As many of you may know, our family has been striving for independence from so-called 'corporations' for years now...
Work that we have done so far included getting out of the city, moving out to a rural area where we know where our water comes from, and raise as many animals/grow as much food as we can afford to. Each year we plant more. Each year we add more animals. We try and trade and barter, even give food away for free to build a strong community where we live.
Growing my own tobacco too.
Sign on our front door attempting to create a food co-op in our community.
NOTE: I refer to things such as "corporations", and "the state", the "government", "the crown" etc using So-Called before the word and quotations around the word, for the words themselves are lies. There is no such thing as the government, that is a lie, there is only the so-called "government" because what it is in actuality, is a group of human beings. If you would like more detailed reasoning about this please read: The Anatomy Of Slavespeak By Frederick Mann.
Perhaps the most important corporation to emancipate ourselves from is the so-called "Crown Corporation". This can also be referred to as the so-called "State".
This is the step in the journey that I am taking on now, with the support and wisdom of my Elder, White Walking Feather ( @wwf ). He has been a mentor to me for years and years. He is the lighthouse which has shown me the path to real freedom and peace. This man has successfully freed himself from almost all aspects of the grid. What is the grid?
Please take time to read this incredibly eye opening article by White Walking Feather: What Is The Grid?
The Journey I am embarking on now will dissolve my relationship with the so-called "Crown Corporation" in so-called "Canada".
This will take out a lot of my attachments to the grid including:
- Birth Certificate (will return)
- Marriage Certificate (will return)
- Banking (I don't have a bank anyways)
- Family Maintenance Enforcement Program (forgive debt to my ex)
- Credit Card (I don't have any)
- Mortgage (we rent)
- Loans (I don't have any)
- Driver's Licence (expired and I will return)
- Insurance (none)
- Registration (none)
- Health care (will return card)
- Employment Insurance (don't have)
- Income tax (haven't claimed for years)
- Child tax credit (haven't claimed for years)
- Pension (our self sufficiency will be our own pension)
As I look at this list it is comforting to see that I was already well on my way, with only a few remaining attachments to the so-called "Crown" to dissolve. I am ready for the path of self-governance and peace.
So How Do I Begin? With Knowledge.
I read White Walking Feather's book "Graduating Life With Honours" a couple years back, yet I read it as a reader. This time I am reading his book as a student. Taking notes, and taking it slow. Meditating on each few pages before moving forward. And I will be sharing my journey here, with all of you.
If you would like to download the book, it is available for free, yet donations are welcome as White Walking Feather supports his whole Clan with no standard sources of income. DOWNLOAD "GRADUATING LIFE WITH HONOURS - CONSCIOUS SELF-GOVERNANCE IN GOD'S KINGDOM
Introduction
The first thing I must realize, I must know, is who I am. Who am I?
-The Body: Physical Realm
-The Person: Fictional Realm
The first step is to know, to fully and 100% understand, that I AM Spirit. This is huge. I AM Spirit having a human experience. If I am to stand in my own power, it can only be with this fundamental knowledge.
The next step is to understand my relationship with the 3 realms, the fictional realm, the physical realm and the Spiritual realm.
This part of my journey is what may end up taking the longest as now I have some major reading and studying to do. I want to get a legalese dictionary, an Oxford Unabridged dictionary (1958), a bible (King James Version) and familiarize myself with the Canadian Interpretations Act.
Thank you for reading Part 1 of my path to true freedom!
Absolutely love both this post and ethos @lyndsaybowes I 100% agree with everything you've said here and I'm trying to make many similar changes myself! Now is the time to reclaim the collective power so many of us have spent our entire lives giving away. Power that can be used to empower our mind, body and soul. I'm currently writing a post explaining our need to reclaim control over our lives so reading this is a perfect moment of synchronicity for me! This is a text book example of the changes we all need to make. Even if people live in the city they can join some kind of food collective and build a community that way. We need to stop standing in line waiting to be fed because one day the cupboards will be bare! Such valuable information my friend, thanks for sharing!!
Wow...you said it so well! Your excitement just has me smiling so HUGE! :) :) :) I'm glad this came at a perfect time for you and I really look forward to reading what you have to write about reclaiming our lives <3 <3 <3 <3
Amazing! Love it. What is the grid was good too, glad you shared. I'm resteeming. Looking forward to see the things you attach to this. Keep up the good work.
