Peace- Raw Penomena, Molly

my goddess, ode to the Devas on high and throughout they came to join us after
the 9/11 massacre witch had such misguided volition...

*

another days meal of whole raw, corn again with cucumber and banana (along with some smoothie) , wolfed down this morning- to fullness... before picking up a larger monitor and gliding in grace within this gorgoeus day. the month has been so wet the gardens are thriving.

when the cravings come knocking I ask, what EMOTION are you trying to suppress this time?
What is it that you want exactly, cause it ain't to feed me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suckers. I am not even three digits in weight, under a hundred and barely eat a thing and yet, I lift a 75 LB monitor
which causes 200 Lb men to groan and exclaim that it is A BEAST! it makes no conventional sense that i should be feeling so good and battling the demons and finally
WINNING.

been doing mild work outs on the mothers small machine but not much more, just mindfully progressing away from conventional habits and conventional wisdom (the uncaring, the care free eat whatever you want it doesn't matter pretending is cool and complaining is comfortable)....

oh well a little corn on the cobb aversion is threatening to sink this raft. I am p[atching up the holes and scooping out the water and resuming the trip across to the other shore!

11:27am:
Again it is the lack of awareness of cause effect relationship that undermines our people's power.
SAD people really do not believe that what they eat effects them in any way, preferring to imagine all
things to be the luck of the draw!
So the doctors and pharmas get loads of business from those "unlucky" sufferers of "mysterious maladies!"

Later: 1:33pm
as I get closer to the Breath i am sensative to all that enters the mouth and am driven insane by it. the perceptions depend entirely upon what goes in there.
Today I had an advanced raw foodsist's lunch (well it is actually the only meal I eat).

What was it?

All frehs from a garden:
One tomato, one cucumber (my father's garden out back)
and three ears of corn (my brother got from the city Mission food pantry,
unhusked and never been refridgerated, I swear these things are organic)
eaten to fullness. Maxed out and satisfied.
I had tried some smoothie made with blueberries, coconut meat, soaked flax seeds and soaked rice ground and blended but it was bland without banana or sweetner. The corn satisfies the sweet tooth. It is a favored raw food.

I know I have to turn on a dime since all food, even these meals, the likes of which I had read about advanced raw foodists enjoying the most, whole raw foods like this. I put the five items on a big plate and ate them like a meal but it looked nothing like a regular meal. Despite it being a whole foods raw feeding ("meal"), I still feel awful, stupid and regretful since abstinence from food karma is so awesome, noble and saintly. To be involved in the karma of food ... blah blah blah I am too incapacitated to write or coordinate typing.
means to eat more than just the nutriment of the food, it means to feel the vibrations that attend the food.
the bad news is that all food is a comprimise.
the good news is that on raw one needs far less to sustain the same amount of rupa kalapas.
the good news is that fresh raw ears corn offer the highest raw experience.

not much time to commit to journaling Live at this point focusing on other things. building website, uploading for the new book to be published Aug 22,2008.

I am more frightened on food. albeit raw food. On the dry system there is a protection from fear. I am more able to participate in the worlds of the black and white, the male and female the duality in general. and the convenience of no indigestion and bathroom calls is outrageous. NOW i must recommit again to stay dry as it is superior to the wet way... which does not protect from fear.
talking cryptically because I am not sure who reads this. I will soon be solving that issue.
I am broke and am trying to earn some money on the net.

I will remember the magic of Hawaii as I live day by day in Buffalo, my home town, a place that is almost the opposite of Hawaii (Kauai especially) and yet being earth plane it is still the same in a way... jus remember the values of simplicity, humility, real pride and immaterialism of deeper Hawaiian values.

the fear is cause by the freezing of the subtle body which if not nimble and free, is easily spooked due to inability to react naturally, due to frustration.

super raw I have witnessed a miracle. My younger brother is eating the raw mixes, even if with some commericial hot sauce... and loving it... and staying sober.

