I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1186 - 14,300 HP This Week, the We Are Alive Tribe Passive-Income Machine - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, October 26, 2025

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 7 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I was wondering whether I would reach 14,300 HP before the end of this new week, and then I remembered that HPUD is fewer than 5 days away, so the answer to that pondering is a resounding 'yes!', I will indeed easily exceed that amount, and my little HPUD boost will ensure that I'll attain 14,400 Hive Power before the end of next week. I'm honestly astounded by how quickly my Hive Power is growing now, HBD in Savings too, though since I've got all-domain whalehood in my crosshairs, it could always grow faster!

At the present cadence, I'm on track to achieve 15,000 Hive Power by hopefully the middle of December. Reaching my 2025 goal for HBD in Savings is looking like it's going to be very close indeed, but things are going bit more quickly there too, so it may just happen. We shall see.

I've mentioned and written about my Hive Multi-Stream Passive Income Machine, that I've been building, adjusting, tweaking, refining, and growing for the past 4+ years, quite a lot over that time, and now 4 years later I can very clearly see the usefulness of what I've synergized together. This I exactly what I've been slowly putting together for the We Are Alive Tribe as well, since taking over the asset management and finances for our community around the middle of December last year, and while there is still much to do, some of the benefits of what I've assembled are already evident, while others will become apparent over time.

There are still some constraints on what is feasible at the moment, as I've mentioned. Accepting HP leases, to give us layer-2 investment liquidity, which would help immensely in speeding up the process of leveraging and growing assets, wouldn't work very well right now, so that'll be sitting on the shelf, until the time comes when we can make use of it. Continually increasing our income in HIVE and HBD, along with always-significant layer-2 assets like SWAP.HIVE and BEE, provides us with ever-greater leverage that can be used to stimulate grow even more, and over time it makes it possible to share increasingly diverse assets and value with all of you, our community.

As I expressed in yesterday's post, my asset-management work for the We Are Alive Tribe is a means for me to be able to give back to this community in a more notable and substantial manner than by simply using my own account. Bit by bit, and step by step, I'm slowing building an efficient and effective asset-generating machine that will benefit us all more and more as it continues to come together. Consistent and patient steps will get us there, and we're getting closer every day. This is, and is going to be, lots of fun!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, quite late due to rain (which has been falling profusely for days now), a little after 2:30PM, and while I intended to give my attention first to some photography for my posts, I ended up hanging out with Chelsea up on the lava for a while, sharing conversation and some spliffs. When we finally came down from the lava, I went to the Landing to strain and blend coconut kefir, and then I focused on some photography for my posts, while the light was still feasible for photos. Since it was already pretty late in the day, and it was still raining, I didn't get any land work done. Instead, I nibbled on some some spiced-and-seasoned popcorn that Chelsea had made in the Landing, and with a small bowl of that, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand(s), I made my way back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, and to catch up on my Hive notifications. I got everything done very early, by a bit after 8PM, and after some asset management, and exploring Qortal, I went to bed a little before 11:30PM. I woke up just before 6AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
