Novel coronavirus. No immunity. No cure. No joke. You know the info.

Sometimes I read coronavirus as "carnivorous". Intense, extreme, vicious, invisible wildfire.
.
I've been watching it approach since January, if only peripherally then. As it got closer and louder, I sprang into action to massively increase the strength and frequency of the food, herbs and medicine I've got with me and around me.

In "the before time" I'd use certain foods and herbs consistently, or semi-casually, just regular life. There was then the luxury of some kinda semi-certainty. A flu might be going around, might have a bit of a runny nose. No big deal. That time of year, etc.

Now, of course, it's all hands on deck.

Will any of the following prevent infection from COVID19, who knows, probably ultimately unlikely. However it does feel to me the following provides resistance, protection and potential to soften the impact, should you become infected.

Ok, so–

Here's a list of food, herbs, practices and resources I've been working with to keep in tip top health, to help flatten the curve -and- to help keep ---ahead of the curve---. .

1) Mushrooms

The Ganodermas came in quick, early and strong. Ganoderma Appalanatum (Artist Conk) primarily. Along with Trametes Versicolor (Turkey Tails). These are excellent and well known to encourage respiratory, cardiovascular, immune, and mental health. They are also fairly abundant, ubiquitous and easy to identify. Go find them.

2) More mushrooms

I've been microdosing for about five years and have known the little friends intimately for 25 years. While I don't follow a strict schedule, I pepper the weeks with a wee microdose here and there. I certainly feel excellent physical benefits and of course excellent mental benefits. There is a lot of rapid change, a lot of heavy info, a lot to process, and it sure seems the little friends are a big help with in this crisis.

I've been seriously deeply diving into the mushrooms these days. Loved 'em for a long time. But, in a crisis like now, I've been dedicated to making strong mushroom & herbal tea every damn day.

I admit, I've been a bit of a mushroom snob, thinking only the classic red reishi will do any real good, while other Ganoderma are somehow inferior.

Jumping into Ganoderma Appalanatum, aka Artist Conk, daily and at strength, I am as impressed with them as I've been with any fancy classic red reishi from China or those that are cultivated.

Artist Conk are ubiquitous, abundant and easy to identify. Go find em and dive in, daily.

Benefits to cardiovascular, respiratory, immune and mental health are apparent, to me, and very well researched.

I'll post more about the teas I've been brewing, and the plant medicine I'm working with to help keep body & mind super tip top these days.

Keep an eye out.

In the meantime, any questions on the use of Ganoderma Appalanatum or other mushrooms, just drop a note. 🙂 .

The quick ist thing that I ever did build

Was a bamboo greenhouse just fer the thrill

Of eatin lotsa food while the world stands still

Oohhhoohh oh hot dang

Ran outta plastic and I ain't goin shoppin

Said ta ma self, buddy ain't no stoppin

Thought for a minute bout sewing up recyclin

But that dangalang just doesn't sound excitin

Whistled to my neighbor, one mile away

Before I even knew it she had saved the day

Dropped off some plastic yeah a real big piece

I was so dang grateful, to say the least

Well,

You can do it too, for barely a penny

I'll show you the steps, there's not that many

Coupla days that's all it's takin

And in a short while I'll surely be rakin

Leaves and greens and zooks and fruit

And if we're smart and lucky have a party to boot! .

The pressure's on, and, the pressure's off.

Stay sharp, and, chill do what you love.

Harness the storm. Keep yourself steady.

Veer into slowness.

Spring into action.

Following the Mantis was not easy. Large strides, a hovering gait, pensive. I kept up because I had to. The forest opened in front of him, wrapped around us, and closed behind me. A sphere of influence, an agreement.

All whispers and shush. Like he was hunting. Except it wasn't a hunt. An extraction. Drawing time out of trees, and the air, the way you draw blood into a syringe.
.
Memories of Cedar, the wandering thoughts of Alder, the steadfast judgments of Fir. All picked and gathered and brought into our ethereal vehicle.

This was the most difficult part of keeping up – the weight of time and memory. Each tree adding another log's worth of burden– one we would eventually process and winnow at camp.

It was around now I realized, I was the packhorse.

2020, Day 1

To the Ocean to celebrate Spring.

Equinox. Equilibrium.

I jumped in first, but, only real quick like, cuz, it just wasn't quite cold enough, ya know, honestly, seriously, actually I prefer it to be colder, like, why spend more?

Right?

Then, out of the sky, comes @laurasolarnova, like a dolphin super cat, I could barely freakin' believe it.

Rumours, conspiracy, all true.

And she swam for I don't know how long.

Cases of Ganoderma are spreading rapidly, globally at an astounding rate.

Do not be afraid.

Enjoy!

While they may appear benign and alien, these powerful AV (Anti-Viral) crafts are here to assist you in almost every way.

