Whole Person Calendar - January 2009 by Whole Person Calendar

hen we decided to focus on creativity and the arts this month we didn’t set out to feature art that was rooted on the past, but there are no coincidences...

We are proud to publish the art and vision of Paul Heussenstamm, who has explored the ancient symbol of the mandala for many years — not only in his own work but in workshops all over the world, sharing his process and inspiring others. In his words, “Art reveals that which cannot be said and it makes visible the invisible.”

The centuries old epic, the Ramayana inspired Michael Ruccolo to organize ten artists to explore the classical yet timeless themes found in the Indian text. “The Art of Human Experience” is a one night art experience that should not be missed. Read about it here. Delores Burris explores the immediate time after death through creative writing. In an imaginary letter from a father to his son, she captures the essence of what it means to shed the human form and travel through time and space. As for the musically inclined, see The WP Recommends for several suggestions for listening and learning. Celebrate the artist in you this month.

INNER BALANCE MANDALA

Mandalas: Language of the Soul by Paul Heussenstamm We are all circles on the great mandala, and by changing the intensity of color, we clarify the fullness of each circle. Every soul is a circle with a unique combination of color and intensity. Each circle contains two individual circles with a delicate membrane between them.

numerous life experiences before the pattern of an artist fully manifested in my conscious awareness.

his powerful dream voice came through me in 1992 while I was painting in Hawaii. It clearly symbolizes the essence of my work as a painter where soul patterns are colorfully manifested through the ancient symbol of the mandala. Mandala means circle or center and it has literally been around for thousands of years, although not well known here in the West. The mandala, for me, more than any other teacher in this lifetime, has opened the doorway into the symbolic language of the soul. Once this language is known, once the doorway into the unconscious has been opened, once the dynamism of intuitive pattern reading is understood, then life as it is known changes suddenly and dramatically. As I began to open up this ancient doorway, I received access to and understanding of a soul language that has powerfully changed my life and the lives of all those who come into contact with this level of intuitive knowing. One of the true gifts of this language is a deep understanding of the patterns, symbols, and currents in Nature and how they relate to my own souls unfoldment and development. These insights highlight my journey into the potential of full radiance of the soul. As I look into my own soul’s pattern. I have come to see the long body (a way of seeing the past) of my own soul’s unfoldment. My life as an artist truly began the moment the sperm hit the egg. I now understand that a pattern was struck within the core of my psyche, or soul, at the moment of conception. Of course, it took thirty-seven years and

* * * * What I have come to know is that my art, all art, is a litmus test of the soul. From the ego-mind level, paintings and art are beautiful and moving. From the perspective of the soul, or the mind’s eye, paintings reveal the energy currents and symbols of the painter’s unconscious, and in many cases, the collective unconscious. I use the word unconscious to mean that which we carry intrinsically as human beings, but do not know consciously. Therefore, the unconscious is limitless, vast and a life long journey of exploration. MINDala

The amazing thing about the unconscious is that it is known by few here in the West. Once you have discovered your unconscious, it is the beginning of the great journey of soul alignment and development. Through this work of exploring the soul, I have realized the essence of measuring the soul: the range of feelings and the sense of presence you carry. Paintings contain the intrinsic soul quality of the artist and intrinsic patterns of our collective intelligence. This is why art has such great value. It reveals that which cannot be said and it makes visible the invisible. From the soul’s perspective, all paintings are alive, breathing, pulsating, dancing, glowing, carrying the forces of the unconscious. (continued on page 8)

existence and you can have an intimate, loving relationship with the painting and with life.

Art As A Spiritual Path: Teachings from My Soul

Art as a Spiritual Path opens the possibility of being in love, in dialogue with the Divine.

