Heroic Steemians!
I knew I had to make a post today but I was unsure what content to post! Alas, the universe has granted me beautiful content through the channels of Sadhguru.
If you are not aware, Sadhguru has launched an Indian wide campaign called Rally for Rivers. He is raising awareness about the health of India's rivers. It is a campaign promoting love and regeneration that reaches beyond simple environmentalism. "Ganga, Krishna, Narmada, Kaveri – many of our great rivers are depleting fast. If we do not act now, the legacy we hand over to the next generation will be one of conflict and deprivation. These rivers nurtured and nourished us for thousands of years. It is time we nurture and nourish them back to health."
He just posted a series of videos that fit well with my current beliefs on fruits being our most precious food source and the impact that harvesting fruit will have on the future. I will post these videos now with brief summaries.
Fruit is a historic staple of India (the human race as a whole). Sadly, Sadhguru notices that the loss of natural natives fruits is not only hurting humans but all species. The traditional Indian diet as we know it was high in fruits, and Sadhguru claims "Indian people are unusually intelligent mainly because of their fruit consumption...it is 100% true." I am ecstatic that Sadhguru is saying this because it IS TRUE!! The universal consciousness will speak to you this truth if you listen. For those who care for statistics, "if 30% of our diet becomes fruit, 40% of the health care bills in the world will come down." Again, it is heart wrenching that "in India right now fruit consumption is at 4%...per capita...in the elite segment." This is the reality of the United States as well. I can see it. And Western Medicine has brainwashed us with protein diets and scared us of sugar, falsely grouping all sugars together, which creates a feeling that high fructose corn syrup and fructose are the same kind of harmful SUGAR. NOT TRUE! LOVE FRUIT!
This video brings tears to my eyes as my soul has spoken to me that we in the Americas, ideally everywhere we can, must create more fruit agriculture. Sadhguru claims parts of India are planning to make 50% horticulture into fruit agriculture. Think of the payoffs socially, environmentally, and spiritually. "60% of Indian fruit goes rotten." This is despicably unjust.
Today's medicine pushes us to drink more water. This is unfortunately misunderstood. We need to eat our water, primarily. Humans thrive on fruits, foods that are 80 to 90% water. Yet, we eat dry, dead, acidic food and drink water which doesn't have the chemical or energetic experience that is specific to us. If we learn to eat more fruits, we can cut back on need for plastic water bottles, purifying natural water, and we can help starving, dehydrated, malnourished populations more effectively.
We need to plant more fruit trees. I've mentioned this in previous posts. Communities will flourish if we have communal fruit trees. Environments will be more blissful - we will be more blissful. Plucking fruit from tree is a symbiotic experience of love. Where has it gone? We will be able to cut back on corporate food waste. We will be able to save the environment and fight pollution.
Steemit community, this post is really speaking to me. I hope it speaks to you as well.
As always, I think about you all every day, and I wish everyone peace, love, and happiness.
Namaste,
Captain Pearson
