Terrence Brannon, mind-mapped

That's a difficult question to answer. But I do know I am super-confused about diet! As Kane Mantyla of Float Matrix put it, "once you know about something, then it isnt you" I take the John C Lilly approach - man is an observer-operator-agent. The trick is that everything I put on this page is something that I operate or observe, most likely with what the Buddhists call attachment.

If I obeyed reason, I would be a Buddhist because it is a powerful, sane, safe path which requires no one else. But it simply is not sexy enough for me. So I waste emotion, energy, time and money enjoying myself with other spiritual pursuits and continue to feel like an alien on this earth, except when I goto the zoo...

Please forgive the use of the verb to-be below. You would think someone with my exposure to English prime would know better.

1. I am a spiritual floatation tank person who is forming a related religious organizaton

8. Facebook page
9. Myspace page - myspace isnt really my bag. cluttered, slow-loading
10. Posterous page - which goes to Facebook automatically
11. Youtube page - which goes to Facebook automatically as I rate things, comment, etc
12. Computer consulting website - am I monk who does programming, or should programming be my spiritual practice?!
13. I am an Amway IBO
14. my favorite search engine is duck duck go

Various metaphysical answers, all rather dear to me

• The vipassana answer - there is no self but I can be unattached to all that I perceive
• The sant mat answer - I am a soul who must transcend the negative planes, cross the great darkness (with the help of a living master) and enter the pure positive realms of spirit
• the John C. Lilly answer - I am an observer-operator-agent
• The Spiritologie answer - I am the Life Static which creates the 7 impulses of existence
• The IAC answer - I am the controller of consciousness. I have a physical body, emotional body, energetic body and mental body. I am on a path of evolution and have been for some time

Me and raw orange juice

Me and orange juice is an odd story. There was book by Hilton Hotema called "Man's Higher Consciousness" and it covered a lot of ground, but in one part he mentioned putting a girl on an orange juice diet. She was overweight but she came out of the diet looking and feeling great.

I was in Los Angeles at the time at a company named Evolution was still allowed to sell raw orange juice and they had it in quantities at Whole Foods. I was always rather fruit-oriented and before I knew it I was only drinking orange juice... buying 6 1/2 gallons at a time. I went for 17 days on nothing but orange juice and felt great. I worked my regular job and had no issues with fatigue or anything. OJ does drop your body temperature... I just had 1/4 gallon and have had the heater on me directly for 30 minutes to deal with it. Not only that, but you can get serious acid burns in your gut and sides from it that will freeze you in place for a few minutes.

Lemon - apple juice is even more potent... I had 2 lemon-apples last night and one pure apple... I bought them at Raisin Rack even though I could've made them... I have a green star, k-tec and a 3000.00 orange juice machine that I got for 1500 from this lady who gets a lot of commercial juicers for cheap... Here is a picture of my juicer at the bottom of this post from my website -

My wellness center is not started yet, I am a professional computer programmer. But I am impressed highly with the effect of the floatation tank.

I dropped out of myspace because you get all these unwanted emails. My "mothership" website that connects to all my others is here - http://www.livingcosmos.org/ ...

I'm glad you are putting on Paul's event. You should be able to pull in a lot of people.

Ok but back to OJ... basically I the idea is to find out what man really needs to survive... lungs are bigger than the stomach and you breathe more often than you eat. 21 days of water fasting helps people doesnt hurt them. The whole idea of eating anything everyday has to be questioned. And a lot of the eating we do is based on social programming and fear.

Regarding metaphysical fruitarian texts, Johnny Lovewisdom did a lot of preaching about pure fruit diet, then backed out to Vitarianism. Joshua Rainbow is no longer fruitarian. I talked to him. I scanned in his text and made it freely available here - http://metaperl.freeshell.org/ ... Joshua is still raw but he eats heavier raw foods... he became super thin through raw in fact dirt was coming out through his palms he had become so pure... which brings up the issue of purity and filth, positive versus negative. the Whole being both... what is the true spiritual path.

But anyway, Doug Graham has preached a largely fruit diet for a long time, so I am back to his diet having fooled around with everything else. My dietary resume is here -

well, I'm glad you asked this question. The free energy workshop meets on Mondays, so I'm not sure if I will make Nison's talk. But I ordered all his books in case someone is curious about his slant on raw.
