Great Adventure Stories of Struggle and Overcoming... by YourEnchantedGardener .....
My life has been for me a Great Adventure Stories of Struggle and Overcoming...but in the last three months before my 65th Birthday--Computer Tech near caused me to go insane. The next three months, these months after Nov. 19, I want to do better, and in this Plant Your Dream Blog, I am building up the idea that our next house mate will be a student of nature as well as a helper to get some of my work out.

I Like Great Adventure Stories of Struggle and Overcoming...
My Life May Be One of Them!
I like great Adventure Stories of Struggle and Overcoming. My life may be one of them, but my most recent adventure of Man Vs. Computer has near gotten the best of me.
For near three months or more, I have been fighting against computer Demons, or something that seems like it wants to stop my forward progress.
I have gone so far as to say that we need a name for Computer Illness, these bouts that cause havoc with our senses and ability to follow our own thoughts.
I wonder how much research has been done on the side effects of computer usage.
I heard Sam Keen at Rancho La Puerta during my 65th Birthday week. We used the term sensory deprivation in regard to the endless hours some of us spend at the small computer screen. Granted, Computer screens have become larger as well as smaller.
I know have an iPhone and through a quirk of fate I can punch in the text letters with my garden fat fingers, then I have my iMac, with a responibly big screen, and for back up support a Macbook Pro for the road.
I was tempted during the Caravan, September 1-10, to the National Heirloom (Seed) Expo, September 11-12-13 in Santa Rosa to buy an iPad. I imagined that I could speed up my collection of signatures for the 7.5 Million + 2 Petition, but during those same months I felt like I was literally losing my mind. I keep misplacing things. I would drop or lose my Iphone constantly, even though I keep it in a pouch not too far from my gonads.
It was amazing how often I would find my iPhone, with the help of my highly evolved intuition, under a table or realize, or reaching down into my fannypack, becoming suddenly shocked to find that I had once again lost my Iphone.
To imagine that I could graduate to an iPad seemed like folly. I so myself investing $800.00 for the best machine and then loosing the Ipad. When push came to shove, I realized that I was going to have difficulty collecting those signatures one way or another. It was just too hard to convince the masses--7.5 Million + 2 that in order to win Prop 37 we had to Grow A Healthier Pizza. Most people just could not connect the dots. As Jeffrey M Smith said, when he signed--"I cannot see this Petition going Virtual!"
My Petition was just too complicated.
My position is that in order to grow the greatest Grassroots Movement in CA History, we would have to learn to grow literal grassroots. The grassroots I had in mind would be grown from Ancient Khorasan Unadulterated KAMUT ® brand wheat & Baker Heirloom Seeds.
To be an Heirloom Seed you have to be grown at least for fifty generations. BY their very nature, they are organically grown, as are many of the Baker Creek and KAMUT ® brand grains I gift or sell to prospective grassroots members.
What is the collection between Growing A Healthier Pizza and Regaining Confidence we can grow some of our own Food?
What is the collection between Growing A Healthier Pizza and Regaining Confidence we can grow some of our own Food? The Connection to me is obvious. We have done to ourselves for more than 100 years in the USA is dumb down. We have sold out our genes to Special Interests; We now have a food supply that is basically Fax Food. It is a mere suggestion of what we are intended to eat. I myself, waver, and will dip into a GMO laden pastry now and then, especially when I want to throw in the towel.
It does not matter what Jeffrey M. Smith says in Genetic Roulette. He says there are impending and possible dangers when we eat GMO foods. I, as most of us, are a gambler. We will take the risk of sensual food pleasure, even if the price means we will have to pay later in pain.
Back to My Adventure Story...
Dr. Bernard Jensen, one of the elders of the Natural Healing Arts was a Nature Boy, as was his colleague Edmond Bordeaux Szekely. They both loved nature although they both spend long hours inspired working through the night.
Dr. Bernard Jensen taught me that the three months before our birthday are our worst. The last three months, before November 19, I practically went insane.
Not only was I losing my iPhone, but I could not connect one thought to the next. Every time I took a step I was onto another thought. I never remembered what I was doing.
Here at the computer, I fall down the Rabbit's hole of more times than I stay on purpose. I sit down to write one thing, look at the screen where I left it last, and off I go onto another subject.
I think perhaps my general illness--computer sickness--is built into the technology itself. Some get carpel tunnel syndromes. I have the rabbit hole syndrome.
Gratefully, Dr. Bernard Jensen Also said, and Professor Szekely agreed, that our salvation lies not in machines or today Virtual Reality, but in Nature's Original Technology, the wonders of the seasons, the stars, the soil and the soul and how these all fit together when we plant heirloom seeds.
I want to do my part. I want in the next months to see if I can rent our vacant room to a would be student of nature, a student as Thoreau said in "Walden," a student of Life.
I am convinced that when I step into the garden in my front yard, when I hear a hummingbird calling and buzzing over my head, they are speaking to me.
That too, may be part of my insanity, but it is the part that I want to see others have a chance to discover.
The three months before our birthday may be our worse, but the next three, November, December, January, February I want to be my best. I want to lay a groundwork now, a new foundation for sanity, not only for myself, but for one student of life who finds there way here to the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community.
