P.I.System/English translations/health/Swine Flu

Swine flu, avian flu, and other so-called epidemics. Because this referred lies are constantly been repeated in the public, I too feel the urge to repeat the Truth! All diseases and also epidemics have one common cause. Such causes are Deficient/Mistaken and Wrong Nourishment trough the destruction of food, as via cooking, freezing, microwave radiation, blending, centrifugal application, as unnatural living under exposure of damaging radiation, poisoning trough unnatural chemical substances in the air, as in city or room or apartment. There are no coincidentally or arbitrary attacking diseases, and all the microbes, as viruses, are never the cause of cellular destruction/decadence, but the consumption of processed and dead, unnatural food, as the interference and encroachments against Life and Nature. Microbes really are here to decompose the decadent, life-unsuitable matter of the organism, which add-on elimination follows with symptoms, often mistakenly called diseases. – It is therefore absolutely wrong, to interfere in such processes of Cure by adding new chemicals, who by itself act as poisons and against Nature. With those surely we only suppress the symptoms, but exactly break what is desired to achieve, namely the elimination of damaged matter and thereof its recovery. The more poisonous the substance bought in to ‘fight’ a disease’, the more can we expect that the detoxification and regeneration will be obstructed, and/or stopped. We find still for example that such heavy metals as lead and mercury are being used in the dental fillings (amalgam), although its know since many years, how this dangerous poisons are the cause of many psychic diseases and infirmities as Autism and Alzheimer! We find this same poisons and even worse compositions in Vaccines, with whom we are then supposed to become ‘immune’ against a disease!!! – It is now very clear that such extremely poisonous substances are schocking the system so much, that any detoxification/elimination for a long period of time remains undone.

The stopping of elimination however should not, in any case,  be confused with the healing, or protection from disease itself, not at all! All the suppressed processes of elimination now will lead further to the accumulation of even more decadent and poisonous matter in the body, which retention ultimately will lead to the worst art of degeneration of both physical and psychic faculties and up to the Death.

We shall ask ourselves, how at all it has come, that such damaging, life-threatening poisons have been accepted as healing therapies in the mainstream society. The big Lie of ‘’Bad Bacterias’’ has been introduced and financed now nearly hundredths of years ago by the elitist family of Rockerfellers. Only trough this lie it was made possible to prepare the ground to the big flourishing profit-market of the Pharmaimperium, in whom I see one horn of the beast of the book of the revelation. – This lie, respectively bought in by the beast that is oppressing the humankind (trough disinformation via poisons, Food degradation, Mis-Schooling, Mis-Education) has now created uncountable pain to Mankind, Animal and Plant Kingdom and will continue to do so, unless Truth prevails! – This enemies of mankind this autumn (09) again (as before already with ‘’avian flu’’) trough ultra-poisonous Vaccines, are again planning to criminally kill millions, if not billions of people on Earth – If they succeed to force their deadly shot of poisonous vaccination to the masses, this with the help of the corrupted medias and alarmism, then we may have to prepare for the end of this civilization and see ourselves pushed back to medieval scenarios of misery and desolation.

Who can, he stop the vaccine-madness! – Vaccines are the weapon in a invisibe war of destruction against all humans and here to impose dictatorship on the planet, a plan well studied and engineered since generation in criminal manner by those powerful criminals in the background, who are looking down from above and overlooking humanity as insects, ready to be destroyed, so that they don’t damage further the Earth! – We have knowledge, to nourish and feed 10 times more people of and on this planet in a peaceful way! – We have plans to transform the Earth into a Paradise-Garden and to Re-educate all civil population back to a natural way of living and eating! – We have the solutions! (P.I.System)

The upcoming plan of poisoning vaccines trough Pharma-industry will commit mass murder if we don’t stop it. They are already digging mass-graves out in countries as England, Usa, Belgium and other nations! Without vaccines nothing more than a simple Swine-Flu-Effect would have happening! As for example: Diarrhea, and light fever. – The media however, will try to persuade people, and make them believe that the vaccinated and heavy diseased cases are victims of the epidemic, this in order to justify mandatory vaccination! – Media-influenced Populations of many countries as even parts of cultural basic informed nation may believe easily to swallow such shameful twist of facts and explode in panic! Civil-war alike scenarios could easily explode between the people wanting to defend themselves from the poisonous forced vaccination and those in authority as doctors, military army.

We shall search instead for all current common symptoms and underlying facts in the environment and respective DIET! Only there, and not in ‘Viruses’, are the real reasons of disease to be found! – I shall speak about Insecticiedes, who are stopping the process of digestion and eventually also being spread over the heads of humans via aircrafts! – All poisoning trough chemicals, inclusive the degradation of Food are strictly to avenge. Where have been left our Rights and Law?! – In the hands of a criminal ‘’New World Order’’, behind whom coming dictatorship of worst sort is trying to hide, and who is planning, the decimation of humanity trough poisonous vaccines?

Please translate in your language! The Speed of Action and Spreading of this document can be life-saving to uncountable Lifes! The P.I. System since now has not been translated into the French, Greek and Italian.. – It is there that forced Vaccination wants to be pulled in at first!

Eating and Living Naturally

The successful way back to nature

How to avoid or survive the big crash/ third World War

By: Reinhold Schweikert,  email: paradiesinselfamilie@gmail.com

written in Portugal during summer 2005

Introduction

Why should we live naturally?

In fact, this might be the most stupid question on earth. But even today people don’t know or don’t think about the extreme damage an unnatural modern lifestyle causes to every being that is exposed to anything unnatural in all physical and mental aspects of life. So this question is still very often asked, together with the question: Why should we eat our food raw? – I could also ask: Why shouldn’t we kill ourselves along with our planet? – Because this will happen soon if we don’t change to a natural lifestyle right now!

At this moment, I’m holding in my hands one of those advertising catalogues sent out weekly or even daily showing me what I should buy for my life in this modern world: TV sets, projectors, cameras, audio and video systems, computers, all kinds of players, carradios, (cordless/ cellular (US) = Handy) telephones, coffee machines, cooking pots, grills, barbecues, sandwich grills, kitchen machines, graters, mixers, centrifugal machines, frying pans, liquidizers, mincers, toasters, electric knives, ham-cutting machines, hot water bottles and so on. They really make people believe that they need electric razors, electric hair-cutters, depilators, electric toothbrushes, massaging machines, tension measurers, hair dryers, generators, irons, vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, electric ovens, water heaters, stoves, exhausters, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, air conditioners, ventilators, fans…and more. – Isn’t it horrible? My grandfather didn’t need any of these! And he was right! They sell all these devices to waste energy, damage our food and bring us further away from a natural lifestyle.

Do we want to become artificial technical, robots? All these electric and electronic machines will cause electromagnetic fields, radiation of almost any frequency up to X-rays! Our body system, every cell of our organism will be permanently impaired/ bombarded/ affectetd or irritated by them. The repair of damaged body cells will cost us a great deal of our daily energy ration. We will often be tired and exhausted, nervous and angry, lose our good vibrations and our life-power. If our organism is not able to repair all the damage caused by an unnatural environment and denaturalized food, it will collapse, fall ill and grow old. – So, ask yourself seriously, why do you want or already use all these things? – Because everybody’s using them? – We don’t really need any of these machines, especially not the ones which have been invented during the last few decades to destroy our food (microwave ovens) If we don’t use them, there is not only the advantage of saving money or using less electricity, the abandonment of an unnatural lifestyle and unnatural food will even stop decadence; it will be able to cure our bodies and souls and even our planet!

Who told us to live so much against the laws of God’s own nature?

Who allowed us to destroy our food by fire or even microwaves? There’s no living creature that is creating so much craziness, violence, cruelty and war, disorder and decadence, pollution and destruction, misery and pain as the human beings of this “modern” world! Didn’t you ever think there must be a reason; there must be something seriously and fundamentally wrong, that totally violates the laws of God and nature? – Here is another idea for you: Just read the first page of the Bible and see how Adam and Eve lived in paradise! Did they use electricity or any of the above-mentioned machines? Did they cook their food? Did they eat meat from animals? – None of this! – And now ask yourself: Why were they so happy? Why couldn’t any physical or mental disease afflict them? – Can you already see the reason? If not, I’ll help you:

Because they lived naturally, because they kept the laws of God and nature!

If you are in doubt about these simple reasons, I can give you lots of proof in my German books. This introduction only contains a minimum of information. Take the milk of a cow, boil it and give it back to her calf afterwards. – Within a few weeks this calf will die! – Killed by cooked food! Natural food – milk, eggs, honey, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, cereals, nuts…- are living and get killed by fire. Cooked food hasn’t got the same ingredients and value/nutrients as natural food. The natural harmonic order in the macromolecules of living natural food gets destroyed during the cooking process. Various processes of heating up our food even create a large amount of new and toxic elements, which don’t exist in the raw version. Fried, roasted, microwaved, cooked… molecules cannot keep their geometric chain structure and loose their natural tension, their ability to absorb and retain light and their life, when heated up to more than 42oC (e.g. milk, although some other nutrients are more durable). They get destroyed, killed and in some cases even changed into toxic substances. Cooked food is dead food! And it’s dead food which leads us to old age and death, destruction and decadence, war and violence, misery, illness and pain. Our body doesn’t work well with it! And in line with our body our mind deviates/wanders, we get depressed or aggressive, paranoid, abnormal and permanently perverse.

Because we are a part of God’s own nature, we need natural food!

If you have understood, you will now ask: Can’t we live again as they did in paradise and be healthy and happy in our paradise gardens? – This time you have an excellent idea! – Why shouldn’t we move back to our paradise gardens, even after thousands of years? Are they closed? – No, God never closes any way to heaven. – We have destroyed almost all the gardens and lost the knowledge and feeling for creating them, but we still live on the same planet! Can’t we learn to plant them again? – Would it be possible? – I can tell you one thing for sure: It is possible, because we already did it, even in Portugal! And it will be possible for you too, if you really want it!

The following booklet will give you an outline of natural food and life. Taste the delicious recipes and already feel the healing effect of natural food! Try to find your own recipes based on 100% raw and natural ingredients and get back to nature already through your diet. Never use any electric machine for preparing your meals!

If you want to know more, we should translate some of my 16 books about the “Paradise Island System” into your language.

The successful way back to nature:

LIVING OUTDOORS

Our family live and work in our own gardens. Our bedrooms grow in the middle of rose bushes, quinces, berries and orchards, but we don´t lack privacy or protection. Inside, the atmosphere is calm, protected from winds. The air is fresh with a delicious smell and the birds wake us up with their singing. In the morning, when we open our eyes, we see beautiful flowers and fruits that hang over our heads, ready to be eaten.

Suggestions for the shapes of “living hedge bedrooms”:

Family or children Couple Animals

NATURAL FOOD

Here we’re only going to give you some examples of typical recipes with/from our natural food. They’re all easy to prepare and will help you to find your own recipes later on. The secret of our excellent raw meals is that all recipes are simple. The single dishes with all the different salads – up to ten – of a whole meal are not too overloaded, over-prepared or mixed up.

Breakfast

Of course you can also easily have breakfast by just picking fruits directly from the trees in your garden and drinking some milk from your goats:

a) Fermented milk with berries

Raw milk soured or coagulated in a mud pot

Raspberries (may be replaced by fruit of the season)

Red currants

Grated of half a lemon or orange

1 raw apple

1 raw egg yolk

2 or 3 lettuce leaves

Olives

Put the milk in a bowl and cover it with the raspberries and red currants (if the fruit isn´t sweet enough, add honey and pollen from a natural bee plate (?)). Sprinkle it with the grated lemon or orange peel. This dish can be served with apple, raw egg yolk, lettuce and olives (as shown in the following photo).

b) Fresh milk with grated apple

Oranges

Fresh milk (for babies preferably goat’s milk as it is easier to digest)

1 raw apple

1 raw egg yolk

Olives

Garden mint

Squeeze the oranges with a hand squeezer in order to obtain really natural juice. If you don’t have oranges, use any other self-pressed fruitjuice or eat the whole fruit. In summer we prefer all kinds of melons.

Then put the milk in a bowl and add raw grated apple. This meal can be served

with raw egg yolk, olives and garden mint. Use wooden dishes if possible.

Lunch

From left to right:

a) French beans with tomatoes and onions

Raw grated French beans

Raw tomatoes cut in pieces

Raw grated onions

Olive oil

Sea-water salt

Vinegar

Spices

Mix all the ingredients in a saladbowl.

b) Carrots with dried fruit

Finely grated raw carrots. Ground hazelnuts, nuts or almonds

Dried ground figs

Oil

Mix everything in a salad bowl. The dried fruit can be replaced by apple ground with the juice and grated peel of a lemon.

c) Onions with cheese

Raw onions

Olive oil

Vinegar

Sea-water salt

Grated cheese

Cut the onions in thin slices and put them in a salad bowl. Add the olive oil, vinegar, sea-water salt and the grated cheese. Mix everything well.

d) Cucumber with fresh cheese

1 raw cucumber

5 cloves of garlic

Olive oil

Vinegar

Fresh cheese

Spices

Cut the cucumber in thin rounds and put it in a salad bowl. Add the cloves of garlic cut in small pieces or pounded in a mortar. Then add olive oil, vinegar, ground fresh cheese and spices (preferably dill). Mix everything well.

e) Raw potato salad

3 or 4 raw medium-sized potatoes

Red wheat

Raw peanuts

Sunflower seeds

Dried mushrooms

Wild herbs

Olive oil

Sea-water salt

Grate the potatoes very finely. Grind a handful of hard red wheat. Then grind another handful of sunflower seeds, one of raw peanuts and a last one of dried mushrooms. Cut the wild herbs (stinging nettles, for example) with a rocker knife. Put everything in a bowl and flavor with olive oil and sea-water salt, mixing with a fork without pressing.

Your raw potato salad is the basis of every day’s lunch and can be varied in many ways. An easy way is to make it just with ground raw peanuts and hard cheese with the addition of some sea salt and olive oil.

(Attention: Lately harvested potatoes might cause some sickness, as well as some “modern” species can have too much solanin. If raw potatoes have a bitter taste, choose others. Never use green parts of a potato!)

f) Spinach with raw egg yolk

Raw spinach ( it can be replaced by other leaves, such as turnips or stinging nettles)

Olive oil

Sea-water salt

4 cloves of garlic

3 raw egg yolks

Pass the spinach leaves through your handcrafted kitchen machine or pound them in a wooden mortar. After that, put them in a bowl and add olive oil, sea-water salt and the finely chopped cloves of garlic and egg yolks. Mix carefully with a wooden spoon.

g) Cabbage with fresh cheese

Tender leaves of raw cabbage

Fresh cheese or coagulated/sour milk

Sea-water salt

Olive oil

Vinegar or the juice of one lemon

Cut the cabbage leaves very fine (and/or beat them in your wooden mortar) and put them in a salad bowl. Then add the fresh cheese or the fermented milk. Flavour with sea-water salt, olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice.

Dinner

a) Bitter Salad

Raw endive leaves (If not known, they can be replaced by any bitter salad or wild leaves)

Garlic

Sea-water salt

Olive oil

Juice of a lemon or orange

Cut the leaves in thin pieces and put them in tepid water for 10 minutes, in order to get rid of the acidity. If you want to keep the acidity in the leaves, just add raw grated apple. It’s healthier if the acidity isn’t removed completely. Then drain off the water with the help of a filter. Separately, grind the garlic and flavour with sea-water salt. Put this mixture in a salad bowl with the bottom covered with olive oil. Finally add the lemon/orange juice and the leaves alternately. This recipe is best served with raw potato salad and it can also be eaten at lunch.

(See the photos on the following page)

b) Salad rolls – easy and funny, especially for children

1 raw leaf of lettuce, turnip or any other leaf

1 raw tomato

1 raw onion

Goat or cow cheese

Other raw vegetables in addition

Spread out the leaf, place the other ingredients on it and roll it up.

Some additional suggestions for lunch or dinner

- Courgette (long Italian pumpkin) or young squash: Grate the courgette into long, thin spaghetti strips. Grind hard cheese together with raw peanuts and some garlic rather fine. Add some sea salt and a little oil and mix it without squeezing. – Preferably for the evening meal with natural red wine.

- Powerful vegetable mix: Grind hard cheese together with raw peanuts. You can grind some wheat, too. Take all the vegetables you have and grate them in such a way that all of them need more or less the same time to chew. (Softer vegetables can be sliced less thinly) If you’re in a hurry, just cut them all in equal slices with your handcrafted kitchen machine. For example, you can use tomatoes, onions, garlic, potatoes, courgette, cabbage, paprika and spicy herbs for one complete meal. Finally add some sea salt, egg yolks and oil and mix them all together. – Preferably for evening meals or raw fast food. .

- Tomato and vegetable soup: Pass lots of well-ripened tomatoes through your handcrafted kitchen grater to Liquidize them and add oil and sea salt. Now flavour this basis for your raw soup with all the additions you want or find in your gardens. I suggest red hot chillies, spicy herbs, some spinach or cabbage leaves (cut), sliced mushrooms, spaghetti-grated young pumpkin “noodles” –, some egg yolks and a dash of wine or vinegar.

- Maize porridge: Peel the corn from the cob. It should already be yellow but still not totally ripe and hard. Grind it, pass it through a fine grater or pound it together with some sea salt in a wooden mortar. Add some oil.

Desserts:

a) Honey banana with nuts

Then beat the raw egg whites until they’re stiff, but before the end add the honey and finish beating. Add the whites very carefully to the mixture. Put this mixture in an ungreased cake tin. Let it stand for one hour or one day in a cool place. Finally, take it out of the cake tin and it is ready to serve.

d) Pralines

For the base, grind the wheat and add the remaining ingredients. Mix everything very well until you obtain a smooth dough and press it with your hands. Use this to cover the bottom of a tart tin. On top put a mashed banana (mash it with a fork). Then cover the banana with other fruit cut very thin and finish with a layer of fresh cheese. Finally, garnish with raspberries and/or sprinkle with ground nuts.

Raw bread (simplified version)

Wheat

Sea-water salt

Olive oil or oil

a) Soak the wheat in water for one day. Then take it out of the water and grind or pound it in a mortar. Add the sea-water salt and the olive oil, mixing everything with a wooden spoon. You can eat it together with salads or just tomatoes, cheese, olives… for lunch or dinner. Leave it to dry for half a day and it’s ready to eat.

b) Grind the wheat and add olive oil and sea-water salt. Mix with enough fresh milk so that the dough becomes smooth and you’re able to shape and cut it after it has soaked up all the milk. It’s ready to cut and serve after some hours.

c) Grind the wheat and add dried fruit, nuts and carob. Add fresh milk to make a smooth dough. Leave it in a bowl covered with a dry cloth for 4 to 6 hours. After it’s shaped, it’s ready to eat.

Raw Pizza

Wheat

Sea-water

Olive oil/oil

Water

Raw vegetables

Cheese

Grind the wheat and add the sea-water salt, olive oil/oil and water. Mix everything and shape a pizza base which is left to dry for one hour. Put the base on a pizza plate and cover it with tomato, garlic, hot paprika, onion, olives, cheese, etc. Then it’s ready to serve.

Peanut/nut butter

Raw cactus (young leaves of opuntia spec.)

Young cactus leaves

Ground raw peanuts

Vinegar

Pick young cactus leaves and remove their thorns in water with a brush, with a knife or with your hands. Cut them into thin slices and put them in a bowl. Then add the ground peanuts and vinegar. You should never add olive oil or other salad oil to the cactus because it already contains a lot of oily, mucous substances.

Raw cauliflower

Raw cauliflower

Wheat

Olive oil

1 raw egg yolk (optional)

Grind the cauliflower and the wheat. Mix everything in a salad bowl and flavour with a little olive oil. This mixture can be made with raw egg yolk.

Scrambled eggs

Raw eggs

Honey

Grated peel of one lemon

Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Beat the egg whites until stiff, but before the end add a little honey and the grated lemon peel, then finish beating. It can be served like this or with the raw egg yolk mixed in finally too. Eat it immediately, because this dish becomes liquid quickly.

Orange juice with goat or cow milk

Natural oranges

Goat milk

Squeeze oranges for half a cup of juice. Add the goat milk until the cup is full and stir with a spoon. It’s better to use goat milk because cow milk coagulates very fast when it’s mixed with citrus fruits. (We advise not making this mixture with pasteurized milk or with artificial orange juice.) Drink it with a straw.

Note: We never recommend any cooked food or artificial additives. If you want to digest well, feel good and stay healthy only eat raw meals! Don’t combine raw food with cooked food. Start every day only with raw food and keep up this habit as long as possible. As soon as you’ve eaten or drunk just one denaturalized component, your stomach and digestion are already spoilt at least for the rest of the day.

Unboiled spring water tea

Fresh or dried flowers

Fresh or dried spices

Fresh or dried leaves

Dried fruit

Spring water

Put the flowers, spices, leaves and the dried fruit (figs, oranges, pears, mulberries, cactus, grapes, plums, etc.) in the bottom of a mud pot. Fill up the pot with fresh spring water and let it stand for at least one hour. If, after two days, you still have tea in your pot, take out the flowers, spices, leaves, dried fruit and put the liquid into bottles to ferment for some more days. The result of this fermentation is a gassy, slightly alcoholic drink.

