Story of Kristen

(Healingtalks) Kristen Peskuski was suffering from juvenile arthritis and other autoimmune inflammatory conditions, including interstitial cystitis and lupus. She was prescribed over 40 different medications and none of which seemed to work. So she tried something novel on her 30th birthday. She began juicing raw cannabis leaves daily, and within two months her pains were gone enough for her to stop taking painkillers.

Amber’s life saved

Amber was diagnosed with terminal brain tumors and was told she had a 10% chance of survival. After surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy all failed, she too tried something different. Months later her tumors decreased in size and number as juicing cannabis leaves saved her life.

Greater healing effects up in smoke

We associate marijuana with psychoactive impacts that only occur when this plant is heated. Used raw, cannabis turns out to be a green healing herb and a painkiller. As the raw food movement has long educated the public about, the heating and cooking of raw greens destroys and/or adulterates their healing properties.

The raw plant, and its THC acid isn’t psychoactive at all. It rather acts as another powerful green detox medicine.

Healthful brain communication

Scientific American, in 2004, published an article called “The Brain’s Own Marijuana” which stated that the brain releases chemicals similar to cannabinoids. THC is the cannabinoid that people are most familiar with, but there are others. It is one of about 80. Cannabinoids help brain communications.

Laws against cannabis

The law that outlawed cannabis claims it has no medical value. This is simply not true. See video below. What the law does is feed the prison industrial complex which is increasingly being privatized for billions in profits. As a result we have the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Four Ways to

Shed Belly Fat

Based on article by Deborah Kotz  http://health.usnews.com

Studies on Belly Fat and Waist Size

(Healingtalks) A study published  in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure indicates that having a large waist siZe ups your risk of heart failure, a condition that’s often fatal. A second study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that exercise doesn’t harm those with heart failure and could actually provide some benefits.

The analysis of the belly fat research, based on data from two Swedish population studies, showed that being overweight or obese increased the risk of heart failure in men but didn’t in women—unless they had a large waist size.

A woman with a normal body mass index of 25 whose waist size increased by 4 inches over the years wound up with a 15 percent greater risk of heart failure than those whose waist sizes remained the same. (A 5-foot, 4-inch woman who weighs 146 pounds has a BMI of 25.) Medical experts recommend that women maintain a waist size of less than 35 inches to reduce their risk of chronic diseases. How to measure your waist size.

Where you carry your fat is largely determined by your genes.  But there are certain things you can do to help redistribute fat away from your belly. Remember excess belly fat is so dangerous

Here are the four ways to keep a fit belly:

1. Exercise to shed that belly fat

You can’t exercise to spot reduce, but it will help you shed excess pounds — and often, the fat your body sheds first comes from your belly. Abdominal crunches can help tone muscles to make your stomach look flatter, but to truly get rid of fat, you have to burn off abdominal fat through aerobic activity.

2. Be a mindful eater

Researchers are currently investigating whether really paying attention to what you eat can help redistribute body fat from your waist to your hips. Plenty of studies, though, have shown that mindful eating can help with weight loss efforts in general. We recommend.moving in the direction of eating mostly fruits and vegetables, thus a vegetarian/vegan diet with mostly whole, raw, living foods.

3. Get adequate amounts of sleep

Too little sleep (less than six hours) or too much (more than eight hours) results in an excess production of the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol promotes the storage of fat in the belly.

4. Reduce stress

Penciling in 15 minutes a day for relaxation can also lower your cortisol levels, helping you shed belly fat. Deep breathing, a stroll outdoors under the blossoming trees, or a bubble bath can help you leave the world behind.

Number One Way to Lose Body Fat – Exercise

If you’re looking for that six-pack physique, you need to expose the abdominal muscles underneath the fat. But can you really lose fat in just one specific area – the abdominals? It’s unlikely, although some strategies may be able to do so a little.

• Exercise is your number one ally in shedding unwanted body fat.
• It helps normalizing your insulin levels.
• It  also helps you sleep better – another important factor not only for optimal overall health but also, as it turns out, for avoiding packing pounds around your midsection.
• I alleviates stress, so that you have less of the hormone cortisol that is connected to producing stomach fat.