As a whole it was great but what amazed me you touched on was this..
"The first step is to know, to fully and 100% understand, that I AM Spirit. This is huge. I AM Spirit having a human experience. If I am to stand in my own power, it can only be with this fundamental knowledge."
When this happened to me or I started accepting, understanding, or conceptualizing I started having informative dreams. Wonder if that happens to others. Really in depth too sometimes. I didn't understand the significance till I was telling a friend. He mentioned how he thought my dreams were rare. So I started telling him all that came up like that. He never experienced anything like that for himself. One was so crazy I will never forget it. Although I have had many like that now. Could share an example if anyone was interested.
Anyways nice work. I feel its really inspirational stuff.
I would LOVE to hear more about these dreams, yes please!
What a fantastic post Lyndsay.
You and your family are a true inspiration. I hope at some point that myself and Mrs Percy can gain the kind of independence you guys are striving for. While we get and want nothing from the state we are still dependant upon the corporations for utilities. You guys should be proud of yourselves.
We're in this together that's for sure, there are many many ways we still need to unplug, utilities, yep! A big one. Cannot wait to have some wind and solar power one day on our dream land...
Like others who commented, I am inspired by this post.
I don't want to be dependent on any one person, agency, government or the like.
I am taking baby steps do accomplish this, as I'm sure lindsay did.
You got it @GoldenDawn, it's all about the baby steps, and I sure am still taking mine :) Baby steps for the WIN!
I admire your determination to live a free and spiritual life. No doubt some people will think it impossible, not true! You're already well on your way. 🐓🐓
Thank you so much for believing in me Mother2Chicks <3
@lyndsaybowes, I AM moved to tears to see this post. The courage to take this journey is more than most people have and to be a witness to your commitment to freedom is moving. To share this information in such a powerful way is amazing to witness. You are in a class all your own my dear sister. I look forward to being a witness to your journey. May Creator protect you throughout your path and may you be blessed with peace, freedom, prosperity, joy and love! <3 I love you deeply.
Well I'm moved to tears that you told me you were moved to tears! I would say that you gave me a really good grade White Walking Feather, and I'm relieved that I have properly digested the information, for this first step. Thank you for letting me know :) :) And thank you for being such a good teacher! :) :) :)
Amazing. So much love and respect to both of you @wwf and @lyndsaybowes. Pleased to be on this good journey with you. Big breath!!!
Thank you Jill :) <3 <3 :) And it's sooooooooooo good to see you here!!!!
I want to say first @lyndsaybowes I am thankful I followed you on Steemit. You help me keep a certain balance with all of this. And will be finding and following White Walking Feather @wwf after this reply.
We live in a precarious time and the more people that learn to do for themselves will take a great deal of pressure off the situation. Many I've known and worried about over the years are now learning to grow their own food, share and barter. We each have enough to do to take care of ourselves without worrying that others are still in the dark and totally dependent on a "broken" system and what is even worse a system of manipulation that feeds on the ills of others.
I find a certain calm here on Steemit that can provide some common sense approaches for much of the discourse being expressed by the masses. I hope they learn fast that there are better ways to enjoy life and be InJoy!
So well said Vickie. I'm thankful to know you too! You are being the change you wish to see in the world.
Thanks for sharing! Both of you, in fact -- I'm following you both, but my feed is like a fire hose, so I didn't see the initial post so thanks to @wwf for resteeming!
I'm taking baby steps myself, in the states. My first step is to use form 4852 to refute my employers' statements that they paid me "legislative income/wages" -- from reading Pete Hendrickson's book "Cracking the Code" (and blog at http://losthorizons.com ), this appears to be the way to do it correctly.
Renewed my firearms "permit" recently and really wanted to draw a line over that, but, I feel I need to study a lot more before taunting those with guns...
That's great, I'm so glad to hear you are on your way to real freedom as well @libertyteeth! :) :) :) I am now following you so I can stay abreast with your journey.
Great article. I'm following this kind of "stuff" since I know myself. There are a lot of strategies people apply when it comes to government and other fictional non existing entites that exist only in our heads. That will be one of my next articles. Strategy I like the most is ignoring the system because if you respond on letters from government (for example), with your response you accept that entity exist.
