As for Arthur's great Invisible Rainbow, short sessions are a good idea for many of us. Although via audio, i could hardly believe how quickly (and raptly!) i finished the book! With a book like his, I actually like to have both written & audio. I am so glad he initiated a substack so his current articles get much wider circulation now.
I was stoked to see him join substack too, he'll definitely reach more people.
There are at least 3 families I know who know wifi is dangerous. All 3 still use it, Family A and B turn it off when I'm at their houses, C would too but there are others relying on it that's currently out of their control. Family A and C use anti emf things and proclaim their homes safe (they aren't). Family B has many beautiful young children, that are frequently sick :( , and is also line of sight on some hefty power pylons. Even with their modem turned off, I get significant symptoms in their house.
These 3 families know it's not a good thing, but haven't really grasped the gravity of the problem yet. Family B, with the young kids, are planning to ditch their wifi in the next few months, progress :)
No one I know is willing to even contemplate ditching their cell phones, but maybe down the line . . . who knows.
I like that quote ''be the change you want to see in the world''. I make a point of saying I don't have my phone on me ever anymore. I set the expectation with people that I'm not immediately contactable. It lives at home (as far away from me as I can get it) and I check it once or twice a day. I have a certain situation in my life right now that prevents me ditching it entirely, but that problem will resolve soon enough. I tell people what we're doing to de-tech our lives and talk about how sick it all makes me. If we tell our stories, people might start to recognize the signs in their own lives.
How do you go online? Wired laptop? I find even wired laptops hit me very hard :/
I wish my very techy stepson could begin to understand a major cause of his headaches and numerous other health conditions.
About going online, I have a laptop in another room 13 ft away from where i sit at my table-desk with a 27" diagonal monitor, large enough so i can sit 3 or 4 ft from it. I also have an extended keyboard and mechanical mouse on the desk (i felt very unwell and could hardly stand using the computer before when i was near the actual laptop, but am okay for extended periods with this set-up).
I have Comcast cable to my router which has no wireless capabilities. And i had my tech guy take the 'wireless card' out of my computer so the wireless cannot be turned back on when they update. Plus my older Canon printer has no wireless capabilities (rare these days). I have an old-style AT&T phone (thankfully still available on amazon) with a 50 ft cord, and my house is small. Plus a same style AT&T phone/answering machine. They are both inexpensive (less than $40). Sorry this is so technical.
Wishing you well in this escalating and challenging situation.
Wow! Thank you so much for that very helpful information!
I hope your stepson eventually connects the dots. My teen gets understands, but still loves the techy life during time at their dads house. It's hard when they're young and feel invincible.
I can't do normal work either, which is why I'm working so hard on off grid traditional life skills. I need some way contribute to our family finances, and the growing parallel society.
Do you manage much of a social life? Mine was almost zero until recently. I started venturing out into our community as part of our family contributing to the parallel society growing here. I'm extremely grateful such a thing is going on, but it's been rough.
I am glad to hear the parallel society is growing near you and that you can participate to some degree. What off grid skills are you learning? As far as social life, well - for me the gain isn't worth the pain [i have tried] so i avoid nearly all social events, even shopping, aside from a weekly trip to a small grocery which i time to avoid most customers and their phones. Tomorrow is a friend's memorial - he was an acupuncturist, so knew a lot about energetic medicine, but like everyone else, carried a cellphone and didn't understand the wireless destruction of health/life (i tried to warn him). The event will be large. I will go, but depending on how RF-bad it is there, i will stay only long enough to pay my respects - probably 15 to 30 minutes max. I rarely even go to my friends' houses (they come here) because either their own in-house gear isn't totally off (and they don't know it or know how) or their neighbors are blasting their premises with their gear. I used to be pretty social, but actually don't really miss it. I like quiet time, and this enforced new lifestyle is giving me more of it. (:
Gosh your life sounds nice to me. I'm naturally a reserved home body, but I have young homeschooled kids that need socializing and they need a future society to participate in, so I'm forcing myself into painful / disabling situations to build connection. I try to ride the line as best I can, so I don't end up in full body paralysis again. I'm hoping once the parallel society is fully formed, and I've developed relationships within it, then I can pull back to my own environment. I don't want my kids forced into toxic jobs in a crumbling society, so my husband and I are helping them choose and develop essential (off grid) skills for the new society. We're so incredibly fortunate we accidently moved to an area where many think like we do and were already in the middle of starting to move away from the current systems.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It really sucks aye :(
Good luck at his memorial, it really is an EMF storm out there these days.
Skills I've been learning:
> Cooking efficiently without electricity
Going very well.
> Food preservation without electricity
Nearly there, I need to set up something specific that I can't in our current living space. When we move, that will be sorted. The only gap will be glass jars, I don't knowhow to make them and glass blowing is not something I see myself doing.
