Can you guys share info/ links about where in the country is the best places for homesteading, with the ability to avoid taxation? Or what defenses can we offer to not pay taxes on our own property...

Living FREEDOM! / Re: Got any advice for living the dream life?

« on: June 19, 2016, 12:24:24 PM »

Taylor, and all: the irony of "living the dream" is that the dream happens when we are asleep. I think all of us are in the process of waking up. We are only living freely in relation to the amount we are awake. So if we spen all of our time dreaming of what life could be, we are fully asleep, and thus still fully plugged into the matrix/ enslaved.

I think, therefore I am. You choose your happiness. You can choose to be happy right now, regardless of your external environment. You can still be enslaved to a job, taxes, rules and regulations, yet be happy. Living out your happiness now, that means bringing forth your love from an inward state to an outward expression in what you say and do will change your outward environment. As your internal happiness reaches critical mass, then you shed internal chains and become free. As your internal freedom/ level of awakeness hit critical mass, your happiness erupts outwardly and begins to change your surroundings. As your surroundings are impacted by your love and happiness, you become more and more free from the physical chains.

Matt- Even those of us who are married are free to move off grid. You can move individually, which may cause disruption to the marriage, but does that equal violence against your spouse? It may be the catalyst to their awakening. Should a person remain trapped/ chained/ unfree in a relationship because the fear of living freely will cause the mate to abandon them?

The Philosophy of Freedom/Libertarianism/Doctrine of free will / Re: Is it moral to take a federal grant?

But doesn't that add to the "demand" for more taxes? Or in other words, we are demanding the gunmen steal more money to pay for not just their bombs to send into hospitals around the world, but also to pay us for whatever we got them to agree to pay.

Is it moral for me to rob my neighbors houses so I can pay to build a playground in the neighborhood? Nope. What if I hired some thugs to rob the neighborhood and they only get a cut of the action so I could still build the playground? Still immoral. Why is doing it through the government any different?

As for morality being tied to survival: I fundamentally disagree. We are meant to Thrive, not merely survive. Survival implies a struggle to exist or continuing to exist. But through a life of love, or as Adam put in in his book, happiness, we can then live freely. Freely living isn't simply surviving, it's thriving.

The Philosophy of Freedom/Libertarianism/Doctrine of free will / Re: Moral Theory of Non-aggression

I think you have some semantic obstructions in this. Labeling your theory Moral... But then describing that it doesn't speak to what is moral seems contradictory. If instead you incorporated the word Morality into the naming it would alleviate this contradiction.

Also the scope of the theory in incredibly small. How it currently reads, the four points listed are the only immoral actions on earth. What about neglect/ negligence? A person neglects their property (land and natural resources) by negligently dumping/ polluting them. Their waste and pollution then pollutes, destroys, contaminates, and informs the neighboring resources and or population... Just a few thoughts.