Note: In order to always have enough dried plants for your tea, you should collect all kinds of suitable plants during the season each year. It will be a great experience if you taste and try all the different kinds of plants in your surroundings. You can become acquainted with them by drinking their waterextract.. Don’t forget to pick all the dry fruit and even gather the fruits pecked by the birds from your garden. Especially lots of pecked out grapes can be easily collected already dry in autumn. Even if their quality is not good enough for eating they might still be good enough as dried fruits to improve and sweeten your tea. – Don’t forget, we never use sugar! And honey is scarce!

Cheese

Goat or cow milk

Dried thistle blossoms (special thistle called “cardo” growing in southern Europe)

Sea-water salt (optional)

Spices (optional)

After milking the goat or cow, add the liquid from the thistleblossoms (previously soaked in water) to the warm milk so that it coagulates. The milk coagulates after nearly half a day at a room temperature of between 20 and 30 degrees (it should never exceed 40 degrees). Then remove the coagulated milk with a filter and put it in plastic cheese moulds. If you don’t have moulds, put the coagulated milk in a cloth which is tied up and hung or put on top of a filter, so the serum can drain out. The cheese is eaten fresh, soft or hard. To conserve the cheese for a long period of time, add sea-water salt and let it dry in the air.

In order to protect the cheese from flies while it is drying, clean it with salty water of maximum concentration. Another method of conservation is to cover the cheese with dry spices while it is still moist.

Preparation of the thistle blossoms:

Put the thistle blossoms in a glass and cover them with water. Let them stand for at least half a day. Then crush them with your fingers in order to obtain the liquid which is added to the milk fresh from milking. You can use a wooden mortar as well to squeeze out all the ingredients of the blossoms.

There will be many other ways for you to make cheese but, for now, let’s start with just this first one.

Olive oil

Olives

Crush the olives with a handcrafted machine made of steel or stone. Put them in a press and keep them under constant pressure. The liquid that comes out will separate into olive oil (above) and olive juice (below). Take off the olive oil and store it in a cool, dark, place.

You can construct efficient presses from old-fashioned lifting jacks. The modern hydraulic jacks are not able to maintain pressure for a long time. It is better not to use presses with a spiral snake system. The pressure and temperature created by this systems can be already too high and destroy the fat molecules. For the same reason you shouldn’t use any centrifugal or other modern systems with too high a speed or pressure. Olive oil shouldn’t be heated to a temperature higher than 42 degrees during the whole production process.

Wine

Grapes – nothing more!!

Our wine here in Portugal is made from ripe morangueiro grapes. You can use any well-ripened grapes from your region. The grapes musn’t have been treated with any chemicals nor do we want any artificial fertilizer in the vineyard. The grapes shouldn’t grow close to smelly rivers or creeks.

Pick them when completey ripe and pick off only the sweet berries from the bunch. Press the berries with a hand machine or by treading them with your feet and put them in a mud pot. They are left to ferment, without any additives, for a period of seven to ten days, or more if the temperature is low. The warmer the climate, the quicker the fermentation. Low-temperature fermentation can enhance the quality of the wine After this preliminary fermentation the skins of the grapes should have risen to the top. Now separate these empty grape skins from the wine, remove them and put them in another mud pot. Cover the pot well to avoid insects entering. Don’t allow anybody to add any ingredients or use any unnatural treatment. Our wine stays in this pot until the fermentation is almost completed. We bottle our morangueiro with a little remaining sweetness, so it can gain a bit of gas, which improves its strawberry taste.

Note: Prickling gas will develop if the fermentation is not complete. But if you bottle the wine too early, you run the risk of the bottle exploding, if it is not a special bottle for sparkling wine. (Coca cola bottles stand the pressure too.)

Lactic-acid fermentation

Vegetables

Sea-water salt

Spices

Vinegar (optional)

Wine (optional)

We never need any cooking process for conserving all vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, paprika, French beans, onions, broad beans, chillies, mushrooms, garlic, etc.), because we use raw lactic-acid fermentation.

Cut the chosen vegetables into pieces, add enough sea-water salt and dried aromatic herbs. Put everything in a jar and press very well with some wood, until the mixture is covered with the vegetables’ own liquid. If the liquid is not enough, add a more juicy vegetable, such as the tomato. You can also use vinegar or wine as alternatives. Close the jar very well and let it ferment for at least one month. Some fermentations need six months or more. The more nourishing components (cereals, beans, leguminosae…) you add, the more salt you need and the more time you should wait until eating. Before adding them, you can soak cereals or beans in water. If you crush or grind them it might be advisable to preferment the mixture in a mud pot. If not, the pressure inside the jar could increase too much.

If you use high-quality vegetables and enough salt, lacto-acid fermentation can preserve vegetables for up to seven years and more.

We don’t do it, but if you think you need it (during winter because you lack sunvitamin D) you can also add some unsoaked dried or salted fish, such as cod, anchovies or sprats,… To dry raw fish, lay the fresh fish in salt for one day. Afterwards hang it on a stick and let it dry in the open air.

Fermentation of olives

Olives

Olive oil

Garlic

Sea-water salt

Chillies

Laurel leaves

Dried aromatic herbs

Fill a big bowl with ripe olives and grease them with olive oil. Add the crushed garlic, sea-water salt, laurel leaves, chillies and the dried spices. Mix everything very well, so that the salt stays glued to the olives. Put this mixture in a glass jar or in a wooden or plastic barrel. The fermentation of olives takes at least two months. During fermentation shake and turn the jar or barrel a few times (once a week), to lubricate the olives.

DRIED FRUIT & VEGETABLES

Dry your fruits in the shade if the sun gets too hot. Especially for herbs, direct sun can destroy too many ingredients and make them lose their green color. Cut fruits into slices to dry them more quickly, if necessary. The thinner the slices are, the faster they dry. Don’t forget to dry vegetables and herbs too. Dried tomatoes, paprikas, Jerusalem artichokes… can be important ingredients for your meals during winter. You can salt some Jerusalem artichokes (topinambur) slices to make chips. Use dried laurel, thyme, rosemary, savory and many others for delicious lacto -acid conservation of vegetables, mushrooms and olives too.

Store all dried fruit and vegetables in a dry place and use them up before the next season comes with fresh fruit.

KITCHEN UTENSILS

We use the following handcrafted tools from left to right for these purposes:

SOME of our RULES:

- Fruits, specially citrus, should be totally natural and untreated;

- Our salt is from the sea, not refined, not cleaned;

- The goat or cow cheese is home-made and, of course, raw

- The meals should be served with morangueiro or other natural red wine (only made

of grapes, without additives or heating) or natural orange juice. If meals are not

satisfying, you can supplement them with a dessert of cheese and fruit

(banana, apple, pineapple, pear or fresh figs). The wine can be mixed with some

water.

- If milk and/or eggs are not available, we replace them by other high level protein

components like: Nuts, cereals, leguminosea.

- We advise you not to drink water while eating raw food. Water should be drunk

either half an hour before or not until two hours after a meal, because water reduces

the stomach’s digestive power.

- We eat from plates made of cork tree wood. It’s always better to use wooden dishes.

They never break and don’t even need to be washed.

- Before the meals we sing a song of thanksgiving to the Lord.

Water

If possible, only drink spring water from a cup made of stone, wood, cork, a calabash or glass, or with your hands or mouth. Just like food, it begins to loose tension and vitality when it’s removed from its natural environment… If you want to store water at home, you should use a mud pot. In this way the loss of vitality will be slower. In summer, you can mix water with some wine or orange juice.

Milk

Milk must be natural as well, from goats or cows, that means not pasteurized or homogenized. Animal feed should also be natural, without any kind of additives. The cattle should never be treated with medicine or vaccines because we also eat everything they eat.. Likewise the cattle must not be mistreated by their owner because this affects the quality of the milk too.

WORKING IN NATURE WITH OUR HANDS

Every nation needs a solid base of small farmers, mainly self-sufficient ones. All the most important fresh and green products for our daily needs should be planted on everyone’s own farms. The quality of our vegetables grows if the work is done by hand, without machines, chemicals or artificial fertilizers. If possible, we keep goats, chickens, bees or even one or two cows to supply a family with milk, cheese, eggs and honey of excellent quality and also to obtain natural manure and fertilizers. When everybody does their own natural farming, the basic necessities of all are satisfied and unemployment is zero. Even the smallest child will love to do some work for it’s own sake. Our youth will be used to daily work and responsibility. Life becomes real with self-sufficient natural farming. Nature is the best school for both our bodies and our souls. There will no longer be youngsters hanging around in the cities, becoming lazybones, criminals or bureaucrats if we go back to the country and stay on our farms.

Our system is only successful if society allows every child to stay at home with the parents on the farm. Children can be taught and grow up there much better than with the state schools, where crime and oppression, drugs and alcohol, sexism and distraction from anything natural and real will destroy their bodies and souls. “They never return.” – Children spoilt by city life won’t be able to return to nature. They can’t even want it any more. They will remain dangerous parasites on this planet for a lifetime, using up our products and resources and only giving back pollution, destruction, oppression, violence and war.

NATURAL EDUCATION

Especially for the development of musicality, arts and manual crafts it is necessary to teach children at home on the farm. If they have to go into the cities for school, they will lose not only lots of time, but also their sensibility. They’ll fall into decadence mentally and physically. Besides the practical methods (gardening, animals, housework, sewing) in our natural school, they should be taught the following at home:

a) Music

We use different kinds of instruments and books (instruction and singing). We

offer books by classical composers and audio and video equipment;

b) Art

Our children do paintings with watercolors, charcoal, pencil and oil paints. They draw with different kinds of material, such as colored pencils, wax crayons, markers and graphite. They shape objects from clay of various colors. – Of course, the most important art, especially for adults, is organizing a paradise garden.

c) Religion

We read religious books and the Bible. The most capable authors are the ancient ones. Our favorites are Emanuel Swedenborg, Thomas von Kempten and Dante. Before lunch, we sing hymns to thank God for our food. We think that the best way to live in communion with God is to live in nature and eat raw food that has not been destroyed by fire. The holy spirit of the Lord is received by every plant and natural living and eating being in this world. Everything in nature grows with a certain well-organized plan only because of this spirit. Cooking food or adding unnnatural ingredients means destroying or disturbing this divine plan of communication with the Lord through natural food and life. We think that all the big constructions from unnatural materials in the modern world have created another Babylon, which will finally (soon) experience a terrible fall. We have the following choice: either we go on building up Babylon with a total crash in the end. (Even if there isn’t a worldwide collapse soon, all of us will end and collapse finally through our death) Or we start to live and eat naturally, heal ourselves and our environment, and go to paradise/heaven finally. This final promise is still given by the Lord to everybodywho is obedient to His laws – the laws of God and nature!

d) Sport

We don’t need competitive games because we don’t want to fight against each other or waste our energies for nothing. We exercise our bodies by working in nature and with games such as climbing trees or swimming in natural lakes. There can also be a lot of exercise done between couples because raw food and natural life give more power.

e) Writing and Reading

We don’t need to imprison our children in traditional schools for years for them

to learn how to write and read. We just need some books and a little time

to teach them the first steps because, after that, we offer a whole variety of

literature, according to age. Children are autonomous and choose what they

most want to learn by themselves. We have a rich library with many different

literary works on the following subjects:

biology, science, animals, plants, history, geography, construction, handcraft,

religion, poetry, music, art, science fiction, romances, adventures, sewing, food,

gardening, comics and more.

f) Maths

First we learn the basics, such as addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. But the most important thing is to apply what we have learned in practical life; for example by building wooden or rope gates, wooden or iron tools for agriculture (rakes, horseshoes, brooms, ladders, wheels, wagons), furniture and wooden or stone houses, stone walls, wells, wooden barrels, wooden boats, rope nets, shoes, clothes, millstones, wicker baskets, drawing frames and wax candles.

When the children grow older, they specialize their interests. One of my sons, now aged 19, learnt to play five instruments and studied the ancient composers. In the meantime, he composes his own music. The younger one (15) is more interested in practical, technical things. By repairing all the old cars on our farm he already became a capable mechanic. He likes to work with wood and already constructed lots of wooden tools and machines. My eldest daughter (20) was always very interested in music too. She learnt to play some instruments, but was more interested in listening to all the traditional music and learning to know all the films and actors of the past.. She also started with arts. She’s already selling paintings in a souvenir shop now. Lately she began to sew beautiful traditional costumes of the middle ages and of our homeland.

It is important that within our schooling-system children only learn and practise useful professions. They do what is really worth to be done and needed within their life. As well very important is, that all of them know the basic rules of life, especially how to manage their gardens and how to keep their cattle.

NATURAL HOUSEWORK

We can find everything we need in nature. We don’t need to use chemical or artificial products. It’s against nature and the laws of God to produce artificial things. It’s just not permitted. Our civilization is based on artificial things. Most of them involve violations of the laws of nature (incl. the consume of animals’ meat). And most of them bring more disadvantages than advantages. The replacement of natural things by artificial ones has not only diminished the quality of life, but also increased pollution and the waste of resources and energy. If the women in this modern world wouldn’t use washing machines, all nuclear reactors could probably be shut down immediately. In areas where water is scarce, we also run the risk of contaminating drinking water.

How can we avoid the use of chemicals?

Most of the time it’s sufficient to wash objects with water without adding detergents. The best way to wash the body is with water. Normally it doesn’t need cosmetics, which can be very toxic. The body’s beauty comes from natural life and food, it cannot be created artificially with cosmetics. But if there might be a need for cosmetics, we can use everything that comes directly from nature, without transformations:

a) Hair

It can be washed with raw scrambled eggs and a little honey and rinsed with water at the end. If the hair is very oily, scrub it with fruit or wine vinegar mixed with a bit of water. Leave this to act, massaging for one minute and then rinse with water.

If you want to color your hair, you can use any colorful plant or fruit for this. Try hulls of walnuts, red turnips, black or red berries, pound them with a mortar and bring the porridge onto your hair for about ten minutes or more.

b) Baths

It’s possible to prepare special baths with flowers or dried spices, which are put in a cloth bag which, in turn, is immersed in water. The water is heated to a temperature that mustn’t exceed 40 degrees because otherwise it will lose tension and “steal” energy from the body (tea bag effect). You shouldn’t mix water of a temperature above 40 degrees with cold water. You can also add milk serum to the bath water to clean the skin. But, normally, when you eat raw food, you don’t need a lot of washing, because there are no bad smells or bacteria.

c) Dishwashing

If the dishes are very greasy, we use lemon juice, vinegar or milk serum, otherwise water is sufficient. As our food is raw, there will be no bacteria or bad smell if dishes are left without washing with left-overs on them. We use indian washnuts to keep the glasses clean and shining. (Pound some shells in the mortar and dissolve the powder in warm water.)

d) Clothes

For clothes we can use water with a temperature over 40 degrees because the “tea bag” effect is wanted to remove the dirt more easily. You can also use bars of soap, but it’s best to use products extracted directly from nature. If you use soap, you have to rinse the clothes very well, so they don’t smell. There are many plants that have the same effect as soap, the best is probably the Indian washnut. These nutshells are also good for baths and for your dishes.

e) Heating

In winter, if it’s very cold, (below 10 degrees), we use the fireplace to heat ourselves, in the morning and in the afternoon. Nevertheless our house is not closed. We open windows and doors for the air to circulate. Fires in open fireplaces release fewer harmful toxins, so they are “healthier” than those produced in closed spaces, such as in ovens. We should only burn things that come directly from nature. We light the fire with broom and burn wood, never paper. To burn plastic is particularly polluting because it releases all the worst toxins.

We should avoid fire wherever and whenever possible.

NATURAL HEALING

Causes and Processes of Illnesses

Our body was created with perfection by the creator. There will be no illnesses if we live in a natural way in our paradise islands. The emergence of illnesses only demonstrates that man has sinned against the laws of nature, which are the laws of God. There are two main causes of illnesses:

a) Insufficient Food

If our food doesn’t have all the nutrients that our bodies need for our way of life and if they are insufficient or if they are not correctly prepared or combined, our body weakens and regeneration of the cells will stop. Finally, when our energies are drained, our immune system may collapse. Thus, a great number of illnesses can appear.

b) Intoxication/Toxicity

There are many causes of intoxication/toxicity, but the main ones are cooked food and polluted air. It’s very important not to forget the air because our lungs “eat” 24kg of air every day. We inhale toxins in traffic daily, but also inside offices, houses, factories and all closed areas, especially when there are smokers. In the modern world, we suffer a lot of invisible attacks from electrical appliances such as microwave ovens, computers, cellular phones and televisions.

All of the harmful things referred to above form the basic of illness in all human beings, when combined with cooked food not containing the essential nutrients. The illnesses are already hidden in a body that periodically wants to cleanse itself from toxins. This cleansing is the illness itself because we have to suffer during the detoxication process. The bad sensations are due to the circulation of toxins in the blood. For example, we have a fever when there is a development of bacteria which remove the toxins and any other degenerate material from the body. It’s a serious mistake to blame the microbes when they are cleansing the body, because they never attack a healthy organism. We have to suffer for our sins against the laws of nature. If we repress this cleansing with other toxins (medicine), we keep the illness and add more toxins. We should never manipulate the cleansing of the body unless there is a risk of death. But if we want to stop the cleansing (detoxication) of our body, we can use natural toxins from plants or even brandy as well. So, we are never dependent on medicines. Of course the Pharma-Industrie is interested in maintaining the fatal microbe- or bacteria lie, which already caused incredible misery and pain on this planet and can nowadays even lead to total oppression and imprisonment by laws against epedemies (of animals or humans) which doesn’t exist or never be dangerous.

During the cleansing process (illness), we should only eat if we are hungry. It’s recommendable to eat a lot of vitamins, such as green salads and grated orange and lemon peel. Pineapples can be helpful too. During this process, we shouldn’t eat either big or complicated meals. Besides salads, we simply eat fruit, raw egg yolks, fresh cheese, sour milk and red wine. With this kind of food the body doesn’t need much energy for digestion, so the cleansing process is easier.

In cases of malnutrition, we use fresh or sour goat milk. If the digestive system is already too weak to assimilate other food, goats milk can still be digested. On the contrary, if we eat a large meal, we use wine or pineapple to aid digestion.

If we begin to live a natural life and eat natural food in a place without pollution, we start a long process of constant cleansing and regeneration of the body. All the stored toxins slowly leave the organism. During this journey, we not only have to suffer some physical illness but also our past problems and burdens come to the surface, before the organism eliminates them so that they never reappear. Thus, we gain mental and physical health.

A complete detoxication is not possible when there is lead (toxin) or any other kind of fillings in the teeth. Our body should only possess our own living cells, without transplants. Fillings can contain very harmful and dangerous toxins and even worse is the fact that they are situated in the head. (Heavy) Metals have a destructive effect on our nervous system. Even fillings which are not metallic are unnatural, that means toxic and they block the cleansing and healing of that area of the brain and organism to which the tooth is linked. The removal of the fillings does not cause problems when we eat raw natural food. With that food and without fillings we won’t be dependent on dentists any more. In general, we mustn’t go to hospitals or doctors, be operated or receive chemical or radiation treatment, because all of these are against the laws of God and nature. Transplantation of organs or blood causes the worst mental and spiritual problems even for our eternal life beyond. – Leave Dr. Frankenstein’s cabinet alone!

When we live naturally, we won’t need a doctor!

Natural healing of infrastructure in cities and countryside

I have often heard the reproachful questions: What will happen if anybody lives like you? Can we all go back to our gardens? Is there enough space in this world? – In fact there is an enormous amount of abandoned, unused or misused land in almost every country in this world. Nowadays, nearly the whole population lives in cities in many nations!

In fact, the efficiency of small self-sufficient farming is much better than modern agriculture, especially if we include the input of energy and destruction of the environment, and – even more – if we consider the quality of the products. And quality is one of the most important points. With the present low-quality food we still wouldn’t really succeed, even if we ate it raw. Genetic destruction of seeds, radiation, herbicides, fungicides, artificial fertilizers,… all kinds of unnatural manipulation during the growth of the plants give us products which are sick, inadequate and toxic as well. – But don’t only be angry with your farmers! – If you had to supply food for 1000 people, you probably couldn’t do it in a better way. And most of the farmers are forced to do it in the same bad and toxic way by the big agricultural conglomerates. They are victims of the money diktat and have no choice.

The solution to most of this world’s problems is to grow food on indiviual small farms in the country or on bigger vegetable fields and fruit gardens in communities with many manual workers around every village or city. We should still use the traditional farming system to grow cereals and other staple foodstuffs if it’s done without chemicals.

On your own farm you are able to grow all vegetables and fruits without any toxins and keep some cattle for your own use without any medicine or vaccination, and without any “junkfood for animals”. This is what we should call all kinds of animal feed consisting of unnatural or cooked ingredients or additives.

