This was a goldmine of perspectives ! I loved this interview. The spiritual aspect is interwoven and explains the yogic vedantic way of life. Plant based for ethics, for health, for the environment, and for spiritual progress.. thank you so much..especially spending this time with him when too many people just watch "shorts." ❤
Yeah no doubt I had to drive so far to do this though man. All of these interviews are such a rush. I hope to start taking my time with them more though like this and doing the cooking thing. Moving forward I plan on doing interviews much different. But I still have so much to release that I've already shot that it may take a while before you start seeing that type of content. So glad you like it! The whole thing was 5 hours and 15 minutes long I took out like an hour and a half of it
Ooo - 1.5 hour interview with a 1/2 hour cooking part to relax and bring reality and perspective to it. You got a setup going! I loved when he got you to see new foods and smell and taste it. So glad others are helping me over there doing my work for me lol. I see what you're saying that when you drive so long you take your time, but have little time to do so in the end. At least you get to go over it in length what you miss when editing! Peace of mind for a channel sounds beautiful :) I'm there with you in those drives - we all are.@@VeganLinked
43:11 I agree - disconnecting oneself from who one is is how we get detachment from nature that leads to violence against it. While violence is inherent within our nature, I do believe it's not within us to be violent, but because we have reasoning and a brain and we're pushed and conditioned for most if not all of it. Then again, we can condition ourselves not to be violent too - but that's different. People naturally have an aversion to violence and harm - otherwise no one and nothing can survive. Once we go past that - and it is within our nature to discount and mentally shield it - then we become it. So to reconnect with being alive - via veganism, etc. is how we can live and see a thriving world.
22:59 dealing with oneself is key to survival. Agreed. Avoiding relying on animals for our survival is a step in the right direction. I believe in going further - to plants too. However, not fully with plants - because eating them is key to their survival too - so we have a responsibility to meet.
This was one of the most wonderful videos of veganism that I have ever seen. As I was watching this, I thought of 2 Corinthians 13:5-8 which tells us, “Examine yourselves to see whether you are faithful to God; test yourselves and don’t do anything against the truth, for God is truth, and therefore you must do things for the truth." Only those who forsake the truth could ever harm God's creations. Far too many human beings replace the truth with human ideas that favor human profit, gluttony, greed and gain, and yet all of these human based things are the very things that are killing the entire natural world, so where is the sense in it? In truth, humans who do these things have no sense at all.
5:33 that's what I'm talking about - everyone should have a personal website! Then we can all share what we know to the world. I just checked out his website. If he replaced matcha with barley grass powder - he wouldn't need a b12 supplement. Also beneficial is to avoid mixing bananas and chocolate together. Bananas inhibit the antioxidants of cacao. Raw, soft foods diet is the way to go - so he's living it! All that's left is for him to garden lol.
16:29 I agree that current definitions of love and veganism don't encapsulate what it looks like in practicality. So I agree about not being restricted by semantics.
I'd be curious to run it through cronometer or something like that to see how it even pans out nutritionally speaking. I probably should have explored how he even came up with his concoctions. But he seems to be happy with it and doing well!
@@richaramela there's two links there one of which goes to his diet page. I guess he doesn't really have a link to it from the front end because maybe he wanted to update it or something.
@@VeganLinkedfound it. You are right. It's on the website. His smoothies are quite heavy duty and have a whole lot of things. Why do you find his way of eating unusual? He seems to be following a very healthy mostly raw plant based diet.
well, the frequency, the overall amount, so many smoothies, it's cool, and maybe something I would like to try in a way. I haven't really analyzed it to be fair. But, from what I recall it wasn't like what most vegans I know. Later in the year I hope to get more into what vegans are actually doing in the kitchen. That should be really helpful. For the most part, most of us eat legumes, greens, grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. I think he may be doing this, so perhaps it's not too far off the wfpb vegan norm. It's really hard to put into words quick here. In short, I rarely do smoothies, it's good to chew ;) and I do a lot of raw but I cook my legumes and grains and lots of my veggies. Some things are more nutritious cooked, like carrots, tomatoes, and something probably are better/safer cooked like some cruciferous and mushrooms... And he eats all throughout the day and night, maybe that's why he does smoothies. I just eat within a small window of time. In theory it's good to get a metabolic break/fast. But, it's all good. As long as his sleep is good (which I probably should ask him) and his bowel movements he's probably fine I suppose. He may be moving near me in which case I would be able to do a follow up with him and maybe even do some meal prep videos with him... maybe @@richaramela
51:37 I wish I had a Venn diagram to visualize this next 10 minute exchange, because your definition is the various intersections of his definition; both are helpful 📝
I wish his website had links to the pictures to match which ones correlate to which recipe. There's no labels or anything. It's mildly organized, but I wish it was better.
18:45 love to me is care - so we can choose who we care and what we care. There's different types and levels of care. Some say you can care for someone and not love them. I say that's not true - you do love someone at a certain extent if you are caring for them.
A smootharian. And a good-hearted one at that. Is 'God'the word he is searching for? It is said that God is Love, and Truth, and One-ness. And Perfection as well. Unstable things (like our bodies) are not illusionary, though, just transient- because of their imperfection.