Best Exercises For Weightloss

When you’re exercising to achieve weight loss, you’ll want to focus on weight bearing exercises, as muscle burns calories quite efficiently. It has been my experience that non-weight bearing exercises, like swimming and bicycling, are not as efficient or effective for weight loss. You will typically need to exercise four times as long in these activities to receive the same benefit of running, using elliptical machine, or using weights.

Additionally, to really maximize your weight loss efforts, make sure you include high-intensity interval exercises and strength training in your program.

One recent study showed that interval training can significantly enhance your body’s ability to burn fat. In this study, eight women in their early 20s were told to cycle for 10 sets of four minutes of hard riding, followed by two minutes of rest. After two weeks, the amount of fat burned in an hour of continuous moderate cycling increased by 36 percent!

An added boon of interval exercises is that it can radically decrease the amount of time you need to spend exercising.

As far as individual exercises to target your tummy are concerned, sit-ups and abdominal exercises that are associated with breath control mechanisms, such as yoga exercises, can help tighten your abdominal muscles.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that there is no single abdominal exercise that challenges all your abdominal muscles. So you need to perform a variety of exercises that involve the full range of muscles.

Another factor that is often overlooked is your back muscles. Your back helps you hold yourself up and your stomach in, from behind. So having strong back muscles, as well as abs, is essential for a flatter stomach.

Exercise and Diet Go Hand in Hand

The other, equally important, factor in helping you shed excess weight is to consume the most appropriate foods for your specific genetic and biochemistry. Remember, the foods that may be healthy for others are not necessarily healthy for you, and vice-versa. Determining your specific nutritional type is the proven way to ascertain which foods work best for you.

It’s also important to realize that controlling your insulin levels is as important to optimizing your weight as it is to protecting you against diseases like diabetes.

Why?

Because when your insulin levels increase, you are telling your body to store carbohydrates as fat and to not release any of the stored fat. This makes it impossible for you to use your own stored body fat for energy.

So excess refined and processed carbohydrates in your diet (such as breads and pasta) not only make you gain weight, they make sure you keep that weight on. By cutting grains and sugars from your diet, you can significantly improve your chances of successful weight loss.

As far as nutrition to target belly fat specifically, certain dietary fats have actually been found to be helpful in reducing the accumulation of subcutaneous and visceral abdominal fat.

A study published in the journal Diabetes Care in July 2007 found that diets rich in monounsaturated fats prevented the accumulation of both types of belly fat, without additional exercise.

Foods high in monounsaturated fats include:

• Nuts, especially pecans
• Seeds
• Avocados

Dangerous Weightloss Options

Unfortunately, many people simply opt for what appears to be the easiest solution, and when it comes to excess weight around your middle, surgical options like liposuction or treatments such as Lipodissolve are popular alternatives.

However, you need to be aware that there are many risks involved in procedures like these, and they may not give you permanent results.

During a Lipodissolve treatment, a chemical found in lecithin (phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate) is injected into fatty areas such as “love handles” and “bra rolls,” where it dissolves fat cells. But the injectable compound is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and no long-term studies have been conducted on Lipodissolve’s safety.

Among the chief questions about the procedure is where the fat cells go once they are dissolved. Lipodissolve practitioners say the cells are excreted by your body naturally, but no one really knows for sure. According to the FDA, Lipodissolve is a “buyer-beware situation.”

And when it comes to liposuction, a survey of plastic surgeons found that more people die during liposuction than during most other kinds of operations: 19 deaths per 100,000 procedures. Meanwhile the generally accepted death rate for any kind of elective surgery is 1 in 100,000. The most common reported cause of death was pulmonary thromboembolism, or blood clots.

There simply are no better alternatives to a healthy lifestyle if you want a strong and shapely body.

Can You Wake Up to a Flatter Belly?

So, what does proper sleep have to do with a flatter stomach? Researchers have found that all body fat is not created equal, and that holds especially true for belly fat. Abdominal fat has a very rich blood supply and has four times more cortisol receptors than other body fat.

Cortisol is a stress hormone, produced by your adrenal glands in response to stress, but sleeping too little (less than six hours) or too much (more than eight hours) also results in an excess production of cortisol.

