    A 3-minute video from Chris regarding installation of his Point Source Radiance Ground System.. which is a radial/circular solution, as opposed to wires run underground in a linear fashion — i.e. energy radiates from a central point outward in all directions.. (Erin, I thought you might like to see this, as we talked about this radial system before.. seems to me, the very least you need to do is get a hold of the device that goes in the ground, and hook it up to whatever antenna you have on-hand.. @EY29 ).. 🙂 ..enjoy y’all..

    One of the better primitive construction builds I’ve seen.. Simple, yet the key here is the weaving on the wooden dome skeleton in the way of a wattle fence.. creates stability through tension in the structure.. Methinks this is a good out-building, shed, or chicken coop.. or guest house.. 😀

    Video is 26 minutes long, but I put it on 2x playback speed and did a bit of fast forwarding, for the gist..

    Ann-Marie.. I adore this thread already.. These are the things I contemplate myself, regarding groundwater, the intelligence of water and its consciousness, etc.. I could go ON and on about this, but will try to be succinct here.. I entered into an open and conscious relationship with water a couple years ago, within my “health journey” (as people say), and it was and has been a profound thing to experience and develop into.. It’s something that develops over time, but it really is a thing, to develop this relationship with water at that level of divine consciousness.. It’s delightful, actually.. I began with prayers, with water held to my heart, which instantly resulted in purging a lot of pent-up grief and sorrow from my body and being.. and I practice urine therapy here & there, and in general, to some degree, and as that particular water is our very life essence, encoded with the information we need to be well.. well, that’s just some next-level action right there.. But here’s the thing about that relationship — it’s one of co-creation.. it is *not* “do something for me”.. and with water, you instantly resonate into a place of honesty with yourself.. Alec says you can’t fool water, or be dishonest.. that’s not the point really.. you don’t *want* to even try to be dishonest or greedy or whatnot.. not possible in that authentic relationship.. Some of the best healing moments of the past year have been when I wade barefoot and shirtless into the river here (3 blocks down the street).. the draw I feel to do such things, I know it when I need it, and I do it, without pressure on myself.. it’s like homeopathy — you know what you need when you need it, if you just listen..

    Furthermore, I’m working on putting together an energy research program, which will run adjacent to and in conjunction with a healing arts center.. I’m working on building a proposal to find investors to acquire land for a group homestead (modeled after a kin’s settlement).. The energy research will orbit largely around the natural world, and involve investigations into Electroculture, materials engineering (stone, crystals, metals, etc.), megalithic (or microlithic) structures like pyramids, geometry, etheric antennas, etc.etc.. Part of my vision includes the importance of water and working that into systems — natural or structured streams and waterfalls, as well as water infiltration into the ground.. One of the things I’ve thought of is swaling sloped terrain and infiltrating more water into the ground and creating underground water flow in directed or specific ways, and see if we can’t create shallow water wells, and even perhaps natural hillside springs during the rainy season (here in rainy Oregon).. I’ve got hillside terracing under my belt (think Machu Picchu), and so that will be part of it, including water catchment streams and ponds (with fishes, of course)..

    The healing center will orbit around “energy”, with focuses on — sound, music & chanting/singing; movement, dance, Eurythmy; color & light; geometry; drumming and fire; applied kinesiology; the hands-on things like meridian touch; and homeopathy will be the big cornerstone as well..

    So, there’s all that.. which is to say, I’m chomping at the bit to investigate more of the water thing.. One thing for certain that inspires this — ancient megalithic structures all over the world have water running underneath them.. that’s energy harvest.. and such things are potentially sources of healing (as reported by many over the years).. 😊

    I don’t remember that line explicitly, but now I’m chomping at the bit to see it again!.. and memories are starting to jog.. wasn’t there some patriarchal buzzard (Head Buzzard in Charge) that had a deep, old, raspy voice??.. is he the one that said that line??.. Yes, must see this again..

    🦅 <– (pretend this eagle is a buzzard).. lol

    Makes sense!.. I’ve found most plants respond positively with new growth when you disturb them in some way, typically pruning/cutting and transplanting, and even disturbing the roots by digging next to them.. I’ve seen plants put out aggressive new growth with any of these.. It’s like a refresher.. and it then makes sense why some say you can dig up all your Sunchokes in autumn and just put them back in the soil until you’re ready to pull them out to eat.. the rest will be set for the next grow season.. I thought, why not just leave them alone and dig only what you need when you need?.. Makes more sense now, a constant refresher, and they’re obviously not negatively impacted by uprooting..

    Sunchokes, as I’m sure you’re aware, are reported to be zero maintenance (except digging to eat).. I grew Yukon Gold potatoes many years ago on a whim, just stuck some taters in the ground — each one turned into a dozen.. was easy, hardly ever thought of them.. Never done sweet potatoes.. Haven’t had a proper garden in a loooong time..

    Hmm, interesting feedback.. thanks for that.. this video was literally my first time hearing of these, and all I can go on is the photos I saw in the video, which included some large patches of naturalizations.. So I dunno how prolific or widespread they typically are found.. As far as starchy tubers that are wild (or can be naturalized easily), my go-to at this point is Sunchokes (tuberous sunflower).. infamous for naturalizing and “taking over”, which would be the point in putting them in the ground, at least for me.. when I get a piece of land, Sunchokes will go in the ground pronto.. (right now I got some in large pots, and they don’t particularly care for that confinement)..

    Thanks for posting this about Lamb’s Quarters.. I see that growing wild around here all the time.. When I was spotting it last year, I knew it was in the Amaranth family, and I was certain it was a Chenopodium, even gave it a little taste.. Now that I did an image search to confirm, yeah, I’ll be foraging that one too.. Hey, have you heard of a Geum species called Wood Avens??.. That’s everywhere too, and I’ve yet to taste it..