mother has changed on simple daily raw juice. but I have no more cash to buy raw produce and such for the juices and smoothies. Cooked people have a hard time spending money on preventative "medicine," or on their health, or on produce... certainly on odd things they have never experienced before... fresh raw produce is so foriegn to our SAD country people, who rely on packaged food almost exclusively, including steamed frozen vegetables, like spinich and such with some fear of fresh produce being "dirty." This is radical SAD but it is typical of many Americans in back woods places where the health revolution has barely seeped, where the majority, perhaps 90%, are not in the 11:11 flow, are not ascending from duality, are resisting the ascension, staying cynical and not letting go the way most, perhaps up to 90% in more progressive places are, <in the wave of the female empowerment energy>.
I now realize just how sexist a sports town in eastern USA can be. and Original person phobic! these dear ones are very simple and cannot understand the Original nature and need to be an individual even considering them "slow!"

i know, another recipe but this time, with china on the mind:

Asian Dressing 

(this recipe is on page 116 of my book, it is the family size recipe, doubled)

 

4 tablespoons raw tahini

10 tablespoons water, more or less

4 tablespoons nama shoyu or other liquid salty substitute

1/2 cup minced scallions

2 tablespoons flax seed oil

2 tablespoons sesame oil (toasted if you are not 100% raw for best flavor)

2 tablespoons honey (tastes best but use agave if you prefer, honey is not vegan)

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

 cloves garlic, pressed

1/2 teaspoon Chinese 5 Spice powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

In a blender, blend all ingredients until fairly smooth. Add half of this dressing to the pate, then more as necessary for taste and texture, you can adjust texture with addtional pate as well. This will be a soft pate, like hummous or onion dip, use it to fill veggies, like half a pepper, or top off a salad with it. 

Other yummy items you can add to this pate to bring out the Asian flavor in it are: chopped cilantro, minced celery, chopped snow peas, finely minced carrot or red pepper, chopped leeks and or chopped shallots. 

Basic Sunflower Pate

3 Cups sunflower seeds, soaked 8-12 hours, sprouted (leave out on counter) 2-4 hours

1 cup lemon juice

2 tablespoons nama shoyu or similar liquid salt substitute 

1 clove chopped garlic

 

In a food processor, process the sunflower seeds, lemon juice, salty liquid and garlic until smooth . Store in a covered container for up to two weeks.Yields 6-7 cups.

 

Special Sunflower Pate

3 cups sunflower seeds, soaked 8-12 hours. Sprouted for 2-4 hours
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/4-1/2 cup raw tahini
1/4 cup liquid amino's, or 2 tablespoons nama shoyu, or pinch of sea
salt with add'l water, or none at all
2-4 slices red onion, cut in chunks
4-6 tablespoons coarsely chopped parsley
2-3 medium cloves garlic, coarsley chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)

Soak sunflower seeds 8-12 hours, drain, allow to sprout for 3-4 hours (leave
out on counter) then thoroughly rinse and drain removing as many of the
thin inner husks that float to the top as possible. In a food processor,
process the sunflower seeds, lemon juice, scallions, tahini, liquid
amino's, onion, parsley, garlic and cayenne until the mixture is a
smooth paste.

When thoroughly blended taste and adjust the seasoning. The pate will
develop a stronger garlic taste in a few hours. Yields a large mixing
bowl of pate. (approximately 8 cups)

when one wonders how one has come to be light in the pocket book, one must then remember that one gave up a heavy pocket book in order to find oneself, to be free from the bondage of assuming one is one's thoughts... what a mistake is I think therefor I am!!!!! fundamental madness! it is the very thoughts themselves that mislead us. So this Zoe left chushy life and found sobriety and maximum opportunity for original experience and expression. the raw is returning me to this understanding, this door way is opening again...

meanwhile the colon is racked with discomforts. I suspect these kalapa group called colon is unwell for this is not natural at all. I am giving it a full rest and swearing off all solid foods until the time when enlightenment is ! ... here 2, 4

need to make nut ball candy for my father to have around.

 

(subsitute other nuts or dates for raisins... )

1/2 cup shelled walnuts
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1/2 cup hulled sunflower seeds
1/2 cup hulled pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup (or less or to taste) Agave Syrup
Freshly ground flax seed meal (golden or brown, doesn't matter.)

