Restorative Farming

Restorative Concepts

The Earth is not for sale

For these reasons we actually do have to have a very high degree of integrity and we do have much to consider in the selection of the people we might want to have with us here in Eden.

One of the main sources of jobs working outdoors with the plants animals and good friends will be the community owned and run Community Farm. That will be our main industry. It will be about 300 acres in all different varieties of Raspberries that ripen at different times of the year.

That will create a lot of jobs within our own Micro Economy. But so will some of the 70 farmsites around the perimeter of the valley with all the things different people are growing as well as The Vegan Village.

The Wild Half

That is actually going to create the sense of a very healthy kind of controlled chaos and a balanced micro economy. We can't depend entirely on the one or the other. But together we have workable system that works by the exchange of nutrients and energies that just keep going around and around.

This is not about making money for its own sake. And yet we do work with that element too because we are a very pragmatic people. Everybody who works for Eden eventually gets paid.

We do like to know where our food is coming from anyway even if we are up to our neck in more raspberries than anyone can eat.

The land can eat it all, leaves, berries, canes, roots and everything. Same with everything else. Too much food is not a problem. That all goes back to the Earth. The same thing should be true about dead people. Where should they go? Back to the Earth. That is why we will have our own green burial grounds.

Too many people who cannot provide for themselves in the concrete jungle is a very big problem that we must take great measures to avoid. That's why we have to be careful how we set this up.

What Kind of People

People with a vision really can make things happen when enough care has been taken to restrain the excess proliferation of the anti-revolutionaries who are always trying to stop our work of constant integration.

Peoples Expectations

We are all workers

We all should know better than to disregard what it is that we are entering into here. We are not trying to change the world all in one fell swoop. We are just going to try to work ourselves back into that naturally balanced environment a little bit more completely that we came popping out of not so very long ago.

Everything will of course begin to happen to make that exquisitely possible and even quite enjoyable for everyone. Things open up when you approach them in the right way. That is just a part of the Magic of Eden. And that is the Way of Eden. With Great Respect we will enter into Eden for the land and all that lives there.

We will enter with great care and listening to the others first long before we would expect to be heard. What we are doing here goes way beyond the usual expectations of the busy modern world where there really is no respect for land or community not to mention enough long term vision to get us across the bridge to the distant shores of our Childrens Land.

We won't Sell Out

Bring us a real contribution. Too much of nothing can become a cancerous growth that we don't really need proliferating in our midst and that could suck us dry as a bone. We are actually still waist deep in the promotional stages and the community building process begins right here and now. This is the Way to Eden. Don't get lost.

The ConTrib Pledges

This really could be seen as one of the best ways to put your money to good use. You will be pledging whatever the amount is when you join in. Right now all we are asking people to consider doing is to begin to prepare to be able to put up the standard $6,000 down and then your payments will only be something like $380 a month. Seniors get in for even less.

Seniors essentially get 20 percent off each and every level so if you are old enough you can pick your level of support. We do want to see a sizeable contribution towards the work of this project now just to let us know you are really more than just wandering around in a daze here but it does take 3 to 5 years to gain any recognition whatsoever in any tribe of native peoples or any community that may consider taking you in so please do come prepared to earn the recognition and the loving respect that you need.

Road Support

What is the Next Step?

What can you do now?

$1,500. puts you on the Stewards Council and it saves you a big fat place in line for one of the Eden Homesteads. That will support the beginnings of our work here as change makers.

That will go towards your Pledge when the time comes to resume setting up the flow for the rest of it. And that will help us all to begin to build up some kind of a Land Fund now that will be there for the needs of a growing EcoVillage Community.

I think we should all learn to invest in the emerging projects and in the peoples efforts to do great things for the Earth, instead of focusing on the peoples needs for more resources that will just go to support more overpopulation, and the need for more money will just keep spiralling out of control.

Cooperative interaction is a very good thing. Bringing the resources back home. We should not export globalization. Information is not the answer.

