I am a completely different person; unrecognizable from photos taken 2 years ago. |
| Would you like to share something about you?: |
I'm a calm, quiet, goofy, extroverted, fiddler, guitar fumbl'n, piano chord pound'n, singer, song writer, timber frame cabin builder, raw vegan, (moving toward living food only, then some day wild food) beekeep'n, Volvo driv'n, movie watch'n, book read'n, sauna tak'n, creek dunk'n, landlord, RN, gardener, who loves the sun and has good credit.
I'm deeply spiritual but not very religious and like to talk about the underlying purpose of life. I try to keep my body fit and am carving on my soul to loosen it from the attachments that keep me from being truly free. Under all of the details of day to day living I posses a boyant faith. I believe that our bodies are designed to function properly and we need only do our part.
I believe that we are capable of healing ourselves...emotionally and physically.
I believe that rocks are alive and have a soul. I love other peoples dogs. I have loved my cats and my chickens though I didn't initially think you could develop a relationship with a chicken. I love goats. I believe that free will, the grandest and most terrifying of gifts, has given us the power to be as holy or depraved as we like. I love to be hypnotized by a camp fire. I think the scariest thing the teacher ever said was that we would be judged by our own words.
My journey began long ago, its details will all be covered in the Akashic records. :) Lately though, about two years ago, The Spirit made me aware that what I consume has a profound impact on my spiritual well being. I have since traveled the road from the Standard American Diet. I have progressively relinquished the eating of mammals, foul, fish, legumes, grains, heated food, and for the most part, roots.
I am now consuming fruit and leafy greens with the occasional use of carrots, garlic, onions, and ginger. For lent this year I gave up fruits that contain a high percentage of fat. Avocados, nuts, and olives have proven to weigh my spirit down. The majority of my calories and liquid comes to me in the form of fresh squeezed orange juice. I have come to believe that it is likely that all food is poisonous and that as we walk away from it we must keep ourselves "nourished" by that which poisons the least until we are ready for lift off.
Nearly two weeks on this lighter fare has resulted in a renewed ability to see that all beings are my soul mate. Closer than a brother or sister. I have not been able to maintain this feeling but catch glimpses of it while driving in my car or walking through the grocery store. The feelings of bliss and oneness seem to run away from any kind of indulgence I partake in. Even overeating fresh juicy fruits or indulging in selfish thoughts.
Last year while on a 3 month juice fast as I was walking through the store, I paused for a moment and contemplated some excessively happy thought. As I did this I noticed the top of my head began to vibrate. This made me quite happy. I am now able to experience this vibrating when my diet is relatively clean and my mind is in the right place.
Another aspect of my path is celibacy. Most do not understand my desire to leave this aspect of life, at least for a time. But it seems that control of appetite in all its forms is required to truly fly.
I sense that I am being led to breatharianism. I want to crash through the nutritional myths that we have been force fed since childhood. I sense that one of my jobs here on Earth is to prove breatharianism to myself and then display it as a message to others that we are more than we have come to believe.
Thanks for reading. I send you all the love I can muster. My intention is that during the coming months and years I will continue to peel off these protective layers that prevent full sensation and expression of all that I truly am. Then you will feel my love in its purer form and I will feel yours. Won't that be great?!
Peace, love, and joy to you all,