Chop the nuts and raisins in a food processor
Put in a large bowl and add the agave and almond butter, mix well.
Shape into balls (I use a teaspoon to measure and make small ones as these suckers are intense!)
Roll in flax seed meal and refrigerate overnight.
They'll harden up and keep well in the fridge and are great to take along on those outings where all your friends are eating cooked food and the restaurant isn't the greatest. Just pop a few of these and you'll easily resist temptation.

Makes around two dozen balls.

Carrot Cake and Frosting

(This recipe calls for both a juicer with blank screen and a food processor)

<oh but improvise you!!!!!!!!!>

This yummy recipe yields 8 cups, or 10-16 servings, one small piece goes a long way! Can be made one or two days in advance and kept refrigerated. The malleable consistency of this carrot cake will allow you to make it into any shape. Make a traditional looking 2 layer round cake with frosting between layers, or get creative and shape it into the form or a Christmas tree or star, on a large platter.

Frosting

In blender blend cashews with enough water to allow blender to run. When smooth, add in dates until sweet enough. Add in vanilla.

Carrot Cake

Food processor: combine pecans and pine nuts. Process until uniformly fine. Add coconut, pulse until mixed in. Add spices, pulse until mixed, set aside.

Juicer: (use blank) alternate putting carrot pulp, raisins, apricots and dates through. Knead until mixture is evenly combined. Add in nut mixture a little at a time, kneading it in.

Line 2 round cake pans with saran wrap (you may have to oil the pans first).

Put mixture in pans, pack in. Refrigerate until ready to frost.

"...it was all about not letting anything stop you, letting an idea form and grow despite any obstacles, finding ways around them, actually using the present moment as the creative materials..."

i know I said no more pictures but this gormet recipe has many ideas that are rawLicious:

 
This recipe was created for the World's Largest Salmon Barbeque in Fort Bragg, California-the home of Living Light Culinary Arts Institute. It was created to help raise money to improve salmon habitat and save the salmon. The cutlet is actually a nut-based faux salmon pate, shaped into patties and brushed with a Tamari Dulse Sauce, then coated with a Brazil Nut Crumble before dehydrating long enough to provide a crunchy outer layer. Topped with our famous Cashew Horseradish Dill Sauce made from cashew and pine nut cream, horseradish, dill, and capers, with just a drizzle of Sweet Chili Sauce, it is the perfect alternative to salmon. Let's save the salmon-not eat them!

Save the Salmon Paté
1/2 cup almonds, soaked in water for 8 hours
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, soaked  in water for 4 - 6 hours
2 tablespoons flax oil
1/2 cup carrot pulp (produced by making carrot juice)
4 tablespoons celery, minced
4 tablespoons red onion, minced
4 tablespoons parsley, minced
4 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons ground golden flax seed
3/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon kelp powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed, or x3 fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan crystal salt
1/8 teaspoon smoked salt
 
1/2 cup Brazil Nut Crumble (see recipe, below)
2-3 tablespoons Horseradish Dill Sauce (see recipe, below)
1 tablespoon Tamari Dulse Sauce (see recipe, below)
1 tablespoon Sweet Chili Sauce (see recipe, below)

1. Process almonds and sunflower seeds, using a Champion or Green Life Juicer with the homogenizing blank in place. Use very small amounts of oil in an alternating fashion to facilitate ease of processing.
2. Put mixture into a bowl and add remaining ingredients, except Crumble and Sauces. Mix well by hand.
3. Form into oval-shaped cutlets, 3/4-inch thick, using 3/4 cup paté for each.
4. Brush 1 tablespoon of the Tamari Dulse Sauce on one side the cutlet and place it in the Brazil Nut Crumble. Press gently and firmly so the Crumble will stick to the cutlet. Turn the cutlet over and press the other side firmly into the Nut Crumble.
5. Place croquettes, with the side containing the Tamari Dulse Sauce on a dehydrator tray lined with a non stick sheet and dehydrate for 2 hours at 115 before turning it over and removing the sheet. Dry for another 1-2 hours and serve warm with a dollop of Horseradish Tarter Sauce, and a drizzle of Sweet Chili Sauce.

