Thread: Dannon's random writings, posts, ideas, and thoughts on life.

I am thinking of becoming a full fledged vegan. I was raised mostly vegetarian. I don't really like eggs more than very occasionally. I am allergic to dairy so I don't eat that. But I do eat seafood. I love salmon. I love sushi and seviche and poke (Po'Kay, a hawaiian raw fish dish). I love squid both raw and cooked when it is very fresh, otherwise it is too rubbery.
But I cannot justify the eating of animals just because I like the taste.
It took me many many many years to find out that I was allergic to dairy. My whole life I had suffered from eczema and it wasn't until last year that a light bulb went on above my head and I realized it was because of an allergy to something. I did two weeks without dairy, grains, nuts, or corn. My eczema cleared up so I first reintroduced wheat back to my diet. All good. I added nuts. All good. But then I had butter and I got all itchy again and flaky. It was the dairy!
I have always been very aware of my diet. Always buying organic and organic gardening. I have studied nutrition on my own and herbalism. Food is the first medicine. Your diet should keep your body in balance. If your body falls out of balance then you should turn to herbs as medicine. If you are not paying attention to your own body you may not realize that it is out of balance until you get sick with a chronic or acute condition. Herbs can still help, but western medicine starts becoming more necessary at this point.
Actually, food, yoga, meditation, and art are all tied for first place for medicine. The health of your body is influenced by the health of your subtle body. The health of your subtle body is influenced by the health of your thoughts and emotions.
The Buddha said that all suffering and all sickness and disease comes from ignorance that we are all one with everything. Indeed, in the science of longevity and physical immortality breathing and meditation are the cornerstone.
By realizing that we are all one and my commitment to reduce suffering as much as possible I will become a vegan. How selfish of me to justify the killing of an animal just because I like the taste! In fact, now that I gave up dairy cheese smells horrible. But I miss pizza
Healing is a great passion for me. I am interested in all forms of healing and therapies. I myself study Reiki and am third degree. I have had a few experiences using long distance reiki healing in dreams! This is always an amazing experience. I am especially good at healing the emotional or mental causes of physical disharmony. I use a method I discovered where I guide the client back to the time when the symptoms first manifested and heal whatever was going on in the client's life at the time.
We consume energy to live. We are rivers of energy. We should consume high quality energy in order to be healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Food is an energy we consume. We should not consume processed fast food. Ideas and thoughts are another energy we consume. We should make sure that the thoughts and ideas we consume are high quality also. We should refrain from mindless entertainment and especially movies or tv shows that are explicit in violence and suffering or any of the other poisonous emotions. These influence our dreams as well.


My reiki teacher is a raw-foodist. He is also into physical immortality. He is also a master lucid dreamer. He gives chiropractic adjustments over the telephone.
Someday, I may become a raw-foodist myself. But I don't think I can do that unless I live in a tropical place like Hawaii again. I kust don't feel right about buying all my food at the grocery store where it was picked before it was ripe and shipped, etc. If I was a raw-foodist I would only want to live off of local food, that is why I would have to live in Hawaii or Tahiti or Guam or Fiji or Vanuatu or maybe New Zealand! I would love to live in New Zealand (it is quite possibly the most beautiful place on Earth) but it is very very hard for foreigners to become full-time residents there. SO maybe I will find a nice island in the Caribbean or the Philippines or Thailand. But there are pirates over there. Okinawa would be nice but it is overcrowded and touristy also. I thought about Iceland but that is the opposite of what I am looking for here in this thread. I hear that there is a nice island off the coast of Puerto Rico that is shaped like a horseshoe or crescent. I don't want to live on the Canary islands even though hay muchas guapas por alli'.

Some shit channeled by Aleister Crowley:

I bear a message. Heaven hath sent the knowledge of a new sweet way into the secret element.
I am born on these blue wings into the essence of the All.
Now, now I stand on the Earth again,
Though, blazing through each nerve and vein,
the light yet holds its choral course,
filling my frame with fiery force,
Like God's. Now hear the Apocalypse
New-fledged on these reluctant lips!

I tremble like an aspen, quiver
Like light upon a rainy river!

Do what thy wilt! is the sole word
Of law that my attainment heard.
Arise, and lay thine hand on God!
Arise, and set a period Unto restriction!
That is sin:
To hold thine holy spirit in!
Oh thou who chafest at thy bars,
Invoke Nuit beneath her stars
With a pure heart (Her incense burned
Of gums and woods, in gold inurned)
And let the serpent therein
A little, and thy soul shall win
To lie within her bosom. Lo!
Thou wouldst give all----and she cries: No!
Take all, and take me! Gather spice
And virgins and great pearls of price!
Worship me in a single robe,
Crowned richly! Girdle of the Globe,
I love thee. Pale and purple, veiled,
Voluptuous, swan silver-sailed,
I love thee. I am drunkenness
Of the inmost sense, my soul's carress
Is toward thee! Let my priestess stand
Bare and rejoicing, softly fanned
By smooth-lipped acolytes, upon
Mine iridescent altar-stone,
And in her love-chant swooningly
Say evermore: To me! To me!
I am the azure-lidded daughter
Of sunset; the all-girdling water;
The naked brilliance of the sky
In the voluptuous night am I!
With song, with jewel, with perfume,
Wake all my rose's blush and bloom!
Drink to me! Love me! I love thee,
My love, my lord---to me! to me!

There is no harshness in the breath
Of this---is life surpassed, and death?

There is the Snake that gives delight
And knowledge, stirs the heart aright
With drunkenness. Strange drugs are thine
and draughts of wizard wine!
These do not hurt. Thine hermits dwell
Not in the cold secretive cell,
But under purple canopies
With mighty-breasted mistresses
Magnificent as lionesses---
Tender and terrible caresses!
Fire lives, and light, in eager eyes;
And massed huge hair around them lies.
They lead their hosts to victory:
In every joy they are kings; then see
That secret serpent coiled to spring
And win the world!

Etc...Etc... Yadda yadda