When I wrote my first books, some of my readers told me that my system would destroy economy. – Well, my books are still not published and the economy is nevertheless collapsing worldwide. This economic system is leading to a final but certain collapse anyway!

“Never been wrong, Robertson”, one of the most famous fund managers and the former head of “Tiger Management” (once the largest hedge fund in the world) recently predicted this forthcoming economic collapse during an interview with Ron Insana:

“Utter global collapse, but not just economic collapse… collapse of epic proportions. Collapse and disintegration of all infrastructures, including government. Inflation will run into double and triple digits. Food production will fail. People will be carrying around U.S. dollars in wheelbarrows like in Germany. There will be total collapse of public infrastructure, total collapse of medical care systems. All public pension plans and social security will collapse…” Robertson ended the interview by saying that he hopes he is not alive to see this.

Natural life leads to independence

It is true that with a really natural lifestyle we wouldn’t need most of the things that are sold in the supermarkets, and we wouldn’t need the majority of all so-called professions in the modern world any more. Being forced to stand on our own feet, to live on our own land, we wouldn’t have any time and energy to waste for any useless, unproductive work. But with my proposed system there would be no collapse, no misery at all! – We are, unlike Robertson, able to survive the forthcoming breakdown and even look forward to a really better future, a golden age! – Unnatural systems can only be maintained by huge inputs of borrowed or stolen energy. The more unnatural they are, the more energy they waste and the closer they come to the point of collapse.

Can cities survive? – Actually, every city is considered to be unnatural if it is unable to produce its food from the surrounding area. So what is our plan for modern cities? Do we have to leave all of them and go back to the country, or is it possible to supply a city without slavery and exploitation of the countryside? – Well, I don’t think we could easily return to supplying huge modern cities in a totally natural way, that means also without any motorized transport. In many of the modern cities any harmonious infrastructure is so disorderly and complicated, artificial and far from life, that it might be easier to abandon and leave them. Of course it will be easier to renaturalize and establish self-sufficient systems in old or smaller cities or villages.

Some steps to renaturalize cities:

To make an urban area usable for natural farming we first have to decontaminate the whole city regarding the use of all chemicals, medicine and toxic goods. This might be easier after the predicted collapse. Without the collapse we can try to explain the truth to all the people, we can tell them that every unnatural component in their environment means an attack on their own organism, both on health and psyche. Every artificial or fire-treated thing is toxic, because it’s not natural any more. It makes no difference if it’s inhaled or eaten, or if it damages your body by emitting technical rays. Not only screens of TVs, computers…, electrical kitchen appliances, cordless/cellular telephone stations, radar, any transmitter,… but even any artificial light from a simple bulb or neon strip light! They all cause irritation, lead us into an unreal world and cost us part of our daily energy. This culmination of all unnaturalness continually attacks our cells violently, irritates our psyche and leads to all the extensive aberrations, errors, spleens, mental and physical damage, decadence… we can encounter in the modern world.

The big chance: recycling of all waste water!

After the disconnection of destructive (kitchen) technology and the use of only natural products and food (no chemicals, no medicine, if possible no meat either) we will be able to recycle all the waste water of every household and use it – after a short fermentation time – directly for fertilizing and irrigating enormous gardens in the surrounding areas. With this water, which is nowadays still totally canalized, wasted and stolen from gardens, we can grow incredible paradise gardens inside and all around every city for both providing food and improving the climate. Recycling waste water would especially be a great solution for hot and dry countries that lack water or are even in danger of becoming deserts. – All the plants and trees in the gardens are depots/reservoirs of water, they are living beings that reduce heat, clean the air, give us oxygen and, last but not least, natural food.

Another chance: In regions with frost or other bad climates, cities can protect and cover wide areas with glassarchitecture, if nobody uses fire and combustion engines inside any more.

If they plant all the various species of the most nutritious plants and trees, and if they keep only a few cattle, cities can produce at least most of the food inside and in the near vicinity. - Human fertilizer is the best of all, if the citizens eat naturally, that means raw food. It’s possible to raise the production of food inside of cities to a very high level if the climate and light can be improved by glassarchitecture, if every wall is used for climbing plants and trees, and if the most effective gardening techniques are applied. (Walled, stored, terraced temporary .. raised beds.)

Inside larger northern city areas we can gain ground for growing food by using every building we don’t really need for growing plants and keeping animals. Therefore we only have to remove the roofs and replace them with transparent ones. Even ordinary dwelling houses can be changed into greenhouses in that way. – Did you ever live or sleep in a greenhouse? – Compared to the “normal” dwelling houses you’ll feel much better there. You’ll get much more light during winter and breathe much better air. Therefore transparent architecture of every style should be introduced everywhere. Even transparent tents, which can be blown up and held just by ventilators, are possible. When or where sunlight is not sufficient, citizens can use special lamps with a daylightspectrum.

Why don’t we live in a community with our nourishing plants? Why don’t we integrate useful animals where we live? – Because they are dirty or produce smells? You’d better forget all hygiene at once if you want to eat and live well!

Inside southern cities transparent roofs might be too hot during summer. There we can create lots of protected areas inside roofless buildings. If we take all the things which mustn’t become hot or get wet into one covered room, we can open the rest to nourishing plants and trees, which will soon build a natural roof..

All the plants and lots of animals inside the cities can be fertilized, watered and nourished by waste water and the leftovers from the inhabitants’ meals. Did you know that chickens even eat human excrements? – If their nutrition is natural, there is no reason why they shouldn’t! Chickens will appreciate all the leftovers from the meals described in this book. They like most of the vegetables, (potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, carrots, cabbage) if you just grate and mix them with bran. With green produce (all plants and trees) you can feed some cattle too. Especially goats can easily be fed where lots of trees are growing and can even be kept inside dwelling houses if we build a special stable for them.

Inside such an ecological city, most of the people can be employed in agriculture and self-sufficient production. Every hill has to be terraced, every wall must be covered with plants, every roof should be one of a glasshouse or a roof garden. Cities will have to convert nearly all their buildings into greenhouses. So if you want to get some food, you can go into one of the many greenhouses or garden shops and pick your vegetables directly from a raised or even stored walled or temporary bed.

The more natural a city is and the fewer toxic/unnatural emissions afflict its inhabitants, the better will be their health and mood, and the smaller will also be the amount of food they need.

(More information and plans concerning natural agriculture, restoration and difficulties arising on this real way back to nature are to be found in my German books, as well as in “The P.I.System/Diet and Life/Part 2” already translated in English)

The replantation of the whole country of Portugal, which is mainly desert and burned out,

(or any other desert country) is possible too and would bring incredible advantages if it’s well done. Here is some advice:

- Plant primarily those nourishing trees and plants which grow without or with little artificial watering. For example cacti, grapevines, oaks, peaches, figs, mulberries, almonds, olives… even some kinds of apples and pears are very resistant, too. Trees grown from seeds are more resistant than grafted fruit trees.

- Take care of every tree and its crop. Dry all the fruits you don’t eat immediately in the shade. (If the sun is too hot!) All dried fruits will be important because we won’t use sugar any more,. Plant carobtrees and try to keep bees.

- Plant fruit trees and cactus along every street and construct further lanes and avenues for non-motorized public life and traffic. If possible, keep both sides of every public avenue watered and green to prevent fires spreading.

- Build small water reservoirs and dams all over the country. Just one rainy winter is then enough to replant large areas.

- Continue by building terraces on every hill with a gentle slope to retain rainfall and increase your gardening area.

- Start to plant only useful that means nourishing plants and trees in all public parks and areas. If an area seems to be too polluted, you can still plant washnut trees or any other plant for cosmetic or practical use.

- Where there are trees that seem to be useless or of poor quality, try to find out a use of them. If you can’t find one, check whether you can graft on another quality.

- Plant the new trees below the ones you want to replace and only cut the old ones down when the new ones need the space. With all these public plants you can produce a lot of free public food to avoid misery and poverty in your country.

- Keep donkeys for transport wherever there are areas with a lot of dry and dangerous flammable material. They will eat it.

- A small number of well-fed animals give more milk than a large number of hungry ones. Don’t let animals’ feet “eat” too much food. If they are confined within closed-in parts of your gardens and fed with all the plants you can cut daily outside and with the leftovers from your family’s raw meals, a small number (not more) of cattle improve your self-sufficient system and provide the basic subsistence for every family, especially during winter. After some time, take your animals to another piece of land and sow vegetables on the well-fertilized area. If necessary, till the land with your animals. You can use many wild areas for animals, too. Of course you’ll always need somebody to herdt the cattle when they are wandering around. Keep most of your animals mainly for milk and eggs, some for transport and labour, but not for producing meat any more.

- Your diet should be based on all kinds of vegetables, fruits and nuts from trees, and some dairy products all of them natural, that means without any chemicals and eaten raw! Only this support can keep you in the best of health while both improving your environment and using a minimum of extraneous energy.

- Never till your land without sowing suitable plants afterwards. Cultivate all tilled areas, even in summer, with drought-resistant plants. Always give priority to edible plants. Even if you can’t use them for your own meals, your animals or any passers-by will like them. Very resistant species which also often grow without irrigation during summer are water melons, special sorts of squash and beans, Indian corn, and where the level of ground water is not too low even tomatoes.

- Mixed cultures of plants can be more resistant and productive than monocultures.

- If planted in time and with suitable partners, most of our vegetables won’t need too much water. Try to keep a permanent cover of suitable green plants throughout the year. If theres only cactus and watermelon, who is resistant enough for your area during summer, plant and use mainly them. (For your food and the feed of your animals)

- Try to add all drought-resistant wild plants to your meals or at least to your animals’ feed. In winter grow vegetables that can withstand frost. Never fight against plants, let them seed themselves and try to use them for their intended purposes. Even grasses can be important, for example against erosion by wind or water.

- Anybody who cuts any plant has to take it to the animals which can eat the foliage. Welcome all plants that are able to endure the heat and dryness of your summer. Every new species means an increase in the value and richness of your land and shut down all laws who want to prohibite the importation of foreign species!

- Plant self-growing edible depots/stores of the most important plants everywhere possible. Here in Portugal you should cover at least all your rocky areas with the living water depot called figcactus (opuntia). Even its leaves give you a good meal, provide you and your animals with green food, fruits and fruitkernels (substitute for cereals) all through the summer (Donkeys and horses don’t eat them. So you can plant cacti even where you keep these animals).

- Never burn dry grass, plants, trees or branches! – Ferment and compost them in your walled beds or use them for fencing. The easiest and best way to convert them into fertilizer is with the help of cattle. Particularly donkeys, but also mules or horses can even eat dry branches.

- Try to avoid the use of any fire or burning process whatsoever! If we waste all our fossile energies by using cars, machines, central heating…, we pollute our environment and destroy the balance of the whole planet already by exploiting fossil energies. The use of fire has already reduced oxygen within our atmosphere to less than half of its former amount!

- Never use chemicals, medicine or artificial fertilizers any more! You won’t need them when you live and eat naturally. They’re just toxins!

- Fight bush-fires and burning forests with all your energy during summer. Send troops to extinguish them immediately. Making a fire means war against nature and therefore against all of us, against the welfare, health, happiness and supplies … of thousands of citizens.

- Try to stop all technical radiators/transmitters. They all cause radiation damage! We would feel a thousand times better on this planet if they didn’t assault our bodies any more. Especially in southern areas the microwaves from wireless telecommunication systems don’t only damage us, our health and well-being, but also our animals and gardens. Where radiation burns down on us we can hardly raise animals, and some kinds of trees (e.g. walnuttrees) get their leaves burnt already when the temperature rises up to 40oC in the shade. In regions without microwaveradiation the same trees can stand up to 46oC and more without getting burnt.

- Create schools, information centers; teach people as soon as possible about this natural way out of decadence, misery, illness and pain and the looming apocalypse.

Healing inside and outside

As already mentioned, the change of life and diet to a natural way would heal not only the environment, but also the bodies and even the psyche of the inhabitants of a city. By giving them just natural food, you could even heal criminals in a prison as well as sick people in hospitals or psychiatric institutions. It’s not easy to leave behind this so-called civilisation, but if we understand that the healing process is just based on detoxication (during mental and physical illness) and starts with living and eating naturally, we already have an idea of how it works. Consumer civilization is not very much more than a drug, a bad trip or dream. Citizens of the modern world are addicts, who have to go through their detoxication and withdrawal treatments. They have to suffer their “flashbacks” of all the unnatural sins they’ve committed and the wrong things they’ve eaten during their lives.

As you can probably already see now, my (Paradise Island) System would stop all unemployment and boredom and is not an enemy of the economy, but creates another kind of natural economic structure that is really based on a solid foundation and will give us independence from all unnatural products, labour, money or employment… It will create the real freedom of every man, woman and child which is promised in the Bible, where everybody will sit under their own fig tree drinking their own wine.

Natural Laws and Order

NATURAL BIRTH AND DEATH

The most important moments in our lives are birth and death. If we disobey the laws of nature or manipulate these two natural processes, we can cause irreparable damage in our earthly and eternal life.

Birth

It’s better for the mother to have her baby on the farm because there she will have good food and the life which she is used to. Pregnancy is not an illness, but a natural process, so the mother mustn’t be afraid of it. Natural food and life are the best preparation for a birth without problems. Breastfeeding is not affected because the mother will have a lot of high-quality milk. As babies are very sensitive, they shouldn’t be given vaccines or any other kind of medicine. Vaccines have toxins which stay in the body for a long time, preventing it from cleansing itself. These toxins are very strong and dangerous, damaging part of children’s brains. They can also cause deficiencies. Toxins never cure illnesses; they only block the cleansing of the organism. People usually confuse an artificial cure with vaccines with the resulting suppression of the illness. The blocking of an illness can, finally, cause a serious or fatal, letal illness.

Death

The process of transition to eternal life is even more important than birth. We can cause eternal damage if we manipulate the body during death. When the heart and the brain stop, the soul can take up to three days to leave the body. During this time, the soul gathers information from all the cells of the organism, so it remains intact in eternity, that means a spiritual copy of the body. If the body had operations or transplants, the soul will suffer eternally because it can’t build itself as a whole. Cremation is also bad if the body is burnt before this three-day process has been completed. In order to know if it has indeed finished, we just have to observe the corpse’s face. If it hasn’t got the same appearance and is obviously rotting, this means the process is concluded. We should never cremate or bury corpses that haven’t started to rot. We shouldn’t fear death, particularly if we have lived a natural life. It’s no use going to doctors or the hospital to prolong life, it only impairs eternity. Before dying, we shouldn’t take any drugs, have therapy, operations, transplants or blood transfusions. The families of those who die naturally and in good health, shouldn’t be sad or cry, but fill their hearts with happiness because their loved one just had a successful transition to the eternal world.

Marriage and family:

Dear women, don’t be angry if I say that there won’t be feminism in nature, when you obey God’s laws! There won’t be any women who want to be men and men who act like women, who have a lack of manliness and virility, who are childish or homosexual. With natural life and food grown on everybody’s own land, mankind will be able to return to solid families again. Every man who is able and willing to raise a family will need his wife and every woman will need her husband. And the children will need their parents because they’ll grow up on the land where they were born. And their parents will not send them away to cities and schools anymore, where they get totally spoilt for any natural work and lifestyle. They will learn all the really essential things for their lives on their farms. Reading and writing, some mathematics, all the history of ancient times from the parents, grandparents or the house’s own library. They will learn to play musical instruments and acquire knowledge of God and eternal life in the house of their father, too. It is a basic law of nature that every father’s house is considered to be a complete entity, where no one else has any right to interfere. The internal laws of any family and any tribal community are given by the spirit of the Lord.

If a family or tribe wants to succeed, the family – and especially the father – has to be obedient to the following laws of God and nature:

Any sexual intercourse with transfer of sperm means marriage

with all obligations of staying together with the chosen woman for a lifetime. Every couple has to settle down on their own land and live by own energies. Therefore “it” shouldn’t be done before a couple is ready, old enough, willing and able to care for themselves and their children. The only real reason for a divorce is sexual intercourse with another

Note: Any man who is not willing to raise a family and work for wife and children, who just tries to seduce a woman, is betraying this woman and will bring misfortune upon both himself and his chosen wife. Seducing women and abandoning them afterwards is one of the worst crimes men can commit on earth. Of course, the woman has to behave well too. If she struggles and fights against her husband, if she just wants the opposite to what he wants, if she doesn’t want to live naturally and doesn’t follow the laws of God and nature at all, her husband wants to get rid of her, too. But then alone, if she is determined to enforce her will, she can cause such chaos and damage, she can give such a bad example, seduce many other men and women, destroy families and damage her husband’s reputation to such an extent that it’s better if she is totally banned. Our forefathers, the Teutons didn’t divorce and get condemned to pay alimony because of feminist laws, they just killed such a woman and in some regions they sold her.

man. From that point of no return she has to be the wife of the next man. Changing men causes serious damage to a woman’s psyche and genetic purity. The first man who penetrates her transfers his genetic code to the woman’s body and blood and she becomes his wife. From that moment on, she’s genetically separated from her father and his family.

If she doesn’t stay with her first lover,

the next genetic code transferred by another men’s sperm cannot eliminate the one from her first lover. The subsequent genetic mixture will cause a schizoid mental situation. She will not know whose woman she is. After several changes her heart gets cold, she often feels hatred of all men, starts to become selfish and fights against them. Within some years, she’ll be the typical modern type of “liberated” woman who is totally selfish and cannot be trusted any more. Her children very often won’t be recognized by their father as his own soul and blood because they can still have the habits and appearance of a former lover, particularly the first one. If she still has children from her first husband, the genetic influence of a second or third one will turn her body and soul away from the souls and hearts of her children so that she becomes a kind of a stepmother to her own children. This is one of several reasons why it’s the law of nature that every child has to stay in their father’s house, and that the woman is never allowed to be with other men and even take away the father’s children! A child’s soul is always from their father(s)! Their body or appearance, even their habits can seem to be inherited from their mother. But in fact this inheritance is, spiritually regarded, not very much more than a heritage of ancient spirits, demons … based on possession. (Genetic mixture often creates children who seem closer to their mother and who don’t want to set up their own families and stay with their partners later on either.)

Only the woman alone (without children) is able to leave her husband and his family by joining another one. But she really shouldn’t do that if possible! At least not when her children are very young. (under two years old) Because she won’t be a real wife for her new husband when he finds out that she has already been another man’s wife. If we observe all natural laws strictly, it would even be forbidden for him to take her. That’s why some of our forefathers never left those women alive. They wanted to avoid the never- ending results of the breach of these fundamental laws of genetic purity.

Among the populations of the 19th century in central Europe, all “illegitimate” children become servants, workers, farm hands or soldiers. Maybe you think that this was discrimination. But it was a fact that they wouldn’t have been able to manage their own farm properly. Today, especially young couples who don’t want to be bound for a lifetime have the possibility of using contraceptives. If they use any method that doesn’t let any sperm enter the woman, there won’t be responsibility after sexual contact. The responsibility starts and the marriage is made only when sperm enters a woman! And even adultery is only committed bio-genetically when a rival’s sperm really enters a married woman. – Of course her husband will be mistrustful. Even when condoms are used, her genetic entity can hardly considered to be shure any more.

Note: Use only natural methods to avoid pregnancy. Certain plants that create infertility, such as wild yam roots should be preferred. A simple natural method is contraception with salad oil. Use at least one tablespoon of the best natural pressed oil (walnut, olive, herb oil) and put it deep inside the woman’s vagina immediately before or during intercourse. You could use a funnel made of a calabash for this. Massage the emerging liquid all over the woman’s skin to give nourishment and beauty.

Under natural circumstances it’s not normally possible to live alone.

Not for women, not for children, very often not even for the majority of the population. So the most experienced and hardest tried men have to take the responsibility not only for their own family, but also for a number of male and female helpers or servants on their farms. Nobody should think that this is slavery. We got slavery with the machines of this modern world! Our ancestors weren’t oppressed, intoxicated, flayed and exploited the way people are nowadays. There is no stress in nature! – Those farmhands could not marry, but they had the very best food and could work and live naturally. Some of them had illegitimate relationships. But even if they didn’t, the absence of women/men in their lives gave them more freedom and caused fewer problems. They were never alone and lived in the farmcommunity, participating in all the surrounding familylife as well. – With that ancient system only the most capable were allowed to bear children. And even if they had a lot of children there was no increase in the population, because they started their families late, and all the farmhands and even some aunts, uncles, sisters or brothers stayed on the same farm and didn’t marry at all.

Can genetic defects be remedied?

When I saw the effect of cellregeneration through natural food and life, I thought that it might be possible to also regenerate the mentioned female genetic mix-up (because of a promiscuous lifestyle) within a period of seven years. I have already generated five children with such a “second-hand” woman, but still cannot say for sure that it works like that. I can say that all my naturally born and nurtured daughters have become lovely and are even lovelier the younger they are, but the only son born after seven years doesn’t really seem to carry my soul. Maybe I still don’t know him, maybe the bad environmental situation in Portugal in recent years has prevented regeneration. It is remarkable that all the children born to this woman and myself who live and eat naturally are blond-haired and blue-eyed, even though we have brown hair and their mother’s eyes eyes aren’t blue. I think this might be a sign of genetic healing through natural life and food too. Their hair darkened as soon as stress that means unnatural influences (fire, smoke, so-called chemicals, bad food, technical radiation…) entered from outside. I even suppose that mulattos or black people would slowly turn white(r) after generations of eating raw food (without meat!) and living naturally.

