Many people think that raw foods are like a magic pill to their weight, health or even emotional issues.

While it is true to a great extent that diet plays an integral role in health & wellness, and that miracles can happen when a person adjusts his diet intelligently, it is a misconception to think that this is ALL there is to it.

In fact, diet is only the beginning. This is the elementary level before we can talk about extraordinary health, and sustainable emotional & mental breakthroughs.

For instance, when we are feeling lousy after some deep fried fast foods, itching caused by outbreaks from seafood/pesticides food, or hanging over from last night’s alcohol binge, how much do we really want to evolve spiritually? How strong a presence can we call our minds to?

We know that eating crops grown in the same sunlight that we are exposed to gives us more benefits than crops imported from a distance. If we stay near the equator, we can better assimilate the nutrients present in crops that are grown near the equator.

It is increasingly difficult not to notice that I as a human being, am quite insane.

I assign labels to everything, give meanings to everything that happens, make up a story for everything & anything and then act out the stories one after another.

On a human collective level, we agree that Red is Red, Square is Square, Water is Water, etc – all using language. Language is also a Universal Agreement, which we subscribe to. The moment we learn to speak as kids, we are enrolled in at least 1 language system.

It was the last night of our training in India; and miraculously enough, it fell on a full moon. We woke naturally at 3.45am to a room flooded with beautiful moonlight. The round moon was in full view where we are lying – if it’s not for the glass frames and curtains, it would seem as if we are sleeping right under the moon itself.

While waiting to board the plane at the airport, Jolyn (my team mate whom has become somebody very dear & precious to me now) sparked a discussion that was to keep me awake for a good many nights.
