I'd like to go back to Hawaii.
I'd be traveling all over the world right now if it wasnt for the man keeping me here.

Havent read the thread because its late and I am a lazy fucker, just the OP.

I live in Puna for a year, crazy shit. Also live at an eco-village, possibly the same one, Jesus still running stuff down there?

Long live the Punatics!


Edit: read the first two pages, same place. Stayed there two months, awesome awesome experience. Did some aya journeys there, as well as other psy's which seem to float freely with the weed. I loved all the great food A would cook up, Raw Jah still going on? Awesome "sa-lads"

I haven't noticed overt racism anywhere other then Waipi'o.  You gotta be more careful there. 

Otherwise all people I meet are wonderful

Hey, brother!  Yep, Jesus still runs the place!  Fruit trees going crazy.  Morning yoga sessions...life is good there at the village. 

Puna is such a wild place, eh? ...love it!

I agree with Akira, communal living is no more 'Free' than living in modern society, it just creates the illusion of freedom because certain everyday luxuries are expelled(or suspended it seems) from the equation. You're still subject to the laws of the land and a code of ethics and morals from the community, whether you adhere simultaneously to their principles or not, you're still under their legislation.

Your chances of obtaining freedom on planet earth is scant, my recommendations would be to acquire a mode of intergalactic space travel and live on an earth-like planet in the Andromeda Galaxy, which is no more a fairy tale than living free in a commune in Hawaii.

*Reality Check*

LOL

It felt a lot more free to me...so little work, so much more play. 

I worked 4 hours a week max taking vines off banana trees and the rest of the time I came and went as I pleased

But I left the commune because adventuring in the jungle is the most free-feeling experience I've had, way better.

Nice! We met last year in Hilo in the hostel after we both moved down from Alaska (worked across the street from each other but never met).

Ended up backpacking and traveling all over the island for a while. My experiences on the island and the people I met really shifted my course in life. I loved to go down to the east point of the island by the light house and sit out on the rocky deserted coast and just look. At times the whales and dolphins would jump on by, and turtles would eat from the sea walls. Amazing!

Oh so many breath taking places all over the island I could go on for hours. If you haven't been to green sands yet it is well worth the visit. Having the beach to yourself with just the turtles to swim with at dawn is purdy cool.

Now I am all nostalgic for the island life. Enjoy it :smile:

i gotta admit, i feel the same sentiment, but i can say, at least, that you're not just assuming i am shitting on your ideal of freedom, just for asking questions and sharing my opinion... so there is that; that i must commend too.

Not nearly enough.
But the human body can get by on next to nothing as long as you have water.
