“Neither in history, nor present, nor prophesied, is all content to be ‘common knowledge’.

“Humans do not have the capacity to be; all knowing, all powerful, everywhere present.

“The quest of the population to be knowledgeable, influential, progressive, self-determining, and entitled, is a fools choice. And the good of the population is not best served by representation, but by leadership.

“The political systems of the world are; based in, representative of, and subservient to, the ‘id’ of the individuals of mankind. Thus the dissatisfaction between peoples, between persons, and present in persons. Conflicts struggle interior of person, between persons in community, and between communities of the globe. The continual ‘jockeying for position’ produces politics, economy, and persuasion, all manifests of the hyper-action of ‘id’.”

Camron Dunstan has begun writing his thoughts, editing his writing, and preparing to persuade, but that time isn’t yet. There is the whole scenario of  ‘Not biting the hand that feeds you’, ‘practice what you preach’, and ‘don’t get in over your head’.

Camron may or may not be in his mid-teens. When Daphne Dunstan pulled him from the dumpster he didn’t come with a biography.
When Ivor Dunstan married the dumpster-diving Daphne he knew she was a mother-type, neither of them knew where that road was going to take them! They still don’t understand that they were and are God’s perfect placement of person, provision, and potential, for the thrown away children of whom they had collected 17. That was before William, Aspasia, Stanley Hanson, A Vessel of Mercy, and Land Supporting Life, each became God’s perfect placement of property, provision, people, and potential, to all of them. And now one of those children is on a road unrecognizable to his parents.
 
Camron may always be a working fool, a ‘crazy’, and a single. Maybe those all are essentials for the path God has destined for him to walk. Or, maybe this philosophizing is just a result of free time offered by circumstances. Either way this is a perfect time for us to practice; ‘Do not look for the big picture, do only what’s in your eyes and hands’.

Gwen Rosenke has it in her head and heart to train herself in first-aid and search and rescue. She is team-building with a female Rottweiler pup named Pink. They have neither instructors nor mentors, so mostly they use their circumstances to work on getting in good physical shape, bonding, and experiencing the physical world of Turtle Lake Land Supporting Life. She also talks with those of more life experience than her. She is a happy-heart human, and so far no one has seen any quit in her. She is Mom to a fast growing, energetic, toddler son. And she is wife to an old man who isn’t worth much other than a warm lump to sleep beside. However, she is carrying his baby, puzzle on that!

When the time comes that life stories are told, hers will gather a crowd. Nothing can be said now, her history could flare up, that would be very bad.

There is not a chore she will evade, nor a conversation she won’t participate in, but aside from emergencies, everything comes after husband and son.

And that’s easy, there’s nothing they need other than some ‘lady luxury’ before and after a good nights sleep!

Carl and Beth Moses have for awhile now being wondering if they should have a talk with the young adults about the beginnings of Land Supporting Life. We do live by, “Do not look for the big picture, just do what’s in your eyes and hands.” and yet it seems maybe this is the time for a simple version of history. They aren’t going to make it happen, but if opportunity presents they will ease into it.

Land Supporting Life is a sovereign kingdom, it’s King is Jesus Christ. That kingship alone is what makes L S L a righteous and benevolent kingdom.

As with all things to do with God, every item is as a pin-hole in the big picture. God Himself has no beginning, end, boundary, limitation, peer, or competition. However all things not God, His creation, exists in all of those.
All things ‘be’ according to His design, for His purpose, in His timing.

Therefore, to believe, trust, and love God, is the enemy of ‘id’ and requires a ‘new birth’, a conversion, a leaving of the natural and a welcoming into the supernatural. It has been said, ‘broad is the road and wide is the gate that leads to destruction, many travel it’. And, ‘straight is the way and narrow the gate that leads to life, few find it’.

If this is true, it easily explains Land Supporting Life. Throughout it’s short history, Land Supporting Life has been the scene of many physical deaths. And everyone who comes, comes at the cost of leaving everything. The histories, if written, would fill volumes. If God allowed ‘id’ to be the only driving force of humanity, Land Supporting Life could not exist. But because God grants an option and the means to attain it, a new life and a better way to live it are available to a minority.

The kingdom of Land Supporting Life is not enclosed in a single boundary, but is comprised at the present of 20 different properties some as small as a quarter section, one is approximately 1 1/2 townships of land. Because each property is surrounded by a province of a sovereign nation, being a ‘good neighbour’ is beneficial, for both.

In the original ‘cede’, by negotiation and purchase, and the subsequent expansions, Land Supporting Life has never stood as a ‘dearly loved’ of the worlds nations. It is curious how many of those nations have sent some of their needy to Land Supporting Life for shelter! The A Vessel of Mercy heart of the kingdom excludes none, everyone who comes is welcome. None have to stay, few have left.

The attacks that Land Supporting Life have had against it’s divinely protected boundaries, are of a scale every nation of the world is informed.

A world leading ‘might and money’ individual had once described Land Supporting Life as being ‘the basement of heaven’, ‘it’s defences rise to the floor of heaven’.

Perhaps the records have been lost, no one talks of the failed ventures against this particular kingdom of Jesus Christ.

