Green Juice In A Blender: What Is Not A True Starting Point In Drink Preparation?




Facebook Page

I have some left-over grapes in the refrigerator and as i was making a juice in a blender, i decided to put it in the green drink. I tasted it and decided to use the left - over cucumber and the avocado that is on the counter to make it creamy. It did make it creamy, but that is not what i am writing about today, although i am including the recipe of the drink at the end of this blog.. 

I am writing about what is NOT a 'True' starting point when preparing food. 

I found out that preparing food to develop a recipe and to save left-overs is NOT a 'TRUE' starting point that is best for the body..

The reason why we want/desire to prepare food to save left-overs is because of FEAR.

Let's have a look at this:
>Fear of not having a new recipe to post 
>Desires to post a new recipe 
>Starts preparing food
>Saw the left-overs
>Decided to save them 
> puts the left-over fruits in the drink
>Blended and strained the mixture and then put some avocado then drank it
>felt there's a little bit of 'growling' in the stomach and connected it to 'bad  drink' 
>refused to drink the rest of it

I will look at the starting point in making a drink or a new recipe here.

Fearing not having a new recipe to post, then desiring to make a drink so one can post a new recipe from  the starting point of making a new recipe that will be liked by many which will be popular and where the recipe creator can feel good about oneself - based on self-interest is not a true starting point in preparing a drink or a dish. 

One is really desiring to make oneself 'special' through ones food preparation within this.

Judging the food as 'bad' because one experienced 'growling' in ones stomach will be - blaming the food for causing the 'bad stomach'.

The food is expressing itself in this world and it is the person preparing the food who has to take self-responsibility for the nutrition one gives the body - and then cross-referencing with the body if it is okay with that.

Looking at what ones body needs in terms of nutrition before one prepares food is going to assist the body. 

Instead of blaming the food, one can take note of what the body prefers in terms of food items and food combinations so when one prepares food this will be taken into consideration.

In this case, what i learned is that i can use another fruit to sweeten my juice and will not use grapes, instead i can use pear or apples. 


I used the following:

2 small carrots chopped
juice of 2 oranges
1 bunch celery small
1 medium cucumber
5 leaves of romaine
2 c green grapes or 2 pears peeled without seeds
1/2 of an avocado

I Blended the first 5 ingredients first, then i added the grapes. 
I strained it in a cheesecloth and then, i blended it again with the avocado.



I strained it in a Cheesecloth or produce bag




The finished drink

Redefining Raw Food : Mind of a Raw Foodist: Day 51 Pattern




What i ate in the raw food restaurant:
Raw Brownie a la mode and Raw Ice Cream

Facebook
===


This is how i became a 'Raw foodist'

> I ate in a restaurant and tasted raw' tasty' food
>>I researched about raw food
>>> I read that raw food can heal people's illnesses
>>>> I took knowledge and information that i have heard and seen from the media as my truth 
>>>>> I learned how to make raw foods                                                
>>>>>>I adopted a raw food diet
>>>>>>> It tasted good
>>>>>>>> I 'felt good and looked good' after eating 100% raw food
>>>>>>>>>I equated eating 100% raw food to 'being the best diet in the planet'

This is  a mind pattern. When i look at the my food programming chart at the bottom of this page, what is clear is that my Fear of Sickness and Death is directing me.


I was living the past in the present replaying a memory in my mind and re-living that memory of me - sick and in the brink of dying - and my fear of sickness and death.

To Be Continued in the coming blogs

A Copy of 



My Food Programming

- Memory: I heard a story where my grandmother was telling me that when i was young, she was so angry to see a cockroach very near me while she was watching me as i was sick and dying in the hospital.