Don’t compare me with Hitler and the racism of the Thule-Society, because what I have tried to

Note: I don’t recommend marriages with ethnic foreigners, because they can create problems too. But these more likely result from inner differences. It might be more difficult to adapt and really understand her husband for a woman from another land with other ethnic roots and traditions. Because she has to follow her husband to his place and land (tribal law), she can feel strange there. Probably she will loose her language and all her relatives, too. But this wouldn’t really be tragic if her husband lives and eats naturally. Women never feel bad in paradise. And every woman who lives naturally is able to learn and change. Her daily rate of new cells (“cell renewal”) allows her to change and learn perpetually. – In fact we should stress the importance of avoiding promiscuous relationships with transfer of sperm.

explain has nothing to do with “cleansing” a people by eliminating or discriminating against other races. I just want to show a way to physical, mental and even genetic health for every ethnic group for the whole world! And if I wanted to classify people, those living in the cities of this modern world would be in the lowest position, because they are further away from nature and life than anybody else. Whereas. black people, for example, living close to nature in the jungle of dark Africa could occupy a very high position.

But let’s finish and never resume those stupid discussions about the value of human beings. With this recommended way of life, everybody who really follows it will become “noble”! And the best of all is that there won’t be any reason for envy, because anybody can have the same quality of food and lifestyle in their own garden, with their own work! – Even a king should grow his own vegetables! Why not? – He wants to communicate with the Lord, too, by eating His body (natural food) and drinking His blood (natural drinks/wine)!

The proof of the seven-year regeneration cycle

If I’m able to continue my life on a pure island without pollution and radiation from technology maybe the proof of the seven-year cycle of total regeneration can still be provided. Those things cannot be tested by modern scientists, because they don’t know what natural life is. Their science is still torturing and killing, because they don’t know the laws of God and nature and are far away from respecting life. For us it is sufficient just to live naturally and see what happens as a result. I suppose that we can establish families in the countryside with the genetic one-line children. The other ones will be farmhands or tend towards communitylife and ecological cities.

As long as consumercivilisation exists, we can still send back everybody who doesn’t want to live naturally. So we still have all the possibilities for every kind of personality – even the most unnatural one on our planet. As long as the old society exists, we won’t need any prisons or punishment, because this modern world is already the perfect prison and punishment. Nobody escapes from there!

What is a tribe?

We know a family arises when one father generates children with one or more wives. Even if there are more people working on his farm, only one is allowed to generate children. If there were more men in sexual relationships with women in the same place, it wouldn’t be a tribe any more; we would have to call it a community. Since the times of the hippies, communities may be modern, but so-called democratic communities never worked well and usually broke down with lots of anger and problems. The few communities that existed over a long period suffered perpetual change and wastage, especially of young women.

Our Western governments want(ed) to destroy all family structures.

Feminism was never an invention of women, but of politicians who want(ed) to divide, isolate, exploit and oppress citizens, make them stupid and decadent, force them on to a strict unnatural path (to hell). They destroy(ed) families and homelands, tribes and traditions to create a powerless and dumb mass of isolated working slaves, who wanted or were even addicted to all the useless rubbish they produced. I remember when they started to proclaim “sexual liberty” and fought against laws that protected unborn children. Recently they have demanded equal rights of marriage for homosexuals. They have also fought against “racism”. They have made us believe that we should all give up our country and nationality and intermingle, and that there is no problem in giving our women and daughters to black people or Islamists.

This fight against closed, united families, strong tribes and ethnic entities is very old. During the 4th century, the Romans started to divide the Germanic tribes by prohibiting “incest” (the marriage between brothers and sisters), which was normal among them and led to strong, closed and united families. Nowadays nearly everybody believes that “inbreeding” causes idiots and degeneration. But the opposite is the truth. Intermingling causes degeneration! Not in the first generation, where the so-called hybrideffect seems to produce beautiful people, but from the second on, if a new tribe doesn’t live and eat naturally and keep the tribal laws. Generations of inbreeding are necessary to establish and stabilize a new mixture of different ethnic groups and create a new homogeneous ethnic unit.

It’s very strange that nowadays people have forgotten all the genetic laws of nature. They seem to remember them only when they breed cattle or noble horses.. – What is or was nobility? Who were the noble-blooded? – All over Europe we had the same very few “inbreeding” families for centuries! Why culdn’t Mary Stuart be Queen and had to die? – Because she had already had another lover! For that reason she lost her noble blood! Or let us talk about the Pharaos of ancient Egypt. For them it was the law and theirt duty to stay within their own families! The Pharaoh even had to marry his own daughter! Did they keep those laws because incest causes decadence?

The Communist dream is an illusion!

Don’t think it might be fun to have many kinds of different people living and working together at the same place! – The Communist dream doesn’t work! There won’t be harmony and understanding! The different people will separate, protest, quarrel and create stress, being unable to do any continuous labour even to provide for themselves.

A hundred years ago in the Alps of Austria or Switzerland there were still lots of totally closed self-sufficient villages, where you could find only three or fewer family names. They never married anybody from outside for many generations. And in those very places we could found the most industrious, capable, friendly, respectful and peaceful societies living in the greatest harmony! If we breed cattle or horses, we all know that “incest” doesn’t create idiots. We keep a flock of goats and often don’t even want other goats from outside, because they could destroy the entity of the flock. If we have bred a good he-goat, we let him lead the flock as long as possible. It is known that incest up to three generations has uniting, improving, harmonising effects. Afterwards, those advantages can diminish, because then generations can get too sensitive and too “special”.

We know about the prohibitions of incest for mankind in the Bible and our feeling says that it shouldn’t happen. I think there shouldn’ be at all marriage between mother and son. The relation between father and daughter still should be avoided if possible. But if a sister would like to stay with her brother, it shouldn’t be forbidden. Let’s imagine how natural people would manage if they didn’t know anything about written laws: Sexuality has a different meaning among people who live and eat naturally. Because it’s only the act of sexual intercourse which allows a man to adapt, to integrate (the body and soul of) a foreign woman into his family or tribe. Only in that way can she become the real wife of a man and a real member of a new family or tribe. But there is no need of adaption/integration among brothers and sisters or parents and children. They are already the same family, with the same blood and feeling. So there won’t be the need of any sexual relations between them. That’s why they normally just don’t happen among them! That means that even if such a brother and sister couple stayed together for a lifetime, there probably wouldn’t be any sexual contact between them.

Still a certain need of adaption/integration and therefore a higher probability of sexual contact and attraction can appear within a family, when the chosen woman and her children were/are already genetically mixed, that means genetically influenced by previous lovers. The husband of such a “second-hand” woman needs at least seven years of constant sexual intercourse before he can really consider her to be his wife. – Constant means about twice a week, because spermatozoa can stay alive inside a woman for several days. The probability of all varieties of incest exists in those families. And I think it shouldn’t be prosecuted as a crime.

Attention: I write about all these things because I want to show the truth of natural laws. But I want to point out explicity as well that we don’t have any incestuous relationships inour family!

A real heavy crime is seducing women and leaving them afterwards! If we understand the meaning of genetic influence, we can see, that any woman who already had another lover before already cannot be considered to become a real wife of her later husband any more, unless she didn’t pass the 7-years cell-renewal-process by living and eating natural! Because the genetic influence of a former lover won’t disappear all her life (under unnatural circumstances), the rival and therefore adultury will stay present in that woman’s psyche, blood and genetic disposition.

The Age of Fools

Already when I wrote my first book titled “The Age of Fools”, I proved that almost everything in our modern society is wrong. Very often wrong and right are reversed. – I noticed that “they” attacked almost the entire moral code of the Catholic church. Because they wanted to make them appear ridiculous, those morals might be reasonable and correct. – They were correct, as I was able to prove later on! But there was one exception: – the incest prohibition! That was suspect! Why did they permit adultery, sodomy and every possible perversion, but kept that prohibition, even making a dogma or taboo out of it? – And I argued that this law might be wrong, that it was created or supported by those “Internazionalists” who wanted to destroy the unity of families, tribes and nations in order to oppress and degrade/degenerate people.

Anyway, incest, new/foreign blood, or whatever: In nature nobody has the right to interfere in any familymatter. What we encounter among animals can be considered to be natural, in line with the laws of nature and might be a system that can be used at least by a few human beings as well.

Note: Human beings should reach a higher, a human position. Animals are just natural, not good and not bad, not in heaven and not in hell. Nowadays some species adopted very nasty and unnatural habits too, because they have got in contact with human civilisation (toxins, junk food, prisons, radiation…). So we can encounter habits, such as homosexuality, crime and even feminism, among animals that they didn’t have fifty years ago. Animals who eat meat are killers! Human beings who eat meat….

We don’t have the right to condemn anybody else but ourselves! – And the world should remember that almost every famous ancient nation started with incestuous relationships. Some had a brother and a sister at the beginning; others were started by one strong man who was able to have several wives. All those tribes have never let in foreign men because a man can never be adapted. His Y-chromosomes will conquer, spread and split up the tribe if he generates children. Some sons of some tribes took foreign women, who can generally be adapted, genetically integrated, because they are able to be given a “genetic stamp”, the Y-chromosome from their husbands.

So if we want to get back what the modern world has stolen from us – that is our national and ethnic identity, our origin and homeland, our very own culture and development we have to go back to the country, keep the tribal laws and raise our families, wherever we live on this planet. If we want to keep both peace and understanding for every tribe or ethnic group and all the differences in this world, we should all live naturally, eat raw food and avoid eating any meat. That’s what I want to make possible with this booklet and all the many volumes of the “Paradise Island System”, written in German language.

Natural government for a golden age

The further a society lives away from the laws of God and nature, the more rigid and strong a government have to be if they want to maintain a sufficient degree of order for the survival of their people.

The more decadent a society becomes, the bigger will be the share of robbed or stolen energies (machines, slaves)people need to continue their abundant lifestyle.

The big cities of the modern world can be compared with cancer or parasites on our global organism. And it is to be feared that they would rather kill that organism than make up their minds to change. Therefore the predicted tragic end of those “cities of Babylon” through another World War or the apocalypse might have to come to pass. They have gone much too far and the way back seems to be impossible for the coddled citizens, who would need ages until they would be able to stand on their own ground and live self-sufficiently again.

Of course, we still could try to change something for the better by improving their food and detoxicating and renaturalizing their cities. But the present governments are still doing the opposite. They are clearly blocking the way back to nature, fighting an invisible war against people and trying to kill both the planet and its citizens! You ask why? – Maybe you already know the answer: because on that way back to nature they’ll lose power over their slaves. And they would lose their main means of maintaining their worldwide control – money. Natural life means decentralization, the end of bureaucratization and paper or digital war, the end of total control and domination with the help of computers. And it means the end of invisible backgroundgovernors, who are the real leaders of this world because they own and control both money and economy. A natural kind of government would never be based on taxes, paper money and interests. They could even abolish the money system and do without any money if their people were mature enough. And a natural government of a whole nation would not be based on Communism or be a democracy: it would be a monarchy. Only a king and queen, God’s own chosen and enthroned couple could really lead their nation and free this world from the oppression of invisible forces and their money-system.

In all the natural rebuilt cities and villages the kings would support every autonomous structure and restore all necessary rights of self-organization. (On all the farms in the country it would be the farmer who would maintain natural law and order). Like in the old German “thing”, there would be a meeting of all honest men to decide about the necessities.

Even the right to punish should be limited to the “thing” meetings. But if a family or village wants to get rid of an unbearable person, this person shouldn’t be imprisoned, injured or even killed anymore, but maybe outlawed and taken to a place where other criminals/sinners of the same type must live and work together with their crimes.

Note: We still have enough of those places back in so-called civilization. In the future there could be closed areas or islands, where those unbearable criminals, sinners, lazybones… could work on their own farms as well.

Every responsibility is given back to the individual in a natural rural society. There is no need of insurances or written contracts and no doctor who claims to be responsible for someone’s health anymore. If somebody gets ill or has toothache, he has to stop eating rubbish or/and inhaling toxins. Contracts will be made by a handshake. And elderly people have to be cared for by their families.

Some suggestions for laws to maintain natural order and justice:

The king/government has to introduce laws not to suppress, but to keep his subjects free. A very important requirement is that everybody can work on their land and harvest what they have sown. A warning example comes from Angola. This West African nation has some of the best conditions for self-sufficient agriculture on this planet. But today almost the whole population lives in cities, because in the country they get robbed and even killed by military groups or just bandits as soon as the harvest begins. This country needs a specially designed code of conduct and special laws to go back to nature, too.

Of course, I cannot, nor do I want to write a complete code for everybody and every situation in this small book. Natural justice can’t be written down anyway. Real justice and order must be created within every new situation by wise men, who know and feel the difference between right and wrong, the good and the bad. – But I can give a few ideas and rules, which can be helpful in combating our personal sins or mitigating a total breakdown of any order in the future. Some of the following points might be helpful for Angola too:

- Return of personal rights: Vedan laws know three kinds of enemies that everybody can kill immediately without trial when caught in flagranti. Arsonists, those who carry out attacks with deadly weapons and rapists or seducers of women. Every farmer must have absolute rights on his own farm. There he can carry and use all kinds of weapons, if someone intrudes and disturbs the peace of his home and land. If he tells the intruder to leave and the latter doesn’t obey, he can use his weapons too. Any armed intruder can be considered an enemy.

- Outlawed criminals: If possible, government forces and citizens/civil guards have to clear the country of all unbearable criminals. Every criminal can be tattooed on a visible part of his body with the special sign or symbol of his crime. If nobody wants to keep him as a farmhand anymore, he must be outlawed. The governors won’t punish them any more severely than with deportation to a closed area of land (an island) without any law and order, where similar kinds of outlawed criminals have to live self-sufficiently among themselves.

Note: Nowadays it would still be much easier to isolate the very few good people, because in many regions there are too many bad people and criminals. If we have more than 99.9% of the population violating the laws of God and nature, we can easily single out those very few, take them to a natural area and close it off from the rest of the world. – If only one family or tribe living naturally is able to stay clean and obedient to the laws, they can avoid the total destruction of this planet (God’s and nature’s law).

- Protection of women: We should distinguish different classes and lifestyles in order to give protection to pure and natural women. Women who live naturally, who are still virgins or wives of their first husband must become untouchable and protected against any seducer, rapist or unfaithful groom. I suggest every woman should wear a wooden amulet where her familysymbol, name and degree of pureness/marriage are engraved. Secret information might be engraved on the back. With this amulet she can give preliminary information and warn any man who might be interested in her. If a woman has already started a promiscuous life and wants to continue it, or if a woman only wants sexual contact without the transfer of sperm, this can be shown as well by special engraved symbols hidden on the back, which explain her situation/wishes to man who approaches her. In this way he might be informed that a certain sexual relationship with or without responsibility can be possible with her. There can only be sexual relations without lifetimeresponsibility if there is definitely no transfer of any sperm to a woman’s vagina. At least a man should always try to make her his wife and stay with her after having intercourse, even if she is a prostitute. Of course it would be better for him to check her out before rather than after having intercourse! Every woman should make a careful choice, too, and stay with her chosen man. There should never be any real intercourse without the firm intention of staying together for a lifetime (there should also already be the possibility of living naturally on the couple’s own land). Even if promiscuous women (and their “lovers”) can avoid pregnancy, the damage stays in the woman’s body, consciousness and mind. If we know and understand that all sins or crimes against the laws of God and nature have an effect on our environment, too, we won’t want to live among any kind of sinners anymore. There is an exact correlation between nature and humans. For example, hidden, prohibited sexual urges relate to fire or hidden, concealed fire (volcanism). And real fire can break out even when only the wish exists. If mankind is good, there will be paradise, because everybody will create paradises; if not, humans create some kind of hell and attract misfortune or even catastrophes. If the summit of mankind becomes evil, they will attract, create and deserve the global apocalypse.

- Some examples of laws to survive “civilization”: 1. There is no right to patent any invention. Every inventor received his invention through the holy spririt of the Lord and gives it to all men. 2. It’s absolutely ridiculous and criminal if the dealers of this world are already trying to patent plants, living beings or even water. 3. Any genetic manipulation is forbidden. 4. Any manipulation of seeds which means that a plant cannot be sown again is forbidden and criminal. 5. Any intoxication with any artificial, unnatural material especially of food, wine, water and the atmosphere is forbidden and a serious crime. 6. It is forbidden to sell destroyed, dead food (any food treated by fire, radiation, freezing…) 7. It is forbidden to feed animals with intoxicated, unnatural, dead… food or use toxic medicine and vaccines to suppress the illness of the intoxicated animal. 8. It is strictly forbidden to set up any more panics and paranoia against any bacteria, virus, microbe… in order to oppress and imprison humans and animals and to sell and apply toxic or even deadly medicaments, vaccins, treatments… through special laws “against” epedemies. 8. Self supplying agriculture, natural farming on their own land has to be subventioned, made possible for anybody who wants it. 9. It is forbidden to use techniques which cause damage to people other than the user.

Note: The disadvantages of nearly all modern technology are much greater than its advantages. So we should all try to avoid the use of everything which isn’t really essential and necessary. We should also put an end to all useless work in order to have enough time for everybody to establish/cultivate their own gardens and keep cattle.

- Some laws concerning government and finances: 1. Every nation can only be governed by its own governors of the same nationality and religion. 2. It is highly criminal to finance governments and their members in order to make them obedient to foreign interests. 3. For any member of a government it is considered to be high treasure, if he or she belongs to any secret society or if she/he is obedient to another nations or private interests. 4. As long as money is still used, (the leader of) every nation has its own currency, the only right, to print money, to control it and to set up taxes or money interests. To prevent the misuse of money by the governement, there will be the need of an independant national banking-system too. 5. It is forbidden to sell any national property to foreigners. Any important industry, especially media/tele-communication, pharmacy/health, energy, agriculture, food, water must never be privatisized any more. 6. For a nation and her government it is forbidden to borough foreign money and to make debts. 7. Any actual debt has to be remitted within a period of seven years, if the debtor is unable to pay his duties. 8. It is considered to be criminal, to interfere, to make dependant, to manipulate, rule, oppress nations and their leaders with money, violence, terrorism, by setting up revolutions or wars. (Always try to find out the intriguer, traitor, initiator, usufructuary… those who agressed, started, financed, armed… any violent situation and bring them all onto a claimed battlefield, where they can fight and kill each others.) 9. None of the citizens all over the world want a worldwide communist government, ruled by the international bankers. Any national government has to be restricted on their real duties of only maintaining law and order for everybodies freedom from slavery and oppression. 10. Everybodies private property, his house, his family, his land, where he can grow enough food and keep cattle for his own supply, are untouchable. Noone has there any right to interfere, to set up any taxes or duties. (like compulsary education or military service, compulsory medical treatments, land taxes, generally any prescription or burocratic obstacle)

P.I. System/ Settlement projects

Aassessing the suitability of land for settlement

If you intend to settle abroad, possibly even on new territory, you should ask a number of questions beforehand and obtain information. Below I list some important questions to ask:

1.) Travel to the location: Exact place name, description of the location, travel from (air)port,

informed people, mediator, people with knowledge of the location, escort, embassy …. If

possible make a travel report/journal or have one made. Mention all stops, overnight stays,

expenses, important shopping facilities for diet-conscious travellers, persons of trust,

routes, passages, aids, dangers, ways and detours, waiting times, possibilities for

working/earning money on the way ….

2.) Entry conditions: What are the country’s entry requirements for you and your

family/community?

a) Where to register? What documents are necessary?

b) Money, evidence of income, amount of minimum investment, professional qualifications

….?

c) Language knowledge. What languages are spoken where / how well understood?

d) Is there the possibility of obtaining citizenship at no expense? – for example, contract of

employment, settler projects, possession of land, setting up a firm, acquiring free land,

marriage to a native ….? (Further conditions connected to this, e.g. social security,

minimum wages/salaries for employees, basic capital, fee for notary public/lawyer, etc.)

e) After marrying a native, can you bring your own family over from Europe? Are there

maintained, repaired, built up/converted? …. Here the lessee should/can make interesting

concessions for the owner. Lessee and lessor should know each other as well as possible

and have similar ideas and goals concerning the establishment of self-sufficiency

systems.

Tip: Never start on land belonging to people whose living and eating habits are too different from yours. Otherwise the crash is pre-programmed! After the laborious and costly establishment of the Paradise Island there will then follow enemies of nature and God, who will destroy everything again as fast as possible.