Other alternative individuals and groups are strongly urged to reach out to us so that we may learn from each other. Do not impose any of these store bought beliefs upon the Eden Project.

In our isolation we might waste too much of our precious time reinventing the past. The questions we have already closed our minds to may already have been answered in the future. That is why we need to start putting good people out there in the future now, so they will be there when we need them need to be there.

Let us pull our heads out of the sands of self defense, and start making new connections, fanning out, finding our strength in selective inclusivity with a marital twist, only here you are married up to the whole community.

Eden is just the most prominent spear head of a deeply emerging and highly diverse movement that embraces the most extra-ordinary people on the planet, who, like T, are disengaging from the status quo which would only want to hold us down like they have been held down where we would be sucked in to their narrow minded judgementalism which is a dead end for life.

Let us begin to pull together for mutual aid and support and begin to plant the seeds of The Emerald Forest. Together, based in the emerging knowledge of the natural world, we will create the beginnings of a new ecologically based viewpoint on all things in such a manner that will not disrupt any of the existing life support structures.

Then we can proceed with the environmental healing of the Earth and her peoples who most definitely do not need any money. No part of the ecosystem is ever in need of money, as that is only a man made construct.

The reason they teach us that we need money is to keep us all trapped on the treadmill. And because we think we need money we think "they" all must need money too, when that is still not at all the case.

Should we get them all started on money now? That would probably not be of any good service to the Earth, as that money addiction, such as it is already now, is just exactly what is killing the Earth.

To increase that kind of dependency would only bring about our swift demise. We may even tend to think that anybody who doesn't have money must need money, but money is not a biological imperative. That is why we do not participate in the shopping frenzies of a dying planet.

We do watch it all in horror and we do share it with our other friends in the Emerald Forest, but we do not welcome those who still buy into it. That is why self centric money based concerns will not be welcomed in Eden.

Eco-Logical thinking is a whole new concept that was first discovered by T and a whole lot of other people late one night.

We will be taking our proper places within the Earth, as Edenites, and becoming indispensable parts of a greater whole, as represented by T to begin with, and then others will begin to emerge who will be able to join in with that Oneness and Wholeness of Spirit that T represents. Then Eden will begin to Emerge.

We will be becoming self sustainable stewards of the planet Earth which has become our little home away from home. But because of the fragile nature of the planet we have selected, let us all come in peace, and to bring no harsh words to this group.

We meet 4 times a year. All true members will be expected to be there. Everything is done with the spirit of kind contribution. Bring something to share. First, as soon as everyone has arrived, there will be a circle go round.

You may step forth at that time and share with the others something about who you really are, and how you think you might relate to the project at hand.

Then you can just sit back and enjoy the proceedings without needing to be wondering when you are going to get a chance to talk. Eden is a whole new thing. Everything works through the voluntary exchange of resources and nutrients in an ecological manner of growth and with some willingness to accept some guidance and direction.

We support both Life and Death. Acceptance of diversity and Oneness of Spirit is important to understand and that means not having a beef with T or anything.

As a result, there is not going to be any real opportunity for the usual kinds of social theft and the getting away with murder all the time that most people have become so accustomed to relying upon, and that includes the flaming blame game and the compounding numbers of blunders among those who may have no place in Eden but to look, listen and to learn, until the time to speak has come.

This is what we mean by Truth Talk. This can all be learned by others, even though it may seem like a whole new language.

We do intend to support your growth and further involvement unless it becomes clear that that will not be a worthy use of our time and energies.

The kind of talk most people are used to using is a whole different thing and that is the kind of abuse of truth that we are disengaging from. We do need someone, who is preferably a female for gender balance, to bring a laptop, who will take notes of all 4 meetings for one year. Then you will be able to  become a moderator, and someone else can take over as note taker.

That there may be a natural order of priorities here that has been carelessly overlooked. We are all related but only in a very specific manner. It could even be that we do not even own our own bodies, and the repo man is always on the run.

How could you possibly own your own body unless you had built it your self? Now if you don't even own your own body, then what then do you actually own in regards to Eden? How about the Golden Gate Bridge? Very little comes up at this point among those who look straight into the Truth.

