Sincerely Organic, for life.

I have written before on the subject of our Way of doing things or our choices and how they matter.  I have said it and I really mean it.  When our conscience is stirred and our inner peace is either put in turmoil or simply vibrating, then it is time for action.  I feel often stirred to action.  Last August, I was pointed in the direction of searching for Organically produced clothing, cleansers, haircare and foods.  Most people know about organic foods.  We have stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joes to help educate the public.  But I went searching deeper.  I knew it was a part of my life that I needed to take a radical look at.  I discovered a number of great communities online and also some wonderful products that I switchedbrands and started using.  All in all, it has been a positive venture.  I now even write for one of the Blogs for one of the Organic companies. 

When I looked for these better products, as I said above, I performed a search for "eco-friendly" rather than "organic".  My reason for this was again a certain probing of the conscience.  There is a difference that is subtle...it is a micro-difference.  Any change, no matter the size, has the ability to multiply.  I was dabbling with a vegan lifestyle then and was feeling challenged by certain aspects of veganism.  I would be so proud to be able to call myself vegan fully, but I do stray from the vegan food chain and so to be fair, I simply say that I always choose orgainc whenever possible and live as closely to vegan dietary guidelines as I can.  I have increased my raw food intake to 50 % per day.  Last summer we had  small garden.  This Spring, I intend to do better.

This is all we can ever do is to improve from where we were last.  Wherever we left off, that is an excellent point to grow from.  The way our brains work is that we see backsliding as failure.  What we ought to be focused on is the success.  Once we get back on the track, we continue to experience more success.  It is the trick of sata'n (not Christian Satan but saTAN as in kabbalah)...it is the way to pull us off course and distract us from achieving and from overcoming our weakness.  We can become Masters over anything that once kept us enslaved.  The key is seeing ourselves already having mastered it and then we are seeing our present circumstance as the weakness and our future in victory.

There is nothing that cannot be accomplished...only what will not be accomplished due to our personal fears or doubts.  Wih patience and perseverence, there will be beautiful things created for your life.  Sometimes a brief period of loneliness or frustration or anger is needed to illuminate the right path.  Once on that path, we will struggle too but at least there is movement in the right direction.  Sooner or later, the path may resist us like an uphill battle.  But eventually, there is bound to be a hill where we can coast easily along.
