this thread is pointless.
I remember this qoute from the Bible:
' Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedth out of the mouth of God.'
It seems we can live much more simply materially speaking and much more extensively on the energy or word of God.
This may be a lesson that some of us are learning and starting to experience in our lives.
I have eliminated meat and fish from my diet, sugar as well unless I have no honey. Very little or no sweets. Less and less processed foods. More and more fresh vegetables and fruits, mushrooms, herbs and sprouts.
Less need for new clothing. Less need to travel and more need to go within where I find myself.
