Avoid Years of Suffering, Serious Mistakes!

Starting around the early to late 1970's I painfully learned many hard lessons throughout this long lifetime of trials, errors and tribulations while trying to find the most healthy and correct diet. Many mistakes are possible especially if one expects amazing health benefits from simply trying to eat only raw vegetarian food. Because of the complexity of the human body, ability to absorb nutrients, individual needs, stress and pollution, it is no longer as simple as it was once thought to eat only 100% raw and 100% vegetarian. Too many minerals are now missing from depleted soils, and most commercially available food is quite old and very much reduced in life energy by the time it has been packed, shipped to the store, stocked on the shelf for a period of time and then finally bought by the consumer who in turn stores it in the refrigerator!

All dietary studies of the healthiest ancient cultures are in fact mainly vegetarian, and are mostly raw food, however, a great deal of animal products such as shell fish, fish, raw butter and raw milk from pasture grazed cows, goats, etc. have always been present. Please go here to learn more about how certain ancient cultures not only were free of all the common physical and mental complaints and ailments so often suffered by everyone today, but were also completely free of dental caries.

From all that I have learned (unfortunately the hard way when first starting out over thirty years ago) some of the most dangerous and costly mistakes commonly made by anyone trying to eat healthy by going 100% raw vegetarian are:

1) Low or improper intake and absorption of minerals, trace elements and their cofactors, especially calcium, magnesium, B12, K2, A, E, and vitamin D, which should all be at least four times the amount considered to be the minimum daily requirement.

2) Inefficient intake of vitally needed high quality protein, phosphorous and essential oils. (Try to include cooked or raw, grass-fed, free-range, organic eggs, sardines, nutritional yeast, chlorella, spirulina, and pine pollen in one's diet.)

Along with degeneration of the immune system, physical strength, digestion and other physical problems, what also happens when the above two things are ignored is that dental caries and eventually bone loss becomes rampant throughout the rest of one's life. Once the body has been on a course of many years of inadequate intake and/or absorption of vital mineral rich, and protein rich foods, it can take many months of careful nutritional supplementation to change that course before osteoporotic bones become less brittle and rotted teeth start to regenerate. Calcium and all other minerals, trace elements, plus oil soluble vitamins K2, A, E, and vitamin D, etc. are always needed throughout one's entire life. Most diseases are caused by a long term lack of these minerals, vitamins, high quality complete proteins, raw foods and antioxidants.

Raw Food Definitely Has Beneficial Effects, However, It is only Part of the Answer

Way back in the spring of the year 2000, a significant amount of healing (including a certain amount of relief from depression and anxiety) occurred as soon as I committed myself fully to a living and raw whole foods lifestyle. I experienced a massive cleansing and improvement in all areas of my health and life. I avoided all cooked, processed, refined, devitalized, and commercialized "food" products. Fresh fruit, raw vegetables, raw oats, fresh ginger, kelp, avocados, flax seed, spiralina, Chlorella, a wide assortment of healing, healthy herbs and antioxidants satisfied me emotionally and spiritually many times more than any cooked, processed, refined, and very addicting commercialized "food" ever could. The "foods" I see most people eat are scary compared to the superior fulfillments of balanced whole food nutrition. What one eats and does not eat definitely affects one's emotions and consciousness. Go here for more specific information on reducing stress and healing anxiety including diet recipes and supplements. However going 100% raw did not solve all my problems, in fact I seemed to be doing nothing but grinding my food all day and something vital still seemed missing. Like I said above, whole raw food is an essential part of the answer to better health, but is only a part of the answer. One also needs to understand adaptogenic herbs, green super food powders, antioxidants, why taking all minerals and trace elements is essential, and drink alkalized water instead of snacking. Please go here for latest info.

Use a Vitamix Blender to Process Your Food

USE A VITA-MIXER - To get more nourishment out of your raw food diet, you may find the use of a Vita-Mixer to be a tremendous advantage. Obtaining and using a blender could be slightly less effective, but also less expensive. One needs a way to grind large amounts of oats into an edible flower, and small amounts of nuts and seed into a nut meal or spread, or to create vegetable/fruit juices that include all the fiber, phytochemicals and other flavonoid constituents essential to health and well-being. Juicers that separate the juice from the fiber are OK, but I prefer and benefit much more from the extra natural fiber, ease and convenience that comes from using a Vita-Mixer in which no part of the whole food is wasted.

