SimPLife: The Way of the Practical Life

SimPL starts out with an S for Sensible, and why do you suppose that is?

plainly, because there is too much going on in 'normal' life that is NOT sensible. at all.

in fact, if you look closely at this human world (and stay away from the numb-and-dumb headlines),
you find out there isn't a whole lot that isn't full-on batshit crazy.

senseless stuff that affects YOU, me and everyone around us- and installed solely to make the few global owners insanely wealthy on OUR daily purchase decisions,
while dragging down the quality of life from all angles,
as this human world snoozes along,
dimly aware that a problem or two might be happening, somewhere...

how much in your life is well-integrated to your natural rhythms?

another way to say that is, are your lifestyle and life content actually benefitting you, making life simpler, higher quality and more FUN?

think on this.

Here, we will dissect a common example of a system integration- the HomeStead.

almost everyone nowadays dreams of the one-day, idyllic lifemap, complete with house barn farm workshop fields animals students workers earth oven artificial wetlands greenhouse......and.....and.....

i could- and YOU could- go on forever with these details, yet a well executed integration minimizes the pain factor, the detailage and expense of a too-fat system heavily laden with elements which make life a real pain in the arse,

instead of the morning leap out of bed to have more FUN

...now that we're chest-deep in the mire of detail-
elements,
functions,
placements,
people, and
where they all go-

HOW do we emerge with everything coming together in the way we truly want,

the way which works the best for us, for everyone, the planet...

an integration done right- the aim of every design,

and the endpoint in everyperson's fondest daydreams.

let's go!

aahh, the divine law of multiplicity. simply defined as obtaining several results from a single action. the practical application or actually putting this into action,
the blooming of one effect outward to several beneficiaries,
takes a little more than naked understanding.

to master this, is likened to tensing the windspring of the Universe.

the most successful business owners and entrepeneurs have figured this out, whether or not they regard their actions in this kind of context.

after all, how can one or even a few persons actually run an entire organization which is fraught with ongoing details needing attention, without some idea of the multiplied result springing from their relatively few instructions...

This follow-on to the common multi-chat, delves much deeper into multi-finesse, simply by giving an extended urban example- one that you or i, anyone, could be the originator of.

the invitation is ON, therefore- the principles of multiplicity are not difficult to divine, or to implement- as we have learned and seen in our own lives- SO......

what's to stop ANYONE from multi-mastering, and becoming masters of their own lives, commanders of earthly presence, and wildly successful in many areas at once

??

as we spell out SimPL, the first three letters

Sensible,  integrated multiplicity-        are drivers which point the way towards ###strong

/strong###ractical Living, the whole point to any of this.

In these three Practical Living videos, TEN guidelines towards a practical life – a SimPLife – are served:

1. No-Credit Economics
2. Buy Second-Hand
3. NO Chemicals!
4. BE Local
5. Thoroughness In All Things
6. Honour Your Body (be healthy)
7. Eat Less Meat (or none)
8. Make Homemade
9. Teach, Mentor & Mastery
10. Because the World Needs YOU

in this Practical Living video:
6. Honour Your Body (be healthy)
7. Eat Less Meat (or none),

we glimpse into the area of food, personal and community health, perhaps the area most hampered or threatened worldwide. if we might be allowed just this once to dwell morbidly, to raise what we hope are effective alarms-

many people around the world are underpaid and undernourished, and are often seen settling for bodily sustenance which is the cheapest yet most valueless food available. the situation is heading more negative, at the hands of Big Agro and the mass-food machine, churning out volumes of worsening feedstock for the planets' animal and human lifestock.

most damaging of all the corporate badboy control-freak efforts, is the raising of animals for food, whereas vast land, water, chemical and crop resources all add up to an industry that is single-handedly stripping the planet bare- doing more harm than ALL other blamed reasons combined.

questions? there is more proof, tonnes of examples and statistics, than SimPL wishes to admit- here we are looking truly fk'd...

