Hello, I am here to tell all of you I went to Google Adsense to start to try and monetize this website. Here is the first ad I every tried before and I will continue to look for the optimal size ad that will allow for less obstruction and more of an easy transition to a better site. I figure if I can get enough traffic to this site by promoting it, I may be able to earn a living off of it, which would be great. The harder I work, the better it will turn out. This is a preview of things to come.
Starting a new eating routine is a challenging ordeal to accomplish, but I feel like I am finally getting it to a point where I feel comfortable. I am convinced that natural hygeine is the key to having exuberant and vibrant health. Their concepts of food combining and only fruits before noon sound very appealing to me. It is a mostly raw diet, and that is something I definitely will enjoy. I am not a fan of cooking, and I know how much cooking damages food. Ideally, I hope to go completely raw in the near future. I just need to find a way to make some raw vegetables palatable. Perhaps soaking them in water will do some good…
At this point, I do not eat on a set schedule. I eat when I feel hungry and that is it. I eat “meals” at least three hours away from each other, and only one “concentrated food” at a time. I can mix the concentrated foods with non-concentrated foods. A concentrated food is a food without high water content, like walnuts or cooked food. The thing that is fascinting to me is our bodies are over 70 percent water and yet we do not have 70 water in our diet. The key is to up the high water content foods and lower the concentrated foods to balance out the body’s natural system. I find this whole concept very interesting.
I recently bought a book entitled Fit for Life. I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of it, but it is an amzing book so far. I am about halfway done reading it and it is something I could see myself adapting to, their way of life. I decided I am going to try it and see how my results are. If they are promising, I will keep it. If not, I will look for another diet. It is not that I need to lose weight. I am at a healthy weight and I am getting in good shape, but my energy level is still a little low, so I am trying to find the diet that will boost my energy levels to the point I can start accomplishing more and having the energy to do so. I know this post is shorter than my usual posts, but I really have to get to working out. Have a good day.

The key here is getting everything I do not need out of my life. All of the things that are no longer useful to me. Get rid of the thoughts in my head that do not help me. Start implanting thoughts that empower me and keep me going. Understand that living simply is a means by which you let others simply live. I believe Ghandi has a quote something like that. There is a feeling of lightness that comes with this territory, a feeling that you are no longer bound to the things and feelings you used to regard as a neccesity. Attachment is the root of all suffering. Attachment to things, outcomes, and feelings is what causes all the bad things in the world. To no longer hold stock in expectations does not demotivate me to take action, it makes taking action that much easier because even if I fail, I am more concerned with the experience than the outcome.
I sometimes question the way we live as human beings, and I realize that it will take a massive catastrophe for any of this to change. We never see problems that creep up to us slowly, like global warming, but if something were to happen, like a meteor hitting the Earth or something, then we would know how to adapt, we would made due. Perpetuating our existence is a must from a humanistic perspective. Why, I don’t know. Whenever people talk about the “end of the world,” what they are really talking about is the end of human existence. Like we are so much more important than the other creatures on this planet. WE need to be interdependent with nature, not independent of it. But from a universal perspective, it isn’t all that important, but on a local one, it is the most important thing possible.
There is a saying like, “If we all did out part…” Well, that would be nice, wouldn’t it? Everyone doing their part for a better world, a better existence. But for some reason, people are too caught up in their situation, their immediate surroundings, not the fate of the planet. I guess it is a challenge to think in terms of the whole planet, of every action we take furthering the world in one direction or another, and making a conscious effort to see the consequences of our actions is not a pleasant experience. But after you do this, and realize what is happening, you start to question many of the activities you took for granted. I am not a vegetarian yet, but seeing how animals are treated in slaughterhouses and understanding that if we are all one, every animal I eat contributes to the suffering of consciousness, the karmic debt is enormous. The way people tear down the rainforests to make room for cattle to graze. The way the cattle are pumped full of hormones and antibiotics so they do not die and produce more. The feeling that contributing to suffering is not the best option.
I will admit I still eat meat on occasion. I realize there are many negative consequences to doing so. Eventually, I hope to phase out meat completely. There are numerous benefits to doing so, if I do it right. I may have to take supplements and eat more vegetables, but it is something I am willing to do to increase my gift to the world. And it will help take away some of the resources used for animals. If we all did this, all of us, then maybe we could start some changes, radical changes. But for some reason, I do not see this happening. It may take over a century even if everyone is willing. It would take a consciousness revolution for this to happen. I see spurts of this sort of revolution, but not to the extent that would be required.
The best thing I can do right now is simplify my life and the lives of the people around me. Start having people question the norm, the status quo. Encourage change, encite a movement, wake people up to the world and show that we can all be just as happy living simply, living with a high state of consciousness. It will be far more joyous than we live today. I guess you could say I am an optimistic pessimist, but I am more on the optimum side right now. I am not going to deny that the world is in bad shape, and the best way I know how to encite change is through informing people and practicing what I convey. If we all start to do this, maybe, just maybe, we will fix the problems of the world, start to develop renewable fuel sources that do not pollute the environment, and even save many of the dying species occupying various regions of he globe. I am hopeful we are up to this task. We may need a collection of individuals to complete this task, to advocate change and to move higher on the consciousness scale, so let us all get together in simplifying and raising consciousness. It will be a fun ride. You better wear your seatbelt.
