Snowshoeing for Qigong Meditation in the Forest for Spring Mushrooms: Only 6 spots left for the annual $50=50 tons Forest Cultivation Energy Emptiness EcoEcho donations

 Qigong Meditation in the Forest for Spring Mushrooms

Yes I have been thrilled so far with the support (just donate whatever you want) - in part for my 20 years of free research! (you can do the math if you want - spread that donation out over 20 years). haha.

Wow I actually "tied" 4 PAIRS of these same shoes - back over 30 years ago with my father's help at our nearby state forest. I just gave an unfinished pair to my farm friend family (he needs to put the stain-varnish and also find bindings somehow).

I have gotten "feedback" - and again feel free to email me at ecoechocultivation a t g male - so if you want to donate and offer me any feedback or a photo, questions, etc. Of course you do not HAVE to email me.

As I mentioned a month or 2 back - I am pretty much "done" with my research. Sure I still do some new research but it's not the real intense stuff. So if you have enjoyed my research a bit then maybe you similarly want to donate based on my 20 years of free research.

As I mentioned before I will be taking photos of the mini-forest to send to people if they email me and request it, with the donation, of course. It may not be much to see in the winter now but it's "real." A recent edition - of our Minnesota conservation magazine notes a 5 acre woods is being called a "teaching forest." Pretty cool. So I don't have to feel too cheesy calling the same size of woods a "mini-forest."

Yes my plan then is to go up this week but instead of shoveling out tons of snow so I can "park" the car I use - NO - I'll just Snow Shoe into the forest!! So I'll just cut the trees real quick - should only take a couple hours I suppose at most. No point in "fighting" Mother Nature. I just need some trees cut to then inoculate with Shiitake mycelium then in a month or so.

This is just a "mini" version of snow-shoes only 3 inches tall! The real things are NOT cheap $250 (even the vintage style).

The trees need to have their cellular life break down and dry out - lack of water - so they are ready for the shiitake shroom mycelium that EATS decaying tree. But the trees can't be TOO dry. So it's a kind of balancing act indeed. They need about 30% moisture content remaining - so starting to crack on the ends. But just small cracks. Also the trees can't be too wet - like if they start shooting up new branches or something. So then I'll just put them up off the ground - also if there's any other competition taking over.

Yes I have kept on doing "free research" - and I enjoy it - thanks to the help of other researchers. So if you've been enjoying the research I've posted - and want to donate for that reason - you would not be alone.

People do read this blog (and my previous http://ecoechoinvasives.blogspot.com ) from all over the world but then people also use apps to block or redirect their browser location or whatever.

I have not noticed SAIC reading the blog - which is the CIA contract for doing paranormal research. haha. They used to read my blog regularly and in fact I offered myself up for "tests" if they wanted to pay me a lucrative "consulting" fee. They could run brain scans on me, etc. It could be interesting. It would definitely be Freaky!! For both them and me. But actually I'm really not interesting in being that kind of guinea pig as I know the limitations of science and also my skills need improving. I was just joking.

Where they all running off to?

I am not afraid to admit that my "errors" in qigong training made me into a freak. But then that is why I am doing the forest cultivation - to help fix my previous errors. Or maybe to become even more of a freak? Like a Spiral - the path is returning back to intensive meditation.
Yes that is really the whole point - to just have a bit of donation for the "forest cultivation" - be it the stewardship of the forest or the meditation stewardship - and so I will plan to drive back depending on gas money every so often (depending on my extended family's needs) - so that will cover the cost a bit. But I saw a youtube vid titled - how to live off $500 a year! It was a channel I had watched before - an RV camper person. So this is a similar situation. And the forest really does have great oxygen from the trees - and so it really does SINK or CAPTURE the carbon pollution from about 10 small cars a year (about 50 tons of CO2 pollution a year).

The great thing about the hardwood I will be using - Speckled Alder - is that it grows faster after it's been cut - so my rotation of 10 trees a year (greater than 3 inches diameter) will easily grow back. I currently have 100 trees over 3 inches diameter of Speckled Alder. Of course there are other way bigger trees - the Tamaracks are the dominant old big trees - along with some pines. The willows are the other main "invasive" succession trees (younger and faster growing). So sure there is a lot of shrub or thicket type growth in the forest - but over time that will also produce bigger trees as well.