in this final offering of Tier A,

8. Make Homemade
9. Teach, Mentor & Mastery
10. Because the World Needs YOU

we are beseeched to upmarket, or up-energy or produce & harvests into more valuable commodities and refinements. the same would hold true for any craftsperson, to transform raw or repurposed materials into items of higher value.

also, the sharing of wisdoms and cultivation of mastery from mentor-to-pupil, parent-to-child, is outlined as a fundamental human responsibility.

finally, the summing of what SimPLife is emphasizing- the realization of one's own grandeur, by the simpl act of DOing, and creating the lifelong guilds so vital to our present thrival-

and the addictions of the trapped among us, along with the influence of the control powers that make it so-
are finally, irrevocably made irrelevant.

THIS offers a look at the grand questions,
the question of BEING, and BEING HERE (physically, anyway).

'WHY do we care?', and 'how can we be here now?' is offered here.
and
wonder if you can hang out with the final question posed, right there at the end.

write your answers in the Comments!

SimPLife is primarily interested in self-reliance,

as every human has the ability and the responsibility to function by their own power AND to know when they are actually doing this, not by repeating a pop-cultural myth of same, or by merely making one purchase or taking a trendy course.

This chat debunks examples of the current fantasies surrounding self-sufficiency, or self-sustainability, such as:

- minimal efforts can make us all planet-saviours
- one or few recommended efforts can justify other habits of waste and environmental insult
- membership in the good countries, communities, or clubs means we are knowledgeable in earth-logic
- awareness without personal research-in-earnest of actual truth, is not awareness.

alas, the majority citizenry in all countries developed or developing, falls prey to one or more of the above, mostly as a result of bad information.

using principles of self-reliance, as a useful angle from which to understand basic economics,

and a useful tool for achieving the practical, simplife together.

whatever does ORGANIC mean, anyway? this is one abused & overused word in the English language nowadays.

and mostly it gets,well, lost in translation.

poor ‘organic’ our friend, is at once a buzzword, a branch of
chemistry, delineator of certain behaviours, and the flagship of a
global cultural movement.

and i wonder how many folks really have the right word,

when they use this tired & over-wrought label.

then again, in this human world how much that is going on is going on correctly?

SAME OLD STORY...

everyone’s buddy and political hero, Henry Kissinger,
is incorrectly quoted to have said:
“control energy, and you control nations. control food and you control people.”
or, words to that effect...

all jokes aside, old Hank, or someone, was dead on the money. pun intended.

MEANWHILE, we see the populations of most of the planet's countries (reduced to human-livestock pens) are increasingly slave to these controlling interests- cabals, global elite, dominators-

for the Energy & Food etc supplies which are dangled for a Price...

therefore most countries are enjoying mass slavery right now
and are scarcely aware of it.

well. enjoy the show.

Folks who have never been weaned on chemical consumption, that is to say, those not given over to chemcultural habits of dependency at birth-

the automatic reach for some bizarre-coloured spray container or alien smelling agent to do the most basic of functions- in the course of daily life maintenance,

just don't get this chem-world, that people all around them seem to be blindly hooked into.

and it's true! that people in this world have been often seen, applying some caustic or toxic solution to a plain water-and-towel problem, without first pausing for the possibility that this action/duty/response might not actually be necessary.

so...just a few tips of things to try on the cleaning side of natural. more recipes and tips will later be stuffed into the sock of Stuff for Practical Living, yet another feature looming on this course's horizon...

this video is the info-sidekick of Practical Living 3: No Chemicals!

Where To From Here, St. Peter?

An overview of SimPLife courses present and upcoming. lifeskills to bring the physical results you want to see in your life. and the step-by-step hands-on continuation where this course leaves off.

enjoy, and thank you for making it this far- there are not many people nowadays, who can maintain focus in subjects which are not get-rich-quick or miracle shortcut approaches to Life.

i apologize if this sounds silly or inappropriate, but i am proud of you, and proud that you joined SimPLife for this experience.
