Development Timeline

The Ministry of Life will develop in stages in order to address the current uncertain environment and the threat of food shortages that are planned for 2025. There is, of course, the possibility that the food shortages will not occur, but our first few seasons will be dedicated to preparing for that possibility and, if that eventuality never comes to fruition, as we hope and pray, the ministry will be very well positioned to proceed to the next stage of our mission.

Each Ministry of Life sanctuary, guided by the wisdom of the Stewards, will be granted the freedom to pursue any of our 7 pillars. The manner in which our society has chosen to pursue diversity is misguided-it lacks a fundamental understanding of diversity and specialization in nature and instead tries to impose its own construct that is decidedly unnatural. Every living thing plays a role in the symphony of life and every non-living thing plays a key role in the construction of the instruments. We believe that every being has their part and that specialization is the key to social unity. Certain properties will be better suited to, housing the homeless, for instance, or for large scale, less intensive management than Eber will require. Every advancement and purchase within our ecosystem will be voted upon by our token holding members in a vision of true democracy, practiced by producers. There are many unknowns with such an ambitious and novel experiment, but we can provide a general outline of what we will be focusing on at Eber.

Year 1: This year will see the intensive development of Eber, with fencing and livestock, irrigation, garden beds, the seeding of tree transplants and the construction of both support facilities and natural buildings for use in our natural birthing, homeschooling and maternity support missions. During this phase, vegetable production will begin but we will not actively sell any vegetables. Instead, we will focus on fermenting and preserving our vegetable production to be placed in storage for the possibility of food shortages in 2025. During this time, the public will be invited to join in on the farm build to receive Shiloh tokens and we will develop a team of builders who can use the skills gained in building Eber to begin scouting out additional properties to expand the MoL. We will also begin exploring the creation of the Shiloh Non-Voting token that could be used to purchase farm goods and services in the event that cash becomes very scarce or the introduction of a CBDC with negative conditions is introduced and people seek a way to procure our products through different means. The sale of the Shiloh-NV token could then be used to finance additional MoL sanctuaries near and far.

Year 2: This year will be dedicated to production, the inception of our natural birthing program, and the initiation of homeschooling and family coop activities geared towards children. If food shortages do come to pass, this year we will also be selling our ferments that have been in storage to the community to aid them in getting through the tough times. A portion (80%) of the revenue earned from these sales will go towards the purchase of more precious metals and crypto assets for the MoL treasury. In the event that this food apocalypse does occur, cash will also become very scarce and we will need to have an alternative form of payment available, hence the Shiloh-NV token development.

In the event that there are no food shortages, Eber will be ideally suited to begin a large scale experiment to investigate the impact that fermented foods can have on children with developmental disabilities such as autism, ADHD/ADD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, depression and schizophrenia. We will inquire amongst the community and public at large for willing participants and begin a structured, but unscientific, experiment to determine the role that ferments can have on repairing Gut Dysbiosis. At the MoL, we understand these and many other conditions to have their root in the gut and we aim to provide irrefutable evidence that changes in diet can have to improve these conditions where the standard medical treatments have failed and are less than ideal.

Year 3 and beyond: Eber will utilize the knowledge we have gained in our first two years to introduce an eco-system services subsidiary that can go out and rectify degraded lands. Additionally, we will continue exploring more properties and opportunities where our Stewardship program can expand and where our learned experience can contribute to community growth and empowerment. Production from the farm will continue to be used to procure precious metals and we will find more ways to affect positive change.