The cortisol belly fat connection comes into play when you are under chronic stress, as cortisol tends to store unused fat that has been released by your body in the stress response. Since your belly fat contains large amounts of cortisol receptors, you may tend to gain fat in the abdominal region when you’re chronically stressed or have trouble sleeping properly.

For helpful tips to help you sleep well, please review my 33 secrets to a good night’s sleep. And, to help combat stress — and address any underlying emotional issues that may cause you to lose precious sleep — I highly recommend the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). It’s a simple psychological acupressure technique that is routinely used in my practice that can help you optimize your emotional health.

MY EATING PHILOSOPHY: This philosophy is intended to be as simple as possible as well as intuitive rather than logical.

A  too complicated, pre-determined or rigid and controlled way of eating can and will become unhealthy in and or itself –

despite better intentions.

Unless one is fighting a serious illness or life and death challenge, I prefer to follow a soft, sensitive, gentle and aware of the moment set of principles rather than hard, rough and fast rules. In everyday life we have to also enjoy our food and not just eat solely for an obsession with health. A little leeway thus helps. Also when changing a diet, a rigid approach is far harder to follow innately, and a person is more likely to succeed only in the short run and then fall off the bandwagon thereafter.

For myself I eat mostly all raw and living foods to get an edge in life and pretty close to 100% at home.  Might I indulge in a glass of wine or a sample this or that occassionally. Every once in a while, though rarely and as an escape hatch. I try to have a balance between vegetables and fruits, and in order to elicit life and consciousness  not the conventional targets of “fuel, calories, and  proteins for muscles – as if our body worked like a car, a machine, made up engine-fired metal, hard, rigid parts.

We are living conscious organisms!

As with Lao Tzu and his wisdom, my view of our own bodies is derivative of a much larger alternative view of the 17th century cosmic vision of  a dead/mechanical, tick-tock, universe following the dictates of  the symbols of mathematics. To me it is a dead paradigm full of black holes, which when modern science finds them, it approaches them with vast denial and resistance. A runner may go around a track exactly following all of Newton’s laws of motion. Then his cell phone rings with a call from his or her lover, and the runner turns around, violating all of Newton’s laws. Thus also, and for example, when math-designed chemicals are found to cause cancer, there is intense and belligerent denial that our underlying paradigms are at fault. Chemistry is supposed to create better not worse living. So do we guide cancer patients onto an opposite path, no. We give them yet more drugs and more chemical injections (chemotherapy) on the promise of a cure.

These very same chemicals, of course, that cause cancer. All of this is part of a deep cultural process of paradigm denial – with much at stake, our core worldview – but which eventually must give way to real truths.

Thinking along these lines, for decades now I have consistently veered away from the conventional, crude and deeply unwise, and taproot math-based vision of nature that misguides modern life. This is applied to nature most intimately for us in the healing arts – including for the understanding of nutrition. The common view is therefore that foods are just nothing more than carbohydrates, fats and proteins – all math-defined to the T. They fit again the bankrupt mechanical view of nature.

For me life does not work that way, which is actually obvious. Because I defend and argue for a life-centered vision of nature, it is much more important that foods be living, rather than dead – which is generally accomplished by cooking. Cut living things apart and they die. Thus also highly milled, oxidized, processed foods tend to be dead and decaying.  Why is that so? Because consciousness, at the core of life, is as I have said a thousand and one times – “the universal relationship of connection itself in nature.” So cut foods apart and guess what, the inner consciousness and life leaves.  If we don’t feed ourselves with life forces, we ourselves go a long a path of aging, becoming less conscious and dying. With that in mind here is some simple advice:

AGAIN AVOID RIGIDITY: Machine parts are rigid and the principles that organize the nature of a machine are opposite to those of life. Rigidity is thus anathema to life. Being too rigid even about eating the best of foods, raw and living, is in a sense anti-life.

Listen to your body and its feedback to you, rather than having just one way of eating or one narrow kind of meal plan.

LOVE IT, MAKE IT A JOY – Love what you eat rather than eat because you must. Put different and not overly hot spices in to make it sumptuous and wonderful for the palate and beautiful for the eye. Turn on some soothing, calming music with your meal.