Deployed and available around the planet, these craft come installed with the most up-to-date upgrades to help strengthen your respiratory system, cardiovascular system, immune system, nervous system, solar system, microbiome, and the list goes on with intelligence, throughout your entire body.

It is not a matter of "if you will encounter one" — only, "when you will encounter one".
.
Several types of Ganoderma are embedded into the environment for you to discover! Each with unique and exciting design! Each with slightly different synergies!

Expect to collect them all!

Download them into you!

Originating in antique China, the Ganodermas were released sequentially—replicating, adapting, like versions of software, specific to the bioregion in order to assist the life there.

Lucidum, Tsugae, Appalanatum, are currently trending upward, holding top spot now, as they have, for eras upon eras, or EUE.

In EUE 20, "Lucidum", one of the earliest versions of Ganoderma, became well known for its excellent ability to calm the heart, and peace the mind.

Revered for its role in the "Era of the Clean Hands", it has, of course, retained its crown, and remains prized by the human population.
.
When a subsequent version, known as "Tsugae", replicated in antique Pacifica, it was clear the AV had spread sufficiently.
.
Quickly followed by "Appalanatum", this reinforcer update formed what we now refer to as The Tripod, wherein the Era of Golden Solitude revealed its first Teacher.

"We flip, we flop, we rock, we roll, we hip, we hop–we're so alive–we sing, we dance, we jump, we jive, we thrive, we stride–come for the ride–we hide, in trees, in cold, in damp, we win, we won, we are the champs, the heat, so sleek–we're what you seek–advance, retreat, totally complete, untouchable. Highly lovable."
.
A Hawk approached. It's wings moved the sky. The vibes moved down, in sharp waves, to the forest floor, landing, like smoke, the first sign of danger.
.
This was the small quake that rippled us, holographic, into everything.

We all laughed, but silently. Nothing could see us, and we could see all.
.
"Premonition pre-dated predation, ill-fated, escaped it, saved it, another day, either way, our say, we play, games with the multiverse, inside out and reverse, coagulate and disperse."
.
The Hawk, on a branch, sat and looked confused.

The Sally Sci Ben Society for Intergalactic Connectedness is pleased to announce another group of 500 politicians have successfully completed therapy.

Only eight percent of the group show indications of PSB or Potential Spiritual Bypass. This however does not disqualify them from graduation, as they have wholeheartedly agreed to further guidance.

Test results for the group show propensity levels for hate, greed, prejudice, deception and power-over, as nil. Individual and group markers for ECC–empathy, compassion and cooperation–rose 42%, and will continue to rise during further soft-guidance sessions.

While protocol requires they remain quarantined on the Red Planet, they enjoy a thriving social environment, supported by colleagues who have also completed therapy.

Virtual fluorescent lights, virtual bottled water, virtual money and virtual gasoline are offered at regular intervals, as these provide a sense of safety, familiarity, and in some cases, sexual stimulation.
.
While advances in ECC therapy have yeilded astounding results, addiction to gasoline and money remains a challenging receptor to reprogram. As such, we wish to express our gratitude to our VR team, who have dedicated themselves to creating this acceptable, and thus far, successful workaround.

Since August 2020, more than seven million politicians, oligarchs, CEOs, lawyers, lobbyists and denialists have graduated from the program. This number continues to grow, as does the number of applicants to the program.
.
Remember, if you or someone you know could benefit from ECC then DMt us GPS. We will schedule scans, consultations, and if necessary, interventions.

Thank you and Good love,

The Sally Sci Ben Society for Intergalactic Connectedness

"No time to explain. Follow me. Trust me, we'll bend in. This way. We win. All of us. The up side, in here, out there, in-between, all these, crazy glowing, futuristic, shades of green, have you seen, the totally new, absolutely most, amazing thing?"
.
He repeated this, and the rest of his team echoed it, each time changing it all–slightly twisting, gently rearranging, always meaning essentially the same thing, always progressing into new and different lessons.

Complicated. Simple. Dizzying.

A captivating invocation nonetheless, and they were extremely convincing.
.
"Breathe deep, two worlds, at least, increase, we face, all directions, all sounds and slight tremors, even falling, hummingbird feathers, rain we know, we are water, as it gets, ever hotter, slow and low, on the ground, blend in, can't be found."
.
A united polyrythmic advancement, and it appeared that for every ten feet of ground gained, they evolved in small, deliberate ways. Barely perceptible, the changes apparent over time and it took me awhile to catch on.

There was a small quake. Telepathic nods, at once, through each. I was the last to get it. By then we had all become silent, invisible. Hidden amongst everything. Leaves, moss, trees, air, branches, roots.

Held.

Fortified.

Something was coming.

We had booked this Airbnb, open concept loft style, maybe 700 square feet. Slowly the place starts getting bigger, from apartment size to warehouse size to a giant complex. At the same time, it goes from just Laura and I, to more people—four, then 12, then maybe 50 people. I start thinking of the review I'll write, that this is more like a hotel then a private loft.