Ultimately life itself is not very serious, and life is just an overflowing energy that seems to have no purpose. An Artist is to lead life purposefully and spiritually. Likewise, an Artist is living life as play and not as work. The so-called serious mind of our society, will in fact turn play into work and art into business. An Artist lives his life as a dream and has more or less renounced the society’s serious mind. An Artist struggles with the seed that lives inside him, which can grow into such heights that outward nonsense will automatically fall away. Once you have experienced through Art your creative inner riches, there will be nothing in life that is comparable. Once an Artist finds his creative bliss, the usual forms of enjoyment, entertainment, and possessions seem foolish, and also begin to fall away as you connect with your inner ecstasy. Ultimately, through the heart, an Artist has communicated something that cannot be communicated through words. The message is hidden in all works of art. Here are the keys to Art as a Spiritual Path; a painting is a visual mantra that is seen over and over in a particular way and felt over and over again in a feeling way; and an Artist has emphasized in his own way a heightened frequency that can transform your consciousness. An Artist creates a wavelength painting through time. Having a relationship with a painting creates waves that go deep into the psyche and penetrate into consciousness. The mind exists only when there is past or future. To enter a painting, you must not think because you can’t think in the present. The moment you think, it has become the past. The mind cannot exist in the present. It exists only in the memory of the past, or it projects into the future. It never comes into direct contact with the present; it is impossible. Without thought there is no mind, and no-mindness means a new awareness and an expanded consciousness. So many of the great paintings both in the West and in the East come from an essence that isn’t from the mind. There you have a chance, a moment of possibility, to enter the here and now of the painting. Then you begin to explore the reality of the painting, which may lead to an inner realization; or that reality may explode through your eyes into your heart. When you realize that paintings have an existence, you can create a bridge between you and the painting. When you see the life, the Soul, of a painting, there can be a dialogue with all

When one is studying a painting, the mind goes on and on. The mind will continue unless you become very aware. When entering a painting, there can be a miracle. The moment you become aware, there will be no past. Now you can enter the moment fresh, ultrasensitive, alert, and alive. In a painting you can truly be reborn into the current of the painting. The Upanishads called this “the inner space of the heart.” This space; I can only describe as a space of consciousness — the expression of awareness. Through art, the mind transcends above thinking, above the past, opens the vulnerability of your heart to depths of feelings and new dimensions. Art is a metamorphosis, a transformation of your own mind, an awakening transformation of the surface reality into an eternally living consciousness.

PAPAYA MANDALA

Art as a Spiritual Path transforms and changes your attitudes toward existence and opens you to the sky of consciousness. The whole of existence found in a painting becomes a flow of love, great feelings, compassion, and the experience of grace through the Divine. A celebrated Artist is loved and will be throughout time, through thousands of eyes and hearts. The Artist opens each viewer to a joyous celebration.

In India, the Hindu religion has created deities with a thousand hands in every direction. This means that everywhere there is a hand. Nowhere can you go where the divine hand will not be upon you. There is an embrace of the Divine everywhere. When you see the whole of the Art World through time, you will see a thousand armed deity in our world — the Artist as a hand of the Divine in all times, in all places, and extending out to one who has opened her/his heart through art, a painting, or thousands of other keys that unlock the direct experience of the Divine. When you become meditative through art, your body will become so sensitive. When the heart is opened, your eyes see deeper; you feel more; even your organs feel deeply. Ordinarily, we never really see, hear, or feel fully — just so-so. When your heart is opened — painting, like passing through a garden — awakens you to the glory of the moment. In Western life, our eyes have become insensitive, just like our feelings and our intuition... the body has also become this way. Our whole culture is against the Heart Awakening. The Artist gives us an opportunity to reawaken to our birthrights — our true gifts — where we are reborn into a life that connects us with the Divine and we have a powerful, moment-to-moment relationship with our Soul.

KUAN YIN’S TEMPLE MANDALA

Art is outside of time and space and always will be. One of the great problems and really diseases of our modern society is a mind that is in a hurry. The new phenomenon of our society is time-consciousness, which has changed radically changed our awareness and our lives. We have become so time-conscious that not for a single moment can we wait, stay in the moment. It seems impossible these days. Therefore, art that is timeless is separated from our world, it’s out of reach. This isn’t so when you go to an ancient temple, in India for example, where the art has been meditated on and prayed to for 1000’s of years. For example, in the Ellora temples, just a few kilometers from Bombay, you can experience sacred paintings and stone carvings, meditated and prayed on for over 1,500 years. The whole place is consecrated to the Divine through the Spiritual values of beauty and Artistic creations. If you find any Artist or any art, just surrender to the universe. And the awakening may happen. The Artist in you may appear. When you are fully open, fully vacant, totally more or less empty, then the spiritual force rushes toward you and fills you. So always remember that whenever you feel like surrendering, do not lose the moment. It may never come again. Surrender to art and art will

