Maria
Maria was a bartender at a local pub in town. I would go in when I was not of age to drink but she would serve me anyways. I’m pretty sure she knew this but I always left good tips and I never got out of hand. Except when the owner cut me off on “all you can drink mondays”. Plus the place was usually dead, so it as either serve a minor and make decent tips or make nothing. Of course when I became old enough to go elsewhere I stopped making appearances to see her.
sorry I haven’t been on tumblr in some time, I’ve been so occupied with riding my new bike around town. Feeling like a child riding down hills and enjoying the lovely weather we’ve been having. You notice so much more when on a bike or while walking, I almost feel like I was boxed in away from all the beauty around me when I was driving.

What is raw food?
Only humans and domesticated animals eat cooked and processed foods. The cooking and processing of food has become so common that most of us do not even consider questioning it. Raw food is plant-based, uncooked food - the way nature provides it to us.
Cooking means…
“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.”
—Lao Tzu (via dirtcrumbgoddess)
“We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty.”
—G. K. Chesterton (via nirvikalpa)

What is raw food?
Only humans and domesticated animals eat cooked and processed foods. The cooking and processing of food has become so common that most of us do not even consider questioning it. Raw food is plant-based, uncooked food - the way nature provides it to us.
Cooking means heating anything beyond about 116.6F. Why 116.F? At this temperature enzymes in food begin to be destroyed. It is easy to test whether you have breached this temperature threshold, if your finger can’t stand the heat, your food can’t either.
What are plant-based foods?
- fruits
- vegetables
- nuts
- seeds
- herbs
- flowers
- leaves
- seaweeds
- superfoods
- sprouts
When you look at what is done to food before it is eaten, you can only conclude that people believe nature has made a mistake. We get fresh, natural food and alter it. Mother nature does not need to be taught how to feed us. We need to realize that the Earth provides us with everything we need for our time here, and by tampering with what she provides, we compromise the quality of our food, health, and planet.
Why Eat Raw Foods?
Ucooked foods provide us with more nutrients. The cooking process has been shown to destroy nutrients. The higher the temperature, the more nutrients are destroyed. Low-temperature dehydration is the best method for warming or drying your food. Most food is cooked at well over 320F. At such high temperatures up to 80 percent of the nutritional value of food is lost and replaced with toxic waste.
Here is a summary of some of the research findings regarding cooking and its effect on food.
- Heat-sensitive vitamins like vitamin C and the B vitamins, including B12, are destroyed.
- Good fats become bad fats and eventually turn into trans fats, the higly toxic type of fat formed in baking and frying.
- 50 percent or more of the bioavailability of minerals is lost when mineral-rich foods are cooked, and is replaced with toxic waste.
- A known human carcinogen called acrylamide is formed in the high-temperature cooking of carbohydrates and protein.
- When more than 50 percent of your meal (by weight) is cooked, your body experiences an increased white blood cell count. This means that your immune system has been activated to fight a potential threat: the unrecognizable food you just ate!
- Cooking destroys the electrical charge of the cells of our food. Our cells in turn lose their charge and can’t function properly.
- Red blood cells clump together and can’t efficiently carry oxygen or detoxify the body.
Because of the destruction of all enzymes, cooked food requires far more energy to digest. Animal foods, especially meat, are considered the most energetically draining to try and digest.
Cooking also increases the acid-forming nature of food. Our internal acid-alkaline balance is one of our primary health balances. If our bodies become too acidic, diease follows. If our bodies are alkaline, disease cannot take hold. We are not acidified just by food; stress, environmental toxins, medication, dehydration, and negative emotional states all have an acidic effect. Alkaline forming foods include green leaves, fruits, vegetables, herbs, sprouts, and sea vegetables.
What you are reading now is simply information. If you test out these concepts and practice the principles, you will have personal experience, which is wisdom. The benefits of eating a plant-based raw diet are many, but until you experience them for yourself they are just stories.
One of the most common benefits of going raw is a feeling of lightness and clarity. It’s as if a cloud lifts off the mind. Emotions become more stable; it becomes easy to smile for no apparent reason. A sense of anxiousness and uncertainty vanishes and is replaced by a calm, centered confidence and feeling of connectedness. On a physical level, many chronic conditions show remarkable improvement and true healing occurs. The quality of skin, nails, and hair improves. Recovery time for exercise greatly improves and stamina and strength increase. The body naturally and easily releases excess weight. You produce far less garbage at home and the so-called waste becomes compost, which continues the circle of life. Colds and flue become a thing of the past. Your body is able to adjust to changing seasonal temperatures more easily. You eat less food as hunger is truly satisfied - a feeling of being content. The list goes on and on.
Our potential for health and wellness is truly amazing. Act, experience, and know!

“Drink wine.
This is life eternal.
This is all that youth will give you.
It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends.
Be happy for this moment.
This moment is your life.” —From the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, trans. by Edward FitzGerald (via lotus-eyes)

“You know the Hindus ask, Who am I? Asking this is a big discipline. Am I this body? I was once giving a lecture to a group of prep-school boys on Buddhism, and I wondered, “How could I render this idea to them?” Because what is called Buddha consciousness is the one consciousness of which we are all manifestations. We are all Buddha things. We are all separate manifestations of this great consciousness that informs the whole universe. The plants are conscious. The stones are conscious. All things are conscious.
So I said to the boys, “Look at the ceiling. You can say the lights, plural, are on, or you can say the light is on. There are two ways of saying the same thing. The lights are on accenting the individual vehicle, the bulb, and the light is on is accenting the general light. But they are two ways of saying exactly the same thing.”
Now in Japan the accent on the individual thing is called the ji-hokai, or the individual realm, and the accent on the general is called the ri-hokai, the general realm. There is a little saying, ji-ri-muge: individual, general, no obstruction. No difference.
So when one light breaks, the superintendent of buildings and grounds doesn’t come in and say, “Oh I was particularly fond of that bulb. This is a calamity.” He takes it out, puts in another bulb.” —Joseph Campbell - The Hero’s Journey (via theuniverseworks)

“
The love of the Beloved
must be unconditionally returned.
If you claim love
yet oppose the Beloved,
then your love is but a pretence.
You love the enemies of your Beloved
and still seek love in return.
You fight the beloved of your Beloved.
Is this Love or the following of shaytaan?
True devotion is nothing
but total submission
of body and soul
to One Love.
We have seen humans claim to submit,
yet their loyalties are many.
They put their trust here, and their hope there,
and their love is without consequence.

Me: yes, everything of the earth has anti-cancer qualities. cancer, like every disease is caused by a low frequency, everything in the universe is energy. Frequency is measured in megahertz and everything has a certain frequency, or…
