		<description>The trick is to not only not fear, but affirm full humanity.  It is not easy.  For 5 years I have relentlessly cut my ties one by one with the money slave system.  Now I am on the edge of Homelessness.  Rarely am I able to work, no one wants a 51 year old to work over or under the table, my working friends avoid me for months, I live like a poet.  Yes I am free.  Free to starve.
Free to write.  Free to be me.  However we are social beings.  We need like minded others in real life and in real time.  So there is a fine line here and that is keep your day job till your garden grows ducats.</description>

		<description>The dust has settled, and the fog of emotion and waves of thought have passed.

The day after this event I noticed pest control activity at the house next door.  They have a relatively messy house, and it is likely that many of the pests in the neighborhood are due to their filthiness.

I think what happened to Smithers, is he ate a rat, that had been poisoned.  That is the best explanation I can offer.

Thanks to those of you who sent your sympathy.  I think many of us learned a valuable lesson about our selves.  A lesson that can only be learned by experiencing certain levels of suffering and detachment.</description>

		<description>and thus, the marriage of soul and body is rent violently from its calm existence to remind us once more the true nature of our own existence; one side is of this world and must remain in this world, the other side a visitor, here only to experience life.  Smithers experienced his life, his body will return to the earth and his soul will return to the place from which it came.</description>

		<description>I will take a mental note to prevent this from happening to the rest of the American people and myself.

1.  Always take physical delivery of precious metals.

2.  And keep a long-gun to kill would-be thieves.</description>

		<description>Yes, also, you must know that some "aliens" - like the ever so common 'Greys' - are primarily delegated to certain nonphysical realms, possibly lower Astral realms.  This isn't to say that they're wholly bad, but one should never assume otherwise either.  It is best to keep your heart at gear neutral.  Anyway, I enjoy reading your blog, man!  Keep it up with the metaphysical entries.</description>

		<description>Been a while since I visited ..Always very impressed with this site-your intelligence - and your patriotic zeal is duly noted... I huess the one thing you learn when folks like us raise our voices to warn others of bad news..most people just do not want to hear it-read it - or believe it.. I wanted to ask your opinion of the interview Aaron Russo gave about the Rockefeller "plan" for the United States.. I believe that Aaron was a great and good American and  I would have trouble thinking that he may have embellished the story. Anyway ..Stay strong..stay low ..and make sure your powders dry</description>

		<description>Now I am nearing the end of day 5 of this juice fast, Tuesday October 9, 2007.  There is a bit of a lapse in this fasting journal, so today I would like to cover the happenings day 3 (afternoon) to day 5.

&lt;strong&gt;Day 3 (afternoon)&lt;/strong&gt;
Spent a couple of hours at the Yoga seminar working on inversions: head stand, shoulder stand, hand stand and several other related poses which help with inversions.  During the day I had a mixture of Carrot, Ginger, Bok Choy and Celery; this mixture had a very strong concentration of Bok Choy and Celery.  During the evening I had drank the juice of several Grapefruits and tossed in a beer for the hell of it.  All of the juice was diluted with 50% water, of course.

&lt;strong&gt;Day 4&lt;/strong&gt;
On this day I woke up feeling nauseated and uncomfortable; I had some really toxic-looking urine after I first awoke, but the feeling quickly wore off as the day progressed.  During the morning I finished up the remainder of the juice combo that I had bottled during the previous day and drank Watermelon juice, from a small melon that had grown in the garden last season.  

To my suprise, the small melon made several large glasses of juice.  The Watermelon juice is very rich and, according to what I have read, is an excellent juice for the Kidneys.  When I drink the juice of watermelon, it reminds me of a chocolate shake.

&lt;strong&gt;Day 5&lt;/strong&gt;
Today was the easiest day thus far.  I think the powerful juices that were taken in the past couple of days are finally starting to have an effect on the internal energies (chi).  This morning, no juice was taken; only Banlangen Keli and Green Tea.  This evening I am drinking from an apple, blueberry and blackberry juice combination.

Before bed I plan on having a couple of grapefruits, to get a gague as for how good of an evening staple of grapefruit juice affects the following day's energy levels and fluctuations.  Then it will be time to do some Tai Chi before it is all over.

At the moment, the chi seems to be gathering in the upper dan-tien (brow chakra).  It feels like a ball of energy is in the forehead, to some level of intensity, in each moment; this is an uninterruptable field of biomorphic energy that flows and pulsates in the forehead; the polar opposite of the lower dan-tien in the naval region.

During some experience, especially those where the awareness is heightened, I will often feel a large flow of chi to one part of the body or another.  During one particular experience, I felt a massive flow of chi, moving upwards from the kidney and in to the head; when it reached the head, the chi created a calming and relaxing sensation.

The feeling resembles the sort of feeling you get when the acupuncturist puts needles in a few key places in your head and then holds a warm coal over them for a few seconds.</description>

It feels like a ball of energy is in the forehead, to some level of intensity, in each moment; this is an uninterruptable field of biomorphic energy that flows and pulsates in the forehead; the polar opposite of the lower dan-tien in the naval region.</p>
<p>During some experience, especially those where the awareness is heightened, I will often feel a large flow of chi to one part of the body or another.  During one particular experience, I felt a massive flow of chi, moving upwards from the kidney and in to the head; when it reached the head, the chi created a calming and relaxing sensation.</p>
<p>The feeling resembles the sort of feeling you get when the acupuncturist puts needles in a few key places in your head and then holds a warm coal over them for a few seconds.</p>

		<description>Good to hear from you again Redangel.  That would be great if you could fast with us next time!  I have yet to go as long as you have, but I'm working in that direction.

