Kin's Domains in Russia

I think this is a perfect example of what we should all strive to work on and give to our children. There's at least 400 of these communities already started in Russia. I think at a bare minimum we should have guidelines like these in our own community as well.

A Kin's domain is a piece of land at least 1 hectare (2.5 acres) in size owned and developed by an individual or a family who prefer living their lives in nature, off the grid, to the hustle and bustle of city life. They provide a sustainable way of living which also helps improve the quality of our planet.

Why one hectare? Because this is a sufficient minimum amount of land sizable enough to sustain the basic life-long and multi-generational needs of each family or domain settler. This is an amount of land that can be stewarded sustainably by the efforts of an individual or family, without becoming too difficult to manage and that can be managed without the need for heavy industrial agricultural machinery or harmful chemicals and fertilizers or pesticides and without the need for reliance on declining fossils fuels.

...

Each domain settler or family owns their own land. It is not owned by the community. The reason for this is so that they can fully invest in the beautifying of the land by restoring natural systems and commit to making a lifetime long-term investment, first in the initial restoration of the land followed by the lifelong stewardship of their land plot which can then remain in the family and be passed on to successive generations.

A Kin's Domain differs from the eco-village or commune model where each individual is dependent on the collective always functioning and properly working together to meet the basic needs of all its individuals especially in matters of food production. On a Kin Domain each family/settler's goal is to become self sufficient, to stand on their own, with the surrounding domains creating a strong supportive network and community.
Of course, there is a great need for working together in a Kin community, and this vital work must begin before even a single person builds their own unique domain. Much forethought and planning is needed. In each village of Kin's Domains there will most likely be land that is shared by the collective community. This shared land could include such areas as:

* a shared lake or large body of water, * a school, * a community meeting centre, * community agricultural lands or pasture, * a visitor’s centre, * forest lands, * riverside, * roadway access, and more.

Very good, Grimotk. The Kin Domains of our Russian cousins sound very much like our Cosmotheist Communities model.

Great post. In addition to their demonstration of the power and importance of community effort, I really like that they're building these houses using naturally available materials, just like our ancestors always did. I have been looking more closely at these techniques recently, because I would like to build my home this way too. I haven't settled on a specific style of construction, but they all seem to have pros and cons. Maybe you saw the video I shared recently of that Primitive Technology guy on YouTube building a structure with his own handmade bricks and tiles. There is some very good information there: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JX ... lZyD3nQdBA

I think learning these construction techniques (and having this sort of creative resourcefulness in general) is very important for all of us in terms of boosting our self-reliance and minimizing our expenses. I don't have anything against modern-style homes per se, but as they point out in the video here, these types of homes require a lot of energy (money) to build, and even if one has the money for it, personally I don't think it's worth spending that crazy amount of money just to have all the niceties that come with modern houses. From "Prospectus for a New Community":

The austerity, although unavoidable at this time, also will be deliberate in the future. It accords better with the community’s nature and purpose than does luxury. Although the community always will endeavor to have the best tools available and to use them to perform its work efficiently, it will not put a premium on physical comfort for its own sake or on reducing physical exertion to a minimum. Manual labor is an activity which should benefit every member, and discomfort in moderation is not necessarily to be shunned. Parsimony in the use of resources, whether personal or community, should be the rule rather than conspicuous consumption.

I'm sure a lot of spoiled Americans would balk at the idea of living in a clay house without all the modern amenities they've grown attached to, but if you ask me our money should ideally be spent only on things that are 1: true necessities and 2: things that can only be reasonably obtained with money. I'd rather build a house like this and use the money I saved for a solar power setup or a reliable truck, for example. Both of these are things that serve a valuable purpose which can't really be replaced by simple hard work and a willingness to live with a bit of discomfort.

However, as shown here and elsewhere, it is very possible to build a sturdy home out of literally dirt-cheap materials that serves its primary purpose well. Nobody is going to say that such a home is luxurious, but as long as it effectively shelters its inhabitants from the elements and provides a suitable living and storage space, nearly everything else is unnecessary.

I have spent some time looking in straw bale and mud houses and I've seen pics of homes that were beautifully done. This is my heart's wish -- to create a home made out of Earthen materials. These materials also protect against wireless radiation, which absolutely necessary today if our race is to survive.

The Ringing Cedars books (https://www.ringingcedars.com.au/) have made a very strong impression on me and totally changed my life. I was so impressed with this material, that I travelled to Russia in 2016 to visit the dolmens, attend two Ringing Cedars festivals, visit the Schetinin school (now closed down), and visit one of the kin's domains settlements in southern Russia -- called Vedrussia. It was an incredible journey and I have fond memories of my experience there. What I learned about the settlements is that there are major learning curves to work through. Creating infrastructure -- like building roads, digging wells, creating buildings for schools and meetings, etc. -- it all takes money, patience, time and cooperation from members of the community. Deciding on who will be allowed into the community and the guiding inspiration by which the community is being created -- all of this needs to considered before moving forward.

The Ringing Cedars books are so powerful that I think every one of our people should read the whole series because they will give us all a common vision and direction and move us toward a common goal for the future of the Earth. It is not enough to just want to live amongst white people. We have to have higher aspirations for our people than currently exist -- and this is especially true regarding how we bring children into this world. The Ringing Cedars books go deep into the topics of sexuality, conscious conception, pregnancy, childbirth and parenting. Most people that read these book just gloss over this critical material and think that they will do fine just building their houses and growing their gardens. However, this is not correct. There were many single parents in the community I visited. This means that they took an erroneous approach toward the creation of children and love broke down as a result. Creating children as a side-effect of fleshy indulgence will immediately damage the children. Conscious conception is necessary. Gestating babies that are not wanted or where there is emotional, physical or spiritual toxicity (such as porn use), will damage the children and the relationship. Allowing the jew medical establishment to get their hands on our babies through their noxious "prenatal care" and/or by going into a hospital to give birth, will almost certainly ensure that the children will be EXTREMELY TRAUMATIZED, spiritually damaged, and that the relationship between the parents will break down over time.

Our people need to understand this fact -- how we bring life into this world really matters. The consciousness we bring to the creation of life matters. If we truly want a future for our race, we have got to get on this issue of how we are creating life.
