Raw Food Forums

*********************************************************************************

starting a new topic/thread here today...

i'm going sort of 80/10/10 (with crude chocolate beans perhaps he-he) diet for 92 days hey...

the time is right for a new challenge-change, today 1st of March and many people begin J-Feasting on the Globe, i feel amazed about it and will parallel-challenge myself on 'Fruits and Greens on Low or No-Fats' .... organic gardening, banana lifting, it. language teaching , all jobs out there are requiring many more calories for me a the moment - a sense of lightness is filling my being already after countless days of JF last year and life...!
i feel blessed to live on 100 Raw Foods, to live organic and to be in the Center of this Life, in the Center of the Heart, in the Center of the Road when i meet other amazing souls, brothers and sister who dream the same in Life, living simpler, loving the Creator and Creation, respecting the Gift of Life and Dreaming the Dream they are meant to be...

Messages from the Universe descending...

to the Core of my Being directing...

i feel one with the Sound of the Line-Earth...

with the Sound of the Light-Wave speaking to/our Heart...

I feel one with Water, Earth, Wind, Fire...

no Doubt or Fear is able to touch me, I see...

when I am One with the Light...

I am One...

I feel and see...

ONE

(trying to describe what happens when you meet magical beings)

Lets start today,,,, FRUIT AND GREENS - 92 days of it...

LOVE, PEACE, FREEDOM
 

Enjoy No-Frontiers. I look forward to seeing your progress.

xoxoxo

thanks Jen, will posting here:

today i had a couple of small ladyfingers... 2-3 of em, then went to farmers market and got 2kg of org. Stanthorpe apples for the next days, 1 pear and 3 plums also just for taste... plus a kilo of lychees...

i love the taste and simple nature of apples lately much more again, living in this Tropical Paradise i havent eaten much of em so i was so delighted again when a couple of days ago i eat a juicy apple...

where i'm coming from they grow masses of apples, grapes and other stonefruits... organic is a growing minority yet and the fruits are exported in many countries of Europe with a special trade mark -- quality sign... the extreme temperature changes of day/night add a special flavour to the fruits...

feeling fine today... not high... not down... would say stabilized...
my body seems to ask only little amounts of fruit for the while, probably in the phase of entering/adjusting to this level of being...

im excited actually... lets see how is going...

Greetings
 

have been eating abundance of fruits all troughout the day and big-big salads for dinner on a low-fat 811 guideline  -- feeling great in last 12 days...--

good and 'ungood' symptoms are so far:

- less emotional attachment thanks to simpler meals and shorter time to get it in, prepare and clean 
- wich translates to:-... -spending more time in fresh air, sun, nature
- better sleep and dreams during the night (unregulary altough)
- chakras are moving faster hey
-  detox symptoms coming and going with up and downs but em quite steadfast and know whats right for me.....
- sometimes my mind just goes 'crazy' (maybe the sugars? :laugh:) but sometimes everything is soo 'clear' and 'connected'
- more strenght and endurance during work...

this are just a few points,...

lately so many different (good and good) things happened but i have to find center more and eat more regulary - only when really hungry... will get there anyway...

currently i'm working on a banana farm a couple of days a week (in a nice valley) and getting free boxes of exquisite bananas (not organic but spray free and in conversion) for 'nothing'...

so indulging in bananas is great when i need energy but sometimes even the hard work humping, desacking or brushcutting in the farm doesnt make me 'sweat' that lunch...

my body asks me to get more juicy fruits and apples for examples are my favourite right now... when i eat mono-apple i feel so light , connected and 'clear'... working towards this sense of awareness in mind is my GOAL...

evening i eat big-big salads of greens: 1/2 lettuce, rocket, baby spinach, dandelions, other greens and tomatoes, cucumbers, alfalfa sprouts, with a dressing of 1/2 zucchini, 1/2 red bell pepper, heaps basil, 1/2 cup sesame seeds (i guess is still to much all the seeds on 811?? have to order the book -- ie. bring the page with details and pay per bank transfer Jennie this or next week :uhuh:)

since i eat more fruits and low fat without salt i feel like a goat when it comes to have dinner...  :laugh:
literally chunking down massive quantities of 'greens' like never before and feeling great...
will intuitevely try making succulent 811 salad recipes+dressing the more i go ahead...

what else can i say:

mmh... keeping the goals in mind is important right now...

