sometimes I think I read too much yet not enough. Like it's possible to eat too much but not enough of the right foods.

Chakra openings, vibrational frequencies

So I had some diarrhea this morning, possibly because of the oats and salsa, corn and meat we had for hamburgesas last night. It may have been my solar plexus chakra opening up.

if you are thinking of something that you want but you are frustrated, impatient, and doubt, than the frequencies you are setting out not in harmony. This will cause discord and make it harder for you to get what you want. However, if you are thinking of what you want, and you bring in joy, passion, and excitement, than your frequencies begin to match are set out in harmony, which will attract what you want faster. It's all about matching your vibrational frequencies.

Although other people may try to help you change your frequency and bring it to a better, more harmonized state through their positivity, but ultimately they do not understand your thoughts and do not have control over your consciousness. That choice is completely up to you.

Frequency : the power of personal vibration / Penney Peirce ; foreword by Michael Bernard Beckwith.
Just learned of her. More in book lists from Jean Railla, whose Get Crafty book I need to return to the library soon. She has lists of good cooking books and good food books.

Taking another Facebook break: feeling very sensitive, and disappointed by the gigantic chasm that separates my realm of consciousness and understanding from those of my relatives, whom I had hoped to get closer to through Facebook. I will pray that they awake and come find me.

Almost everyday I have a new insight or breakthrough

this should be Tweeted, but I doubt the public entities with whom I have a recriprocal Tweet relationship would care. And I know my relations wouldn't care, except my brother who will have dozens of insights and breakthroughs in a matter of days.

My breakthroughs are of awareness, health, and consciousness. Of political machinations.

vitamin b12 scribble notes

I'm afraid if I use pen and paper for these, they'll get lost.

Making lots of connections, receiving input this week. Spiritual director says I'm not moving just by notes up the scale, but by octaves.

Music: downloading/listening to: Ligeti, Stockhausen, Bartok, Pavement, Penderecki, Messiaen.

Nanotech: A123, FMC for lithium, Altair Nano, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, GE.

Foods: Vitamins A, C, E, B12, chinese medicine. Vitamin B12 cannot be made by plants or animals as only bacteria have the enzymes required for its synthesis, so beware of claims that spirulina has B12. Many (though not all) of the effects of functions of B12 can be replaced by sufficient quantities of folic acid (another B vitamin)

National Institute of Health Food Source Sheet for Vitamin B-12

Energy testing for B-complex: only two of NatureMade; six of spirulina, three of Vitamin C.

Third day of fast

First movement in over a day: surprising amount considering liquid diet. Learning what supplements will best lower my intraocular pressure: Vitamin C, but what dose? Absorption half-life is half an hour, I've read that the maximum amount absorbed in one ingestion is 1 gram, yet am seeing claims of 10g to 33g daily dosages. How much of that really gets absorbed?

Having good results with: calcium/magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin C+B complex. The 29mg chelated iron may be too much for me to take when I'm not bleeding. It's all about getting my energy back, breaking sugar/caffeine cravings, and lowering the intraocular pressure.

Today: buy tomatoes, more greens, celery. Am loving fresh juices from my juicer!

I have lost seven pounds since my visit with my physician Dec. 11. Thanks, juice fast!
