Mitigating Drought Department: Mr. Rain Man shows how | Exopermaculture

Phoenixfirebird:

One man’s innovative solutions for living in a drought-ravaged area have
made Tuscon a lot greener, and he eventually managed to get local laws
changed to allow curb-cutting for rainwater collection. Now the city
even offers a rainwater collection rebate to homeowners. Here’s how he
did it:

I especially appreciate the way this one man took it upon himself
to not just transform his own use of water, but to “bump up against
existing laws” in a risky effort to show both his neighborhood and his
city that another way is possible. Both the neighborhood and the Tucson
city government, to their credit, jumped on the bandwagon. Hopefully,
this and similar efforts will pave the way towards a greater
permacultural understanding of how to store and utilize precious water
in any environment during climate change. And notice, BTW, how much more
interesting the landscape when we cut into straight curb lines to open
tiny new spaces for creating abundance.

When it comes to rainfall, Tucson is not the beneficiary of Mother Nature’s bounty. The desert city receives only about 12…

The best choices we make are those that involve, in some way or another,
a generosity of spirit, for in those choices we give.


 

I was walking the gardens this
morning…really I should say, woodland, for that is what it has become,
and pondering on the way in which all this manifested.

It began with an unblinking, unfettered
generosity of spirit…a conscious choice to simply plant trees into a
land bereft of habitat.

Growing and planting trees from seed has been my work over the past ten…

We come again to tell you that matters will soon be coming to a head, as the Love and Light continues to strongly establish itself upon the Earth. Each of you can take some credit for these changes, and we welcome your determination to achieve total success. We are continually monitoring events upon Earth and would assure you that all proceeds very well. We do, so to say keep everything under wraps and even so are making very good progress. For those that keep up with our reports that come through various sources, a picture is emerging that should indicate how much progress we have made.

It has been many years now that our craft have come close to Earth, and it is our way of assuring you that we are looking after you. Sometimes we have to allow karmic situations to see their way to completion, thus allowing much karma to be cleared. Some look at the devastation caused in Syria and the immense loss of life and wonder if it has all been necessary. We would say “yes” because the situation has released so much karma, and allowed many souls to move forward. The destruction would seem to be massive, but bear in mind that it is the negative energies that are being cleared.
Upon our arrival on Earth which is an event that will be announced in the near future, we shall work with you to clear any areas destroyed by wars. We can assure you that all traces will be removed and everything restored to its original beauty.

We can transform areas back to their pristine condition if necessary, in next to no time. These will be exciting times and most fulfilling after centuries of death and destruction. We can absolutely state that nothing shall interfere with our plans to restore Mother Earth. So do not worry unduly as to how the restoration will take place as with our technologies and experience it will seem to be no time at all.

Way back in your past the Earth was truly a Paradise and to it you shall return. God has decreed that there will be an end to wars and the pointless destruction that they cause. So whatever challenges you are yet to experience, bear in mind that you are to see and experience a wonderful closing to the last cycle.

Because the people of Earth have more freedom to travel, the mysteries of other races has become known and ultimately you realise how much you are alike. People seek happiness and peace, and it is only the dark Ones who have deliberately maintained a situation that has repeatedly led to wars and unrest. That is already changing and with the mixing of the different Races, people are realising that there is in truth only one Race upon Earth – the Human Race. Even so as you have incarnated in many different countries for your evolution, you have acquired an understanding of the differences – that All are One. In the larger picture you are all Gods but that is a potential at this time, yet you will come to accept that truth.

You are not your body yet it is a vehicle that you use to gain experience. However, upon death you will move into a higher version of it that will not age or be subject to the ravages of time. In fact it will be perfect version of your previous body but in a higher vibration. The future will be full of very acceptable surprises not least of all your ability to experience freedom to define your own future, and choose them. Being on Earth in the lower dimensions has had its ups and downs, but to use your terminology – it is a fast track to Ascension. Nowhere else would you evolve at such a fast pace, and be assured that many souls would willingly change places with you. It may seem unlikely but you are truly privileged to have the opportunity to evolve in the lower dimensions.