-having a clear mind , emotional dettachment
-stay lighter and connected
-make more exercise to earn the 'food'
-maybe introduce some 'superfoods' for better digestion as Jim said...

i had some chocolate beans (have never been a cholocate junkie) and felt great btw...

so chocolate for me is not an issue, no-salt and low-fat a great discovery right now...

Persistence, Patience and Perseverance ... the 3 P... to remember...

natures foods served in natures packages are the best digestion foods. nothing beats the mono juicy fruit meal for digestive ease. half a cup of seaseme seeds for me would have me calling in a jackhammer to break up the intestinal seaseme cement! lol! fresh nuts off the ground in season digest a lot better if one is seeking nut'rition.

getting in the sweet fruit calories whilst we are working/training hard is key to being successful on this way of life. undereating fresh fruits whilst doing a workload will just put a person back on cooked food and or animal products.

we are like a train on the track..we must continue to place down new track (sufficient fresh fruits and tender shoots) or faced derailment..lol!

get the book..its the most comprehensive guide to succeeding on living foods. no other program has the success rate. ive never met a fit looking long term gourmet raw fooder that is 100% rv. pizzas and choc cakes are fun foods for the transition to full time rawness...fruits and veg must form the staples. its natures way.

a jackhammer hey?!... was feeling 'bit' heavier evenings... LOL

more seriously i counted the amount and it comes up to 4 TBSP...
did cut back to 3, but will go on 1-2 to keep lightness and help detox...right!?
what about 1 of sesame grinded, 1 of sunflower soaked...?
we have sweet, fresh Macadamias falling from the tree on the farm i work... thats great...
will order definetly the book cause this helps for inspiration and understanding the whole concept,
and keep the train on the right track, thats sure...!

Love and thanks....
IV

What more can be said Harls...each will discover this in their own time and way.


Love BB

day 15 and i ''keep going upwards with up and downs!...''
 
had some 'amazing dreams' last night, perceptions - all in all to me it seems to work so good and i'm in tune with my body so much, getting more there -- harmonizing, understanding better day by day...

one thing is clear -- and i wonder why its seldom mentioned by 811ers...---: the 'spiritual aspect'... as i feel the Kundalini arising easy - transforming with less need of meditation technique or whatever.... just bit of yoga and work, exercise..., little meditation - centering, thats all...

daily intake with mostly fruits like bananas, mangoes, raisins, dates, apples... some pineapples, guavas, dragonfruit and grapes here and there... bananas is great when i'm feeling hungry and i try to have always some celery in my hand to hydrate and mineralize....

the evening salad consist of large amounts of greens + wild edibles, all sorts of vegetables and some seeds (less nuts...) with yummy dressing and squezzed lime...

at the Market today i asked a 'raw 80/10/10 friend' (that knows Harley) -- how much seeds he has and reply was something like 1/4 of cup hey... so if two person are eating 'like in my case' a half a cup is alright, or 1/4 cup and half avocado also works...
i seldom have avocado lately, only max 2-3 per week and really thiny small...

i've got to run back to the farmers market right now as i left my wallet by the veggie seller,, bought some tomatoes and lebanese capsicum argh!...

this Sunday i'm joining some people playing soccer 'for fun'... i'm 1/2 italian (1/2 Universe) and grew up on soccer... lets see how im going after so many years kicking a ball!!

today as always a beautiful day...
All Love,
Ivan

p.s.
Berry Bliss your carrot-cake looks really tempting btw!!....altough for the moment i'm really,really craving for more 'lightness'...

Happiness&Joy

1/2 Italian, 1/2 universe.  rofl  You funny man Iv!

xoxoxxo

I love your posts!

You are doing great!

I'm making the move to 808010-type eating along with you and also haven't read the book. It just makes sense to me and feels right. Yesterday I ate a big bowl of rocket plain! This was a breakthrough to me because I usually assume I don't like it plain. Then dinner was lettuce, rocket and tomatoes with hempseed oil and this seemed very gourmet! Simplify, simplify, simplify...

You reminded me of a dream I had a few weeks ago...
I was in a beautiful place with some other people and called my partner over to see the view I had where I was standing. He completely ignored me and I realised the view was just as beautiful from where he was!

