    * the 40,000 year old pyramids found
    * pyramids with air craft etched into them
    * a deep knowing from mediation (very important)
    * reading lots about this and reading people's encounters with E.T life where they have revealed our history
    * the old Atlantis story

    Most people say it's nonsense, but my mediation makes me know there is something in this. l know people have been here before.

    The bolded really frustrates me. It is common sense and people argue against it .
    Doesn't bother me because l know human nature and how backward we really are as a race. When you meditate well you put everything into perspective and worry about nothing because you realise things need to happen this way. And when you meditate ypou start getting insite into things, so you don't need anyone living on the Earth to tell you. Meditation allows you to strongly feel your instincts, so when you feel something strongly you know there is something to it.

    I have a question for you about books, but since i can't PM i have posted it on your visitors message.
    Doing it now.

    Yeah, l don't care if the world ended tomorrow. Our spirit never dies, just our body. lf the world ends, l just put on a new suit for my next physical life. No big deal.

    You know I think we find another thing which agree on in theory - though your detail and my detail probably varies hugely!

    I know this is off topic but... what if we didn't reincarnate as human species, or not even on this Earth? I had a conversation with someone who believes we actually do not reincarnate ever again in the same world after one lifetime. That doesn't mean personalities or souls cannot be reincarnated or recycled on the earth but "spirit" might be another thing than the "soul".

    I think - check it out with Aleesha - that you could post on your blog about it. That would then take it off the forum but still keep it open to the same membership who are here and people could comment as they chose etc. As I said, you'd need to check with Aleesha but I think that would count as ok.

    Sounds like a good idea to me.

    Sometimes I feel like we just need better crops available to us. I feel like the raw food diet is the highest diet. When we start getting into sprouting though you soon start to realize just how mediocre even regular raw food crops are. The mature greens with all their oxalates and goitrogens and maybe even the imbalance of minerals.
    The starchy veggies and a lot of them are not even palatable. Low in vitamins and minerals. No wonder there are many omnivorous people that think let alone a vegan diet is self sustainable.

    Well I say it's just a matter of perspective. If the society gave more credit to veggies then more variety would be available, better variety. Not just wheat corn and soy. And potatoes. Lol.


    But yea.. and I find that even as a sprouter because of prices one is limited to the humble seeds we can afford like sesame, sunflower, peas, even alfalfa is pretty damn expensive. Then you have the lentils and the mung beans which.. are ok just not really concentrated in nutrients. Oh yea and fenugreek.

    But what then, after that, all the other green sprouts are pretty darn expensive. And this is supposed to be the cheapest natural diet one can afford. And the government just wants to make it harder and harder for us to grow our own food. Look at that, if you don't have a house you can't grow, not even if you do on your own front lawn.

    Most people had their own gardens or lived amongst farmers. Everything is designed so we can't grow our own foods and live self sustainably.

    I go to to the store and I look at the leafy greens section and I always just leave with dandelions. Out of all the different kinds of greens this store only sells dandelions, kale, collard and chard. Oh yea and super expensive lettuce.

    We need to go back to the old system of small family farms growing a multitude of different crops, rather then a single farmer growing thousands of acres of 2 or 3 different crops. Unfortunately those crops are subsidized by the government. Think about the fact that just about all GM crops are heavily subsidized and virtually no non-GM foods are. And naturally the "Farm Bill" has been changed to support massive industrialized farms rather then the small farms it was designed to protect. The whole system is rigged.

    But yea.. and I find that even as a sprouter because of prices one is limited to the humble seeds we can afford like sesame, sunflower, peas, even alfalfa is pretty damn expensive. Then you have the lentils and the mung beans which.. are ok just not really concentrated in nutrients. Oh yea and fenugreek.
    Azure Standard has great prices, alfalfa being one exception.

    Sunflowers and peas are dirt cheap and produce some of the most nutritious microgreens there are. Even just having a tray of those two, plus wheatgrass or a different cereal grass 5 times a week costs very little. The price is amazing when you consider the nutrition they have, and how expensive it would be to instead eat that much store-bought produce which is sorely lacking in vital nutrients.

    Lentils and mung beans don't need to be too concentrated in nutrients, the green sprouts above will give you plenty. The important thing is that lentil and mung bean sprouts have vital life energy (or chi, electromagnetic vibration, whatever you want to call it) and mung bean sprouts, at least, have amazingly potent hormones called "auxinons" which have very powerful anti-aging effects. There are thousands of nutrients not identified by science, don't be fooled by only looking at the vitamins or minerals. Unique phytonutrients, oxygen, hormones, electromagnetic vibration, the list goes on and on.

    Everything is designed so we can't grow our own foods and live self sustainably.
    Yes.



    Also, smaller seeds like alfalfa and fenugreek produce much more foo when sprouted then do larger seeds like peas and sunflowers, so the higher cost is artificial. If you go through and actually determine the yield you can get from each seeds, you will find that higher prices do not always mean lower value. Chia, for example, is far more expensive then wheat. However, due to the tiny size of the seeds, a pound of chia will give you many times the amount of juice that a pound of wheat will. You can get a 8 oz of juice from just 2 tablespoons of chia seed, whereas 8 oz of wheatgrass juice requires roughly 1.5 CUPS of wheat berries. Do the math.

    Don't forget weeds. They're completely free and loaded with nutrients, and if you're vigilant you can also collect their seeds and get free sprouts as well.

    YES! I'm in complete agreement. Why settle for inferior store-bought produce anyway when you can pick the finest greens right from the ground and eat them within minutes? The best things in life really are free :)

    And when things like pea sprouts, sunflower greens and wheatgrass (way way above store-bought veggies, it would be insulting them to even be put in the same class of food) cost just pennies on the dollar, why in the world would you buy some half-dead wilted greens grown in mineral-deficient soil and picked so long ago that half of the few nutrients they started with have been lost, as well as the very important vibration? People will do crazy things to waste their money on inferior food.