TIMES OF MEALS: I think of myself as eating a couple of meals a day, when stirred to, and then snacking for the rest of the time to keep up my energy and blood sugar up and about even. I nibble a little here and there. I satisfy my buds and urgings.

SIMPLE MEALS  AND SNACKS: If there are too many, large-portioned ingredients in a meal, the bodies digestive enzymes get confused. Healing is a bringing to oneness, so an inordinate amount of complexity does not help the healing processes. If you mix a grain meal with fruits, there is a tendency to ferment. If you eat two heavy proteins at a meal, neither may digest well. If you drink too much fluid with a meal, your digestive enzymes may be diluted. You know you’ve done something not just right if a meal gives gas.

KITCHEN TOOLS – Use greatest kitchen tools of the trade, the best juicers, blenders, dehydrators and the like to make meals easy to prepare.

ROTATIONS AND VARIETY: Foods sometimes have natural inhibitors and lower energy organisms embedded – like bacteria and fungus. Our bodies, with a healthy immune system, can usually handle these if given an opportunity to wage one battle at a time. This applies especially to fruits because of the high sugar content that easily feeds lower life forms. Thus I snack often on simple fruits and rotate them from day to day to avoid infections and allergic reactions. I also cut up the fruits into small pieces and often put them into the dehydrator to nibble a little at a time.

RAW, ORGANIC, WHOLE, ALKALINE, NUTRIENT-DENSE, VEGAN LIVING, LOCAL, IN-SEASON: My preference is for foods that are local, organic, whole, living (sprouted or soaked), more alkaline and in season. I avoid animal products except occasionally honey. Some like fish-oil for health but this involves more violence to nature if the fish are killed in the process. I am not totally rigid on this or anything else, but follow such guidelines as a preponderance. See my many blogs on the benefits of a vegan diet. The China Study was conclusive, gathering data from millions of Chinese, and supported by animal studies, all pointing out an eventual harm of an even minor flesh-based diet. For a chart of the most nutrient-dense foods, see the work of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Avoid processed, milled, irradiated, chemicalized and otherwise made unwhole foods.

VEGETABLES & FRUITS, PLUS: Fruits and veggies  form the foundation of my diet – and in various forms – salads, blends, juices, dried concoctions, sauces and so on. Next comes some spices in moderation and a bit of nuts, seeds, and legumes – and not too much of the latter because they are quite heavy or concentrated, as well as relatively acid foods that certainly need to be broken down to enter our fluid bloodstream. The life force within us is more simple, diffuse, flowing and full of light.

HYDRATION: Life travels in our fluids and thus is extracted best from water-rich fruits and vegetables and via their juices. Sometimes I drink them straight and at other times diluted and with spices and/or super-food powders. In the winter I especially like to add something warmer or hot, hot spices and hot water poured over raw ingredients, especially seaweed and veggies in soups.

Those are some of my most basic guiding principles. All the rest seems to fall into line.

CHLOROPHYLL AND HEMOGLOBIN
Benefits of making green smoothies are multiple. As pictured above let the base we some kind of greens to end up with the most healing of liquids. Green chlorophyll blends are supreme because chlorophyll has a chemical structure very close to hemoglobin and tends to both oxygenate and detoxify our bloodstream, thus increasing overall health.

SECRET FOR TASTY GREEN SMOOTHIE
Our green recipes tend to have a combination of five flavors to make them optimally delicious. These flavors include:

Sweet – fruit (such as the strawberries pictured above). You can also include low-sugar tomatoes and peppers which are technically fruit, as well as carrots and beets
Sour – lemon, lime
Salty – celery, sea salt, dulse or other seaweeds
Hot - cayenne, pepper, and jalapeno peppers
Savory – ginger, garlic, basil, curry and other ethnic spices

GREENS FOR HEALTH
For the most healthy recipes  use primarily green vegetables such as lettuce, celery, cucumber, Swiss chard, cabbage, collards, parsley and kale. These are the most nutrient-dense foods for a juice or blended diet. We know this thanks to research of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Also include wheatgrass and bok choy. Use your ingenuity to make at least an 8 ounce smoothie. Add the whole food to your blender. We use a super-effective Vitamix. Drink and enjoy your  living foods blend as soon after you make it as possible. If you are storing for later use, add a tablespoon of vitamin C powder or lots of lemon and lime. Put this into an airtight glass container as often used in canning. Bring this several times a day and you will feel much better  – given the intense nutrients and powerful detox effects

FEELING SUPER-GREAT
Otherwise drink one or more green smoothies every day in order to feel super-great!