Much warmth to you on your exciting journey/adventure!

i really liked that jungle!

hey ivan can you tell me more about the kundilini rising??

was making some mowing&gardening in a beautiful place called the 'AMAZING VIEWS' lately Jungle...
'having good view' is so important in life ; as we see things better we can proced easier and find our destination ultimately, break trough...

thanks for your beautiful words, energy and warmth here... really appreciate to walk this way parallel to you, your an amazing, gentle, giving soul... thanks...!

as for the Kundalini question Les its seems that my 'sexual energy' has less need to be mastered, directed since on 811 (speaking openly about 'i'm getting celibate')... there are different ways to use the Kundalini force and 'sex' is only one of the many options we have... for the moment i'm using this 'bonus' and feeling more kind of extasy all the time... + playing guitar, or making food , exercise, or whatever to be creative in different levels all in all... why not...

Today is Harmony Day in Byron Shire...

This means people from all different races & nationalities are gathered together in town to praise, thank, celebrate, respect all Our Differences under this 'Common Sky'...!

1/2 Universe Jen hey, aren't we all after all... :-)

Much Love Forum - Hallelujah...

fbi, I am glad you enjoyed my dream too. I had it just after (or perhaps just before) I read someone (sorry, I've forgotten who!) posting here that their friends has a theory that dreams are toxins. Mine usually would seem to fit this but I thought that this dream was just wise and beautiful.

No-Frontiers, perhaps we can start a mutual appreciation club! Happy Harmony Day. I am curious, what have you changed in your way of eating?

Peace to All

after having seen your pictures i'm seriously beginning to think about that...  :laugh: you are of very fine nature, 'gentleness and strenght' shines from the pics... blessings to you and thanks for sharing...!

yesterday evening i went for camping with tent and dog and fasted the salad dinner, it felt good...
we settled on a good spot in the forest surrounded by quietness, fresh air and... had a good night sleeping together... :-)

hes such a wonderful creature, so aware, trustful and warm... a great companion and friend... his name 'Light'...
funny enough when i shot the pic i thought about him as 'my child'... and when i had a look at your pics, i saw you Jungle, posting with your baby...! mmh... mutual appreciation club...  :laugh:

what have i changed in my way of eating? good question...

i had mostly smoothies of fruits+greens in the morning and light fruit later evtl.,
a big salad with seaweed and some fats (avo-olives-seeds) at lunch and again fruit or salad for dinner depending on the day...
often i was going with only 2 meals at day and then feeling fine (good digestion)...
some dehydrated snacks like linseed crackers, or sun-burgers, pizza also but more sparingly, yum but not always yum for digestion....
all in all it was good but sometimes i was inconsistent and going overtsfat so much + feeling dehydrated... so i begun to cut all oils and replacing with whole-fats like seeds or nuts or avo, having smaller amounts of dehydrated snacks, and allowed more sweet fruits than fats to enter in my diet, especially if i had to work the day after to keep me light... 'my salt addiction' took me a while to give up and i'm doing fantastic without it right now... (on salt i will come later again and express some thoughts)  :laugh:

i moved gradually in 811 and are moving gradually along this guide-line listening my body wisdom; right now he is asking simple for 'fruits' and i'm enjoying it... i still em amazed feeling/seeing the detox as i'm on 100 raw since more than a year + on high raw since 4, and had a 92 days of JF behind me...!? there are emotional reason ( relationship i guess) also i think i have to sort out and i'm clearing the path for 'the Light'...

today btw i had a wonderful fruit bowl of:
1 grated apple,
3 sliced bananas,
1 orange in quarts,
just enough of pineapple,
3/4 dragonfruit,
1 small mango...

very yummy and colourful,,, it felt so wonderful having this light meal after an evening on water and lime...

Raw Blessing & Harmony

Lovely pics Iv...

Was just wondering mate if you'd care to share a detailed account of your 10 day visipanna retreat experience?

What you expected initially...what you actually experienced...dealing with the strict routine...how you feel/felt after it etc...

I'll understand if you don't care to share it though.

John

sometimes its good to wear a bike helmet at night..cos the kundalini rising can feel like its gonna blow the top of your head off!
transmutation of kundalini into our lifes purpose is another key point in succeeding on this path.

i was picking melons yesterday. there was some sunflowers that had turned into seed. it would take maybe an hour to get a cup of seed. possibly longer.

