Installing Love on the Human Computer:

Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to
install Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running ?

Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However,you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ?

Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me
how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been
completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not run on external components." What should I do?

Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before
you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming.
Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files.Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running.
One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

God/Tech Support: You're Welcome, Anytime.

Sprouter and sprouts

Man Made Fibers

Some info on man made fibres (fibers :) ) taken from a webpage on fabric identification (i.e. burning properties)

==

Acetate is made from cellulose (wood fibers), technically cellulose acetate. Acetate burns readily with a flickering flame that cannot be easily extinguished. The burning cellulose drips and leaves a hard ash. The smell is similar to burning wood chips.

Acrylic technically acrylonitrile is made from natural gas and petroleum. Acrylics burn readily due to the fiber content and the lofty, air filled pockets. A match or cigarette dropped on an acrylic blanket can ignite the fabric which will burn rapidly unless extinguished. The ash is hard. The smell is acrid or harsh.

Nylon is a polyamide made from petroleum. Nylon melts and then burns rapidly if the flame remains on the melted fiber. If you can keep the flame on the melting nylon, it smells like burning plastic.

Polyester is a polymer produced from coal, air, water, and petroleum products. Polyester melts and burns at the same time, the melting, burning ash can bond quickly to any surface it drips on including skin. The smoke from polyester is black with a sweetish smell. The extinguished ash is hard.

Rayon is a regenerated cellulose fiber which is almost pure cellulose. Rayon burns rapidly and leaves only a slight ash. The burning smell is close to burning leaves.

Hello blog, long time no see

Another stage of renovation of our flat is over, so after a couple of months of sleeping over at my friends' I'm back in my flat. We had our floor changed to cork in both rooms, and now, before we put back the furniture, I'd like to take advantage of the opportunity (quiero aprovechar de la oportunidad) and show you almost all the things related to the raw food diet, more ecological living in a city, spiritual growth and using the power of thought I use in my daily life (apart from fresh fruit and vegetables - not in the photos).

Different aspects of my life

My stationery:

Recycled paper notebooks, from Latvia and Thailand.

If you come across or decide to give me as a present pens that use NON-petrol ink, I'll really apreciate it!

My everyday jewellery: I prefer gem stones and silver.

The bracelet and little Buddha are bijou exceptions, but they were bought in a sacred cave temple in Thailand and I love them.

This chakra bracelet is the last gem stone thing I bought,

and it was in Tilburg, in one of the very nice shops they have there.

A friend of mine is interested in

silver and the litte rose in the photo is by him =) A wonderful present.

Food for thought: Some of the many books I've read on topics ranging from enzymes, vegan raw diet, amazing properties of water to energy flows in the body and universe, the power of thought, feeling good, feelings, intentions and positive affirmations.

Lately I've been listening to or watching lectures on the Internet.

What I really appreciate are the teachings of Abraham - Hicks and Bashar (it's contemporary channeling), EFT tapping technique with David Childerley.

Some of the many pictures and photos of places I want to go to or live in and things I want to have or use.

As for food for the body,I've been eating a lot of melons, peaches,

nectarines and grapes the last 3 months (90% of my food intake). I have an ozone cleaner for fruit and vegetables, especially good for grapes and other berries, dill, parsley. I try to buy food at local markets, and I use public transport. So this handcart (тележка) is very helpful. I'm going to try to sprout barley (ячмень), peas, popper and val beans (dolijos). I also have flax seeds, white and black sesame.

In August I went to Spain where I came across a wonderful bio shop where I bought an excellent sprouter, very good for sprouting buckwheat.


In the photos you can see what can be stored at home for a long time: seeds for future sprouting, nuts, pumpkins, algae. I do eat algae sometimes. I'm going to buy a 25 kg sack of buckwheat at antibludoman.ru. I'll do it as soon as they collect the harvest. Really looking forward to it! It's not only about taste, it's also about independence from the unpredictable government-market-weather conditions-etc.