*Will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Tamari Dulse Sauce
Yield: 1/4 cup
 
2 tablespoons dulse soaked in 2 tablespoons water for 10 minutes
2 tablespoons tamari
 
1. Wisk ingredients until smooth. Store leftover sauce in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Brazil Nut Crumble
Makes 1 1/2 cups
 
1 cup Brazil nuts, ground
1/2 cup almonds, finely ground
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning powder
1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoons fine crystal salt
pinch black pepper
 
Combine ingredients in a food processor, and pulse to mix, or stir well by hand.

Sweet Chili Sauce
Yield:  3/4 cup
 
1/4 cup agave syrup
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoons garlic
2 1/2 teaspoons ginger, finely grated
2 1/4 cup large chilies, seeded and chopped or 3/4 cup large dehydrated chilies, soaked for 1 hour and seeded plus 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dulse powder, optional for fishy flavor
2 teaspoons tamari
 
1/2 tablespoon chili flakes
 
1. Blend ingredients until smooth. Add chili flakes and pulse to mix. Do not puree - mixture should be flecked with chili flakes.
 
Creamy Dill Tartar Sauce
Yield: 1 cup (serves 6-8)
 
1/4 cup cashews, soaked in water 2 hours
1/4 cup pine nuts, soaked in water 2 hours

1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons water, as needed
3 tablespoons dill weed, minced
1/4 cup capers
1/4 cup celery, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons horseradish
1 1/2 tablespoons red onion, minced
 
1. Place cashews, pine nuts, lemon juice, agave, and salt in a blender and add just enough water to form a think, smooth cream. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth and creamy with a satiny appearance, with no grittiness.
2. Add remaining ingredients and pulse for a few seconds. Do not over process-mixture should be a little chunky.
Store sauce in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

"...the cooked dimension moves faster (while the cooked eater moves slower) so there is less time for reflection. it seems raw fooders are indulgent but it is just that usually it is because the raw dimension is one of time expansion and increased time "management" with more awareness and interest in one's experiences. there is, literally, more time to think about and contemplate these things when raw. Conversely, the raw dimension moves slower(while the raw eater moves faster) allowing more Time...." Zoe, -Kapahi, July 2005

No more wining, no more quiter, no more wishing. make it happen. be a winner, a real thorough triumphant ascending, ever increasing in abundance of wisdom. so we take a simple wish from 3 years ago and trun it into a statement that will make sense in a universe where success is the rule of thumb, where it is the assumption and were we make things happen rather than wish things didn't happen to us.
"...wish i could drown in the simultaneous worlds of literature, be a fictional character i could create to make the decisions which i fail to make at the critical moments!..." -also from Kapahi, 2005

rewriting a script?

so the answere or the solution to the above wish, is to create the character and put her in these situations, these critical moments, these "moments of truth" when she stands at the cross roads between further sifting through illusion to glimpse enlightenment and sinking into sensual bliss leading to hell.
through this character, explore her thinking and see objectively what happens both ways, go into depth which each opposing decision and find the middle path in the end...
as she stood at the crossroads... no, take her in each directions, these are two oposing directions, it is duality 101, either this or that with no middle road. one either wants to be free or accepts being a slave. or can one be a free slave??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 RAW AMBITION COMPASSION AMBITION, a desire to be compassionate, to feel, to love to hear the children to love my adopted family. despite being switched at birth, these are the people I am hanging out with in this lifetime as call family! to love is a huge priviledge.
it is earned kamma to be able to feel. raw and fasting allow access to these higher feelings and qualities of human nature. 
DRY is WHY 
I do not CRY.
Me Oh My 
right now I try
to bid adue to say good bye
to second guessing crap filled lie
to posession 
negative thoughts that seek to feed off of me, profiting from my suffering, milking me for all I'm worth! Oh heavens, saving me is saving the planet and her children.

when it reaches this point, the raw is becomeing the temptation, eclipsing cooked. It is time to BEWARE and be VIGILENT. 

the raw too is supporting the agribusiness factory farms and 
BEEF and consumption now has become so deeply connected that it supports the beef industry, one of the most profitable industries, which if I am dry, will be exposed.

so my dry is contributing to a vegan ethic on earth. 

this frugal raw looks amazing (i am deluded by the pictures of the raw forms and colors on the website...