Hey Iv,

You are doing really well on your 811 adventure, I've enjoyed reading all your feelings so far.  If you are ever struggling for 811 inspired recipes Frances myself and Harley put together an ebook on our website that you can download which has loads of tasty healthy creations. :-))
Great photos, u 2 look very chilled out
 :ohyeah:

Wolfe in the Sunfood Diet says that for the transformation phase you have to 'go off' seeds for couple of months or so till its done... i feel very blessed having smaller amounts and it makes so sense as you describe Harley 'Mother Nature knows how much we need'

Many , many thanks for words and energy Freelea, a blessing having you here...! you both and Frances are 'walking the path' and doing great on this... 'holy diet'  :laugh: (as for the Kundalini i'm getting higher and higher)
A genlte Miss in the Forum already has pointed me out to the 'amazing' low-fat recipes you have created in your site and i'm literally stunned in front of the possibilities on 811! Raw-Ravioli, Pasta and even kind of Mexican Burrito ++?! I'm already inspired so much just looking shortly at it - cant imagine what when i have more time in the next days... thanks and blessing to thy...

today evening inspired by that i made a sort of gourmet '811 mexican pasta ' with no seeds - in the afternoon i had 3 very sweet-farm fresh macadamias, lots of bananas all troughout the day, apples and some guavas:

recipe:

1+1/2 zucchini grated as 'pasta'... (i do not own spiralizer for spaghetti)

sauce of:
1 big-big tomato
3 cherry tomatoes
1/2 capsicum
1 date
bit of basil
squezzed lime

lettuce leafs, bit grated carrot and sweet corn around the plate and on again on top...  (the lettuce leaf can used as a wrap)

the zucchini are sauce-covered as you can (cant) see...
very satisfying and 'spicy' this time...

heres a pic:

(http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii183/nofrontier/mexican.jpg)

mmh... all organic

oh, you just had to post that right before my juice fast lol! *hurry make before tomorrow* :P

yum...looks delish! And quite simple too ...:)

yummy pasta hey... em getting better and better... LOL

slept in the house again after two days camping last night...
while sleeping in the tent not far from home i felt so great being in close contact with Mother Nature...
it just feels so different sleeping outside... more fresh air - prana, life-force everywhere and the sound of Nature, the birds, insects, all animals, the view all seems to surround you with so much 'love' and 'protection' when you close your eyes and go in other dimension... i wondered at this occasion why we human forced ourself to live in such complicated and often unnatural buildings called houses! wouldnt it more healthier and genuine to live in natural builded tents-tipis, yurts or other eco-buildings like a strawbale house... mmh... we would have more time to connect with Nature and human family, with the elements of fire, water, air and earth and purify our life, become simpler and love each other for what we are...

btw this morning i did meditate for quite long (2hours) as i didnt had to work... the Kundalini is still arising and transforming but i felt the natural need this time to direct the energy with some yoga as i felt a sort of 'overt-energy' blocked in my solar plexus... so i made the 5 Tibetans that i learned a couple of years ago in Europe... this time i felt like ONE with the tibetans and no big effort to make them for 21 times each... amazing... it seemed i had done this exercise all my life long nearly...! recently i was using more softer Yoga exercises like Tai Chi but the Tibetans is i believe what i need now for the transformation and building up the body/mind complex in strenght, capacity... i finished the rites with the 6 tibetan for the whole purpose i need now...  :laugh:

my goals are clearer and clearer now and i feel there is something like a 'law of success' that i'm activating the more i go ahead...

daily thought today was: We must seek the path of holiness, the path of strenght, the path of consecrated action...

it inspired me...

YOU are inspiring! sleeping outside sure sounds great. I feel strange right now sitting at a computer inside but it is a fairly chilly day out there and  I injured my foot gardening in thongs so I figure in one way, by giving my body a chance to heal I am better off inside right now! I love that little Jarrah (bub) quite often is unhappy inside and content the second he is taken out. He has much wisdom to teach.   

I loved seeing your photos, Light and yourself seem like brothers!

Wishing you lots of fun and light....

I am doing well with my fruits and greens feasting and will update my journal this arv if you are interested in the finer details!

Non - Verbal

to know without thinking...
to express without telling...
to feel without doubting...
to be without doing...
to receive without asking...
to give without expecting...

Just one word, Love, shines in our Life brighter like a New Sun...
Just one word, Spirit above Us... embrace the Brotherhood of Humankind...

