Stumbled into raw food more or less by accident (coincidence?). Long history of energy healing, done all sorts, always interested in new stuff. Raw food just amps that up further, of course. Believe I'm here to create self-improving software (aka, the singularity), at least in a finite space. The clearer I am, the better I can follow my path.
I'm not 100%, and possibly never will be (time will tell), I just try to eat consciously. My existence on this plane depends on what I put into my body - both the obvious physical (food), but also my speech, mental, aural, visual & energetic inputs.
Primarily, I'm trying to live a life, as the ancient Greeks called it, of Areté - a word that means virtue or excellence but has a deeper meaning.. “constantly striving to reach your highest potential.”

Haha, I'm in a small town, so the amount of raw foodists is even smaller. I'm the only student at my college who does it, I'm pretty sure. In town, I only know three people that do it. I only did Aikido for a short while; primarily I did JuJitsu. Have you done other forms of martial arts?
Hi- nice to meet you! Is aikido very big where you are in Australia? And do you have a lot of raw food friends? I don't know about Melbourne, Australia, but Melbourne, FL does not have a very large raw community.
Its great to let go when need be, thats what i find myself doing this year. This year feels different, somehow more real. I'm focused on me for the first time in many years. Focusing on my craft, back in school working on my theatre and film degrees. This year i'm moving from thought to action. Everything from thinking about school to being in school and buying film equipment, thinking about loosing weight to loosing it, moving from loving others to loving myself (or trying to). I hope we can all be consistent with what we want...that is the hardest thing, there are always distractions. I love your little lesson on thoughts...we are not our thoughts. no matter how simply, big, naughty or juvenile we think they are. I had some intense thoughts today but its all good, no worries for me. One thing i've learned from juice feasting is that you just have to let the feelings flow.
I think about your photo..the one of you ice skating every time i pass the ice skating ring (on the pond in bryant park) and i tell myself...yeah Sheryl lets go skate...then i remember that i'm not graceful on the ice as yet and i turn my ass right back around. But this upcoming weekend since its frigid cold i might as well give it another shot. If i fall and the temp is 12 degrees with a 2 degree wind chill i can't won't feel pain...right?!
Happy day Si! It has been so nice talking to you here! You are so enlightened and inspiring. Thank you for spending the time to try to make me a better person. Lots of Love Liz =)
I was curious who CEI was since they are located in Washington DC. They are reported to be a right wing political front group funded by Exxon Mobile and other Big Oil Interests. I find it hard to trust any group advocating public policy changes wh...
A famous philosopher once said every action is intended, only 1% is accident and thats like a plane falling on you in the middle of a field. So I wonder what the motivations are behind these ELITE base ruling parties actions. Money,global dominati...
Paul c,
I know just what you mean. I am amazed by how much I got accomplished in spite of my poor dietary choices in the past. It reminds me the thankful for the body I have and make sure that relationship is always on the up and up.
