The Raw Food Yogi- Aligning Nature, Spirituality and Health

“All structure is made by processes of nutrition; all repairs are accomplished by nutrition; it is through nutrition that we come to have organs in the first place; it is only through nutrition that they are constantly repaired; it is through it that we come into being and maintain life.” Dr. Herbert M. Shelton.

Meanwhile because the organic matter is now dead, the bacterial flora have ample soil with which to decompose further and create the toxic by-products sulfar-diaxide, ammonia and many others..






“As Above, So Below”
An example of a simple truth that has awe inspiring implications so below.” So simple is this truth that many may not even imagine that within that statement lay the underlying truths about all life and all universal expression.


Any situation on one plane of existence can be used as an analogy that can be taken to represent any other universal truth. A truth that speaks on every level that you wish to investigate.

The same root for Sadhana is the Sadhu in India which may have Sadhanas like holding one arm up for 9 years and stuff like that all in the name of Divine Surrender. I do not think it is important to hold one’s arm up for years, however the strength of the Faith and Love of God, which these Spiritual Men exude is to be emulated in the Faith and love we have for our Divine Nature, and then the Strength will come.


For expanded analogy you need expanded context. Expanded context is expanded experience. So use everything you see and learn as an analogy for some truth for as above, so below.

The mechanism for learning is universal and involves context. Context is also triangulation. Without analogy it is almost impossible to explain anything to anybody
All analogy demands that you have a common context which serves as the bridge between the listener and the speaker. It is the common context that allows for the mutual connection. It is also employing visualization.


The human mind always has the tendency to “picture” what is being talked about. This is the analogy, the relation, that the mind needs to understand anything. Observe in yourself how often your thoughts take the form of pictures and notice how the more experiences you have had the more and different “pictures” or contexts you have to relate to the present. Remember this is not about the past or “thinking” in the mental chatter sense, this is about the expression of pure consciousness as it navigates the present moment, surrendered and with love.


When you consider anything you know or any mechanism for understanding, it will almost always be structured as “it is like… or as this.” This simile structure is analogy and it is no coincidence that almost everything that we describe and explain in attempting to make others understand something involves analogy.

Consider a foundation. Any structure needs a foundation if it wants to endure.


Core Analogy : FOUNDATIONS
It is the inherent design of foundations that they are not to be seen. They are not supposed to collect accolades as to beauty or grandeur. In fact, foundations are solely designed to remain underground and hidden and that is how they do there job. And yet, any architect will tell you that the foundation of the structure is the most important and without a solid foundation it is better not to build on the site.
Foundations are underground. They are inside.
The foundation is the place from which one may build. Without the foundation it is futile to build because the structure will not hold.



Core Analogy:
What is your specific destination?
My answer to how to get where you want to go will always be two-fold and contradictory. Paradoxical more like it. I will first always remind you that the journey itself is the destination- the present moment is always complete and whole and perfect.

In order to go in the right direction towards your destination, you must recognize when you are lost and then change course. If you constantly assume that you are going in the right direction without ever verifying with a map or other means, you can wind up very far off course before you discover your location. When traveling the most annoying and draining feeling is being lost. When we are lost there is a feeling of anger and frustration. We consider the energy that we are wasting and the time that has been lost as we try to determine the right direction to go.

If you are under time constraints, like going to the airport and you are late for your flight, then you had better consider carefully the best way to get un-lost as there is little time to spare. You do not have to ask for directions of course, but that could make matters drastically worse

If you ask someone who is also lost which is the right way to go you may not get the best answer.

Or maybe you don’t consider yourself lost because you are following so closely behind everyone else that you know. As you follow the group you do not sense that anything can be wrong with the direction everybody is heading. But look carefully and you will see that the direction that everyone is presently headed may not be ideal.
So although you may not consider yourself totally lost, you are least open to the possibility that another path, another course may be more effective for you.


And consider the analogy as an expression of the tone of this book as well. I am of the disposition of someone on the side of the road casually giving you directions. There is no judgment or sense of wrongdoing or righteousness. I am simply here to show the way, take it leave with the seed.

