The Joy of Living and How to Attain it--Dr. Bernard Jensen
The Joy of Living and How to Attain it--Dr. Bernard Jensen inspired this Plant Your Dream Blog that introduces some of the core ideas in my book Grow A Healthier Pizza. I am attempting to put on my Game Face for the Natural Product Expo West. March 7 is my travel day.

"The Joy of Living begins with this very auspicious quote that has relevance to the work I want to do this year:
"Until man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so called
scientific knowledge."-- Thomas A Edison
When Edison wrote this, he likely never imagined that Scientists would have the hubris to attempt to duplicate a blade of grass. They now have a plan to create Genetically Engineeered grass. I do not feel this is good. Man cannot duplicate a blade of grass as Nature intended grass to grow. Grass represents something very deep.

I have strayed far from Nature's Way
February 25, 2013
I am looking over one of Dr. Bernard Jensen's first books this morning, "The Joy of Living and How to Attain it.: My spirit is weakened by two months of Winter and feeling cold and cold symptoms as many of us. It is taking a lot of motivation to get out of bed.
I would like to put on my Game Face and get ready for the Natural Product Expo West in Anaheim.
My confidence is low. My ambition is weak. I am having to face facts. The book talks about using foods as stimulants. It talks about following Nature. It talks about having disciples to do the right thing. I have allowed myself to become disheartened. I am not the kind of person who rests well. I am driven. I have been asking a lot of my body for many years. I am now 65. I am not sure how to be 65. I still have my ideas and inspirations--too many of them, but I do not feel the juice now to pull off as many ideas as I would like. Something has to shift. I am facing limits and I do not like it.
The question I need to be asking is: What is Nature wanting to teach me now? What have I forgotten? What do I need to do now to correct my ways? What do I need to improve? What do I need to release? This is a catch 22. Here I am sitting writing at a machine that feels like it sucks my strength. I do not have extra energy to give now. I am grateful simply to get where I would like to go.
WHAT DO I NEED TO RELEASE? WHAT CAN I DO DIFFERENTLY?
What Weeds--inner furniture, baggage, beliefs--do I intend to release that I might celebrate more "Enchanted Garden" in my life?

