“What is the most important stage of Tiny House & community construction?” Where does it go!

This is a great question that addresses the very foundations of what we believe in individually about the quality and cost of the materials we will build the future with, limiting the toxin load from the materials as they are being created, as well as outgas for the first year or two while living in them. It is also a question of living in smaller pollution and consumption footprint for life, not just talk about it, and the cost to the planet, from a resource, fuel, environment, and human energy calculation.  Each person has to evaluate which of these areas of our life’s needs or desires, physical, mental, and immune systems conditions, spiritual, political, and Earth-oriented perspectives or values.  This is about considerations if you want to build a house to live in for the rest of your life, to be able to take it with you when you move or leave it to your friends or heirs, this reflects on the materials and size, the SpaceMagic import-free design of your home, tiny as it might be or otherwise interconnects with porchways. What sort of community ethos are you joining and who is in charge? Will you be one of the founders?

Once you take into account that imports send wealth to other places, and generally global corporations make their profits on cheap foreign labor, resources, manufacturing, and transportation to Americans to take our money and jobs back out.  If you want your people to be employed you would decide to buy local.  If you want to create work, hire local people to create what you want.  If you want toxin-free, aged, and proven American made materials, like lumber from Virgin forests, bricks from clays rich in iron, baked hard at high temperatures to last for centuries, or hardware made from the finest iron, brass, copper, and zinc ever mined in the United States.  How this is treated and the examples of what can be saved for our grandchildren to also appreciate people with amazing skills turning iron and copper ore, zinc, and other metals into such incredible hardware? Artisans we can learn from again if our people ever want to or need to rebuild our country again. Rather than have the mines to get ore from, grow new trees, or import from other places, why not save the best of the past that is so far better than what can be found instead?

If you want quality like America was once known for, buy it instead of the foreign-made built-to-break and bring you back culture, with oil base plastics, inside and wrapped around, then buy it and build with it or better yet, go out and get it for free.  Use your hands, your minds, your imagination, and know that you can save 99% of the materials to build a house from houses, buildings, and barns that already exist virtually for free.  You can do it without shipping across oceans, but instead, use some of the 51% of the vintage building materials that comprise what is going into our landfills each year.  This means your decision saves resources that are sorely needed, have already been mined, smelted, formed, porcelain-coated, and shipped all around the country, ready to use, like a giant home depot, but nearly free for the picking. How does one choose what to build with or how big without considering where it will go, and who you will then be living with? Who is in charge and decides vital things that set up the foundations, the rules, and who sings in a community chorus with the energy you bring?

What is a flower without a bee or helper to carry pollen all about? Kill them off and nothing lives, like worms, the bees, each play a part.

Every community will have an ethos about these things are important or not to the health and wealth of the community. If all of the people like organic gardens then no one has to eat the poison put on by others who disagree and share the gardens with you. Some would be very upset to see their children suffer for the poisons accidentally put down to kill bugs but hurt humans too. We need bugs, food for frogs, birds, and so many creatures. What will your community policy be?

If you want to help our planet, our species, and our environment socially, not only will you be thinking Tiny Houses to build Pure Salvage Living Villages with, thus a safety net for the 76,000,000 baby boomers hitting the wall. No, this goal is for the kids who need to know that all the parts and pieces for the future, that made this country great, are still hidden before our very eyes and will not only make us free, but teach our children how to once more survive without foreign imports, cheap labor, oil products, energy waste, toxic health issues, and a breakdown in family, community. We are due for some old-fashioned simplicity that modern marketing has nearly extinguished. How do villages and intentional communities teach the children without going to public schools that require jabs, even surprise parents by doing such without permission but a bribe to the child instead? Times are a-changing and some will choose to create alternative communities and this will be one of the issues each community will face… like the size of the houses, the source of power, the lawns versus gardens, and organic versus natural. These are the freedoms at risk which many choose to preserve over city life that may pay much more money but cost much more to experience.

