"Who you are speaks so loudly, I can not hear a word your are saying" ~ Emerson

So who are you? Hmm, I gather that be a question one would find difficult to answer. Maybe not. maybe you have looked inside, and Even further. Maybe you have experienced your true self and seen your true colours. Something's you can not find staring at a mirror or being with a councillor. When I started my journey with living plant based nutrition I started with a closed mind. Then it hit me big time; "Bang!" Living food took me to a place of self exploration. I searched the fringes of my heart' Why I do the things I do and have continued to do for so long. I never used and adjunct as I thought the purity was more than enough.

For a while the purity served me, it helped me grow. It made me wise beyond my years again. I say again in context as I would like you to figure that one out.

Living food took me far and wide, "a little to far off course" On my quest of truth i discovered a road that had been subject to a blockade. I tried my own approach of getting around the blockade.

However from all angles the blockade was prevalent, frustration was an understatement. I tried meditation, I tried positive thinking, I tried talking about it. I tried the Tony Robbins approach by "asking myself the right questions"

And so on. The road that I speak of is the who am i road. The why am I here road

In India they have a word for this kind of road, and that is 'Dharma.' For a long time I did not have a dharma, a goal, a reason for being here. Some people go through their whole lives without finding theirs. One persons dharma is another's bad karma... Each individual person on this earth has a unique reason for being here. A one of a kind mission for each immortal soul, it's that feeling you get when you get up with the passion and drive to get it done. Even without it having an end result it is the ultimate pleasure. It ignites your fire, enriches your soul and sparks the will to live which will burn inside you eternally.

Some may be reading this thinking "I want one of those." And you may have searched and wondered, explored and excavated. Only to find that what you find is just another thing you aren't passionate about. This is what happened to me, until i found my truth.

I witnessed the Queen of the Forrest, I mated with her, she showed me all of her colours.

I have danced with a little deer and rang the bells with St. Peter's; I have smelled the beautiful flower of Datura and nursed the baby woodrose, Flown with the agaric and spoke the words of liberty. I carved my future with the African wood and done it all with a frog in my throat. To witness the glory of the morning is a site for sacred eyes.

"And oh nicotiana, you are wild you are free, and such a travel is right for me."

What does all this mean? If you have ever travelled you will know. In your heart do these medicines speak. The medicines of the Forrest, the bewilderment of the barks, the soul of the seeds & rapture of the digital concrete jungle of with it the chemical Imposter latches.

I speak of plant medicine. Not the kind you may find in a health food store. I speak of the sassafras. The Ayahuasca, the peyote buttons and San pedro cactus.

What you may refer to as drugs I refer to as a key, that unlocks the door to freedom. The door of illusion is what most people walk through. Easy it is to walk through such a door that is left open. But the door of freedom is kept locked. The secrets must be kept as just that 'a secret.'

You are being deceived by the greatest lie ever told, all of us have been. The lie of not only cooking food but the lie of TV, the lie of a 9-5 job to pay the bills on a house that you do not own even if bought.

The lie that you need to medicate yourself because of the illness you have from being mineral, enzymes and polysaccharide deficient, spiritually deficient accompanied by a major karmic overload. You are not sick you are misguided, you are infected with a lie.

"Clouded is the dark side of the force, difficult to see it is" ~ Yoda

My friend Sky knows the truth, My 112 year old yogi friend from India knows the truth. Children know the truth, My friend Susan knows the truth. My friend David knows the truth, My shaman friend Don knows the truth.

Do you know? have you ever flown with the Mario mushroom?

Have you ever drank the bitter truth of ayahuasca?

Your mission is clear, Your dharma is true but How you get there is up to you.

Its funny to me that the substances that make you unconscious are legal. The ones that build consciousness are illegal. Ask yourself why this might be. Why is TV legal? Think about it! It's the most mind altering piece of equipment anyone could ever wish to use, it can make a broke man spend his last £ on something he does not need. It can make a new mother switch from natural breast milk, to a genetically modified, puss filled, viral loaded cow formula.

