ECONESIA – Ecotopia Evolves from

Green our Communities

Econesia – began for me in 1970s with our hippy idealism: loving nature, free will, social equality, free cooperation, barter, trading & giving away things like, food, clothes, tools, records, toys, furniture & ‘free recycling stores’. Dropping out was essential to see & learn how controlled we were growing up & in big business competition.

Natural awareness, organic instincts & free spirit is in us all, even if you don’t know it. I was sick, secretly sad & mad, fearing rejection, pain & nature like most clean freaks my birth & mom gave me. Being needy & hyperactive kid got me in lots of trouble asking why, challenging beliefs, fears rules & freedom. I was unloved, addicted to junk foods, punished & seeking sex for over a decade. I had to get married in 64 at 20 years old, while working & college student in PE & science very smart & frust-rated. Getting stoned in ‘67 & listening to Beatles, Stones, Millar, Hendrix, Doors, J.Airplane & black soul awoke my feelings & need for cosmic truth.

I began meditating in ’69 candle -gazing & changing after smoking herb occasionally for 2 years, having visions spontaneously. In ‘71 I became totally devoted to giving away, volunteer helping out & learning constantly how empire works & mother nature flows around us all. I upsets the expectations & fears of our family & friends attached to big science culture of hi tech depending on imported reality, goodies & orders. I followed for 25 years, with buried feeling needs for natural feelings we all have forgotten to live in empire-city power-grids of luxury inside of war economy. I had to heal my old forgotten birth & bonding trama, child abuse & fears , lies & hate of 100 things to be free, relaxing & feeling bliss in love with energy flows & glows in spiraling waves. Much radical music gave me lots of surprising bliss rush.

My first present teachers were nature, saunas, Jack Schwartz, Ray Lowe, Art Pearl, Ralph Nader & Bucky ‘geo-dome’ Fuller the Synergetics genius design science revolution. I woke up in ‘70s into ‘peace movement’ sent in my draft card, while learning Dreikurs family counseling Cooperative parenting at UO, Eugene. Bucky Fuller’s ‘World (energy peace) Game’ & “Utopia or Oblivion” ’71 I awake in jail to ouir choices of creating our futures together or accepting living under empire of war & unconscious living in fears. So I devoted by life to natural free spirit learning & giving away my love.

The Ecotopian movements began with Earth Day, anti war & pro ecopeace move-ments ‘back to the land’. Our community in Eugene was very underground just allowed by the liberals in Oregon. We learned how the toxic Pollution is made & damages us, like Rachel Carson revealed in 60s form Silent Spring’ & not buying & using toxic things is nearly impossible in most cities.

So moving to the country is needed & healing up our childhood fears, needs & toxic habits with massage, yoga, vegetarian, living outdoors, playing with children, meditation, radical therapy, & spiritual learning in many ways. A big split in Newagers is the free spirit of self realizing with awareness & the savior authority guru advisors, are in churches & empire pyramids of power for saving souls, controlling minds & society. The big science religion of hi tech business in medical fields bonding millions of us to germ theory, taking drugs, killing bugs & out natural instincts for feeling, needing & loving free Mother nature Classy Technocrats reject the free spirit of nature as primitive, savage, pagan peasants tree-hugging hippies, dirty, stupid, lost souls, rebels & even insane for freedom. So 100, 000s of US are given drugs &or jailed for taking marijuana for freedom, health & pain relief even if the Bible says use herbs.

The Blessed Unrest by Paul Hawken documents how a billion earthlings are now working& joining in voluntary groups in community service to fill our needs naturally without money, time & fears of authorities, began in 1970s. ECOTOPIA –(Callenbach ‘75) a future fiction novel of NW US, becoming a separate country from USA with women (mothers) running it democratically like Cuba; tiny military & no airplanes, nukes or cars &* lots of ecology, free mass transit & local sovereignty. Making ourself healthy not depending on quick fake fixes with drugs, surgery & radiation. We use our instincts for preventing ills & healing with elimination & organic sources; water, yoga, sunshine, Chi-kung massage, , breathing fresh air, sauna - steam, herbs, etc. very ‘Ecotopian’.

We live in paranoid & hi class cities of acidic foods, speed & toxichemo & radiation zapping our brains, nerves, glands & DNA mutating generations fast deeply & secretly since industry began electricity, motorized wars, cars & airplanes. Million are searching for natural utopia is rejecting the hi-tech utopia flies since WW 1. The 3^rd world war is continuing since WW2 we can protest is a struggle. We can get free in our comm.-unity, nature & homes. I need mother natures deep body health & soul awareness in meditating. We are working & playing for unity with present love, while empire uses divide & control ever more social classes, laws & fears. the richer our culture depending on hi tech. Our natural instincts for feeling, choosing our needs in nature are lost from the womb, birth & bonding, indoorism & schools of big busine$$.

The historic ‘golden age’ is another fantasy of class driven hi society of money, time & hi tech. The dark ages is when & wherever we live in illusions like the last 3000 years under empires of wear fears & hierarchy control. Nature is always calling us, able to feel her free gifts. We are learning & doing cooperation together, not competition that splits people apart in contests for rewards, status & protection games in private property.

We’re created equal in free spirit when we feel & choose it on land, at home & with natural elements in eternal cycles of balancing. Organic gardening, Food Not Lawns’, cooperating together with making, trusting & changing agreements is our free bonding here now with lifelong learning. Big school syst-ems fade out with daily home education & being IN nature. Like self help health care & natural healing as needed we can stay & grow young, vital & more happy with organic health awareness. Popular consuming we replace with finding, growing * creating energy waves we love doing & feeling at home &??