Drinking: I do drink fresh juice. I know it's not very good and natural, but it's the only drink I can have when with friends in a café, apart from water. The summer (=dacha) season is over and I guess I'll use the destiller again. Now there are several bottles of water from the spring near Mozhaisk. This water tastes so good, it feels so pure. But my Dad won't go to Mozhaisk till next May. I haven't used stones (shungite etc) for some 4-5 months. But I think I will. And I bought a wonderful device a couple of months ago to structure water. It's copper and silver together, so there's a weak electricity flow in the water in a glass. Sometimes I have a bit of sea salt, coarse grey salt from Guérande or pink salt from the Himalayas. I have it separately, of course.

Sleeping: I'm sleeping on the floor, on a natural Thai latex matress (actually, I bought 4 thin pillows, and my Mum sewed them together).

Hygiene:There are a number of things not widely available and affordable in Moscow. Stuff to clean the WC or wash clothes not that harmful to our planet is an example. I bought it in the EU. It is avaiable at Carrefour in Belgium or in bio shops in the Netherlands.
When water and household soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3) aren't enough for my personal hygiene, I use special herb mixes in powder. I buy them in ayurvedic shops in Moscow.

When I see paper handkerchiefs packed not 10 separately but 100 together I buy them. I don't like so many plastic bags in my life but the vendors at the market or shop assistants think it's a high level of service to put even 2 peaches in a separate bag, uff.

Walking: I believe barefoot is best, and I really admire one guy from Minsk, Belarus, I know from the LiveJournal who walks barefoot

everywhere he can and carries with him a pair of shoes to put on where it's prohibited to be barefoot (the underground etc.)

My choice is using special shoes whenever I can. I bought them in Groningen, the Netherlands, 3 years ago, I think this is the most expensive pair of shoes I have. But they're really worth it.

MBT physiological footwear. Now this brand is in Russia too. The last time I was in Maastricht a couple of weeks ago I saw an old man riding his bike in similar shoes =)

Breathing: the air quality in Moscow is awful. When I am at the crossroads waiting for the green light, I automatically hold my breath.

Music: Mozart and classic, romantic, barocco music, Russian gusli (psaltery); rock and pop songs I loved many years ago. I know these are literally destructive for the body cells, so I measure out in doses (дозирую). No piano lessons since the beginning of summer.

Pyramid power:

Clothes: This summer I decided to buy clothes as natural as possible, preferably of bio cotton and/or linen. It isn't that easy! Many of the things I liked contain polyester, elastan etc. Nevertherless I managed to find 100% cotton, cotton+linen things. Not an easy task is to find you know what - socks! Producers add 5% elastan or similar almost everywhere.

Bathing house: Sometimes I have access to a Russian bathing house. This summer I went there 3-4 times and I loved the experience.

Animals: good news - I've got a friend with a dog and two friends with a cat and I go to their places regularly. Three weeks ago I walked the dog, the first time in my life! And I really love her. I find it easy to love pets now, but it's something really new for me. This dog came into my life several months ago. Before I loved only cats. During my trip to Thailand in March I felt the strength and the power of a phyton. And now I love dogs!

When I was in Belgium in September, I was invited, unexpectedly, to a countryhouse, and was very much surprised to find 3 dogs and 7 cats there! When it was dogs' time to walk they all ran about, and the largest one appeared to be the most social. He was taller than me when he stood up on his paws and he was very strong. But I wasn't afraid, not a second. He even jumped at me, hit me and I fell over on the grass and got a clour (шишка) on my forehead. But all I felt was love and joy and gratitude.

Quantum Touch: I had a short session of QT in Brussels. It was on my spine. Several years ago I got some nerve jamming in the upper back while stretching, and since then I've sometimes felt uncomfortable. Arlette worked on my back, but it's impossible to tell whether it has helped or not, as this uncomfortable feeling happens maybe 3-4 times a year.

In early November I'm in Brussels again, now to learn to run energy myself.

MMS: I'm very curious about MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution)! Ordered it from the UK to Tilburg but it hadn't arrived when came there. So I'll get it in November.

Fasting: I feel the need for abstaining from food quite often, my body wants less food and more water, but my head (my mind, my psyche etc) via my eyes and nose just won't let me! So, once a month, maybe 20-30 hours, and that's it.