Here is still another prescription for a form of water therapy to help heal and re-enliven the entire body. You can add this protocol to the use of saunas, enemas, colonics, homeopathy, living foods, and so on – all of which involve a form of hydrotherapy. Here we explore a deeply alkalizing detox bath.

PRESCRIPTION – PREPARATION
Take the following
1 cup of Epsom Salts
1 cup of sea, Celtic or Himalayan salt
1 cup of baking soda.

Mix the ingredients together and keep them in a sealed mason jar. Ideally get yourself a relax FIR sauna and do a 15-30 minute session. All the while fill the bath with comfortably warm water and add 1/4 of the mixture. Relax in the bath for about half an hour.

IN BETWEEN – TREAT YOURSELF ROYALLY
Always treat yourself royally. While in the bath, consider sipping a green juice with a little lemon and some mint or your favorite organic herb tea. Read some poetry.

AFTERWARDS – BASK IN THE DETOX
Then rap yourself in a warm towel or comfortable robe for another 20 minutes. This will help draw out toxins from your system systemically and leave you feeling awesomely refreshed and renewed.

RAW LIFE WISDOM

SHIFT
Raw life wisdom  or life wisdom in the raw offers a revolutionary view of the world of nature, shifting from the mechanical, machine-like or dead vision to an oppositely life-centered understanding.

BUT LIFE IS RARE
Of course life manifesting as sentient or aware organisms is quite rare in our universe. How can what is rare represent the essence of nature universally permeating? Isn’t that a contradiction? The aim here is to arrive at possible answers to such questions, and then offer to use that knowledge to turn around our major planetary ecological, social and health crises.

RAW-WISDOM
This also involves a certain pun in using the term “raw.” We advocate a raw-living foods diet as a result of a life-centered vision. However the “raw” view first refers to how our right brain sees naked of “conceptual illusions.

LEFT BRAIN CONCEPTUAL VIEW
The left brain view of reality is the conceptual. ” Concepts are outline images that help us separate something out in our awareness. For example, we might be walking down a street and all the while  have a concept of a “building with red wood trim” in mind. We survey the different buildings and find one that fits our image. We then focus on it. This focusing is a separating out of an element of consciousness. Next we might have the concept of a sidewalk. So we focus on what is beneath our feet. Concepts focus attention using outline images. A line in an outline forms a visual separation. If we strip the mind of all its concepts, its mental separations, we no longer focus in a separative or isolated-elements way. This takes us to the right-brain dominant way of experiencing our consciousness – as an indivisible ocean.

“SURFACE ILLUSIONARY“
Why might the conceptually-driven or left-brain dominant view be “surface illusionary”?  This is because it is akin to diving into an ocean  and thereby creating walls of water that did not pre-exit. We experience a created consciousness reality rather than a naked or raw one!

PARTLY REAL
In the surface or moment of time these created perceptions exist. They are real. But they tend to obliterate raw experience or cover over what is naked. For example in Nazi Germany a Jew was considered to be like a rat, worthy to be exterminated. But in raw experience Jews don’t look like rats. It is a conceptual imposition, an ideology, and thus a created illusion.

THE ISSUE OF DOMINATION
In general our left-brain mode of consciousness is separative and the right brain connective. We can allow the latter to dominate when we focus on (separate out) something in order to connect to it. For example, we dial a phone number  in order to find (focus attention on) someone. Ultimately this is in order to connect with them, and possibly to shower them with love. Or we might subject them to hatred. The former is  more consciousness-connective and the later consciousness-separative. Because mathematics abstracts how to separate all elements of consciousness, it is the highest left-brain symbolism used to potentially organize a worldview.