Model text:

The lessee/manager/gardener/the P.I. family …. (or another suitable designation) undertakes to make all possible effort to maintain and look after the mentioned property, to transform more areas into paradise gardens in line with the P.I. System each year, keep the following animals: ……………….,.

establish a self-sufficient system and living facilities for …. people, to lead a natural, retiring and quiet/peaceful, inconspicuous life during the construction period, not to receive any other guests and to hand over the property either 1.) unconditionally to the owner or his agent on …………. (date)or 2.) to pay the sum of ……………for it to the owner.

Of course, a lot of other agreements can be concluded. If the land is to be developed into a P.I. System living island and is to serve as a park for nature lovers, other regulations for visitors will have to be fixed accordingly. As a rule, the manager/P.I. family father determines what visitors are to be admitted. If the project is to be self-financed by the guest house/life school, the basic criteria for admission to the P.I. system could be used for applicants, regional house rules and other regulations.

During the construction time cooperation or visits, in cases of emergency taking in and caring for the visitor earlier than planned, could, of course, be agreed with the owner. (Concerning this, see P.I. System/”New info package” or “Collected articles/Ecological practice, vol. 4”)

Furthermore, you could come to financial agreements, which make the settlement sustainable and viable for both sides. Depending on the host country, you could found an association or club, register an SA (limited company) or select a particular legal form which is suitable for the project and country. As a rule, this is not the usual tenancy agreement where the tenant pays but the owner and the tenant may form a community of interests. The landlord/owner gets a capable construction and work troop on the spot and he should also pay them for their practical ecological work, if possible.

Paradise Island families do not, however, want to get “rich”, but it is often enough if they can settle and establish their farms in natural locations without paying rent and fees.

It may be necessary to bear/make or settle government demands and fixed costs (taxes, fees ….) for immigrants. The current living expenses for the beginning/the first few years should be covered by the settlers, if possible.

The landlord has a certain guarantee of success, if he chooses people trained in ecological practice from our circle, who have already proved themselves in the team and the family in conditions similar to those of the location or are known to be competent. Besides, then he also knows the target plan from the System literature and knows at least what his tenant and the construction team (should) intend to do.

P.I. System / Application

Aptitude test, self-examination

for admission to the settler community

Dear Interested Person,

With settlement projects probably more than in any other business, the most important things are all character, health, hereditary, moral and ethic requirements, real team skills, mutual understanding and recognition, deep religiosity and modesty, williness to live a simple life and do without the great “temptations” of the wide world, working continually without any “time off”, holidays and holiday trips, humility and dedication, industry and meekness, inner satisfaction and absence of demands, loyalty and constancy ….

The natural environment is totally different from that of civilisation. It makes people small and modest, drives out any illusions of grandeur, conceit and miseducation. It has a profound effect because all the burdens and vices from one’s old life became apparent there, every person must atone for their burden of sin laboriously and at times under a considerable mental strain and is not spared even the slightest part of this process.

People who want to leave “civilisation” must relearn radically and will some time or other experience that what they have brought with them from there dissolves and becomes void. They will be frightened by their inner emptiness, deeply regret their wrong ways and incapability …. but they will have to recognise that there is no better way out of their misery. They will experience on this way that all previously practised “ways out” such as escape into consumerism, town life, distractions, drugs, futile work …. or even suicide are no ways out or are dead-ends.

In brief: the life school is hard and unrelenting. The practical way out of “civilisation” is no picnic. If you want to succeed, you must be prepared. Many people who at first think they want to go this way turn back as soon as they are stretched to their “limits” and things become serious.

Groups of settlers who want to be successful or survive must therefore select their partners carefully and check them out over many years before they dare take the step with them on to free, independent settling land. If these preliminary tests are not done and if the people who disobey the divine natural order and do not keep to the basic laws of the rules for settler communities, you will have to reckon with insurmountable difficulties.

Everyone who comes from “civilisation” is burdened, indeed inundated with every conceivable rubbish. However, there are still considerable differences in the pre-conditions of different people. The purpose of the following questions is to avoid wrong choices of partners and wrong ways in future, to recommend everyone the place which is right for them personally and to put them in contact with a suitable family/community.

What did you like/dislike?

Exclusion of liability:

The settler community can in no way be held responsible for any failures, disappointments, damage, accidents during or after the learning period or mental consequences and subsequent difficulties with a possible reintegration into “civilisation”. Every life learner lives in the community with full responsibility for themselves. Life learners can, however, be held responsible for damage to community property or persons carried out deliberately or through negligence.

Objects and money which have been contributed to the community are used to support the community or become the property of the instructors (and/or of the community of settlers/core family) on account of the services they have rendered and will not be returned if the donor leaves the community. Personal property which is to remain as such must be designated as such from the start (in writing).

Every life learner is free to terminate their instruction and leave at any time. Likewise, the head/father of the group of settlers can dismiss a learner at any time without giving reasons.

Above all with young learners, the relatives should also guarantee that they will be responsible in cases of damage and will not take recourse or institute legal proceedings in cases of failure (illness, accident, even suicide).

Chapter 2              Written by Reinhold Schweikert,   email: paradiesinselfamilie@gmail.com

Plan for establishing a self-sufficient farm on two hectares of land

in southern or central Europe

Completely self-sufficient smallholding for a family or community

My first concept for a smallholding suitable for one family in P.I. System/Short articles, volume 4 can still be recommended but it is probably still too “alternative” and “freaky” for the present civilised citizens and therefore not acceptable or attractive enough. As I do not only wish to address eco-freaks nor want to assume that all the people in the north will be satisfied with the extremely simple buildings I suggested at that time, I have created another draft plan, which this time also deals with the financial side of its profitability, namely various possibilities of running such a smallholding within a consumer society. Furthermore, I would also like to write in more detail about the way such a smallholding functions and operates so that every prospective P.I family is able to understand it exactly and finally establish one themselves.

Overall objective: corridors or allotments separated by fruit hedges,

in which rows of fruit trees can grow without the risk of animals nibbling them

As you can see in the drawing, we plant various systems of fruit hedges to separate and secure the various corridors of vegetables and the grazing area. It can be that in northern countries too much shade may develop in the course of the years so that certain vegetables can no longer ripen sufficiently in some of the fruit woods which gradually grow up. However, we can then keep the farmyard largely free of big trees for such vegetables. Otherwise you can leave more space between the trees.

Note: Normal corridor rows of trees with fruit with stones and kernels are separated by single hedges at a distance of 4m and double hedges with 5m between the rows. They are normally planted in a north-south direction. It is possible to plant lower hedges of up to 1.5m in height between them for climbing plants. In less sunny regions the distance between the rows of trees can be increased to 10m so that the fruit can ripen better. Such larger distances are also to be recommended for trees with tall trunks. You can obtain information about the ideal distances for each sort from your local nursery.

More sunshine will also be able to penetrate if you use small trees. However, very small fruit trees are not favourable for mixed hedges because they are then not able to grow up above the hedge area. But you can, if you wish, create lower hedges inbetween to support climbing vegetables (beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, peas).

However, if we want the corridors gradually to become fruit woods in which our animals can also live as in paradise, these areas will no longer be primarily needed for vegetables but will provide us and our goats, chickens, horses and bees with the best living space and high-grade food in the form of leaves, fruit, nuts, milk, honey and eggs.

Note: I anticipate that it will no longer be possible to keep domestic animals except under optimal conditions in view of the growing environmental pollution especially from electromagnetic radiation. The protection of a fruit wood, fully dunged plants, windfall fruit, non-toxic fauna and flora, protective buildings, the possibility of receiving food and care from humans …. are most likely to help our valuable providers of milk, honey and eggs to stay healthy during the difficult years that are to be expected.

Of course, the same also applies to humans, whose cell material is becoming so poor on account of all the unnatural harmful effects that finally all the dubious methods (poisons, surgical operations, radiation ….) of medical prevention of detoxification will not be able to protect them from attacks from viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites …., which are becoming more and more deadly.

Anyone who today goes into a tropical forest with their completely decadent “civvy” body will be eaten up by insects or parasites within a short time or they will get devastating “diseases”. It is a mystery to me how the “civvies” want to protect themselves in future from the natural police (viruses, bacteria, fungal infections, parasites, insects ….)! With more and more decadent cell substance it is becoming more and more impossible to go outside the “germ-free” area.

Ergo: When establishing your farm, think about humans and domestic animals. Low hedges can easily be used, for example, for grapevines to climb on and some of the grapes can then also be pecked off by the chickens in autumn and the vine leaves are valuable for the goats.

Establishing fruit woods always remains our objective

You must always remember that only in the fruit woods or fruit orchards will there be sufficiently large amounts of nuts and fruit, nectar and leaves and thus food for humans and animals. Therefore we will also build up our main supply of food principally from this fruit from the trees in the wood and the products of the residents of the fruit woods, meaning nuts, honey, milk and eggs, none of which cost us anything. – Even though I don’t want to diminish the important of vegetables, we must, however, recognise that the above-mentioned foodstuffs require almost no work, at least in good climatic conditions, once the P.I. System farm has been established.

————————————————————————————–

Without a fruit wood we would not be able to harvest either specific human or animal food to such a large extent. It would by no means provide a habitat for so many living creatures and plants and, above all, the quality of life and food for all those concerned would not be nearly as high if we only cultivated the fields.

—————————————————————————————

We should also consider the wider positive impact of such fruit woods on our climate and air for breathing or on the cleansing of our planet.

Vegetables in fruit woods?

In our fruit woods we grow cabbages, Jerusalem artichokes, courgettes, in general all types of lettuces and leafy vegetables, also fennel, carrots and other root vegetables. We still have lettuce when everything has long dried up everywhere else. Cucumbers, beans and courgettes or pumpkins climbing on the trees are protected from the harsh rays of the sun in summer. – Only where it is really dark under trees or where there are strong trees with shallow roots do low vegetable plants die for want of light and nutrients. But even in dark woods there is room for useful plants. I am thinking of certain sorts of strawberry, for example,.

Some possibilities for growing plants in corridors in fruit woods

a) Courgettes can be planted in the rows of trees where you should build up a bank of compost material (twigs, mulch, grass sods …) on both sides (so that the trees stand in a valley, a compost trench). We grow Jerusalem artichokes or sweet corn and brassica oleracea between the rows. The chickens can be let into this corridor in autumn.

Drawings:

a) We dig two parallel approx. 1m-wide trenches along less dense rows of (young) trees and

fill them with mulching material to form heaps. We plant or sow courgettes or pumpkins in

the space between the mulching material and the earth bank on both of the outer sides. We

plant cucumbers along both the inner sides along the path in the middle and put up nets

about 1m high for them to climb on.

b) With denser rows of trees we can let the cucumbers climb into the treetops on strings.

c) Older and therefore often very dense hollow paths or fruit wood paths can simply be sown

with pumpkins and the shoots which grow over the path are covered again and again with

mulching material so that they climb more and more strongly sideways out of the mulched

path into the trees. Pumpkins hanging on the trees often fall to the ground before they

are fully ripe because of their great weight, as big pears do. – Water them sufficiently, but

never splash water on their leaves because of the risk of mould. Pay attention to the danger

of mice. – With this special method of growing cucumbers you will not only obtain record

amounts but also optimal tree growth. – This time even without manure, only with mulch

from grass, leaves, straw, branches ….! Of course, especially the first method is sometimes

also suitable for other vegetables (such as paprikas, potatoes, tomatoes and beans) and for

open land without trees. There you can also grow melons in this way.

d) We plant cucumbers and/or runner beans along another row of trees or hedge, also with a

bank of compost at the side and protected with branches against scratching. If there are

Jerusalem artichokes inbetween, hens can be let into this corridor the whole year. This

corridor where the hens scratch should be constantly filled up with mulching material and

watered. Then the rows of trees will grow enormously and we can also use them to create

“living houses” – for this we twist and entwine the shoots or tops of two rows of trees of

the same kind which grow into each other.

e) We use a shady wood corridor for leafy vegetables and lettuce. Here we just garden,

constantly dung with fine goat manure, fermented liquid manure, lime …. and break or

regulate too strong sunshine by means of some cleverly placed Jerusalem artichokes. No

chickens in the lettuce garden! It is scarcely possible to grow lettuce in the hot southern

summer. You would have to water it every morning and evening.

Gardening in a wood

is different from the usual gardening in the open on fields and beds. You only cultivate superficially, if at all. Otherwise you mulch and plant, cut out unwanted plants for the goats or let the chickens clear a corridor completely ready for sowing. You often only scatter seed on patches of naked soil and cover them with fine goat manure or shredded material. A lot of plants sow themselves . You should not fight inhabitants of any kind, whether plants or animals as this is senseless and too time-consuming. Instead we observe and “study” certain cycles and symbioses. Where we plant Jerusalem artichokes, for example, we must reckon immediately with large numbers of voles, if we leave the tubers in the earth in autumn, as is usual, until they are to be eaten,. They, in turn, can attract small predatory animals and wild cats. (Chickens also catch and eat mice!) The predatory animals may then also at the same time reduce the tits to a bearable number so that fewer buds on the almond trees and berry bushes get eaten in winter and there are thus bigger crops.

Sun-hungry vegetables

If necessary, we can also regulate the amount of sunshine in all corridors by cutting back the foliage of the trees, but we mostly prefer to wait with the radical pruning until late summer. However, leaves that are cut shortly because they fall from the trees often no longer taste very good to the animals.

If we know how to use the time when the leaves fall in autumn (thus letting in more light again) and the time when the leaves grow in spring (protection against sun and frost), we can use the wood like a living greenhouse to lengthen the growing period of many useful plants.

Photo: Cucumbers like to climb on trees, protected in the moist and shady summer fruit wood.

It is, however, beyond doubt that many kinds of vegetables, especially fruit vegetables only develop their best quality and provide mass crops in the full sun. Open areas in full sunshine are no problem in the initial years of growing the fruit hedges or woods. But later we will reserve the yard for our precious vegetables and

Note: In these sunnier outer areas we mainly grow for ourselves and our animals sun-hungry food plants which take up a lot of space, such as sweet corn, potatoes, tomatoes, melons, pumpkins, cabbage, possibly also sunflowers, rye, oats, barley and wheat. In the fields we also grow vegetables for winter storage, for example, onions and carrots, beetroot, cabbages and turnips to feed the animals and perhaps the black winter radish as well.

we repeatedly use the edges of the grazing areas for our field vegetables. – We can then keep our dairy animals and chickens as we wish in the corridors between the rows of trees, which have now grown up high.

Not all trees are suitable for a fruit wood

It is better that all too strongly growing trees and, above all, types of trees with shallow roots do not stand in the corridors or young fruit woods, since such trees greatly hamper vegetable growing and push out the fruit trees. It is not possible to work the soil in an area where there are shallow roots. – Therefore I have placed only stone fruit trees on one side and on the other apples and small pear trees in the present plan. I had already planned the large pear trees and some oaks for the peripheral wall of plants. But if you still want to use the space under the fast-growing trees with shallow roots for gardening, I recommend planting vegetables with deep roots there or simply putitng trees in pots there. (Propagation of seedlings, potted fruit plants, orangeries ….)

Photo: Well-dunged mimosas are fast-growing trees with shallow roots and after a few years they will be taller than all your fruit trees. They can get along with the latter but not with vegetable growing. These trees provide the first pollen for the bees with us here in Portugal and good protection from frost and sun, which is why we grow trees in pots under them.

——————————————————————————————-

We must manage our sunshine as well as a solar energy technician does if our farms are to function according to plan and our products are to attain a high quality.

——————————————————————————————–

Caution with huge trees

Of the large selection of tall umbrella-shaped or large trees I recommend some oaks – if possible with sweet acorns – on the periphery on account of their excellent nutritional and life quality, chestnuts in the front yard, perhaps a linden tree in the yard, walnuts in the grazing area and hazelnut bushes or trees in the boundary fences, or rather almonds in hot regions. You are welcome to modify my plan. – For example, plant oaks in the grazing area and walnuts in the wall of plants between the garden and grazing meadow or add some other kinds. Both variants have advantages and disadvantages. But you should be very restrained with other “giants” on a two-hectare farm, from which you really want to live with your family and animals.

In general we want to transform as much sunshine as possible into fruit, nuts, vegetables …., i.e. primarily agricultural crops, and secondly into milk, eggs and honey.We will select our plant-animal community especially with this aspect in mind and create an ecological balance and symbioses and food cycles which are as useful as possible and in which, above all, humans can be involved as well.

Autonomy guaranteed!

Once the described farm has been established, we will in fact largely achieve independence and autonomy for ourselves and our animals. – Even concerning “concentrated food” for animals we can store acorns and chestnuts for times of scarcity – provided we pick them industriously.

We have no space to spare!

Trees which are mainly only useful for their wood or which don’t get on with our vegetables and fruit trees should therefore be planted outside our farm, in places far from humans or only where the more sensitive fruit and nut trees do not thrive.

You should exercise special caution with all coniferous trees! Since they are highly inflammable, they should not even be planted at the edges of our farms but preferably only stand in places which suit them, namely in mountains, cold regions or in barren, infertile areas.

Some conifers are, of course, very resistant to heat and drought, which is why they have been successfully grown in a lot of regions in the south. However, before you plant a grove of pines, for example, you should look again for more useful alternatives (such as oaks, chestnuts, almonds ….) and, above all, consider the fire risk.

——————————————————————————————

Lesson from the burning summer of 2003: Don’t plant any flammable trees in avenues or by roadsides! Keep all roadsides either green (with watering) or free from grass! Construct reservoirs, dams, ponds …. wherever possible.

————————————————————————————-

Trees at risk from fire

The following trees can burn but are not so flammable if they are planted and looked after properly:

With eucalyptus, for example, especially the bark, which constantly peels off and collects on the ground, burns. There will be no problem if you collect it regularly to mulch the garden or burn in winter. Even broom does not immediately start to blaze when it is green and there are no dried up twigs in the bush. The side branches of pines/conifers must be removed up to a considerable height. There should be no branches lying on the ground nor tall standing grass. Don’t plant your trees too close together! Cork trees and oaks are relatively robust and can survive a bush fire. The problem with these, however, is the layers of leaves falling every year, which hardly rot and pile up in a thick covering, which immediately catches fire when the leaves are dry and then goes on glowing for days, sometimes even under rocks until it can break out into an open fire again. It is difficult to cut dry branches out of thick and wide thorny hedges and so they constitute a certain fire risk.

Ergo: keep hedges and woods clean! Don’t plant flammable trees too close together or in dangerous areas.

The fruit hedges

We separate all the corridors by hedges as thick as possible so that chickens and also goats (possibly sheep) can be let on to every enclosed piece of land as required or can be kept out. Corridors of fruit trees, whose hedges should only consist of weaker fruit bushes (currants) or small trees, could be made additionally secure with wire fences. Even if initially only every second or third row of trees is made into a single or double hedge impenetrable for animals, there will be sufficient plots for switching the animals.

—————————————————————————————–

We must know that the more individual plots we separateoff with hedges (or filled walls),

the more animals and humans find food and shelter on our farm,

the better we can use our animals as assistant gardeners,

the faster our fruit trees grow and .

the better the quality of everything for humans and animals!

—————————————————————————————–

There is also the possibility of placing the berries which are vulnerable to animals nibbling inside double hedges consisting of robust plants.

Some examples of hedges:

A: Double quince hedge with berries: We plant two parallel rows of quince hedges with a distance of one metre or more between them. In the middle you can plant currants or raspberries or cultivated pear trees with the usual distance between them. All quince hedges can be connected to the pears, intertwined with them, pruned according to your wishes/needs and also made very dense by rooting as many of the growing branches as you like. For this you take a long shoot, sharpen the tip a little, bend it downwards and stick it in the soil as firmly and deep as possible so that it can take root. In this way you can even make the hedge chicken-proof. Bantams or chicks will, however, mostly still be able to find a place to slip through or under the hedge. You will certainly wonder how berries hidden in such double hedges can be picked at all. This is certainly a justified question. – In the case of blackcurrants the shoots with berries on them can grow out of the quince hedge every year and be eaten back by the dairy animals again after the harvest. (Redcurrants, whose older shoots always have to be completely cut out, would be less favourable here.) Raspberries have a firm support from the quince corset and don’t need to be tied.

In warmer regions use, above all, all possible kinds of grapevines!

From our experience you can find ripe fruit

In our crop gardens it is not a matter of producing harvestable market goods as quickly as possible but of feeding people and animals directly in them. And these will put up with some difficulties in picking if, in return, they can achieve real self-sufficiency, all the food thrives on a very small area and their surroundings or garden habitat is really a paradise.

But we should not pick all the fruit, berries and nuts ourselves at all! For after all our domestic animals are supposed to live from them as well! Raspberries that have fallen to the ground, for example, would still be very popular food for the bantams. If the raspberries grow too far out of the hedge, we let the goats take care of it.

In general we can say that we may sometimes really have some difficulty with care and harvesting when using this intensive method of simultaneously planting vegetables and fruit combined with keeping animals. The difficulties are greater where systems of double thorny hedges are used, as they cannot always be eaten back by the animals everywhere but have to be cut back by us if need be. For example, I sometimes had to almost creep through the original paths in some corridors where cucumbers were climbing on trees. When pumpkins grow wild and climb on the trees you sometimes feel as if you are in a jungle. – But such difficulties do not put any strain on us at all. Compared with driving to the town and purchasing inferior products costing a lot of money, we have to put up with far less trouble and stress in our paradise garden in any case.

