109 Year-Old Raw Foodist Celebrates His Birthday

Raw foodist and author Bernardo LaPallo just celebrated his 109th birthday on August 17th. Take a look at the video from Fox News Phoenix above to see just how young and vibrant this amazing man is:

Bernardo looks younger than most people I know in their 70s and 80s! He is a living example at just how powerful a diet and a positive outlook in life can be.

109 years old! Let's put that into perspective. Birth year: 1901. Bernardo is still very much alive and kicking, and was born before Lou Gehrig, Charles Lindbergh, Bob Hope, George Orwell and 13 years before World War I.

And he's not even done yet. Bernardo expresses to the interviewer in the video above just how often he thinks of death: never.

A true Immortalist!

This is Linda Gray, a famous actress. I saw her at random, being interviewed on Loose Woman. She is 70! she was asked if she had any tips on staying youthful and she replied that she has no tips, she can only think that she enjoys every day for what it is. She has had no surgery and is not intimidated by age. I thought this was quite inspiring.

Food For Thought 2 - 'what the mind expects it finds'

Have you ever noticed...there are so many things in life that you believe without question? Why would you question, when everyone around you believes the same thing? But if you do start to question these things, you often find there is no reason beyond everyone else believing, for you to believe!
Would you have believed the world was flat when your family, friends, teachers, media and entertainment were telling you it was fact?

Do you believe by 20, 30 and 40 you should be behaving a certain way and have achieved certain things? If you do then you probably believe this because you believe you only have a certain life expectancy! why do you believe that?

There are ancient texts that say that people once lived for hundreds of years. 'Some lived for eight hundred years, some lived for five or six hundred years, but longevity was a commonplace. So what happened? People changed what they believed. Instead of believeing in living for hundreds of years, people changed there beliefs over generations, and they became to believe in a reduced life expectancy.' (R Byrne 2010)

"There is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable and that it is only a matter of time before biologists descover what it is that is causing us the trouble." Richard Feynman 1918-1988

So this is taking the theory to an extreme, or maybe i just believe that because everyone around me does? The message i am trying to get across is, be careful with how you limit yourself in life, if it is true that 'what the mind expects it finds', then your mentality could quite literaly be leathel! Not only that, but you could be repeating replicates of the lives lead before you, due to taking on there beliefs when who knows what more you could be!

Food For Thought 1 - What World do you live in?

Say we are all born into the dark, into a world created by so many generations upon generations before us, that we have 'no hope in hell' of understanding how to go about this world without the teachings of those already consumed into the creation.

Instinct can tell you that to walk off a cliff is dangerous or that it may not be the best idea to rock up to a lion! It cant tell you that to sit in water with your radio may be about as dangerous as the edge of that cliff and about as bad of an idea as getting close to that lion. Infact relying on natural instincts alone, you are probably as likely to be as afraid of a hoover coming towards you as you are of a chain saw. Obv corse we all live an learn the hard way at times, u put ur finger in fire an u learn it burns. Unfortunatly the majority of life as we know it has developed to not be as black and white as that today, we need to be taught and educated. Guess we are lucky we have family, friend's, education and media to do that! Or are we?

It is very easy to forget that the majority of things we take for granted on a daily basis wouldnt be possible if so many human beings before us hadnt dedicated there life's work to progression for the human race. So many human beings gave there life's work so that you could flick a light switch and have electricity. Think about the magnitude of human beings who slaved day after day, year after year, to lay the train tracks across our planet. And it's almost impossible to imagine the number of people who did the backbreaking work of making the roads we drive on that form a connecting network of life for the world. So many aspect's of what we percieve as life are man made, yet we have never seen a world without them.

I heard someone compare the human race to a virus a few months ago. Just something to think about.

Subliminal Mind Control, Brain Washing, Media & Psychology

Chakras are subtle, dynamic energy vortexes and are as much a part of our bodies as our arms and legs. You can't see electricity, but when you turn on the light, you see it's effect. The Chakras can similarly be understood by there effects. Physical Organs and maladies in the area of a chakra can be treated with stones of the colour relating to the chakra. It is not surprising that our subtle energy centres are especially connected to the physical body in their location. A basic example of this would be using green stones like chlorite or peridot to treat heart or chest conditions, as that organ is influenced by the 4th chakra, or heart chakra.

The logic is that as gross matter manifests from subtle energy, so strengthening the chakras in the problem area would be a start. Another Point, is that while the organ may be healed conventionally, if the underlying energetic imbalance is not addressed, the condition may return. A man may have a heart attack and blood thinners keep him going, but if the causes are not addressed, stress for example, there's a good chance of more heart problems.

Crystal Healing is the application of crystals or gemstones to facilitate balance and healing. Rocks and gemstones house spiritual healing properties that can be tapped into in a variety of ways. The crystals can be carried or worn on the person, or they can be placed in a location where their healing vibrations can be felt by whomever is nearby. They are also used with meditation. Crystal elixirs can be made by cleansing crystals and then leaving crystals to take in the energy of the moonlight over night or a full 24 hour cycle depending on oppinion and preference. Not only can they help with emotional life issue's but they have also been known to help with the immune system and skin conditions.
