Am back to drinking fruit juice this morning after a ten day water fast and feel much more energised & motivated now to sit down at this keyboard and document what's been going on for us. I did a pretty good job at ignoring this computer throughout the fast and much as one would expect, this led to a bunch of other interesting things...
Winter melon marmalade (with orange & bergamot)
I am a huge fan of thick cut orange marmalade and happened by chance to recently taste a locally produced winter melon marmalade which from my perspective tasted almost exactly the same as the marmalade of my childhood dreams! Also 'by chance' two seasons ago I found a huge winter melon growing on the outskirts of our garden and didn't know what to do with it till now.
Turns out that two years is too long and this melon was dry but the seeds were abundant and healthy.
This is what they are supposed to look like.
It took ages to remove all the pips as this fruit is much thicker than a regular melon.
With the oranges I squeezed out the juice first and then cut the rest up into chunks.
50/50 melon/orange mix.
After that you just add a bunch of sugar, put it on the stove and keep stirring for around 2-3 hours.
Here she is ready to serve up into my pots which have been sterilised with boiling water.
After filling the pots they go into a hot water bath for ten mins, before cooling on the side. Each lid makes a satisfying popping noise over the next few hours, letting me know it is good to go for long term storage.
In the end I did two versions of this marmalade because I was a bit suspicious of the bergamot (didn't know this fruit till now!)
So, this one is just winter melon/orange.
A beautiful colour don't you think?
The following day I made six pots of the bermagot/melon mix, which apparently also tasted great in the end. And there was no need to be suspicious!
During this same day I also separated all the red olives which were ready (after sitting in salt water for three months) and added some thyme & garlic to the top and bottom of the pots.
At this stage I add a hot brine and seal them off for two weeks to catch the flavours. The green olives are still hard and will need longer in the salt water.
The jams & marmalades all get labels before they go in the cupboard because we now have well over 100 pots with so many different variaties, all of them made in this house over the last two years. And things can quickly get confusing without labels!
Orgonite experiments
Orgonite is a substance made of resin, metals and quartz. Its function is to balance and harmonise bio-energy, otherwise known as orgone, chi or prana.
Sabrina learned about the healing & protective effects of orgonite recently and felt moved to buy four pyramids from a local producer, placing them around our home.
They are quite beautiful though probably rather different to the ones originally created by Wilhelm Reich in the early part of the last century.
I had heard it was possible to see the effects of orgonite in frozen water, so we set up a basic experiment in which two glasses of pure water went in the freezer overnight, with orgonite placed over the top of one. The pyramids are said to move energy through them, creating a vortex above & below, so we were excited to see evidence of this.
The orgonite was placed above the glass on the right and the effect is clear.
While they are both quite amazing to look at, the one on the right is more like an explosion of air bubbles, pushing their way out from the middle. So I think we can confirm with certainty there is something remarkable going on here. And our orgonite is working!
Perhaps it was the presence of orgonite in our home which led me to do the ten day fast? Certainly I feel a ton better for having done it and there have been a number of changes applied to my life as a consequence.
Real cat food
The trouble with the cat food industry is that it's rubbish. And 99% of what's on offer is bad for your cats, making them sick over time. Long have I understood that much like humans cats need their vegetables but struggled to find the right mix which was enjoyable for them. My cats are stubborn and they would rather go hungry than eat something they don't like the smell of.
So I am super grateful for @opidia and her guidance in this matter because finally I have found the right mix!
Lentils, tuna & raw carrot.
Mush together...
And feed to a grateful cat :)
In a month our pea season will begin so I will be sure to squish a few peas in there too and perhaps swap out the tuna with chicken from time to time.
It we are going to be honest with ourselves however, cats don't actually need feeding at all and would survive perfectly well without us. Every day I find dead birds, mice & rats in our courtyard, compliments of baby cat who would no doubt eat them if he were actually hungry ;)
Here are two I removed yesterday.
Regardless, I am very happy to finally know how to feed my cats in a healthy way. Am pretty sure Fifi is pregnant again, so I want to make sure she is getting the right nutrients. Yeah, it's that time of year and all the male cats have been lining up outside our house.
She likes to sit here in her sunset cage and survey the suitors from above.
On this occasion a witches cat sat below. In fact, I know this guy. His name is Simba.
Sun going down, time to go. I left them to it.
All in all this fast has been a magical experience with a surprising amount achieved, though it was very cold for me at times in our poorly heated home. So in future I will stick to the Summertime for such things.
Sabrina made a mushroom soup the other day which filled every room with the most wonderful mouth watering aromas and I have been dreaming about it since then. So tomorrow I will sit down with a hot steaming bowl and enjoy it in a way that only a person who hasn't eaten for ten days can understand.