Through the heart, an Artist has communicated something that cannot be communicated through words. The message is hidden in all works of art. Our society knows very little about the Soul and true art. It’s a miracle when an Artist creates a visual landscape of the mysteries of life. Our culture has interfered with our true nature. Opening the heart connects us with the wisdom of our body’s vast realms of experiences. We spend enormous amounts of money renovating and building museums ($4.5 billion in the past few years) and very little on the development of the Artist to fill the museums. The National Edowment for the Arts (NEA) has been severely stripped of both its freedom to create and the collective means of supporting the Artist. Our way of seeing and understanding art is old, and the mystery isn’t there. Art can penetrate into your innermost depths. Unless we transcend our present form of relating to art, there will be no direct Spirituality. Unless the Artist knows how to explode into the Soul of the viewer, then both the Artist and the viewer will not be reborn into the dimension of the Divine. If you can meditate on a painting and open to its mystery, then you are opening your own Soul to life’s hidden mysteries. Each day great change happens, and each day we are present for these changes in the body, in the mind, in the emotions, and in the heart. Without this meditation, civilization has a way of making us unconscious. This is the way we try to create or enter art. We must move to our Heart Center and open our hearts in order to awaken into the Divine quality of paintings and life. My experience is that Artist must be initiated either from a teacher or from life. In Buddhism, the term for initiation and for the one who is being initiated is Srotapanna, one who has come into the current. Great Art is flowering just like an enlightened Buddha and carries the same form of currents or energies. One who has been initiated and surrenders fully to it, falls into the current and starts flowering. You have only to find a favorite Artist, such as Monet, and you can easily see through your heart that he carried unquestionably this current. I recommend spending a day at Giverny where Monet created his true alter to the Divine goddess of beauty.

BUTTERFLY MANDALA

become a teacher to you. Many things will be revealed to you from art that no book or scripture can reveal to you. Surrender to a color, and the color may become a God to you, or the color will reveal things that no God can reveal to you. The Ultimate is surrender, which is the path of the Artist, the spiritual path of the Artist. This is the initiation and entry into the spiritual life through the creative process.

The Days After Death: A letter to my son by D.L.Burris From the editor: Though many fear death, no one alive really knows what happens when we die. The following is an excerpt from a longer piece that explores the time that passes after a life has ended. Join the writer in her imaginative journey; she writes from the perspective of a recently deceased man, Lewis, as he speaks in a letter to his son. At this point in his story, Lewis has come to terms with his death and recently discovered that he can manipulative his spirit — geographically and spatially. Join him in his exploration.

y spirit just seemed to wander off from my will. My will was growing weaker; my spirit wanted nothing more than to drift. I had no purpose, just the imperatives of my wishes. I now have a different feel for whatever that continuum is from life to death…to life. Can it be that we are the only creatures on earth who concern ourselves about an afterlife? Maybe we are the only ones that feel a need to do so. * * * * So then, I simply drifted. I drifted toward a scent that had always invigorated me, the smell of the ocean. How could it have reached me so far inland? It does not even matter. How could I travel from San Marino to the Pacific Ocean? I can only describe it as an unbelievably simple trip. I leveled out parallel to the earth and propelled myself toward my destination. There was no need to carefully plot my voyage. I didn’t even have to look ahead. I simply attached myself to the space before me. What a contrast to my college experiences when I was on the track team. I had always run thudding along, straining against seconds, against the meaningless records of other runners, never for the joy of running, just to place my sweating body ahead of everyone else. It was the same when I was on the swim team. I raced against the clock in chlorinated, lifeless water. It was nothing like the joyous journey I now took. I landed at the edge of the Pacific Ocean wandering, at first, just a tentative distance from the shore. From there I spiraled out in little eddies. Should I swim? Merely swim? Well, I was no longer a puny, limited human, with one foot anchored at the seashore. I quickly slipped beyond the coast into that part of the great, thumping ocean itself. With no concern about the physical parameters of my being,

drawn by some alien level of recklessness, I curled myself into wave after wave, hurling myself in pounding, flattening power against the shore. I sprawled out in an area roughly twenty times my size, alternating between swelling, milky foam, and salt-filled spray. I was now great slapping sheets of water. From all that whirling energy, I would return again to my distance from the shore and repeat it, every bit of it, but with infinite variations. My new being scraped happily back and forth across the sand. I was in my element. I was beyond enjoyment. I was taking my place in that very part of the universe which was central to other balances, other interlocking forces. I was the western ocean, come fresh from the clouds and the rainfall. My surface, heated under the sun, rippled with power and joy. And all this in the middle of the work week!

