I might be a bit of both. I was remarking to Stevo recently about how I’ve tried to read some classic literature and it bored me to tears. I also can’t really appreciate modern art, although I like the old masters. Does that make me a philistine? Maybe. I also think I’m a semi-Luddite because I like the old-school ways. However, I do enjoy my iPod immensely. I’m a music lover, and I enjoy being able to carry my music and listen to it anywhere. It makes those boring chores like weeding and stacking wood go so much faster. I’ve come to believe that technology has it’s place in the world if it’s used wisely and productively. There’s lots of technology I do without because I’m just not interested.
It’s funny that being involved with orgonite and fighting the NWO has given me a really different perspective on things. I don’t really care much about things I used to worry about, and things that most PJ people spend their lives talking about and fighting about. I’m much more interested in the etheric state of the world. I guess we all have our jobs on the planet and one of mine is to help wake people up.
Speaking of old school, I recently learned how to make lotion, salve and shampoo from organic herbs and oils, and with no chemicals. It’s fantastic! This weekend I’m going to learn how to make soap. Maybe it will become part of my business, or it might just be for my own fun. I guess it’s the Luddite in me. Did you know that there are 700 known carcinogens allowed in cosmetics? (statistic courtesy of Stevo) It’s as easy to make your own lotion as it is to make cake frosting! Get one of Rosemary Gladstar’s books and have at it. I’m also starting to harvest herbs that are growing wild on my property. It’s almost time to harvest the rosehips (great source of Vitamin C) to make tea and rosehips oil, which can be used in salves and lotions. I’ve finally turned my black thumb to green! Next year I plan to grow a lot more herbs in my garden, and then I’ll just ascend to Earth Mother status and be totally obnoxious! Ha ha!