Several weeks ago I woke up with just one word "лапидарно" (RU), I wasn't able to remember what it means, so I looked it up in the dictionary. I had never used this word and had had only a vague idea about the meaning. Today I woke up with the word "escaparate" (ES). I didn't manage to remember the meaning but when I looked it up I saw I had known it. My subconscious mind gives me little presents like these words :)

Physical activity

~Roller-blading, once a week. Learning and enjoying it a lot!

~Moving round Moscow a lot, really a lot, walking up and down the stairs and all escalators in the underground.

~Walking in the parks, once a fortnight.

EFT

I came across the emotional freedom technique (EFT) a month or so ago and I liked it very much. No idea how it works, but it makes me feel better =) Positive affirmations with tapping certain acupuncture points for several minutes. The best online resources I've seen so far are by David Childerley.

Tapping points

Articles

Articles on raw foods (answering all those questions on why-what-how)

Citrus

A couple of months ago I came across several blogs on fruitarianism and orange juice diet. The info there is both personal experience and overview of existing literature. And yesterday I learnt about a small-scale wholesale fruit&veg market not far from my place. I was in my Dad's car then and we decided to try and find that market. We found it easily, no traffic problems, very nice for Moscow =) This is what I have in my kitchen now:

So this week I'm eating mainly oranges and drinking orange juice.

Vitamin D

On vitamin D:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH1rB-Ya2UQ (1 hour interview)

Summary:

~vitamin D deficiency leads to all kinds of disorders and illnesses

~we need UVB to produce vitamin D by our skin

~the window glass blocks UVB, but lets in UVA which can cause us harm

~20 minutes full body exposure to the sun daily is what we need to get our necessary dose

~there are special supplements made of animal particles

~everybody living to the north of the 30th parallel should do something (she suggests taking that supplement)

As I'm against supplements, I really understand why many raw foodists move down to Thailand, Singapore, Ecuador... =)

======

So, just to have one list of things that make our life better in one place:

• Good nutrition (at least vegetarian, ideally raw mono diet)
• Exposure to the sun
• Good air
• Good water to drink and to wash
• Hygiene, body, clothes and flat, as natural as possible
• Regular physical activity
• Positive thinking
• Feeling gratitude
• People you feel good with around and no people you don't like around
• Harmonious sounds and music
• Having an aim and going for it
• Minimum plastic and bottles with chemicals around, natural furniture, cosmetics (if any), detergents (if any)

I'll add smth else when it comes to my mind. Any ideas? Please let me know!

~I like the taste of the distilled water I prepare at home. Drink at least 1 litre regularly, try to stick to the classical 2 litres.

~My mum's friend gave her a couple of kilos of dried plums that they'd got somewhere for cheap, and she ate a lot of them at a go. She doesn't think about SO2 etc, and here's the result: she's quite sick, with all the symptoms of intoxication. You'll never get this if you have apples or other really raw fruit.

~As I said I don't feel ready for fruitarianism, so after 3 weeks without the leafy greens I'm enjoying them again. And not only the greens, sprouts too. Bought young sunflower shoots - and liked them a lot! Thick and crunchy.

~Synchronicity:

I've been thinking of ways to wash my hair naturally for a while. Today received a newsletter I'm subscribed to, and there was an interview with a 50y.o. woman who's been living a relatively natural lifestyle for the last 10 years. She gave some tips on several issues, including washing one's hair. Then I read LiveJournal, and one of my virtual friends asked advice on washing his hair.

So, I tried washing my hair with bicarbonate of soda (2 spoonfuls per 500 ml of lukewarm or hot or very hot water) and rinsing it with lemon juice (half a lemon, squeeze, strain, 500 ml of lukewarm water), and I like the result!

Distilled water in Moscow

My beloved Moscow is definitely NOT a place to live, it's a place to make money or visit as a tourist. I realized it several years ago and tried living in several other places, quieter, smaller and less crowded, with better air, better water.

When I came back from Thailand I couldn't make myself drink the tap water. So during the entire fortnight I drank perhaps 4 litres of bottled water. Now that I have a distiller and I liked the water from it, I hope to drink more.