Intensely focused, very slowly and with a huge amount of pleasure & gratitude :)
Love & Light everyone πΏ
gosh, what a wonderful post! so much to see enjoy there.. first, congrats on the 10 days water fast.. that is a long time to do it.. i assume you mean you drank only water .. wow, what a challenge..
really love that organite too.. ive got a traditional one.. and never saw any experiments with it before.. not even really sure what i should do with it so it sits on my meditation table in front of my candle.. maybe i should put my drinking water under it!!!
keep up the great everything! <3
Hey Alex! Always good to see you here. Are you still in India?
It was a dry fast for the first three days, then on to water and herbal teas for the remainder. Ever since I started sungazing, the subject of how much humans actually need physical food has fascinated me. It is unfortunate I live on the north facing side of a mountain so I can't get my fill of sunrises & sunsets from here to put HRM's sun-eating claims to the test. One day I will...
Is it organite or ogonite? Am confused now. I assumed orgone energy = orgonite. Figured you would have one. And yes, I would say it will only do wondrous things to drinking water. Was thinking about strapping one to the base of my seat to see if it makes any difference to the way I feel when I'm at my desk. I heard some people keep theirs in the fridge, making their food stay fresh for longer. It also helps plants grow I believe! Magical stuff :)
yes yes, still in India.. lapping up the heat and making crazy amounts of hummus and other foods.. i started selling it in a local shop .. gives me something to do.. especially now i stopped smoking i need some major distraction!
yeah probably its ogonite.. maybe theres more than one way of saying it.. what you showed is the same as mine.. except yours have a lovely tree in it!..
if i could move mountains, i would shift yours 90 degrees! sounds like it would solve a lot of issues for you :) <3
Yes please! A 90 degree mountain shift would be perfect :)
No chicken , it is actually bad for us and the cats because it becomes a sort of glue
And hard to digest , also they have strong acidity ( 10 times more ) so it would cause imbalance in their guts .
I thought you were tagging me for the water fast π
Dont eat too much of that Jam π
Am deeply grateful for your presence in this village and for all the advice you offer. Fasting advice included. Certainly it is true to say that I felt much better about going ten days knowing you were just down the road. The cat food revelation felt more significant in this moment because the question has been unanswered for many years as they don't seem to like tuna on its own! Who knew the answer was so simple.
Okay, so no chicken. I wonder what else I can use instead of tuna? Just to give them some variation.
cooked eggs is a variation or raw eggs but very fresh π
Much love Sam π
Wow, bookmarked! You've inspired me to pursue a more healthier life and maintain some semblance of fasting.
I only meat 1.5 meals a day and am full vegetarian, but i'd like to try a 3 day juice fast. That would be nice.
Bless up!
Full vegetarian, 1.5 meals a day sounds like you are doing a great job already. You will find @sebcam to be a great inspiration when it comes to diet & fasting related issues. He's an old friend from London who recently ran across USA with his hammock, fuelled by fruit. Usually eating one meal a day. He has your Odysee link and has been watching your films I believe. Like you he's very interested in common law & related subjects.
Ah!
Thanks for the heads up brother!
Wow, lots been going on! I could really do with some fasting of
suicidalsocial media (my autocorrect knows the deal! π ). Can't see it happening any time soon, though.As an additional thought, I'm curious to see a repeat of the organite and ice experiment. Knowing that freezing items often has different outcomes for the same substance, I would be eager to try three glasses, with the organite on just the one to see if the results repeat and if the are differences in the other two when compared with each other.
@tipu curate
haha! Damn these mind-reading autocorrect bots! Yeah, a little bit of computer box fasting from time to time will enrich ones experience of both worlds.
Good call with an additional experiment for the organite. I didn't mention but we actually did the same test twice and got the same results. But I also considered removing all the organite from the house before freezing another glass because I feel sure the effects go beyond a few cms.
For now our freezer is too full to fit even one glass! One of our giant pumpkins was going soft so the remains are currently taking up all the space ;)
A few soups later it will be time...
So many experiments, so little room! π

You inspire me to try fasting, I do worry though how it would go being a solo parent, I have always thought to wait till they were away. Perhaps I should just do 2 or 3 days first.
I am always so impressed with how much preservation you have done, a real inspiration Sam. Much love my friend xxxxx
Depends how understanding/helpful your children are. Luna found it hard to understand why I couldn't bounce her round the house like normal! Sometimes I had energy to do stuff, but not all the time. Often I just had to be still and silent. And breathe. So yes, give it a try for sure but certainly easier with understanding people around you. Or totally alone. Just so you know, I was also drinking herbal teas (no milk, no sweeteners, no lemon). So, it doesn't have to be exclusively water. @opidia has been teaching me the ways :)
And yes, I think I love preserving food above all other things at the moment! Can't get enough of it ;) xxx
