On the healthy path

    Yes, I know the way, but walking it is different(if we allow it to be). Major things I need to do to become more "spiritual" or just healthy is---

1. Become a vegetarian. We are what we eat. We need to treat animals better. You can tell alot about a society by how they treat their animals. No intelligent person sees eating animals as healthy. Lo and BEHOLD! The Earth hath roots!!! This will have a profound effect on karma too.

2. Purity - There are certain things we all do that we can control. I think resisting temptation makes us stronger. Vices can always be conquered and turned into virtue. But the funny thing is, is that the virtues are always more meaningful after experiencing the vices. So shall we conquer them. Which is why evil exists, so that we may know its alternative.

3. Yoga+Meditation- they go hand in hand. I do soo much mind exercise now and not enough body, so I will combine the two in yoga.

    Those are three major steps I will take as soon as I get to college. I'm working on them now obviously though, what better time than now? But the environment i'll be living in in January will allow more focus and education. I fast every sunday, I don't eat. Its very important to allow the inner workings not to always concentrate on the food in your stomach but to be allowed to cleanse other areas too. Fight the urge to eat.
    I remember one day when I was in Charleston S.C. I felt total spiritual freedom, I was with my best friend Chris who I am now separated from now by many miles, and I had been practicing fasting and meditation and was volunteering at a literacy place in the slums and I felt as though I could see auras and people were reacting to me without me even speaking. I have not felt it since...but I will again. I was living in a stressful situation so I moved away from it. Too bad it was only one day.
    Imagine if we all were so gifted in meditation that we could protest the government and set ourselves ablaze like this man.
