Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Dr. Johnny Lovewisdom, the Hermit Saint of the Andes, is now in
the hands of God. Dr. Lovewisdom passed away Thursday October 12,
at the age of 81. I've been informed that Dr. Lovewisdom will be
buried Sunday, Oct. 15, 2000, near Quito, Ecuador. Please forward
this message to everyone so that all may pray for Johnny's safe
return to God.
Once heralded as the Father of the New Age and a New Race Johnny
Lovewisdom was a true spiritual adept, a mythical mountain
wiseman. Dr. Lovewisdom was one of the world's foremost advocates
of the raw food diet and a leading pioneer in fasting and the
fruitarian movement. Dr. Lovewisdom inspired people around the
world with his visionary Paradisian philosophy and was the
inspiration for Viktoras Kulvinskas' landmark book, Survival into
the 21st Century, which sparked the raw-foods, wheatgrass
revolution. Dr. Lovewisdom's philosophy was rare for its breadth
and depth, a complete holistic philosophy for spiritualizing
humankind. Dr. Lovewisdom suffered many hard lessons on his
spiritual path and left a legacy for us all. Dr. Lovewisdom will
be missed by all. Let us pray for Dr. Lovewisdom's passage into
the hands of God.
There has never been and there will never be another Johnny
Lovewisdom. What a remarkable life this man has lived, living the
life of a contemplative, meditative hermit, self-publishing his
writings in the Andean wilderness, on an tiny hand printing
press, having them trekked to the post office miles away, to be
sent around the world. Dr. Lovewisdom is an inspiration to us
all. His death is a rebirth and a continuation of life and a new
beginning for his teachings. Our love and blessings go with him.
Now we must work even harder to realize Dr. Lovewisdom's
vision. It's now up to us! Let's create a memorial to this
remarkable man by realizing his Paradisian dream.
Dr. Lovewisdom died for us! He died to make us reflect upon our
own life, to find the truth, and live it and teach it. Now he's
gone, and we can only be with him in spirit. The longer I think about
him, the harder it gets, and the more I reflect, upon my own
life, and the meaning of it, and the direction for it. The
anguish that I feel is not for the passing of Dr. Lovewisdom, but
is the result of the reflection it has brought to my own life. I
can not tell you how happy I am for Dr. Lovewisdom, nor how sad I
am for myself. I will always regret that I didn't take the
opportunity to live and study with this remarkable man. Let us
pray for Johnny's journey to be with God.
This whole year has gone by like a day, and it's nearly over. How
many more days do I have? When I see that a calendar year is
nothing more than a day, how many more days do I have, and how
will I choose to live those days?

This is not the end, but the beginning of a new life with God for
Dr. Lovewisdom. Let us all pray. Peace and blessings to all. I
will always regret that I never took the opportunity to live and
study with this remarkable man, Dr. Johnny Lovewisdom, Hermit
Saint of the Andes. We must now live on with him in spirit.
Special Note: Johnny Lovewisdom passed away while his Camp of
Saints was being born. Michael Wright just sold his farm in
Missouri and was on his way to Ecuador to help build Dr.
Lovewisdom's Camp of Saints. Dr. Lovewisdom's vision lives on.
It's a new beginning. Join with us and make Dr. Lovewisdom's
Paradisian vision complete.
"Only with the advent of the Paradisian New Race God-Born shall
worth in my work be seen." -- Dr. Johnny Lovewisdom
Peace, Love and Truth
