Planets spinning through space

Smile upon your face :)

Welcome to the human race

Smiling

I am pleased to write that my overeating seems to have ceased. I'm still eating large quantities, but by no means am I stuffing myself late into the night the way I was doing. I'm guessing this can be attributed to 2 things:

1. The parasite or kidney cleansing herbs? Perhaps the parasites in my body are no longer eating so much of my food and hence I am not always craving food.

2. Information from the Bhagavad Gita. According to Krishna, the only desire for one seeking the path of enlightenment is the desire for Self realization. Desire for food belongs to this worldly realm of the unreal, and so it is neither a worthwhile desire nor is it a duty to my body to feed it when its is not even hungry.

When I've been getting the munchies, or if I'm hungry and impatient to get home to eat, I say to myself, "The hunger I experience is a hunger for God within."

This seems to have kept my overeating under control! :)

On another note, I am perplexed by the difference between the spiritual traditions, so to speak. I guess I have my fingers dipped in 3 of them - the Indian, Western and New Age traditions (if there IS a new age tradition!) I can see how the Indian & Western traditions come very much to the same path, even if they adopt different approaches, but the information given by Kryon in the New Age approach can really make me wonder.

I guess the main difference is that in the New Age there is so much self-empowerment to take. It feels fantastic when I do it by giving intent and verbalizing, but when I cross other traditions, such as when reading the Bhagavad Gita or when exploring the Clairvision information, I feel a little obnoxious claiming such power for myself.

Yet, I resonate most closely with the Kryon information. I feel the most love and compassion as I read it, and I guess, as Kryon says, THINGS HAVE CHANGED ON OUR PLANET OF FREE WILL! :D

Still, it surprises me that there can be such a difference between the teachings existing at the same time on earth, vis a vis a walking avatar, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and a live channel of Kryon.

Zen Xin

Energy levels have run real low and poop has gone all squishy into day 4 of Dr Hulda Clark's parasite & kidney cleansing program. There's a lot to follow- a potion to drink throughout the day and different pills to be swallowed at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I went to Zen Xin organic supermarket today - its at the Pasir Panjang wholesale center, right opposite the Kopitiam. Its 3 weeks since opening. I must say its the first place I've come across that'll give Nature's Glory a real run for their money - prices are about the same but the store is bigger & brighter with a seemingly wider range of organic vegetables. They also have more "local" vegetables than Nature's Glory. Nature's Glory is still a kick ass shop though - if you haven't visited it, check it out at Tan Boon Liat Building on Outram road.

Started reading Jack Hawley's Bhagavad Gita yesterday. I've been riveted to it.

Dr Hulda Clark's Parasite & Kidney Cleanses

Ok, so I ordered 3 cleanses - parasite, kidney & liver. Before one can start on the liver cleanse it is recommended to do the other 2 first (which go on concurrently for 3 weeks). I started with the regime this morning... it is rather complicated and there are many things to swallow. Here is an outline of the regiment.

Yummy Thali

I was in Puttaparthi to see Swami for several days, and my fruit & vegetable (plentiful) diet soon caved in to delicious South Indian Thalis on the menu, and the occasional yummy prasad that was given out some days. My skin is in breakout mode now.

I am trying to cut down on the fat... my fat intake has been up around 50% of my (raw) daily calories. I haven't been finding it easy, but perhaps if I start using more lettuce/broccoli/carrots/cucumbers instead of flax crackers to eat dips with, this should help greatly.

The workout has been going on schedule, and the muscles have stopped aching so severely now (Thanks! It was ridiculous hobbling around after last week's leg workout)

Read through Kryon Book VII (twice!) since being in Puttaparthi. I love, love, love Kryon.

Received my package from Dr. Hulda Clark - I ordered stuff for parasite cleanse, kidney cleanse and liver cleanse. Starting on the parasite cleanse today.

Packing more calories

I've started trying to put on some weight using Jonathan Perez's guide "From skinny to muscular" - which Fred Patenaude recommends in "Raw Secrets". The philosophy is basically to lift heavy weights (working muscles to the point of failure by 12 reps) and to eat huge amounts of food - at least 4,000 calories for someone like me.

I started with my training schedule on Monday, and yesterday I started trying to pack in the calories - I managed a whopping 4,900 calories, and I was exhausted last night, still exhausted now. My digestion is not working from eating so much. This is where my calories came from - not all raw (Mexican dinner, vegetarian at least, at Margarita's. Very yum though!)

Food Name Cals
Watermelon, raw (1 whole) 1309
Papaya, raw (1 whole) 119
Pomelo, raw (4 cups) 288
Mango, raw (2 mangos) 269
Raw Pumpkin Pie (1 slice) 484
Igor's Live Flax Bread (9 squares) 387
Steamed Sweet Potato (One 2"x5") 103
Raw Pine nuts (Pignolias) (1/4 cup) 195
Apple, raw (3 sm apples) 188
4 Enchiladas with beans, meatless 825
1/2 cup Spanish rice 108
2 cups Vegetable soup, Spanish style, stew type 382
1 cup Refried beans 242
Totals 4897

I worked this out using www.fitday.com , a very cool site indeed.

Anyway, this morning I decided that I couldn't keep up with this kind of eating. Yesterday I dedicated 75% of my energy to eating and calculating calories... I was really eating non stop, and its difficult to keep up. Last night I felt sick. Today I feel sick. My face is bloated and my right eye is even smaller than usual. No way!

So I'm going back to eating as intuitively as possible, following just Jonathan's training schedule without the his nutritional recommendations. Let's see where it goes!

Day 30

Today I celebrated a whole month of pure rawness :D

And what did I do? I ate some cooked food of course :P

In previous months when I had my weekly un-raw day, I would go crazy, eating stuff like pizza, sirloin steak, ice cream - and to add insult to injury - just cramming the stuff down like a glutton's last day on earth.

Today however, I had my usual garden green salad at Yogi Hub, along with their delicious broccoli soup and a few slices of steamed pumpkin. Hmm... very satisfying.

Upon getting home I still had room for a few more oh-so-sweet black halvah balls! And then more for some macadamias and cashews. Ho ho.

Day 28

Tummy's still kind of upset so I'm eating simpler - papayas are really nice right now and I'm been living on them mainly. Real sweet with a fragrant vanilla scent.

I started reading Jonathan Perez's ebook "From skinny to muscular", as recommended by Frederic Patenaude. His workout schedule looks great, and I think I'll use it - but as for diet & nutrition... hmm... I look the other way.

Its day 28 - almost 1 month of pure raw!

Day 27

My knees hurt today and I'm a little constipated. I'm not feeling so well overall really...

Marshall Rosenburg's book is a mind-blower!

Day 26

Gosh, if I look at everything I've eaten today:
1 mango
Smoothie consisting of 2 oranges, 1 mango, 2 bok choys, bunch of parsley and 1 cucumber
A huge salad with tamari/lemon dressing
Slice of date nut torte
2 pieces of papaya
A tray of Igor's flax bread
Zuchini pasta w marinara sauce
A whole bowl of zuchini hummus (this is quite delicious)

I overate so badly. Can't move.