————————————————————————————————

The following rule applies: the more densely and concentratedly all the components grow and live near us on a small area, the shorter our “shopping distance” is and the more people can live and eat naturally there with full quality of food and life.

————————————————————————————————

B: Jostaberry hedges: This sort of berry bush grows fast enough and attains a sufficient size for it to be thick and large enough to protect trees and fence in hoofed animals, at least for a short time.

C: Roses and apples: You can also only plant this combination of hedges impenetrable for hoofed animals in a single row and also with a small number of (rose) cuttings and layers(shoots rooted by bending them downwards) in the inner corridor area. Any rose hedges in the grazing area should, of course, be planted in double rows and possibly have additional supporting elements (quinces). It holds moisture very well and can withstand drought. Even in times of severe drought you can always find some moisture in the ground under rose hedges.

D: Mixed hedges: We have chosen a combination of roses, blackberries, quinces and grapevines to separate the grazing and garden areas. Peaches, plums and apricots stand in this hedge for protection and grow up above it.

E: Hedges from a single species of fruit: We can, in principle, grow any kind of tree in the form of a hedge. Especially wild fruit trees often tend to have spreading roots or have masses of seedlings in spring because we didn’t want to pick their poor fruit and simply left it on the ground. And so in spring you often have countless little trees which you can plant close together in hedgerows. Sorts which grow larger – even plums can be sufficient – can be planted very close together (10-20 cm) for a certain distance so that you can later twist and entwine them to make a “living house”.

In my opinion, it is therefore also more favourable always to plant the same species in the corridors, that means either stone fruit or pears, medlars and quinces or types of apple! Only one of these three groups in each case! – Because the blossoms can be better fertilised but also because of the possibilities for later coupling and grafting them or constructing houses from them.

Stronger and weakers types

If there are fast-growing wild trees, especially ones with shallow roots, in a mixed hedge, it may happen that the lower hedge plants, such as berries, are not able to develop sufficiently and stay alive. There you can use our “filled walls” (walls made of twigs which are supported and made firm at the sides) so that there are nevertheless no spaces in such cases. If we want to bridge too dry places, this may possibly only work with plants which exchange sap via spreading roots, via layering above ground or branches which have grown together (intertwining). Then the plants standing on moist ground can supply water to those which have little of it.

—————————————————————————————

All our fruit trees can be planted in all hedges without any problem.

—————————————————————————————-

Keeping poultry in the corridors

If three corridors from rows of trees are combined in each case to form a compact enclosed piece of land, you don’t need as many doors to the directly adjoining farm ring building.

Improvement: It would be better to plan a ring road along the outside of the ring building so that animals can be let out from all the stable and stall areas or exits into each corridor and materials accumulating in the corridors can be transported away and filled into the walls.

Otherwise it would be necessary to make a separate door to the ring building from every corridor, which would, in turn, have to be designed in such a way that there was a small door or trapdoor in every door so that the bantams and chicks, for example, but not the normal races could get through. Then we can let our poultry into any garden plots that can bear chickens to look for food and only let bantams and chicks, which the garden can tolerate, or no poultry at all into too vulnerable or freshly sown cultivated gardens, as we wish. Almost any part of the garden can tolerate a couple of bantams or a brooding hen from our feathery-legged bantams. Here it is important to be able to feed as many chickens as possible from your own land. This will be all the easier, the more extensive the scratching areas are and, above all, when they can be varied. The insect and plant populations quickly recover in a corridor which is closed off for just a few days. The many hedges and filled twig walls provide insects and small animals with enough food and shelter so that here there are natural feeding machines for chickens virtually everywhere. Unfortunately there may also be ideal hiding places for predatory animals.

Keeping out predatory animals and fire

Therefore, when building the farm, exercise especial care beforehand to ensure there are areas free of predators for all the chickens at least in the corridor area. It would, of course, be best to seal off the entire farm hermetically on the outside against all intruders. A wall as high as possible (at least 2 m) would be better than a wire fence in this case because it also offers protection from fire. If you choose wire fencing for the exterior boundary, the adjoining grazing land and fields can still offer sufficient protection against fire. This exterior ring strip should be 20 m wide or more. The animals, particularly sheep, horses and donkeys prevent low overgrowth, branches lying around or dried grass and leaves there. Fields and vegetable land are also safe from fire. When planning, make sure that this outer ring provides systematic fire protection. so that no fire bridges to the inside can be created and that all the boundary trees are of a fireproof kind.

Living hedges and living houses are always better than hedges made of twigs (filled walls). There should always be gaps in the latter from time to time. You should mulch on flat areas or in heaped-up rows and let as much dead material as possible rot in the corridors over the wet seasons or be trampled or eaten by the animals.

—————————————————————————————–

Composting/using accumulated plant material

- Fine material such grass and leaves as/in/for: mulch for flat areas, plant hollows, plant

trenches, dairy animals, places for hens to scratch, empty ponds.

- Coarser greenery: goats, donkeys, cows

- Dry twigs: donkeys, mules and horses trample and eat them. Protection for vegetables

against scratching in areas with chickens, cultivation in ponds. – Spread out material which

will rot in areas which can be flooded. Flood them for at least three months. Then drain away

the water and immediately plant vegetables which require a lot of nutrients in the mud. Add

lime if necessary.

—————————————————————————————–

Construct filled walls in the grazing area as feeding racks with boxes for planting trees at the sides or sometimes also as feeding houses between two parallel racks connected with a roof.

Our chickens should be able to lay, brood and sleep anywhere they like. People who have to shut them up at night are violating their living rules and as a consequence have sick chickens or unhealthy eggs. Neither do we want to shut up lambs because of the risk of predators. At present there are considerable numbers of predators almost everywhere. The worst of these are straying dogs. Small predatory animals up to the size of cats can be tolerated. Smaller species of chickens or chicks, particularly without a mother hen, are also killed by cats.

If it is not possible to close off the entire farm at the beginning, the yard and the ring building could at least offer the chickens a safe place for sleeping at night, laying and brooding.

How many chickens can find food?

It is difficult to give numbers for a possible chicken population because the farms only provide their full yield and habitat after a certain time. Besides, a lot depends of how skilfully the gardeners manage their farms, dung them appropriately and furnish the different plots with suitable (feeding) plants and and/or animals. – But 100 bantams or 50 of a large variety should be able to be fed if it is possible to buy some additional food (wheat and maize). If not, it is easier to feed the bantams. In functioning old farms it would certainly also be possible to keep 200 feathery-legged bantams alone with a small amount of extra food. However, then there would only be small eggs in a not very large quantity. On the other hand, we could already feed these chickens with vegetables, fruit and the left-overs from our meals.

In the individual cases, the ideal number can only be found in practice and, of course, it also depends on how many people live on the farm and leave suitable waste for chickens (food left-overs, also excrements).

———————————————————————————————-

Beware! – All species of chickens mix with one another!

If you want to maintain several breeds, each must be kept in a separate area.

———————————————————————————————-

The easiest thing is certainly to keep chickens less intensively, that means only one cock and about ten hens. This number can mostly be fed on the side without any problem. Choose a normal species if you want to have eggs. Choose bantams or guinea fowl if you want to keep chickens mainly to get rid of waste and keep the land free of insects. (Beware, guinea fowl also eat bees!)

Income from P.I. System farms

You will, of course, get not only wanted eggs from the feathery-legged bantams, who like brooding, but also a lot of offspring. However, it is doubtful whether external meat-eaters would get accustomed to the blueish meat of this species. Besides, making money from selling slaughtered chickens is, in principle, a delicate matter for us. We do not want to depend on such sources of income and do not need them either.

It is usually not worth keeping an excessive amount of livestock. All maintenance costs increase immensely once you have to buy feed or cereals. Parallel to this, the sickness figures will rise in animals and humans when the purchased foodstuffs are not as they should be. With the present quality you feed your animals with costly feed until they become ill in the long term. Your dairy cattle will get soft and susceptible to parasites, develop inflamed udders, birthing problems …. Chickens die of coxidosis and other parasitic diseases. Dairy cattle which are fed with products from our garden and waste from our kitchen and thus get exclusively high-quality feed suited to their species, need no cereal as a rule and still yield good amounts of milk. In our self-sufficient household even chickens can be fed wihout any problem in/from our gardens without purchasing extra cereals, provided we limit ourselves to a small number.

So it is a big question whether more intensive chicken-keeping is “worthwhile” for us today. Of course, the prices of eggs and poultry might soar soon. Of course, all dairy products from goats, sheep or cows can fetch very high prices when they are sold on the health food market or as raw milk products. Of course, there is also a demand for all slaughtered animals. However, the large quantities of vegetables and fruit account for most of the directly marketable products from small farms.

——————————————————————————————-

Here it must be mentioned that the idea of marketing, selling for money and thus trading with pure profit motives is not admissible. We should first realise what is good and true. Money should never have priority anymore. Unlike in the consumer system, in natural systems good things also bring in money again or benefits for everyone and truth, wisdom and honesty lead to success.

——————————————————————————————-

Photo: The plums from our trees laden to breaking point find takers not only among our farm residents.

Where and how to market produce?

Here there is the question of what you want to sell. You can found a small distribution ring, build up pick-your-own systems, rent a stand at the market. –You can achieve the best profit if you run a small restaurant or pub and/or take in health-seeking paying guests, also for long periods.

Other possibilities are seminars, workshops, training courses for ongoing ecological practitioners, health stays, recreation, etc. Once a P.I. System has been built up, there will be a considerable demand not only for the products but also for staying/living there, for which you can charge a good fee so as to reimburse yourself later for your work in establishing the farm. Beside its normal function as a provider of food and a place for living, every farm with our system will be able to assume many other tasks for which people have to pay a lot of money today (wellness centres, spa institutions, life school, nursery school, training institute, seminar venue ….)

There are other marketing possibilities if you process products, such as fermented vegetable preserves, cheese, wine-making ….

As already mentioned, we are not primarily concerned here with selling and earning money in order to “get rich” but with leading a healthy, happy life, being independent, “not having to buy things anymore” and “not needing money anymore”.

My advice:

Be aware from the start that nobody can match the quality of your natural produce, which is not available on the normal market. Your home-grown produce is, above all for you, of inestimable worth and cannot be bought by others, not even with money!

Sufficient people will very quickly be found who will want to buy up all your laboriously and manually produced food. They will make “good friends” with you and thereby expect you to let them have your products cheaply or for nothing. They will be angry with you if you ask a higher price. If you asked the real price in terms of hours of labour or the value for you, they would consider you mad.

Some people will also do small services in return. Mostly material things from “civilisation” or services which you no longer need or want, once you live really naturally.

Make the situation clear from the beginning! People who want good products should garden themselves. People who want milk should keep goats. People who want oil should pick olives! People who want to enjoy honey should keep bees! People who thinks they are too fine and noble for farm work and don’t want to get their fingers dirty should buy from the normal market or pay until they turn black! It is not a matter of greed for money on our part but of educating people! This is the only way of giving farm work back the importance it deserves, turning consumerists away from their dawdling in towns and getting them to work sensibly.

Don’t forget: Spending one’s time on useless or unnatural activities is a crime against oneself and one’s environment!

Don’t be under any illusions! At the beginning you will scarcely manage or at least find it very hard to provide for yourself and your family completely! Keep the small amout you produce for yourself! As soon as you have to buy deficient products, your life state and thus immediately your ability to cultivate your garden and look after your animals will worsen. The job of a self-sufficient farmer is more demanding and requires considerably more personality and strength of character than all other “civvy” jobs!

About the farm buildings

Finally some explanations about the planned buildings for your small farm. The ring buildings themselves should be designed to be simple but still variable so that they can provide shelter and food for all your animals but also for your plants periodically. Therefore I would choose walls for the sides and a glass roof so that the stables/stalls can also serve as greenhouses when no animals are living in them. Daylight from above is good for all animals (and humans), even when it is somewhat falsified by glass. The walls should not go right up to the roof so that you can bring hay, straw, grass, leaves …. inside without having to swallow the usual quantities of dust while doing so. Such buildings would be even lighter if instead of the side walls you only mount latticed racks, under which chickens can pass in either direction as they like, scratch and also lay eggs as long as you keep the passageways clear.

But we should keep to a more sturdy outer wall, at least on the side of the prevailing wind: then you should build feeding racks which can stand being jumped over along the inner side of such walls so that plenty of air can always enter from the side and all the hay, straw, grass or fresh leaves for animal feed cut outside only have to be filled into them once. In this way you don’t need to carry hay and straw up to the loft and then fetch it down again as used to be done and it can even dry in such a large covered rack.

Note: Since we gear our stock of animals to the size of our land as a rule, we don’t need such large storage spaces for hay and straw. However, should it be possible to keep large herds/flocks because there is sufficient land for grazing outside the farm, large parts of the ring building might possibly have to be filled completely or more barns built. Storing hay and foodstuffs and extensive storage will, of course, be unavoidable in areas with long and hard winters.

Photo: Our system of filled walls made of broad twig racks would be suitable for airy side walls or large feeding racks.

If you want to reduce the influx of cold air into the farm buildings in winter, you simply fill the walls with more feeding racks up to the roof. For the inside you should plan some food stores which replenish themselves automatically for various additional foodstuffs such as acorns, chestnuts, oats and also chicken feed. Here you must be especially careful that only the animals for whom the food is intended can help themselves. If you are not careful with the food management, mice and rats will quickly start to breed. Some domestic animals would also eat excessive amounts of so-called concentrated food if given the free choice.

Such ring greenhouses or stables/stalls of course provide the best conditions for plants as well. If you plan safe grills for shutting off the individual stables/stalls beforehand, you can even grow vegetables during winter – heated with warmth from the animals (cowshed effect) and fermentation. Then let your well-dunged pumpkins or cucumbers climb out into the open air in good time in the spring. You should plan the roof construction in such a way that rain water can be channelled into the greenhouse if needed at any time without excessive conversion manoeuvres.

Dwelling house and other functions

I have positioned a solid dwelling house in such a way that there is a chestnut orchard for a guesthouse at the front and covered parking spaces/outbuildings or stables for cart horses. Behind the dwelling house with a cellar, whose furnishings I don’t want to describe here, there is a closed courtyard which is protected on all sides from wind and weather and also from the eyes of intruders of any kind. Thus we have a very private and intimate area to withdraw to where we can forget the rest of the world. Nobody should be allowed to enter or look into this area unless it is agreeable to the family. The inner courtyard and its corridors thus grow into a living park which nobody can look into from outside and which completely feeds its gardeners and shepherds over generations, keeps them in safety and provides excellent lodging and fulfilling work and independence, protection and security from this crazy world their whole lives long.

Protected core area of our plant castle

For the plants in the inner courtyard I would possibly choose a linden tree for the middle, but otherwise preferably only small bushes and shrubs (elder, kiwi, grapevines), also a lot of spice plants, perhaps citrus trees or other sensitive fruit in pots (in the glasshouse over the winter). Growing vegetables could be one main useful purpose of the inner courtyard.

Of course, what anybody plants, grows, builds, keeps, does or does not do in their inner area should, of course, be entirely their private matter. Nobody has the right to enter this area against the residents’ wishes. Our age of the “transparent citizen” severely violates basic personal rights and should be put an end to.”Violation of privacy” must again become a criminal offence protected by (natural) laws.

Paradises for animals, people and plants

On our life islands it is our intention to create the most ideal – that means the most natural – living conditions for all our domestic animals, plants and ourselves. All the plant and animal members of our island can complement each other wonderfully here so that a wholefood diet, perfect health and abundant life of the highest quality becomes possible for everybody. Therefore degeneration is not only stopped on such farms but all those concerned can at last sresume their regenerative, evolutive higher and further development.

Annexe:

Some wisdom for ecological practice that shouldn’t be forgotten

- Potatoes will be attacked by potato beetles if they are incorrectly or excessively dunged or lacking

in nutrients

- Caterpillars eat cabbages which are incorrectly, excessively or insufficiently dunged

- Animals/humans who eat such plants will also be susceptible to illnesses or “pests” such as

parasites, attacks by insects ….

- Plants (animals and humans) are living creatures which constantly need water, good and sufficient

food, light (fresh air) and appropriate temperatures

- Mistakes, negligence, poisoning, mistreatment …. which we afflict on our plants, animals and

fellow beings come back to us

- All the good we do benefits us as well. Correct food for all plants, animals and humans in line

with nature starts off a natural cycle which brings qualitative improvement and higher development

for everyone and everything

(Better tasting fruit, vegetables, nuts, eggs, honey and better milk result in better-looking, more healthy, natural people connected with God.)

What is to be done with the many flower gardens?

Suggestions for the natural redesigning of flower gardens and parks

Time is pressing. According to Lemesurier (Cheops secret code), the absolute end of the materialist consumer civilisation is to begin in 2004. Another startling prophecy proclaims “Year of flooding, year of burning, year of blood”. – It is all the same whether we are to expect war crises or “only” further degeneration, decadence and imprisonment with “civilisation”. The dementia caused by this foolish civilisation in the centres has already assumed devastating proportions in the current year of 2003. Those affected don’t even notice it but trudge through their artificial world like living corpses in the lethargy and paralysis caused by techno-radiation, with a constant stream of background music and manipulation, poor food and poisons. The memory of past times (more) full of strength and life (before 1982) has apparently faded. Some people believe in wear and tear and ageing, others in the ozone hole. As good as nobody still considers it necessary to go to the country and provide for

Note: We are hardly able to judge if the so-called ozone hole is a manoeuvre to distract us or another real factor in the destruction of our health potential. However, subjectively we can actually experience an increased harmful and unpleasant, “sick” radiation of heat from the sun. But we can by no means assume that this is the reason why the fruit on our trees rot, animals fall ill and we are losing our ability to perform. I/We experience the microwave radiation from the mobile phone stations and/or from satellites at any rate more harmful and destructive. Besides, it is well possible that there is a causal connection between the two harmful factors. At any rate, insiders are in agreement that the ozone hole is not caused by FCCs from spray cans.

themselves.

– But they would all have a good reason to concern themselves with becoming self-sufficient at once and with all their might. The P.I. System and my writings would provide the instructions and the know-how. In the meantime I regard it as scandalous and downright criminal if this information is swept under the carpet any longer and not circulated only because certain people dislike some passages or certain nutrition popes see their thrones wobbling, others fear for their business or my works simply cannnot be published because nobody provides money for it.

But back to the point: I believe that the “civvies” will have to recognise bitterly within the foreseeable future that it is not possible to live from and with the plants and animals in their surroundings and they will then look for ways to replace them with (more) useful ones. So that not even more is destroyed and deforested there are the following possibilities for converting areas with yields into paradise gardens with high(er) yields:

A: Flower gardens with trees

Here an analysis should be made of the existing plant families or species of trees and, if possible, related useful ones, i.e. fruit-bearing ones planted in the same area. The old trees will first serve to provide shade and will be cut back and finally removed when they are in the way of or take too much sun away from the growing fruit trees.

Related species of cultivated trees can be planted directly next to flowering kinds. The cultivated kind can be wound around the trunk of the related ornamental tree so that it initially acts as a stable support and provides shade, gradually constricts and and joins together with the other tree’s sap channel. In this way the entire root strength of the wild tree is available to the cultivated one. The former is completely cut back step by step after the two trees have grown together.

Another possibility of grafting neighbouring trees of related species on to one another consists of joining single branches of two or more trees together by intertwining them. Here, as well, they have a common sap channel after they have grown together and you can then cut back the wild tree completely so that all its sap strengthens the cultivated fruit tree and its structure becomes firmer and stronger.

The last and best known improvement technique consists of grafting related species of trees on to each other by setting twigs and buds with the budding knife. You can inform yourself about this in the relevant literature. Experience has shown that not everyone is successful with this kind of grafting the first time.

B: Wild areas planted with grass, shrubs and bushes

If you want to prepare areas for growing vegetables, you should graze animals there first if possible. After that you should make trenches with the broadest available hoe and put all overgrowth, grass sods and also kitchen waste, leaves and human and animal manure in them. You should cover the previous furrow with the soil dug from the next one. You can in this way create either rows of humps (for potatoes) or flat areas (for leafy vegetables) or small dung hollows (for pumpkins, cucumbers, melons), raised beds …. according to what you are going to plant. You can sow seed directly in such dunging trenches and also plant out cuttings or plants or hedges of fruit trees, depending on the intended use and intervals. You don’t need to do this work in one go but you can constantly dig new trenches over the entire autumn and winter (if the ground isn’t frozen) and sow seeds or plant cuttings in them.

You can also achieve an adequate fertilising result by simply removing the top layer of grass in pieces from an area of meadow using a hoe and piling them up in rows of beds about one metre wide and 50 cm high or in any shapes or structures you like. Bushes and trees planted on the sides or tops of these beds grow and fruit vigorously there for several years as do hedges or double hedges as well. The exposed soil is free of weeds but should be fertilised with humus-forming material (manure or mulch containing straw).