Various Helpful Ideas and Inexpensive Healthy Foods to Learn About

THE RAW FOOD DIET - Please use only organically grown raw food and herbs. Not only are you helping to protect your own health from artificial toxins, you are also helping to support organic, earth-friendly, sustainable agriculture that does not wear down soil. Organically grown raw food should always be available in any large health food store. The chemical fertilizers, GMO's and excessive use of herbicides and pesticides used in monoculture commercial farming has a disastrous, eroding effect on soil, birds, bees and other pollinating insects, and all other ecological systems and the environment.

RAW BUTTER especially whole, raw 100% pasture grazed butter is one of the most ancient and spiritually essential foods on the planet. It seems that all of the great yogis who have ever lived had some form of butter or ghee made from either fresh, whole goat or cow milk from animals raised on green grass all year-round. The great master of yoga, Sri Yukteswar Giri often ate and served rice, lentils, turmeric and melted butter. 100% pasture grazed raw whole butter is high in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Learn about the weight control benefits of CLA here. It also contains a vital "Factor or Activator X" (vitamin K2) which is essential for proper mineral metabolism essential for healthy teeth and bones. Go to following article to learn more: Healing Dental Caries with Butter Oil and Cod Liver Oil

There is a huge variety of raw food to choose from. For some ideas, you might try raw ground sesame seed, freshly ground raw flax seed, soaked raw pumpkin and raw sunflower seed, soaked raw peanuts, spiralina, chlorella, bee pollen, finely ground raw whole oats, fresh ginger root, pineapple, coconut, blueberries, blackberries, oranges, avocados, parsley, fennel, lettuce, spinach, beets, carrots, red onions (high in quercetin), bell peppers and jalape–o peppers (use with care - HOT!) in your "wholeness" diet. Raw nuts and seed are most easily digested if blended with some ionized water and juice from raw pineapple, oranges, and some ginger root.

NATTO is another health food I would like to introduce here. It is a form of fermented soy beans that might be a good substitute for cheese and is the highest source ever for the little known but essential vitamin K2. There is a good book on Amazon.com all about the vital subject of vitamin K2 and calcium metabolism: Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life

BENEFITS OF ALKALINE WATER - I enjoy great benefits from going on daily fasts with loads of the BEST TASTING water ever--negatively ionized, alkaline water. I also add to all my Vita-mixed juices. This water is so alkaline and full of very cleansing antioxidant "energy", I seem to only need one meal a day, and can fast for the rest of the day. For more information go to next page.

All foods for wholeness, especially flax and other types of seed, nuts, ginger, jalape–o peppers, and all other spices contain important healing substances that cannot or should not be isolated or concentrated into one or two compounds such as oils, sugars, drugs, etc. The closer to nature's original condition and form, the greater the benefit and safety. Whole, raw, natural food is always far superior to any of its more potentially hazardous separate components. The whole food usually tends to be of far greater benefit than the sum of its separate parts.

For your protection against rancidity and spoilage, store all dry ground herbs, bee pollen, nuts and seed etc. in the freezer. However, bee pollen can just be refrigerated while being used. I avoid all vegetable oils, especially purified, processed, bleached, and hydrogenated vegetable oils (trans-fatty acids). Vegetable oil is not a whole food, but only the expulsion of what was originally a whole food. However, the refrigerated, raw, cold-pressed, golden oil from flaxseed and virgin , cold-pressed green olive oil can still be very healthy, so I still use flax oil and olive oil. The least expensive source for essential fatty acids, lignins and fiber is freshly ground, whole flax seed.

Most nuts and seed tend to be high in harmful lectins and other toxins and anti-nutrients. Peanuts ae the WORST of all--best to avoid them entirely. However almonds tend to have the fewest lectins. It is best to soak nuts and seed in water for 2-3 days before consuming them. Rinse thoroughly and replace water twice daily. Soaking nuts and seed helps to deactivate enzyme inhibitors and reduce the lectins naturally present in dry nuts and seed, while activating plant growth hormones and many vital enzymes involved in the initiation of a plant's life. However, one should still eat them in moderation or no more than 1/2 cup a day (amount before soaking).

