[ShivaShakti]

“I do say to you: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything that kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are. Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn , freeze and rot your body also.”

From The Essene Gospel of Peace - Book One. Righteous live food propaganda from a bygone age. Highly recommended.

This was my 3rd extended fast of only drinking Green Hemp Milk, water and recycled urine (see issue 6 for details on urine therapy) for 25 days or more. For those of you who missed the write up of my last fast (see issue 5) here is an explanation of why I feel Hemp to be natures most perfectly balanced food.

Now most peoples association with Hemp nutrition focuses mainly on the seed. The seed of the Hemp plant provides us with a near perfect balance of essential nutrients:

Essential Fatty Acids : 30% of the seed is fat, of which 60% is unsaturated Linoleic Acid (LA - Omega 6) and 20% is unsaturated Alpha - Linoleic Acid (LNA - Omega 3). This 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to 3 is well suited to human needs.

Complete easily digestible protein, containing all 8 essential amino acids.

Hemp seeds contain the highest profile of Minerals, Vitamins and Trace elements of any edible seed.

To maximize the nutritional benefits of Hemp seed it is important to pre soak the seeds, unless freshly harvested and consumed with the flowers. Pre soaking neutralizes the enzyme inhibitors and frees up the nutrients making them more bio available. If you don’t pre soak the seeds then you end up stressing your pancreas.

Now I did say that Hemp seeds provide us with a ‘near perfect’ balance of essential nutrients. Perfect balance is achieved, I feel, by consuming the complete flowering tops of both the male and female plant.

The first reason is do with the acidity of the seed. Even after pre soaking, the seeds remain slightly acid forming. Therefore to maintain a healthy alkaline state within the body it is important to utilize the highly alkalinising leaves and flowers of the Hemp plant. The highest concentration of electron rich, alkanising, anti-oxident, Cannabinoids are found within the bract. The bract holds the seed, which together comprise the fruit of eternal life, botanicaly known as an achene. Personally I’m very much into growing my own Hemp and so from mid Summer until early Autumn, I have an abundance of fresh Hemp leaves to juice. Outside these times I use dried powdered Hemp leaf, as well as other greens such as nettles, kale, chard and various grasses (mainly kamut, barley and rye).

The other point to note is the balance of EFA’s. Now when Udo Erasmus first analysed Hemp Oil he stated in ‘Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill’, that Hemp provided us with a perfect balance of EFA’s. Since then he has come out with Udo’s Choice a blend of Oils (with no Hemp), which has a 2:1, Omega 3:6 ratio. As the leaves contain higher levels of omega 3 than omega 6, I feel that by consuming the whole, seed bearing female flower brings us into the 2:1 omega 3:6 ratio.

Though consuming a highly alkanising diet keeps me in a constant state of well being and a natural high, every so often, well most Sundays to be honest, I like to take my state of being to an even higher level of ecstatic bliss, and to do this I commune with the THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol - explained later) rich flowers of the Hemp plant.

So why does ingesting Hemp flowers get most people into a state of ecstatic spiritual bliss? Well firstly there is the fact that you are feeding your body with a perfect balance of essential nutrients, but what really starts blissing you out is when you activate the Cannabinoid receptors. The CB1 Cannabinoid receptor system was only discovered by scientists in the early 1990’s and are located primarily within the brain, mainly in the frontal cortex (which controls thought), the hippocampus (the centre for memory) the cerebellum and basal ganglia (which coordinate motion) and the limbic system (which affects emotions). There are also CB1 receptors on the spinal cord. When THC is ingested it is metabolised by the liver and converted into 11 hydroxy THC which enters the blood stream and sooner or later crosses the blood brain barrier and binds to the CB1 Cannabinoid receptors, activating the release of Dopamine - the ‘bliss drug’ which gets you ‘high’. In 1992, the Scientist who first isolated THC, discovered an endogenous (naturally occurring) Cannabinoid called ‘ananadamide’. The brain also creates another Cannabinoid called 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG). The effects of these endogenous Cannabinoids are similar to THC, and other animals also have CB1 Cannabinoid receptor systems. THC is just one of sixty or so Cannabinoids, all of which, I feel have healing properties. The scientific analysis of these is still being conducted.