To be fair, I am a purist at the fringe with the elements used in my artistic world of 95% Pure Salvage Tiny Texas Houses.  I have pioneered to push the envelope of what is possible in sub-zero carbon footprint sustainable, portable, healthy, 100+ year lifespan, import-free housing that is built entirely in America. I am biased towards my solutions lending themselves toward creating sustainable societies that can survive without taking but instead giving back to the local community as well as the whole planet.  That said, my bias exposed, the most important thing you can do is decide what you want to be happy and if that means making the individual decision, regardless of the size of your home, to do things that will benefit not only yourself, but the species, your parents, friends, children, and the generations to follow is important in the final score. Then decide if sub-zero carbon footprint, all-natural, organic, with the energy of our forefathers preserved and respected for the hundreds of years their creations can last should be handed off to others to appreciate and benefit from before throwing in the dump.  

Perhaps then decide on what you want to build with, how big, and for how long you want it to last when you are done.  How healthy do you want to be once you move in considering environmental causes for illness are now being recognized for numerous ailments, without even getting into cancer?  In the big picture, with due respect for the human energy, resources, and ingenuity we have been gifted, what our forefathers built centuries ago, without electricity or gasoline, these things can not be ignored, undervalued, forgotten.  If so, we no longer deserve to be taking more from the planet.  I believe that the right answer is, reuse, recycle, make it last, reinvent, reconstruct, pass it along, and never ever throw it away until there is nothing left to save. So many things that must be considered besides religion or political party. These are the things that freedom speaks of, the choices to pursue our great dreams on a farm, with a family, a homestead, a village as One.

I have proven the extremes are easily within reach so no one else has to prove it is possible.  Now the trick is to let everyone know there is such an alternative, and it only costs human energy, imagination, ingenuity, community, and the other things we have an abundance of in America.  Best of all, if we join together, this is also a passion, a fuel for hope, self-sufficiency, self-respect, freedom from debt, and a way out of the rat race at the end, when we need a tiny resting spot the most.  Thank you for being part of the dialogue about Tiny Houses and hopefully my vision for a Pure Salvage Living Movement that will make solutions possible even faster and for more people.  

Please share, like if you would help us get the word out that solutions are just a short reach away, with faith, Wii, all of us “I”s together can get through the rough times from this winter and spring to build smarter and better when Wii do it again.

Energy-efficient, better still, lasting lifetimes, materials for housing generation after generation freely& sustainably. Rebuild with salvage in mind.

Tiny Texas Houses33 min ago

When it comes to the idea of targeting minimal energy consumption from beginning to end, it is critical that the resources used to build the houses be of foremost importance. With that in mind, I contend that Salvage Mining and Salvage Building are the best paths to take toward the future of an energy-conscious evolution for housing in America in particular. If you do not have to recreate the materials to build houses with then you save before you move in, not just after as seems to be the normal way of looking at the energy cost of housing. Short analysis for your consideration and sharing follows with a million words in picture form.

Fuel to create bricks, glass, hardware, transport across oceans, or to put through a typical marketing and distribution network that requires air conditioning and advertising, giant profits for executives, and retirement benefits for all who bring it to your store for you to buy and pay taxes on for the privilege. Imagine why those many industries frown on the salvage industry that negates nearly all of those mundane costs to give you the best materials for little more than human energy required to clean the nails, doors, windows, and more to use them for another generation of housing, or two.

Foremost, there is the simple consideration of transforming the way we live in this country to bring us back in line with the rest of the world when it comes to the amount of space we use for housing. The most sobering of facts is that 50,000,000 people are reaching retirement age and a very rude awakening from an economic reality that is facing them as they realize that they will no longer be able to afford, nor desire to afford, to live in large energy-hungry houses. This Baby Boomer generation is realizing that having “things” is no longer as important as they once were. Downsizing is becoming the new mantra as they face the next few decades of their life and what it will cost to survive.

Tiny Texas Houses are based on the idea that we can build energy-efficient houses from the best of materials ever produced in this country over the last couple of centuries when quality resources were readily tapped and manpower was cheap. The 500-year-old trees that were once abundant became houses and buildings across the country and after one use is being thrown into landfills that are now 51% building materials. Why waste all of that energy and those irreplaceable resources when they can be reused in their present form as lumber, windows, doors, flooring, siding, and trim for the next generation of housing?

