A Journey into Thought & Spirit

Sunspiration #118: We Must Apply Spiritual Theory

5/26/2019

Christ didn't come onto this planet to boast about his Father or talk the walk. He walked the talk to inspire people to develop their relationship with the almighty God. 

In today's digital era, it is so easy to become spiritually "book smart." All we have to do is log onto Youtube or take an online course and boom, we're spiritually knowledgable. So. many people claim they don't have enough time, which maybe true, but many are not efficient with their time. They need to ground themselves to use their time wisely. 

Humans can have all the knowledge in the world, but if they don't apply the theories or practices to their life, nothing will change. We all have a choice to apply the wisdom or let it waste away. Jesus once said, “Know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” There is spiritual wisdom steeped within your subconscious and your soul, but it is up to you to access it. 


As always, inspired by the sun,

Vegan Mushroom Fennel + Leek Quiche

A bit late in posting, but better late then never. Although I consider quiche warm and hearty and perfect for the winter months, spring is foraging season for mushrooms in Washington State, so if you're picking mushrooms and need a new recipe to try, here is an earthly, dairy-free quiche for you and your family.

Mushrooms are quit interesting and fascinating. Some are poisonous and some are known to have power to save the planet.

Save the planet? 

Yes, you read that right.  Washington native, Paul Stamets studies mushrooms and believes the mycelium, the root structure, has immense power to change human health and the planet's well-being. I dont know enough about the topic, but i find it fascinating that nature has provided us an organism that can boost immunity to clean up oil spills. 
Picture
The earth is a natural self-healing organism. The earth organically recycles and grows and produces everything we need in order to survive. It is up to our human consciousness and intellect to understand how to use (or know the power of) the grown organisms. If mushrooms can save the planet, just think of how amazing this earth can become.

____________________________________
Filling Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1/2 heaping cup, leeks, chopped
1 cup fennel, chopped (white bulb part of mushroom)
2 cup criminology mushrooms, sliced
1.5 tbsp parsley, chopped

___________________________________

quiche base ingredients
2 tbsp + 1 tsp nutritional yeast

2 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice 
1 tbsp non dairy milk
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 garlic clove for the tofu mixture
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp tumeric
pinch of pepper 

Directions:
Begin pressing the tofu. Wrap the tofu in 3 paper towels or with a kitchen towel. Set it on a plate and then set a bowl or heavy object on top to press out the water. 

Preheat the oven to 350-degrees and mold the pie pan with the crust.

In a pan, cook the vegetables in olive oil until edible or when mushrooms shrink. Add the parsley during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside when done.

Once the tofu is pressed, puree the tofu and the remaining ingredients noted in the third batch of ingredients. Once pureed, mix the blended tofu and the vegetables together. 


Pour into the pie crust and bake for 30-35 minutes. The quiche will solidify once cooled. Enjoy warm!

Sunspiration #117: Feed the Soul, Not the Ego

5/5/2019

In previous posts I wrote about the power of love, and discussed Einstein's thoughts regarding love in his letters to his daughter. It is no secret that modern society has spiritual, mental and ego issues. I've also spoken in Youtube Videos, where loneliness may be the root cause for many issues today, specifically eating disorders. Loneliness fuels a negative cycle, which triggers isolation, depression, negative thinking and low self-esteem. 

Most people today are great at nourishing their ego, but not their soul. Love is the root cause of everything healthy on this planet. Most people want to give love, but some are not good at receiving love, thus isolating themselves from the one energy to purify their soul. If you want to feed your soul, nourish it with acts of love and kindness and through the wisdom and love from God.