KAUAI News

Candidates oppose Superferry return

by Nathan Eagle - THE GARDEN ISLAND

For the first time this election season, the field of candidates for mayor and Kaua‘i County Council were together for the Eco-Roundtable Candidates Forum, yesterday, at the War Memorial Convention Hall.

Dozens of residents packed the room to hear what the hopefuls had to say on issues primarily dealing with island sustainability.

The 19 council candidates and four mayoral candidates in attendance showed unanimous opposition to the Hawaii Superferry’s return to Kaua‘i without an independent environmental impact statement first.

The field also found common ground on the need to expand bus service, establish curbside recycling and ban pesticides in county parks....

it's ok to be happy.

this is the first lesson learned when one is raw for a while.

when one who does not know this suddenly sees the insane mind loop that insists on bleakness, hopelessness, despair and losing as a way of life, as inevitable. as i increase my confidence and objectivity to these untrue thoughts which are simply a way for the farmers to milk me, I can be a more effective person in life. no more suicidal ruts and terror stricken stillness.
i am powerful beyond words.
as it has been said, one thing about raw cannot be verbalized it is simply beyond the intellect and must be experienced but still there is an infinite array of experiences and information that can be conveyed though it will only really be meaningful to those who have that experiential understanding, who have done the raw. Others will be curious and interested but can not hear everything. suddenly, with the benefits of vegan ethics combined with the physical desire to never eat cooked food again for the sake of detoxing thoroughly and not backtracking, for the sake of streamlining my efforts to ascend, everthing massively logical and facinating about raw has me as a fan. the only raw speaker I can listen to endlessly is da kine! unny that but true in the most objective way that has nothing but facts and means nothing beyond what it is. there is no point to what one feels or thinks in the raw paradigm. in cooked world there is constant second guessing, suspicion of people's motives and bizarre guessing about the "TRUTH." as if the truth were hidden and masked behind some false pretense like... you guessed ... the meat and dairy industry. the King and Queen of SAD. raw is innocence and straight up.
no need to pretend when one enters the garden of truth, light, wellness, responsibility for one's reality.

today's food intake:

after drying out with massive benefits between yesterday afternoon and today 10am i was famished and truly ready to take the leap in to the air which I am so looking forward to,  as I begin once again to dry out and allow the higher forces to join me on this ascending earth plane.

The success was blatent and the recipe for success is clear: O2, the simple compound we call air and nothing added, no spices necessary for the perfect dish or DeLish.
However, the habit is to seek for that pleasure outside oneself, in things that one must place into the mouth, chew, swallow and then leave it to the digestive fires, juices and the etheric CHI force to process the goods and eliminate the unecessary. these things are of specific shape, texture, color, they produce various sensations and lead to various experiences which are not deeply saintly or enlightening.
nonthe less raw DeLish has a Kammic load that is very low and it is the deep commitment to push out the toxins of old via complete abstinence from cooked food first which leads the psyche to accept the subtle Kammic benefits of DRY. Why dry? because I cry.
the countless animals that are suffering for the sake of meat and dairy based foods are first to avoid, discard and understand as harmful on so many levels.
then we can subtly refine from there with raw foods being almost harmless but by no means easy or free or allowing for the clearest compassion which will arise if patience is perfected!!!!!!!
I know it is a battle on some level but my confidence is increasing and I will win.
the posessing entity wants me to need things outside myself so that it can flourish off of my need, it can enter into my vibrational juices through the orifices which I open, be it upper or lower... as these orifices close, that entity has no way in. I am free. I am me. it is an aggregate process of awareness and equanimity of the passing aggregates, the evaluation of forms which appear so solid but are not real. the "amazing" raw food while superior to cooked in the raw paradigm
is still an illusion.
remains no more than a rising and passing phenomenon which is not really very exciting at all.
being free of this passing show is true independence. mother loved the juice today. it was a miracle she said it was the BEST EVER drink sh ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is getting more sensative, slightly more tuned in. really. it is slow and I expect nothing only to be delighted by any improvement!!!!!!!!!!!