I want to share with you a couple of pics I took yesterday when the distilling process was coming to an end. Just compare the colours & transparency of the water in the flask and the jar...

March 2010

~After coming back from Thailand I decided to try and continue being fruitarian for some time. My food list is so short right now!

grapes (usually dark)

oranges

tangerines

apples

tomatoes

cucumbers

I know it's all not seasonal in my area and I'm really looking forward to June-July-August-September, when there are cherries, good tomatoes and cucumbers, and peaches, mmm.

I don't think I'm ready to stop eating the greens completely and after just 1 month without them I feel like having some lettuce and dill.

~Since childhood my lungs have been the weakest part of my body, so whatever dis-ease is around, my lungs are affected. From the books by Batmanghelidj I learnt about dehydration and I believed Dr B. So I'm aware of the reason - my water consumption is again very low because all of a sudden I just didn't like the taste. I really hope I'll get used to distilled water.

http://www.watercure.com/

~I came across a great source of knowledge and inspiration on youtube. Starting from here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhDlXhDjjsE It's amazing (well, actually not - everything we need comes at the right time) how my thinking and my view of the world is in line with hers on so many topics. From her I learnt about quantum touch. This is something I'm going to learn!

~I downloaded a film which they say is a good continuation of The Secret. Looking forward to watching it.

~ During the last couple of weeks I walked several times for some 4 hours. At last I walked for more than 1 hour. Good.

~I usually remember to be grateful for everything in my life, I'm working on forgiving, started with myself. Oh, that's so powerful! They say it's a way to clean the emotional body. And I feel changes.

My way to thank the world for the money is basically a mix of Bob Proctor and Jasmuheen's wording. "I am so happy and grateful now that money comes to me readily and easily in increasing quantities, through multiple sources, on a continuous basis, in dollars, euros, pounds, rubles, bahts, francs, yen, pesos etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you".

Distiller!

A flat-bottomed flask on the stove top. My kitchen looks like a lab =) It's my experiment. Didn't want to spend too much money on it. Although I believe water is the primary source of energy for the body and it's worth investing even a small fortune, I can't afford 1500 euros to buy an automatic glass distiller. And I didn't want to buy a plastic one. Well, I may give it a second thought now as it takes a lot of time (and cold water) to get just 1 litre. ~2h

He's 75 y.o.. I wish my parents were that energetic when they are 75...

Back from Thailand. Mamma mia, I want to move there... to try to live there for some 6 months...

~ Good energies: temples, caves, waterfall, sea, sun

~ Fruit paradise: watermelon, dragonfruit, mango, pineapple; bananas; tomatoes

~ People: easy-going, respectful, helpful, with sincere smiles

~ Country: good roads, good prices, good quality, good value for money

~ I haven't learnt to meditate but I did feel energy in some temples/caves

~ I'm no longer afraid of snakes, I even touched and petted a small python

~ Fruitarian for 2 weeks, feels great

Moscow? Why am I here?

Guys in shorts =)

I recall some moments from great old days in Holland when I just got acquainted with Owen and heard someone say "ah, that Canadian guy in shorts" =) Living in a northern country, although with a very mild climate, he wore shorts 3/4 of the year (right, Owen? how is it now, in Spain?) That looked weird to me, as in Russia parents tell children to wrap up and the vast majority of kids are wrapped up sooo well that we get used to it and put on a lot of clothes when we grow up.

Now I'm leaving off the habit of wrapping up and I need less clothes to feel fine in the Moscow winter. But I'm far from wearing shorts in a -20C frost. And there are people who do that!

For example, Алексей Мартынов, a raw foodist, singer and animal advocate (in RU), or Jericho Sunfire, now a breatharian, personal trainer (in EN) (well, Jericho hasn't been exposed to such low temperatures, but still he wears shorts when there's snow)

Stages in diet

omnivore -> ... vegetarian -> strict vegetarian=vegan -> raw foodist -> mono raw foodist -> fruitarian -> liquidarian -> breatharian

In this chain, the diet is getting lighter and lighter.

