This is a wonderfull story Burgundia ...one that reminds of true exchange between people and solidarity .
In order to receive we have to give and that when we have we should give too.
Thank you for sharing

Talking Re: Living without money- a real story...

Great links thank you. Yes this is a big part of the awakening isn't it?

I have a personal success story to share, to show how possible it is. Growing up as a city slicker I had never gardened before. I started a garden this summer without bothering to take any formal training, or even read how to do it. I just did it, and cared for it like a loving pet, and like a pet, it mirrored my love back.
I went 2 months without going to a grocery store, aside from the odd snack that is. My garden was roughly 20ft by 40ft (smaller then many lawns) and there was so much food that I had problems giving it away. It is winter here now, but next year I will be growing 20x as much and also canning to hopefully keep me fed through out the year so a grocery store will be a thing of the past.

It really is that simple, the hard part can be finding the spot though, getting out of the city is key!

Here is another video that someone posted that relates to this thread:

This is a quote from the website linked by wyomiles. Great stuff.

Before our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You can’t have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we had no thieves. If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him these things. We were too uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a man’s worth couldn’t be measured by it. We had no written law, no attorney or politicians, therefore we couldn’t cheat. We were in a really bad way before the white man came, and I don’t know how we managed to get along without the basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a civilized society.

I used to worry about carbs and protiens and all that, in fact I'm a long distance runner so I used to be borderline obsessed with nutrition. But I came to realize like everything else we are taught today by the mainstream, its all bs.

Just eat living/raw/uncooked vegetables of any type and you will get all the energy you need, all the vitamins, proteins, carbs, and whatever other stuff they come up with to distract us from the ease of it all.

I'm a raw juicer so I grew a lot of kale and carrots. I also grew lettuce, Hierloom tomatoes (yummy!), melons, although they got some sort of mold so I didn't eat them . I grew green onions, cantelopes, peas, beans, and I'm sure I missed a few.

I used to be a hardcore meat eater but since I went full vegetarian (something I thought I'd never do in my younger days) I have never been healthier.
Meat is a lie, I don't care what facts people try and bring in, no one needs it, it is unhealthy to both the mind and body, and of course the poor animals and out planet.. it is a temptation like porn, not so healthy but enjoyable in one sense or another.

But this thread of course is not about that, and I always say to each his own. But really, any greens will do. Kale packs quite a punch compared to other greens when it comes to vitamin amounts, and so does wheat grass, which is a little trickier to grow.

I just went to the local garden shop and went through all the seed varieties, and picked and choose what I wanted to eat. It is amazing how many vegetables one can grow that you rarely will see in a grocery store.

I'm still astounded at how I put this tiny little seeds in the ground and within a month I had more then I can eat.