There are also nations from which the vast amount of resource has flowed in for all areas of sustenance. Again, if records have been kept and if they were to be released, volumes would be written. Perhaps the knowledge is not privy to the people. However, centuries ago it had been written that ‘every person will appear before God, the books will be opened, and every person will give an account for the things they have done while in their body’.

The sovereign, righteous, benevolent, kingdom of Land Supporting Life, is unique among the nations. There is no human government, no currency, no law, no social programs. There is no potential for wealth, no assurance of health, no possibility of ‘advanced education’, nor technological advancement.

The economy is strictly giving, receiving, and gratitude. The law is love. The throne is priest. The education is opportunity. Technology is strictly controlled by the King—once again, if the records were to be made known, volumes would be filled!

For the peoples outside of Land Supporting Life, distain and disassociation are rampant, yet on the other hand there is a ground-swell of fortune flowing in. The phenomenon of donating excess in the name of philanthropy is active from peoples and persons. From years ago there is writ that ‘the wealth of the nations would flow into the kingdom’.

We as Land Supporting Life have no delusion we are heaven, nor millennial kingdom, nor any type of utopia. We simply are people, placed, provided, and given opportunities.

In the realm of compassion, food and lodging are insufficient. ‘Provided for’ is incomplete if the high cost of love does not include granting opportunity for accomplishment, regardless how minute that may be. The weak must be enabled. The strong and the weak must be granted ‘forward leaning’. A ‘doing of what’s in their eyes and hands’. If ‘id’ controls the person, only ill will manifest, albeit in ‘fine clothing’; if Jesus Christ is Lord the high cost of love will be paid, resulting in the pressing forward and upward.

In the realm of our not being under the rule of law, there is no license for misbehaviour. Morals, the knowing of right and wrong, and doing the right, are based in the understanding there is a ‘standard’ to live by. An intense need for discipline, an understanding that ‘no’ is an essential word of love.
 
‘id’ does not favour the word ‘no’, nor the requirement of discipline, nor the action of self-control. Thus the requirement of ego and super ego to enable humane, civil, and moral, attitude and action.

Here in Land Supporting Life, with Jesus Christ as Lord, the psychology of man is not the ‘standard’ to cling too. The Scripture is the manifest.

These are some of the snippets of conversation one might hear at Turtle Lake; as well as, ‘We’re going to be very low on milk for a couple of months while the goats prepare to lactate their babies.’

‘We’ll butcher 5 rabbits today.’

‘We’re short on eggs because 2 hens and 3 ducks are setting.’

‘One good thing is we still have lot’s of animal feed.’

‘We have that little grow-light system set up. 8 varieties are seeded in 4 trays.’

So many people, are thinking out loud about so many things, that it’s very entertaining to ‘eavesdrop’!

Gardening dreams, animal farming dreams, construction and development dreams, sheltering the needy, loving the unloved, all these and more are dreamed about, brainstormed, and prepared for, all within the confines of ‘what’s in our eyes and hands’. God’s perfect placement of people, ‘is’.

God’s perfect placement of opportunity, ‘is’ and ‘will be’. This right here is the step of ‘thought process’. Faith, hope, and love, are being cultivated and harvested in the lives of human beings!

Not just here at Turtle Lake, but in the entire kingdom, King Jesus is Lord of all.

Whereas Camron Dunstan has been thrilling with ‘encyclopedic dictionary bible study’, Jacob Curtis is largely a bible ‘inhaler’. He’s not what might be considered a student, but he does read, comprehend, and pray. And he is somewhat able and willing to express himself.

For those who get to observe, it would make sense if a ‘scribe’ where to take notes and edit for presentation. So far we have to just stand back and catch crumbs.

It was after supper one night when we normally have a bible reading and discussion; smiling, chuckling, and laughing, became prominent. Not by humour and comedy, but by the shear volume of wonder encapsulated in a very few words. Jacob read, and then reread 10 words. The people didn’t need them ‘preached’, yet slowly everyone ‘hooked into’ the reality of the wonder. The first 10 words of the bible, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

A simple English dictionary study of English words produces wonder, unless of course ‘id’ is the master of the individual.

What we know of course is that both good and evil have enemies, each other. In the primal parts it is, ‘id’ versus ‘ego’.
In this particular group there are no ‘advanced education’ students, perhaps even no particularly intellectual persons.

Perhaps neither are there those who are particularly philosophical.

What we do know of a certainty is that God in His perfect placement of people, has the persons of His choosing on this property. Not only that , but for this His people, on this His property, He has faithfully placed provision and potential. These 4 perfectly become combined for God’s purpose.

Other topics that often get touched on are from the Sermon on the Mount, by the incarnate Jesus Christ, and recorded in Matthew chapters 5-7, and reiterated in a smaller way in Luke chapter 6.

There is of course, by this point in history, massive amounts of varied teaching of the Scriptures. What is obvious to the people of Land Supporting Life is; Almighty God Himself is building a visible, viable, and veritable, ‘see and touch’ of the Kingdom of God and His Christ.