Which leads me onto the reason why I wrote this blog. To educate, you do not have to do the things I have done. You can choose your own path, all I am saying is plant medicine gets you there faster! From what takes 20 years of meditation can take 20 minutes on peyote.

The Amazonian tribes know this, the Taoist Immortals know this, the Siberian shamans know this, I can go on. The point is I found it, I am here to serve that is why I am here. I am here for truth and education. I am here to bring you the cutting edge, the full download of what nutrition is all about. I am here to deliver you the best living foods, herbs and the cutting edge research of such things this world has ever produced. I am here to be your servant you are my master. I am here to give you all of which I discover and more without any dogma but blunt force truth. I am here to bare all In front of your naked eyes. You want the truth? I will give you that, but the truth sometimes has a way of penetrating your very soul. Accept it, role with it. Live and love with every vibration you encounter.

Ps: Cacao most definitely falls under this category, WARNING! It may teach you how to love not only yourself but others also.

Do you practise worship? Of course I do not mean Buddhism or Christianity.

I mean do you follow a Guru?

For a long time now I have seen many people get so caught up in what to do and what is the best way to do it. I have seen many come and go, following good and bad advice. I must confess, when I first started consuming food in the way I do now, I myself did a fair bit of following. I believe this is a good thing in order to take the easy road of which you seek at the start, because let’s be honest, if it was hard at the beginning not many of us would stay on the rocky road of dietary success.

My story is a difficult one right from the start:

Over 7 years ago I weighed nearly 22 stone; from as far back as I can remember I was always in hospital. At birth I was diagnosed with asthma and by my second year on this earth, I had already died twice in hospital from this debilitating disease. The doctors put me on numerous medications including steroids. Growing up was not as easy, the medication had side effects. Especially the steroid medication, at five years old I was heavier than most pre-teens. The medication had caused dramatic weight gain and immense cravings for food. With this type of yoyo effect going on inside my body I literally started breaking down at a young age, and by the time I reached my early teenage years I already had symptoms of Toxicity.

• Constant Headaches

• Acne

• Body Pain

• Foul smelling faeces

• Urinary tract infections

• Excessive weight gain

• Memory Loss

• Undesirable smells under armpits and feet

• Yellowing of the whites of the eyes

• Dizzy spells and loss of consciousness

• Eczema

• Psoriasis

• Oedema/Fluid retention

• Loss of taste and sensation in hands and feet

• Excessive sweating

At the age of thirteen I was diagnosed with ADHD. Needless to say the doctors put me on more medication the very powerful stimulant Ritalin. The side effects were severe, my knees started to wear down and my joints ached tremendously. I walked around like a zombie for years. My mother did not want this for me she was heartbroken and still feels the pain of it all. The reason my mother said yes to having me on Ritalin is because without medication no school would be willing to educate me as I was very aggressive and intensely hyperactive not to mention my mother was threatened to have me taken away from her if it was her decision not to have me on the medication. My mother felt powerless and out of control, she was told she was a bad mother because she did not want me medicated.

This occurred for many years right up until I was 18 years old. However the story is not all sad. Growing up I have always been interested in books. Ever the reader if I could manage to focus my attention long enough. I have always had a thirst for knowledge, a passion for pages. I discovered a book, a book that would rock my world and change my life.

The Raw Food Diet

My first introduction to raw food was the book Natures First Law. The book described how the cooking of food destroys the food entirely, eliminating any medicine in the food itself. The authors went on to state that humans who come to buy, grow or forage raw plant foods which contain vitamins, enzymes, minerals and essential sugars that are denatured by cooking, unquestionably transform what once was a medicine into a poison by cooking.

The modern scientific community have deemed this to be correct, with the discovery of acrylamide and many other toxic compounds being created by fire. The authors then went onto state that once this poison is introduced to the body (the food), the person eating the food then goes to a doctor to treat the disease symptoms that has manifested due to the cooking of food and creation of toxins, with the preventative medicine being accessible in the raw food in the first place.

This was the first time I had heard anything like this and it made sense at that point in my life. Something clicked inside me and I decided to go from a cooked food/junk food diet. To a 100% raw plant food diet overnight!

