On Planet Peachy located in the Razeldorf sector____^ On the edge of The Tapeworm galaxy we live on the rays of a radiant star cluster and the aroma of celestial flowers as we sit in lotus posture long hours enjoying the cosmic tune of near by planets.
Food as you think of it has no place in our aromic diet. Seasonings___^ we add cloroforic distilled essences from embryonic stultifiers and____^ emulsifying droplets from panoramic flower gardens.

F.O.B.

I remember this qoute from the Bible:

' Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedth out of the mouth of God.'

It seems we can live much more simply materially speaking and much more extensively on the energy or word of God.
This may be a lesson that some of us are learning and starting to experience in our lives.

I have eliminated meat and fish from my diet, sugar as well unless I have no honey. Very little or no sweets. Less and less processed foods. More and more fresh vegetables and fruits, mushrooms, herbs and sprouts.

Less need for new clothing. Less need to travel and more need to go within where I find myself.

Living with less?  Living with more. That's what I would wish for you. More peace, more bliss, more understanding.

I think it's interesting to consider that most famous Gurus from India are very wealthy, and if not, they certainly have an abundance of anything they could ever want for, in terms of food, shelter, and any resources.  Of course, pure hearted ones in such positions of power use their resources to regularly feed people by the hundreds or thousands, if not by the tens or hundreds of thousands.

In America, we have "financial" or "success gurus", like Tony Robbins, who tries to help people be successful materially, by following their inspiration, and to help them come full circle after achieving success, to find greater value in their life by giving to others.  Tony Robbins himself feeds hundreds of thousands of people in need every year with his success.

It seems to me, all situations have their obvious blessings and challenges (which are also blessings, perhaps even greater!).  As Jesus said about it being easier for a camel to go through the eye of needle than it is for a rich man to enter Heaven...  It is apparent that material abundance creates great Spiritual challenge, but paradoxically, it also enable that vey same person to be in a position to help so many people, so greatly and so quickly!  And if all of the Spiritually minded, kind-hearted wealthy people gave up all their wealth, their positions of power would surely be overtaken by truly selfish, cut-throat people, most likely, who wouldn't want to help anyone unless it served them.


I hope America will one day reach a minimum poverty level of Sweeden/Norway, where NO ONE goes hungry, and with Human resources we could go so much further!!  With the raising of Human awareness, I think this willy happen!!

Living with less is a beautiful way to live, unless it is imposed, which it often is on this planet at this time.  Much progress to be made yet on this planet, through the loving work of good people like you!

Yes but what i was speaking of more is less of ourselves and our needs. For instance many times we feel abused, taken advantage of and used by other people. Yet when there is no one their.... there can be no abuse or use. There is no one there. No ego is left. There is less and less. Someone knocked but there was only an echo at the door.

That reminds me of something from Chuang Tzu:

"He who rules men lives in confusion. He who is ruled by men lives in sorrow. The Tao therefore desires neither to influence others nor to be influenced by them. The way to get clear of confusion and free of sorrow is to live with Tao in the land of the great void. If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collides with his own skiff, even though he be a bad-tempered man, he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in the boat he will shout at him to steer clear. If the shout is not heard, he will shout again and yet again, and begin cursing. Yet, if the boat were empty he would not be shouting and not angry. If you can empty your own boat, crossing the river of the world, no one will oppose you. No one will seek to harm you. He who can free himself from achievement and from pain descends and is lost amid the masses of men. He will flow like Tao, unseen. He will go about like life itself, with no name and no home. Simple is he without destination. To all appearances he is a fool. His steps leave no trace. He has no power. He achieves nothing. He has no reputation. Since he judges no one, no one judges him. Such is the perfect man - his boat is empty."
