Our property is on 50 acres of beautiful forest land in upper michigan where we live and work and spend our days in peace with nature. The name “The Mountain” comes from the fact that we have one of the tallest mountains in the entire area on the property that has the most spectacular scenic views.

 

We believe in developing spiritually by reconnecting with nature which is the true reality of this world. So many people nowadays are not living in reality by obsessing in material desires like expensive cars, houses, fancy clothes, or whatever else is popularized by television and news media. We believe those people are living in a mental fog and have forgotten what’s important in life. People in the world today are obsessed with ‘having’ instead of just ‘being’. This is the reason why so many people are unhappy and unfulfilled, only by reconnecting with nature and the simple innocence that it nurtures can our spirits be truly content and happy.

 

We practice meditation, chi kung and believe in the teachings of the late Franz Bardon who taught techniques for achieving magical abilities through self improvement and connection with divinity.

 

Where is “The Mountain”?

It is located in northern upper michigan a few miles from lake superior on 50 acres of beautiful forest land.

We work hard every day to make “The Mountain” better and closer to our vision of 100% self reliance without polluting the air, land or water. Every year we add more plants, trees and bushes that provide food for many of the various animals and birds here. We have lots of rabbits, raccoons, porcupines, foxes, coyotes, wolves, deer, moose, bear, bald eagles, sand cranes, ducks, geese and an occasional skunk.

 

We have a large garden where we grow our own food and a large fruit tree orchard that provides us with delicious fresh fruit and of course everything is 100% organically grown. We have thousands of hazel nut bushes and berry bushes such as blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry and we will be planting strawberries soon.

 

 

There are many hiking trails that stretch across the property and beyond, and because of the rockiness of the area there is great hiking. We have a new wet sauna for escaping from the autumn and winter cold. We also have hundreds of dvd’s for relaxing after the sun has set.

 

We believe in utilizing the latest technologies as long as they are green technologies that don’t contribute to pollution in any way.

We own 4 different internet businesses that sell various booklets and downloadable information. These provide a 24 hour source of income to fund all our activities. We also have other investments and own apartment duplexes which provide a steady stream of income so we never need to worry about money ever again.

We have decided to live a low-impact way of life that has the lowest possible impact upon the earth. This is achieved from renewable energy technologies, permaculture, ecological building and organic gardening. Our planet is becoming overcrowded and our addiction to fossil fuels is destroying our planet. Pollution and global warming are on the rise and its just a matter of time before the system begins breaking down. Most peoples lives are also lacking true happiness since they are too busy in the rat race of life trying to keep up with the purchases of their neighbors. We are changing this be trying to create a sustainable lifestyle of self sufficiency for ourselves.

We do not pretend to be 100% low-impact or self sufficient yet but we are trying and experimenting with new techniques and ideas.  Our philosophy is to try to be truly conscious of our effects on nature and do our best to not impact it in negative ways or at least to keep any negative impact to a bare minimum. Mankind is primarily driven on this planet by one thing, MONEY! He does not stop to think wether something is right or wrong, good or bad, only if it is profitable. Even a child can recognize that this is wrong.

 

We believe that the world cannot continue on its present course for much longer. Its just a matter of time before it begins breaking down and economies begin failing because they are based upon a system that is not sustainable. This is especially true in regards to current sources of energy and careless disregard to the consumption of oil. Wether or not this breakdown happens within our lifetime is irrelevant since we are already well prepared for it in either event. Its not a matter of if it will happen but is a matter of when.