Likewise, the best of all cast iron, brass, and bronze hardware for doors and windows is still good after a hundred years of use and will continue to work well for the next century while also being repairable instead of disposable. This means a gigantic savings in energy from the standpoint of mining, manufacturing, and the shear longevity of something already made versus hardware with built in obsolescence as a marketing strategy.

With modern insulation like Icynene, it is possible to move away from fractured logic technologies like double-paned glass that fogs up after 12 years, which is the time it takes for the payback on the more expensive product. Using old glass also means that we do not crank up furnaces to create new glass every 12 years, fuel to carry it out to the houses and replace the glass, and the oil-based vinyl used to hold the glass in place until it fails again 12 years later. Storm windows for colder climates and window films to block harmful sunlight allow people in Tiny Houses to have utility bills in the summer of less than $50 per month with the AC blaring in the South, thus dramatically reducing the need for disposable windows.

Furthermore, going back to designs where natural ventilation of the heat out of the house, natural cooling through airflow, and placement of the houses to minimize heat gain all come together to reduce the energy needs of each person over their remaining life. This makes it viable for people to be able to afford to stay in their tiny house until the end of their lives because they can pay the utilities, taxes, maintenance, and share a smaller footprint on the ground thus freeing up land to grow their garden on. The concept of Tiny Texas Villages means people can live in groups with other like-minded people on land that would normally be consumed by a single larger Mac Mansion.

Tiny Texas Villages allow for 10-15 Tiny Houses of up to 300 square feet on an acre of land with 10,000 square feet of gardens for food, green space for trees and decorative plants, a common house in the middle for a meeting, sharing a larger kitchen and meals, and entertainment. Wind generators and solar panels could power the whole village, which would have a minimal power consumption footprint because of good uses of shade, insulation, and planning. Water consumption could be minimized through gray water separation and filtration for reuse in greenery as well as operating toilets, and non-potable functions. Shared talents in each village would provide opportunities for aging people or young people to grow food, do upkeep and maintenance, drive to the stores in groups to shop, cook together to minimize food waste, and to enjoy companionship with a like mind group that shares the village grounds.

Tiny Texas houses are built from the best materials and designed to last for centuries rather than decades as has become the norm. They use quality wood unlike most new housing built from trees grown in 19 years that are mostly soft cellulose and destined to decay quickly or be great candy for termites and bugs to eat. Using salvaged wood that has already been cured and paints that do not outgas means providing a toxic-free environment without plasticizers, VOC’s, sheetrock, or glues that outgas to add to the toxin load that the Baby Boomer generation has already absorbed and can interfere with good health and our immune systems. For young families, it means a clean environment for children to grow up in and stay healthy.

By utilizing LED lighting, low energy consuming appliances like induction cooktops, and minimizing the size of the houses, it will be possible for people to live longer healthier lives. Lowering stress levels by reducing the financial burdens that come with maintaining more house than they need and having a community to share the challenges of aging together with will also be healthier and delay or eliminate the need for moving into assisted care or worse, old folks homes.

These are the principles that are going to be important to the Baby Boomers and the planet as a whole if we are to preserve the future for the next generation. If we lead by example, then perhaps the younger generations will also see the logic and likewise choose to live in tinier houses, targeting a 0 carbon footprint instead of demanding giant houses that exemplify the excesses Americans have mastered more than any other nation in the world.

This is not a figment of the imagination because the proof that it can be done is before anyone who chooses to look and see we can build this way. Proof of concept has been completed and the BnB business plan allows for investing and growing small communities using salvage as a foundation. It creates work that is profitable and productive, with jobs for anyone who wants to participate in the Salvage mining, building, or hunting down and logistics involved in the Pure Salvage Living Renaissance… an industry that makes life better for all who participate. Better still, it helps keep the new housing sustainable and our compatibility with nature at its best.

