I love the smoothie. You can really make it nutrient dense.

Have you checked these videos out yet? Ken Wilber's 321 process is pretty straight forward.

This was interesting. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/brown-black-purple-red-unlike-white-rice/

Set your meditation timer for 30 minutes, set to ring every 10 minutes. For the 1st 10 minutes do a consentrative method, like breath counting. For the 2nd 10 minute segment use a Do Nothing technique. For the 3rd segment do self inquiry.

If you feel comfortable in the Christian tradition try Father Thomas Keating. http://www.centeringprayer.com/

I liked "The Automatic Millionaire" by David Bach. He has lots of good books on personal finance. http://davidbach.com/

So the voice came from outside of your body and mind?

Try this: Sit to meditate, set your meditation timer to rings at 2 minute intervals for a total of 20 minutes. Spend your first 2 minutes resting as the witness, pure awareness. For the next 2 minutes bring the people and events that are stuck in your mind into awareness. Really feel it and experience it all. Look at it from every direction. Pretend that you are video taping it all, without emotion, neutral, just observe. Then when the timer rings let go of the 'people and events' and fall back into resting as the ever present witness. Keep going back and forth between these states, every two minutes. After a while your mind will get board with the object of the obsession and let it go. It may take a few sessions until it is all purged. The goal here is to make the subject, (the attachment to the people and events) into an object (a passing thought in the mind).

Lucky enough to have Wegmans where I live.

I like what Mooji says about it .

I really enjoyed this documentary.

I've noticed that the thoughts are real. It's the content of the thoughts that aren't real. For instance, if you think about a flower that you have seen, the thought about the flower is real but the flower pictured in the thought is not. It's a fantasy.

Gonna keep an eye out for the fresh berries. The powder works great in smoothie.

The ultimate punch line.

Maybe in switching to vegetarian you started eating more vegetables and fruit? If this is the case, you may not need as many calories because you are eating more nutrient dense foods and your bodies nutritional needs are being meet, while eating fewer calories. Is this possible?

I recently finished Radical Awakening level 2 Practitioners Training here: http://www.radicalawakening.org/ What happens in a Radical Awakening Session: http://www.radicalawakening.org/awakening/session.html I want to practice the techniques that I learned. I am looking for a couple of people to practice on. I was thinking of doing some sessions over skype or something similar. As far as I know this has not been tried in a remote format so I'm not sure how well it will work. If you are interested, have an open mind, and can go into it with no expectations, contact me.

Still looking for one or two more people. Here is some more information on the process. It is basically pointing out instructions involving changes in perceptions to point to the higher Self. The Radical Awaking process was designed by a student of Papaji (Sri. H. W. L. Poonja), Yukio. Papaji was a direct student of Ramana Maharshi. Papaji gave Yokio the name Ramana, after his own teacher. In 1995 Papaji asked Ramana (Yokio) to work with a few people who were having trouble with Ramana Maharishi’s self-inquiry. The Seven Steps to Radical Awakening was born out of that request. If you are interested in checking out a free session via skype message me.

Interesting clip about green teas ability to help induce alpha brain waves. Could drinking a cup or two of tea help you meditate? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-brain-wave-alteration/

I like David Bach's stuff. http://www.finishrich.com/shop/shop.php He covers real estate. I listened to his books on overdriver.

I think in zen they say something like... "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."

Maybe it's hard for you to learn from someone else. But can you look where someone is pointing? Words cannot describe it. But words can point to it. Once you get a glimpse then the need for words is gone.

Try adding an hour or two of sleep to your daily routine. You may be overtired even though you don't really feel it in your body.
