1. Start getting ready to grow as much food as possible, preferably far enough from the establishment that they won't bug you if/when that becomes illegal

2. Stop being extremely isolated unless you're seriously at risk or living with compromised people. The psychological & emotional ramifications of extreme self-isolation for elongated periods are dangerous on their & can create behavioral / trauma response patterns that will be passed down for generations, especially for people who are raising children and refusing to socialize them
3. Be aware of what your money is supporting and try to move away from the monetary system as much as possible before it's completely digitized. Develop skills like carpentry, gardening, or crafting that produce goods or services that can be bartered and exchanged. Start bringing more economic power to the people.
4. Learn how to discern fact from fiction and avoid herd mentality. Don't believe things just because it's the status quo to do so. Research and verify ANYTHING you hear/read/study. Then verify the sources that you used to verify things in the first place. (This is kind of a rabbit hole which is why discernment is so important)
5. Be aware of what you're putting your creative energy into. Being afraid and living in fear, especially in regard to things that are out of control, saps our creative energy. We could otherwise output this energy into building a life and future, or even a mindset, that nourishes things like compassion, sovereignity and creative/self-expression.

Releasing Global Judgment

Image
The next step for many of us seems to be detaching from the judgments that we have placed upon the world, upon society, and upon others. This is the only logical step because the truth of the matter is that when we judge another we're really just judging another facet of ourselves. That's for a different discussion though. Who of us haven't found ourselves gawking in disgust, horror, or anger at the news? Who hasn't at least had a passing thought about how they hate war, about how things are so terrible, or about how evil the people perpetrating these atrocities are? If we didn't at least some anger toward the things happening world, well, we'd be pretty darn apathetic. But now it's time to let these judgments pass, for that's all they are. Judgment only serves to further separate us from others - even a so-called 'justified' judgment, such as claiming that we're better than someone because we'd never do the same things as ...

Releasing the Mind & Body

Image
It usually hurts to release something. Getting rid of something - a habit, an emotional trait, a belief - almost always hurts because it feels like you're trading  something for nothing. No matter how healthy or unhealthy the behavior or habit is, be it an addiction or a tendency to smile when you see birds, releasing anything can be tough because, at least for a moment, you feel like you have less than you did before. One trades the sensation of fullness for the sensation of being empty. For this reason, many have a hard time 'letting go' of things like unhealthy relationships, addictions, or habitual behavior. After a time, they begin to identify with it and tend to protect or deny it. The important thing to recognize here is that releasing something creates room for an infinite multitude of possibilities. Sure, when you release something, you're left feeling like an empty void. In that void, though, lies the unlimited and unmanifested potential of your min...

A Devolving Culture

BREAKING NEWS: Humanity rapidly devolves into a primitive herd mentality, completely suspending free speech and critical thinking for fear of being exiled from the global community Perhaps the most disappointing and concerning experience I had this week during my trip to Fairy Creek actually had very little to do with the protest itself. Rather, it was a confrontation that I had with two local seniors who combined forces in n effort to both belittle me and validate one another's fragile and baseless worldview. Most likely you've all seen how quickly out of hand arguments can get on controversial Facebook posts. Trolls, as they're called, tend to spew unfounded claims, accusations, and senseless drivel. Uninterested in having a productive conversation or learning anything new, their sole purpose is to assert a single, rigid viewpoint and shove it in as many people's faces as they can, even when their claims are disproven, their 'facts' are corrected, and their a...