For proof of the popularity and demand check out the internet for tiny houses but limit it to organic healthy sustainable and out of Salvage. You will only find www.tinytexashouses.com or on Youtube or Facebook. There are enough Salvageable Building materials sitting on the ground in this country right now to build the next generation of housing without ever needing to cut down another tree to build a house with, mine new ore for making hardware for doors and windows, glass, or mining copper for more wiring. Still few have taken this course to get tinier houses and cottage growing as an industry until the demand for intentional communities is there, the trick will be where to put them.

All it will take is human energy, which given the high unemployment rates we are experiencing, means that jobs can be created at all levels, from Salvage Mining to Salvage Building, that cannot be exported but rather used to teach skills to our youth and provide a future for the masses.

This Pure Salvage Living solution unleashes a trillion dollars, possibly much more once the true value is recognized. It is a treasure trove of invisible wealth in the form of a commodity viewed as trash. This vast reserve of sequestered carbon is preformed, cut, baked, smelted, mined, and transported to the local area already. These troves of building materials can be tapped to create work and housing without using carbon or energy that is being wasted for construction now. We can make the new technologies blend with the best materials and products we ever created during the industrial revolution in the last century when we were known for making great products and re-task, reutilizing, and revitalizing our country at the same time. Best of all, we can build healthy houses for our families without imports that send the future they should have abroad. Individual choices change what happens every day.

If it works as I expect, we can reignite pride in craftsmanship, simplicity, conservation, ingenuity, and preservation that once made us a country that was proud of what it created. I am afraid of what will happen if we waste what is left when there is nothing left to replace it and don’t pass on the knowledge or the tools to the generation that will inherit what we are leaving behind.

I hope this inspires people to think about the possibilities of changing their worlds in a new way they had not thought of before. Please ask questions, get involved, and stop the waste before it is too late. Let us start building our future out of it now, while we are still able, individually, physically, and joining together.

Better still, in the growth of this new paradigm, we may enable people to survive on the little savings that most Americans now have to live out the rest of their lives with as they face retirement. Bartering, local shared resources programs, education about life skills, and incentivized opportunities are natural means of maximizing productivity and yield at any Salvage Mining site. I believe this has the potential to provide hope for the younger generation that will have to pay for the excess and taxes from wars and bail outs that have brought this country to its knees economically.

This is not just about saving electricity or fuels. it is about saving resources, tapping and maximizing the potential of human energy and imagination, and reigniting an American pride that is going to be lost if we do not pass along the knowledge of the baby boomers to the young as to how to build with our hands, create housing that will last for our grandchildren, and save what we have before it is all gone to rot in the landfills, never to be seen again. This was the house in the double rainbow picture for the book by one of my heroes, Lloyd Kahn.

My vision includes the bonuses of not just American, as in giant American companies, it means on a local level across the country where all the resources lay in open sight available for all to use. It is the treasure trove of resources our ancestors left to their children, not to be squandered, but saved and used to house the generations that would follow.

Pure Salvage Living is a natural non-violent way of revolutionizing the way we live in America that promotes the individual choice as a solution, a local community knit together by passing along and saving not only the houses, barns, and trees, but the knowledge from the elders who built lived in and loved the many houses and buildings we are taking apart to reuse. We are promoting the simplest of solutions at the most local level. Tiny Houses like the rest of the world needs right now, are designed to last and to be energy efficient by using the best of the past and present to create a life that everyone can enjoy.

It means saving more energy and resources than most people presently imagine exist. When we wake up and see what we can do to teach the young kids how to build this sort of solution out of the strong bones of the industrial age of abundance. They have a future of Salvage Mining and stashing it away in community warehouses, Salvage Outposts I call them, to open the pipeline and meeting place with Salvage Builders, Salvage Hunters, and Salvage Miners.

