Some people believe in God and a Higher power and some do not. Therefore I'm writing this for all people.
Cities tend to make people crazy and because they are getting more and more expensive to live in especially rents and mortgages, they tend to make people crazy mentally which also makes them Crazy Physically as well.
After living in Los Angeles in Glendale and for a short time in the Hollywood Hills and a short time in Venice from ages 8 to 21 I moved to San Diego where my parents had just moved to so I could attend college more easily in San Diego County. However, the slower pace of living in Encinitas and Rancho Bernardo helped me a lot from ages 21 to around age 26 when I first moved to Mt. Shasta.
When I moved to Mt. Shasta I realized fully just how much living in Los Angeles and even in San Diego was just too fast a pace for me to want to continue doing that. So, my goal was to stay in Mt. Shasta even though I found it much harder to make a living there than in San Diego or Los Angeles County.
I found that by greatly slowing down the pace of my life that I could find a balance in my life that I sorely needed. It really helped me to be able to drive in my truck or car or dualsport off road motorcycle deep into the wilderness areas of Mt. Shasta often alone to feel completely with God in the wilderness more of my life.
Then when I was around 32 I bought land very remote even without electricity and I found this to be extremely useful as I built an A-Frame home there on the 2 1/2 acres of land that I purchased then. There was also a water spring on this land at the time too. I built an A-Frame because at that time in the winters we could get 7 feet or more of snow at one time. This usually isn't true anymore. So, the A-Frame would shed snow without collapsing the roof because of it's steep pitch. So, even if I wasn't there I didn't have to hire someone to shovel the snow off it because of the steep pitch. In 1992 in the little City of Mt. Shasta they received 12 feet of snow and many regular roofs collapsed and even though some people hauled their snow blowers up on the roof some fell off into the snow and had to be dug out of the 12 feet of snow. However, I think everyone physically survived the 12 feet of snow as far as I know then in 1992. A friend of mine just bought a snow blower who lives in the City of Mt. Shasta recently too.
This new life was less expensive than having to pay rent or a mortgage anywhere because I paid cash for the land and sold one of our vehicles to buy building materials to actually build the house. Obviously, building materials were incredibly less expensive than they are today. Also, Land has become really expensive compared to 1980 also.
But, the main point I'm trying to make here is that getting away from Big Cities and into the wilderness areas is one of the best ways to heal yourself and to center yourself and to develop your intuitive and instinctual skills. Part of what happens way out in the country and in the wilderness is that (You Slow Down) in how you function in life and this is extremely healing (especially if you grew up in a big city like Los Angeles is where you can literally drive 100 miles and not see anything but one city after another.
So, remoteness in really beautiful areas can help a person develop their intuition and instincts more than anything else I can presently think of.
But, remember I'm speaking to people who believe in God, don't believe in God, People who are Buddhists who may or may not believe in God etc.
So, healing your minds and bodies from spending too much time in big cities can save your life and the lives of your families too on many different levels.
By God's Grace