I Am you - You are me...
walking at the same pace and direction...
crossing each others eyes like a reflection...
feeling the heart-beat speaking - pause or action...?
where is my home? what with this land?
in the here... in the now... this is the last Frontier...
welcome aboard... we sail across the sea...
in winters time we'll see
and higher higher feel... 
Out of Time - Out of Space
are you ready for the grace?
Come up aboard , the time is Now...
I am you - You are me...
We are One...
walking at the same pace and direction...
crossing each others eyes like a reflection...
of Infinity...   

coming back for a 'verbal' again:

I had a bit of 'experiments' and 'experiences' lately relating to food and to the 'physical world...', not too bad ones ... just bit of overts fats and bad combos with belly bloating yesterday but going right now - no salt hey and cooked food: its faaar from me...!!
 
my body is sensitive now and asking me for simple meals like banana smoothies with raisins and some guavas... dried figs a favourite also and salads, greens all on 811...
at the moment i could literally live on just Bananas, Guavas, Raisins, Dates here and there, Parsley, Celery, perhaps grow Barley Green for whoknows... lets see if i'm putting myself up on a new challenge for a couple of days, weeks or perhaps better begin to integrate some foods (Barley Green-more Parsley) and changing slighlty the plan as i feel.... i'm working on a Banana Farm and luckyily manifesting 'fast food' in form of boxes of bananas and guavas...!
 good things are happening in the spiritual realm on the other side...
more awareness, signs and changes and dreams are shifting my soul in 'new' directions, new Land...
this also thanks to a nice person i'm so close now and with whom i'm walking the path of Life and Light in the last months...
emotionally i feel 'full' sometimes... not of bad things - but still of 'things' LOL... and i know i have to clear the more i go ahead, and face new challenges, let go... cause thats all about Life...
growing, dying, dying, dying and then growing again, with more splendour and color... thats about life...
its a music, so inspiring music, that touches your soul... and when you listen this music you understand what people are all about... that every person around on Earth has a story you can listen to... that every person who comes across your path is part of this story... and that together we are painting a beautiful picture called Dream, Life and Love... that we are finding again the pathways to access the hidden places of this Planet and ride on our Dreams, be together like in the 'old days', with more simplicity, in a new Light and without barriers for sure...:

an idealist? perhaps... and ideals are the fuel force that can carry us across this Planet - and this without polluting the environment of this precious Earth...

song on radio:
may your be safe from all harm and danger...
when your out of home...
may you enjoy the angels protection...
out on the Road...
Life has this funny way of change...
do you never be afraid...
when the time has come...
to let go...
may you be liked in time of Darkness
a long way from Home...
a long way from Home...
mmmh... mhhh.. piano playing...

All Love Jungle, All Love All

Hey Ivan,
I've only had a chance now to read this journal.  love the photos of you and your friend; your skin looks so clear and healthy. and the pasta pic looks absolutely devine...yumo!
You're doing so well.....
lou
x

thanks Lou,
wishing you all the best as well...

have to write down some things as a 'reminder' for the next phase on this 811 adventure...
first of all i'm feeling 'very great' on Low-Fats still but have integrated new aspects in the diet, and i have to be more consistent in this aspects, ie. doing it every day, reason why i'm going to write it down...

1. Juicing,
i feel so good and happy when having more liquids (at least on big drink) like carrot, orange juice and water with wheatgrass after or even better before the drink... all on empty stomach when time is right, everyday more juicy!...
wheatgrass is already growing on the trails in great amounts, carrots are also cheap to get, i've got a manual juicer...thats great...
i want to prepare my body for a more liquid and finer level right now - , doing a fast later in time, for winter solstice i guess... and still good amounts of fruit + salads in the meanwhile...

2. i'm having a good amount of Seaweeds cause they just are 4-5 times more alkalizing than other greens...
plant-elemtals are bringing the minerals on a higher level of evolutionary scale than stone-elementals, making it easier absorbable in human body..., thats my view on salt right now...

3. i was watching a 'dream-bike' yesterday = exercise... a touring Bianchi for 799$ with all the necessary equipment to be independent and bike where i want... fact is i'm earning and living with less than 1/4 of this money
at week that i need for rent + food, but things manifest in the right time and money comes and goes as seasons anyway, so no worries...

4. i have many other opportunities that are unfolding right now in good way (partnership, new people)... will do more work and focusing on this aspects... affirmations, prayers, meditation, study... everything is right in time...

thats it... not all but enough for the while...

:-)

Hi Ivan

I do love your posts!!! Funnily enough, I barely read them though sometimes......I just skim over the surface collecting the energy in them.....and I just let out a big sigh of release after doing so. Thank you. Simply gorgeous!!!

