All anyone had to do, was say, "no, thank you". I did, plenty of times.

I like that MMY brought out his Vedic perspective on all this stuff, but I don't see enough value there, to chase it. Nor do I think that is why he spoke about it. Each Vedic tuning, on each domain of living, whether housing, health, astrology, or music, wasn't, imo, meant to become some absolute edict, or supreme way to live, on the way to the truth, or enlightenment. But, since he was always taken so seriously, all Maharishi had to do was comment on something, and his most ardent followers became rather severe about implementing it, whatever it was. The Vedic architecture houses I have seen pictures of, are pretty damned ugly, for starters - at best, completely unimaginative. I like integrating what I learned, and learn, from Maharishi into a full life; my life, vs. filling in a rather humdrum life, by focusing awkwardly, and a little too intensely, on what Maharishi said.

If something is difficult, I'll back off and try later, or I'll push ahead a little harder, regardless of which way my planets are spinning. Common sense, and staying intelligently active, bypasses an awful lot of this analysis-paralysis. From: "dhamiltony2k5@...

You know, if in case it is out of alignment from the previous owners or has poor influences of anything? Around here spiritual people use combinations of the John Douglas Location Repair CD, or chant or play the Sri Suktam. It is an effective way of clearing any area. Karunamayi and others have nice recitations of the Sri Suktam on CD or download.

I can ask around get links for referral. We've used house clearing on properties to obvious and good result. Is this property in the foothills, elevated, wooded, facing what direction, have a stream nearby, just wondering? Could it be fenced for horses? Sheep or cattle? You know, make it more productive like the bible says. Mineral extraction possibilities? Oh yes in property management, you know you can keep as many animals on a property as you can haul feed and water to them. The shit flows downhill. There is a lot of spiritual people here interested in aqua-culture now as a concentrated feeding operation alternative to livestock. I look forward to your enlightened journal about homesteading in nature. -Buck fleetwood_macncheese writes: No need, Richard, there is already a lovely new house on the property, with landscaping and a pool. The acreage is 2+. This is the wild stuff, in back of the already done stuff.

My wife and I will probably end up in this home that includes a full acre and a half of woods. There are cougars, deer, coyotes, rabbits and other wildlife there. I am already planning to build a structure, or ten, in the woods. I am interested in either a cave type dwelling, built at least halfway underground, or a tree house. Perhaps a blind to observe nature. I have also thought of a Disneyesque area, where I could build scenes using mannequins, posed and dressed in the woods. My daughter says it is too creepy, so we'll see. > The first thing you want to do is take the family on a few camping trips. That way you can see how they behave in the wilderness or out in the back of beyond. One overnight camping trip in the rough should do it, and then you'll probably know if this is even feasible or not. You can take a travel trailer to sleep in some water to drink. You can start digging a water well at any point. The next thing you have to do is set the latrine. In some cases, you will have to rely on a cesspool. Unless you live near a rural road, you might not be able to get piped in water and plumbed out effluent. The first few days can be a challenge. > Life is for living. I know there are those who denigrate a creative and artistic lifestyle, preferring instead to sit indoors, basically criticizing everything, and taking the dogs for a daily shit. That to me, is a living death, like being buried alive. Anyway, I am excited about the architectural possibilities in front of me. > At first, you will be needing to get a gasoline generator out there to power the tools. One of the first things you have to do when building in the country is to access electricity.
