It has its advantages and its drawbacks. The main drawback for me is that it\u2019s difficult to always have cream on hand for my morning coffee. The main advantage is that I get ultra-healthy really fast without really trying. There\u2019s no junk food or TV in the Forest.<\/p>\n<p>I have nearly all of my superfood supplements with me. (Marine phytoplankton, pine pollen, hemp seeds, spirulina, chlorella, coriander seed oil, black cumin oil, krill oil, ubiquinol and moringa leaf powder. I have a good supply of kratom with me too, but that\u2019s a whole other topic.) Being highly concentrated nutrient-dense foods, my supply is very compact and convenient. As long as I take the tiny amounts of each required, I don\u2019t have to worry much what I\u2019ll be able to forage. But as I\u2019ve said many times in the Forest Reports, foraging in summer is ridiculously easy!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4507\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/In-The-Alfalfa.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4507\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4507\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/In-The-Alfalfa-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"In The Alfalfa\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/In-The-Alfalfa-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/In-The-Alfalfa-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4507\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In The Alfalfa<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The deer and I both really like the abundant alfalfa. I stick mainly to the blossoms, looking for the most brightly coloured ones, while the deer are more into the leaves. Alfalfa\u2019s deep root system makes them drought-resistant and rich in minerals.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been truly a bumper crop for all the indigenous berries: strawberry, gooseberry, saskatoonberry, raspberry, cranberry, bearberry, juniper berry (year round), and most recently, choke cherry. There\u2019s far too much to eat, even with a couple of bears in the area! (I\u2019ll try not to miss too much my handful of goji berries each morning from the bushes in my yard at home.)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4508\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rose-Hips.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4508\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4508\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rose-Hips-1024x888.jpg\" alt=\"Rose Hips\" width=\"500\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rose-Hips-1024x888.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rose-Hips-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4508\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rose Hips<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The rose hips too are promising a huge harvest. The big oblong ones are already becoming ripe in a few thickets by the river. They\u2019ll also last throughout the entire winter. Rose hips are known for their high vitamin C content in the form of a complete complex, far beyond mere ascorbic acid. I\u2019m very glad to have these in my diet right now as I continue on with magnesium repletion&#8211; via a topical spray. Magnesium has the special property of regulating calcium uptake and pulling excess calcium from the tissues where it can create nearly endless problems. One such place that calcium is being eliminated in my body is from the interior plaque in my arteries. Heart disease runs in my family, especially hardening of the arteries. As the calcified plaque is \u2018dissolved\u2019 by the magnesium, I want to make sure that I have plenty of vitamin C because plaque is deposited in the first place due to the inelasticity of&#8211; and subsequent damage to&#8211; arterial walls. Vitamin C is essential for supple, healthy arteries.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I will miss is my daily dose of distilled water. I\u2019ve been researching and experimenting with water for at least the last 20 years. What I\u2019ve found is that distilled water actually serves the body\u2019s needs the best. (Research: Andrew Norton Webber) I realize that there\u2019s plenty of fear-porn on the \u2018net about the supposed dangers of distilled water, but that\u2019s almost entirely bullshit. What finally convinced me&#8211; beyond the positive feedback from using distilled water myself&#8211; was when I just sat down and thought about what the animals in the Forest typically have available for their hydration needs. In the six months of winter out here, the only water source available is snow; snow is distilled water. In the warmer months, animals do NOT go to the river or a spring every time they need a drink&#8211; they very rarely do so. Instead, they rely on rain puddles and licking the morning dew off the leaves and grass (distilled water). If the high mineral content of Dutch Creek\u2019s glacial water causes my joints to stiffen up, I might be able to run my distiller from the power station I\u2019m currently working on. (See below.) We\u2019ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>We (the dog and I) have to employ summer procedures for the storage of food. In years past, I was living in the bush during the early months of winter, so the bears were in hibernation and posed no threat. For now I have to keep all my goodies tied up between two trees. (Black bears are expert tree climbers, so just roping it up a tree won\u2019t do.)<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ve made sure to locate the bathroom area well away from the living space. Strong smells&#8211; of any kind&#8211; will attract bear\u2019s curiosity. Although, I must say that so far the latrine smells more like a scrap-metal heap than anything else. My morning poos have been very metallic smelling. That\u2019s primarily from the action of the coriander seed oil that I take twice daily. Chlorella and spirulina also help with heavy metal chelation, drawing troublesome metals from the tissues and digestive tract, but it\u2019s the coriander which provides the real magic&#8230; getting the lead out, so to speak.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4509\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Running-Lines.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4509\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4509\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Running-Lines-1024x710.jpg\" alt=\"Running Lines\" width=\"500\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Running-Lines-1024x710.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Running-Lines-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Running Lines<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s ample evidence that we\u2019re all being inundated with a concoction of metal particulates being sprayed in our atmosphere.