Don't forget to contact me when you next come to Sydney so we can go camping in heaven and hang out with my horses :-)

I love your precious Light - sweet soul that he is. :-)

Lovespirit

if I ever come in direction of Sydney i come and hang out with you and the horses in a quiet place of 'Heaven'... do you play a music instrument?  :laugh:
for the moment i'm still enjoying the greeny hills of Byron Shire but i remember of you hey, and things are shifting here by the way.....
in the later 3-4 days i had to deal with certain stress situations at workplace (not where i live hey)... , but thats all good cause funny enough the Universe decided to give me a break from this environment and i feel very relaxed and in Peace after having understood in which direction 'the Dream' is moving me (when it unfolds it can be testing)... All is right, Karma is good... No Dualism longer...
things can be often very challenging-compromising when you have to live in this money-oriented-world, and if you begin to live to long in it, you risk to get caught up with a system that is no longer sustainable, in fact in my opinion, is just an Illusion i dont want begin or take part and feed right now...at this time in Life...

So here i am free,
no job, no money, no Problem HE-HE...
i could moved to another Nana-Farm who needs me for 5 days at week but.....
going up every day for sunrise and watching the Sun early mornings is more   
important in my view than starting at 6-30 and spraying poison on trees...
+ having dreams in the Hearts,
and words to share with other beautiful people in this Planet
to see and dream together,
to share and live the Ups and Downs,
i will fast perhaps,
or eat less, once a day bit of fruit...
play music...
theres always a place where to go...
as long your know...
that a smile on your face is witnessing...
the Beauty of Everyday...
the Beauty Everywhere...
Above, Below,
on the Right and Lefthand Side...
Beauty is All we Need...

TIME IS ART - NOT MONEY!

All Love Forum - Good Morning Australia

Oh sweet freedom - like nectar sucked from a honeysuckle bloom...
your beautiful happy peaceful love will attract everything you need
thanks for being such a brave light

I meant to ask you before you changed your photo, was the fella you were with Peter? He looked like a lovely man I know (not well). He is a gentle, earthy, playful creative soul like yourself

Much Love on your new free adventure. You will attract everything you need and emerge stronger and lighter xo

''Much Love on your new free adventure. You will attract everything you need and emerge stronger and lighter xo''

''if you have to decide between Life and Death what do you choose?''
Dead is the answer...
thats what a brave 'Samurai' in the Old Times would have said LOL...
Dead is symbolical for Unkown, Mysterious, Unexplainable, Un-Logic (for Mind)
Hagakuri is a great book that goes deeper in this explanations...

I feel like rebirthing since 2 days...
eating not much at all and having the greates revelation, awakening, possibilities...
i had 1 apple at 9am yesterday, another one at 3pm, followed by a Banana...
and 'one' Pecan' nut...
that was all and i felt so 'energized'...
lots of creative gardening i've done lately, plus resettling the house 'where i'm living'
i'm reading the Power of Now right now,
and eating 'only when seriously hungry small amounts of food on one hand'
in the 'here' stronger than ye...
and things are manifesting, coming already...
to serve and be served...
we are Energy...
Love Energy...
go up everyday and watch the Living Sunrise...
watch the Love come on Earth...
and be Part of this beautiful Scenario...

Thanks for your Words Jungle, your a beatuiful and energetic soul...
His name is Lukas, not Peter... a very nice soul too...

All Love to the Forum,
to Harley, Freelea, Oxygen, Raw Sensation, Love Spirit, to you Jungle and everyone else here, to every beautiful Soul who lives on this part of Planet and walks on Earth... in Beauty












 

Ivan firstly can I say I am instantly inspired into action by your signature, thankyou :-)...
'Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible'
Everytime I feel I'm in the throes of apathy I will recall this advice.

Really connecting with your entries, its truly a joy to read words from ones heart... I believe everyone is capable of communicating on that level but unfortunately not many seem to.  I honestly feel for most people in society who seem to be constantly chasing their tales, slaving away to keep the economy strong and finance the latest defence budget...I am really saddened by it because I know in my heart all the world needs is not more money & power but an increased consciousness, a universal awakening. 
Like what you talk about Iv, loving one another, seeing the beauty in everything and everyone...giving without expectation, loving without conditions....and ultimately raising our collective existance into a brighter, magical dimension.