It all keeps growing to hundreds of people — students, teachers, staff. All crazy busy, running around and I'm just like "wtf is going on". I have mushrooms in my hand. One student is confused and tries to fight me, as he confronts me he gets taller and taller. I get away and meet up with one staff/teacher. As we ride some kind of trolly together, she explains to me that they are "getting into the field", the field of magic mushroom production.
.
There is some kind of presentation happening in a large auditorium. And it seems like the bad guy from The OA is in the front row, eagerly awaiting this presentation. Gives the whole thing a sinister tone, but I don't know for sure if it's him.
.
Some of the students have a certain role to play in all this. One in particular—the one who tried to fight me—is on stage. He eats a large mushroom.
.
Suddenly it's like Nikolai Tesla flipped a switch and arc lightning is coming from the student.

The audience is rapt. Whatever's going on it seems to be a success.

Woke to rain, fire, several cups of maté, six eggs, three cheese, two toast and for dessert, honey, blue, sun. Geared up for mud. Rode the Cruiser mostly downhill. Kicked the kickstand. Parked. Walked. Further down a steep hill. Up & down backroads. Round the shore.

Scouting leaves, branches, bones, feathers, driftwood, waves, tidal treasure. To the Nettles, where they'd stung before.
.
Gathered gently. Leaving plenty.
.
Back the way but different, filled the carboy in my backpack, with forest filtered beauty wild water springing forth with which to brew the Nettles. Backtrack up a steep one, to the Cruiser, hopped and rolled.

After half a dip of easy going and now I'm going ever slowly slightly uphill, even with the weight of water's flowing pendulum momentum the hill is just to big to beat.

Hop off. Push on.

Final little roll, and Home.

Flop.

Daze

Water.

Figure, I'm already muddy so — continue the muddy, heavy, rainy, hard, good, healthy work. Lace up the barefoot boots, machete at the ready.

Move four trees.

Hack the wayward stray and broken smaller branches here and there from off the bucked up Alder, left by friends gifting future fires.

Rescued rounds from mucky grips—the kind that make a sound, when you lift and lug and throw and carry peace by piece on over, through and up to drier higher ground.
.
Twilight comes as cover and I'm covered muddy. Back inside to fire. And to strip.

Flop.

Daze.

Dark.

Slow, toast, beat, tired. Feeling a bit beast.

Rest

Deeper night and now to brew the plants I've gathered gently. I want fire in this wild water, so on the top: the kettle, and in the box: Fir. Fresh air of a windy eve. Ablaze, and wait for simmer.
.
Two handfuls of this Gaian goodness, fusion overnight.
.
Dreamland invites.

I arrive there with electric fingers. Liminal little linger, two amphibious little singers slowly crank and wind and draw the bridge, and bring the day to close.

Rose

To mysterious orinthology, fire, wood, necessities. Strong cups of the Nettle tea.
.
A new season begins.
The plants, they always win.

Another Small Organic Spacecraft has crash landed in remote forest. Date of occurrence is undetermined.

Craft appears to be hollow, with significant water damage, while outer shell remains intact. Others of similar design and condition are present nearby. All show signs of significant entanglement with point of impact, as is typical for these craft.

Likely part of the so-called alien drone landings, or ADL. Reports of similar craft have been increasing across the planet in both urban and sylvan environments.

While other craft have been observed sending millions of smaller drones into our atmosphere, so far nothing has emerged from these newly discovered, apparently rare, craft of a deep and bright red hue.

Locals report on quiet nights one can hear a sound coming from these crafts, like a woman singing the words "ray she".
.
Officials believe these sounds to be homing beacons and are very busy tracking the signals.

Remember, if you find similar craft that you suspect may be an ADL, then DDD: Do not be afraid. Document it thoroughly. DMt us it's precise location.

Thank you and good luck.

Thick, dark, rich, bright, lively, invigorating, satisfying and very special. This resinous syrup is made from the young green cones of old Douglas Fir trees that live on the shores of the Salish Sea.

It brings a powerful boost of Spring, in flavour, vibe and energy, and is a potent Winter protector, especially for all things bronchial.

Imagine if trees flew around making honey, instead of bees — this is that.

Was time to roll, a storm rockin' in. Some kinda snowy hurricane. Packed brim with food and gear we set out. Drove right into the whirlwind. But– never touched it. Danced around it.

Strategization of a mega triple tango triangulation nature — watching skies, screens, clouds, patterns, weather, wind, radar, roads, webcams, snowplows, avalanches, daylight, waves, ferries, and cheap airbnb spots. All in advance and all on the fly. As all things can change quickly.

We drove during lulls, hunkered down as necessary. Cruised clearly all the way.

While general mayhem happened elsewhere.

And we arrived, safe and sound and absolutely superb, to smiles and hugs and a hot wood stove, sourdough on the way, and snow.

Hunkered down as necessary.
