Truth As Life

Seek truth in all things

My last post was about living true and it’s something that has been on my mind a lot of late. I have been pondering my propensity to reach a violent level of thinking as quickly as I do. I tend to justify violence in my mind even if I no longer act on it as I did years ago. Why must I always resort to violent ways of thinking?

The answer has been in the back of my mind for a little while now but I have chosen to ignore it. I believe violence breeds violence. I believe that if we take in violence through movies and music for example, we will think and often act violently even if only mentally.

I believe, for me, the act of eating animals is taking the violence of their death into myself. So I am going to stop receiving it.

When chatting to a girlfriend today and then later with my daughter Kate – it became obvious to me that I am not living my truth which is my ultimate goal in this life. My girlfriend put it beautifully today when she said that she often has to ‘bury her head in in the sand’ just to get through her dietary dilemma. I so relate to that statement. I was chatting away unaware that Kate was listening to our conversation and I mentioned that I would probably get a Vitamix again and do my green smoothies and just enjoy living the way that feels true to my spirit. Kate immediately piped up and said ‘YES! get a Vitamix! Let’s get back to vegan!’ I found it interesting that she didn’t see the veganism as ending – just temporarily stopped. Interesting indeed.

This time however, I am doing what feels true for me and is in line with my spiritual beliefs. No longer will I be shackled by what others think, say or do. No longer will I feel apologetic for the way I wish to be. No longer will I go by a particular label. I will remain true to my spirit and follow the wisdom of my higher self.

No longer will I demand that others be the same.

So Kate and I decided to go halves in the cost of a Vitamix and we are looking forward to green smoothies, fruit smoothies, vegan ice cream and so much more.

In our future travels the communities that we will be visiting are mostly vegetarian or vegan so the thought of being with like minds attracts me even more. The amount of places that Graeme is finding for us that are alternative and vegan is kind of amusing to me – he just keeps pushing towards them unaware most of the time that his spirit is so very obviously speaking through him! His journey however is his own so it will be up to him what kind of dietary lifestyle he wishes to live.

For me, truth as life is all that matters.
