Age of Ethics and Consciousness

Article by Jahrun Chilam Balam 2010.10.10
Let's first listen to a profound 9-minute program from David Wolfe to learn more about the "nature and divine magic of water".

Wolfe's discussion is so very important. All of Wolfe's content is important, but it is particularly important right now for the public to develop an understanding of water, and particularly to understand this magic of capillary action and how that magic works because of the attractive energies normally and naturally present on the surface of each water molecule.

Each water molecule has a set of forces acting that make it highly attractive! These water forces are commonly called "hydrostatic forces" (hydro=water & static=attraction). These forces allow water to stick to water in just the right amount at any temperature and to allow for dissolving or connecting-to salts or solutes. Soap works because it has molecules that allow water and oil to both connect to it.

With this in mind, now let me shift your focus to what has and is happening in the Gulf of Mexico where millions of gallons of the toxic "anti-dispersant compound" is being dumped to act in a way like soap and solvent to the spilled oil that has become painfully evident is not even there.

In other words the BP oil spill was a "false flag" event to distract and enrage the public to believe that the largest oil spill in history was hopelessly unstoppable for months, killing wildlife and polluting shoreline habitats well into future centuries. But the oil wasn't really there, one of the reasons militia and police were enforced to keep everyone away from seeing and reporting and helping.

Like many others, I have been stuffy & itchy-eyed here, and quite especially today. I think perhaps it is from the last of the autumn pollen anticipating this feeling of a rain that is probably not coming. It hurts my back and lower abs to cough - ugh.

But, I made simple and tasty broth/soup last night and today that both eases the hayfever symptoms greatly as well as brings a cozy self-centering comfort.

Ingredients and directions are as follows:
* 3 cups water near boil then turn off then add:
* 1/2 cup dried seaweed like wakame or arame
* 4 large cloves fresh crushed garlic
* 2 teaspoons fresh crushed/squeezed ginger + juices
* 1 tablespoon good organic soy sauce (tamari or nama shoyu)
* Few dashes of cayenne pepper (1/2 teaspoon if low heat pepper like 30,000)
* 2 teaspoons olive oil

Serve in a rustic, wheel-thrown ceramic mug that fits cozily in your hands.

With the massive amount of chemtrail spraying lately, it is good to consume lots of cayenne or other hot peppers to keep mucosa production going as your first line of defense...

Today's Juice
Today's 3-meal juice: apple, kale, cilantro, beet, carrot, cucumber, fennel, and ginger. All organically grown of course, and I soaked the ingredients in fresh cold water for 2 hours before juicing.




Turmeric-Habanero Sauce
The sauce was prepared at high-speed in a regular blender using:
1) quarter-cup of olive oil
2) two fine red habanero peppers
3) bit of ginger
4) four large cloves garlic
5) tablespoon of umeboshi plum vinegar
6) tablespoon of fresh powdered turmeric
7) teaspoon of local honey (sweeten to taste)

A quick journal entry... from the field...

There is an elementary school across the street here in Ballston Spa. They have a small community recycling drop that includes a giant covered dumpster for cardboard and paper, where the school also dumps its things. Nearly each school day, I watch a man with a hand truck,  wheeling broken-down boxes to the dumpster. So naturally, when I needed a few boxes this morning, I went over there and discovered what most of the boxes had contained: styrofoam lunch trays and all manner of disposable plastic and food-related products from Sysco, Tyson Chicken Chunks, Tyson Turkey Tenders, Tony's Smart Pizzas, cheese steaks, apple turnovers and on, and on.

Do you know that heating, microwaving, preparation and serving of hot foods on Styrofoam and other plastics causes release of massive amounts of xenoestrogens, dioxins and PCB carcinogens that transfers into the food, especially foods having fats and oils? How does this affect the health of children eating these lunches at school 5 days each week? What are most children eating at school? Where does it come from? What are your children eating at school? Why do parents create the illusion of animals, and primarily farm animals, as being cute? Why do parents cutesify them only to force the eating of animals? What exactly are adults teaching their children? What rights do animals have? Are we not firstly animals? What makes us different? What rights do children have? What rights should children have?

As it turns out, children today and historically have had very few active rights. Today, parents have them repeatedly injected with what exactly? Parents feed them with? Parents wipe their anus and genitals with astringent alcohols and carcinogenic chemicals and can't figure-out why they have chronic rash or asthmas. Parents tightly swaddle them in highly toxic and genital-stunting disposable diapers until they are three or four or even five years old. Parents powder and smear them with toxic and irritating "personal care" products. But parents not paying attention. Parents believe labels that tout "Safe for Kids!" People demean children when people refer to children "kids". Parents fatten them up on pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, doughnuts, candy and sugar cereals. Parents dress children and their beds in a sousing melange of toxic laundry substances. Parents spray toxic chemicals in their houses and on the lawn where they crawl. Parents have toxic plug-in synthetic fragrance bombs that dull their minds and sense of smell. Parents further debilitate their natural curiosity for exploration by keeping them in the house out of fear. Parents keep them from experiencing and knowing nature. Parents plug them into electronic games and televisions. Parents distract them with sports and fashions. Parents do everything to stupefy and poison them. Parents do everything to keep them from discovering that there is any other possible concept to living other than what the parents are robotically doing themselves. Are you a parent?