Can it be that we are the only creatures on earth who concern ourselves about an afterlife?

I no longer inhabited my usual fleshy casing. I traveled by becoming part of the sprays, droplets, and arching crests of the ocean’s surface. I could affect the shape of the foam, or was it affecting me? I rolled in it, blew through it, coursed back and forth with cold water crackling throughout my being. I was the exact size I needed to be with the precise amount of strength needed to roil my happy way across the vast Pacific. How long did this adventure last? Time was a blur to the remnants of my human mind. Time was now being measured by magnetic tugs, by changes in pressure and temperature. Those were the forces which told me what to do next. * * * * Off in the distance I suddenly heard high-pitched staccato clicks. A school of porpoises surfaced, each one arching its powerful way (continued on page 39)

The Art of Human Experience andinsky one said, “That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.” On October 7th, 2010, LYFE Yoga Center is presenting a group art show, “The Art of Human Experience,” comprised of artists’ reinterpretations of the Ramayana. Written over 2000 years ago, the Ramayana tells the story of love and war, truth and ideals as well as fear and courage. In times of strained relations amongst community and individuals, art movements spontaneously respond to counteract these inequities. Ancient texts continue to provide guidance for today’s social dilemmas. People are looking to artists to lead the way into new realms of thought, or in this case, illuminate threads of thought that have remained illusive for centuries. In creating the show, the owner of LYFE Yoga Center, Michael Ruccolo and guest curator, Crista Riccio selected ten American artists to portray the classical themes of the Indian epic. They set out to explore these themes despite the cultural and historical differences. For the show, they focused on the fourth book, Kishkinda Kanda, because within its story, two different communities unite for one common goal. Each artist based their work upon selected chapters, not to retell the story, but to convey the common beauty and richness that unites us all. Ruccolo sat with Loyal Marymount Doshi Professor of Indic and Comparative Theology Christopher Key Chapple to discuss the story of the Ramayana.

MOUNTAIN LIONS © Mia Bosna, 2000 Gouache/colored pencil Mia Bosna is trained as a traditional illustrator and fine artist from Pennsylvania, but is mostly known for her ability to incorporate the intangible qualities of intuition and her spiritual life into her paintings. From The University of the Arts to the The Foundation of Shamanic Studies, she has been a student of many great institutional and indigenous teachers. Her paintings are created to inspire and motivate us to utilize our gifts and move towards our deepest desires. The symbology shown in “Mountain Lions” emerged from her shamanic journey for a client in Pennsylvania.

CHAPPLE: How might these paintings

inspire Yoga students to learn more about traditional Indian culture?

RUCCOLO:This Epic is such a beautiful

story and like the Bhagavad Gita, The Ramayana profoundly affected me. My hope in integrating an Indian text with contemporary art is to provide our yoga community yet another way to elevate our Human Spirit. The Ramayana is a classic tale of man meets woman, man overcomes obstacles to win her hand in marriage, happiness follows, interrupted by tragedy. Through adversity and with tenacity, man and woman are reunited and then live a happy life, but not without a taste of enduring irony and a bit of sadness. The Ramayana does not shy away from the emotional highs and lows of life. Ravana steals Sita from Rama. With Hanuman’s assistance, Rama rescues Sita, but harbors suspicions of infidelity (unfounded) until the very end.

How does Rama represent Everyman? Rama represents the preserver of Life. And with such an awesome responsibility man isn’t left with the rules for preservation, leaving him to suffer. But the source of power to over come all suffering lies within him. “The mind and heart always sway capricious but the Self unswerving is the greatest guide.” How does Sita represent Everywoman? On a universal level, Sita represents kindness, grace, beauty, restraint and awareness. Her [womanness] is metaphorically described in the story of Siva’s Bow. Siva arrived at his father-in-laws to kill all who disgraced his wife Sati; but, instead, Siva paused, reflected and observed the act he was about to commit and chose to forgive, laying down his bow. How does Hanuman represent the faithful servant and friend? Hanuman represents someone you can lean on — someone you know will be there when times are prosperous or challenging. With a steady clear mind, Hanuman doesn’t question either his monkey King Surgiva nor friend Rama. (continued on page 49)

MSIA teaches Soul Transcendence, which is becoming aware of yourself as a Soul and as one with God, not as a theory but as a living reality. The Soul is who you truly are; it is more than your body, your thoughts or your feelings. It is the highest aspect of your Self, where you and God are one. MSIA provides tools and techniques that allow you to experience your Soul and, therefore, your own divinity.

