@quinneaker's Light Shining Brighter Than Ever - Assault Part 3

Being that we are in the aftermath of another day spent under armed guard at the @gardenofeden with the Arlington Police forcing unwarranted entry on three separate occasions onto our land on May 23, 2018, I will be sharing some of my thoughts as I process what occurred here concerning the stabbing of @quinneaker by a homeless man, and the grave mishandling of the entire situation by the Arlington Police Department whereby Quinn was arrested instead of the man who assaulted him.

The on-going saga:

- Blessed are we for this opportunity to stand together!  
What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger - Assault: Preface
- Excuses, excuses, excuses - “I’m Just Doing My Job” - Assault: Part 1
- I Am, More Than Ever, Grateful to Be Me! --
Dreaming of a world of accountability - Assault: Part 2

So in order to really be able to comprehend the story of the assault on @quinneaker that I am going to tell you through this series, first we must begin with the man I know as @quinneaker, and what he has created  at the @gardenofeden.  I’m sure many of you are already feeling the @quinneaker vibe, and are aware of the loving, healthy, sustainable realities he has created at the @gardenofeden.  But just in case you don’t know, some background information will be helpful.

I have written extensively about the @gardenofeden, @quinneaker, and my experiences of living with this benevolent human being in a new paradigm reality for over a decade.  Here are a few:

- A lookbook of @quinneaker (my own photos, as always!) I prepared about Quinn's presenting at Steemfest2.
- Thank you for Being @quinneaker!!!
- Master Training with @quinneaker--@everlove how did you get so strong?

These writings will give you a good taste of the foundation of awareness
with which the @gardenofeden came into being.

Following is a testimonial I wrote about him recently, which can in no way cover the depths of the man @quinneaker is.  

I have known Quinn Eaker for over 20 years.  Though he is 24 years my junior, I have had extremely close connection with him and his family, and have watched him grow into the man he is today.

After going through a period of depression as a child in seeing what the world had to offer, Quinn became determined to create a life truly worth living.   I witnessed him explore and experience many profound and diverse realities, which have given him a grand perspective on many walks of life, providing for a powerful foundation for building his own magnificent world.

Over the past decade, Quinn and I have lived together at the present location of the Garden of Eden.  Quinn’s vision to create a holistic, sustainable life based on love, helping each other, being accountable and responsible, and making the world a better place than the one in which we live, has proven, by my own direct witness, to aide and give hope to thousands.  I have never known anyone so excited about life, and focused on following their dream.  Quinn dedicates his life to being of service to others, feeding, housing, and educating people for free every single day.   His devotion has made a global impact, and I personally am astounded at not only his unwavering dedication, but the honor, trust, and love he exemplifies in the process.

Quinn has helped and counseled the homeless, the tired and weary, single moms, needy families, battered women, former drug addicts and alcoholics, and those downtrodden trying to heal from life,  Quinn says he believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to begin again, and encourages them all to live to their highest potential, while simultaneously not judging them or blaming them for who they are, or what they’ve been through.  The greater community including firemen, postal workers, and local business owners have also benefited from his generosity and grace.

Quinn really loves children, and children really love Quinn.  What I witness about the beauty of this is that children, especially young ones pure of heart, have an innate ability with keen intuition to decipher good feeling people from bad feeling people, and gravitate toward those who benefit them most. The joy with which they interact with Quinn is uplifting.  Everyday I enjoy his example as a parent, as I see him set the standards high for truly honoring a child.  I have heard the comment on dozens of occasions from people who know Quinn that they wish they had a dad like him, or wish that they were capable of parenting their own children with such respect.  He indeed is a father figure to many, giving guidance, love and protection, even more than many experience from their own.

I have seen in practice Quinn’s innate ability to find solutions to every problem, making things easy and showing others that they too can find and implement empowered choices.  There have been many times when conflicts have arisen, and Quinn has always proven to be the calmest, most level-headed and capable person at finding resolution.  Even on occasions when someone was extremely dishonorable and disrespectful, broke their agreements and were made to leave the GOE, these situations have been handled without escalation to physical violence.  Though I experience Quinn as firm, strong-willed, persistent, and someone who holds himself and others accountable to their words and deeds, he also balances that with love, respect and understanding.  The entire community and many others around the world look to him for answers and solutions.

It is well known that Quinn loves to engage a consensual match of wrestling, though I have never known him to be the aggressor or an instigator of any form of abusive behavior, nor to act spitefully, maliciously or out of control. I have witnessed him neutralize and take control of many matches without ever having to resort to bodily harm to another.  Everytime I have witnessed that when he has the situation under control, he releases his hold to bring back balance and autonomy for everyone.

Quinn is a very compassionate man, and the most honorable one I have ever known.  He only seeks to raise people up, making the world a better place for everyone, not to cause harm or damage to any living thing.  Quinn’s life is a fine example of how love truly is the answer.

Testimonials to Quinn’s benevolent character are all over social media, including the blockchain, on video, audio, and acknowledged in powerful  progressive circles all around the world. I am personally extremely grateful to witness the way Quinn lives his life, being open, genuine, and real. He lives true to his values with an extremely high level of integrity.  He has helped me immensely to be the best version of myself I can be.  Everyday I am in awe and inspired by his example.

I trust Quinn with my life!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Our life at the @gardenofeden really is something that most Americans cannot comprehend, as they have no frame of reference from which to form their awareness.  The basics of what we do physically on a daily basis is much more familiar to people in other countries, as many of them live closer to the earth, more in harmony with the land and their families, and put their energy and priority on living a simple great life, rather than being slave to the idea of money.

We are, however, doing much more than living a sustainable life close to the earth, we are expanding awareness of the potential for a whole new world, and setting an example of living from the heart.

The homeless man who assaulted @quinneaker on May 23, 2018, was one of the hundreds, if not thousands of recipients of the magnificence of Quinn’s dedication toward living the most amazing life possible, and sharing it with others.  We’re quite astounded at the turn of events, especially in the face of Quinn’s faithful and unwavering service to humanity, and the homeless man's acknowledgement that the @gardenofeden is the best place he had ever been.

The @gardenofeden is presently located in the conservative, bible belt Arlington, Texas area.  The Inhabitants have more open and progressive ways of living than everyone we know, and our way of life has been met with much resistance from neighbors, and especially from the local Arlington Police Department.  Though the locals at the bank, fire department, post office, and other nearby businesses have gotten to know, love and appreciate us, the Arlington Police still continue to harass us to preserve their control through forceful intimidation.   

In some ways I am sadly not surprised by the actions of the APD.  They have, however,  chosen a worthy opponent, because as I see it,  @quinneaker is a man put on this planet to bring forth change.  He will hold up the mirror and let their ugly faces be seen.  

This challenge is indeed an opportunity to open pathways for acknowledging our collective, dark creation of a system that holds us all hostage, for making better choices, and taking action on a powerful evolutionary path.

If you have not yet looked at our website, I’m sure you will find it an interesting read.  You will likely see why our cutting-edge ways are shaking up the men with guns, though we feel is the answer to many of the evils of life, giving hope for a brighter future for us all.