And of course if people want to donate for the mushroom CSA "spot" - again none of these donations guarantee anything. We have to trust in the Emptiness Ecology Energy to do the work for us - to "nourish" the Qi of the Emptiness - let the Emptiness nourish us!!

Hopefully 2020 spring will bring a good mushroom harvest. Since we are now officially in "eco-apocalypse" times - who knows what the Emptiness will bring! I will be ordering the mycelium straw dust spawn, plus the inoculation tool and the waxing tool - in a few weeks. Should be fun.

But I know from my past experiments that I grew some awesome shiitake shrooms that people loved to eat. Also I know that people could feel the energy from the Emptiness - when I meditated 8 hours a day in full lotus, visualizing light and love. I saw lots of bright blue and purple light.

So it's a good combo (meditation and mushrooms) since the shrooms are medicinal to increase the qi energy - the shiitake shrooms are anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti (everything bad) - plus full of good complete protein, and iron, Vitamin D (from sun growing and drying), and lots of great trace minerals and vitamins. Yes there are secret magical medicinal properties of Shiitake shrooms. The same with the Forest meditation. So I'll have Spring Forest Qigong meditation Spring Forest mushrooms!

Yes so it has been a fascinating 20 years of online "free research." Of course some of the research was "field research." haha. And I did do a tentative compilation in 2012 (free pdf) - right after Fukushima I guess. So when I say tentative in 2012 because that was 1) Before I had returned back to the Taoist Yoga: alchemy and immortality book to study it in further detail 2) Before I had been "befriended" by the teaching assistant of Spring Forest qigong master chunyi Lin,
So then after 2012 I also discovered Fields Math professor Alaine Connes' music lecture - that corroborated my "complementary opposites" music math meditation model really was the same as his noncommutative phase unified field theory model. I had suspected as such from reading his work back around 2004. But I wasn't sure how "metaphorical" it was and so when he busted out the music theory directly, that was a "case closed" situation. It is quite amazing that hardly any other music theorists notice nor emphasize this noncommutative phase origin of music theory.

As I said - I even did two ORIGINAL math-music calculations to corroborate my model. Sure I could "compile" this new research into a new book or something - IF someone wanted to pay me to do it. haha. Otherwise I doubt there would be much of an audience for subject matter that is so abstract and esoteric.

Then I discovered Eddie Oshins connecting the noncommutative phase logic back to Daoist Neigong. So there it was (I had already connected Daoist philosophy to the music theory) - and then finally Lawrence Domash, quantum physics prof. connecting the noncommutative phase logic to the music quantum meditation - the mantras - and to the Josephson Effect. I had already connected the "three gunas" to the music theory as meditation. And then I continued doing San Bushmen research as well.

So it is quite amazing how my music mysticism project that I secretly launched in the 80s - while I had studied music privately in high school - finally all came together. So literally 30 plus years of research. It's been a life long project but I still have not done the "five years of silence" required to be a real Orthodox Pythagorean. haha. Of course my research was mainly for my own curiosity - and so this is why I posted all my research free online - to get critical feedback, to "keep me honest." So there is nothing more critical than the feedback of your peers. haha.

It is quite strange that I practiced piano with lessons for 12 years!! Starting from age 5. Then 10 years after that, I then did intensive qigong meditation for 6 months while it took me another 20 years to "figure out" what I had gotten myself into!! haha. So 20 years does not seem "that" long considering I have not even really played piano that much despite having taken 12 years of lessons!!

So I have plenty more to do in terms of Meditation. But considering in Tibetan Buddhism, the monks have to do 3 years of solid book study before any real serious meditation - and continue on like that for life - it's not too upsetting to have devoted so much time to research. Even still qigong master Chunyi Lin said how the monks got diabetes from thinking and sitting too much!!

So when I sit at the computer I am in full lotus yoga position. And then I do every night - "moving of yin and yang" plus more "small universe" meditation. Then in the morning I do some standing exercise a bit but then some "small universe" meditation - depending on the circumstances. Of course my plan is to build up more standing and more sitting meditation. So when I am at the computer I can then "feel" energy through the interwebs - and people sometimes reporting being able to "feel" my energy as well. But again this is really just the Emptiness mediating any energy connections. So it truly is the Ecology of Emptiness Energy.

Anyway the forest cultivation scenario will be quite different indeed. So if you want to be "part of it" - even just from your own perspective - even if you don't send me any email (that is ok).

Yes the Emptiness is always full of surprises - as Yogananda described it:

Evernew and Everfresh.