“All that you want to be, you already are. All you have to do is move your awareness there and recognize the reality of your own Soul.”

MSIA presents an approach that focuses on how to incorporate spirituality into your everyday living. We call it “practical spirituality”. Visit www.msia.org for more information on events and classes in your area.

� � � � � � �� (Death continued from page 12) through water. Their voices were the sounds I heard, announcing their course, sounding distances, gauging mass and volume. How must it feel to be such a creature, to travel in smooth, grey muscle, to experience such powerful, cleaving travel? But then, could I simply leave the ocean’s domain and enter the body of the creature nearest me? Yes, easy as the thought itself, I did it. I swam alongside the porpoise nearest me, gradually stretching myself throughout its being. Twisting into its muscles…I was taut, supple, and unstoppable. Tiny creatures sluiced through my mouth. Movement alone was both my fuel and my propellant. Signals from the very core of the earth guided me. I moved for the sheer joy of doing so. I crashed through my domain, sending sprays of water through the air with each descent beneath the ocean’s surface. I did it for reasons governed only by my nature; it was my sustenance, my joy. * * * * I cannot say how long I continued. I know only that I went on as long as needed. Once spent, I slipped from the porpoise’s body and floated onward. How many days? How many nights? Does it matter? I finally came to rest on an unfamiliar shore; perhaps it was Catalina Island or Anacapa. It may even have been Belize. The names I had used as a human to designate places were, somehow, no longer of any use to me. What did it matter? The ocean mattered, the sun, moon, the air, all mattered. Naming a landmass was as of much importance to me as naming a passing cloud. Edging my way onto the shore I came upon a section warm with layers of dead leaves. It was there that I slept. * * * * My boy, I have begun wondering about all the beauty I have seen. What is to be my purpose here? Is it simply to develop increasingly

heightened sensitivities? Am I to continue voyages of adventure and discovery? I have arrived at a point where I have no interest in examining my purpose. Living in the “now” is all I care about. Sure, there are dim feelings of unease but only for brief moments. Those feelings are not strong enough to make me turn from all that my new world offers me. In fact, everything I have seen and experienced so far makes me greedy…no, makes me yearn for more. Greed has no place in my spirit now. I have taken on so many shapes and forms. Am I being presented with choices? I am no longer part of any “human” cycle but am I ready to leave this realm, this Earth? My whole being has been shattered and then reassembled. Do I remain here, hovering near and around Earth? For my days after death I had expected something so very different, something other than just living on the “other side” of my fleshy past. So far there has been neither stranger nor friend to greet me and yet I do not find it in the least disturbing. I have experienced little miracles as common as breathing but more awesome than halls of malachite. I am filled with wonder…I am, at last, at peace. Delores Burris has been on a journey of spiritual inquiry about The Days After Death for many years. As with many of us, relatives have slipped from our lives. Many dear friends were killed by the AIDS virus. At each loss, Delores wrote down wishes, hopes and fantasies about what she hoped everyone might experience on their spiritual journey. Those thoughts developed into a powerful vision of the amazing and joyous transformations that lay ahead. We all know we are so much more than our bodies. Our spirits, once released, will join the earth’s healing powers and cycles of wondrous energy even more glorious than those described in The Days After Death.

How might Sita, whose name means “furrow of earth” be seen as the ongoing movement and dance of life?

Kathleen Kenneally, L.Ac.

◀

What a great question. Without Sita this Indian Epic would not exist. Rama lives for Sita and Sita lives for Rama. When Sita is taken by Ravana, he gives her a year to accept him, to fall in love with him. Every act or movement that occurs on either side of the sea is because of Sita, but some don’t necessarily consider her a source for life. Vibheeshana, Ravana’s brother, calls her out as the end of Ravana.