USES OF MATHEMATICS
The question then arises: shall we use such a math-constructed vision of nature in a dominantly-separative or subserviently-connective way? With the former choice, we gravitate to an atomic, math-based understanding as in physics and chemistry - which allows us to build atomic weapons and the means for chemical pollution – or is it a better life through chemistry? With a non-conventional approach, we use mathematics consciously and wisely. For example, with a thermometer we measure the departure form a temperature representing a state of balance, such as 98.6 Fahrenheit. This separative knowledge is used for a reversal, a return of the body temperature to a state of balance. We use a separate measurement in order to connect to wholeness and healing.

DOUBLE NEGATIVE
The above refers to  a double negation that creates a positive. Because opposites are reversible in a wholistic understanding, the mathematical orientation can be used invaluably but  subserviently. Otherwise there are vast destructive potentials when used dominantly and without oversight.

Raw wisdom is a revolutionary view of the essence of nature, shifting from the mechanical, machine-like and dead view to an oppositely life-centered vision – and to turnaround our major planetary ecological, social and health crises.  It also involves a certain “pun” in using the term “raw.”

RAW-WISDOM
First the “raw” view refers to how our right brain sees naked of conceptual illusions. What is sees is an ocean of consciousness, the opposite of the left-brain separative view that gravitates to an atomic, mathematical understanding. Bertram Russell once contrasted this with two metaphors – the pain of molasses and the pail of sand vision of nature. Which is more true.

What I have discovered is that the surface appearance view or “maya” supports the separative, left-brain dominant kind of vision  while a depth-perceptive right-brain dominant view is the oppositely more connective view.   Our alternative use of the term “raw” is thus explained below and in this context.

ROLE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Let me first say that the single greatest discovery of my entire life, spanning more than half a century, has been simply the understanding that what we experience as “consciousness” is really a tapping into a universal relationship of connection in nature, and this also forms nature’s core essence – its true “soul.” It also forms nature’s real rather than surface-illusionary laws. This is also the” molasses view” in contrast to the “pail of sand” view of nature. This differs profoundly from the mathematical orientation of physics and chemistry or we are all brought up with an yielding the centrality of an atomic focus. Because mathematics represents the “universal symbols for the separation of all forms of consciousness,” it really makes no rational sense to construct our dominant vision of nature out of mathematical patterns  because laws are intended to connect and not separate profoundly our understanding of the fabric of events. Real causality is what deeply connects not separates events, why billiard ball mechanical laws do not describe depth-causality in nature. Sorry, Galileo and Newton, by in my experience you got it all wrong! What we think is the sanest of sane views, is actually not very sane. That we later pollute our world and create threatening atomic weapons should not come as a surprise.

RAW LIFE WISDOM
Secondly because the concentrated presence of consciousness forms life, bringing out what is life and from the bosom of nature  and rather than bringing out – so-called “discovering” the mechanical and thereby designing and creating machines or factory-farming, etc) is a critical choice we can make.  Here we can note that the term “raw” in the natural healing arts is often associated with living foods, and raw-wisdom is thus all about a raw life-centered as well as a raw or ideologically naked vision of nature – explaining  finally the dual punning use of the term “raw.”

Because of enzymes in raw foods

I have great respect for Ann Wigmore, one of the founders of the raw food movement. Among the things she advocated was that we should eat a living foods diet primarily for their  life-enhancing enzymes. Get your daily dose of enzymes was the rallying cry. These enzymes aide digestion. They also speed up countless chemical reactions in our body. If you heat a food over 110 degrees, most of the enzymes tend to die.

Because of “life” in raw foods

Here I will argue that what is “life” in our food is not reducible to any chemical formula of elements, reactions, principles or enhancers. The reason why is explained below.

Not reducible to what’s math-defined

In my opinion and contrary to what we are all taught, math symbols are not infallible and objective tools for discovering the core essence of nature  – which represents a 17th century ideology that has fervently taken root . Why?

This is simply because math symbols  point (all symbols are but pointing tools) to universal relationships of separation in our consciousness. When we count two objects they must be separate to be able to count them. However, we cannot effectively connect a vision of nature with these penultimate symbols of separation because that represents a cosmic-in-scope contradiction. It is a contradiction at the core of our vision of nature.