But children do have the present right to hold on to and remember the truths they know and witness as children. They have the successive right to overthrow parents, to overthrow parents self-righteous and belligerent will to remaining ignorant, to overthrow the mechanized ways parents spend their days in the noise of self-perpetuated madness that parents call culture that parents call their "job", and that parents shamefully think of as family and life. The children have the successive right to overthrow parents and their denial of what is truly going on in the world around parents, to overthrow the pain and poisoning they are creating for them and the planet. Children have the successive right to make choices that actually resemble caring and being - unlike parents' madness of daycare bills, schools, jobs, credit cards, mortgages, car loans and mass consumerism.

I pray they will soon, and before parents' poisons sentence them to incapacitated mind and early death.

Over the last several years I have been contemplating a lifestyle that is increasingly minimalistic, one where the the focus is on nurturing the part of Earth that I occupy, to restore habitat and ecosystem, and at the same time, grow an abundance of foods for year-round sustenance for myself, tribe, and local community. Sprouting inside of me, is a seed of yearning for home and abode in nature.

Coded inside the seed is my feral creature, one that beckons in a language before the learned tongue of English, so vividly imploring my retreat from domestication; starkly awakened and motivated by messages from seemingly independent sources, like Anastasia, to simply strip off my clothing, place it into a watertight bag, bury it under a rock or in the hollow of a tree and then wander into the forest to live. In strides, I am in the flow of, and flowing toward, a full-time and intimate sensory connection of myself as a completely aware energy being, with that of the Earth as a complete living energy being, all its hosted organisms, and to open the shamanic experience of singularity with  The Cosmic Organism.

Three years ago I began looking at the possibility of living in a yurt, and that idea has matured. In March, I decided to purchase a 24-foot diameter yurt from the Colorado Yurt Company. They provide an online Color Builder tool for previewing canvas color combinations. Here is the preview of the colors I have selected. I received a call the other day telling me that the yurt would probably be ready at the end of this week, which is today. But where to put it?


Two weeks ago, I re-established connections with a couple who own and operate an organic foods market in the northwest corner of Arkansas. I first met John and Sue in January 2007 while driving across the country with my dear friend Willow. In between and during our intense discussions about the world and food, I played my flute and Willow treated John to a massage. We connected so immediately, like star family. So... when I first phoned John a year later to talk about coming out that way to research land, upon introducing myself "This is Jahrun. My friend Willow and I visited your store over a year before.", he asked excitedly "Is this Jahrun the flautist?! Sure, come on out I'll be happy to show you around!" John went on to tell me about having read the Anastasia books that I told him about, that he bought a greenhouse kit, and that he had two large parcels of forest land.

Alas, I never did make it to Arkansas as I had a long way to recover from a stage-4 bone marrow cancer diagnosis, baby Tara was to be the third daughter born in my bed, I was to grow a beautiful garden where I would spend the summer with my lovers and my three daughters, I liquidated my possessions and closed-up the house I was renting in Lancaster to drive to Dallas, and then by early October 2009 I embarked on a bicycle expedition from Mexico to Panama. End of January 2010, I returned to cold and dismal Philadelphia, regressed in my health, an ever restless gypsy, discomforted by the vibes of being back in this country, an outcast, a stranger, a year later. So now I leave for Arkansas this Thursday and jettison the scene here in Saratoga Springs to be with John and Sue, and to be working with them to install the yurt somewhere in the forests of their 80-acre permaculture space of love.

It surprises me a bit that many people have never even heard of a yurt, and of course I am more than happy to inform. Many people I have talked to have been quite interested in my yurt ideas and have raised some good questions. Many of the answers regarding qualitative living experience I cannot provide as I simply do not have the experience of actually installing and living in a yurt. But questions like "Will it be warm enough in the winter?" and "How will you heat it?" meet my clarity of vision and seem relatively simple to answer.

Heating
For heating, I plan to have a variety of sources for heating water, including a passive solar collecting panel and also a wood stove/oven that has a water loop, like the ESSE Ironheart EWB. The Ironheart EWB has an inlet and outlet on the left side to circulate water through the wood stove and then into a hot water reservoir. The hot water reservoir itself could also contain an electric heating element that could be used in conjunction with hydro-electric, solar-electric, or any other generated power as a back-up for providing heat and hot water.

Pictured here is a real-life example of a very basic yurt pad being made that includes an in-floor heating loop. A cement truck delivers a pour of cement having an earthy pigment. Well-illustrated by this photo is the fact that little to no lumber is used in constructing the pad. If you begin researching yurts yourself, you will notice that most yurt installations are founded on the creation of an elaborate decking plus a circular wooden-structure pad on top of that! Using so much lumber to create a deck seems counter-culture to the low-impact significance of having a yurt in the first place. But, concrete is very energy intensive to produce and deliver, though it is quick and easy.

