Been very involved in family matters so didn’t write for a few days.  I’m very open in this journal about what is going on for me - it’s odd i don’t usually feel self-conscious about it but don’t like to talk about other people’s personal lives on it.

Had very interrupted sleep last night with the gales somehow getting into my dreams- in the middle of the night realised i had left a duvet out to ‘air’ in the garden and it was flapping about soaked.  Went to get it and the cat was lurking about looking for food.  It all felt very surreal.

The crystal manna makes me feel very open - similar to when i have lots of wild greens in spring.  Seems to do something quite specific to my brain - i feel more ‘lucid’ - like things i sensed vaguely become crystal clear.  I can feel the ‘grid’ the electromagnetic grid, the energetic grid of the town and the energy fields created by the house sometimes.  Sometimes i feel a bit traumatised by living in a town anyway (although it was definitely the right thing to do overall to move here) but then connecting with the wonderful botanicals from the shop reestablishes that link with the energy of living things, plants, nature, that i so miss so i feel so happy that i’ve ended up selling mostly real plants, in their complete from (just powdered) in Ocean Waves shop. Going round to Ken’s and seeing all the wonderful new stuff he has imported - a feast for all the senses.  I will be adding some new products soon including a ‘dream tea’.  Surely it’s worth being raw even just to be sufficiently sensitive enough to have such subtle energetic experiences with these botanical substances.

Speaking to Robbie last night and i was telling him about some of the experiments i have been doing with zeolite recently - trying taking it with food that i know would normally make me feel groggy and see how i felt the next morning.  (I’m too embarrassed to discuss what i ate!).  It was astonishing at how much difference it made  - how much it stopped me feeling the effects of horrible food.  So look out for Robbie’s and my new zeolite recipe book  with such delights as Mars Bars deep fried in Batter with a zeolite layer, zeolite coated chips, spaghetti with zeolite sprinklings, zeolite gateau with margarine and monosodium glutamate and  so forth…

For real have  a lovely new bread recipe - savoury kamut bread - we have been eating it still soft and warm from the dehydrator.  Recently have wanted to include raw sprouted breads quite regularly.  In a sense, we are creating a raw, high-energy equivalent to a traditional diet.  There is some sense in this - cooked diets have evloved to work after a fashion - this way i feel there is less likelihood of missing any obvious nutrients (raw is experimental to some extent still) and also the emotional comfort and making it easier for people to change to raw.  The children are particularly keen on these breads.  They make me feel a bit full up but overall the nutrition is valuable.  Always this balance between eating for lightness of spirit whilst still getting the nutrition we need.

just found another good thing about zeolite today - i had very little sleep last night and it’s really helping me. One of the reasons for discomfort with lack of sleep is more toxins circulating in the body.  Partly becasue they are dealt with while we sleep, partly because lack of sleep can trigger a bir of a detox.  As zeolite helps move toxins out the link is obvious.  Of course one reason why it’s easier t go without sleep on raw is that there are less toxins to deal with.

Had  a look at articles on David Wolfe’s website yesterday for the first time in ages.  Favourite quote ‘If you don’t like vegetables start liking vegetables’.  I always used to get frustrated when people would say that they didn’t like my green soup. (This is my only recipe that is not designed to taste amazingly nice - honest)  I would just think that isn’t the point.  You need the nutrition and when your body gets it it will start liking it and want more of the same.  Ditto children.  I used to be astonished when parents told me their child didn’t eat vegetables.  I used to think, even when Bruce and Jazz were young and i didn’t know about raw - ‘live with me and they would!’  A bit harsh? - not really - we cannot afford to take our cue from that world out of there where we can be manipulated for others agendas.  We as a matter of course make choices for our young children - they do not have the means to sort it all out themselves so it is our responsibillity to make as informed choices as we can for them until they, at a certain age, they make it pretty obvious to us that they are making themselves responsible for their choices.  It makes for happier children than leaving them totally open to what’s thrown at them.

We so need to be proactive if we want true happiness.  How long can we resist this urge?.  Just found this clip about how some ways we have been persuaded to want things that won’t make us truly happy - because so much of our minds are unconscious:

this is also very interesting.