The body goes through intense cleansing during the raw stages, intuition improves, and it will signal you when you are ready to stop eating, but not before the physical health has been gained.

Where am I in this transition? It's somewhere here: raw foodist -> mono raw foodist -> fruitarian

The No-Breakfast Plan by Edward Hookey Dewey

~ Reincarnation

In the book I'm reading the author highlights the difference between reincarnation and transmigration of the soul. By the former he means returning to earth being reborn in human form. By the latter he means returning to earth in the form of trees, animals, birds, rocks, or human. Well, there're other definitions of these terms, but the important thing for me here is that Dr. Newton says he hasn't come across transmigration in his practice, which has been a good one!, and he was told that human souls live separately and reincarnate in human form only.

According to Edgar Cayce, humans are not reborn as animals.

However, according to many ancient beliefs and religions, we are.

From the http://animalcommunicatorforum.com/ I learnt that animals do change species when they return to earth. But I haven't found info about humans born as animals. Maybe I'll ask somebody on that forum.

I'm a bit confused now :) Nevertheless, it doesn't change cosiness of my reality=)

~Learning to respect

I want to learn to respect, especially my parents. All religions say parents must be respected, but I just don't feel the respect. I look at my parents like at people who gave birth to me this time and who know more about me than the others, and yet they don't know me, and there's nothing special, no that love I felt in my childhood, and I notice all their drawbacks and weaknesses.

~ 2 in 1: shame and gratitude

I feel pity and care for our planet, animals and plants, even stones and rocks! And I've already overcome that stage when I hated people for what they do to the world and themselves, although I still feel ashamed sometimes because of belonging to this group (humans). And many times I ask our planet, and animals, and trees to forgive us, humans, for what we've done, we've been doing, and are going to do, and will do, and thank the Earth for letting us live here.

Food/Thoughts/Interests

~ My current food habits

I eat once or twice a day, but I 1)overeat and 2) I eat very late, after 23, when I come home.

The body needs some rest, it sleeps at night, it doesn't work, thus all that undigested food, no good.

~My current food preferences

bananas !!!

tangerines !!!

parsley !!!

apples !

red pepper

green onion !!!

lettuce

buckwheat

No juice. It's not that I'm against it, no. But somehow I don't need it now.

~ Water: OK, 2 l a day

As I eat in the evening or at night, I can drink water whenever I want during the day, and I do.

~ Bronnikov

*This week, 8.02-12.02.10, I took part in a training to improve my sensitivity to energies, to give an impulse to developing the right side of my brain. It's a very short training, 4 hours a day, 5 days in a row, but even in this very short period I've experienced so much and I'm so grateful for that!

*Of course, I want to be able to see without eyes as can children in the video, to control my energy fields, to heal, but my current abilities are very far from these powers. The other trainees were more sensitive than me in the majority of exercises, my energy channels are seriously blocked :(. I'm happy I started to feel something, but with the help of visualisation while the exercise is on mere feeling. A lot to work on.

~ Physical exercise

I want to do something! Not that I know I should, I want to do it! A qualitative change.

~ Death

*I'm reading a book by Dr. Michael Newton on the life of souls after death of the physical body. He hypnotically regressed his clients to a point between lives--after death, but before birth. He shares the knowledge he got from years of research, i.e. of his hypnotherapy practice, in several books. Maybe they're popular in the US, but it's the first time I've come across them. Very interesting. And one of his patients told him an old but simple truth - the only important thing in this "material" world is our way of life and how we treat each other. Our social status, our circumstances don't matter at all, what matters is compassion and acceptance of others.

*According to the Vedic beliefs, everything natural has a soul - a human; an animal, a reptile etc.; a flower etc.; a stone etc. And depending on the 'sins' and necessities of each soul's development, the next time it's on Earth it chooses the right type of body. Well advanced souls don't return to the Earth. In Buddhism an advanced, enlightened soul frees from the Saṃsāra wheel of suffering (i.e. frees from being born on Earth again). So there's a goal in life - to become enlightened.

