What we put into our bodies sustains not just our physical body but also influences our mind, emotions and spirit. If we put toxins (in the form of herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and other chemicals) into our system, then our bodies will be under-functioning and our thoughts and feelings will be toxic too. This will be reflected in the world at large - if we are toxic then we will perpetuate that out into our world as we have by polluting and destroying it. ie. we re-create outside that which we feel inside ourselves.

Why do we say there are too many people on the planet? Everyone can share the land, there is enough for everyone. We need too many people to share and make things easy for each other. When we start sharing with each other we make connection with one another. This is easy living! In Lebanon, thirty eight years ago, I remember no chemicals being sprayed on the land. I remember people enjoying each other, and the land, bartering and sharing with each other, growing different things - corn, wheat, apples, grapes, vegetables, figs, eggplants - everyone had a piece of land to grow a different thing, and it was beautiful - there was connection with the universe, and you see the land very green, very nice - heaven - I don't see heaven upstairs - I see the heaven in the land - the land is heaven. And Heaven is in the human, in the people, between people. Before the sun set, everybody finished working, and went to prepare their showers. We warmed the water in a big drum - me, my sisters and brothers - and tipped the water over each other with a cup. We washed and dried each other, feet and body. Everyone was the same. Then we meet other brothers and sisters and friends in the street - we all know each other - we are all one community, one family. If we didn't know a person, we were happy meeting them and getting to know them - the streets are a way to meet - this is the natural way. Everybody was a family, everybody happy, helping each other. Everything was barter - no money. You help me one week - I help you the next week. Every day was like this. Healthy land and healthy people. People staying healthy and understanding each other. There was no need for counsellors, psychologists, meditation, yoga; not many hospitals, not many doctors, not many chemists. People didn't need fixing. They just lived the natural way. I had medication before seven years ago. Since I opened the shop, six and a half years ago, I have not used medication. I was not eating organic foods before opening the shop, though I did eat food as fresh as possible from the land, from the country - I thought it was the good way to eat. I used fertiliser and spray - poison. But it wasn't good enough for my health. I visited the doctors, visited the hospital, they checked what was wrong with me. I was not happy, I was very tired, and did not know what I was doing. I saw people sit beside me suffering from diabetes, from health problems, and I decided I wanted to set up something to make myself healthy and others healthy. I said to the universe: let me change. And every day, every week I educated myself, and I saw myself improve. I wanted to open a shop for organic and natural sugar free products for people with diabetes and sickness. I opened the shop, and sold organic natural products, and sugar free products, and also organic meat and chicken. I thought the meat was good because it was organic. I served juice too. When I made a juice for a customer, I called them family, because they let me grow, they let me see. And when I finished the juice, I made myself a juice, and drank it. Every day, like this. And I cleansed my body, and I could see the door opened. I have the key now, I can open the door for every block in my body. Now, because I have the key, and I can open the door, I decide not to sell organic meat or chicken - no live kill in my shop. Now I find myself, every day, every week, every year, seeing the world - I see the whole world. Because there are no more blocks. I have no need for the doctor, for medications, for the hospital. Just organic fruit and vegetables. I am happy every day. That's why I want to make the whole world happy, every day. This is why we want to stop the chemicals. We want to stop the weapons, that destroy ourselves and our families. Who uses chemicals? He is my brother, my sister, my family, my father, my mother. Who uses weapons? The same. We are all one family. We introduce each other as our family, and we don't want to destroy each other, we want to share. That is why we need too many people - people to be on the land. The land needs us. There is plenty of room for everyone. The land needs people to work, or it gets too dry. Even now, the farmer uses chemicals, and we need him to grow organic. Remember when you spray chemicals, you protect yourself with a mask, so the chemical does not affect you - chemicals are dangerous, poisonous. When you spray on fruit and vegetables, it gets absorbed into the fruit and vegetables, in the same way that it would come into you if you were not wearing a mask. We eat the poisoned fruit, and it goes inside us. We kill the insects, but we are also killing ourselves, killing our family, killing each other. We need more people to grow organic. The land is sprayed with chemicals and gives production. Where does the production go? To make money. It goes in the bank. You make money, it goes in the bank. When you have saved enough money you decide to go on holiday. After when you go on holiday, travelling around, and you have built up your bank accounts to, say a hundred thousand dollars, you can say I have been productive. You withdraw ten thousand dollars from the bank every day,and enjoy it. How long will it last you? Ten days! And after that, what happens? No more money in the bank - dry! And so it is the same with the land. When you take from the land every year, and give it chemicals and artificial fertilizers and hormones to grow, then when the land gets sick it cannot give you any more. You give something to the land that is poisonous, and that is why we are now sick. We have large hospitals, we need more doctors, more nurses. If we use the land in the natural way, the no chemical way, we will be happy and healthy. For what are we working? We work to make money so we can visit each other and travel. From small to big. If we shared this land, with each other, and extend to each other, and go on holidays with each other, the whole world opens for us, and we have it all in front of us. What would anyone want more that that? People want to work over hours and poison the land, and see who can make the most money - every single person building up himself and his own family, working hard and making himself tired. Then he is stressed. He can't enjoy life. He needs to use different