In the 1970s there was a big phad about these "new kids" - indigo children - that were coming along to change the world. Apparently they were going to bring about a spiritual revolution which would bring heaven on earth by 2012.

Most of what you find on the internet about indigos is pretty confused. Most of the people who write about indigos are not indigos. Some of them are decent channelers, and they at least can channel some decent information, but they often make a good few mistakes while they're about it. Doreen Virtue - we're looking at you. Other people are neither indigo nor channelers, and their only source is second-hand, third-hand, fourth-hand.... and we have a set of Chinese whispers that cross the world and before you know it, indigos are unspeakably strong or we're magical superbeings that can walk on water or God knows what.

Indigos are pretty special creatures. But we're not Jesus. And we're not every child, either. Let's debunk some myths.

A commenter asked me why I was into dumpster diving - and expressed interest in why anyone does it. In this article I'd like to try explain what my views are.

I started the "freegan" lifestyle in general about a year ago. I didn't name it that, but this was basically what I was. I lived in squats, even on the street a little bit.

"Free food", an article I wrote on bin diving, also known as skipping, dumpster diving, or freeganism, has just come out in Barcelona Metropolitan magazine. This obscure practise involves getting food for free from the bins of supermarkets. Done correctly, this is better than it sounds, as supermarkets are generally incredibly wasteful and a lot of perfectly good food gets thrown away. When I was doing it, there were many times in which I really couldn't perceive what tiny flaw, if any, had been the reason I had been so generously gifted the stuff I found. A real lesson in divine abundance :)

I'm so psyched! This is my first article in print, and I'm proud of it. You can find it online here.

I used to write journal-style entries in this blog, which I have cut down on mostly, except where inspirational and interesting. So you might have heard of the guys who I used to call my "teachers". Out of embarrassment I deleted that from some of my prominent posts, because the fact is I don't know what I was smoking but it was strong stuff! Those teachers were silly, manipulative bastards who just happened to believe their own lies so strongly that it drew other people in. I hope you don't think I'm not qualified to write a website about finding truth then - I think this may make me more qualified, as it taught me one important lesson - "Don't be a guru".

There was one lesson however which they accidentally gave me that I haven't tried to clear out of my head; whatever book they stole it from had been a good one. When they replied to the word "thankyou" they would say "thanks to you" instead of "don't worry about it" or anything like that. I took the essence of it - I don't say "thanks to you" but I really like the idea of not negating the other person's sincere thanks.

Hi guys, I've been working hard on The Spiritual Vegan and just now I've added a new page where I offer for a limited time only free coaching to help you transition to a healthier diet - particularly a vegetarian or vegan one.

I spent the day writing for my food site, The Spiritual Vegan. I think the new posts are interesting fo the readers of Remap Your Reality, so I thought I'd present them, and The Spiritual Vegan, here.