Also be aware that you only carry a small amount of knowledge as to your real status. You are far greater than you imagine but in time you will “grow” into a much higher level of consciousness. On Earth you are very limited and part of your challenge has been to find your real self. Once you begin to realise that your consciousness is limited yet has no boundaries, you will quickly evolve at an astonishing pace. We tell you all of this because it is time for the truth to be made known. You can therefore set your sights as high as you like as literally anything is possible where your evolution is concerned.

Being a Human is in itself a remarkable experience, but can you imagine what it is like to be an Angel. Indeed, what it is like to be at the right hand of God, in a state of pure perfection. You are too far into the lower dimensions to “feel” what it is like in the higher ones, but that will come to you in time. As you must realise, there is no need to limit your ambitions as all souls are slowly making their way back to the Godhead. It may be a little too much to expect you to take in such possibilities but we do want to make you realise that you have unlimited potential.

Coming back to Earth once again, do what you can to help other souls on their journey. After all you are “One” and all at different stages of your journey back home. Share your knowledge where you know it can be accepted and understood, but do not overwhelm another soul as sometimes all that is needed to help awaken them is a subtle suggestion or idea. Deep down each soul knows the Truth, but it has been clouded or hidden deliberately to allow a focus on the experiences necessary. So never assume that lack of knowledge or intelligence are pointers to a souls stage of evolution.

I am SaLuSa, and look forward meeting you on the Earth and being able to help speed up your progress. You will be enlightened more fully as to what the future holds for you, and we can even give you glimpses of it. Technologies are used by us that will truly seem miraculous, and we can therefore deal with your problems on Earth with all speed. Restoring the planet to its pristine condition is one of our first priorities. However, our resources are virtually unlimited, and we have millions of craft to call upon if we needed them. Great times lie ahead and be assured we will invite you to share them with us. So go forward with full confidence as everything will work out not just to your expectations, but well beyond. I leave you with my love and blessings.

Thank you SaLuSa.

Mike Quinsey.

DAILY OM ~ April 4, 2014 Messengers from The Wilderness: Weeds

 "A plant is a weed only within a certain context; one person’s weed is another person’s wildflower."

DAILY  OM ~ April 4, 2014
Messengers from The Wilderness: Weeds
by Madisyn Taylor
http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2014/42850.html

"Simply expressed, a weed is any plant that grows where it isn’t wanted. Weeds are defined by their tendency to flourish at the expense of a gardener’s overall vision, and we tend to battle their presence in our yards. It is interesting to consider, though, that a plant is a weed only within a certain context, which is to say that one person’s weed is another person’s wildflower. Most of us have pulled at least one dandelion up by its roots and disposed of it in the interest of preserving the look of a perfect green lawn, yet the dandelion is good medicine, packed with healing properties and vitamin-rich leaves that are a delicious, spicy surprise in a summer salad.

In the wild, there is no such thing as a weed because the overall vision is in the hands of Mother Nature, who accommodates and incorporates all forms of life. In nature, balance is achieved over the long term, without the aid, or interference, of a human supervisor. While one plant may prevail over others for a certain period of time, eventually it will reach an apex and then it will naturally decline, allowing for other forms to be born and survive. This self-regulating realm was the first garden of our ancestors, who learned the art of agriculture from studying the forests and fields of the as yet uncultivated earth. In a sense, weeds are harbingers of this wildness, pushing their way into our well-ordered plots, undermining more delicate flora, and flourishing in spite of us.

The next time you see a weed, you might want to look deeply into its roots, discover its name, its habits, and its possible uses. Instead of seeing an unwanted intruder, you might see a healer offering its leaves for a medicinal tea or its flowers for a colorful salad. At the very least, if you look long enough, you will see a messenger from the wilderness of Mother Earth, reminding you that, even in the most carefully controlled garden, she cannot be completely ruled out. "