EGGS, in my opinion, are a whole food containing vital biological components for hormones, cell renewal, and overall healing and well-being. Use fertile or "range free" FRESH eggs from the refrigerated section of your health food store. CHECK ODOR BEFORE USING THEM! Dispose of any single egg smells even slightly off. I am well aware of the dangers of eating RAW EGGS and certain other raw foods. I would OBJECT to eating raw meat, fish, shellfish, etc. anyway, but have benefited from eating raw eggs. Certain spiritual paths forbid the eating of eggs, and especially red meat because their influence is not as positive as that from pure plant nutrition. It may be because animal products tend to contain medicines, hormones and more pollutants.

HERBS AND VITAMINS - My favorite and most frequently used antioxidant vitamin and herbal supplements are: CQ10, Grape seed Extract, B-complex, Dry (oil free) Vitamin E, Ester C, Minerals, Microhydrin (from Royal Body Care), Chlorella, Korean Ginseng, Kotu Kola, Ginkgo, Kava Kava, Saw Palmetto Berries, Schisandra Fruit, Cayenne Pepper, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Garlic, etc. I also would make my own and use colloidal silver if I feel a cold or any other sort of infection coming on (which is almost never). There are also raw food products available that contain various amounts of multiple herbs, probiotics, etc. in one convenient, inexpensive protein formula such as: Garden of Life's Perfect Food for example.

Acai Berry Scams You Want To Avoid

Are you sick of hearing or reading about scams involving the acai berry? It makes it tough to get excited about taking this amazing health supplement when you realize people are getting scammed over it all the time. It's hard to know who the legitimate dealers are out there and who is just trying to take your money.

Many health professionals agree that the acai berry is an excellent healthy supplement and a great antioxidant; this is what makes it so hard to swallow all of the people out there that are selling the acai berry just for a lot of profit and don't have your best interests at heart.

The acai berry began as a great supplement for people--one that is excellent for your stamina, energy, fitness level and overall health. It's turned into a sham because of a few underhanded sellers out there.

The Big Deception - There has been a lot on the web about celebrities endorsing the acai berry when, in fact, many of these celebrities have just discussed the product on their shows and didn't actually go out and say that the product was the "best superfood" out there. Many of these celebrities have stated that the acai berry has improved their health but haven't agreed to become spokespeople for the product. You need to know the difference between an endorsement and a frank discussion of the product. Nevertheless, because celebrities tend to sell products, their names and faces get plastered all over advertisements, even when they haven't officially endorsed the product.

Pay no Attention to Outrageous Ads - If the ad says that the acai berry (or any other product) cures cancer, it is flat out wrong. If it says you will grow taller overnight or do something else impossible, you want to avoid buying that product. Instead, go for reasonable ads that make reasonable claims, regardless of what the product is. This is especially true for acai berry products because, while it does amazing things, it doesn't do outrageous things and you have to know that before buying it.

Always Avoid High Pressure Sales Tactics - Does the website use high pressure sales tactics to sell its product? If so, you need to realize that they are trying too hard. The acai berry extract can naturally sell itself without high pressure sales tactics. Know what the Acai berry really does and what it doesn't do before going out and purchasing the product. Buy a product that informs you of the acai berry extract, educates you on what it does and allows the product to basically sell itself--without high pressure tactics.

Ani's Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipes by Ani Phyo - Editorial Reviews - From Booklist - A cookbook dedicated to raw food appears oxymoronic to the uninitiated, but people who aim to pursue a raw vegan diet soon realize that eating uncooked foods involves more than simply chomping into whatever sits on grocers' produce shelves. Phyo shows how to create more complex flavor harmonies. Nutmeats of all sorts serve as a basis of many recipes, offering a spectrum of uses from cheese substitutions to pie crusts. Dates stand in for the sweetness less healthfully derived from refined sugar. Raw zucchini strips mimic fettuccini. A close reading of the nutritional analysis for each recipe reveals the high levels of dietary fiber this diet introduces. Although most of Phyo's ingredients are readily available, she does occasionally call for unfamiliar items such as liquid aminos, a replacement for soy sauce. Phyo also provides recipes for raw vegan dog food. Illustrations consist mainly of photographs of the author. --Knoblauch, Mark

Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow by Matthew Kenney, Sarma Melngailis, and Jen Karetnick - Product Description - Top New York chef and restaurateur Matthew Kenney and his partner, Sarma Melngailis, had been thinking of opening a Moroccan restaurant. But one night they were invited to a raw food restaurant -- and it changed their lives. They instead opened Pure Food and Wine, a restaurant devoted to creative, tasty raw food, and it has been drawing rave reviews. Dishes such as Zucchini and Green Zebra Tomato Lasagne, Golden Squash Pasta with Black Summer Truffles, and Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart with Vanilla Cream have given raw food a sexy new appeal.

The decision to go raw was shocking at first for these two ex-carnivorous chefs, but they soon found that preparing and eating raw food made them and their guests feel their physical best. Melngailis noticed a difference almost immediately -- "Light, clean, natural, and alive foods make you feel light, clean, and more alive. And sexy." This new way of life has changed their outlook on eating and cooking and connects them to the world around them. As Kenney says, "Raw foods and the lifestyle associated with it are so compelling and complex that we will be forever learning and growing. Already it seems that we have discovered some of the magic that life offers."

In this lushly photographed book, Kenney and Melngailis share some of that magic -- and show that preparing and eating raw does not mean bland, unsatisfying, or impossibly time-consuming meals. Using dehydrating, Vita-Mix blending, a nuanced understanding of spices, and unprecedented creativity, they explore a whole new outlook on raw food that transfers beautifully and easily from their kitchen to yours -- no matter what your present diet. And you'll immediately begin to reap the benefits of healthful, delicious, life-giving raw food.

Based on logical principles, the raw vegan diet still often falls short of expectation. Instead of improvements in their health, many people see deterioration. Others experience less rejuvenation than they anticipated, or find themselves unable to maintain balance in the long-term.

The 31, succinct chapters give unique insights on many topics affecting those considering a high-raw or all-raw diet. Each holds dozens of tips to help you eat a pure, simple, nourishing diet. If you are tired of the same, boring, repetitive information found in nearly every other book on the raw vegan diet, then you're in for a surprise! If you seek groundbreaking research and a fresh perspective on raw eating, you will find them in The Raw Secrets. Here are some topics covered: * The deadly errors of the raw food diet and how to avoid them * The most overlooked and important causes for lack of energy * Why certain foods are poisons and drugs and how to find out which ones to are * An absolutely effective and low-cost way to give up bad habits * All about a healthy diet that doesn't require you to buy special supplements * Sure signs that the diet you're on is not working for you (even if it's raw) * The easiest and best way to transition to a raw food diet

Living Cuisine: The Art and Spirit of Raw Foods (Avery Health Guides) by Renee Loux Underkoffler and Woody Harrelson - Editorial Reviews - From Publishers Weekly - This extensive volume provides a compendium of information on the chic raw foods movement. Underkoffler, a Maui-based restaurateur and workshop facilitator, devotes several hundred pages to descriptions of fruits, vegetables and the other essentials of a raw foods diet; the economic and social effects of eating raw foods; and the health benefits of adhering to such a diet. Many of the volume's recipes make the prospect of eating all raw foods quite appetizing. Indonesian vegetable Pad Thai in Coconut Sauce, Golden Butternut Soup with Provenal Pesto, Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms and Crumble Apple Strudel Bundt Cake are all dishes that even non-raw converts might savor. And the author offers little tips to help soften the strict rules of eating raw. For example, she explains, "A wonderful secret of raw foods preparation is to serve soup in a warmed bowl. It allows the flavors to bloom a little bit more and keeps the soup warm without having to heat the soup to unhealthful temperatures upon serving." For readers who don't mind lukewarm bisque, or the significant effort that goes into preparing it, this book offers nice variety and valuable information.

Product Description - WARNING: The raw food recipes in this book are so delicious they may change your life!