It is hard to believe that it could take so little carbon and money from the world to make it all happen. Working together to share knowledge, tools, trucks, trailers, and all the resources sitting around underused, going to waste when they could be facilitating the transformation of our country. How many giants empty abandoned global corporate buildings lie vacant that could be used for storing the treasure left to salvage and save for the next three generations to build? Taking what is wasted and using it rather than tearing it down unnecessarily or wasting what we could retrieve is nearly sinful at a time when so many can use the wood, the windows, and doors to create housing. Salvage the past to create a future worth living instead of those who wish they were dead rather than face freezing in the rain and snow with starving children. Do not wait until it is too late. Act now!

This manifestation of a solution that benefits so many will need donors and mentors who are not doing it for the 501c3 tax deduction but because they want to help make change happen, not just talk about it. Passing along the assets and knowledge it will take to the new generation that needs them is wonderful. But with the incredible hand tools and possibilities we give, more essential is the knowledge of how to use them. This is part of what the mentors will do in the big picture. They, with the donors, will help us pass along to the next generation the tools and knowledge, as well as the materials it will take to rebuild this country from the bottom up.

We have so much to pass on to the next generation before it is lost, especially about how to farm the land organically again, living together to use that on a local level and share when in abundance. Our generation has seen the old homesteads deteriorate into obsolescence. Please don’t let them be wasted when they meant so much to so many for so long. They made this country possible by housing our forefathers from the weather so they could settle here.

We have the same forests around us now, except they are already cut up and ready to use. Bricks are formed, beams, windows, doors, and so much more, passed to us with the best of dreams and hopes that we would use them and appreciate the hard work and human energy it took to make them, not to mention the fossil fuels needed to bake brick. Hardware from copper, iron, brass that is seldom found of that quality today, before electricity and with 12-year-olds doing the hard work of bringing coal out of tiny mineshaft to make glass and other things for houses in 1875.

Nearly everything is here. Please join me in trying to save as much of it as possible and transform it into one of the many solutions needed by the people on the planet, the people of this country, those immediately around us locally. It is something we can act on in the morning and start changing it in a positive way rather than dread the worst and not take action. Awake to the world of Pure Salvage Living my friends and fellow Earthlings. There is an incredible future at your front door.

Tiny Texas Houses 8/21/10 12:25 AM

Did you escape spells cast on you by mass media’s “Songs Not True”? To Live & speak Freely is proof! Truth?

2022 is quickly coming at you and the horizon is filling with proof that the future is going to be more than you imagined, and most of the surprises are coming to Light. Will you go along or be one who will fight as the darkness that follows the day is not night but the smoke in the air and the bombs that ignite? War is arising though slowly at first, the path generals follow will be a great curse that will wipe out great nations and leaders will fall unless we move quickly to stall this great rush to divide us all. Unity and Freedom as a combination based on Truth and Transparency as a means toward the elimination of the entities that breed war instead of fostering peace.

It is impossible to find and stop the greed, killing, and taking advantage of all people, things, and the planet without open communication where dialogue can exist. Short of that Wii, all of the “I”s working together through other routes, still communicating in new words that will define our future cultures. Censoring and banning of one sequence of letters does not change the meaning or intent of other sequences that act like a virus or code, transmitting much more than first appears unless you understand the new language… code… or way to say what must be said. What better Proof of Concept is there than the Let’s Go Brandon slogan running rampant around the world? Ooops, how did that slip in here… oh decorations for the trees.

Truly the time to release and reap the rewards of memes and word salads that allow us to get past the algorithms as well as closeted censors paid to Check Facts as defined by a questionable source or two. Logic has been cast into the bin of tools to be cumbersome to use instead of simple emotions and propaganda of the moment. Given the ability of programmers to create games more inviting to the customers than life itself, the future may end up being defined by their actions on those games with robots carrying out the actions, good or bad, without the players realizing the opponents are real live entities who have been animated by the amazing computers interpreting the data from the cameras in the warzones.

