Gorgeous, straight from your fertile heart. What a pleasure to get a peek into your journey. Thank you, thank you thank you, Kyle. So much inspiration here for continuing to expand my no-till garden and biodynamic dream. Sacred holiday to you all. 🥰
You nailed it. Without this connection we all go off the rails. I hope you might comment or post the appropriate response to The Year of The Mindfuck by CJ Hopkins.
He nails it too. His way out of that is what you post here. If you can, help CJ Hopkins. Than you
I understand your lingering, deep sense of loss of Lupe and the lifestyle you were living at the time. It is a real and profound loss that, as you share, is much greater than two people and some acreage. It's about the psychopathic takeover of Mother Earth as a way to try killing The Great Creator and his creations. I know they won't win, but it's a huge amount of work for those of us who sense what is happening and do what we can to remain connected to the Divine for wisdom, guidance, courage, and protection.
Aloha Kyle, most honored by your sharing of your 'story' of life, the universe and everything! May you find many blessings each and every time you sit down to craft a substack article! Looking forward to your take on 'useful idiots'...May you have a safe and wondrous celebration of the enfolding of 2023 and the unfolding of 2024!
Thank you Kyle, that was awesome. I've always wanted to live on a farm but I suppose that the Divine had other plans for me. Still trying to figure out what that might be. Those were the best days to be alive IMO and unless you were there you can never understand that. Everyone in my family read Yogananda's book. My dad wanted to move us out to Cali in late 60s but I was the only one who wanted to go. So he wound up going to Florida alone and we all wound up there at one point or another. I don't think it was the same vibe as Cali back then. Looking forward to more of your story. Sorry about Lupe. Que lastima!
"Our House" oh my that was always one of my favourites.
I'm of the same generation as you, and have lived in an idyllic Canadian West Coast community for 30 years, but it's only quite recently that I've fully grasped that my small house and yard (half an acre) means everything to me. This Fall I planted more deciduous trees for much-needed summer shade.
When we were young, the world was a much quieter place, without the now nearly tripled population + insanely world-shrinking technologies. Much as I detest and fear what the elites are trying to do (kill most of us and enslave the rest), I somewhat guiltily can't help but share their idea that there are too many of us. There are no real wildernesses anymore... I think of Paul Simon's line "lasers in the jungle somewhere". Urban sprawl has ruined so many countrysides.
But maybe such numbers of us could thrive well, if all things could be decentralized, with small villages becoming the healthier ecological norm. Then again, not everyone wishes to live in a garden cottage. If we manage to defeat the globalists, who knows what future will take shape.
How fascinating! What a life you've had! I do not get jealous of those living in big ugly cardboard homes. Keeping up with the Jonses just ain't worth it to me. Most of these people do not seem happy. Whenever I hear the Mamas and Papas song, California Dreaming, I feel like I missed out on something important. Can't wait for you to continue your life story. Blessings!
I just read 44 years of homesteading and instantly you turned into a kindred spirit. I can not wait to read more. So sorry that your relationship with Lupe ended. It was so special.
Have you connected with this Ashram, mauka to Kona? Best coffee on Big Island. Best intentional community I have discovered. https://wingskonacoffee.com/ 100+ year old Japanese coffee plantation.
I was a good haole, but Pele said I had to go back to my people in Texas. My Latina girl married me.
I also use "The Divine" as a descriptor. I surfed one day on a longboard. I have witnesses.
My first 6 years were in and near San Diego. I left my appendix at the Naval Hospital for my 4th birthday.
I graduated from Yokohama International School, while living with the Daibutsu in Kamakura.
I enjoyed every bit of your story Kyle. Including the most important parts about love and closeness to the Highest, within ourselves, sharing it with others. This Godly closeness is where some people have trouble in making a connection. It’s eerily as frightening to know how plans to destroy what is in our nature (again OUR nature), has been so underhandedly kept secret. It’s all of these things that would probably make the best “listicle” ever written. And likely take a whole lot of people, time and effort to collaborate on it.
Still, I’d love to see it as a whole new way to teach our children about how NOT to act as fellow human.
I do hope that someday you find healing from your love being lost through life’s challenges. Probably the most difficult act of self defense is trying to avoid emotional closeness. Like falling in love for fear of being hurt again, this struggle can occur with any type of relationship, any loving types. I’ve seen it play out countless times in numerous ways, especially after experiencing death of loved ones. When I thought that spending time together in order to heal through love between “surviving” loved ones is the way to progress from deep grief ~ my family and I experienced an even deeper rift. I can’t say I have all the answers to life and what the body’s death means in all of this. But, I do know that separation of loved ones is a rotten thing to use as a weapon of decimation towards humanity. It’s exactly what you mention with regard to the earth and it’s soil- a part of us (as we are a part of earth). You explained it well as a deep connection to ourselves. It’s a hugely important way to survive amongst nature as we are (naturally) able to do so. Love is the fundamental thread which holds us together. You’ve demonstrated that you haven’t lost that most important aspect. :) Thank you.

You are a great inspiration to me!💝
Interesting life story... I can relate, and still setting up survivable stakes, currently in Thailand....(at 76)

Rich story and appreciate the values presented there!
Love hearing your story! I've wanted to learn more about Rudolph Steiner for a while.
Loved this, and feel ya. Christmas Blessings from Ireland.