God had in the past, a family chosen to be His particular people, a nation of blessing to the world. They fell, but not for ever, at some point in the future Christ will Himself physically rule over the entire world as Priest and King from His throne in His temple in Jerusalem. The temple in Jerusalem will become the most important place in the world, and all will travel to Him to learn His ways. His chosen people will serve Him.

What might be God’s purpose for Land Supporting Life? Yes we began and continue as a shelter for those in danger. All we do is receive and care for those sent to us. Other persons in other nations, are choosing who will survive and who may not. And they send them to us in a variety of ways, seldom ‘classy’. Several times our first chore was to get the people hosed off from their own sewage, thoroughly bathed, properly clothed, sufficiently fed, and sheltered. Never would the process at Land Supporting Life have had the approval of the social procedures of our neighbours. From the very beginnings, people came before facility was ready, sometimes even before it was started. Several times William had been heard moan, “We don’t have shelter to be a shelter!” At one point the farm house at Hanson field was less than 1400 sq. ft. and had 120 pre-crawlers. Or the time a neighbouring city had a major apartment fire and 80 senior citizens came and slept on foamies on a broken concrete floor in a room with no plumbing. When the time came they could move home zero of them did because they all had entered opportunities that gave life to their life.

Oh we have collected sea-cans! Oddly, they were cleaned and disinfected by leaders who at heart are servants, slaves of love.

If you were to start the conversation you would quickly learn that the desperately broken are sustained not only by shelter, food, and hygiene, but by the with-holding of harmful opportunity, and the distributing of tender and real opportunity.

It is the few people favouring the straight road and narrow gate that see the worth of Land Supporting Life. The majority find fault, defame, and participate in attitudes of death and destruction.

And indeed, when we (God forbid), turn away from Him and turn to human ways of thinking and acting, He will destroy our works and perhaps eternal lives. ‘God has no favourites that can get away with sin’.

The Scriptures are clear on the character of God. There is some ‘veil that exists for the people headed to destruction, but whenever a human turns to Christ the veil is taken away.’

It happened one morning after breakfast. The outdoor temperature is above freezing, but the wind is howling and it’s what we call a second cup of coffee morning. The clearing of throats and the repositioning of chairs was our call to attention.

Carl Moses begins, “Land Supporting Life did not begin as a righteous kingdom, in fact very much different than that. Some number of nations, peoples, and wealthy individuals from the region of east Africa, south Europe, the near east, and Western Asia, had for years been working on establishing a ‘prototype’ of world system that they would begin in inconspicuous localities, prove to themselves they had it right, then expose ‘the answer’ to the world , then soon impose it on the world.

“The politics and economics are really quite unfathomable! They refused to call the money ‘international money’ and insisted it was ‘global money’.

“All ‘on the sneak’ they purchased a very large family farm in northwest North America. In 2000, the turn of the century, began an extensive subterranean development, leaving surface to go barren. In 2020 they chose to begin surface development. Through a series of events a local family got involved and ‘grew in favour with God and man’.

“The family were God fearing, church attending, Christian living, and very helpful to the ‘on site king’. He admired them in all areas of life, except one. They would not honour him as more than a man, he insisted they ‘worship’ him. They would not, so 3 humans were beheaded at the community hall. Their beheading was at the hands of beautiful A I robots, fast, neat, and final.

“The kingdom which had from the beginning been titled, Land Supporting Life, had become acknowledged as the world leader in A I and robotics usage. Even with the pride from acknowledgement ‘bursting’, a 13 year old girl got in his ears about the illegitimate name and declaration, if he didn’t designate at least 40% of tillable land to growing food for humans! Beginning NOW!”

Carl stops talking, he and Beth look in each others eyes for a long moment, then, “The telling of the stories, the histories, are never complete representations. Please understand, you need to remain ignorant for the purpose of not becoming side-tracked. Our motion is to be always ‘onward and upward’. Vision and focus is what we need. I will close with this: the building of value always and only is realized by the sacrifices of the builders.

Well, that and the removal of all who do not ‘stay with the program’.

“Even the pagan kingdom of Land Supporting Life experienced; assassinations, environmental disaster, electrical blackout, and slow population growth. Death has always been a part of Land Supporting Life.

“At the time that God was bringing the kingdom to Himself, and through which He accomplished that, He raised a teenage boy to carry the burden of the people. His first act of cleansing was a complete and thorough collecting of all robotics, A I, ‘smart’ everything’s, and electronics, then with a large loader bucket full he offered his life to God and drove into the lake of fire. God did not accept his life nor the loader, they backed out unmarked.

“God did accept his life many weeks later, a marksman was successful with a long shot to the ‘kings’ forehead while foot racing his family in a horse drawn wagon. The shot was by his friend and mentor as a mercy-killing to keep him from the extreme torture 5 men were on site to accomplish as a retribution for the destruction of the ‘idols’.

“That child-‘king’ was the one who first began to encourage his disheartened people. “Do Not Look For The Big Picture, Do Only What’s In Your Eyes And Hands. Jesus Christ is Lord!”

“Little did they know the degree the encouragement of their adopting that lifestyle, would steady them in the passing of their first righteous and benevolent king.”