Drones have taught us many things about the future of war, of survival in a world that the digital consequence of your keyboard could take down nuclear plants if your robot got by all the security and you won the game no one else could. “What ifs” of my youth in comic books and movies are now more than the fictional possibility that few have yet to comprehend really exist. More intense to understand, to comprehend as no longer farfetched but facts kept secret is the technology that awaits disclosure in the coming year, 2022 will be more than most humans are willing to believe, to factor into their version of reality. Dick Tracy is no longer wearing the coolest tech in the world as he was when I was a kid, cell phones make that obsolete tech. I work with the belief our world could do amazing things if all of what is behind the Curtain in Oz were revealed, but the forces using that same power for evil controls are not going to give it up without a fight.

Thus are the awakening of the forces and realizing they are on opposing sides, the Ying and the Yang of the endless change continue to flow but at higher speeds, as we near a turning point on Earth. The clock of the universe brings solar, cosmic, and truly spiritual times upon us without the choice of Mankind to stop the changes but to hopefully survive them and do better when the Reset is over, regardless of which way you define that word… RESET is indeed coming, but who will control, be in the battle as a warrior or victim, and then help teach those who survive the storms from sky, volcanoes, and the societies around us in the next 5 years.

Are you preparing to thrive as the times change and opportunities no one ever thought of arising? Some will be struck down, mesmerized by the distractions, and never truly act to change their fates, fearing and anxious, many will not even try to become the incredibly strong and powerful Beings they have the chance to become in these exciting times. What your choice will be, society or breaking free to start anew with a chance for you and the ones you love the most. If you can agree, create a place to be, and certainly get out, then let me know and I will help you grow the path if you just give us a shout.

Some gladly choose slavery over having to be exceptional, stand out from the flock, and be rejected even more when you do well and they move on. Savor the sidelines and the freedom at the fringe where the Chasms to the future that you want can thus be seen. Set your goals for what you dream of, no matter those who doubt for your instincts and your Light within will guide you best so long as the heart with love guides what you do, I know your truth will guide you too. Blessings to your month of preparation for 2022 as you savor the moments, the times Wii have been through. It would be nice to think this will be a quiet month, but I assure you, quite contrary, it will be a doozy of a Christmas, and New Year will be amazing, great for some, devastating for others. Prepare to thrive in the future that rewards those who have imagination and take action using ingenious methods of thinking and doing all you dream of in a wonderful way. Drink of the positive water from a copper container filled with dreams and visions that will charge your future, letting it grow and honor it as you form the gelatinous shell with clay and water, critters, and Spirit.

Make a splash in life yourself instead of just watching others play in the world.

Savor the days. clean water, good people around you, and a dream you can live for with a passion that never dies. Thrive by living fully, not by running from life and escaping into the stories and fabrications of others, for TV watching is not living, it is a distraction. So is waiting for support, love, and real people to show up on Facebook or most social platforms where avatars are generally liars with no eye to eye contact with what most call friends any more. Say the wrong thing and get canceled by the scores of Sheople who are scared that the truth will knock upon their door where they can not ignore it anymore.

Savor the day. Savor the freedom to drink what you please but be careful cause the Kool-Aid is spiked as you may see and those who can not tell the difference seem to think that what is free is good for you, like the jabbers do, yet soon they will be gone. Make your choices with a clear mind and faith that you are amazing and can be healthy far beyond the doctors make it seem. Live, Love, and share.

Shed the ego and the lies, the traps along the ways, to leap into tomorrow where you’ll Thrive in Light filled Days.

Truly few imagined arriving at the year we have with the world looking as it does… surreal though it seems, it is real. Are you coming to that “Chasm at the Fringe” (a poem about that big decision to leap from where you are,

where you have to make decisions that will change your life as you knew it, alter your future in ways that can not happen unless you leave the past behind? Yes, the future, starting with right this moment, hinges on you decide to leave your anxiety behind, to leave guilt, attachments to things, or to the opinion of people who would not change for you but expect you to change to make them happy. That will not happen for no one can make another person happy indefinitely, only for a moment.