- Memory: I believed that the vegetarian diet is 'better than' a carnivorous diet - believing it is a 'healthy diet'

- Memory: I saw a man in a youtube video teaching personal fitness and running very fast who claimed he was a breatharian
- Memory: I wanted to know if the body still has energy even when it's not getting food
- Memory: I researched about inedia and breatharianism
- Memory: I found out Lao Tzu who i traced as the proponent of 'Taoism' - is the proponent of Inedia

- Memory: I found out i can run faster when i was not eating - also feeling so light -  than when i was eating
- Memory: I was mesmerized by these new found 'feats'
- Memory:  I considered myself 'special' believing that the majority of people eats food and i didn't - believing they were 'normal and i was special'
- Memory: I found out my body is beginning to adopt to not eating on the third day of the 'no water no food fast'
- Memory: I fear sickness and death - so it came up and i saw myself fearing not being able to eat for a long period of time

- Memory: I stopped 
I am presently doing self-forgiveness for my fears and correcting myself in my living

Cooked Pumpkin Pie Mathematics Part 4 Day 36 Fear Dimension



  
===
===


Fear Dimension 

In this blog, I am looking at the fear dimension  as  'fear that others will not like me when i get fat'  when in front of the pumpkin pie.  I am using elementary mathematics to show how I add to the value of the pumpkin pie instead of seeing its real value as equal to Life.
I am using self-forgiveness, writing a commitment script and self-corrective application to correct myself so I can birth myself as equal to and one with Life.
===



'Fear that others will not like me  when i get fat'

Self-forgiveness


I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to 

create a relationship with fear - fearing that others will not like me 

when i am fat 

and fear they will look down on me 


where fear of fat 


and fear of being inferior


becomes the force that drives me 


to choose which foods to eat

rather than what the body needs to survive optimally

===
The Mind Value vs the Real Value of Fat
===


Within this Fear
 'Fear others will not like me when i become fat'

the mind value i am giving 'Fat is equal to - 10' 


where 


-1 is the 'least negative experience/suffering i will get in the future'


-10 is the 'most negative experience/suffering i will get in the future'


based on 'experiences in the past'


where 


when i gained weight/got fat 


 had a negative energy experience


of others not looking at me


where looking at me 


was connected to 'liking me'


and not looking at me 


was connected to 


'not liking me'


so the me, this is me as the mind 

deciding to give a value to fat that is less than life 

based on a negative energy experience in the past

and gave fat this value


'Fat = -10'


predicting that i will get a negative experience/suffering in the future


when i gain weight/get fat


within 'fear of getting fat'


instead of looking at this  Fear 

redefine the word 'Fat'


and give it a real value equal to Life


as in


Fat = Life

and use it as equal to my written and spoken expression

===

Commitment to Correct Myself


I commit myself to when and as i see myself 


fearing others will not like me when i get fat


I stop


I breathe


I realized that


I connected people not looking at me 


to losing my relationship with people


which means i will not be desired


which essentially equates to being alone


as i connected 'not being desired to not being looked at, and not being looked at, to being alone'


which i connected to a 'negative energy experience'


where i connected no one looking at me or no one desiring me


to having no relationship/being alone


 within fear of not existing as the mind character/personality


connecting people looking at me as


having many people validating my existence


a 'positive energy experience'


that will give me 'happiness'


as the evil me - within self-interest and survival


only after what i will get  


which equates to 'my happiness' as a mind character


as the 'me, i and myself'


existing within a belief that there is a certain weight 


i should be in


making gaining weight above the recommended weight (120) for my height


as 


being fat


where the mind values  i am giving fat is not real


as it is based on past negative experiences 


of who i have become 


as the 'mind memory of me'


as my 'negative experiences'


 in the past


and projecting that in the future


projecting the following values


Fat = - 10


where


-1 = not being looked at 

-2 = not having a relationship 
-3 = not being liked
-4 = unattractive/ugly
-5 =  below normal
-6 = will not have someone who i can have sex with
-7 = will not be happy
-8 = will be alone
-9 =  will be inferior
-10 = will not exist


so, i am assisting myself to accept and allow me


 to have a real relationship with my body/fat


where i establish real communication with my body


seeing its expression as equal to my expression


giving it sustenance that it accepts 


assisting it to survive optimally 


and  stopping me as the mind 


birthing me here 


as the body/physical/substance


with a value equal to life


realizing that the body/physical/substance of nature

has a value equal to life 
and all that is here has a value equal to life
