Philosophy of Linking Nutrition To Raising Consciousness
Befoer getting into my raw living food recipe for a dehydrated salad, let me say a few words on my overall philosophy for using nutrition to heal. There are many paths to optimal healing. Nutrition is a major one. We have a choice to focus on any and all major forms of healing – of our consciousness, mind, emotions, body, relationships immediate others, society and our planet. In each venue healing is really a process of reconnection to wholeness. This especially applies to foods, and has something to do with why we prefer whole foods. Now imagine that underlying everything in our universe there is consciousness as the unseen schemata that connects everything as a whole. When we heal, therefore, we simultaneously raise our consciousness or our connectedness within and without. Each person’s approach to nutrition or diet, however, has developed somewhat from the outside in, from an upbringing and the influence of their culture. Few emphasize or are aware of the link between nutrition and raising consciousness. Eating habits also become ingrained, as a matter of habit and comfort, and thus are quite difficult. My experience has been that the raw and living vegan food diet, along with other approaches (such as alternating nutrition with detoxification) will best support an evolving of one’s consciousness. To explain the rationale really would involve explaining a entirely different model of nature. That model is a life-and-consciousness centered vision of nature (rather than matter, energy, atoms) are central. But that discussion in is other posts and here would take us far afield.
Busy Making A New Recipe in My Kitchen
I am excited that tomorrow there is a pot luck get-together locally. See Albany, NY meetup. Thus I was putting together a recipe to bring to this event. I truly feel it is important to network with others, to connect with those who share this approach. And so I thought why not also share this recipe with my blog readers. In my raw kitchen, the stove becomes largely defunct except for the heating of water to pour over some raw soup ingredients or to make other warm and soothing drinks, especially in the winter. Instead I use the juicer, bender, food processor and dehydrator as my primary appliances. We may also have some special kitchen tools, like a little gadget to shed vegetables in a way as to mock spaghetti.
Raw Dehydrated Salad
My recipes are often a combination of pre-planning, having a certain idea in mind and shopping for those ingredients, plus adding what ever is left over in the frig – I am not ashamed to admit because this is a creative process that proceeds in the moment, moments of culinary inspiration. So here is the yummy raw and living food recipe to raise healing vibes which I concocted:
Main Ingredients:
2 Bunches Kale Leaves (removed from stems & broken into smaller pieces)
1 Head Cauliflower
1 Head Broccoli
2 Leaks (or one if you want less of an onion taste)
2 tablespoons Hemp Oil
2 tablespoons Almond Oil
6 heaping
tablespoons Raw Almond Butter
Added Seasoning
3 teaspoons Tuscan Sea Salt (full of added spices)
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Miso-Cup (freeze-dried soup mix)
pinch Oregano
pinch Caribbean Spice Mix
Garnish
Edible flowers or whatever makes the dish savoring to the eyes.
Simple Instructions
Putting all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix and massage them together with loving vibrations. I further add an optional quart of water and save the water for a latter healing drink. Lastly put all the mixed ingredients into the dehydrator, put it on a low setting like 95-100 and for just a few hours so as not to fully dry. Then you gotta-u-self a most yummy treat. My palate was later in Nirvana.

BECAUSE OF ENZYMES IN RAW FOODS?
Do we love the raw food diet because of enzymes in the food? I have great respect for Ann Wigmore, one of the founders of the raw food movement who advocated that we should eat a living foods diet due to their life-enhancing enzymes. Get your daily dose of enzymes was the rallying cry. These enzymes will 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. On the surface, this sounds great. However, there is a problem with this neat rationale. It actually reinforces a dominant mechanical view of nature (if enzymes are chemically-defined) and one that is, as I would claim, a guiding belief that is actually the chief cause of the destruction of life all over our planet!

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

Diet and Nutrition, Diet Plans & Diaries, HEALING US, Organic Foods
(Healingtalks) There once was time when a person could eat without much thought or worry. Knowing that whatever food was put on our plates either grew naturally from the ground or roamed the earth, flew in the sky or swum in the seas freely. But unfortunately times have changed.
Man has dramatically changed our natural surroundings including the food we eat. What we now perceive as food is either a clone or a fabrication of what was once real. The number of chemicals injected into our foods seems to be forever increasing and it is becoming a lot harder to find whole organic foods, which is now more costly than in times past!
About 10,000 chemicals are used in food processing and storage, and 3,000 directly in our foods! Furthermore, we have the added lethal “bonus” of genetically modified ingredients which are not labeled! This is not only an insult to our very own intelligent but it is also an assault on our physical and spiritual beings as well. In other words, the food industries have secretly declared war on all people.
This was the result of some secret and private meetings between executives of Monsanto and the prior Bush administration. A campaign was started to sell the world public on the false idea that genetically-modified foods are “essentially equivalent to regular foods.” The diametrical opposite is so. Never has there been a more radical change to our common food supply, plus this is systematically hidden from the public. When a fish gene is spliced into a tomato, or a worm gene into an apple, something is more than fundamentally wrong.
The process is also violent, using a gene gun that violates the conscious and aliveness of genetic membranes. It’s time to call a spade a spade. The food that we often find in the super market, have been molested, genetically speaking. Perverted thugs who run companies like Monsanto have found a way to molest our food and genetically rape it. They leave our food void of fresh, innocent and vibrant life while inserting their own poisons into the very food we eat.
This is the reason that we are sick as a nation. Not just in the U.S, but this is a world wide phenomenon. The end “food” products turn out to be predictably harmful to our environment and our bodies. 2/3rds of supermarket foods are now ripe with genetically-modified food ingredients?
These GMO “foods” first hit the market in the early 1990s. This was thanks to no real safety testing or regulatory oversight or labeling. What can the consumer do in self-defense?
In your buying choices, we must also support those organic farmers who have integrity, who care for us, who are not polluting the earth or ultimately our bodies and that of our children for generations just to reap short-sighted profits.
There is only one way to go, go organic!
