    lt could well be. We are all at different levels. Some people can meditate 22 hours a day, but it doesn't mean they are gurus. Some people who meditate 2 hours are can be further down the path than more devoted meditators.

A couple months ago I would spend entire days lying in the grass watching insects and other creatures just living their lives, and if they crawled all over me I didn't care one bit.

    We're all in this together, and really we're all one. Killing ANY living being is committing an unpardonable offense and harming yourself + everything else on the planet. I don't even meditate (well, not Quan Yin meditation), I've just had such a huge expansion in consciousness and spirituality due to eating sprouts + drinking green sprout juice.

    Clean out your body, feed it the nutrition it needs, and stop putting toxins + drugs in it and it's amazing what happens. The main purpose of the drugs and toxins in our food + water lower is to lower your spirituality and make it very hard to be compassionate and see what is really going on in the world.

    I love every living being on the Earth (including the Earth) so much that it's sometimes overwhelming. Life is better then my wildest dreams.
    WOW Living Food, you have GOT IT! That's what the sprout diet is all about. lt connects you with EVERYTHING!!!

    l've been out picking blueberries and spiders crawl over my hands, but l don't feel afraid because l feel at one with them and everything in the universe.

They always used to run away whenever they heard me (and still run away from anyone else), but they let me get very close now and sometimes I get the treat off sitting within 10 feet of a group of deer while they eat their breakfast unconcernedly. I would join them if I could find a way to use my manual juicer out in the woods, then we could all eat weeds and grass together.
    Since all plants and animals are electromagnetic you would have a connection with them, but you aren't advanced enough to be able to speak with them yet (either am l), but some old souls can talk to animals and plants.

    You have finally worked it all out and you are on your way to great things. You think life is good now?..just imagine how great life will be when we leave this prison planet. That's why we never want to live forever on this planet, because life is so much better in other worlds. lf you read that sleeper thread l gave you, your spirituality will soar even higher and you be changed forever. That sleeper thread has worked wonders on me.

    Thanks for the great post Living Food, it was beautiful to read.

    p.s: l have another Sleeper thread along with his two books to send you soon, this will do the most complete job that we could wish for, but it will still create more questions than answers, but it will put you well ahead of the game because you have been one of the chosen few to come across this information. About 1,000 pages in all, and among the best 1,000 pages will ever read. This is straight from E.T about all the greatest secrets of the universe. Ya know...some things are so bizarre in other universes that souls can even be inserted into machines or dead bits of wood so they become living entities, it's beyond crazy.

    When you read this these sleeper threads you will know that no human being could ever be making this stuff up, it's far to crazy and beyond human imagination to ever go there.
    You think some of these fairy tales in stories are made up? Well in my experience some of the most bizarre stuff is actually a reality. My guess is that many of these crazy writers didn't have great imaginations, they were experiencing other dimensions and writing about them. You wouldn't believe the crazy looking creatures that walk this planet...stuff from fairy tales man. *smile*

    you don't have to eat only sprouts to be a good/kind person. And when it comes to talking to plants and animals, well we can all do that. What you mean perhaps is understanding when they talk back. We can all do that too if we listen. It doesn't need a sprout only diet either.

    true to all, but shallow souls need all the help they can get to become deep souls. The sprout diet is excellent for ordinary men to become great men, better than any other diet me think. You are obviously an older soul than what l am, but boy oh boy have l come such a long way, l have been reborn again.

    yes, understanding when plants and animals talk back. l have a cat and l can read her like a book, l never would have been able to do that once.

    Late edit: btw, l was incorrect to say that meditating with your partner is unconductive spiritually. Two or more people meditating togeather is better than one usually. When a whole group meditates togeather the power can be HUGE!!!...many many times the power of one, but sometimes people can get distracted by the noises of others when they meditate in a group.

    Just wanted to say, snails are so cute because l love how the carry their shells on their back. Such old creatures. l dislike it very much when l step on them by accident, but at least the intention to kill isn't there.

    I found a small snail the other day snailing in a very dangerous place so I picked him up to put him somewhere safe. We had a brief chat as he crawled to the top of my finger. I introduced him to my bf and then put him down in the hedge - the snail, not my bf!

    beautiful, simply beautiful. When they crawl all over my sprouts l pick them up and relocate them on the other side of the yard while l talk to them and gently put them down. Since the weather has got warmer l have notice those big fat slugs are starting to turn up again, they get into everything, morning and night l will find about eight lodged into my sunflower greens and wheatgrass, they love the sunflower greens the most. Gotta wash my sprouts to get all the goo off them.

    I'm not fond of the slugs like I am the snails but I don't kill them. There is only one thing I have difficulty not killing. Mosquitoes when they are in the bedroom and trying to eat me! I'm working on that one.

    Good point. I wasn't talking about the meditation though, but rather the "partner" aspect.

    You can have a partner without having sex all the time if that's what you mean and they were meditating 22 hours a day when would they have had time?

    Another very good point; I hadn't slept for the last couple of days (too much to do), my brain wasn't working quite like it should have.

    Even sproutarians have to sleep sometimes.

    An interesting fact, most people will die within a week to 10 days of not sleeping at all (advanced meditators being exempt), but after just 3 to 5 days nearly anyone will go insane (advanced meditators still exempt). It's a pity sleep is so important, it really does cut into the work you could get done in a 24-hour period.

    Sleep is important but takes up less time than meditating. It should be possible, with discipline/practice to combine the two for maximum benefit and efficiency.

    I have to say this has not been the case for me. I did 100% raw vegan from 2003 to 2010 and I needed about 8 hours a night to feel rested. But I didn't do any cleanses during that time which I'm doing now so that might have made a difference. I have to say that I agree in theory that it would make sense, the less toxic you are the less sleep you need.

    Dr. Rubin Naiman has done a lot of cutting edge and pioneering work on the subject of sleep. Check his stuff out!

    Mr Raw (or anyone else), do you know of any way I could use a manual juicer in the woods? I'm thinking I might be able to bring something sturdy to clamp it onto, but I don't know what would work.

    Living Food and Mystic Tree:

    Orgasm during sexual relations is the highest physical sensation we can experience in this world, but `samadhi' during meditation is a higher sensation and explains why people can meditate for long periods of time. There is this nun who goes out to the woods and plans to meditate for the day, but she often goes into samadhi and ends up returning home a week later. Samadhi is the highest possible sensation we can experience on Earth, and when one goes into constant samadhi (even when awake) they need to leave their partner because they are at the level where physical attachment is far outweighed by the spiritual. This is why various Yogi's will leave their wife and job and go into the forest to meditate...they are at such a high level that the Earth pleasures have no appeal or hold on them and they live in a high level spiritual world.

    l don't even kill mosquitoes, l would rather get bitten and come up in welts that kill them, but l wasn't always like that. lt takes time.

    A raw sprout diet will keep the mosquitoes away. People around me get bitten, but they won't bother me on the raw sprout diet. l used to get bitten all the time. Kulvinsaks says the same thing, they don't like biting people on high alkaline toxin free diets who have relatively clean blood.