Vibrant souls like yourself Iv contribute to this cause simply by sharing your journey from your heart, thankyou for your valuable contribution :-))

many thanks for your words freelea (very thanks actually)

listening to a Mayan speaker recently he said: when predatory Money-system will crash... Consciousness will rise... (as they dont go well together hey) ... so all right...
with every 'problem', new challenge, dramatic change here on Earth we have alwasy an opportunity for a shift in consciousness (if we are open for it), and this means to reach new and deeper levels of understanding (insights), of inter-acting, and being...
as long we are capable to act positively to the situation we have to face... ie. make the best of it... everything is fine... + choosing to live a life aside from 'money-machine' is the best spiritual reward and gift one can make to himself...

the Legends of of Shambala (book by J.Redfield) are speaking about how important it is to anchor (is that the right word?) the connection with the Universal Energy Source of the Universe (as we are a living energy field and continuously creating what we emanate + will learn how to breath in this Energy from Universe more and more in times to come) and when in diffucult situation of danger or warning (dreams, intution, bad feeling, sick ++), first take in consideration the alarm and be aware of it and then act in the way (with wisdom, heart) following the sincronicities and keeping a 'positive attitude' that always a 'Higher Sincronicity or Co-incidence' will come in the right time to lead us out in safe zone from this Situation, so that we can move forwards on Our path... :-)
this is what has been called 'Faith' in every spiritual tradition...

I'm feeling very well in the Now...
i just thought i write that i'm safe because a gentle soul inside this Forums pm'ed me asking how i Am and thinking at me with Heart and motherly instinct LOL... i'm always fine btw, less up and downs and more straight... and wanted just to say thanks to you again!

in the meanwhile i'm busy with the new winter-garden, + planting Bananas on our properties and some harvesting + many other projects that will keep my mind, body, spirit well occupied... 'in safe place...'

wishing you all a beautiful day,
Today Byron Market, Ishah (the person i'm living with) is selling biodynamic products and theres lots of beautiful people + sunshine... Have to get back soon to help her on the stall!

Lots of Love Australia,
Lots of Love Forum,
Lots of Love Everyone!

ps.
''I am really saddened by it because I know in my heart all the world needs is not more money & power but an increased consciousness, a universal awakening.''

we dont need many people, what we need is a few good ones, but strong and courageous , able to shift the consciousness of the multitudes and bring Life & Light back to the Earth...

the time is Now...

I love the way you write :)

Shambala is also a valley of peace in Indian folklore (a Sanskrit word perhaps?). Where my parents live among wild wilderness is called on maps "Valley Of Peace" so we call their property Shambala. So very special your talk of Shambala!! "Their" place is so special, abundant, peaceful. love and sunshine !

your right Jungle,

Shambala is a mythical kingdom hidden beyond the Himalayas... theres a spiritual civilization living there but the place is not-accesible to humans who have not reached a certain level of vibration and Love... It is said that Shambala is just an example of what the World/Earth will/can be when enough people will feel and live in harmony and communicate with the Light-Forces of Nature... (similar to what you are doing and learning to do in pristine Tasmania hey??!!)

i've been eating very small, thiny amounts of food lately and feeling great on every level..., i'm healing and purifying thoughts , emotions and body...., the direction taken is one of Freedom to eat what i want (always raw), when i want , without attachment or preocupation (if 811 or not) and with not to much focusing, thinking at it..., just guided by intuition and what the day offers + staying minimal in the Quantities... + doing exercise, walking, working in the gardens and music with great energy btw...

motto is : Equanimity + Freedom = Happiness....

i had MONDAY last week : 1 apple at 9am, another one at 2-3pm with one banana... 1 pecan nut... that was all and i did lots of resetting the house for whole day...

Tuesday i had : a small salad with sunflower cheese and buckwheat cracker at midday... that was all with a couple of glasses of water... lots of gardening and planting bananas

Wednesday i had: i apple at 9 pm, fruit again at lunch (banana blend + sultanas)...

Thursday i had: a pineapple + wheatgrass + ginger juice in the late morning, a small salad with Hummus for lunch and some seaweed...

Friday: 3 bananas and 1 date for lunch.... 

Saturday: nothing till 2 pm ... then i had a Salad and bit of almond cheese...

SUnday: a hand of fruit and water at lunch...


I feel having more time for meditation and getting enough 'calories' from Prana (Universal Energy or CHI) is a great advantage right now...

i'm saving precious resources (and money) of this planet and em doing interesting reading on the subject of Living of Light and Breatharianism...