I believe in reincarnation, and so Newton's book is lying onto a well-prepared ground =).

~ 2012

I'm really interested in the "mystery of 2012", but I'm not afraid because I share the view about the qualitative change in (human) consciousness and appearance of a new human (the next level of our evolution, so to speak), which actually is a gradual process and is already happening (all the indigo and crystal children, more people awakening etc.). I hope there won't be any planetary alignment-specific natural disasters etc. on our planet, but I like the idea of the survival of people with higher levels of consciousness. Thus, spiritual growth is the path.

~ Animals and animal communication

*My dad read some books by Blavatsky 10-15 years ago, and I read several pages. It was very interesting but hard to understand. Later I was trying to understand the differences between man and animal (in all aspects) and found her essay "Have Animals Souls?". Much later I read different theories/beliefs, and now I believe everybody has soul.

*I've just learnt about animal communicators. It's amazing. The story about horses impressed me a lot. I'd love to be able to communicate with animals!

~ Dreams, sleeping, visualisation

*I've read a lot about the essence of dreams and the potential of using dreaming to change one's life. There're different theories and different ideas on that. Nevertheless many psychologists, psychiatrists, modern brain researchers, astral travellers, healers agree on the fact that something's going on there when we sleep, not just resting.

*Well, the body needs rest, of course. Those who experienced different unfavourable life conditions say hunger and thirst are not comparable with sleep deprivation. My personal record of staying awake is about 36 hours, and I felt really bad then.

*However, there's another important function of sleep. [B]est current hypothesis is that human require sleep to properly accumulate and apply what we learn. We need it to process all the new information we receive during the day. And information isn't just numbers or words, it's virtually everything - sounds/noises, movements, gestures... - all the signals from the world that we notice.

*Many say when you sleep your soul/astral body travels to different places or even different worlds, and one can learn to do it. I've read a book on how to start but I'm afraid to do it without personal assistance and support from somebody experienced. So I leave it for now.

*Then, they say it's the period of time when you can plan your future, receive answers, solve problems. If you want to learn a poem by heart, do it before you go to bed. If you're thinking over a problem all day long, you might get an answer/a solution in your dream or next morning or at one of the many microsleeps we have during the day. It works.

*Recently I've learnt one nice technique - instead of repeating affirmations (which don't work under many conditions) simply make a special why-question out of this affirmation and ask it yourself before falling asleep. For example, I am healthy becomes Why am I healthy? Our subconscious part will find its reasons and as a result you will become healthy with due time. I'm going to practise this one.

*One morning last week I woke up with a clear understanding of how to call myself when I want to communicate with the real I. Olen'ka. That's so sweet =) (it's a pet name for Olga)

*I haven't learnt to meditate yet, but when I close my eyes I start seeing many vivid pictures, one after another, or films or cartoons, in bright colours. I like it very much. But as I learnt at the Bronnikov centre training, there's a problem - I don't usually control it, it just starts. So I'm going to learn to give orders myself and stop it if I don't have a full control.

~ Aims and goals

The importance of having a goal in life has been talked over here and there, but still not everybody understands what he really wants to achieve - it's really hard to hear what your soul wants! I haven't realised what they are by now, but I have invented some nice goals for me =) and I'm happy about that =) But 1) I forget to think about them regularly and don't have a plan of how to achieve them, so the steps I'm taking may not coincide with my optimal path. 2) My goals are in the field of spiritual and physical development, I don't want to think about money while I have to.

get prepared to give birth =)

Got a piano! Rönisch.

January 2010

~

buckwheat (sprouts and just soaked) !!! ~2.5 kg/month

red pepper (paprika) !!!

bananas !!!

lettuce (Iceberg, "салат листовой в горшочке") !!!

apples !!

parsley /dill /coriander (just a bit this month)

tangerines

pineapples

The list of items is getting shorter every month!

water at least 1 l a day, usually 2 and more

~

Felt cold several times, and it wasn't -24C, it was -15C. So it doesn't really depend on the weather per se, but on all these changes in my body and perception that are going on.