Raw: The Uncook Book: New Vegetarian Food for Life by Juliano Brotman and Erika Lenkert - Editorial Reviews - Amazon.com Review - "Gourmet raw cuisine"--if that sounds like an oxymoron, you'll be amazed by the creativity of the recipes in this book. Every food is "live" (uncooked) in these vegetarian recipes from Juliano, the raw-food guru of Los Angeles. Juliano believes that fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, beans, and seeds in their rawest and purest form are the most nourishing foods. If your imagination stops at alfalfa sprouts and grated carrots, hold onto your cutting board. Juliano's recipes include Butternut Squash Soup, New Moon Fruit Stew, Thai Green Papaya Salad, Living Buckwheat Pizza Crust, Mango Essene Bread, Mock Salmon Sushi, Raw Spring Rolls, seven varieties of burritos, nine varieties of pizza, and nine unusual smoothies. Desserts? Try EZ Pudding (made with maple syrup, avocados, and carob powder) or Cashew Gelato (cashew butter, maple syrup, and almonds, served frozen). There are also condiments, dressings, and sauces, and plenty of information about preparing raw foods, including how to soak and sprout beans, grains, seeds, and nuts.

It may seem like cheating, but a food dehydrator is permitted to "bake" pizza, cookies, and breads. It blows hot air, but never heats foods hotter than 120¡F, which, claims Juliano, "allows all the delicate nutrients that are usually burned out of cooked foods to remain intact." Raw is filled with gorgeous color photos of the foods in all their vibrant colors and a number of photos of the vibrant Juliano (not in the raw). "Before you know it," says Juliano, "you'll be Raw and loving it." --Joan Price

Review - "When you eat raw foods you feel great. I just wanted to share that." - Juliano

"Food fads come and go, Pan Asian, Haute Southern, Pacific Rim fusion, but the latest dining trends is actually the oldest: eating food raw." -- USA Today

"Juliano is the toast of Hollywood, somewhere between a chef and a guru. The food is spectacular, lush, colorful and tactile, he's more than a chef, he's an inspiration." -- Spin

This is not a boring book about bland salads and munching on carrot sticks for breakfast lunch and dinner ÑThe Raw Food Primer is filled with fifty delicious, easy-to-follow recipes that are sure to make your tummy growl.

Those who try these succulent recipes will enjoy deep comfort, great nutrition, and fresh paths to glowing health.

For many, raw food is already a way of life. But when we try to explain it to friends, family or students who don't yet know the pleasures and the benefits of eating "raw", they may say, "You can't keep up your energy with raw carrots" or "Yuck! That sounds really boring" or "I can't give up my pasta!" To answer such remarks, Chef Alex has written The Raw Food Primer. She gently introduces "first timers" to the concept of raw foods and a vegetarian diet. Encouraging them to add raw food slowly to their diet, she avoids a zealous approach that may frighten off people curious about "uncooking" but not quite ready to give raw cuisine a full embrace. With her charming, low-pressure style, Ferrara eases the reader into true eagerness to try tasty raw dishes and reap the health benefits like more energy. Many people who have gone raw report that they have a leaner structure, clearer skin and eyes, and they no longer experience problems with allergies or fatigue.

"Seven Steps to Wholeness"

Enjoy Absolutely Amazing Bliss and Joy! Learn Sexual Transmutation! Enjoy Unlimited Energy! Rejuvenate Your Cells!

Nothing like this manual has ever been written before. Learn all about a unique spiritual diet and a way of mineral water fasting for pranic nourishment and transmutation that can really boost your spiritual awareness into realms of awesome bliss and love!

WHY NOT LIVE AN ENTIRE LIFESTYLE OF BLISSFUL TRANSMUTATION AND WHOLENESS?

I discovered a perfected, life-changing, utterly unique, Palaeolithic diet regimen and lifestyle that goes way beyond conventional practice. If it is carefully understood and followed, this wholesome lifestyle can help you enjoy unprecedented levels of health, healing and well-being at every moment. I stumbled across a diet and way of life so pure and so effective at physical, mental and spiritual rejuvenation, it gives me tremendous bliss and tremendous satisfaction in every aspect of my life. The words of this sacred book will guide you up toward ecstatic levels of health and well-being far beyond conventional diet wisdom that not even a single physician, dietitian, or spiritual guru even knows about, or at least not yet.