In cutting down (half the size) the meals research have shown that the life-span extendes to 30%...

since following this 'starve-diet' i'm feeling very light, relaxed, free from attachment, and stronger on both spiritual / physical level...

I'm still balancing the ''not to much extreme'' and the 'not to much food'' and playing around, seeing what result are coming out... it will take me a while to get more in tune and understand , find my way...

One rule is to dont have any food after 2, 3 pm and try to go at bed with a 'empty feeling'...
that feels fine... cause 'less is more'... and ...finally i'm there (finding the way of balance + spiritual nutrition)...!
 
Lots of Love Everyone there!

You are a blessed man Ivan...truly so...

You have a gift...

Whenever I read your posts (and I always do)....I always feel better....if I'm down I feel less down...if I'm happy I feel even happier. You have a "vibration" about you that shines through even through mere words.

It's a joy to share your experiences and insights via this forum.

Much love to you brother.

John

Wow, special thanks for Shambala insight and magic picture. My stepdad was talking of plants that grow in Tibet, in valleys where very spirit-focused beings only have been, Shambala in essence. Places where only those accepting of nature go. It is like in Tasmania there is much wilderness so many places still that not many have seen. There is a plant in one of these wild places that is the only one of its species in existence.

You are a clean, crisp of fresh air, in much agreeance with John. You give much to many through wise words.

special thanks to you both amazing souls,,,

blessed JOHN? lately i feel to be blessed just being surrounded by blessed people and on this blessed Planet... what a blessing being here with you LOL... Blessings to you Brother... 

Jungle, we have to learn from such Plants to be different and unique in the Lands Of MONO-CULTURE were living, a Flower stands on the path of the Road, but her smell and fragrance, her innocence and beauty is gently but strong enough to penetrate our deepest memories and Dreams, awaken us to Live our Life in Love...
 LOVE To you gentle Flower of the Wild Forests!

Last week i was house-sitting and on my own pretty much finding quite interesting things happening, real shifts on many levels i can hardly describe... the more i go ahead the more i feel that the BIG PICTURE up there is unfolding and loving us so much! <The choices of Heart we spoke before, every action has reaction>.... and yes, if physically i'm perhaps not that conscious always about things, my Soul seems to understand everything or more during MIND-REST, and this makes me cry of happiness... always!!

The BIG PICTURE... the 100th Monkey... The Spiritual Civilization... Shambhala!!

we are waiting for it... to unfold!

so with my eating patterns i have been a bit of naughty lately...!

Having all sorts of food (raw) and eating sometimes Over The Top... :laugh:

so i have to come back and FOCUS again on 'systematic undereating' (cause 1 1/2 week was good, but last days...mmh)
thats my way and i feel really fine doing so...
i already started a RAW-LIGHT-BREATHARIAN Diary to keep my motivated and have a SPACE where to express my thoughts and feelings, a space where to commun-nicate and 'gamble' information...

sometimes emotions (good ones) are taking me and i'm becoming 'compromising' with food... but i will find center soon... thats just baby-stepping on my New Path towards Manhood...

yesterday btw i Made a RAW GOURMET CAKE for ISHAHS Birthday, the 1. that tasted 'very' good (HEHE)

heres a pic

its a mix of everything but not heavy actually , and no chocolate as i'm not a fan of it...


LOTS OF LOVE to everyone in the meanwhile!!

sing, sing, sing of joy and happiness...
forget the sorrow...
a new Day is coming,
and this Day will last FOREVER!
Our Day is coming...
SHAMBALLA... la-la-la

(i know i'm crazy he-he, arent we all when we are in LOVE with LIFE?)

LOVE TO YOU!

that last post was lovely NF!

thankyou!

to find the balance between making yourself gifts of pleasure and in the same time being master of your body via mind is a great quest and requires confidence, trust and stillness...

you can work on so many levels in your Inner World with no-Limitations...:
like finding center everyday, meditate,  calm down the senses, affirmations, connect with Nature and other relaxing activities that help 'dispelling the chaos'...

Food can become then a Rite of Gratitude and Appreciation towards Life and Earth if you are in Peace with yourself ; far away from any obsessions and inner conflicts ,

you are in HARMONY NOW...

and Master of Matter with this Awareness...

find the Awareness to collect in the Spring of Inner Stillness...

can you listen , or do you speak?