A JUICER IN THIS HOUSE is madness! A MIRACLE.
My younger brother is taking to the raw food and drinks like medicine.


today it was the left over Zucchini pasta salad with the amazing italian dressing that bated me and won... as if it wants me... it is nuetral and has no preferences. It is a one way street. I want it. I do not need it but I WANT IT and it does not want me. I must trump these material baits and not get cought in the web of craving again! Raw craving can be ravenous and this is where I have to learn to know that this will also change... this is where the objectivity and determination with compassion arise and become the beautifying qualities of patience, renunciation and quiet. 
after the zucchini dish it was dehydrated crackers and some more raw veggies and a blueberry smoothie and some juice of carrots, celery, pear, apple... cucumber, cabbage... and a banana... to fullness but proceeded to live out the fantasy I had been having of blending the yerba mate with the one date that was left over and some raw brown rice meal and that was consumed cold and then it was over... the raw feeding was over by noon and I am returning to independence freedom and renunciation.
what new angle to use today??? Complete dedication to the cause the only thing I am on earth for. the thing is needed is compassion and ambition trumping appetite and desire for the food LOKA or experience. it is a renunciation of that paradigm, that rhelm, that "matrix" of human beings, a preference for the subtle and fine compassionate ambition.

ABC... A is for Apple; B is for

Food Diary: this morning I wanted to be the breath gain. I started out dry and am working on it. at 1pm I caved and made some dark roast yerba mate which is cold soaked but still not a high vibration raw. ANyway before I tried to enjoy it I drank 12 ounces of juice of carrot, apple, pear, celery... a little cabbage and zucchini tossed in... it was divine. Then I sipped some yerba mate plain, no sweetner but very strong and cold and whipped in blender. Then I proceeded to make a smoothy with blueberry, banana, pear and plum along with rice meal which is brown rice (or any grain) soaked 12 hours then dried (sprouted...) for 12-24 hours, then ground in coffee grinder to a meal. It makes a delicious suppliment to a smoothy or anything. I love it and get especially excited about raw grains ground up to a paste or a "meal" or added to make a drink. In the past I have done this with oat to make an amaizing raw oat milk. rye also but now wheat and rice are my favorites though I have limited experience though have used buckwheat as well which has less glutton and is not as desireable so it may be the glutton which I am so attracted to!
anyway I am super full and can feel the colon is full and healing from it's ulcers. I intuit that I have some dis ease down there from the difficulties with digestion I have felt any time I ate light (like when I was 14 years old) or went raw, enormous stomach gas and weakness in the lower digestive area. I also have seen blood and mucus in the stool when I am raw or doing the liquidarian thing...
No more human problems is my motto.
wretched they are when I know they are unecessary for me.
I have the cure for all dis ease and dis comforts.


Oh the sunnyrawkitchen just served a course: http://thesunnyrawkitchen.blogspot.com/

...I just got back from a 10 day meditation retreat at the Vipassana Center in Merrit, BC. I found out I was going only at the last minute and barely had enough time to pack.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Vipassana, it's one of India's most ancient meditation techniques and was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago. Vipassana, which means "to see things as they really are", is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. While most meditation techniques aims mainly to quiet the mind, Vipassana works at a deeper level, purifying the mind of its negativities/ conditioning. This non-sectarian technique also allows one to realize the truth of impermanence in a direct and experiential way within the framework of one's own body. After using it daily for the last 7 years, I am still amazed at how simple yet effective Vipassana is. I can honestly say that this technique has positively changed my life in a tangible way.

One of the unusual aspects of the Vipassana Centers is that they are operated solely on a donation basis. Old students volunteer their time and energy in order to 'serve', allowing others to benefit from sitting a meditation course. So this time around, besides meditating about 6 hours a day, I also gave a hand in the kitchen, preparing the daily salads and special meals....

Q.) Share as much as you feel comfortable to about your age, gender, occupation, and where you live. We'd love to see photos of you as well! Of course if you want to remain anonymous, that's fine, but a first name will help readers identify with you.