Earthen Adobe Floors
While the above picture does illustrate the basic concept of  having an in-floor heating loop for a yurt pad, I prefer something much more organic and planet-grounding underfoot and so I have been researching techniques for creating earthen floors. I envision an earthen floor made from mostly clay found on site mixed with sand, straw, grain hulls. Once dried and cured the floor will be finished with linseed oil or some other natural curing oil(s). Some people are using an orange oil. Maybe a final coat of carnuba or some other natural sealing wax. Some people are embedding their art into their adobe floors using additional pigments, or other natural media like pebbles. This could be fun!

Clay is a major industrial mineral resource in Arkansas. Combined industry output in 1995 amounted to over 1 million tons of raw clay, valued at over $1.2 million. In 1995, Arkansas ranked 4th in the nation in production of both kaolin and fire clays, and 9th in common clays. Few data concerning tonnage and grade of individual clay deposits in Arkansas are available, but the amount of potentially useful clay in Arkansas is substantial.

Unlike concrete cement, not only will an earthen floor further reduce the cost and amount of lumber resources required, an earthen floor is easily re-integrated back into the natural environment at such time as it is deconstructed. What actually happens for me will depend on several factors including what materials are available at the site, how much help is available and, how quickly I am able to obtain the prerequisite materials. It occurs to me that I may need to construct two pads, one as an interim solution until the earthen floor dries, with the plan to move-in before winter. I may simply live outside until then. This feels okay to me so long as I have a hammock.


Some advantages of Earthen Flooring:
● Eliminates construction waste – excess earth returns to landscape.
● Attractive, grounding, comfortable, slightly spongy, comparable to leather.
● Materials are inexpensive if not freely available.
● Installation mistakes are easily to repair.
● Easily absorbs other pigments for special designs or artwork.
● Minimal pollution as materials require little processing or transport.
● Durable with proper care and easily repairable with nearby clay soil.
● Low maintenance, able to be swept or moist-mopped; properly sealed.
● Stabilized earthen flooring is not dusty.
● Easy to shape flooring into other features.
● High degree of thermal storage and slow thermal release.
● Good for radiating a soft and even heat from an in-floor heating loop

Some Disadvantages of earthen Flooring
● Labor intensive to install.
● Long time to dry and cure in some cases.
● High traffic areas may require additional materials.
● More vulnerable to scratching and gouging than hard tile or cement.


In-floor Storage

Perhaps the floor should be a hybrid sandwich of reinforced pumice concrete and cob? This would allow for a quicker initial set-up. Cob could be added gradually using the in-floor heating loop as a way to reduce drying times when it is cool and humid.
The layout in this diagram is not final as I will need to consider size and spacing of these receptacles particularly the strength of the floor material in-between them. But you get the idea: lots of bedding, clothing games, kitchen wares, dry foods, etcetera can be stored out of sight.

Before my bicycle ride today I had an inspiring and colorful lunch, featuring a trillium open-faced sandwich and raw warm borscht.

Open-faced Trillium Sandwich
On the plate are three open faced sandwiches of organic sour dough bread spread thickly with freshly-made hummus mixed-in with tamari and chipotle powder, topped with thinly-sliced onion, tomato, multi-colored sweet peppers, watercress and a pile of sunflower sprouts in the center.

Avocado Salsa on Brown Rice
Later, on returning from today's 28-mile bicycle ride, I used the blender again to make a avocado salsa using almost the same ingredients I used for the borscht, only I used a substituted an avocado instead of a red beet, and added freshly-squeezed juice from one whole lemon, a pinch of Celtic sea salt and half a teaspoon of powdered cayenne pepper. In the bowl I placed a small serving of long-grain brown rice, smothered it with the avocado salsa, topped with a tablespoon of ground panch phoran mixture (panch phoran/sesame/flax/Celtic sea salt), and finally I garnished with sweet pea sprouts and watercress.

Home-grown Sprouts and Greens
Except for the toast and small portion of whole grain brown rice, these dishes are raw and use all organic or home-grown ingredients! It is easy to sprout and grow many foods in a sunny window. Here growing in the light of my window are the sunflower sprouts and the watercress shower and refill with fresh oxygenated water each day.


Enjoy!

Article and compilations by Jahrun Chilam Balam 2010.04.15

Over the last several years, I have awakened to the miracle of water and have been boisterous in sharing my understandings all along. Two nights ago, I was gifted with a real "treat" that has been downloaded into my cerebral cortex computer.

The Natural News daily news letter has been synchronic and instrumental in connecting me with the tools I have needed to raft the whitewater challenges and transitions that have been ongoing in my life these last three years. In less than one minute, you too can connect with the Natural News daily newsletter, and if nothing else, something will catch your eye from time to time that will help you and others you know. Why don't you do that now and then come back to this article?

Without further delay, now I will share this "treat" as part of a compilation of profound highlights to contemplate regarding water. The treat includes a podcast audio interview with Daniel Vitalis by host Mike Adams. After listening intently to this program, I was compelled to learn more about Daniel. I found a series of videos that I list below as "Must Experience".

Those of you who know me, know that many of these things I have already been speaking of these last years. But Daniel Vitalis has presented the concepts in a way that has congealed and permanently affected me. I am fortified, encouraged and committed to my migration toward a feral life.
