The 7 Pillars of Our Ministry
Last updated
Last updated
The Ministry of Life, through its Seven Pillars, embodies a radiant vision of sustainability, community, and spiritual enlightenment. It germinates from the fertile ground of conscious living, flourishes through collective action, and yields the fruits of holistic wellbeing. These pillars, although separate, are interincluded- that is, the whole (of our mission) is recapitulated or contained within each of its parts. Thus, specialization by individuals on any single pillar will naturally encompass all 7. We will therefore elucidate the spiritual framework of the 7 pillars of our experiment and allow the work to speak for itself. Decentralized, truly Democratic decision-making, local engagement and the pursuit of truth are the heartbeat of this transformative endeavor.
Our ambitions for the Ministry of Life are as follows:
To kindle the flame of self-sufficiency and self-reliance: We strive to inspire individuals to embrace a more self-sufficient existence by exercising the Divine Mandate and honoring that responsibility through the process of Tikkun (correction). By arming them with the necessary resources, wisdom, and support, we empower them to cultivate their own sustenance through active participation in food production, reduce reliance on external structures, and weave meaningful connections with the land and their community . We envision a future where our children are cherished, where the sacred bonds of family regain their rightful importance, and where childbirth and early childhood development are celebrated as central pillars of community life.
To nurture regenerative farming practices: We are committed to fostering farming techniques that cherish soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience, whilst minimizing the damaging footprint of conventional agriculture. In the dance of soil and soul, a profound harmony emerges, a harmony that requires effort, growth, and reverence. The Ministry of Life will dedicate itself to the creation of, through selective breeding, cows that are supremely suited to grace the landscape as tools and commodities, working their magic on degraded lands. We aim to forge a new industry of ecosystem service workers, Stewards, individuals whose life's work will be to begin the long process of correcting the effects of decades of poor land management and ecological dereliction.
To fortify local food systems: The Ministry of Life strives to fortify local food systems, fostering enduring connections between farmers, consumers, and community organizations. In the face of global agricultural challenges and potential food shortages, our mission encompasses the establishment of regional heirloom seed repositories, nurtured by dedicated individuals. Our goal is to ensure the preservation of these invaluable resources, free from the traditional financial constraints of a long term mortgage. Our vision is not just to safeguard the seeds of our fields, but to create a fertile ground where the seeds of our future - our children - can thrive in a Post-Fear world.
To empower and uplift our children: We seek to engage and inspire the younger generation by presenting them with rich opportunities to learn, work, and contribute to the Shiloh Project. By cultivating educational programs that instill a sense of purpose and foster an understanding of regenerative agriculture, we offer them an alternative developmental path, a journey that escapes the digital realm to immerse them in the creative ingenuity of Stewards building a new Earth through natural and low-cost building techniques that nourish the soul while preserving the sanctity of life within the landscape.
To establish a community-driven governance model: We endeavor to create a decentralized governance structure for the Ministry, one rooted in transparency, accountability, and inclusivity. This allows for community input, collective decision-making, and the development of an ecosystem that eliminates chaos and promotes personal transformation. We will be pioneers in bringing the divine potential of blockchain into the material realm by inspiring trust and fostering participation through divine service.
To create a sustainable token-based economy: We plan to harness blockchain technology to develop Shiloh, a utility token that facilitates transactions within our ecosystem, incentivizes participation, and fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among our stakeholders. Our aspirations soar beyond the material; we yearn for a righteous, soul-centered existence brimming with meaning and purpose, where individual skills and talents are duly acknowledged. We acknowledge the infinite potential of enabling individuals to return to God and will dedicate our lives to empowering others to tread their own path of initiation into a higher state of being and living.
To expand and scale: Our formative years will transpire during the very height of the evil that could befall our world. Preservation of our broader communities and our children is paramount during the development phase of the Shiloh project. We will create fortresses of seed production and develop the means to educate the population on how to use them if that capability ever becomes necessary. We know what our heart tells us, that hell is coming for the multitudes, but even with this feeling, there is nothing new under the sun. Our goal is to prevent that time coming at all through active defense. Fear can be avoided altogether through preparation and a steady state of ready mind that is equipped to handle anything Satan throws at us. While Texas will be our initial emphasis, with the launch of the Shiloh token into the world, our project will span the four corners of the globe.
We do not know what the future holds, but we do know that an active defense on a regional/statewide level is necessary if we are to have a chance in nullifying the threats facing us today. Food security is our biggest weakness. Seed security, before they try to patent our future, our children and our health, should take priority.
While the path forward may be fraught with uncertainty and speculation, our collective yearning for a brighter future and our unwavering pursuit of this vision will, guided by God's hand, carry us over any obstacle that seeks to impede our growth and, we pray, avert the oppressive future the wicked have planned for us.
