aloha!
today i successfully telnetted for the first time. turns out i
had to simply change the location from cats.ucsc.edu to si.ucsc.edu. for
over i year i've failed at telnet, and yesterday mom told me this
secret. kind of a birthday present to go along with the backpack &
beeswax candles & fresh dates & vegetable candles & more. the latter gift
had me craving more information. how do they make vegetable candles?
anyone out there with experience in this use of fire?
i awoke this morning in a small dorm room that three people had
exhaled into all night. leaving the others asleep, i set out across the
dew-laden fields in search of potable fluid. the brita filter didn't
impress me. a kind coed out and about pomona college directed me to "the
village", where i found a restaurant that made fresh juice, then a full
fledged juice bar. i had the special, _popeye's_secret_, with carrot,
parsley, and (of course!) spinach. tasty juice. then a shot of
wheatgrass. the day looked bright & sunny as i wandered among the
growing crowds of students from the five claremont colleges, back here
for the first day of classes.
still licking my chops from the fresh plant blood, i turned the
corner to find myself staring at a small sign hanging over the sidewalk:
health
naturally, i walked in. a white-haired gentlemen softly greeted
his only customer of the moment, and i quickly sized up his
establishment, "second street health foods", as a vitamin & book shop.
looking over his books, i soon found some gems. as my stack grew on the
counter, i noticed the sparsely populated shelves & dusty bottles. i
felt good about the old man, and wanted to support him, so i did buy a
bit more than i otherwise would have. the haul:

the final item has one piece from the january 1946 issue of
_dr._shelton's_hygeinic_review_. i haven't had a chance to read any of
the essays, but did flip to the back of the "book" (stapled 8.5x11"
pages). after jethro kloss, i noted a tract by father kneipp from his
seminal _my_water_cure_. then i glanced over the list of books available
from "health research" (box 70, 8349 lafayette street, mokelumne hill,
california, 95245). quite a slew of characters & subjects. turning the
page i see an extensive list of "biosophical books" by dr. raymond
bernard (a.b., m.a., ph.d.), unless otherwise noted. i don't know if
"health research" still offers any of these, or at what prices. a few
of the titles with blurbs:

my hands & forearms faintly ache from typing. "bodhi, are you
still typing that one email message?!?!" dorm life here at pomona
college has started to wind down to a dull roar now (1am). i'll toss the
futon on the floor and try to recoup some nerve force. a few last
comments on the other books, i bought:
_life_in_the_21st_century_ i already own, but this one has a
beautiful purple cover, much nicer than the grey one back in santa cruz.
and i've only found that one copy in all my used book store perusings. i
hear it went out of print, and ten bucks for such great condition
inspired me to part with those little tickets of survival (money).
_"raw"_glandular_supplementation:_a_nutritional_approach_ will
not get me popping pills made from animal adrenals, pancreas, liver,
thyroid, pituitary, brain, heart, thymus, kidney, stomach or duodenum.
but for the cheap price, i thought i'd buy it just for the paragraph that
caught my eye on the first page:
<<< When predators like wolves or lions kill prey, the first
tissue they consume is the organ meat, such as the kidneys and adrenals,
liver, heart, and brain. Primitive human hunters follow the same
pattern, eating the organs first and saving the red meat for later.
there is a logic to this pattern: if some larger or stronger animal
drives them off the prey before they have consumed it all, they have
already gotten the best and most concentrated nutrition. >>>
hey now, anyone know of a source of raw, organic glandular
products, preferably from wild game? i had a dream last night that i
found a gorgeous dark wood bow and a single arrow. i slung it over my
chest & back. at times i practiced notching the arrow and pulling back
the bow, but i never let it fly. i think i need to read that book i saw
years ago: _the_zen_of_archery_. any suggestions for hunting paraphenilia?
i have a strong bias against guns, and would love to never fire one...
perhaps a samurai sword that could slice through a chicken's neck
instantly and quickly... or whatever i could approach without
agitation... chasing an animal, causing fear? no, not for me. the fear
would poison the meat to some extent, i feel. adrenaline saturated.
rene, i could see myself of a few years ago in your post. now i
feel in harmony with what kirt wrote (thank you kirt! and when can i
read your book?) if you can eat fruit & thrive, more power to you. but
please try to recognize that some of us who have aspired to
fruitarianism, gone down the raw vegan path some ways, now see beauty &
joy in the way of a conscious & compassionate carnivore. i respect your
right to live the way you do. respect those who cause no unnecessary
harm, but consume all they kill. and i still love you, despite my shock
& sadness while reading your words.
peter, you gave zephyr these url's:
http://www.bolis.com/list-archives/veg-raw
http://www.bolis.com/list-archives/veg-raw-digest
it mystifies me why you, as moderator, did not give instead, or
at least along with the above, these url's:
http://www.bolis.com/list-archives/raw-food
http://www.bolis.com/list-archives/raw-food-digest
i discovered the last one by guessing, based on the above. and i
want to thank you for all the time & effort you've put into making this
list my favorite virtual experience. i think many here would agree.
legally,
ombodhi