I have been doing most of my research in a book called "The Tao of Health Sex and Longevity" by Daniel Reid.  Ever since I picked up this book, back in November of 2005, my life has changed greatly as well as the lives of the people who this information was passed on to.

The book talks about:
* The Taoist practice of Trophology, or proper food combinations
* Cleansing and detoxification with juices, foods, herbs and digestive cleanses
* Sexual practices to help build vitality and conserve chi and Taoist birth control

It gets really deep into a number of important topics.  If you get that book and like it, I would also get "The Tao of Detox," a book by the same author that is focused entirely on detoxification.

My reasons for fasting are both spiritual and physical.  I think that there are spiritual aspects of our being that are affected by the physical and vice versa.

Namaste

		<description>Interesting... would have loved to join your team in this endeavour... May be you can invite me for the next one...? mmmm... where are you researching proper juice combinations to keep well nourished?  ... I study and work a lot... I need good vitamins from the food I eat...

Any help will be great...

I was on a liquid fast (even liquid vitamins) about three years ago... the longest I've lasted actually... it was 17 days... mmm... I felt great. Reasons were spiritual but phisically I saw a lot of benefits... detox and an overall feeling of wellness...


Blessings!

		<description>Today is day 3 of the juice fast and I'm feeling great.  I've had very little desire to eat "regular" foods and feel quite content continuing on for the foreseeable future.

During the morning and afternoon of day 2, I had a juice that was diluted 50% with water, consisting of carrot, celery, bok choy and ginger.  During the evening, after the Yoga was over for the day, 2 grapefruits were juiced and diluted 25% with water.

This morning, October 7th of 2007, was started by drinking the juice of one grapefruit, followed by a cup of Banlangen Keli (a Chinese herbal tea which builds the immune system) and later a couple of cups of green tea.

The Yoga class yesterday was a wonderful combination of hip openers and back bends, with some attention given to inversions.  Both of the techniques we focused on are a fantastic way of regaining the range of motion that your body was meant to have.

I find that back bends have a dramatic effect on the openness of the upper chest, which becomes closed-off and immobile if back bends are not done to release the bones and stretch the muscles and tendons.  An open chest makes everyday life more pleasant, because you are then able to sit with a better posture and move around more easily, with less pain and stiffness.

As the instructor said, hip openers are the key to much of what your body is capable of.  After a nice warm-up with some hip opening exercises, we did a few variations of the "crow pose" which felt awesome; I never had known that I was capable of doing these until then.

I would like to end this with a chant that we did at the beginning of each class.  Over the last few years I have found chanting to be one of the most powerful ways to center the mind, so you can focus on the eternal moment and discard errant thoughts...

Om.... Om.... Om....
Om Namah Shivaya Gurave
(I offer myself to Lord Shiva, the Auspicious One, who is the True Teacher within and without,)
Saccidananda Murtaye
(Who assumes the forms of Reality, Consciousness, and Bliss,)
Nishprapanchaya Shantaya
(Who is never absent and is full of peace,)
Niralambaya Tejase
(Independent in existence, the vital essence of Illumination.)
Om...</description>

		<description>Greetings:

I had a reading a few years ago at which time I was told that I scored "150" (top 4%) on a "mystic potential"(?) chart.  Can you explain this to me.

thank you, thank you, thank you in advance...

		<description>Raezen,

You have some important points regarding the special needs of individuals who have chosen not to eat meat.  I don't agree with everything Dr. Mercola says either, though most of the information on his site seems to be quite beneficial.

I believe that it is possible, however, to eliminate most grains by simply consuming sprouted grains instead of whole grains.  There are sprouted grain cereals and breads available at most health food stores; they are more expensive than "conventional" breads, but they appear to be much better for the body.

I had been a big consumer of "conventional" bread up until the last couple of weeks, but since I switched to sprouted grain breads and cereals, I've noticed a great change in my energy levels.  No longer am I burdened with the ups and downs of rapidly fluctuating insulin levels that goes along with grain consumption.

I think that he is a little off on his assertion that most nuts should be taken out of the diet.  Perhaps it would have been better to say that they should be taken in moderation and proportional to the amount of Omega-3 that is in the diet.

It seems as if we should be able to counter-balance the Omega-6 intake from nuts with Omega-3 from other sources such as Flax, Walnuts and Avocados.

The understanding I have regarding nuts is that they should be eaten after having been soaked for 24 hours, since nuts have a protective mechanism that allows them to pass through the animal digestive system.  Soaking the nuts drops the protection and allows the nut to be digested; I hear it is also good to sprout nuts as well.

Thats just what I've experienced and researched on the matter.  Thanks for the comment :)</description>

		<description>As a vegetarian who already eats a lot of raw produce and limits dairy and processed foods, I would find it pretty hard to limit or eliminate grains, beans, and nuts as well. I've considered adding some form of meat or eggs back in my diet to replace grains and other less-than-ideal foods, but on an emotional and mental level I find the idea of eating animals again hard to digest.

That being said, I do like a lot of the info on his website (the dangers of soy, sugar, etc.), and find it especially swell that he talks about EFT and emotional eating.</description>
