Jesse Jackson said it perfectly, “Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.” Detroit is proof that sweat and tears play a significant roll, but to elicit change, there must be a balance between connection and conviction, community and individuality.

Amazing 3.5 hour talk. Soul connection. Sharing life experience. I hope she sees her light. I want to help her see her light.

Eat for enlightenment

In every morsel of food you eat, there’s an infinite, yet patterned, timeless cosmic order of waves of pulsating electrons that spiral in and out of existence, which have a profound impact on your body and on your life.

In our Western culture, the challenge is the belief that we’re separate from the world around us. In our dash for technology, we’ve forgotten that we’re connected with a living, pulsating universe—a universe that sings with life and resonates with spirit. This idea that we exist independently from our environment is an illusion; for in truth, there’s nothing out there that is not you. Our ancient ancestors throughout the world understood this. Their worldview was that none of us exists separate from the entirety of the world. The understanding that you’re not separate from the energy of your food (or the world around you) allows you to step into the realm in which everything has consciousness, including your food. You then discover how to interface with the soul of the meals that you eat . . . which can be a profound and majestic experience.

When we are aware that all beings are aware, our compassion naturally extends outward, allowing us to see and feel our connection with all things in the web of life.
