Modern-day Mowgli found in the forest where he's lived for 16 years

(In this country, his family wouldn't be allowed to live in the wild.)

"'I'm living well thank you,' he said. 'We are living well. This is the reality we have that we live here, and its quite a good reality.

'To move closer towards the city? For that we need to have a more cultural society, and of course to change how the cities smell and the pollution.

'I am happy here.'"

'We don't want to get back to the city - and smell petrol or at best various cleaning and washing powders.'

English-speaking 'forest boy' nicknamed 'Siberian Mowgli' born and raised in the Altai wilderness

I read about this kid on The Drudge Report last night and I noticed that the first thing they did was to issue him an ID so they could get him into the System - The Sproutarian Man would love this - [www.youtube.com] .

the 'System"

funny the language the writer uses

it is written that the family "opted out of life"

simply because they opted out of living within the "System" as if the "system" were "Life"

does anyone ever wonder how far the "System" has penetrated into the very fabric ...like a dye embedded in the cilia of your mind? ( okay, cilia isn't exactly correct but the nerve network looks cilia- like... cilia with lightning webbing)

how much of your thoughts are truly yours?

do you ever wonder?

i do

and i have no answer

but if none of my thoughts are my own ( just permeations of the external making their way into the recesses of my mind)

then who do they belong to?

they don't belong to the "System"

or at least, that is what i would like to think

maybe i'm a fool to believe that i can be "intact"

wholly integral only to myself

a girl can always dream....

i imagine sometimes

that my mind ( or thoughts) is like a creature

i would love to just take it out to the wilderness

no people, no building, no wifi, no cell phones, no "culture" no "attitudes"
no "fashion" no "government" no ... nothing

just take it out to a clear field

where the grass is tall and swaying

and the sunlight hits it at just the right angle

and i have the patience to stare at a ladybug climbing up the grass stalk

for hours and hours and hours...

never getting bored of every minutiae of change in the wind patterns

or the waning of the sun

and when its night time

the mind creature goes to sleep

and dreams that it was never awake

i'm a fool

and proud of it

there is no greater feeling of freedom

than being able to play the fool

and just

not

care

have you ever wished you were a fool?

i bet you have smiling smiley

babies too can play the "fool" and make adults wish they were too

so foolish

but not foolhardy

because if it was foolhardy

it wouldn't be foolish

and if it weren't foolish

it wouldn't be any fun

and if it isn't any fun

then what is the point?

don't be a farmer unless you give yourself permission to play the fool

locusts, weather... so many things can make you look foolish

don't get into a relationship unless you wish to play the fool

otherwise, you will just end up looking even more foolish than a fool

don't take any risks

unless you enjoy being a fool

a foolish person can recover easier

and last of all, don't live out in the wilderness

unless you think the System is a bunch of fools

then your foolish spell will be over

and Nature may make a fool of you

unless you learn to listen to her

and

obey

or

not

the modern day mowgli is a feral mind - creature trapped in a caged matrix called "Mind"

a wild thing

seeking an insane light

that is endangered every second

of every minute

good luck to all

this will be my last post for a while

this article is an invitation to me to take my mind out of the "System"

this internet food site

and give its sinews and heart chambers more space to breathe, crawl

walk

R
U
N

hahahahahahahahahah!!!!!! smiling smiley

a happy ADIOS!

I think it's amazing that this family could make it in the wild like that for so long. Especially because I'm figuring it's extremely cold there. They should be role models and be doing workshops and have a blog and a reality show on how they make it work.