> Seed saving
I've got most annual crops down.
> Growing food
Not for fun, to meet as many of our caloric needs as possible, so high calorie crops.
> Wool craft
I just learned how to carve a nalbinding needle (made two, one for me, one for my eldest child) and how to use it to nalbind. I've made wrist warmers for 2 of us so far, working on another set now. Wool socks next. I also got a wool spinner, which I'm hoping to get to learning next. Wool has helped me tremendously with EMF exposure. I'm going to venture into 2nd hand shops to gather more wool blanket, some for bedding, some to sew into winter clothes (a fellow homeschool mum is going to teach me basic sewing pattern use). Hand sew, as sewing machines hit me too hard with EMF. I'm considering getting or making a loom, to make wool blankets from scratch.
> Flax craft
We have a special kind of flax here in New Zealand that can be crafted into textiles and woven into bags/baskets. I have no idea how to do this yet, but it's on my list to find someone to teach me.
> Candle making
The hand dipping method with pure local beeswax. Still trying to figure out how to make a serviceable wick from natural materials in my area.
I'm generally a DIY, figure things out sort of person, so I've been working my way through essential things we need to survive. Then I began working on learning the skills required to take care of those needs. It's slow going, but we're getting there :)
Thanks, we all need take our power back. They can only control us if we're helpless without them.
I spent a long time trying to figure out a method to cook that would use the least resources possible. Of course in winter we can cook on top of our fireplace, but there is still the rest of the year to contend with.
My method literally uses twigs and a version of a rocket stove. This is the one I use:
It's quite unstable on its own, so I have it on a large tile, with bricks around it in a u shape. Then I popped a BBQ grill place on the top, which helps keep the temperature more consistent.
I can take it a step further with a neat idea at one of the recent parallel society meet ups. A lovely couple have tried out and succeeded cooking using a cast iron pot with cast iron lid, bringing the food up to a rolling boil (soups and stews are ideal this way), then placing the pipping hot pot into a polystyrene bin layered with carpet underlay and straw, to keep the heat in. It slow cooks the food over hours. I'd seen videos on YouTube ages ago with similar methods, but not seen it done in person until then. It would cut down my active cook time by around 20-30minutes, saving lots of twigs :)
I went to find a video of something similar to link, but of course YouTube has buried that sort of content now and I can't find any.
Hi Kiwi, my wife and I love this series, it's not polystyrene, but does the trick. It's a cooking method used during WW2 to save on fuel. Check out the 27 minute mark: https://youtu.be/fnbq7vNUUUw?si=ewVjz0ZNmzW4nIff
I've been watching a few episodes of that series you linked. It's very well produced and interesting. I can see a lot ways they used war to initiate much of the control systems we are been screwed over with today.
I had a little bit of a cry seeing the eyes of that man who lived next to the farmer who was murdered for not complying with the impossible demands of the war ag, and not willing to give up his farm. Shame on that interviewer for trying to make it sound justified. That man elderly man knew it was wrong. And we've seen that sort of crap repeat itself over and over.
Full body paralysis! how did you cope? It sounds like you are learning an amazing number of crucial skills - wow. How cold is it where you live in NZ? Wool helps me too; i wear it most of the time, and use it in bed. I crochet a lot and knit, but never had heard of nalbinding before.
Wool craft is so helpful, it's awesome that you already have that skill :)
Our winters are fairly cold, but no snow in our area. It's a damp cold where we are, so fire is important. Does it get very cold where you are?
Paralysis is tricky. I've had these episodes my whole life, so I don't know anything different. I suspect I was poisoned in some way in utero or at birth (neither being straight forward) and my body has struggled with energy production since.
It's a strange kind of paralysis, it's not nerve damage (thankfully), more that my body shuts down all non life essential function to conserve energy. I even lose automatic breathing and need to intentionally breathe. The peak of the episodes last anywhere from a few minutes, to a few hours, with full movement recovery taking hours to days (weeks on rare occasions). I drink small amounts of plain black organic coffee if it gets really bad.
Possibly my mitochondria get too depleted and my body does what's needed to keep me alive while they recharge. I don't know, I'm guessing. I've seen a huge number of docs and all kinds of natural health practitioners, none have a clue how this happens to me.
At least I know how to manage it. If I keep my EMF exposure low (getting almost impossible now), eat a lot of quality calories (especially raw milk), avoid chemicals, be outdoors as much as possible (including sleeping outside), and don't do too much physically, I'm still disabled, but I can sort of get by. This is why I feel so strongly about EMF, it literally zaps the life right out of me.
Thankfully I'm blessed with a fully awake, caring, husband :)

Hi Kiwi, amazing progress! Curious - how have you been cooking food without electricity? Over an open flame, pit, castiron with coals on top?
Thanks, we all need take our power back. They can only control us if we're helpless without them.

Such a great way to conserve resources.
