Green Acres Permaculture Village: RENAISSANCE

June 10, 2025

While yes, over the weekend I was focused, with part of my busy left brain on events beyond this little green acres homestead —

OMMIGOD: I stop posting for three days, hoping to leave “the news” behind. Joke!

— much the larger part of my brain, including the remainder of the left brain, and all of the right brain/heart/source, was devoted to bringing into manifestation, again, the “social media” aspect of greenacresvillage.org a service which had “slipped my mind” for many months, reaching back to October of 2025.

For the past 15 years (one half cycle of Saturn!), this little template for the transformation of suburbia has been fermenting, forming, fulfilling its mission through what permaculturists now call “emergent design,” little by little, each tiny choice enlarging the frame and inviting the next choice; on and on, no end to it.

(In other words, you don’t have to know what you’re doing. But you do have to know what you desire. Then, just take the first tiny step. See what happens. See how the world rearranges itself in line with your intent. Because it does. It always does. Take that piece of advice from an 82-year-old contrarian crone who has been living consciously for nearly 50 years — trusting the universe, taking massive risks all along, and thriving.)

Continuing to document the changes here, and their many unexpected gifts is, I do feel crucial, part of our purpose, as we continue to inspire others to do the same, as in:

Hey folks? Who is your next door neighbor? Meet and greet them. Share a meal. Start talkin’ about what is most important in life. You might even decide to do a common garden in between your two houses! Start there! Share tools, expertise, get others to join in. Move to back yards, front yards. Meanwhile, get to know each other, as per our motto:

So, over the weekend, I decided to “begin again.”

I wrote up two new posts, and have yet to figure out how to easily broadcast them, since the little icons at the top of the page don’t appear to work. (For many years, I was able to rely on someone who used to live here for technical questions; I’m hoping to attract another tech-savvy person in the coming months who is willing to aid me, or even better: take over!)

Here are the posts, and frankly, they both imply Renaissance in our little decentralized paradise. At this point in our already well-established shared space, we are managing to easily harness and creatively utilize the forces of massive tumultuous change.

Grateful.

OMMIGOD: I stop posting for three days, hoping to leave “the news” behind. Joke!

June 9, 2025

Here I thought I was beginning to quell my own addiction to screens. Wrong! As the world heats up, so does my addiction. As one seemingly impossible situation follows another, what seemed unbelievably horrible only days ago shades into ho hum.

For example:

The (supposed) Trump/Elon divorce: remember that? Ages ago. Friday. All sorts of points of view on that bursting star since then. No way to keep track. Thank goodness. Plus, who cares? Who cares if the duo that ignited the DOGE revolution no longer “see eye to eye.” Or do they? What level are you talking on, baby? This might be 5D chess, or 10D chess, for all we know. Way above my pay grade. Whatever. Or, as Kabamur put it (my favorite point of view):

I.e., the soul level connection remains undisturbed. Two gigantic egos, what each soul uses to get things done in the material world, no longer fused in orientation. Or at least apparently not. Many many people see this as a fake dispute, for all sorts of different reasons with all sorts of perspectives.

Or: let’s laugh, shall we?

One thing that does make me shudder. If Elon is so unstable (which does seem to be, is he?), what happens to X/twitter? I admit I’ve leaned on this platform almost to the extent of forgetting all others lately.

Okay. That’s one gigantic disturbance in the ongoing tumultuous cultural/political atmosphere. Now turning into ho hum.

Then, staying with just the U.S. — and ignoring the world as a whole: 1) the seeming ramp-up of World War III involving Ukraine (Zalensky), Russia and NATO, with drones and missiles flying, landing, killing, destroying; 2) or how about Israel/Iran/Palestine/etc. etc., another WWIII trigger?; 3) or China’s XI, is he being forced out? If so, even more global destabilization? — let’s shift to the sudden militarization here, inside the U.S,.

All sorts of war machines rolling by train into D.C., supposedly for a big parade on Trump’s birthday, June 14th, causing all sorts of DC swamp types to scuttle outta town — true? Then there’s LA, three days and nights now of utter mayhem, reminding us of that George Floyd summer. This time, it seems, the gloves are coming off. And the word “Insurrection” is heard more and more. The LA mayor and the California governor, who have both allowed/encouraged mass immigration (for voting purposes, we suspect; and likely to satisfy the long-term 2030 agenda of simply fracturing each nation’s cultural mycellial web to the point where it no longer serves to buffer outside forces) going up directly against federal orders to deport illegal aliens.

(In Indiana, the town I live in, Bloomington, is doing the same thing, in this case, going up against the new state governor’s orders to comply with federal orders.)

Yep. Saturn and Neptune now both in fiery Aries, conjunct. Ignition. Initiation.

Neptune: idealism, delusion, spellbinding, confusion.

plus

Saturn: stop, contain, order, direct, punish.

Culturally, optimistically,  might we call this the stage when the caterpillar eats his own self in the process of becoming a butterfly? 

It may be. And it may be that things have to get a lot worse before they get better. One thing to note: Jupiter moves from expanding Gemini “news”  into  emotional, home-loving Cancer on June 12th.

Which makes this post by Jon Rappoport very timely: what he calls the “Knock on Your Door Theory:”

LA Riots: snap judgments and high-fallutin theories

 

Excerpt;

It’s in the form of a question, and it goes this way: If you live close to, or in the middle of the riots, who would you rather have knock on your front door, cops and soldiers or the rioters?

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. Jupiter was in its detriment in Gemini.  it may be that the hot fires of Saturn/Neptune in Aries will begin to sober up, as we, both personally and collectively, begin to realize what is really at stake.

P.S. I didn’t actually look at screens for three days. Part of the time I was doing something closer to home. More on that in next post.