Min 13: Advaita (non-duality) Min 15: Vipassana (insight) wonderful guest teşekkürler
Who is the ultimate observer? This is so much more than expected, really enjoyable. Thanks so much. Well done ❤
I'm only 2 minutes in and I love it already
✨️💫✨️
Absolutely loved this interview. What an amazing person. Thank you so much ❤
way to go for 3 hours video - and it's a musician! What a treat.

An extraordinary interview. ❤
thanks so much for watching, it was a beast to edit!
What a wonderful man ! So many helpful insights. Thank you for this discussion. Çok teşekkür ederim Bülent. ❤
The philosophy of life explained in simple terms. Love this episode.

2:09 this is so cool, hanging out with this person in their own home, implementing recipes with them. I love doing that!
This interview was phenomenal. It changed my life. Already vegan, now spiritually vegan. Thank you both.
@@WayOfFallenPetals sweet, thanks so much for watching and sharing! 💚💪💚
This was so good! This is one you save and return to several times to fully absorb its richness. ❤

2L42 he knows what's good - mesquite powder's underrated! It's what you use instead of smoke to give a smoky effect for raw vegan food.
9:00 buckwheat is awesome! He has good tastes, although I did mention some improvements.

2:58 yes - they're both legumes! Like wisteria too.
Couldn't find his website with the food info. Could you please share the link here? Tks!
It's in the description

@@VeganLinked his website does not have any recipes information. Just his work as a musician

Here's the link then I'm talking about

Beautiful ❤❤❤
1:49 oh no - the symptoms of a plant-based diet - you get ripped with strong muscles.
9:12 I want to get into malted oats.
He looks better than Brian with the Blueprint.
Lol, nice
....thus, diet. No more 'Italian' food. (sound vibrational riddles are said slowly)
There's nothing wrong with Italian food! It's easy to veganize 🙂
Does he only drink smoothies on a daily basis?
I think he does one meal and the rest smoothies, I think it says that on the website and he may in the video too, I don't recall right off.
I think the dinner part addresses his meals which seem to be mostly soups. He has an unusual way of eating from what I can tell.

Smooth operator... no need to ask
“all problems are mental, all solutions are spiritual “ beautiful 🙏🏻

1:15 must be the ones who stayed away from martha stewart's yard - omg hopefully every animal stays away from her yard to this one instead.
1:40 I love that - that's goals to live up to - having a wild, unimpeded yard.
A smootharian. And a good-hearted one at that.
Is 'God'the word he is searching for? It is said that God is Love, and Truth, and One-ness.
And Perfection as well.
Unstable things (like our bodies) are not illusionary, though, just transient- because of their imperfection.
17:59 I disagree - intelligence can be synthesized and can come from artificial sources.
