    but i didnt know where else to put this..

    We received our first green energy donation in the mail today,, ...

    Is truly a mixxed emotion experience..

    On one hand we can use it to further the expansion of the farm,,but on the other,,we've always done for ourselves,,except for travelers comin thru donating labor we've done everything for ourselves here..

    On the other hand in the last year alone weve kicked down close to 1100 bucks to people traveling thru for their labor above and beyond our minimum requirements in our "do it" policy..
    Like i said very mixxed emotions on accepting it, although we already know what project its going to..
    Was just wondering others thoughts on accepting green energy donations...

    Thanks for your comments good or bad..

    Luv~N~Lite

    If the funds are being used to the betterment of the land and therefore it is a positive on not only it but also what the dream is then it should be used without guilt and the benefit of having it reaped.

    Hope the project that you are going to use it for, goes great. :)

    Well we are using it to get the bunkhouse up an finished it should cover the last of the materials we need to erect it..



    It wont be much but should accomodate two travelers and there gear and in the colder months will be much warmer than a tent..



    I know we shouldnt feel guilty because i know the morals we have and what our intent is,, however it just is strange that a stranger would believe enough in our convictions to donate to us whithout even visiting..


    We told the donor this and they didnt care,, is really a interesting emotional experiance..


    N~E way ya feel about us,, send good and blessed vibes an luvin lite to the donor..

    Was a very unselfish and wonderfull thing they chose to do,,an we hope we can always live up to what they must see in the farm here..:sunglasse

    If it's something that they see in your project, and they want to be a part of that in some small way, I don't see how you could refuse their gift. That would be kinda like...No thanks buddy, we'll do it ourselves. By accepting the gift, you've given them a gift in return...Just my 2 cents

    Peace

    With love and light then use it as it was intended to be used.

    We be a funny lot as people as we work and we strive to do what we know in us is what we should and yet if we get a little help we back track and think did we ask for it.....did we some how expect it. Should we take i?

    Instead be thankful that some one of like mind saw a vision and wanted to be a part of that even if from a distance.

    I know the light I feel and that is good enough for me.

    Use this to do what you need to and when a traveller shows, you will be able to not only fulfil the wish that is yours to accommodate but also the donators.

    Life is a circle and what we do will not only reflect on us but those we touch. Keep the touching going.

    The person who wished to help saw the same.

    With love to all of you

    nope, a man I respect. Don't ask as I do not only do words. :) Keep the vision and also keep the posts as they are you. Nothing else in life matters but who we are.

    We come from different language as I am more talk and you do blunt (gotta love it).... but I do not do words as much as light. I function in Babylon as it funds what I need to and provides me with a comfort level to raise my kids and to fund what I want to. I do exactly what I wish and with comfort and knowing that it is where I have to go. I work on the right to fund my left thinking.....and that just be. Works.

    I do words and you do to the core. Neither one is right just a different way but I can read your words and they make me think. Grounding. That is with respect, as not many can make me think. Feel what you say so that is beyond type and what matters.

    Keep it going as a circle is just that. What we give, is what we get.

    To all the travellers.....find a soft spot and be happy and content.

    Happy building and those who need this will be treated right when they find you all.

    With love and build :)

    As soon as I get my custody issues resolved .....we will meet as I promised a Cigar that is good and shared with someone I hold dear. :) A number 10 Torpedo is what will be smoked and whole lot of money as that is my fun thing in life.... but more enjoyment as that to me matters as I can do it. ;) Working on the right and thinking and smoking on the left matters. :)

    We shall meet and one of these days you are going to get an email that says I am coming and cook a meatloaf :)
    With love

    if you got a green energy donation, and used it for green energy, then more will come and the energy project will grow. if you use it to meet other needs, they you will collect bad karma on the project you are using it for, and bad karma on the green energy project and bad karma on the donations department. just my 2 cents, and feel free to use that anywhere.

    wayfaring,, i think you have kept track of us enough to know we strive to not create "bad kharma" in the reality that we live in..

    Still it makes us wonder if what we choose to do with the green energy is what said donor would have wanted..

    ya get what im sayin?

    As with any thing HH yah just keep the energy flowin... yah don't dead end it, you use it to help better the situation and stay open to helpin others ... round and round it goes where she land next no one knows -
    and the giving is often a blessing to the giver - we all want to feel part of that which we love and respect - just pass it on when your turn comes - just like ya been doin

    I think you should accept the money and put it to good use. You are doing the right thing in my opinion. Keep up the work and I hope your community continues to grow.

    Best wishes

    From one "old asshole" to another: you seem like your heart is in the right place, take the money and feel no regret.

    yeah, he loved your idea. i'm sure there's a beautiful vagabond inside of him, and he felt compelled to donate to a cause he thought was worth one. his idea/way of helping was through green energy, and his intent, too, was just as pure as you folks out there, with your intentions. =). To him, wherever he is, his donation has probably blessed him with much light, and i think that you guys chillin out on the feelfreefarm should be just as blessed, knowing you guys made such a thing possible for him, the donator... green energy is ( i read every word on your site, and share so many of your ideologies ) not what you guys are striving for, not REMOTELY, maybe even the opposite, but the intention behind his donation is what's important; and it will inevitably be put to a greattt cause... the situation, being the first too, is kinda funky =P but nonetheless, i truly think those emotions should really fixate on his generous act of giving.
    it's crazy though, how he didn't stop by or anything... just came across the site =P good ol' world wide web huh?
    i'll be visiting you guys soon! my first commune, after my departure from this spiritual prison, will be on the feel free farm =) just need to escape =\ one day soon though.
    much much love to you folks. may your project inspire the world! peace -ethan

    I've spent a half a lifetime learning to accept blessings from others. Never have gotten completely comfortable with it, but it's in my stars... For some reason it seems like so much more for someone to hand you their hard earned money, than to give something else...Babylonian programming I guess. Just be thankful, use it for good, and go on. You're just reaping your karma, and the other guy just made some good for himself.
