it is important that you dream of what a free world looks like. that you let yourself daydream about it, and desire it.

dont EVER listen to the voice that tells you, "its never going to happen, so stop dreaming about it".

that is the voice of inner death, not responsibility. Responsibility is doing external things that need to be done. It is not letting your soul die. Nothing is more irresponsible.

dream of what your strange community building home business in a new era, that only accepts bitcoin or metals looks like.

Fill the atmosphere with dreams and prayers of a new reality.

I want to hear more about this. Closest thing I've seen to articulating a vision of the future in positive terms is solarpunk, but of course that comes with a whole lot of baggage.

The Kingdom is not what we (or I) have understood it to be. It’s not just a church. It is a world that works. It contains ways to grow food, ways to organize communities, ways to heal land. It is every good thing we hope for. We will be embarrassed when we realize God is much much larger that we ever understood.

This part was for you.

Dreaming of the future is on my heart today. And how each of us have these seeds in us. And they are each unique seeds that only we can express, becoming a structure of living stones. You have a vision for free communication. I have a vision of physical community with markets, gardens… it’s all part of the same larger hope. The Spirit brings order out of chaos. He hovered over the waters of creation, He is hovering over the chaos now, and we are hearing those groanings deeper than words.

Co-sign all of that. A big part of articulating a vision for the future I think involves understanding what was great about the past. I love Wendell Berry for this, but when I mention him in this context, people generally think I'm advocating a regression, not an advance. But I don't think Berry is merely nostalgic. I think he had a vision for life that was mostly unrealized, even in the past. The nostalgia we have for the past is in many ways the same as our hope for the future, because the past we remember never actually existed. But it could exist (in some form completely different from what we expect) in the future.

Makes a lot of sense.

The Spirit asked me once, “When Jesus said He only did what He saw the Father doing, what do you think He meant”?

God never asks a question to get information. He asks to get your attention.

I said, “ I dunno 🤷 “

He asked, “what do you see God doing in the earth right now?”

I said, “ raising up voices in the digital space since it will be the future of communication.”

He just smiled.

Each of us will see something different. And that is by design.

A building of living stones…

Interesting, i havent heard that term before. IMO, the deification of solar is part of the scarcity psyop. there are more reliable and scalable forms of energy that are clean and abundant.

It’s only that if you let it be that.

We produce all the electricity we need in the summer from 8 panels.

It’s glorious. That’s what it is for me.
