I first encountered the raw food diet as an infant, naturally. In my early 20s, in the 80s, I briefly experimented with raw foodism, eating salads only for several weeks, but my intellect rejected it as a cleansing diet, not a way of life. In the 80s and 90s, during my travels, I was spontaneously drawn to eating fruit, but again, did not make a connection. In July 2003, depressed by the declining state of my body, I decided to go raw and test how it really feels on this freaky raw food diet. I created this website and started recording my journey in May 2004, almost a year after I went raw.

Could it be that when we feel strongly about wanting to educate others that it is us who really need to be educated on some level that we are unable to see at a moment?
Could it be that when we want to change others it is us who really need to change in order to move beyond the matrix of preconceived ideas that we have constructed so carefully?
Could it be that when we feel that the world needs to be fixed it is us who really need it most?
Could it be that what seems so obviously evident at a moment, completely logical and beyond a doubt, is just a current image of where we are at, and that we are only able to see how fractured that image was when we finally, hopefully move beyond it?
Could it be that it is possible to reach a place where one operates at a speed-of-light level and shines their energy outwards transforming the consciousnesses in a most powerful way?

Life Science holds that everyone
is an independent entity unto himself
or herself within the context of society. Everyone should be entirely
free—fettered in no way—within the context of enlightened
self-interest—within the context of our symbiotic mandate on earth.
Every man, woman, and child must be regarded as capable of carrying on life's affairs for himself or herself. It is not our role to judge or impose ourselves on others but to help if our aid is sought. We should not impose ourselves on anyone no matter how wise or unwise, or how good or bad such imposition is or would be. We must accord to everyone the prerogative of leading their lives as is their bent and capability so long as their pursuits do not impinge upon the birthright of others. The golden rule should be our rule of conduct.
While it may seem unwise to grant the same privileges and prerogatives to both the genius and the relatively unlettered, nevertheless a society is not free in which either are denied their right to pursue opportunities on an equal footing. The capable are bound to succeed and should offer aid to their biologically crippled or less favored brethren.
For all its drawbacks and advantages we must always respect everyone as supremely sovereign. Whatever they do or decide, however good or bad their acts or decisions, in their own interests, we must pursue a role of non-interference. We may, by example, seek to inspire and motivate. But to impose ourselves and our precepts on others is reprehensible.