Slavery system is coming to the end. In part of planet called Croatia even the main stream newspapers started to make articles about people who are exposing this kind of information.
(I followed you because of your husband rant in car on way home from work)...many working people feel like him. There is many resons for that. One of them is completely wrong concept of big cities where no one is producing any food and everything must be done for them. In my opinion small communites are the best solution. There can be bigger cities, but they have to be as part of nature and not blocks of concrete.
Thanks for your input @cmoljoe, I'll follow you to be sure I catch your next article.
I missed this post somehow. Would of resteemed it. Will resteem part two after I read it.
Way to go @lyndsaybowes!
Very cool to see the process and will take notes of my own.
Great Venomnymous! I'm so happy to be able to help!
I think your food initiative is fantastic. How do u cash out your Steem without a bank account though? I'm amazed you don't get child tax benefit and would like to know your reasons behind this? Also with no health card what happens if you get ill? I'm sure you'd seek medical treatment and it'd still be granted just wanted to hear about that..so many questions haha Thanks Lyndsay
My husband will be remaining in the system to be able to protect our kids, and to one day secure us some land. Once the kids have grown up a bit more and we attain some land to steward we will then work on freeing him and the land.
For the medical issue, there's another thing I'll have to do a lot of learning on how to heal myself. If there is a serious injury then I have two choices, I can pay full price to get the healing, or I can die a good death.
Also, a side note: check out reiki. I do it, and have had people feel it when I'm doing it for them long distance so you can't say "they were imagining it like a placebo." I had one guy tell me he had to pull over because he was driving when I sent it (we had made an arrangement on a barter site but not set a specific time). I saw a news program YEARS before I started where they were kinda trying to debunk it, but they had a guy light paper on fire with it under the watchful eye of a heat signature camera. Can't fake that...
My hands get warm when I do it, so sometimes I do it to keep warm in winter. I once did a public Imbolc ritual barefoot outside (so, February in Colorado) and the rest of the group commented on it. I ran reiki so I didn't freeze. 😁
And yeah, lighting a fire with it is a goal of mine! 😁
Thank you PhoenixWren <3 I appreciate you helping me with solutions <3
Omgosh I hope not. They wouldn't charge you tho I don't think but I wish you and your fam a long healthy life 😊
I appreciate your caring and kindness. What this really comes down to is taking responsibility for my own well being. That means to eat healthy foods. To get exercise. To drink pure water. To breathe fresh air. To not take unnecessary risks with my body. To learn how to heal my own mind/body/soul. It's actually a really freeing feeling, and I'm rather excited :) :)
And as far as the child tax situation goes, when we first moved to NS after about a couple months of living here they stopped the payment until we filled out some forms to let them know when we moved to NS etc. Well...my husband and I are really shitty at filling out forms and doing shit like making phone calls hahahaa, we lost the forms and never tried to call them to send it to us again, it's been 3 years now...I know...I know...with 3 kids that's a lot of money.
The way I see it now though, is that the "Universe" / Creator/Great Spirit, what you want to call it, has always been gently nudging me into this decision to cut my ties and stop taking any 'perks' from the systems I so despise.
The "how do you cash out steem" would be my question too. I presume Brendan still has an account at this point? You could have a credit union account which is better than a bank but still works for changing crypto to fiat?
Yes, you got it @phoenixwren. Brendan will be staying in the systems for now. He's gotta work, drive, bank, and until we can buy some land and become self sufficient he's gonna have to keep on working and towing the godforsaken line. :(
Is that crypto charge card available in Canada? It's not in the US. But it might work to be able to use crypto for things you need without a traditional bank.
Your tobacco is gorgeous!!
Thank you beautiful Karen <3 <3 <3
Looking forward to following your journey. I'm in search of inspiration from other people as I've reached a point when I'm quite fed up of having to justify the choices I make for me and my children.
We are in this together. I applaud your bravery @ladyrebecca.
@lyndsaybowes, you never ceases to amaze me. I ❤️ you tons!
Thank you for sharing in this Journey, I love you tonnes too Karen!! xoxoxooxox :) :) *Squeeze!!
I absolutely love this. So inspiring and so glad I get to watch as you walk along the path.
Very cool how detached from the "so called state" you actually are already. I hope to get to a point someday where I can start detaching from the state as well.
Thank you for taking the journey and documenting it as well. It's highly valued.
