Show Notes
Today's show is inspired by the Ayn Rand quote "We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality."
We (the larger collective of society, government etc) have been living in ignorance of reality for quite a while. Right now, a multitude of the consequences of this multi-generational ignorance are coming home to roost.
- Our financial system and the debt-backed fiat currency at its center is crumbling and headed for a crack-up reset.
- The broader, planet-wide ecology upon which we depend for everything that sustains our existence is fractured, diminished and producing a mere fraction of the abundance that it could.
- Our economy is run by oligarchs for oligarchs, and the gap between rich and poor has grown to ludicrous proportions.
- Our social well being is in shambles after 3 years of plandemic insanity, and mental unhealth has never been so widespread.
- The larger spiritual house of the nation is in disarray, and everywhere the evidence of hopelessness and purposelessness are evident.
And yet, despite the state of things, we have more opportunity before us than ever before to create beautiful, abundant, healthy lives. I posit that homesteading is one of the BEST ways to raise and develop whole human beings. An intentionally designed homestead and the lifestyle that goes with it has the three things that ALL people need in order to lead meaningful lives:
- Community - Living rooted in place and connected to the ecology that sustains us.
- We take care of things that take care of us
- Identity - Individual identity as belonging to that place and the people that call it home.
- This is healthy tribalism!
- Purpose - Individual AND shared group purpose of being needed by that place, its people and one's future descendants.
- A healthy sense of obligation to contribute to making the world better for those that will inherit it yet have no say in the decisions of today.
A sovereign homestead is so much more than a collection of things and organisms that puts food on your table or money in your pocket or a roof over your head. It can literally be the foundation for becoming the best version of you possible and - perhaps the greatest legacy we can hope to leave behind - raising whole, intact, fully-actualized children that know and own their own power.
