Our dualism is out of whack.  If you recognize the cyclic nature of things then you see this is a determined thing.  Just watch how science is expanding despite the governing force of diminishing returns which reality controls.  Reality is telling us something is wrong. 

On the other hand, or connection to the spirit or like I refer to it as “the Sacred” is in decline.  Spirit is not in decline but man’s awareness of spirit is.  We are lost pretending like we know more than ever before.

I partly include religion with science because religion attempts to control man’s understanding of spirit.  This is the dogma and theological studies the religious elite claim to posses.  The other part of religion is community and this is rightly a spiritual attribute.  This is people being a people.

I am a Christian shaman.  There is nothing special about this.  For me this is much like the Osage Tribe and their merger of their culture with Christianity.  They merged the two into what I like to think is what is needed in the future.  I don’t think the Osage realize this but they should because our future needs this merger.

I am also a Taoist but this is more for enjoyment.  You know knowing the Tao is not knowing it and all.  There is lots of connectivity with Taoism and Native American culture.  You may think the precontact Native Americans were savage and primitive but I would say look around and tell me are we not the real savages. 

We have destroyed one of the most productive ecosystems in regard to wealth generation.  Here I mean wealth in regards to habitat and generation of valuable biomass that benefits all life with the most energy absorbed from the sun where waste streams are nutrient streams, circular not linear.

Our science has taken us to amazing places but did we need to go to these places?  Are we better off now?  Maybe in an individual sense some of us are in the narrow metrics of health and welfare.  Comforts from affluence are a wonderful thing there is no doubt but somehow, I feel the trade-offs are a loss of real value for a world of comforts and affluence.  We are more alone than ever with all our toys.  Sloth has replaced courage.

Science will destroy itself this is clear.  This is especially true today now that secularist have elevated science though ideology to what is called Scientism.  The religious elites are now secularist.  This is just deception.  The clever will be deceived is an old Taoist adage if I remember correctly.  Now “the science” is what the elites say it is much like religion did a few hundred years ago.  Apparently, we have learned nothing from our science after transforming this planet into a waste disposal racket.

In REAL Green I preach about green prepping.  What is green is more prepped.  You want to get pepped because science is a ticking timebomb and the elites who control science are the real savages.  REAL Green also preaches acceptance of this process because it is determined by the cyclic.

We are now like a pendulum at its highest point where it is temporarily motionless.  A swing back to spirit is coming.  At least that is what I am experiencing as a Christian shaman.  A spiritual world awaits us.  What this means is a world of less science but more connection to the ground under our feet.

REAL Green preaches to use this world to leave it.   Beat the rush by getting started now before it is too late.  Realistically and relatively leave this world of Scientism and corruption to a world of more spirit and less corruption.  This is a world of increasing wisdom which is how man must approach the spirit world.

Wisdom is basically the wisdom of knowing what knowledge to keep and what to reject.  This sounds simple enough in theory but is very difficult in practice.  This is because we are now in a world of Scientism with a scientific lifestyle that is in constant change.  Currently the change has tipped over into declining value because of the diminishing returns of this change.  New things are destroying old things that have more benefit.

The spirt world I speak of can’t be defined it can only be experienced.  If you have had an authentic spiritual experience then you know what I am talking about.  You don’t make it happen although you can open yourself up to it.  You also need the right DNA because some people just don’t have the receptors for it.  This is different than faith although once you have gone the mystic journey faith results.

I might add a spiritual experience is not necessarily something glorious.  It is also dark and scary.  The best ones are a combination of the two.  I say this because the glory of it is reinforced by the terror of it.  I am speaking of an individual which is different than what civilization experiences. Yet, the process of glory and terror is still present in the macro.

I am 60 now.  Maybe this world will more or less be similar to what I have now by the time I die if I make it to my 80s.  I feel my kids will be in a different world if they make it to 60.  So, being a Christian shaman I am speaking of spiritual things for the kids in the room.  This will be your world soon.  I often say our mortal lives are so short we are already dead.

The primary message of REAL Green is be an eddy to an eddy.  I canoed many a river in my youth.  I always loved seeing an eddy spin out of the current.  An eddy to an eddy is my thinking these days.  Our current global civilization dominated by the affluence of science is an eddy to the life force.  In the situation of diminishing returns our way of life is destructive now not productive.  We are a natural force of succession so in this respect we are just following life’s way.

Being an eddy to the eddy is surreal because it means living a duality.  Our civilization is going against the current of life.  There is no way to leave this civilization.  It is global and nobody can survive on their own for the most part.  Even my permaculture homestead is just a few months from failure if civilization fails.  All these years of learning and changing with green prepping and all I get from it is a few months, maybe. 

Yet, what I did gain is a journey of wisdom and there is no price that can be put on this.  I am an eddy to civilization’s eddy and by doing so I am spinning back into the current of life albeit within a civilization I am trapped in. 

So, the most important aspect of REAL Green is using this world of Amazon and fast cars to leave it.  You can best do this with a rural permaculture homestead in my opinion.  The cities and most towns are so corrupted as to be wastelands for the spiritual.

Wisdom is the only tool for approaching the sacred.  In today’s world this is the wisdom of less.  Less science and its comforts.  Do this relatively and realistically to the current of your community and family.  Community and family is the “Body of Christ” and the Kingdom of Heaven is being nearer the Sacred by embracing family and community. 

Reject Scientism’s heaven which is the merger of man and machine in their idea of immortally described as the “singularity”.  Reject the anti-family policies being pushed today by the globalists which is just a Marxist power grab.  The singularity is blasphemy.  Marxism is the depth of man’s depravity of the isolated ego.  Everyone has a bitch in this world of identity politics.  This is Hell.

Wisdom is in our DNA and can’t be reduced.  We are moral and practice science.   Technology and knowledge are part of our nature and wisdom is the gatekeeper.  Have less science through triage which means less affluence and comforts.  Embrace the old ways before we had too much knowledge and technology.  Fortify the old ways with some of the best aspects of the new world in a salvage. 

This REAL Green hybridization will be what is needed for the journey ahead.  The result is a lifeboat that is a refuge from the deadly serious condition of Scientism’s collective self-consciousness of an isolated ego unaware of the Sacred.  Practice palliative care for your community and family because few can comprehend this simpler way.

Strap in because 2024 feels like a year of profound change.