RAPTURE, 2010 Natural African Bubinga hardwood Abstract in form, the woven pieces of Charles Gardner represent a whimsical yet contemplative perspective of the energy that unites us all. This intertwined landscape initially presented itself to Gardner through a life-changing experience in late 1999. First appearing as separate strands, life’s infinite expressions gently merged into an interconnected woven fabric since then the motivation behind his work. It is simply the sheer joy of being another strand of expression in the weave of this continuous evolving tapestry of life. Carving ‘Rapture’ by hand out of a solid piece of African Bubinga hardwood in the open air of his Redondo Beach studio was both an internal as well as external process of discovery.

HOMAGE TO THE JOURNEY, 2007 21 X 18 inch Photographic print Victoria Sebanz is a muti-media artist based in Los Angeles, California. She expresses herself through poetry, photography, dance, mixed media and painted works. “As a dancer I learned to connect to others and play through the senses. Movement, texture, shape and shadow became the bones for my work. In the end, (If there is any) it is about holding a moment, a thought in time and allowing it space to stretch, to breathe.” Asked about “Homage to the Journey” she answered, “This is a perfect metaphor for the chapter I’ve been assigned. The key (the answer) is with us all the time, yet we often fail to recognize it as such. Instead we trudge through life heavily burdened and distracted from the truth.”

He acts with strength and courage, against all adversity. While others rage or lament, Hanuman is there to transcend the mind’s conditions. Whether he assures his King of no worry, reminds his King of a promise made or overcomes his own doubt, Hanuman is not only a faithful servant and friend, Hanuman is a teacher and warrior.

◀

How might their union and reunion be seen as the ultimate connection of Self to Self? Are you asking if the individual Self is connecting to the Cosmic Self? Rama and Sita are human. They are affected by what they see, hear, feel, taste, smell and think but together their strength overcomes the powerful senses that distract us from our purpose. “The Art of Human Experience” opens October 7th from 7- 9PM at the LYFE Yoga Center, 1310 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, 90254. The opening party includes a screening of an animated version of the story called “Sita Sings the Blues”, and a a performance of traditional Indian dance.

Mindful Business

Strategies by Mark Jacobs, RScP About a month ago, I decided to say “yes” to my soul’s yearning to leave everything behind for awhile and drive. I zig-zagged up the west coast deliberately soaking in the varied landscape along the way, staying in quiet monasteries, Buddhist houses or interspiritual retreat centers. It’d always been the demands of work that kept me from taking such a trip; ironically, those demands became the catalyst for me to go. I often gently push clients and friends, particularly those in the healing arts, to retreat from their lives for a few days whenever possible. Not only will such a sojourn recharge the inner battery, it will likely allow completely new ideas, directions or perspectives to emerge alongside a deeper, personal honesty about who we are and what we want once the toil of day-to-day life is set aside. I realize that many weeks away from personal and professional responsibilities are not doable for most, but it may be easier than otherwise thought. With a concrete intention, a little planning and making the emotional space for others to love and support you in your needs, a journey into the unknown is possible for almost everyone. Certainly, a week or two can be done and if still resistant, who can say “no” to three or four days to recapture one’s connection to the Infinite, to discover how our gifts can be used more effectively, to retrieve the passion for our life-work once so palpable. While driving through Montana on a cloudless day in early September, I was struck by the vast expanse of the blue sky. It reached down to the plains in every direction, out to the distant hills and up to the darker reaches of space. I stopped to appreciate the magnanimity of the experience, for the limitless sky reminded me just how limitless the possibilities are for me. I felt at peace with all I saw around me, one in the endless Source. For the first time in months, it seemed I could do anything. It was more than day-dreaming or vain imagining, it was the simple truth. Then and there, I understood what it meant to allow my life-work – my whole life actually – to unfold less from my head but through my heart, from the deepest guidance of my soul. The message was clear – “Let Love lead the way.” Many of you will undoubtedly ask, “How does love pay the rent, get new clients, keep gas in my car?” All I can offer are three observations: 1.If what you consider to be your life-work isn’t infused with love and performed for the love of Grace, perhaps it’s time to consider how your gifts can be better utilized. 2.How much time have you actually spent listening for the guidance you seek in spiritual practice such as meditation, prayer, chant or through the creative arts?