If you plant parallel hedges with fruit and berries at intervals of five metres in a north-south direction and alternately grow vegetables and keep domestic animals between them, within a few years a high-yielding fruit wood will develop, where you and your domestic animals can live, eat and work in a natural and healthy way. (You can find further information about this in “Diet and Life”, volume 2.)

Drawing: Wide trenches with banks at the sides are filled with mulching material, thus providing ideal fertilising hollows for growing vegetables, hedges and living houses as well optimal care of quality fruit trees.

C: Transforming woods into fruit woods

We should aim at creating woods for living in or paradise gardens with a share of at least 80% fruit trees in the immediate surroundings so as to be able to obtain most of our food directly and with the shortest way. The existing wooded areas should also be modified with a view to human food requirements. Here a 50% share of trees providing food is enough. Large fruit trees can be allowed to dominate there, first and foremost nut trees but also cherry, apple and pear trees. These are also to be recommended for their wood. Here we are interested in species which bear large quantities of fruit which can be picked and made ready for storing to help feed people and animals in winter.

Here, too, the existing wood should not be razed thoughtlessly and with brute force but it should be used for building useful structures. You should make use of forest farmers or gardeners who can also start working there with their families. Existing trees which are of little use and already large might be felled one by one and sold, burned as heating fuel but preferably sawed into boards and beams and used on the spot for building. A large number of small forest farms can be created in this way. You can, however, also build protective shields for the new trees with pieces of trunk. (In the wood, too, there live a large number of animals which nibble or consume small trees.) You should construct boxes in the style of log cabins.

Neither should woods of tall thin trees be completely cleared but we can make intelligent fencing systems, feeding racks, walls filled with twigs and other kinds of protections for food trees …. and more or less build up our whole smallholding system with lots of separate plots and corridors consisting of hedges of fruit trees and berry hedges. If we move into the wood with a large number of goats and possibly a donkey, mule or horse, we have good reason to constantly cut back all the trees which are of little and use them as animal feed, thus providing protection, space, light and fertiliser for the new food trees.

D: Other areas, greenery along roads, public parks

All roadsides and public parks should also gradually be transformed into fruit-bearing areas. Fruit and berry hedges can even be planted along highways in a density that can reduce the impact of cars that crash into them, thus saving lives. But here I am already thinking of the time “afterwards”. At a not too distant time in the future ramblers, carts and herds/flocks of animals should finally move along our roads again and find strength and be able to experience peaceful and idyllically free rambling times in the avenues.

E: Fruit in pots / Possibilities in densely populated areas

People who have no land of their own, don’t have much space, have to move soon, are not allowed or don’t want to change anything on their land (yet) should occupy themselves with growing fruit trees in pots. Fruit trees in pots also provide people living on their own land with interesting possibilities. You are mobile with the trees, can thus choose sun and shade exactly, water and fertilise selectively and pick easily. Mice, bugs and other pests have no chance. To prevent chickens scratching in the pots you can place them in a higher position, place stones on the soil in the pots and possibly plant strawberries or herbs underneath trees. Make sure that there are some worms in the pots and fertilise or mulch them well regularly.Without worms there is the danger of the soil becoming hard. Then the tree will suffocate and get lice.

If you care for the little fruit trees properly, they will not only give you a lot of pleasure but also yield considerable amounts of fruit in a very small space. The learning effect should not be underrated either. You have “your friend, the tree” in your immediate proximity and have possibly already got to know it before you move to the countryside and plant big orchards with the same type of tree.

Pots and containers for planting trees

Choose trees which don’t grow big for your pots. Terracotta pots are not always favourable and they are very expensive, above all. You can also obtain big containers which don’t cost a lot if you halve plastic barrels or remove the lids from plastic canisters, A lot of containers which could be used for this purpose still end up in the rubbish. Trees can also be planted in plastic bags. Use lattice sacks that let the air in so that the trees can later be planted out directly in their bags.

When using plastic bags for planting trees, you must remember that they will rot after about one year. That’s why this method only appears to be sensible if the tree can be planted out within this time.

Revoke wrong laws!

Laws and officials who today still obstruct and block the above restructuring plans, a return to the countryside / forest were decreed for durchsicht? reasons, are already completely senseless and obsolete and obviously impact on / act negligently and criminally regarding the future and protection of the lives of all citizens.

If possible, dig mulching hollows and fertilising trenches already in autumn and fill them with heaps of mulching material (leaf cuttings, dried grass, straw, manure, kitchen waste, contents of night-time pots ….). In spring tread down the sunken heaps somewhat if necessary, flatten them and add lime depending on what you intend to plant. Plant vegetables which require a lot of nutrients, preferably at the edges, that means between the mulch compost and the side wall.

Sowing times for autumn and winter vegetables in Portugal:

(The months mentioned are always inclusive, e.g. to September = to the end of September)

Spinach: large kind of winter spinach from July to October

Small kind (Viroflay) possible from January to November.

Lamb’s lettuce: after other crops as a late crop until September

Rucola: Sow constantly.

Lettuce: “Four seasons wonder” and “winter wonder” at the onset of cool weather for autumn and

winter crops

Endive and sugar loaf: from July

Peas: From September (to March). In a place protected from frost. Only low climbing sorts because of

the danger from wind

Broad beans: from September (to March). In a place protected from frost, for example a slope facing

south or under olive trees.

Carrots: till October

Mangold: autumn sowing from August

Radishes: winter kinds or small red ones till October, in mild weather until November

Swedes: in July for autumn or winter crop

Beetroot: sowing for winter in good time from July

Turnips: September to October

Broccoli: until November

Cauliflower: until September in mild places

Brassica oleracea: this ancient type of cabbage is more robust than others and should primarily be

planted for reasons of security where other types of cabbage cannot be relied on to

flourish. Brassica oleracea should, however, be sowed / planted in spring so that

you can constantly pick large quantities of cabbage leaves for people and animals

Cabbage: Diverse types of autumn and winter cabbage can be sown and planted out from June into

the winter, depending on the kind. If you sow in summer you must water most carefully so

that they do not verhocken?.

Garlic: from October in mild regions, otherwise from Christmas to the end of January

Leeks / Onions: certain kinds can already be planted in autumn.

Winter cereals: November or as soon as the soil is wet enough.

More exact sowing times for other common types of vegetables in Germany still have to be investigated.We are currently gathering experience here with late summer / autumn sowing times for salsify, celery, fennel and parsnips. The plants that survive the winter could produce full yields in the following year. If you have experience with this, please let us know.

Note: My recommendations are no guarantee for success.Any winter gardening project , particulary in harsher regions in Portugal is a big risk. A lot of people don’t grow anything at all in general in winter. It is also good for the soil if it can rest or be dunged and worked by animals. (Recommended literature: P.I. System, Diet and Life 2). Besides, people often prefer to have the ground completely clear for the new gardening season so it is easier to work. – A single severe frost or a long period of frost can destroy your cauliflower, broad beans, peas or carrots or cause their growth, which is anyway slight in winter, to stagnate. Root vegetables can rot in standing water after weeks of rain. (Create drainage ditches or raised / humped beds). You must be prepared for the completely different (ground) water and wind conditions in winter. Where it was possible to garden in ideal conditions in summer, there may be a swamp or flood in winter. Nevertheless, winter gardenig in mild regions of Portugal can produce large yields and be very useful.

Eating and drinking in summer

Our table is full of food in summer. If we didn’t have any problems with heat, poor air, fire and microwave radiation here in Portugal (which won’t happen until the age of these poisonous fire and cooking devils comes to an end), the summer would be a real gourmet paradise. All sorts of vegetables in the best, sun-ripened quality! Superb tomatoes, juicy cucumbers, good-tasting pumpkins with red flesh, paprikas, all sorts of melons, fresh sweet corn …. to name only a few garden delicacies. Fruit in abundance: many kinds of plums, which have such big crops this year that we have to sell them at the market. We also have peaches and pears continually. Figs are the sweetest temptation. There are also masses of yellow and blue cactus figs. In late summer we also have grapes and apples.

We like to eat figs or cactus figs with soured milk or fresh cheese, especially in the morning. Milk often sours within 12 hours without any coagulant in the hot summer weather.

At this time of year in the evening we enjoy unprepared tomatoes with onions, oil and olives, accompanied by wine and also cheese if we have any. But milk is scarce here in dry summers. Especially the small onions taste best if you bite into them directly and eat them like apples. Later in the autumn, as soon as the first olives give oil, we make our “bread” swell with milk made of coarsely ground wheat, some herbs and some vegetables, which we then eat in the evening with oil over it and tomatoes, onions, paprikas, preserved olives.

We never leave out our prepared, plentiful midday meal of vegetables despite all the abundance. We need a full and nutritious meal once a day to combat the increasing harmful influences from outside. Unfortunately there is a problem with green salad here in summer. We have to help out in our need with wild herbs which we chop with a rocker knife and add to raw potato salad and also to cabbage and mangold. Especially the salads of green leaves are very important now because of our excessive consumption of sugar. If they are lacking, you often feel tired or even have toothache. (Oak-leaf lettuce and, strangely, endives grow the most readily here in summer.) – However, it isn’t possible for us to buy lettuce. People who are accustomed to their own products won’t touch any commercial produce. It simply tastes too awful and has a corresponding effect.

Our summer midday meal consists approximately of the following:

(All basic recipes can be enhanced. See System literature)

“Salt” = uncleaned see or stone salt. “Oil = naturally pressed oil from seed capable of sprouting, with us olive oil. Peanuts like everything else, of course, only raw and home-grown! Graters from Börner, rotating graters from Messerschmitt.

- Cucumber salad: finely sliced with herbs, vinegar, oil, salt ….

- Potato salad: fine rectangular pieces, ground wheat, grated cheese, chopped wild herbs, oil

…. (We add all conceivable ingredients, for example egg shells, lichen, dried vegetables,

dried herbs …. all finely ground.)

- Tomato soup: coarsely grated ripe tomatoes, onions, aubergines or beans, paprika …. all cut

into sufficiently small pieces. Fresh herbs, garlich, soft fresh sweet corn kernels, possibly

long “noodles” made of grated courgettes or pumpkins, olive oil, sea salt.

- Pumpkin: grate spaghetti with the Börner grater for thin strings from soft pumpkins. Whole

sunflower seeds, finely grated peanuts and/or walnuts. Add salt and garlic to the mixture.

Mix everything carefully and add oil.

- Cactus leaf salad: thinly sliced with peanut meal and vinegar

- Beetroot: grated with the rotating grater or with the Börner apple grater. Add vinegar, oil,

salt and honey.

- Sweet corn: simply finely grate hard, but not yet ripe cobs (possibly with peperoni) and

scatter the freshly ground meal over the salads or soups.

Grate soft cobs to a fine puree and alld oil and salt.

- Fruit puree from plums, pears, peaches …. as an addition or dessert or:

- Fresh (black) berry jam: simply stamp the berries with honey.

Fermented vegetable preserves

The new fresh gherkins and particularly our fermented preserves with tomatoes, gherkins, paprika, onions, garlic and lots of peperoni are also popular this year. These mixtures of fermented vegetables remind us of the pickled vegetables in Greek restaurants. Unfortunately we still lack okra. We ought at last to procure seeds and grow this legume or species of bean, perhaps together with sweet corn. Sweet corn with bush beans – sown and with heaped-up earth in the same row – produced a significantly larger crop than without bush beans. The bush beans in sweet corn also had a better crop than those growing outside. So we actually can’t see a reason why sweet corn should be grown without beans in sunny open fields.

But more about the fermentations: even the hottest peperoni pods lose their extreme tase in the fermentations of mixed vegetables, thus becoming edible and giving the fermentations a very good, spicy taste.

Later in summer/autumn we make excellent fermented vegetable mixes, especially with mushrooms.

Fermented vegetables

Here is a brief description of how to make fermented vegetables for those who don’t yet know how:

Cut diverse vegetables of good quality (no artificial fertiliser! No sprayed poison!) up into bite-sized pieces. Add sufficient salt and fill up with liquid (vegetable juice) until the vegetables are completely submerged or covered. To obtain vegetable juice you can puree tomatoes or stamp cabbage with salt until the juice comes out. You can always use wine or vinegar. However, this results in different, not always typical fermented tastes. By pressing or stamping the vegetable mixture in the preserving jars you can often obtain sufficient juice to cover it completely. You should never use water! Watery preserves don’t taste of anything and nor do they keep long.

Basic knowledge for ecological practice: ferments

You can start fermenting nutritious mixtures of vegetables, especially those containing beans or cereals, in an old ceramic pot and only fill them into preserving jars with lids after a certain time when the fermentation has finished. The process is actually not much different from wine-making. You always leave enough fermentation pressure in the bottles or screw jars so that the fermented material stays fresh and tangy.

The fermentation is stopped by the growing pressure in the closed bottle or jar before the whole of the sugar content has been fermented. Thus our preserves have more taste and life and are a tingling taste experience. If you leave too much pressure in the jars, you can create real fermentation bombs which can make a mess when they are opened or explode in the storage place.

The initial stormy fermentation takes place within the first three to ten days, depending on the temperature. After that you should fill the mixture into jars.

—————————————————————————————

Remember: The more pressure remains in the jar or bottle, the fresher and better tasting the fermented contents are.

—————————————————————————————

We are in fact also familiar with the pressure method from the production of sparkling wine from sweet grapes. The fermentation also stops by itself in the sparkling wine bottles on account of the growing pressure. After this a lot of sugar remains in the juice and less alcohol is created, everything fizzes prickles and foams and makes a very lively impression.

The pressure or sparkling wine method is, in the meantime, often used for making cider. As apples mostly do not have as much sugar as grapes, there is not such immense pressure as with sparkling wine. I know farmers who even make their cider in Coca Cola bottles. Now there are also pressurised barrels for this on the market.

The described work with the fermentation pressure (only in bottles, or jars with screw lids, but not possible to produce in pots) is especially important if you want to ferment with only a little salt. However, I recommend filling all fermented vegetables into jars and wine from apples or pears into bottles. Large amounts of fermented material simply lose their fresh, tingling quality too quickly after opening and have a bland taste.

Mastery of all natural fermenting methods for pickling, making alcohol or vinegar is part of the basic knowledge of an ecological practitioner. Without this knowledge and without the practice of fermenting all fruit and vegetable surpluses, it is, in my opinion, a bitter thing to get through the winter in northern countries. Even on some south-sea islands the inhabitants died after they no longer produced their traditional fermented bread fruit preserve because of receiving supplies of cereals (see “Fata Hiva” by Thor Heyerdahl).

Incidentally: you should stop using any preservation methods which involve fire, poison or chemicals, sterilisation, frost and suchlike as soon as possible. You poison and destroy your valuable food with these methods. Such preserves are harmful to your health and are, above all, absolutely unnecessary. They do not even keep longer. Good fermented preserves in jars with screw lids easily keep five years! Weck, Konsorten and all those who have been involved with selling bottling jars have probably instilled this nonsense about sterilisation into us! – At any rate, all good-quality vegetables (and only such a kind) can be fermented without any problem raw, without any use of heat or chemicals, with salt or in vinegar or possibly also in oil!

(More about this in my literature: Diet and Life, Practicable Raw Eating, Natural Farming in Portugal, etc.)

Eating and drinking in autumn

We can enjoy most salad vegetables and even tomatoes and paprika into the winter if they are stored properly. Onions, all green salad, Jerusalem artichokes, potatoes, cabbages and swedes, beetroot, carrots …. form the basis of our vegetable meals. In the morning we eat dried figs, quinces, apples and milk, nuts and seeds. When it gets cold, you want to eat more fat and then especially appreciate the “fat solubilisers”, i.e. good vinegars, the new wine and the pickled preserves. We press olive oil fresh each day as soon as possible. The cereals also come into their own again:

Raw bread from ground wheat and/or rye, enriched with ground lentils and peanuts (also sunflowers, nuts ….) and left to swell in milk, forms the basis of concentrated meals to warm us in the evening, when we eat such bread with oil, onions, garlic, cheese, olives, fresh cheese with herbs, pickled vegetables, winter tomatoes …. The grown-ups drink wine with their food and often extend their evening meal with several glasses of red wine. The children often prefer to eat their bread with honey and milk.

Introduction:

In our life garden one Monday in mid-September in 2002: I just want to eat a few grapes, but stop at the black figs and eat some of them with strawberries. I’ve really eaten enough but I still go on past the black and yellow grapes to pick up a few apples from the ground. Here we find the kinds Delicious, Brave Esmolfe, a wild Portuguese apple, and other sweet, red native apples that I don’t know the name of. Further back, our Swabian Gravensteiner and Gewürzluiken apples embellish the old trees which used to bear worthless fruit, on to which I grafted branches from Germany. Then I eat some rucola before going back with the best apples. I walk along the path between the garden and the animals’ grazing area and the goats, which have already eaten their fill and are rather tired, eye me in the hope that I might drop a titbit into their feeding rack. In front of the house I discover my forgotten bucket half full of cactus figs picked in the morning when I cut some cactus leaves for the goats. Now it no longer surprises me that I’m so full that I can’t eat anything else. My first meal consisted of half a bucket of cactus figs, several glasses of soured milk and a few tomatoes. At the moment we have such quantities of ripe tomatoes that we don’t know what to do with them. Should we dry them? – At the moment it’s too wet. Should we preserve them by fermenting them with salt? -It isn’t so easy to ferment tomatoes on their own, as it often results in extremely high pressure and they explode, leaving the pulp on the ceiling. Also preserved tomatoes on their own are too watery. I could pick a few lepiota or boletus edulis, which are just beginning to grow, add a few onions, of which we have had a plentiful crop this year, then thicken and enrich the mixture with sufficient cereal or lentils, but I abandon the idea for the moment. One reason is that pickling with salt no longer works so well since we have been bombarded with microwaves from a transmitter in Marvao.

The idyll described above is thus somewhat deceptive. Since the beginning of the microwave bombardment the abundance and quality of the fruit, good vegetables, healthy animals and plentiful milk and honey have become subject to restrictions, i.e. they are only possible if the whole system is looked after in an optimal way with the best care, feeding of the animals and dunging of the soil. The milk supplied by our neighbour has become thin and watery so that we can scarcely make cheese. It is apparent that a large part of the life energy of plants, animals and humans is being used up by the bombardment with electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones or their transmitters. All the computer data are also being transmitted round the world in the steadily growing “great internet” – to the detriment of every living creature. In reality we are at war, although nobody is going to the front to fight! – And today some questions are going through my head again. – Is it possible that all those people near and far don’t realize or even notice that they are slowly killing themselves and everything around them with their mobile phones? Here we hear and feel an all-destructive, ultra-high humming sound, which increases at the weekend, especially when the atmosphere is thin and dry, and is at its loudest when there are parties nearby! Doesn’t anybody protest about it? It is in fact the worst kind of sound, a deadly background noise in the long term that puts a strain on our organisms day and night.- In other cases everyone reports the slightest noise to the police! – And now this constant high-frequency noise is destroying and disrupting the peace and quiet of nature on almost the whole of our planet! – It can’t be proved?! It can easily be proved, even if you have no ears and senses for it! You just need a receiver that can modulate the high frequencies down a few octaves to make this horrible noise that is constantly being fired through our ether audible!

- Because of their permanent state of toxication from manifold sources and numbing of their senses / insensitivity, the city dwellers probably don’t notice this trifle that is the last straw – at least for us and nature. The “civvies” will soon be dying at 40, they are already sick and wretched from the cradle, can no longer conceive healthy children, can’t stand the sun and being outdoors any longer… They probably blame the sun, the notorious hole in the ozone layer, the cosmos ….

Or could it be that the whole thing is actually a deliberate destruction scenario, a perfect crime of genocide by certain men who believe they should decimate or destroy the white race in particular, especially the German nation? – The most recent wars waged by the Americans do in fact clearly prove the danger of this electromagnetic radiation. American soldiers hardly ever die during their war service. They die afterwards at home from the effects of electromagnetic radiation rather than from nuclear radiation. The “civvies” only see what the media-makers allow them to see. – And it is always possible to find other causes.

It is these very media, which themselves work with radio technology, that are the principal means of manipulating the masses like marionettes. They just won’t let anyone take away their toys that easily. On the contrary, it is to be feared that anyone trying to escape the influence of the media will be persecuted and destroyed in one way or another. (Psychiatrically, in a commercial or financial way, socially as a citizen ….)

However, radio technology is by no means the only thing impairing our health and mental development. When electricity was introduced a century ago, Rudolf Steiner complained that it was no longer possible to live as a real human being because electricity disrupted the essential requirement for this, namely the harmony and peace of our nature. The disruption of these areas of natural tranquillity and peace has been going on for a long time, but in an especially serious way only since the introduction of all kinds of radiation technology, finally through the installation of satellites and now in an even more threatening way because of the growing stream of computer data transmission and especially due to mobile phones. We know that the radar stations alone have destroyed whole forests in the mountains on both sides of our national borders. Now the whole of nature, all plants and living creatures, above all human beings are being affected, because the computerised mobile phone idiots unfortunately don’t know of anything better to do than to telephone and radio data over longer and longer distances. Some of them apparently want to save the world in this way. But others actually want nothing but power, money and world rule! – If it continues, all the effort won’t be worth it anymore. There is no rescuer or winner on a junk planet where nobody can live as a human being.