Who is logical and who is illogical

Illogical vision of nature

It is absolutely not logical or logically possible. It is not a wise vision as a result – and universal acceptance and teaching of that vision doesn’t make it wise or true. It just shows how foolish we remain.  It shows how absorbed we are in a cultural illusion that is thousands of years old. The math-bound vision is no doubt profoundly powerful for technological constructs, but on a deeper level is, in my opinion, a very failed and failing view of nature’s core. Now imagine that the essence of what indeed forms “life” in nature is the presence of what we experience every day as consciousness – and that consciousness rather forms this universal connective relationship in nature. It is what subliminally math-bound philosophers sought to discover, but with the wrong symbolism,  Math symbols are a poor choice for this purpose because they abstract consciousness separations.

Thus a false guiding vision of nature

What I am trying to convey, to those whose minds are not closed to new and paradigm-busting ideas, is that our dominant vision of a nature’s essence is a false view (as to nature’s depths and not its surface appearance). It is also a hazardous cultural construct. The fruits of that construct, in my experience, ultimately harm nature’s essence in ourselves and around us. I know these are shocking statements and either I am completely whacked out (as some will believe), or as a former math prodigy I am trying to convey something much more advanced – whether the general public is as yet ready to hear it or not.  In fact, our whole ideological focus in the modern world about nature ‘s essence is really clashing and threatening to unravel the whole web of life.

Polluting reality manifests from inside to outside

Again this is precisely what is happening in our modern world, and many of my blog posts go into details. The global and growing pollution of our soil, air, water, food supply, interior fluids – all within just a hundred years of the mass application of this vision – is the mounting reality-evidence. Something is obviously going very wrong and we must stop thinking that we are just victims when in fact we are the real creators of what we reap.

What to do and not to do with mathematics

So imagine that math symbols should not be used to form a dominant guide to our consciousness of nature but rather subserviently – that is subservient to an integrally connective (right-brain-dominant) orientation to all of nature. It is again impossible to have an integrally connective or integrally conscious view using the most separative of all symbols as revered inner idols or symbolic God-like guides. For example, let us take the use of a phone number in daily life. It helps us to target (separate-out), focus towards, tag or find someone to then connect with them. This is different than using math symbols in the more dominantly “separative ways” – which physics and chemistry routinely and supremely masters.  An extreme result – virtually predictable as the materialization of Descartes’ 17th century vision,  is the designing and bringing into being of atomic or nuclear weapons.

How atom bombs came to be from inside out

What we visualize inside of us we then “materialize” or create in the outer world.

Underlying the formulas of Dr. Fehmi for creating atomic bombs were Cartesian coordinates – the radical mathematization or separation (and therefore explosion) of space.

Another consequence is the growing pollution and harm to all of life on earth due to the proliferation of what has been math-designed or brought-into-being synthetic chemicals. Of course we are taught that following the math-bound trail is just a matter of objectivity rather than ideology. It supposedly liberates us to discover nature’s “true objective” laws and we look then at the creation of math-designed, mechanical technologies as undeniable proof.  But let us look instead at all of nature, mechanical and non-mechanical, including the overall impact on life!

Mechanical philosophy of nature’s impact on life

To test the underlying entirely of the math-stuck view (rather than one chemical in isolation so as to later market a profitable product) let us take a very random and large mix of chemicals to test the whole of the philosophy/ideology of chemistry and throw them into a living environment (such as a garden or compost heap) and what happens?

All of life, yes all of life dies and for a predictable, knowable and even stupidly obvious reasons.

The underlying order, the mathematical, clashes with the very essence of what is life and consciousness in nature. That is why life considers anything mechanical as anathema. We innately hate doing mechanical chores or creations. We loath working in mechanical, assembly-line factories if indeed we have a choice about it.

Species going extinct

Organic life

Math-designed things are usually made of separate parts (interchangeable machine parts).  Organic life does not function in a mechanical or separate-parts way. Life operates on opposite principles and thus violates everyone one of Newton’s mechanical, so-called universal laws of nature. Cut a living organism apart and try to put the pieces of an organism back together (like a machine) and the living organism dies! Progressively apply such principles and species all over the planet begin to become extinct.