Cannabis is one of the few plants, quite possibly the only plant, that is totally non-toxic. Not only does the ingestion of Cannabinoids bring us into a state of divine spiritual bliss, it does wonders for the physical body. As plants grow they absorb the Sun’s photon light energy and through the magical alchemical process of photosynthesis convert this into electron rich chlorophyll and unique to the Hemp plant, the super electron rich Cannabinoids of which Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the most electron rich molecule in the plant kingdom. As Cannabinoids are ingested they seek out free radical damage (such as tumours and cancers) and rebuild the body on a cellular level bringing us back to our perfect design self. THC also mimics the action of Estradiol, a hormone responsible for healing nerve and brain damage.

One thing that Hemp is quite low in is carbohydrates. However within the flowers we find a perfect balance of the 8 essential sugars (essential sugars allow for proper cellular communication), but none of the non essential essential we find in sweet fruits. I really noticed this during my 2nd Hemp Fast, feeling weeknes in my legs, however during my last fast I used the complex carbohydrate rich superfoods of Maca and Lacumma which really helped give me more strength and sustained energy while remaining active.

Eating the male pollen is also highly beneficial as it is a highly complex structured protein, with a wide spectrum of nutrients, growth hormones, uncorrupted DNA and high levels of lecithin which help build brain and organ tissue. The protein within pollen contains high levels of tryptophan which is a precursor to serotonin an important neurotransmitter involved in waking consciousness which converts into a regulatory hormone (melatonin) that shuts down the organ systems, quieting the body in preparation for the finer and subtler realities of higher consciousness. The pineal gland initiates a cascade of inhibitory reactions, permitting visions and dream states to emerge in our conscious awareness. Eventually, the brain synthesizes the "spirit molecules" 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine and dimethyltryptamine, facilitating the transcendental experiences of universal love and compassion.

Well thats a bit more of the science behind Hemp, but to be honest I'm not really that bothered about the science, it's what I'm feeling that counts and I'm feeling FANTABULOUS!

Once the physical body begins to be healed and the endocrine system begins to function more effectively, consuming more Hemp literrally floods the body with light bringing you into a divine state of spiritual bliss that is beyond words (and beyond the analysis of science). It’s like being fully plugged into Gaia, buzzing with the vibration of pure Love. Ah, the bliss of Cannabis.

During my 40 day ‘Super Hemp Me’ Fast it brought further confirmation of what I knew already, but rather than just knowing it, I was feeling it. More and more I feel that we are beings of Love, created from Love, sustained by Love and that Hemp is the ‘Tree of Life’, the most perfect plant on the planet. I feel that all we really need to do with Hemp is plant it and eat it. Making clothes, paper, building materials and such like are all distractions from the ultimate truth that we are naked apes designed to live in a tropical climate and not in cold, damp temperate climates where we have become slaves to the dread fire culture. Fire creates free radicals and that is the root cause of so many problems in the world today. Eating electron rich foods, primarily Hemp, helps to eliminate the damage and bring us back into balance. But can we truly heal ourselves whilst immersed in the dread fire culture, with all its pollution and unbalanced lifestyles? I think not. That’s why I aim for this to be my last year in England for a while. My plan is to leave England and fully immerse myself in nature in the Southern Mediterranean where I’m very fortunate to be the ‘caretaker’ of a few acres of south facing terraced valley with a river running through it.

I get the feeling however that I will return, as I believe that I am destined to challenge the system that claims that the most healing plant on the planet is ‘undeniably harmful’ and ‘illegal’ to grow or possess. This ‘undeniable harm’ is only to those driven by greed and wishing for people to live in fear and doubt. Fear is the absence of Love, and doubt comes from living in fear. Don’t doubt this: We are coming to the end of a 25,920 year cycle, and the end of the ‘Kali Yuga’, the most asleep part of conscience evolution, but as we approach 2012 and the end of time as we know it, we will be entering into a new dimension of existence as we head back to the centre of the Galaxy. My feeling is that at the higher dimensions of existence (the 4th dimension and beyond) the pulsing frequency of the planet will increase and those of us who have made the conscious choice of building their bodies from highly mineralised, electron rich ‘light’ foods will be able to exist within the ‘Love Frequency’, experiencing ‘Heaven upon Earth’, while those of us who have made the choice of building their bodies with demineralised, electron deficient, dense, nutritionally dead ‘junk’ foods, will be unable to exist within this frequency range and may well be stuck in a 3rd dimensional Hell.

So get planting and eat from the Tree of Life and ‘yee shall live forever’.