But who can stop these destructive energies? Who still has the strength to change or stop anything? – Life as a “civvy” turns everyone into a weak character full of addictions! Of course the whole of a human being suffers because of the bombardment with microwaves, that means their psyche, intelligence, creativity, genius, musicality. Deficiencies in this respect are evident everywhere. But which of these consumption zombies, which have been abandoned by all good spirits, is still able to recognise them?!

- Short break -

The children are coming back. They have been taking the mare, the mule and the donkey to a distant meadow and are now riding back from the garden to our farm in a cart drawn by Bonec, the old mule. - Loaded with greenery for the goats, apples, tomatoes and melons. I try one of the latter. We can get land everywhere here, because nobody has time, interest and, above all, the strength to cultivate it. A lot has changed during the ten years we’ve been here. The Portuguese take all “progress” on board enthusiastically. Sometimes it seems to me that they are competing to see who can degenerate the fastest. Machinery, poisonous chemicals and all technological means are used mercilessly and without any opposing voices under the motto “The main thing is I can drive an excavator.” The old generation only live from their gardens in rare cases. There is now a “social service” that brings meals on wheels and carries old people away to hospital, when they get ill from the food. Almost all of them take medicine and can then no longer work and live naturally. Animals are also stuffed with poison and given countless vaccinations. Never mind if one of them sometimes dies from it. Fresh air and an outdoor or partly outdoor life are to be avoided. Thanks to progress, all the houses here are now well insulated and modernised and smell of detergent, perfume and cooking, as in the rest of Europe. To avoid getting too much fresh air out of doors, people like making fires and then stand in the smoke of the fire which smells of plastic. Or they spray toxic chemicals, kill off green plants growing by the roadside or use an electric scythe to cut down any plants still growing in spite of fire and drought. The fields are cultivated as often as possible with EU subsidies so that they look “tidy” to match the clean, new consumer world.

Actually I shouldn’t be surprised at such things any more. We know these insane neuroses about cleanliness, order and hygiene all too well from our old home, where they assumed such drastic proportions that the neurotic hygienists were in fact able to take control of the country and finally set about stifling nature and life in the bud.

These and many other civilisatory kinds of decadence through acts counter to nature ending in self-poisoning and destruction have now spread their toxic metastases all over the world. Who am I in fact writing my “Diet and Life, Volume 2” for? Why don’t I abandon my obviously hopeless attempt to try and show humankind another way? Why do I still believe that somewhere in this world there are people living who will hear about my plans and want/ be able to implement them?

Building up a Paradise Garden System isn’t witchcraft. It “only” requires a few people with hearts and understanding who stay on their land, live off it, work there every day, don’t have to or want to leave it, have heads free of junk, illusions and the false worlds in/from the media and computers, who build family communities again, simply strive unselfishly and without stars’ airs and graces every day, that means they plant their gardens, clean out their stables, cut animal feed, mow and make hay …. are simply there for everyone and everything. Of course the wrong modern methods of bringing up children, the schools, the poisonous food … have turned our nation into a mass of incapable people, who aren’t even aware of their deficits in every respect but sun themselves in the conceit of their own insight and greatness. The modern consumer citizens can no longer bear any truth and austerity, they let themselves be stupefied by the unctuous esoteric utterances of oriental gurus and despite their peaceful façades remain locked in their own limitless egoism and megalomania. A return to nature would reveal their mimosa-like mental and physical weakness and fragility, which are the result of a life contrary to nature and divine order over generations. And this very inability to return to a natural life and diet creates problems for the dynamic modern-world person, accustomed to success and geared to a career, who, in our view, is no more than a poor marionette. These types of people won’t come down from their thrones and thus make their inability to gain insight and adopt a natural way of life and diet irreversible. But God is grinding his mills …, and anyone who does not conform will have to accept or die.

Here in Europe it seems to be getting darker more and more rapidly. The damaging effects of the decadent technotic society are so extreme even in its remotest corners that it is hardly possible to contemplate establishing new paradises any longer, because all the pre-requisites and above all people with a sound awareness are simply lacking. There can be no more paradise people under these conditions, just as there can be no trout in a totally polluted stream. Even our already established P.I. System farm here can only be maintained with a great effort. It is scarcely possible to lead a really regenerative life any more, for we are all bombarded daily by a hail of microwaves, noise, toxic gas (bad air)…

Therefore I would like to suggest that our people, or more exactly those who want to live and eat naturally, ask for new land. After the Second World War the Jews occupied Jordan even against the wishes of the indigenous population. They had also been offered Madagascar at that time. – We would certainly not refuse Madagascar! But I hardly believe that we would need so much land because there will most likely only be a few people who want to or are able to go our way. We don’t want to occupy anyone’s land but would be content with free, unoccupied or abandoned areas of land. And in any case it doesn’t have to be a single piece of land for a closed nation – which is vehemently opposed by certain people in the case of the Germans – but we would be satisfied with “islands” in every country of the world where a natural way of life and diet are still possible. That would be everywhere as far away as possible from civilisation, where there are no transmitters and where it isn’t too cold.

In this work the reader can learn how we want to settle on and develop such land.

In writing “Diet and Life” I have therefore not primarily thought of the climatic conditions in old Germany but have presupposed a somewhat warmer climate. But it is also possible for cold countries to use the knowledge and methods from this work, simply by replacing plants that don’t flourish by others that do. Of course, it was also much easier for me to describe the ecological or paradiasical system of plants, animals and humans that I have built up in Portugal than some other fictitious system for an area where I was not living (anymore).

Diet and Life 2 is thus in principle designed for settlers. In case we or some other people are able or have to begin again in this or another world. Besides practical details and plans for building up self-sufficient farms and using the food from them, the book also contains further important information about inheritance laws, eugenics and morality. The breeding of animals and humans is subject to certain natural laws, which we can no longer ignore if we want to survive. Although, unlike in the first part, the plants used, namely all useful trees and bushes, shrubs, vegetables and grasses, are in the foreground, reference is often made to domestic animals again. For P.I.System settlers it is essential to know what plants harmonise with what kinds of animals, because we also use them as “gardening assistants” in all our gardens. We can’t achieve a population density of (considerably) more than 100 people per square kilometre unless our facilities are optimally organised for humans, animals and plants and well developed. Furthermore, it is necessary to learn and master the use, processing and storage of all the components produced with suitable utensils and methods.

My youngest daughters Josefina, Julia and Joana and me. Since 1991 I have been living on a smallholding in Alto Alentejo, Portugal with my in the meantime seven own children, my common-law wife and three other adult assistants. Only there was it first possible for us to fully elaborate, try out and document the concepts for our new way of natural living and eating on and from our own land, which are presented to you in this work.

However, in this work it is not my wish to urge all my readers to emigrate – it is probably already too late for this anyway -, but to encourage everyone to remedy the grievous state of affairs on the spot in their fatherland, to remove obstacles with all means available, to fight everywhere for a new, intact natural world in which we can live freely again together with all our children and animals.

In the meantime it is late afternoon. The plentiful midday meal, which I prefer to describe in another part of this work, has been digested. While eating our dessert, we listened to part of Haydn’s “Creation”. While listening, I thought again about the insane evolution and “big bang” theories which are disseminated in “civilised” society. It’s astounding what dumb, uprooted and godless people can now be led to believe! – But the old values from our homeland are more important for us than ever. And as long as we still have solar energy we would like to record its cultural heritage as extensively as possible. Music means a lot to us and contributes a great deal to what we call refinement of the heart. – We also decided to have the partitur of “The Creation” copied so that we can all read it and sing or play along again while we listen as we did with the last opera, Mozart’s Magic Flute. – Work will shortly resume in the garden, where I talk to my youngest son about all the places where he can plant salad plants, especially endives and sugar loaf for the winter. I would have liked to help him fetch the fertilizer for his salad beds but after enjoying some black Portuguese grapes I decided to go on writing so as to make it easier for my readers to recognise and comprehend what we have built up here. I believe that nobody in “civilised” society can imagine any more what simple luxury, what true quality of life there can be on such a Paradise Island, when all the people, animals and plants living there work together, helping and complementing each other, and you can just forget the rest of the world. There is absolutely no comparison any more today between the quality of our products and commercial ones. Here the rich content of all substances in the fruit and vegetables provides satisfying nourishment on account of the optimal fertilisation of the soil. And it is almost impossible to describe what is created from all the crops for the main meal with skilful natural preparation and combination. It is pure pleasure every day, food from God, our Lord Jesus Christ, described in the word as HIS FLESH and HIS BLOOD. HE, whose energy of life and order radiates throughout the universe, permits everything to grow and flourish through, from and in accordance with HIS Holy Ghost and in HIS image. And those who naturally consume the fruit and vegetables and all seed-bearing herbs, milk and honey .… from HIS creation, take in whole cell building blocks, receive HIM, HIS goodness and truth, communicate with HIM and become HIS children and part of HIS heaven.

- Break -

I needed to walk round our smallholding to check everythng: what is missing, who needs something? – Work is going on everywhere. Apple juice is being made downstairs. My daughter Eva is extracting honey from combs. My sons are reading or joking with my little daughters. There is a pedagogical secret behind a P.I.System farm: everything of importance can be done and learnt there, when it is properly built up and managed. In other words, there is nothing meaningless or useless to do there.

– Quite unlike the occupations nowadays in towns. Those who manage to keep their children away from the soul- and life-destroying institutions in towns and bring them up on a Paradise Island will be able to experience how they develop into mature and capable personalities with genuine knowledge and abilities far exceeding those of any town-dweller. – Which, if we consider it more closely, is, of course, no art, as the knowledge acquired in towns has nothing to do with life, it is theoretical, hollow, falsified, unreal, unnecessary… actually only intended to fetter people, to suppress, brainwash, mislead and lie to them, to make them into idiots and babblers, confused and insane ….., the more they “study” it.

I hope you have understood what I wanted to say in this long introduction.

In the beginning

was the word, the idea, the plan. For you, too, the development of your land will become a creative act, a work of art which you will work on lifelong. Within the scope of this book I can only describe a few of the countless possibilities to make your beginning easier, perhaps to help you avoid some mistakes you might otherwise have made. At any rate it is your garden, your animals and plants that you will live with and from. You will get to know them better and appreciate them more every year. Many that you thought were useless will suddenly become useful to you. Thus, the first basic rule is:

Don’t destroy any kind of plant!

When I consider our land today, I realise in retrospect that I wouldn’t want to do without any species of plant growing there. They have all become useful at some time or another. (The only thing that still puzzles us is the use of a few ornamental plants that we once got from the town, where there were cultivated by the housewives living there.) Our gardens will only become biotopes that support and maintain people and animals when we concentrate all useful species there and arrange them in the most sensible way.

There used to be questions such as: “What do you do with the poisonous thorn apple?” – Well, we really don’t need it for what it is known for, i.e. its thorns. We aren’t interested in its alkaloids. And we don’t smoke it “against” asthma or make “flying ointments” as the witches did in the Middle Ages. – But if a plant is obviously thriving on your plot of land and doesn’t want to be done away with , then you should try and find out how it can be useful.

The usefulness of the thorn apple:

First of all we observed a certain very large type of bee which fed almost exclusively on the blossom of the thorn apple. We also found privet hawk moth caterpillars on it. Then the children started to enjoy its blossom. Its flowers contain a lot of nectar which you can suck out as with dead nettles. Then we found out that fresh, pressed thorn apple leaves stop bleeding immediately, when they are wrapped round a wound. Out of interest we harvested a few kilos of seed from its seed capsules and pressed them. And behold, the seeds yielded a considerable quantity of oil which is hardly poisonous at all, after the toxic substances have sunk to the bottom, and can be used externally or for medicinal purposes. The oil also stops bleeding. But some uses of a plant are often quite banal. For example, we often use plant leaves as toilet paper. Isn’t it possible that the ability of the thorn apple leaves to stop bleeding can also be appreciated in this usage?

The amount of poison varies considerably in one and the same plant.

I got a shock when I read about this plant later in books. Only warnings about its poisonous qualities! But at any rate at least one source said that the amount of poison can vary according to the location. In this connection we observed that toxic locations favour poisonous plants. When we buy hay from a contaminated environment and let it rot, the first things that grows there are poisonous toadstools and scarcely any edible fungi. Thus, we need not be surprised at the poison in thorn apples picked from rubbish dumps. – The fact that the thorn apple is most poisonous when fertilized with human faeces is certainly only the case when the faeces are from eaters of poison or meat and cooked food. At any rate, the thorn apple isn’t very toxic with us and the goats even eat it as up to a quarter of their food intake. It is a fact that it is easy to pick large quantities of thorn apples in places where it thrives. You cut bunches of ripe seed capsules and beat out the seeds in a vat. This shrub was never disagreeable even in the garden. It doesn’t take up any room on the ground and provides shade for plants that don’t like heat from a height of about 1m. When it is no longer needed, it can easily be removed and doesn’t start growing again.

I think that in general there is still a lot of ignorance regarding the toxic nature of certain plants. After all, the leaves of tomatoes, potatoes and even cucumbers are poisonous and with lots of fruits you have to wait until they are completely ripe before you can eat them. Some seeds need frost or long periods of time before they are free of poison or can be readily digested. Mightn’t be possible that we don’t yet know the “instructions for use” of some plants? Naturally there are plants which are more or less tame or wild but they are all useful if we know what for! – Over the past few years I have realised more and more that such a garden system is a living organism directed by higher intelligence and finest feeling, capable of gearing itself exactly to nature-loving people and their requirements. An example of this is the fact that the different fruits ripen exactly one after another without any gaps.

Poisonous plants often serve as food for animals

When considering the usefulness of plants, an important point is always, of course, the question as to whether domestic animals can use them and if so, which animals. – So far the goats are the only animals that use the thorn apple. They especially like to eat it at certain times or in certain places when or where it is less poisonous, when its seed capsules are still green. Therefore for this one shrub we actually already have grounds enough to keep it. But it is the thorn apple’s resistance to drought and heat that can make it even more valuable as a pioneer plant. We are very dependent on the few plants that can stand the heat in the hot months. I suspect that the thorn apple loses its poison during the hot period. On the other hand, what animals or even humans eat in times of need is quite different from what they eat in times of plenty. In times of emergency any plant is edible in a limited quantity!

Other pioneering plants in dry soil

But fortunately there is something better than the thorn apple in dry periods. The hardiest pioneering plants in our hot region are various types of broom, opuntia (cacti), cork trees and holm oaks as well as some herbs such as lavender, rosemary, oregano, small types of mint and a large number of grasses. Goats, sheep and donkeys can anyway survive with this group of plant pioneers.

A large number of our popular vegetables and fruits have almost as much endurance when the soil is fertilized and enriched in conjunction with some methods that I will describe in the course of this book. True, they depend on our loving gardener’s hand, but with some care they will accompany us into the most extreme regions.

It is astounding how many types of fruits and vegetables will even produce a yield without any water in the dry summer, provided you have sorts adapted to this climate. It’s even possible that almost all wild grasses and shrubs except the most resistant such as goosefoot, foxtail and erigeron x hybridus dry up but water melons, winter tomatoes, black and white beans, sweet corn, Jerusalem artichokes, potatoes and even certain types of pumpkins still grow and produce fruit. In some cases (not always!) certain combinations of plants can increase endurance. Thus, for example, the beans mentioned above cover the ground on which sweet corn is still thriving or pumpkin tendrils survive in the shade of the beans.

Fruit trees in hot regions

Among fruit-bearing plants blackberries are able pioneers and resistant to drought and likewise grapevines, when they have deep roots. Apple trees are also among the most enduring on some types of soil, but may initially have difficulty in keeping their fruit over the summer or the apples get burn marks where the sun shines directly on them. I assumed that light-coloured varieties are preferred here in Portugal because they are better able to stand the sun. But we also have a red sort that stands alone and doesn’t even have very thick foliage but still can withstand the sun. I assume that the reason for the heat-resistance of this variety is its high sugar content and the fact that it ripens very early in the summer. In any case, it is harsh sunlight rather than drought that causes apple trees problems in a hot climate. To make it possible to cultivate this very valuable fruit in warm regions as well, we have, in addition to the usual methods such as artificial shade, pruning into a thick roof-like shape and choice of suitable varieties, developed another method which I will describe briefly and which is also in principle worth considering for other kinds of fruit trees in all hot, sunny regions:

Use of climbing plants:

This method must, however, be used very sensitively with each tree “personally”. There are – especially young – trees with sparse branches and (still) lacking in stability that can hardly bear climbing plants and themselves need to be supported, especially while their fruit is ripening. Such trees can be made more stable by cutting them back regularly over a number of years until the trunk is strong enough. You can also support small “shaky” trees from the start with espaliers or pergolas. Building supports for climbing plants involves a considerable amount of time and money, especially for large structures. It isn’t possible to obtain wood free of charge everywhere. And if you don’t want your supports to collapse in a few years under the weight of the fruit or during a storm, you must use cement posts, galvanised wire, impregnated stakes ….. for building pergolas and other supports, i.e. expensive and unnatural things from a shop.

Of course, you are welcome to profit the building trade and build your “perfect” cemented pergolas. But I would also like to describe other, (more) natural possibilities here. That is the reason that I pay especial attention to the subject of climbing plants and fruit tree hedges. The latter is also nothing more than a living support for various climbing plants with different requirements. All the trees are more stable and protected when in a hedge. Thus we can plant or sow our small wobbly apple trees close together in a row and then use the apple hedge for other climbing plants. Such closely planted hedges of apple trees with short trunks were invented several centuries ago and were often used as a substitute for plantations of tall trees. It hasn’t occurred to the new generation of poison-spraying fruit farmers to use fruit trees additionally for climbing plants and to leave enough space between them for chickens to scratch during the gardening season. In the quince hedges

————————————————————————————————–

Suggestion: Create chicken orchards by planting dense rows of medium-sized fruit trees. Fill up the lower part of the rows with berry bushes (currants or gooseberries). Set quince hedges for low-climbing vegetables between the rows of tall trees, as described, or plant more berries between them so that there is just a small path on all sides. You can fill up the spaces between quince hedges planted about 2m apart with exuberantly growing raspberry canes. Jerusalem artichokes, sweet corn and potatoes can be planted in or between the rows of trees wherever and as long as there is space for them. Chickens love our fruit orchards and find most of their food there. They only scratch where the soil is heaped up. They only eat and scratch up sweet corn in its initial stages. There are even some kinds of lettuce which chickens don’t like and which can grow if not planted too close together. However, it isn’t possible to have seed beds or young cabbages, carrots and onions when hens are around.

Such closely planted fruit “woods” inhabited by chickens can best be fertilised – also for chicken food – with blankets of mulch from any available plant remains. In addition, in such chicken orchards you can also spread out any kitchen waste and, of course, human and animal manure to be checked later for any remaining usefulness or spread it directly in fertiliser trenches for seeds to be sown later.

————————————————————————————————–

you can plant at intervals other related species such as pears and medlars, which can also be combined with the quince or grafted on to it (see also P.I. System/Ecological practice/Tree planting).

Single trees for improving the fruit wood or using it as animal grazing

But let’s leave our fruit hedges and go on to the “normal” orchard with single trees: with such orchards you should consider in principle if they are to be upgraded into fruit forests or adapted for – at least temporary – animal grazing. Initially the amount of fruit wood will always be small and the grazing area large on our farms. Over the years the grazing area will become smaller and smaller and the amount of foliage feed from the growing fruit trees will steadily increase, so that more dairy animals, especially goats, can be fed with it each year. When optimally fed, goats do not require or desire such a large space all the time. They like it best when they are kept in a safe, dry and sheltered place as near to humans as possible and provided with a convenient supply of food. It isn’t easy to protect trees from

Rule: When goats break out, it isn’t a sign of their “wickedness”, but is due to an insufficient supply of food. Animals which are well fed with the whole range of plants on our farm don’t want to escape and don’t have to be hobbled. (Hobbling is a method of preventing animals from nibbling, climbing into and treading down trees or jumping over fences by tying two of their legs together in turn with a 20-40cm-long rope above the hoof joint. Broad bands of material should be wound round their joints to prevent the rope from rubbing them sore.)

Our goats’ late summer menu

- Early in the morning in their shed: a mixture of oats, barley and maize.

- During the day outdoors: leaves cut from peach and apple trees, oaks, olive trees, grapevines,

roses, blackberries …. brassica oleracea leaves, various freshly cut weeds and shrubs, maize

stalks, reject apples and pears, melon skins.

- In the evening in their shed: sliced cactus leaves (potatoes, turnips, Jerusalem artichokes are

also possible), and oats, barley and maize again.