3.The more you encounter the presence of stillness, the more adept you become at discerning your soul’s call. When you disengage from what you or others think is best and engage with what your inner voice nudges you to be, you will discover the infinite well of love, the love that will not lead you astray. Deliberate retreat from the daily responsibilities of business and life will produce unimagined fruits – true balance, uncompromised appreciation for the present moment and self-knowledge through honest evaluation. It’s an essential element that not only revitalizes the mind and body, but retreat from the world gives the soul a chance to finally have its say.

Goat’s Cheese Pizza with Caramelized Onions

Foodie

by Sharon Hall The Healthy Foodie Loves Goats Remember Heidi? As a child, I was enthralled with the book. I especially adored the description of her idyllic life with the goats; how every morning for breakfast, grandfather would give Heidi a brimming bowlful of the fresh, raw milk that made her rosy and healthy. The recent crackdowns on raw foods--(see August WP Where’s My Kombucha?) is disturbing to say the least. I recently learned of a woman who raises goats.This single mother is being harassed by the authorities, and no longer allowed to sell her goat’s milk products to restaurants or local farmer’s markets in order to provide for her family. What the heck is going on? Fellow foodie Joanie Blaxter writes: the raw foods movement is starting to generate a lot of consumers and that includes those who are getting more educated about the benefits of raw milk. In the simplest terms, milk is comprised of amino acids strung together like biochemical tinker toys. If you heat the milk, it’s comparable to smashing your hand down on the tinker toys – it flattens the amino acids to such a degree that the body has difficulty recognizing it as food. Furthermore, there are 15 very powerful anti-pathogenic agents in raw milk that are destroyed as soon as you heat it. The reason the dairy industry is so adamant about preventing anyone from even being interested in raw milk is because as an industry it depends upon mass production and you cannot mass produce, transport long distances or have a long shelf life with raw milk. Follow the money.

1 packet active dry yeast 2 cups unbleached white flour or 2 cups combination of white and rye 2 T olive oil 1 T salt 1 T honey 1 cup warm water Topping 1-2 cups sliced sweet yellow or red onions salt olive oil and/or butter 1 cup goat cheese or feta, crumbled fresh rosemary, minced In small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; too hot kills it, too cold doesn’t get it going. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups

Although you can certainly make this pizza with pasteurized goat cheese or feta, it’s great made with good raw milk goat’s cheese, if you can find it. While enjoying, give thanks to the brave men and women who are now, apparently, acting outside the law to bring raw foods. For more information about the benefits of raw milk and raw milk products, visit www.westonprice.org. Sally Fallon’s book “Nourishing Traditions”, is also an

bread flour, olive oil, salt, honey and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine. Beat well until a stiff dough has formed. Cover and rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. While dough is rising, place onions in a saute pan with either the olive oil or a combination of oil and butter.At medium heat, heat the onions start to cook; move them around to avoid sticking, but let them set for a bit to brown--like a few minutes, then stir. Add salt after 15 minutes, then let the onions brown for another 15 to carmelize. Set aside. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Form dough into a round and roll out into a pizza crust shape. Brush surface with olive oil, layer on the carmelized onions, and sprinkle with the goat cheese and minced rosemary. Bake for 20-30 minutes, preferably on a pizza stone, or until crust is golden brown. Serves 2-4

excellent source of valuable wisdom about the benefits of raw milk. WAPF has started the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, primarily to come to the aid of the many small farmers, many of whom are Amish, who are being put out of business as a result of raids and legal battles with the FDA.

Tina Turner Sings from Love New Earth Records recently released the album Beyond: Buddhist and Christian Prayers featuring Tina Turner, Dechen Shak-Dagsay, and Regula Curti. “With the Beyond album we wish to share our vision that whoever we may be, whatever religion we may come to - when we pray and our prayers come from our deepest heart, a transformation takes place and we find ourselves 'Beyond right and wrong.' We experience the immense power of deep spirituality whenever we chant together, although each person is praying in his own tradition. On this CD, we have Tina Turner chanting three Buddhist prayers and imparting the overall spiritual message, Dechen ShakDagsay singing Buddhist prayers, and Regula Curti singing Christian prayers.” The Dalai Lama, writes “Bringing together corresponding pieces from Christian and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, as has been done here, will allow listeners to share in these prayers, stirring thoughts of deeper respect and peace in their lives.” For more information about the new release, visit the website at:
