All In

    As I listen to the new Radiohead album I'm reminded of my own innate qualities. I'm a Scorpio that's also half-Italian. I feel that predisposes me to a lot of intense passion. Sometimes it manifests in a positive way, other times not so much. Raw Veganism has only widened the spectrum. I don't want to see auras or anything like that, but I definitely feel a deeper connection to all things living. I can read people easier. Not judge them, that's not what I'm about. Though I'm quick to share my thoughts, people can take it or leave it. If they leave it, they leave me. I AM my thoughts, words, and actions. A communal consciousness is within our power. We have so much power, and we give it away every day. We can all be a vehicle for change and a greater good. We need each other.
    I seem to be settling into a good place as far as diet goes. Fruits and greens in the morning and fats in the evening. I'm still maintaining a 90% Raw diet but am considering going the full monty. All in, 100% Raw Vegan, all the time. Coffee is gone as well. The only time I eat anything cooked is when we go out to a restaurant. I had a coconut curry last night with veggies and jasmine rice. Before I got home, my ears were filling with fluid and my sinuses were getting clogged with mucas. I skipped the tofu and still had this problem. Most places serve GMO crap with hydrogenated oils and I'm fucking sick of it. I don't feel this is an allergy as much as a refining of my digestive system. I never noticed it when my gut was loaded down with gluten and old toxins. But now it's in and out within a day. My system is clean and I intend on keeping that way. I just passed the three month mark and there's no going back now. I feel great!

  1. I am so proud of you Eric! I have the same experiences. I ate vegetables out the other night when I went to a performance by a friend--singer/songwriter--and I felt awful the next day. I'm betting canned vegetables and/or really bad seasonings. Yesterday I juiced all day except for a very small amount of dehydrated seasoned sunflower seeds. I dehydrated parsley and cilantro and tomatoes. I prefer to live in my Raw Vegan world. I wish it was more an "OUR" Raw Vegan world but as long as there is greed, there will be organizations feeding off and promoting the addictions of our society. They will even try to corrupt the Raw world with fake stuff and we have to be vigilant--buy organic local as much as possible. Stay away from the big corporations. Even at places like Whole Foods.

    Today is a Raw Food Potluck about 30 miles away. I wish I had the fortitude to get there...to be around others who feel the way I do. I've got a ways to go still...

    You inspire me. Keep on!

  2. Sue, you are one of the sweetest people I've come across in a long time. Thank you so much for the kind words. YOU inspire me! It IS "our world." We just have to keep up the good fight. As we move into the age of Aquarius we will transition away from an old paradigm into a new consciousness. Enjoy the ride!