There is so much to learn however. I will describe all the phases, stages and difficulties to avoid while attempting to reach such high levels of perfected eating for the lasting enjoyment of wholeness that you would never, ever want to return to the conventional ways of eating again. One must first learn, understand and overcome many of the hazardous food and drug addictions plaguing our society and gradually replace all one's deleterious habits and toxic food substances with only wholesome complete proteins, organic fruits, fats, fibers, vegetables and super-foods mostly free of cell-damaging gluten, lectins and other miscreant substances. Organic, raw fruits, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, herbs, fungi, pollens, and vegetables are indeed the greatest healers of all time. Why not base a diet entirely on them?

It should be obvious that nature only intended humans to eat 100% whole, unprocessed food. But our usual western way of life has gone the opposite direction. Most commercially available food contain inflammatory, unhealthy and toxic substances such a far too much sugar, carbs, GMO's, deadly vegetable oils, casein, and gluten, resulting in the eventual development of all manner of chronic degenerative diseases such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, diabetes, arthritis, heart failure and cancer. Multiple diseases of all kinds and years of incredible suffering can be avoided by avoiding junk food, snacks, carbs and sugars while consuming fewer, but much more nutritionally complete, organic, high fat and high fiber meals.

One may think that after eliminating all manner of unhealthy milk products and high carbohydrate foods such as most of the desserts, dairy, whole grain and potato products out there, there would be none or far too few foods left to choose from. This assumption is far from true as there are countless varieties of super-foods, herbs, fruits and vegetables to choose from, some of which contain complete protein and are fully nourishing for the body, especially if you include organic, pasture-raised eggs, algae, and edible fungi along with the vast variety of organic fruits, herbs and vegetables now being grown throughout the world. Learn which vegetables can be used to directly replace all toxic high-gluten whole grains and enjoy the amazing health benefits of living on a fully satisfying, ketogenic, whole foods diet that includes wide variety of tantalizing and delicious superfoods such as spirulina, chlorella, raw cacao (chocolate), bee pollen, pine pollen, avocado, sardines, salmon, pasture-raised eggs, and whole raw ground oat bran, nuts and seed.

Just as vital as making sure only the correct food goes into your mouth, you also need to stop snacking on carbs and instead get into the extremely healthy habit of drinking loads of often mineralized and/or alkalized or distilled water throughout the whole day between full, whole, nutritionally complete meals that are so utterly complete and fulfilling, you desire to eat far less often, resulting in much greater health, healing, and connection with Spirit. It is possible to go on as long as one, full, complete meal every other day for months at a time, saving you massive amounts of time in the kitchen while reducing your grocery and food supplement bills by half! A very select few yogis and mystics can ever seem to go full breatharian, yet one can at least go part of the way using the intermittent fasting lifestyle I am carefully describing in this book step-by-step.

Once you have mastered your intermittent fasting diet, one also needs to understand why it's so vital to master ones sexual energy! Learn how to stop losing VITAL sexual fluids and transmute it using at least seven controversial tools of transmutation to help master your relationship with vital, subtle energy. Learn how to use that energy, correct eating, plenty of mineral water and herbs to blissfully transmute the sexual energy into wholeness, which would uplift you into an even higher state of fulfillment and well-being far more valuable than anything you ever experienced before.

You will learn how this diet and lifestyle of wholeness can lead you toward living more and more on the prana from nature rather than calories from solid foods. You will find that you will feel gradually less hungry and more blissfully energetic, opening up new avenues of inner experience through ecstatic dreams and deep meditation into the realms of samadhi, astral travel and the afterlife. Because the mind is also prone to worry and destructive thoughts, feelings, etc., this book will discus why it is so vital that only the most constructive and helpful thoughts of prosperity and goodness to enter your sacred heart, mind and spirit. You will find out that there is actually a wonderful life after death and that God (unconditional love and everlasting joy) can be realized and discovered as your true nature within your self through deep meditation and samadhi.

The vital "Seven Steps to Wholeness" include: Step 1 - Find the Right Foods and Eliminate All the Junk; Step 2 - Start Fasting on Alkalized Mineral Water Between Meals; Step 3 - Learn the Importance of Full-Spectrum Supplements; Step 4 - Become Aware of Vital Pranic Energy Nourishment; Step 5 - Conserve and Transmute Your Sexual Desires into Bliss; Step 6 - Align with Your True Nature and Know You Are Eternal; Step 7 - Meditation, Samadhi, Astral and Cosmic Consciousness