Is this a workable situation? Can we live with this new thing called Truth? The Good News is that, Yes, it all works just fine without any need for comprehension up to a certain point indeed, just like the world of mathematica. That is how everything has always worked.

It is only our own store bought beliefs that do not work. No Blame. We just had it all wrong as a very primitive people who just didn't know any better and couldn't get it together until this point in time which is just before the beginning of the end is over with.

There is still much work to be done. And that may be why we have been given the grace of T. But Eden is here to change all that. No more dependency upon the grace of T. And it might even be expected that the land would be delivered when this group is ready to receive it in full accordance with what they have earned and really do deserve to believe. That much is Guaranteed.

People do need to be able to show the right kinds of spirit which is what we should be looking for. Thank you all for that permission that has been granted in your name, for me to speak up about some of these things.

The natural orders and progressions which have been known to all native peoples have been obfuscated and twisted around.

That is why we are on the decline ecologically speaking and on many other levels for good reason. We have to start thinking about what is good for the stability of the whole community which in turn must in some way begin to serve the needs of the whole Web of Life again the way it used to be without losing all the benefits of all this so called "high" technology.

That is the True Vision of Eden.

It is not for us to follow the experts any longer, since they have led us wrong. Most people are still promoting their own collective personal agendas that comes from self interest and those of the status quo which have largely been generated by the advertising industry.

Notice how the experts at the big news media always feeds us all right into neediness and fear and dependency. The more fragmented we have become to the point of anonymous isolation, the more dependent we will be upon them to tell us who to go to and what to believe. 

It is time now to put Truth First and to start thinking from the whole community perspective and to forget the imaginary sense of self importance that is part of the choice centric world view which will always try to drag anything down to where they can get a hold of it and rip it off the Tree just for the momentary sense of premature emancipation from the full pressure of Truth Embeddedness which is what you will find in Eden.

That is why it must be very difficult to get a grip on Eden so these invasive intruders cannot twist and tear this growing tip of the Tree of Life into little bits and pieces just to suit their own needs of personal self importance. Not that we need these people to change. They can take their time.

Eden works with the way people are right now. That is the amazing thing. Compare the real possibilities for your own true self. Change can happen later when the time has come for that.

This way we are just asking people to become real benefactors, even though we will all be the first ones to benefit from our own generosity because we are going to have the best chance of long term survival as the lowest of the low and the humble Benefactors of the Earth must always get their own houses in order first before they can welcome good folks into their homes.

Then when we are finally allowed to die and return back to the Earth, or even leave this planet in honor and grace or continue on with this important work elsewhere in the universe, it is always going to be well understood that your well cared for homestead is going to be left to the people of this community one way or another as just another one of your many generous contributions towards the good work people are doing in Eden and for the Earth which needs our kind support at this time of the year.

All other expectations may need to be dropped. So please do make a generous contribution of maybe Thirty Five dollars or more just to support the cause and in recognition of the work you have seen completed so far and your own assessment of that work. And we do need that from every member of this group just to keep this fine vision of hope and help alive.

I will see you all in the meeting in January. In return for all that we will gladly send each of you our brand new DVD which is the Kindred Spirits of the Emerald Forest DVD along with a copy of the Eden Journal which is not a bad deal, just as our way of saying thanks and where have you all been hiding out for so long?

Then you can share them both with your friends around the world, because we expect people to reach out and become a part of the process from all over the world, as long as you do respect the copyrights of all of this material. But you know that you only get back something good when you put in something good. 

We now have well over 600 great big fat members in this group which is huge for any single community email group...

Thirty Five Dollars from each real member will give us something to work with over the coming year. We have not be slacking off here.

We do have some great big fat publications in the works that are just dying to be printed, and that will allow us to reach out to a lot more people. But we can only do that with your help. In return for that we will now be able to send you not only The Eden Journal which is something real that you can show to your friends, but now you will get the Free DVD along with that just as a token of our many thanks. - T
