And Please Join My Veganize Pod!
Veganize Grown by OceanAt the brilliant suggestion of a fellow - and very spiritual - Zaadster, I am posting my Love Letter to the Universe in honor of Valentine's Day!
My Passion for Compassion leads me to want to find the best ways to Compassionize all people, to Veganize everyone, and to open their hearts to the reality that We Are All One, including "the very least of them", the helpless, innocent fellow animals in our world.
I want to promote these goals and to find assistance for all of them now!
I have several connections right now that will expedite things for me - (naturally, a billion dollars is in the mix too! with it i would create eco, compassionate enterprises like vegan fast-food chains and in frozen food sections and catering, eco compassionate vegan clothing lines, and create wilderness habitats for wildlife and trees, among many other enterprises, like the eco, green communities i'm planning, other ways to promote veganism, etc.)
On the road to the billions-
1. I want to find ways to connect to all compassionate vegans in the world and all the child-free in the world (i wish to popularize being child-free and/or adopting the needy, starving children instead of having them - in the West, one child causes the pollution of a thousand in developing nations...i want all children to prosper, be cared for, etc.(Iam against abortion, by the way - I am pro birth control of other means)
( I want to have a giant pool of committed, active, compassionate vegans and child-free to encourage them to contribute their talents and resources to save the world! - getting a master list of vegans worldwide is one of the reasons I'm on the internet in general right now personally, rather than just on the Record Company's maintained official site - I have my own pages there and send them updates to do for me.)
2. I want to find the means to produce the many projects i have started - all of which help the world since i myself contribute time, energy, talent, projects and money to save the world and they all have percentages to help, charity is part of my nature - preferably angel investors who are like-minded, like vegans, committed to saving the world.
3. I wish to find vegan musicians who are interested in helping me to assemble my Concerts for Animals - musicians who care - soloists, groups, all types as long as they're into compassion for all beings! I also have songs to honor various animal groups and am about to record a CD of those songs, and I want to find those who have beautiful stock film of animals for that project. I plan to make my animal songs and videos available for free usage on TV and elsewhere to inspire people to help animals.
I also have other artists and friends who devote their lives to helping and I would like to help them connect to sources of assistance.
4. I am working with an architect/developer on eco, green housing ideas. I'm interested in building a working community of this type and any assistance would be great! I plan to work with and around trees and vegetation and encourage all of the industry to utilize the existing topography and terrain in designing their building, rather than doing what they do now - which is to destroy - I also aim to use the trees they fell now in terrible waste somehow. I have plans to transport and use them for building low-income housing. Now they just sit and rot or are hauled to landfills. I adore trees and if they are not allowed to stand, I want new trees planted immediately and I want the ones felled to be utilized.
5. Currently in America at least, restaurant food that is not sold is thrown out. It needs to be collected and distributed instead to those who need it. I also want to mobilize more assistance and awareness of the homeless.
6. I have plans for vegan, truly healthy, holistic hospitals especially for alternative care for ill children and the aged. I want any help with this idea. Now the ones in existence are only for the rich. I feel that there are enough people who would contribute to this idea and would happily donate to help this come about. It would also be a model for all hospitals and care units. (bearing in mind that something like sixty percent of people diagnosed with cancer get well automatically without any treatment and only twenty percent get well with conventional medical treatment.) ( Learning how to heal people and other animals is a passion along with my passion for Compassion!)
7. I have books, (some on Saving the World and Veganism), coming out as well as music, films I'm producing and other projects. I would appreciate any and all assistance in my projects, including information and expert advice. I am signed to a small label and publishing company, and I am happy with that, but it would be great to get additional distribution and promo !
8. I am interested in popularizing getting rid of the last isms - speciesism and ageism! Both will assist the world in adopting Compassion for all beings and in truly recognizing that we are all One!
I am interested in finding info, resources, people, ideas and help on all these projects now!

OceanFood and Overfeeding
I think food as entertainment and addiction is an idea we could discuss.
So many things feed us - that 's another theme - I mean, feed our souls, our brains.
The very words food, feed, consume...
There are so many other ways to feed our beings -
So many people eat so little every day - a handful of cherries, a few pieces of fruit - it doesn't take much at al to feed us.
We overfeed. That is the problem
Did you know that the Sherpas who take people and their heavy gear up the Himalayas reject Western food offered to them, eating only a handful of rice every day they are hauling loads up the mountains?
Why? Because that is enough.
Because any excess would tax their systems so much that they would not be able to do their strenuous work.
Food has become, for too many people, the addictive answer to other needs that could better be met in spiritual, intelletual, and especially, in active ways.
Brain-soaked media-blitzed people have been conned into consuming much too much of everything - especially of food, and most of it very bad food.
Try diong just one dinner like this - a fruit plate.
You'll feel magnificent!
The Diamonds who have written outstanding nutrition books eat only fruit for breakfast.
I think it's marvelous for dinner.
Others do a fruit day every week, and some do one kind of fruit, like grapes, which are very healing and cleansing, or mangoes, for instance.
We only need a very small amount of food, and most of our energy goes into digesting, leaving us strained, tired, and laid out like one of those big snakes, engogred and with the body so taxed in digestion that nothing else is possible!
Eat less, live long, live vibrantly, look young, and get tons of things done!

Hi Ocean,
Just accepted your invitation, thank you.
Yes there is Integral Veg*n pod here.
~ Samme
I just became vegetarian recently, a little dairy here and there but am pretty much headed in that direction. (also starting to volunteer at the local Humane Society) I've come to see the benefit for the heart as kind of a chicken and the egg situation, obviously you have better heart health as a result but you also become vegan out of an open heart in the first place..
Ocean,
I’m not a vegan, but I can understand why vegans exist. Recently, my parents cooked turkey burgers and MAN, the living room smelled of Death!! Just the smell is horrible uhgh! Even though I eat chicken from time to time, beef products have been cut out from my diet.
To Nobody, two posts up -
great for volunteering at the Humane Society! that's awesome!
And for being compassionate in your food choices.
Would you also read this :
Got Milk ?
I love this quote from you “obviously you have better heart health as a result but you also become vegan out of an open heart in the first place..”
and a comment on Jon Dox's two up, - i've read that we should never put anything that is brown into our bodies.
after all - isn't that the color of waste? of decay? of rotting? of death?
colorful foods are meant for primates - oranges, bright reds, vibrant yellows, apple greens - the colors of life!
And in case someone doesn't know yet - humans are primates!
We're in the Great Ape family of the animal kingdom, and as such, we're blessed to be originally the children of the trees.
I hope our original love of trees returns and we will all do our part to plant trees - tell developers in your area you won't buy homes where they've razed the property of trees - tell realtors and landscapers and zoning committees that we all love trees!
And plant several everywhere you go - we have tons of baby trees in our yard, and we take them out with us and plant them in appropriate areas where they'll have enough resources to thrive.
And think of where we get our main foods - fruits and nuts - from trees, of course, our original homes.
Also, see Love Trees.