But is 100% Raw right for you? Many so called “Gurus” will tell you 100% raw food is the perfect diet for man! I do not disagree, but I do disagree with the dogmatic approach of which they pursue to preach. Many of you reading this come from many walks of Life. With a different constitution for each and every one of you, it is not realistic to approach dietary success with a one world view, while I advocate as much raw as possible. I know that if someone is suffering from certain types of cancer, that it may be impossible for that person to consume 100% raw food. But the most beautiful thing about raw food is that we can all understand and connect with raw food, we can all eat at least some raw food. That’s a gift we have all been given! Let’s cherish that in every way possible.

Now back to the subject of “Gurus” I have had the privilege of connecting and becoming Great friends with the likes of David Wolfe and many others who most in the raw food world consider a Guru!

Trust me David Wolfe is a health educator and on his game, and in no way does he see himself as a raw food guru. Although he may giggle and play the part, I know he is larger than that in his thinking and the way that he conducts himself is professional and fun expansive and always willing to learn.

I have seen that it is actually the public that deem the likes of David Wolfe a Guru. Why do you think that is?

Power or powerless

To be your own guru I believe one must stand in their own power, for so long have we given power away to other people. I love to see a powerful woman because for so long has a woman’s power been repressed and I now see and am surrounded by powerful women, it feels great to be alive in this day and age its time men that we respect women. After all they did give birth to us! They gave us life. Its 2013 and the time is now for personal power.

We have discussed that not one approach works for all; I also believe that herbs play a major role in dietary success; however that is a blog in itself.

Whatever “Guru” you may be urged to follow at this point I ask you please; Look at your “Guru” is he or she exuberating life force energy? Do they look the way you want to look? Do they act the way you would like to conduct yourself? Are they offering a dogmatic approach to nutrition or are they giving you advice of personal power?

When you pick up a book look at the information present by all means, but the best thing to do is look at the author. You will get a good idea of what results you might achieve if you follow my advice.

Is this judgement? Probably! But we are a visual culture are we not? We grew up with TV & Magazines, IPhones and MacBook’s.

As for judgement not all judgment holds bad karma, we judge on a daily basis. If someone was offering you a Brand new car for free in this capitalist world in which we live, would you not judge their motives? I believe a certain type of judgement is healthy, we cannot be passive and let lies and morals blind us.

We have to be realistic that includes food & nourishment, water and encouragement.

Am I 100% Raw?

The answer could be a simple yes, but I wish to think I am smarter than that, which is why I say the food that I eat when I do eat, is 100% raw. However as mentioned earlier I consume herbs, and a lot of Chinese tonic herbs are not raw, via results of extraction.

He Shou Wu for example can be purchased as a raw herb (root) but to unlock its Yin Jing power! It must be steamed in Black Bean Sauce.

I also consume Hot teas, Well below boiling point, but I do extract with smoking hot water the medicine from the likes of; Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps & cats claw to name a few.

And in all honesty I barely consume any solid food. I live mostly on Medifoods & Tonic Herbs in drink form, blending them together to make a tasty hot chocolate/ coffee like replacement.

What Am I?

I am Graham Theobroma Jevon a Motivational Nutrition Strategist!

What am i? What a powerful question to ask yourself! You are you and will always be you, so please always be you. By all means follow good advice follow the best advice you can grab, but please put your own spin on it! You are unique, you are awesome! You are an epic adventure waiting to be explored by your own self-belief. Take advice and take that only, take action based on what you believe is your own truth. If it sounds good and it feels right and it touches your heart, do that if that is what you want to do!

Am I A Guru? The real question is do you see me that way? Do people on a daily basis see me that way? Yes! Do I ask them to follow me? Yes because I believe that I can change the world and many peoples lives with my approach and advice that I have to offer. I like to empower people to empower themselves and change people’s lives by letting them know it is ok to be them. Just like it is ok to be you!

I give you full power! I give you full responsibility and above all I give you all the tools to tweak anything that you desire. I give you dietary success!

Can you give yourself that?

It’s up to you who are reading whether or not you will tweak the gears.

All Love from here
