Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Thanks, jb and Antoine. Yes, the old carcass wants lots of water. The energy levels have been fluctuating. Lots of vibrations, sounds, aches and pains, oh my! I have also had to close proof-read everything I write. The lettres in the words tend to become mxied up! I have taken some fruit - apples, oranges, bananas, and mangoe. But today I 'had' to have a burrito and a taco and some candy! :-) The old caracass also wanted salt. I loaded an apple with salt the other day and could barely taste it. Same with the mangoe the next day but the salt had more taste. The key, I think, is to let the body share its own wisdom of its needs. This is easier if one hasn't allowed the body to become addicted to an imbalanced diet. I mean, if one or two pieces of pizza tastes good, one need not eat the entire pizza at a sitting. I remember the nice vegatarian food at the retreat. One night though whatever it was the monk was cooking didn't smell right. I knew that if I ate it the body would become very ill. Happily, Greg led an expedition to a pizza parlor. There we had overcooked cheese pizza (that's the way Greg ordered it) and root beer. It smelled right and there was no problem. I am also feeling a great pull to relocate to New Mexico. Whoever thinks the sky is blue has never spent a winter in Oregon. The last two days I have done some mild K exercises. They helped. The exercises have been to do quiet breath meditaion and let the energy flow where it needed/wanted to. Very relaxing. Well, that's about it. Peace - Michael ps HAHAHAH and HOHOHO!

In regard to the other, have you infused with some sunlight recently, It is my practice to meditate/contemplate in a natural setting each day at sunrise. This time of year it can get a bit chilly, even in Florida, so you have to be a bit inventive with outerwear until you can achieve a state where the body can be directed to generate adequate heat in tumo. Well I'm off to the bay, perhaps the dolphins will swim by this morning to say hello.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Hey Michael, Best of luck with it! It sounds to me like you are doing the right thing, letting the energy go where it will and trusting your body to know its needs. Love, Mark ps maybe you can get Sahajman! Sahajman! to help with the spelling... Michael Read wrote: > Thanks, jb and Antoine. > > Yes, the old carcass wants lots of water. The energy levels have been > fluctuating.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2001 Report Share Posted January 23, 2001 Enjoying the discussions about diet and water--eating as much raw food as you can manage plus lots of water while enjoying cooked foods with friends and family and succumbing to junk food attacks when absolutely necessary seems a good approach to me...dearest micheal, i think there is much to be said for living in a place where the climate is mild, water is abundant, and food is easy to grow(ie Willamette Valley, which seemed like paradise to me when i lived there)--because if our civilization infrastructure begins to crumble (such as rolling blackouts in Cal) it's nice to live somewhere where you don't need AC, there is plenty of wood for the mild winters, and lots of food and water...love, nora Mace Mealer wrote: > > > Michael Read wrote: > >> I am also feeling a great pull to relocate to New Mexico.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2001 Report Share Posted January 24, 2001 Be as equally cautious with raw food as with junk food. Certain raw food contain germs that are not expelled by the body when eaten. Other types of raw food may contain negative substances that could have been neutralized through cooking. Me and my family have been hit by amoebaiasis more than twice by eating raw food. There are no hard and fast rules about when you should or shouldn't consume raw food. I think that the key is that the only food that you can really afford and trust to eat raw is that which you have prepared yourself (from start to finish).

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
