[My spirituality is] a philosophy of raw foods. So I grew up Christian, and I respect the Christian religion, but I found that what resonated with me more was more of a Taoist approach, for instance. So, I let go of the idea of reading a lot of books to learn, and instead embracing nature and embracing journeys...and finding joy in small things, like being outside.

I worked a software engineer for many many years. I was stuck in a cubicle and didn't get summers off like I did when I was a kid. And I would look out the window, if I had a window. And I was like, "Why am I stuck inside? What's going on here?"

So those moments when we get to go outside, and be in the forest, or smell a flower, or play with our kids outside, or just have pure play time. That's the philosophy that I started to embrace. So that idea that moments that could be using watching TV, or vegging out is the other word for it...that became more of a Taoist philosophy to say: "I've got some free time, let me connect with something greater than myself."

And that's what I really advocate when people go onto a raw vegan diet or vegan diet (or any changes): spend time with animals! You'll find that you can connect with animals a lot better, if you just spend time with them. Or go into the forest, alone or with a partner, and just be quiet and listen.

And so that's what I've embraced more as a philosophy...it's that we are connected. At any moment you can walk outside, or take a bus, or drive, or ride a bike, whatever, and go connect to something that's infinite...that's greater than you that's actually very real. And the forest, once you're quiet in the forest, the birds start to wake up...it really speaks to us on an animalistic level. It's something that we need. It helps us connect with nature.

So I guess what I've adopted is more of a natural philosophy...where I say, how can I make today better than yesterday...and those little changes kind of evolve into this philosophy of self-love. And then it becomes easy to be a raw vegan! It becomes easy to make better choices! Because then you feel a sense of purpose. You know, going out and looking at star...I dunno, I didn't do that for years. And now every night I go out on a 4 mile walk and I just look at the stars and listen. And go to a swingset, and I swing on the swings. That's just become a real way to connect with myself and with something greater than myself, rather than feeling boxed up in a house or boxed up in a cubicle or boxed up in a computer...

We are part of nature. We do our best to isolate ourselves from nature. We've got these houses. We've got cars. But is that a long-term strategy for us? A long-term strategy for us, I think, would involve what would happen if our electrical grid went down...This bubble that we built for ourselves, our cities, is very fragile...

But in a raw vegan lifestyle, it's very comforting to note that plants and trees wanna give me food. They want to take of me. So let them take care of you.

If you enjoy the star trek voyage home movie, I highly recommend reading the novelization! There's a lot more detail in the book versions of the movies that they can't squeeze into the film format

To argue my case, I present the scene where Gillian drives them back to the park

A wonderful bonus, once kirk returns from his dinner with gillian

the raw meat and raw veganism movements are so crazy truly because theyre based in the idea of ”well early humans did not cook their food so thats how we are meant to eat it too” when like demonstrably almost all archeologists and anthropologists agree that humans have always been cooking their food actually because our fucking ancestor hominids invented using fire for cooking!!! like fuck even other human species like neantherdals and denisovans almost certainly cooked or dried or salted their food so that it wasnt raw bc even they knew that it was better that way 😭😭

#this post is brought by that raw vegan woman who died from not drinking water for 6 years btw yes

Many people use food as a numbing agent, just like alcohol or drugs or anything like that, which means that there's other things in your life which you're needing to work on. Maybe a relationship, for instance. Or your job. Or where you live. Or anything that's stressing you out. Maybe your kids or something like that.

Rather than using food to numb those feelings, addressing them directly is a much more effective way. And then what you'll find is that that feeling of fullness, of being stuffed and wanting to sit on the couch, that becomes less important because you WANT to live life. You're enjoying every moment of your life at this point. You're not trying to push things away with that numbing feeling.

Raw vegan is not a diet. It's a lifestyle. It's going through life in a very real way and understanding these are my problems. These are my issues. Let me address them. Let me not hide from them. And that can be really really scary and difficult and take years to get the hang of. But, communication style may change. Where you live may change. The type of job you have may change. Your outlook on life may change. You may stop associating with people who dump all their problems on other people. Instead, you may develop a technique - meditation, yoga, or simply just connecting with people in a different way, rather than connecting over alcohol or food. Connect over music or connect over exercise or connect over music...or just silently gazing at stars. Then what I've found is the food becomes less important. It doesn't become this thing that you hold onto to try to numb yourself.