I know you will be able to too @raised2b. Freedom is our natural state. And I know we share a very favourite book...FOF is so inspiring...
<3 <3 <3 much appreciate to you and White Walking Feather ( he is a real teacher of life) , this is really great, he created those pictures of grids so great, connections and balance between life and those parts. I feel like a man in a cage when I see you guys life, I wish I could do it like you. it's a hard work to do.
Thank you Davood! <3 <3 <3 I know you will really enjoy following @wwf's blog! And remember you can do anything you put your mind to, it's all just taking the little steps. One tiny step at a time :)
Wow I love this post. I am looking into the same but from a different path. It is amazing to find steemit and then find the people who believe there is a different path. The great unveiling begins. Thank you for posting.
That's so awesome to hear @crowd4good! :) I wish you / us all the success in the world :) :) :)
You are an inspiration! Your example is one to be admired and a building block for others to follow. Paving the way to self sufficiency is a process that takes time and work. I love your door sign encouraging other to begin a new way of life away from government strongholds.
Thank you so much for the big thumb's up @watchfulmomma!
Wow! so cool! thanks for sharing this Lyndsay.
wwf has a new follower right now! :)
Weeks ago I watched a documentary called The Minimalist, maybe you'll like it (they has this youtube channel).
Have a great day! :)
Thank you, I know you will gain a lot of ideas and wisdom by reading what White Walking Feather has to write :) :)
I have not watched that documentary, I appreciate that you shared it with me, I'll check it out, sounds right up my alley :)
You go spiritual being who lets us identify as @lindsaybowes!
There is no spoon.
@lyndsaybowes I don't, at this point, have too much to add to the conversation, but I totally support what you're doing and will be hoping for the best!
So glad you have a de-centralized... okay... mostly de-centralized... voice through Steemit XD
But don't you dare tamper with that logo lolz
HAhahaa so does that mean that you posted it?
No, although the lulz would be nice XD
This is a courageous move. You're clearly doing it step by step, mindfully, and with the best interests of yourself and your family at heart. I can't wait to see where this journey takes you.
I'd be nervous letting go of those key documents. What if, heaven forbid, something happened to Brendan and you needed to drive? And what if you wanted to travel internationally, and needed the birth and marriage certificates to apply for a passport?
Forgive me, I'm a worrier. And also curious.
:) Does a piece of plastic give me the ability to drive? I will still drive when I need to. Yes, getting 'caught' will involve going to court. That's a situation I will be prepared for when the day comes.
As for not leaving the so-called 'country', that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. You're all gonna have to visit me instead <3 :)
Fair enough!
We could also go to quite a few places in a sailboat I believe...I still have to research all of that.
Yes - do the sailboat thing!
My original comment to you got too long, so I posted it here.
A 40' boat would be perfect for you guys, though some families your size have gotten by with less. Go a little bigger and you could fit a chicken coop on the stern.
I love your solutions type thinking Winston, thank you so much kind Ser <3 <3 <3 <3
You are my idol lion tamer.
And yes, a bit part of my journey was to learn that I am a spirit having a human experience (damn that is hard to remember). Overcoming the stuff that we deal with on a daily basis, rising above it, and realizing it isnt real is crucial. Easy to say, but hard to do.
I believe that cryptocurrencies will offer the pathway to freedom for billions. It is time to break the enslavement of mankind. We now have the opportunity to create millions of dollars per person simply by living our lives and doing what we do.
I look forward to reading more about what you are into.
@lyndsaybowes This post is compelling me to think. It's so inspiring. Your determination is too strong. What a excellent post!
100% agree with you and we should all need to know that who we really are? Thousands of people become confused that what they really are? What they are? I am also think sometimes about myself.
I think this is a question to me also. This is totally a amazing post. I have no words to this post, so inspiring, so effective.
Thank you so much for reading, and for "innerstanding' @coolbuddy! I appreciate you!
Thank you dear and A great thanks for sharing this wonderful post.
Good on ya mate, you are living the life most dream of!
Thank you for the support, hugs @ram.bozo!
No problem. Hopefully one day I can hit you up for some tips!
Since we're both part of crown colonies I believe the work would translate over well!
Yes. The tax will be high though!
@lyndsaybowes Steemit is gonna change lots of lifes, it has changed mine and many others but that is just the beginning. Followed