Savor the moment, the time you are in now instead of the problems of your past, the fear of the future, or the confusion in the distractions all about. Stop, pause, meditate or pray so that you can stop spinning around in a circle instead of moving forward. You can not leap a wide chasm if you are carrying the weight of others’ sadness, guilt, or regrets that they impose upon you. YOU can not leap the Chasm at the Fringe if you are depending on others to get you there! It is your efforts alone, the perspectives that will determine your fate, not that of those watching you, for they can not do the work or prepare for the changes you must make within. You are the only person that can truly determine your level of faith, confidence, and thus the odds of your success.

I Sing the Song of Salvage and I sing it very well… its a song I will be singing as I shape the world and sell other people on the concept we can salvage our way to wealth. (Played to a kayak ride and view of Kayak Bayou in Salvage, Texas)

So what are you and your shadow planning to do with your life in 2022 that will separate you from the masses who will hold onto each other so tight by using the government to force community conformity, to bind all to the same narrative and fate if possible, running off the cliff if that is where they are led by the shepherds who have only their goal, to get to the slaughterhouse with as many sheep in the flock as possible? It is not for the sake of the sheep that he works, but for the benefit of his people who will create the clothes and the food from the sheep, not to have them die of old age. The public seems to think that they are not viewed as sheep by the masters of finance and corporate organizations that feel obligated to be the shepherds, and to make decisions that benefit them, but not the sheep beyond getting the from the pastures where they are fattened to the slaughterhouse where their value is extracted.

Did you see the splash in the news some say, not knowing where it came from or why it comes their way?

As the public awakens to the controls, to the masters using their methods to manipulate so many, some do not comply? Instead, they break away from the flock and run for the outer borders of the pastures, even daring to go near the cliffs, the chasms at the edge of reality. It is where imagination and ingenuity are abundant, unconstrained, able to grow into solutions, empowerment, and give the power to leap the chasm and with a Light heart, rise up to be the Star that others follow and thus have the Faith that they too can reach a new plateau of perception and manifestation that those who remain in this matrix of distraction and fear with never know if even here. Truly some are thriving, even in these times while others are distraught, depressed, even suicidal for lack of hope and money as the winter sets in, prices for food rise, fuel costs rise, and nothing on the horizon implies that the incomes will rise in unison to offset the inflation that is now rampant.

If you plan to act, now is the time to plan for 2022 instead of being at the back of the line shopping for things that are all sold out and the delivery system to restock is broken down. In a world of globalization, we are about to learn how critical the need for each of the links in the giant chain be strong and not break. Now that they have, the costs of dependency on a global network will be millions of lives as famine, sickness, and depression from the loss of the lives people were living that will never be coming back to what they considered normal just two years ago. That boat has left the dock and will not be back… reality as the world knew it… society as it was assembled, is about to go through that proverbial wringer and the power of it drained out if the powers that be can remain in control, no one will be allowed to protest or resist if the governments are going to remain the leaders of the countries in spite of the populations rejecting their authority.

Where are the villages for those who resist the narrative and believe there is more to have faith in than Fauci? How does Wii find the Gates that are not working to innoculate and sterilize our world? Perhaps going to the top of Miracle Mountain and asking for answers as some have been known to do will lead you past your Walden Pond to find a truer view. Pass through the Covered Bridge Over Untroubled Waters to find your home, your village in the future world that you dream up this year. Would you believe that now is time to try and think more clearly?

The consequences to the leaders will be like it has been in past weather cycles on the planet when food became scarce and the populace attacked the leaders and blamed them for not planning better, for not sharing the wealth. In the end, revolutions follow against the greedy leaders, Kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers, all held accountable for misleading the masses into believing the leaders were actually looking out for them when instead, they were just planning on how to stay in power and live in the luxury they are accustomed to while they watch the population thin down to controllable numbers. Some may not believe what the people on the ground achieve when they go at it fully charged with visions of the world at large. Be the example of what your passion and will can do to help make the world a better place, even if only by creating one Retreat from the City, just in case.

Look for the door in the woods of life, the one with the doorknob awaiting your hand that will lead you to the Light through the forest of challenges meant to be here, a door to opportunity will be ready if you are open to escape the Matrix.

Savor the days… the holidays and the time to plan for the year ahead, and perhaps for the one after that.