A.) Age 41, Gender F, Occupation: None at the moment, last thing I was doing was private raw chef for an artist on Kauai. That was in Princeville on the north shore where I stayed in exchange for making raw food and juices for one person and myself and occassionally for her friends and associates. Even keeping one person raw can be a big task but it was most profound and here I experienced a lot by experience, tapping in to the natural intuition that the raw lifestyle opens one up to.  I read a lot and spent long, exciting hours researching recipes and ideas on the internet. Most of what was created in the kitchen was spontaneous based on what we had around, which was a lot. We were very close to farmer's markets and the health food store as well as belonging to a mail order group where we got bulk staples so usually there was more than enough raw goods with which to make the best, freshest and usually organic raw foods.

What was/is the issue in question?

Q.) Acne, greasy/ lank hair; anxiety, overweight, cancer, dry skin, depression, high blood pressure, mood swings, diabetes? People will be interested whether you story is a dramatic recovery from a life threatening illness in a short space of time, or a slower road to helping a relatively minor problem. Define the issue, and say what impact it had on your life- physically, socially, emotionally, financially, perhaps even romantically! Was the issue a gradually creeping kind of condition, or did you have a serious wake up call?

A.) Originally I have to go back to the end of 1996 when I was a vegetarian and came across a raw food restaurant on Maui in the north shore town of Paia. It was called "Raw Experience,"co owned by Renee Loux and Jeremy Saffron, both now published authors and famous rawfoodists. I was very very reluctant to try this food at first as I witness is the case with many many people I now come across especially in the less urban or less health conscious areas of the country. Well I had come from 23 years in backwoods Buffalo NY and was 4 years into vegetarianism, which was a struggle at first too, having been raised in a strict, I would say orthodox meat eating family and environment. At the time I first walked into raw experience I was suffering from strong attatchments to cooked food and all the usual cooked vegetarian addictive suspects! I was also suffering from various human maladies like common cold a few times a year, soar throats, even strep throat a few times a year, exzema outbreaks now and then, cold sore outbreaks now and then and relentless, debilitating head aches almost daily. I was, in short, a wreck! I was damaged goods but I was simultaneously physically strong and healthy and fairly slim for a cooked foodist, weighing maybe 110 pounds or so steadily, despite frequent over eating. I excersized fairly regularly as a beach goer and swimmer. I was depressed and miserable and suffered from anti-socialism. In essece I had forgotten who I was but that memory lapse was the very reason why I was not passionate about recovering my power, i was trapped in the web of insecurity and self doubt, etc.. I was slightly paranoid and had frequent fights with my loved ones. I judged people and laughed about serious issues. I was an american through and through at the time with little worldly experience and a lot of POTENTIAL. I was frustrated because the potential was boiling within... I thought all of this misery was part of the human condition and accepted it as part of life, thereby suffering further from a vague sense of suicidal tendancies...
these are some subtle perceptions of an otherwise normal person, as I like to analyze deeply at times and thus it may seem that I paint a rough picture. There was a lot of determination and wisdom within this person but for the sake of truth, these are the issues mainly that raw foodist began to chip away at.
It took less than a year to convince me to go raw, to allow the diet to take over my life, to give it a try and to experience the raw benefits immediately and the detox as well. To make a long story shorter, Just three months raw led eventually to the complete elimination of the worst conditions. Over thenext few years I was raw off and on, returning most frequently to cooked vegetarian diet with all the usual suspects arising again. I was more in touch with the effects and now new that it was what I ate that led to my being sick so I was still making myself sick but with more awareness and taking responsibility for it. I still remember getting sick from eating, not one meal or one day, but for days in a row, if I ate really bad, into a week or more then I would end up violently ill. FOr me this meant sever common cold or flu symptoms coupled with aches and pains and head ache and I would be bed ridden and think I was going to die, imagining that I had AIDS or some mysterious deadly and fatal illness...