drugs to make himself happy. He needs medications. That is why we upset each other. When we share together, when we know we are one family, then the world becomes happy. If every person has one piece of wheat, and he can grow in the backyard, how many wheat's can come from the one piece of grain - ten, fifty? In every backyard we can have fifty wheat plants. And we can just keep sharing and spreading more and more wheat. And the whole world will have wheat, from that one grain. It is the same with people. We all come from the same wheat. We are all the same, white or black. Sister and brother, one family. When you see the light, do you see positive or negative electricity first? You see both together, that makes the light. It is the same with people. That is why we want all to connect with each other. We want the governments to connect with each other. We want to talk with each other about the dangerous things, weapons and poisons, and we want to use connection instead of the weapons. We won't fix the problem until we make peace with each other. Forget the different names, the different religions. In the shop, every product has a different barcode. We don't want this with people! We can all have the same barcode. Everyone can say I want to make the best for this country no matter what religion or political party they choose. When we work together, this connection can happen. Peace is power. We can grow trees instead of making weapons. We can train people how to grow vegetables, rather than how to kill. The land needs us. We don't need many factories, we don't need plastic, people don't need to work in factories, there are plenty of jobs for everyone on the land. The land dries up without us, and when you see the land dry up, you dry up too. It doesn't matter how much money you have, how many weapons - the sadness of the land comes to you. We are connected to the land. We can go back to the natural way. When will we make the decision to wake up? When you are young, there are days when you are very happy, when you say isn't it a beautiful day today! We can make the world this happy. We start by eating the right food, grown on happy land. Make the land happy, and the people will be happy. We can support each other. The Government can support us. The farmer today cannot find support, so he uses chemicals to grow more crops to make enough money for his family. We can use our voices, ask the Government to support the farmer to grow organic instead of spending on hospitals and drugs and chemicals and guns. 'Poison' means 'danger - death'. There is no difference between chemicals and guns, they both kill. The Government and Health Departments know these things are poisons, why are they being used? Growing organic is less expensive for the Government in the long run, because there is less spending on health and weapons. We don't need more hospitals, we need to share. There are less psychological problems if people share, because people are not lonely. People have connection, and connection is good for the mind. Now, everybody has a car, and the car needs petrol or gas. If we mix the petrol wrong, the car does not run. The body is the same. The mind is the same, it is affected by chemicals. We are blocked by toxins, in mind and body, and so we no longer understand each other. We lose our intelligence. When people get sick they do to the doctor, and they rely on the doctor instead of helping themselves. And sometimes the doctor doesn't even know - he is sick himself. So people need to start looking after themselves. Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food! Food is more important than meditation. When you have healthy body, healthy blood, you have automatic connection to the Universe, and you are in meditation all the time. People need to eat a variety of fruit and vegetables, in season. In different season, the food has been grown at the right temperature for us. In winter, we need winter foods, in summer we need summer foods. In different seasons, the stomach absorbs in different ways, to produce the right nutrition for the body. The stomach needs to rest from some foods and absorb different foods. This is natural, we can listen to our bodies. We have very high technology now. Doctors have very high training and knowledge. There should be less sickness, but we see more!! We are treating people who are already sick from eating wrong foods and absorbing hundreds of different chemicals and toxins and additives in the foods - colours, flavours, sweeteners, preservatives, hormones. Food is too processed. It is dead food. Why do people have excema, allergies, cancers - we spend millions of dollars on research, yet the answer is very easy. We want to spend that money on the land, to grow natural food, and people will go back to their natural state. Science is showing that organic food is far more nutritious than chemical-grown food. Organic foods make you strong. People eat meat and chicken and fish because it thinks it makes them strong. But they are full of toxins that block the body. Meat is full of stress hormones made by the dying animals. When you bring dead food into your body, you cannot be healthy. Mad cow disease is an example of this. The human being cannot absorb all the animal products we eat - the fats block digestion. As we grow older we need fruits and vegetables for our digestion - fruits and vegetables have everything we need, vitamins, minerals, enzymes. They are live foods. We need to research on food and what is good for us. Our bodies are made of the same elements as the land. We grow, live, and die the same - on the Earth. When we poison our food, we poison ourselves. When we poison the land, we poison our body. For what purpose do we have material things, if we lose our health? We cannot enjoy the material things any more. We cannot be happy when we are sick. It is the same with the land, if the land is sick it cannot give to us. If we destroy the planet we live on to make more money, we cannot use or enjoy the money. We need to do action together, this is important now, for us to wake up, to get into balance and peace again. Once we had balance and peace. We can have it again. When we change ourselves, our eating and habits, we change our family, we change the world. This message is for everyone, for the whole world. If you read and understand this message, you have responsibility to share it. We can share this message with people at all levels in society. Use love, not jealousy, love can change people. We are all at the same level. I don't mean to hurt anyone, I mean to love everyone. I don't mean to upset, I mean to be peaceful. That is why I am organic. I eat organic, I talk organic, I live organic, and I give organic. Don't blame Joe, he says what he does because he loves you and he loves the world! |
