In the midst of the intense energy crisis - Earth Changes -that is exploding worldwide, we are achieving a humble goal of saying NO to nuclear power and mountain top coal mining, which are the two primary sources of electricity in this area. Our lights have come on through the power of the Sun!!! The photo above shows the lit up ceiling fan, and through no intentional planning, the Taino petroglyph of the Sun is in the background on a canvas over the window, which incidentally faces South, the same directions as our solar panels.
It need become no more clear to anyone upon this planet that the conventional methods of generating electricity are destroying life, not matter how much the top execs, governments and media try to downplay the problems. From the oil leaking for 3 months last year in only one of the many oil leaks that have gone on and continue to go on, to the devastation of mountains through aggressive and dirty coal mining practices, to this latest explosion of dirty energy with the nuclear plant meltdowns and the poisoning of the Oceans with radioactive water, the placing of material gain above spiritual principles has driven this situation to a point of posing a real deadly threat to life itself upon our Mother Earth within a period of only hundreds of years, endangering a development of life that has taken billions of years. This in and of itself is a crime against all of life.
And even while this evil enters its death spasms seeking to take all life with it, voices of not only protest but also action have been arising from all around the globe. We are not so grandious to think that our unplugging from the grid will be but a drop in the gourd, but we do know that it will not be a drop in the basket, for the basket leaks water, and the gourd does not. It is in spite of the energy of ridicule that has been thrown in our direction more than once, that we have persisted in our battle to make different choices and to lighten our footsteps upon our Mother Earth. For us it is more than a material choice, it is a spiritual choice and it is a way for us to project our voice into the spiritual world, letting the Misterios know that not only do we disagree through words with the devilish way Mother Earth is being attacked but that we also disagree through actions and through the many sacrifices and headaches that it has taken to make this a reality, because it was not easy to pull this together, the battle was not only material but also spiritual. Ironically (or not) our lights have turned on at the same time as rolling blackouts are hitting Japan and at the same time as radiation from Fukushima is flooding the entire planet, making clear the point that our off grid PV system is not a "cool gadget, novelty, or luxury" but an absolute necessity and that we made the right choice in going the harder road to a sustainable form of energy rather than just hooking into the - cheaper in dollar but far more expensive in cost of life- grid.
With the powering up of our PV system, we become far more conscious and considerate of our energy usage. We are embracing this change of consciousness and change of lifestyle because it is the way to make our humble contribution to the future of Life, whether it is in the material world or spiritual world. There was a point upon Mother Earth when the sheer amount of radiation did not permit life, and that time may come about again through the devilish actions of a small number of evil people upon this earth and the ignorance and powerlessness of many. As people of tradition, we know that the material world is a manifestation of a much greater world, the spiritual world, and that our choices in the material world also are inscribed within the spiritual world. We all have to face that spiritual world upon our Death, there are no exclusions, and at that point we will truly see the depth and relevance of our actions.
Meanwhile, we have been working for a long time to make this a reality and we are greatly appreciating the transformation of Sun Power to House Power!