I have been working on this....I realize I need to set some limits. I cannot do all the things that I used to do. I want to focus on the book...that alone is a big assignment. I am getting my Focus for what I need to prepare for the Natural Product Expo West. This is a Big Assignment too. I need to find the will to do this. I am still feeling the effects of the long winter and having my immune system down.
THUMB DRIVES
I pull out a couple Thumb Drives to see if I can find some of the originals of graphics that represent key elements of the "Grow A Healthier Pizza" book and the Campaign to Grow A Healthier Pizza 2013.
I want to find the graphic original where people write out the dream they are to plant.
I would like to redo the story of the Queen who loses her crown (Below).
(Made progress!!!)
ENTER BOB QUINN
My mind now turns to an ancient wheat grain called KAMUT ® that has become a close friend the last year, a simple grain of wheat that has been giving my life purpose and intent. I became enthalled with the story of a grain of wheat years ago. Over the years, I have attempted to rewrite that story in terms of the seeds that have inspired me. Then, in 2011, at a event called the Organic Summit, 1000's of miles from home, Robert Quinn, who has been popularizing KAMUT ®, an ancient grain of Khorasan wheat, came into my life. He had strands of the harvest of this grain in his hat. I asked for one. He gave it to me.
After years of turning from seed to seed, from beet's to Job's Tears, all favorite plants of mine--I had returned to ancient wheat. I now had an ancient grain I felt I could champion.
Robert Quinn was a man who was honored for his service to the Organic Movement. He was a philanthropist as well who helped others. In 2012, he was a benefactor for the Organic Farming Research Foundation, a non -profit I like.
WHEAT IS MALIGNED TODAY MORE AND MORE
Wheat is maligned today more and more. I have received great good from KAMUT ®, this ancient grain. I have been growing it. It has been my traveling companion. I have an intuitive hunch--told to be by the grain itself perhaps--that it is not wheat so much that is our problem, it is what we have done to wheat.
Today there is a craze for Gluten Free. KAMUT ® has gluten, but this is not the same kind of gluten that has been genetically modified in the laboratory.
Many people today have clearly been "assaulted" my modern wheat. For more than 100 years, we took a grain and suited it to our purpose. Then, we broke further natural law--when industry decided to fill our bodies with this one choice of food. There are many grains, and there are many foods we need.
We can't just eat wheat in everything!
I am convinced that time and good science will show us that Gluten is a Food Fad. I look to research to support my premise that it is not so much the grain of wheat that is the culprit, but what we have done to it!
A SIMPLE GRAIN OF WHEAT IS NOW MY TEACHER
A simple grain of Ancient Wheat was the teacher for the King in The Legend of Zoroaster Book--a story by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely- that has inspired this vision of a simple grain of wheat being my teacher, coming to remind me of the laws of nature. I encourage you to explore what the ancient grains--and the heirloom seeds--have to say to you as well.
SZEKELY WRITES
If you watch the growth of this seed...you will find that there is an indestructible and mysterious power in it--the Power of Life. If you watch long enough, you will see that the grain disappears and is replaced by a plant which will Triumph over all Obstacles and Opposition--which will grow higher and higher and higher because it has life with it.--Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.
I have graphics of this one.
I HAVE LOST MY ABILITY TO THINK ON ONE THING
Dr. Bernard Jensen writes in "The Joy of Living and How to Attain it" that we can hardly think two minutes on one subject. The computer has not helped me keep my thoughts on one subject.
I better reach for Mind-Full now from FES, the Flower Essence in the Flourish Line. It helps me counteract this serious mental condition I have developed. When I turn the Page, I often lose my thoughts.
I want to remember the simple seed this morning, that is growing in a pot in the front yard. This pot I will take to the Natural Product Expo West. It will be my show plant. I will ask those I meet at the show to plant dreams as well in the pot I will bring.
WHAT AM I PLANTING TODAY?
An ancient Grain of Wheat is now my teacher. She is guiding me.
The Ancient Grain of Wheat asks:
What am I planting today--a garden seed, a plant--to allow me to express the beauty of my Soul Nature?
What is my Seed Dream I am Planting today that I might radiate more health and vitality through me?
THE STORY OF A KING AND A MAN WALKING ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
This is a story told my Dr. Bernard Jensen:
Once Upon a Time, there was a King who was riding on his horse through the town. He rode above the people on his high horse. He came upon a farmer who was walking along the road. His back was straight. He had a healthy gait. He knew where he was going.
The king stopped. He said, "I am the King! I have reason to ride tall. What reason have you for walking so tall? The man said, "I am the King of me!"
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO BE "THE KING OF ME" TODAY?
What would it take for each of us to walk tall today?
We would have to be the "King of me!" This is no easy task. We do not even that food is intended to produce, foremost, health.
We do not know that the purpose of food is to feed our dreams, to give Voice to something deep inside of us that we call our Soul Purpose, and I call our Seed Dreams.
MANY VOICES ARE NOW SAYING "GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA!"
There are many voices now that I am hearing from Past, Present, and Future. They are all saying "Grow A Healthier Pizza!"
What does this mean. "Grow A Healthier Pizza?"
If Pizza has become the most popular food in America, and if Special Interests--the King on Horseback--now says that Two ounces of tomato sauce define Pizza as a Vegetable--they we as the King and Queen of Me will Grow A Healthier Pizza.
To grow a Healthier Pizza also means taking back our power. It means Winning back our Sacred Seeds. Seeds are a moot concept to most people who do not yet claimed the Right to Know the ingredients in our food!
One lesson that Prop 37 taught to me--was that we needed to build a Grassroots movement of Gardeners, and supporters of local agriculture. We needed ultimately to grow thousands more supporters.
The number 7.5 Million + 2 came from the number of Voters I sensed early on in 2012 that we would need to Win Prop 37. That was half of those who had registered to vote in California in the previous election. We needed a simple majority to win Prop 37. We came up 300,000 short.
The focus of Prop 37 was the Right to Know and to label GMO foods.
The elephant in the room was that many on both sides knew that this was more than about just labeling.
The No side feared that if GE Foods were labeled, this would kill their business. Many people would start asking questions.
Many on the YES side are already convinced that GE Foods are dangerous. They are clearly untested.
We were imagining that simply by passing Labeling, we could get the ball rolling to get people asking questions about their food.
Grow A Healthier Pizza goes farther than just labeling GMO's.
It means regaining confidence in our birthright to know that we can grow some of our own food.
We need to face the facts. We are in a Food Emergency.
Our system of agriculture and health is broken.
We are depending on a farming system far away from home too often and out of sight that places profit above bringing out the best in each of us.
This is shifting.
We can grow some of our food. We can have a personal relationship with the local growers who grow the rest of our food.
This is to be the King of me.
CONSCIOUS COMMERCE IS A KEY TO BEING THE KING OF ME
Every penny we spend on products that we use that we do not produce--we can bring in a different world through how we spend.
Who are the Dream carriers for a healthier humanity? Who are the entrepreneurs who care more about planting more nutrition per acre than profit her acre? Who are the entrepreneurs who care about the people producing their food, and making the products we use?
Who are your "King of me" allies who are looking out to build a Grassroots Movement of many "Kings and Queens of me?"
In this book, I want to share my personal experiences knowing first hand some of the companies that support Labeling. We need to build our Grassroots as well as our alliances to go beyond GE Proliferation.
