Being REALLY off-grid

My website’s security registration has gone rogue because GoDaddy cannot confirm my phone number. Yes, that is the big ole nefarious reason. Keep your children safe! To satisfy GoDaddy, they require I have a statement notarized that my phone number is my phone number. Clutch your innocent children now!

To do that I need to find a notary in my area or at least one that actually works. Earlier this week, I did several online searches for notaries – a few came up with not a contact detail in the bunch. Also, I waited a very long time in line at the post office of the next town – 16 miles away – because Google said they had a notary. They didn’t. After several tries and about an hour of searching and waiting, I put the task off for another day. In the meantime, GoDaddy has put up a security flag on my site that says it contains dangerous URLs.

All because they want my phone number. And they insist it be notarized.

Here on the Mesa, I cannot use my laptop every day. We only have one freestanding solar generator for power, plus our RV’s solar setup, which is very helpful, but weaker. If there is a spate of rainy days, which there was the week before last, I literally cannot turn on my laptop until the sun has been back out for a couple days.

My laptop is old and only powers on electricity, not battery. On a rainy day, much less a group of them, electricity progressively powers down here, then disappears altogether. So the laptop is out. It’s rather depressing.

Today it is sunny and relatively early in the day. These are the two components for more generous electricity creation and, in turn, usage. We don’t make hay while the sun shines, but we do just about everything else. By 3pm, even on a sunny day, we must start turning things off to conserve what power we have for overnight. It’s almost 1pm now, I’ve got a couple hours, though I’ve also got a thousand things to do, all of which are basic, boring life tasks.

This is a set-up. The way I’m living and the way you’re living. It might seem so cool and unfettered to live “off-grid’ the way my husband and I do, but we are tied so heavily to survival chores, there is nothing cool or unfettered about it. At least about that part, but “that” is a huge part of life.

(Note of gratitude: What IS unfettered is the land itself. After it rains, the smell of sage infuses the air. You walk on the paths and it’s like walking in a sage bath. The quiet. It is so quiet here you can hear the sound a bird’s body makes when it motors its wings. Even with your eyes closed, you know what part of flight it is in. THAT part is unfettered, but the rest of it is like living in a labor camp.)

Well, that’s the way it is, you might say to yourself. Life, chores, living off-grid. Is it? Is it really? I say, “No,” it is most definitely not the way it is. Not in the existential sense, which is what we mean when we say “that’s how it is.” It is not the way things were meant to be here on planet Earth. But yes, it is the way they were manipulated into existing, so in that sense it is the way things are…..for now.

I will dig into this more in a future post, but energy on Earth is actually infinite and free. “Actually” as in it is a physical fact about the structure of our Earth and the field that surrounds it. And not free like the sun or the wind, because I’m here to tell you, ain’t nothing free or infinite about solar or wind energy. They are the consolation prizes of the existing system of control – which extends to energy, healthcare, communication, travel…you name it…pretty much everything.

Modern wind turbines are ugly. They light up at night and light-pollute the horizon for miles. We used to see the ones in Wyoming from our balcony in northern Colorado. They completely took over the view of the northern horizon and constantly flashed unpleasant artificial red lights. We were not interested in seeing flashing red lights as our view of the beautiful north.

You’re probably thinking, well it’s better than oil! It’s better than coal!…nuclear! All a setup, my friend. ALL of those are unnecessary. Check out the work of Nicola Tesla. We should have had zero point energy in every area of our lives over 100 years ago. But we don’t. And that is by careful design. Think about it: who benefits (profits) by the current systems we have?

Zero point would mean no more being a slave to energy. No more solar and wind as the heroes they aren’t. Zero Point energy works with the toroid and is free and infinite. It FREES the human, it doesn’t bind us further, like living at the whim of a solar generator and the sun and the rain (which get manipulated too). Or all the other myriad ways we are bound by the control and seizure of energy on our planet, which is also unequivocally destroying the entire biosphere of this once-gorgeous planet.
And yet we don’t have zero point energy boxes in our homes. We don’t have med beds – another FREEING technology- in any city, town or village. And that’s no accident. No accident at all.