~

Found a nice way of washing hair: using shikakai (Acacia Concinna)

Not really raw, but still natural: boil several halves in 1 l of water for 15 minutes (the water becomes brownish), then let it get lukewarm, squeeze well the halves so that they give all their soapy properties to the water (the most important part is the inside).

~

Found a wonderful piano teacher and had the first lesson! Talked to one person who wanted to sell her piano and gonna get it next week!

~ Meet a 70+ y.o. vegan raw foodist Mimi Kirk.

In this interview she doesn't talk about eating raw, only about being vegan:

Here she talks about her raw diet:

Возрадуйся, душа 2

Первый раз побывала в церкви на отпевании. Очень понравилось пение и очень не понравились запахи. Я попрощалась с душой Натальи, которая, я уверена, была там же, и очень искренне просила у неё прощения, если я негативно на неё повлияла. Через полчаса после начала мне резко стало плохо физически, с мамой вышли на улицу. Через несколько минут это прошло и мы вернулись в церковь. После окончания я поехала на работу; я шла к метро и искренне благодарила всех и вся за многие вещи (например, Бога за такую красоту на улице и возможность мне видеть и наслаждаться ею), мне было эмоционально хорошо. Через некоторое время заметила, что ощущение груза, эмоциональной тяжести в животе, которое я испытывала с момента, как узнала о её уходе из жизни, исчезло! И сейчас, когда я пишу этот пост, я чувствую, что она меня простила. Мне кажется, что тот момент в церкви, когда мне стало плохо, как-то с этим связан; возможно, именно тогда она забрала у меня эту тяжесть.

Возрадуйся, душа

Только что первый раз в сознательной жизни столкнулась со смертью знакомого человека. Позвонил лучший школьный друг и сказал, что умерла его мама. Она страдала от рака, прошла часть химиотерапии. Но информация о сыроедении и методе Бройса дала ей надежду. Моя мама говорит, она держалась, не то чтобы с ярковыраженным оптимизмом, но не унывала. У неё была уже очень запущенная стадия рака, с серьёзными метостазами в лёгких. И вот в 18 часов сегодня её не стало среди нас. Аминь.

А что со мной? Сколько раз я читала и сама думала, что смерть - это не грустно, наоборот, душа встречается с Богом, испытывает чувство единения, бесконечности, Любви. Значит, и на Земле мы должны радоваться, что душа вернулась домой. Но я не испытываю радости. Пустота. И эмоциональная тяжесть в районе солнечного сплетения. Очень неприятная тяжесть. Хочется сложить руки, как ученики за партой, хочется ладонь держать в районе этой чакры. Когда ладонь убираю, становится тяжелее.

У меня появилось чувство вины. Вдруг, это я приблизила её уход? Вдруг, на химических лекарствах она прожила бы дольше? Я не знаю. Никто не знает, естественно. Другие скажут: "Да и что это за жизнь, когда всё болит?" Но меня эта мысль о возможности моей вины угнетает.

Слушаю мантры, православные молитвы, поставлю классическую музыку. Надеюсь, полегчает. Надеюсь, это только моя первая неправильная реакция, и сейчас я соберусь духом и смогу радоваться за неё и молиться. Я не умею молиться, но теперь есть повод научиться.

My 1st post in 2010

~ С Рождеством Христовым!

~ I got hooked on buckwheat sprouts. Yesterday I had no (raw) buckwheat left and ordered some on the web. Today I went to meet one of the assistants of that online store www.i-mne.com and while I was texting him on my way my fingers felt really cold - the first time this winter, finally! And it's only -15C.

~ I was given a CD of Rapid Portuguese Earworms (Musical Brain Trainer) as a present, tried it and couldn't listen to it. My reaction to music has changed a lot, and there are many examples (pieces of music, genres) I can't stand. I start feeling uncomfortable, and if the music doesn't stop - then really bad (emotionally). An unexpected thought came to my mind: we must have a right to quietness! And I'm not talking about housing areas from 23 to 7 (Moscow law)! But near the majority of Moscow metro stations one can hear several songs of different genres, usually very loud, and there are no rules about it, and nobody seems to care. I never cared, until now...