Well in 2001 I returned to raw for a short time and at the same time commenced with occassional fasting. This put and end completely to all sickness and whenever I felt the least bit unwell I would fast immediately for 1, 2, 3 days or up to a week and would be healthy again. I still ate cooked food and one time since then I did so days in a row and gave myself laringitus and flu like symptoms, and a few times when I over did the cooked sugar for days in a row, a cold sore bubbled up on the lower lip, but other than that no disease. No nothing. The head aches had lessened in intensity though there still is discomfort in the effected aeas it is less and I now believe it to be related to glandular frustration or something like that along with a continuous detox effect felt in the neck, jaws, face and head. It may have to do with pituitary gland which was blocked for so long, pineal gland, these glands which were weakened from years of abuse and neglect are re awakening to their original state of health and wellness...
Sometime around 2005 I went raw again and since then have been raw off and on but more raw than ever, doing it for many months in a row for example, takes one to a new level, finally realizing the fruits of the labor of staying raw in a cooked world. The body changes in amazing ways, becomes more grounded and stronger over time (though initially one may feel weaker and lose weight, eventually the body will gain weight easily on raw though it will be a happier flesh!!) Eventually the body is so flooded with nutrients that one needs far less food than one used to... chronic fullness for 1-3 days after one raw "feeding" is not uncommon in my experience... and the personality can become more optimistic. Really hard to describe what it is like and it really has to be experienced! Suffice to say it is worth the effort. The magic of making raw food is interesting. One is not alone in this process. the fine devas and angels of the heaven rhelms love and support this way of being human.
So what started back in 1997 as a wish to experience the raw high that I was hearing and reading about evolved into a desire to be free from physical distress like head ache and such and led eventually, to the 2001 onwards awareness that the raw diet (and/or fasting) was superior for me spiritually, that it helped me get by in the world easier, that it was a noble lifestyle, that it was kinder and gentler, that it was loving foods, that it bolstered compassion and made me a better all around nicer person...
 I now feel that the raw diet cannot fail anyone, it is our approach that may be wrong, we may expect too much from it (for instance we are used to fast food and fast results and so we carry that into this natural lifestyle which is like nature, slow, steady, law abiding and beautiful... simply by eating100% raw for a month we should be happy all the time or... get enlightened ) or we may go about it the wrong way or we may simply be so addicted to cooked food that we prefer to be in denial and blame the raw diet itself for our inability to be a raw foodist, to live the raw lifestyle, to make the dramatic changes in our self control, our choices and our self responsibility, our willingness to admit the truth.
No we will not get enlightened by eating raw food but over time if we stay on this path we will experience more light than if we stay on the path of cooked food. this is fairly likely but even this one cannot gaurentee because we are our own masters in many ways and we are holistic creatures and this is one very profound way to impact our lives in a positive was but it is not a panacea though I do believe it can bolster and lead to a relative panacea, answer to all problems as one stays in the solution at all times afetr one had refined one's diet to optimize brain functioning, intuitive abilities and grace.
I saw on tv this morning someone had saved a fast food burger and fries for years, one plate was 7 years old and one was 14 years old. These things did not decompose. no mold. they looked a little shrivelled but were recognizable. the fries even still felt greasy... this was so shocking as it hit home why when I consume junk food it stays in the body whereas raw food tends to leave immediately or within a day. And it explains why it may take a long time to recover from 20 or 30 years of putting this stuff down the tubes, forcing it into the sensative digestive system and having some of it reach the colon only to stay there for years!!!!!!!!
So now the raw diet has many selling points! The more I experience and learn and discover the more reasons to stay raw! It has a sea of advantages. The enzymes are so vital. The results are that one feels better and younger. The Kamma is astounding as it helps one stay closer to vegan if one so chooses which is truly the kindest way to inhabit the human form! We are conscious beings and we can choose not to support killing innocent animals so that we may put their flesh in our mouths and say "mmmm good," thereby "tasting or sampling a chunk of dead animal," or torturing innocent animals so that we may have their bodily fluids such as milk and the horrible suffering that takes place in factory farms! No we do not do the killing and torturing ourselves but as we evolve spriritually we always grow to see the connection sand relationships behind the space -time limitation of here -now.
It has been said that time is an illusion that time is relative. We are free to do with that understanding as we wish. Space too is the same.
