My journey has been a mainly spiritual one. I began to have out-of-body experiences at the age of around twelve and went on to explore many different philosophies and understandings, including the scientific method. At the age of around sixteen I became vegetarian while on a spiritual retreat, then in 2005 I became vegan and included a high percentage of raw food. I now focus on fruit as our most natural food source and also the most compassionate way to live.
I am also a writer and artist, my first book is due to be published in the near future and my art has been exhibited worldwide. You can find out more at my website: http://www.grahamnicholls.com
Graham ~ A Diet Based On Compassion
Your way is very interesting Graham, I hope one day you'll tell us in more details about it! PS: I made your link clickable. |
that's very interesting. have you read 'the trilogy', as i call it, by robert a. monroe ('journeys out of the body', 'far journeys' and 'ultimate journey'). i've had a few spiritual experiences myself, though no OBEs as such just yet. though it's said everyone has OBEs but few can remember them in their conscious state. i imagine that's actually true. |
Well I would be happy to expand on this but I thought this at least gives an idea of where I'm coming from. As far as 'the trilogy', yes, Robert Monroe has been a real inspiration as have many of the writers on the subject. I hope my own book will inspire others in the way books like Journeys Out of the Body did for me. I have now experienced hundreds of OBEs since my childhood and feel that it is a powerful way to explore spirituality directly without dogma or preconceptions. The more I experienced being out of my body or other transcendent states the more I could see the interconnectedness of life and the importance of compassion. I realised that veganism and philosophies like fruitarianism were key to living in harmony with my understandings and the wider world. |
i must admit, i'm impressed! |
Thanks raspberry! |