The brief tale I\u2019m about to share is one I\u2019ve been sitting on for a couple of months. The story I told myself for those events some months ago seemed a bit farfetched, even for me. But even as the event was unfolding, my mind was already constructing the tale. If there was nothing of substance to it, I would have forgotten it by now. But on the contrary, it has been quietly nagging at me ever since.

What this means is that I am able to conceptually listen in to what\u2019s foremost on the collective mind at any given point in time. It is that skill in listening which primarily informs my writing. I am focused within the collective mind upon the awakening wave&#8211; that segment of humanity most oriented in progressive, creative, evolutionary mentation. It is then my task to explicate humanity\u2019s concerns and strategies in the waking conscious world; the question I try to answer is: What does the world need to hear next?&#8230; to keep this slow apocalypse moving along.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I dreamed in the darkness. I came to the dawn\u2019s light with nary an image burned in my brain&#8230; but conceptually, I was filled to the brim. I had learned some very key insights while my body slept&#8230; in the woods, beneath the stars&#8230; fully grounded&#8230; spiraling toward the centre&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In times past, I had always perceived the dream-space of the Earth collective as a cluster of caverns \u2018carved\u2019 from the dark \u2018substance\u2019 at the core of the Earth. The centre-most and largest of the caverns belonged to humanity. The other numerous caverns clustered around were occupied by each of the species biologically present on the planet. Every species having Earth DNA, as expressed throughout the physical planet, had its own sacred space within the Earth collective. My perception was that all species were fundamentally separate from each other at this level of consciousness, but fully unified in knowledge (instinct) among themselves.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, since the end of 2012, there is a deeper layer, or a subsuming cavern where all species are present together in one unifying consciousness. Once I finally accessed this singular dream-space of the Earth collective consciousness, I knew that it had only been the ingrained habits of my dreaming perception that had kept me from this place. I never went there because I didn\u2019t know I could. This time the Forest itself pushed me deeper into my dream&#8230; so that now I may ponder the implications of what was revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Every organism on Earth has been granted individuality. No one is beholden to instinct&#8211; the accumulated knowledge of one\u2019s species. Animals can choose to act outside of their programming, creatively&#8230; improvisationally. Plants too can make decisions as individuals, choosing their own timing, irrespective of what \u2018the seasons\u2019 might dictate.<\/p>\n<p>All individual organisms on Earth are given the choice to continue with the soul-knowledge of their species as their guide, following the traditional ways, or venturing outside the box and exploring novel evolutionary pathways&#8230; for which there is now ongoing support.<\/p>\n<p>There is a subtle consensus that eventually predation must be wholly overcome. How\u2019s that for a lofty goal?!<\/p>\n<p>Such a freedom to choose has led some among the raptors, particularly the eagles and the owls, to align themselves with astral (off-world) interests. These are choices of individuals and not a species-agreement. And I am cautioned that we mustn\u2019t assume that such \u2018defections\u2019 are not superficial sell-outs of Mother Earth. There is always a deeper meaning rising to the surface&#8230; like a buzzard on a thermal.<\/p>\n<p>I will remember to deal with all whom I meet as sovereign individuals first, and only secondarily as robotized slaves to their species-programming when their behaviour reveals them as such.<\/p>\n<p>Damn mosquitoes! *Slap!*<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s enough for now.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-4504-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ludvig-Sverker-Piano-version.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ludvig-Sverker-Piano-version.mp3\">http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ludvig-Sverker-Piano-version.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>(Ludvig &amp; Sverker by Beardfish from their 2012 album The Void)<br \/>\n_______________________________________<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/?p=4549\">Go To the Next Episode of Running Dialogue<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior Episodes of Running Dialogue: First Episode Second Thoughts Two nights ago this was the song playing in my head: (All You Zombies by The Hooters 1985) Third Times The Charm I\u2019ve lived out in the bush for extended periods (&hellip;)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/?p=4504\">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-running-dialogue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4504"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4595,"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4504\/revisions\/4595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