Opposite principles

What organizes a machine (principles that are mechanical/mathematical/unconscious/separative) and what organizes a living things(principles that re non-mechanical, non-mathematical, non-separative) is very much not the same – and to reduce one to the other can be and is devastating to nature. In fact the two core principles are exact polar opposites. Exact polar opposites! To again force the world of nature to fit the mechanical model is pretty insanely stupid and yet commonplace. It is worse than stupid. It is essentially unconscious, especially of what are headed towards globally. It has disastrous consequences both within our being and without in our environment. A “within consequence” is growing consciousness ailments like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s all going rampant.

A root vision of nature  that so very foolishly is bond to a dangerous vision undercuts our collective evolution. If we only understand the machine-like order in nature, rather than life and consciousness, there has to be huge consequences. Ultimately a vision of nature whose essence is in direct opposition to the core principles of life will undermine, destroy, or annihilate life – and the compost heap is a microcosm of the potential macro-effect. This again is exactly what is, in my understanding, happening in our very, very challenged world. This is why we have a reacting environmental movement. This is why we have a reacting  natural healing movement.

Again this is why we are experiencing alarming extinction rates that are unprecedented and in every corner of the planet.

Consciousness at the Root of Life

There are profoundly and deep reasons why all of this is happening non-accidentally. Consciousness, at the root of life, forms a distinctly and potentially universal relationship of connection. This is again the exact opposite of what math principles point to via the culturally-learned doctrines of physics, chemistry, and biotechnology of our times.

Living Organisms

Living organisms bring out of nature its life and consciousness. Machines bring out an opposite order of dead and unconsciousness. Machines rather model the mathematical perspective or represent its bias-ideology creations.  The two can compliment each other, but not when the math-bound view is dominant. What is most separative has the potential to destroy what is most connective in nature, life.  When we thus cut any whole food or living thing apart , aliveness and consciousness is lost. For that reason it is a HUGE and bungling intellectual goof to reduce life to just mechanical principles as physics and chemistry, and more recently biotechnology does. These are the very principles whose universal applications are again what is most threatening life on earth.

The resulting advent of atomic weapons are but a single example. There are many more

Detoxing the Inner World

It is not accidental, for example, that Alzheimer’s patients (those who receive multiple drugs that are math-designed) routinely walk the halls of nursing homes like unconscious, consciousness-depleted zombies. We are told that some new chemical wonder cure is just around the corner!  We really fool ourselves tremendously in believing this, derivative of the same core ideology of nature, underlying allopathic medicine.  We need a completely different, more enlightened understanding of nature and guidance for the healing of ourselves. We need to know exactly how to raise the consciousness of those who have fallen – and ingesting math-designed pills will predictably lower, damage, or expunge consciousness.

Detoxification is more in order, taking out and not putting in synthetic chemicals. Tell that to the chief physician at a nursing home! More importantly we need to crow-bar ourselves out of the  entrenched and underlying root ideology that creates all such a vast mismanagement of the healing processes of life. When also our inner visions are detoxed and healed, then physical healing will manifest more integrally – and surface manifestations of pollution will disappear in tandem.

The deeper pollution is always in our mind’s visions, understanding,  spirits, souls, or consciousness. It is the non-physical pollution of awareness within that creates the surface manifestations.

Why Turn to a Raw Living Foods Diet to Heal

As part of a revolutionary life-centered vision of nature we can thus turn to some new means to bring living forces out of latency in our bodies. We also want to bring life out of  nature’s bosom all around us as well. One way to do this within, or for ourselves, is via learning to adopt a  living and whole-organic food diet. It is a royal and wonderful and reliable means to heal.

With due respects to Ann Wigmore, this offers a  non-reductionist and a life and consciousness-centered reason for adopting the raw or living food lifestyle.

Enzymes speed chemical reactions. Tying this chemical perspective to the chief rationale for adopting a living foods diet is a huge mistake that is part of the larger insanity of look at the cosmos mechanically. This is similar to explaining why the same raw food diet reverses diabetes due to enhancing genetic expressions. The gene model is actually at the heart of the mechanical worldview applied to biology or to all of life’s organic manifestations.

Conclusion

We turn to the raw food diet in order to elicit life and consciousness, and thus connective healing.
