Raw Living

I was in Fairfax, CA the other day, and walking down the street I found Lydia's Kitchen, a raw and cooked vegan restaurant. Much less pretentious than Cafe Gratitude in near by San Rafael, it was warm and welcoming with earthy art on the walls. This is the same Lydia that runs Lydia's Organics that you can buy at health food stores. I had the small raw 'kreamy pizzaz' and a fig drink. My baby had some banana. It was so good. I hope to go back soon.

If you are interested in events of a spiritual nature, William Patrick Patterson will be speaking, in several different locations, on "Spiritual Realization or Delusion: Exploring the Life of Adi Da Samraj." A high profile man, Adi Da Samraj's life and teaching took a bizarre direction. This talk can be heard in CA and on the East Coast.

There are many Gurdjieff Legacy events happening in the coming months. A celebratory dinner, a recital of Gurdjieff's music, seminars and talks...something of interest for everyone. Look at their website http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/20announce/events.php?page=2 for more information

RAW Pesto

So I may not be technically raw...not 90%, not 85%...maybe...ok, not 50%...maybe 25%? Maybe. Ok. The basil in our garden was starting to react to the cold, so I made RAW pesto:

1 part basil (the rest of what was in the garden)

1 part spinach

about 1 cup olive oil

salt

juice of 1 lemon

3 cloves garlic

2 cups walnuts (pine nuts being hard to find right now)

Really tasty! I can put it on raw veggie noodles, or cooked noodles. I have also frozen most of it in small "cookies" and put it in the freezer with waxed paper between each cookie. Healthy!

The most recent edition of The Gurdjieff Journal is out now! Find it here: http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/10journal/tgjcurrent.htm
The article "Are You Occupied?" sounds very intriguing...

William Patrick Patterson has released a new book on Adi Da Samraj. An interesting figure, it should be interesting to read the "first critical assessment of his life". Check it out at http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/30books/fourth.php?page=2#adid

The art exhibit previously referred to has been cancelled. William Patrick Patterson's will no longer be displayed.

There will be another painting exhibition sponsored by Gurdjieff-Legacy. Just as the last, paintings by Bruce Freedman, this will be a short window of time to see the paintings of William Patrick Patterson. "Adventures in Inner Images" will be open on November 18th and 19th, with a reception at 7:30 on the 18th. For more information, see their website: http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/20announce/events.php?page=2

While looking at the information regarding the gallery exhibition, I noticed that the theme of the upcoming Seminar has changed. It is now simply "Gurdjieff's Complete Teaching of The Fourth Way Part 1". Why the change, I wonder? Again, see http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/20announce/events.php?page=2 . Hope to see you there. I will be the one eating the oranges off the trees in the orchard.

Gurdjieff Legacy has announced its theme for the upcoming Seminar. It is: "Gurdjieff's Fourth Way Complete Teaching Part I: From Many Selves to Conscious Self to Individual Self to the Self." Intriguing, hmmm? What does this mean? In what way will the Seminar address the Complete Teaching? This seems an opportunity not to be missed for those serious about self-knowledge.
