Thusly, supplying conditions which are optimal for you to cut through confusion and rest in a state of natural clarity about who you are... beyond limited human references -- <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmdnNMpGCmz9YWHfPz756jZdST7L3Aek6smr1mxi61GVfC"> When such a set-up is animated by guardians of wholesome practices, visitors are empowered to experience the apparent-solidity of labels and identities worn based for circumstance melt away... subsequently leaving behind the emotional burdens of trauma and past suffering: <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmP26KNQ3tVWsXVGEWUZNMdJ84MpDhbqBP2MromypgnUWH"> A Revolutionary Business Model When humans treat a place as a destination, enriching it and valuing the details becomes natural. When for example, farms and restaurants are treated separately, the restaurants require curation and care in order that they be an attractive destination to feast, but the farm itself may be treated as disposable. This is precisely what we have witnessed over the last century especially with the development of an industrial food system focused on maximizing short-term profits. If alternatively, the restaurant is actually located within the farm, then the farm must also be treated as a destination whose value must be guarded wholistically: rather than the farming enterprise being guided by demands to maximize commodity production, the farmers are supported in close dialogue with the chefs and hosts to consider a more complete set of aesthetic and ecological factors. If we take this another step and designate that the destination is more than just tasty food, but actually a sense of satisfaction, comfort, and healing, then it flows naturally to farm medicine along with the food, to incorporate dietary healing principles into the food itself, and depending on the farm, to include a spa. Rather than separating all of these economic models and leaving open the possibility of externalizing costs, a permaculture approach to farming paired with a wholistic set of human-care practices creates a business where many notions of value converge to create a singularly cohesive and regenerative production with the potential to be powerfully regenerative of both the earth and its people. Now take it out of the business frame entirely for a moment. This is a starting to look like a village, what we are dreaming to build. So we can go ahead and place on the farm, with the restaurant and spa, an art gallery, a school, an elder care facility, and communal spaces, like a town square and makers-spaces. The more that we facilitate value transfers between these business models without using any formal currency, the simpler the accounting books can become: the more the economy can become familial instead of professional. This has been the hope from the beginning, that the business could be run as a devotional temple offering, hosting a potlach of gratitude amongst the community that feeds back on support for the building of the permaculture system that maintains the people and the temples intact. Leading the way with a non-local community-driven business model devoted to Media, Storytelling, and Education. Since the initiation of this project as a brick-and-mortar boostrapping enterprise shortly before Covid, aligning the business model with the current economic conditions, building trust surrounding the enterprise, and calling in the people who genuinely wish for these sorts of experiences has been necessary. The plan is to have media and branding lead the way -- build a business like Disney's which transforms imagination into reality, carefully exploring what is possible and desirable along the way. So we build belief this is a destination worth going to, an experience worth having and use that as the lead business model to generate the funds to care for and improve the place: to implement the regenerative enterprises, ideally to even charitably support people in taking the time to enjoy the final product. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWC9hm5akYrXBwpP8VyWxmzxKrtfm5qZUs2ABGFB2vYpe"> Presenting a Timely, Universally-Relevant Brand <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmS798dwC8zrF6G3YNmY5bU3ADA4MfHjSMhb9X5nsyT4rf"> Inspired by <a href="https://www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?title=Tsok" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-size-large">ancient Buddhist Rituals</a>Implemented through habits and routines that put <a href="https://vimeo.com/149691287" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ancestral guidance</a> into practice: We are set up to be a Beacon of a New Paradigm We are preparing a feast to awaken the sense of taste In one of the most beautiful places in the world:<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmQqsfDzB5ckFVCfTCWUCCGLYMB1yywqPsrPXVSqK5qeD2"> All around, even here at the edge of where humanity's vicious cutting of the forest stopped, the pre-fabricated buildings are reminiscent of the cities…. People bring their hungers: the pressure to make money follows people everywhere in the world today.

Supply chain shortages, natural systems management failures, and multiple overlapping health crises are resulting in a mass exodus from wage slavery (messily). Covid started with the shutting down of brick and mortar businesses, while online business and especially the financial investment sector boomed. This combined with the printing of money and potentially covert supply chain manipulation has created a situation in which brick and mortar jobs can barely keep up with inflation. Going forward, NFT technology and a constantly improving non-local media-production industry will empower brick and mortar businesses to drastically differentiate themselves quality-wise without necessarily disturbing existing affordable price-points by pairing their more substantial offerings with media-driven funding funnels. Ultimately, I believe this will result in a new approach to business. Particularly, I think it will look like a whole bunch of artist and creator unions aligning with a whole bunch of regenerative projects. I have found a home in the Below Bored Comedy Club, which is the NFT project that ever enchants me. The Bored Ape Yacht club and Yuga Labs as a whole fascinate me. They are up to really big things. When I analyze what is going on in their overall community (that I can see), it appears to me that the hype is not without merit. Like their leaked pitch deck says, they are building something for everyone. Like their website says, they are exploring big ideas in identity, which I what I see in the PFP projects. Bored with ideological opposition, bored with watching the same old crash and burn political cycles.&nbsp;&nbsp;People have been back-end co-operating with the corporations, their unsustainable burn, the political demons, etc. to guide the war machine that keeps wealth ever stratifying. And at a certain point of technological development, we can stage another tea party, with all the world’s resources — sequestering them away in currencies and fighting for our rights to not be taxed by Kleptocracies and extractive debt based currencies. (here find me diving into this in much greater detail: <a href="https://www.samsarasnadir.xyz/boxedchocolatebusinessplan)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.samsarasnadir.xyz/boxedchocolatebusinessplan</a>, <a href="https://www.samsarasnadir.xyz/mythmadehysstory" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.samsarasnadir.xyz/mythmadehysstory</a>). The future is bright. Lifestyles of consumption are for monarchs, not CEOs. Corrupt governments will crumble in the midst of ecological and economic ruin, whereas coherently organized businesses will not. We all now have opportunities to build ourselves into businesses on the basis of community-driven community-supportive economic models. Thank you for everyone who endured strong in the truth through the Dark Age of Separation.We are in the process of making the leap from the Kali Yuga’s Darkside to her Light: the age of enslavement to machines will turn to liberation through connectivity, receptivity, and cocreativity. Inspiration and encouragement are crucial if people are to take the leaps of faith that will catalyze economic transition.&nbsp;&nbsp;To this end, tokens of Gratitude, Honor, and Respect can be given to one another, inspired by our recognizing each other's steps through the following areas of life: - Loving life-giving relationship- Gardening- Fasting/detox/self-care- Body building/Organ rejuvenation- Home-making- Language and culture preservation / sacred fire keeping- Ecological aligned creation Instead of currencies accommodating brutal accounting systems that squeeze people for everything they have, we can keep inflating the credit bubble by using what we have to nurture, validate, and credit people in their progressions toward embodied gratitude, service, and self-sufficiency.&nbsp;We will not be disappointed taking these risks if we coordinate and cooperate – for the simple reason that these qualities we are nurturing feedback to a person’s capacity to earn money and also to live without money.&nbsp; <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmXRAWksvq6uHECEZQMDZmecLGc6SvFjarvDChAUixx91G"> An opportunity to interview for apprenticeship.