Why backtrack 15 or 30 or 45 years of disastrous living styles if you don’t have to?

Teaching Meditation

If you’re going to teach, with a little bit of attention, you more than you, employ it to the degree you want, you had employ immediately. Being in your presence needs to be relaxing, that will have to be transmitted at all times. In every word that you say, in every sentence that you speak you have to visualize centeredness; you have to exist from there. You have to keep it that way. You have to not make it more than that it is. First things first, you do not turn into something that it’s not. That people are spiritual by their very nature, it’s a done deal. They are human beings so you’re already there. All you have to do is let them see for themselves what they already are so there’s nothing has to be created, it’s the first thing to be understand. It won’t be like, “Oh, I got to create this sentences so that I can make you understand”, no. The whole point of this is that there’s no understanding involved. I can never convince you intellectually anything spiritually because it doesn’t operate on that level. Truth is not always operating on the level of intellectualization. First things first, relax. Spiritual part it needs to be easy going. Now, how do you do it? You realize that the spiritual part is already what you’re talking about with the breath. By telling someone to breathe perfectly or to breathe with an evenness on their breath, you’re giving them the opportunity to balance their mind and to still their mind, then the spiritual part, brushes in like a wave - it just emerges. Because all you got to do is say feel the stillness in your mind and feel how good that feels. You want them to experience that stuff for themselves but don’t make it more than that it is. As far as spiritual things are concern, I’ll give you some hints. Feel gratitude, you could say that a hundred times. And I want you to mean it, mean it, MEAN IT. When you say feel gratitude, you’re feeling it and intensely. And almost so intensely that you almost can’t even talk, that kind of gratitude. Like I can’t almost-- couldn’t start crying, because I have seen the gifts that I have been given and how incredible this is and how mystical, you have to begin to connect to that gratitude for yourself. The part of teacher sharing for you, cultivate this because it’s blissful. And again that’s the spiritual part. The gratitude is the spiritual part. You don’t have to say believe in God all you have to do is say feel gratitude wherever you want, feel it to wherever you want. Just feel it because it’s transformational. But don’t take my word for it. Always add things like that “don’t take my word for it”, feel it for yourself. These are people want to hear. They want to hear that you’re giving them the opportunity to experience it not just trying to talk to them and make them believe it.

Fred

My name is Fred Busch and I am a Raw Food Yogi.
I eat only 100% Raw food, I practice Yoga asana vigorously everyday.
I am experiencing the benefits of great physical strength, mental agility and connectedness to the universe. One cell at a time, one day at a time I am getting healthier and more full of love.

I am also just like any other person. I grew up on the pizza, burgers and pasta diet for the first 18 years of my life. I am not here to hold high moral ground. I am certainly not here to judge. I am here however to enlighten you to the possibility that there is a more fulfilling life to be led when you can align yourself to the laws of Nature by eating a natural diet and vigorously exercising.

I smoked cigarettes for 5 years, ate meat everyday and never ate salad or fruit until my twenties. Yet I was always attracted to nature and the natural world. My inclination to all things natural and wild led me to study Environmental Policy in university. I know from my own example that no matter how divorced we become from Nature in our lifestyle, the call to Nature endures. And so with that vision I see in everybody around me the pure and vast potential of Nature.

It is said that a gorilla can bench press 4000 lbs. The domestication of the wild human begins at the first bite full of cooked food.

While laying in bed for weeks with terrible headaches I had visions of myself exercising and sweating and EXPRESSING the gift of the human body and I saw the value of health above all. I was treated in Africa but decided that rather than go to India as I had intended, I had better return home and heal and hopefully return to full health.

Perhaps you are lucky enough to not have had to realize first hand that health is the most important thing in the entire world. If you already know about the value of health then you will begin to tear through these pages in earnest. If not, then let me simply tell you that no matter what else you can imagine, if you are not healthy, you have nothing.
