😊things that pop into my brain and make me thin

😊things that pop into my brain and make me think like waaaatttt 🤔🤪🤯🤯Fossil fuels are not a quick replenishing resource did you know that???😳⛽️🚛🛩 It takes millions of years for decomposing life material to be turned into a fuel that we use as gasoline to power our machines.
🦖 ☄️
With a bit of research you will find that it’s commonly agreed upon in the scientific community that if human society continues to extract and burn fossil fuels at the rate we do now, we will suck fossil fuels dry by 2075.
🙇‍♂️😑😬
I hope I live long enough to see what happens to our species, economy, lifestyles, and environment 🌎 when we no longer even have the option of putting carbon up into the atmosphere like we do today causing climate change😧 🧊 🔥 🌲
🌎 🤔
It will be interesting. I hope we transition smartly with renewable energy infrastructure 🌞... but imagine if we don’t and in a span of a few months we go from being so dependent on fossil fuels to the price of it increasing by 100X then all of a sudden it’s totally gone. That would be wild 😜
🤗😰
Btw I’m a human and a hypocrite too cuz I drive a car now building my farm in Costa Rica buuut I did get to CR on a 🚲 and it took me 2 years and that was a cool thing to do I bet I inspired a lot of people to drive less ✌️

🤪I have nothing against change, in fact I think change is technically all there is!
☺️🌋
I find it fascinating though how change shows up and doesn't show up in my personal life and my friends lives.
🕉😎
I went vegan, became and yogi and got into fitness all around 2012. After two years of great results I decided to share my journey and advice online in 2014. I’m still crushing it and vibing on the plant yoga nature fitness lifestyle and that why I’m still here talking.
😂💃🍓🥦🧘‍♂️🏃🏔
I went vegan for the most obvious reason which was I loved animals 🐄 🐷 and could always see their personalities and consciousness so I found it hypocritical to pay for their murder if I could survive and thrive on plants alone.
🍍🥥🥭🍠🌮
Then I got a degree in environmental science🤓and understood the ecological reasons that eating high on the food chain (animals) is a greater strain on mother earth vs nourishing ourselves from the sun via plants.
🌎
Since getting into the lifestyle in 2012 it’s pretty wild how 8 years later many of my once vegan and sustainability interested friends have evolved and changed their paths. It’s all good, we are all trying to figure out what is best for us and the planet and who is to say I’m right, but I find it funny how some people start eating meat again and claim that they were once in a vegan animal rights propaganda psychosis and that now they know animal agriculture is not bad, and plants feel pain too, and that the vegan lifestyle does not have legs to stand on it’s just a bunch of sick hippy doctors making false claims. Haha show me those studies… 🤯🤨😂😂🤦‍♂️
🤷‍♂️
I am not a woo woo 🧚‍♂️ person. I don’t believe in chem-trails, or spirits, I read scientific articles, I don’t think 5G is trying to detoxify our pineal glands and all this wacky shit some vegans think…but I am still 100% confident that reducing your animal product consumption, doing breath work, practicing yoga, reducing your fossil fuel use and buying locally is still THE BEST SHIT to do to feel great and lower your human impact on the environment. I think it’s the path my friends🕉🤙🌎

🔥🕉🍍Day 17 on only raw foods for me. Feelin hiigghh vibe. On an average day I’ve been eating 7 lil sweet date or ice cream bananas 🍌, a papaya or two, a pineapple 🍍, an avocado, a couple handfuls of fermented and dehydrated coconut meat, 15 rambutans called mamones here, a huge salad from my garden, some ground flax seed, about 20oz of orange juice and 60oz of coconut water. I don’t really drink regular water, maybe a glass a day when I first wake up. How long do you think I’ll keep it raw??🤪🦧🍍🍓🥭🍉🍉🍉🌶 #vegan #fruit #fruitarian #tropical #costarica #rawvegan #rawfoods

I grew this beet btw🤪CHANGE MY MIND… a new se

I grew this beet btw🤪CHANGE MY MIND… a new segment where I explain concepts I’ve believe in. I don’t claim to KNOW anything, I believe in things I have researched and or experienced and am always open to being wrong. After I state my claim, then you can either comment with a thumbs up👍 if you agree or almost entirely agree, or comment with a thumbs down 👎 and tell me why you think I’m wrong. I don’t get easily offended so feel free to go off on me if you find what I say preposterous.
🤘🤘😸
First one…I DON’T BELIEVE WE HAVE A SOUL… agree with me or change my mind 👻
🙀
HAHA.
😹😹
Okay let me explain. I believe humans are products of evolution just like all other creatures and organisms. I think we are entirely biological, when our body dies, so does everything with in us. I believe our emotions, passions, our inner self is all connected to our physical existence like the blood and bones and chemicals running through our bodies. I think we die and BLEEEEP we go away entirely, no soul or reincarnation or any of that. Just bye bye.
👋🤙
EVOLUTION explained in the simplest freakin way = 3 billion years ago the only life on earth was bacteria, and that bacteria evolved into sea creatures 🦑, and those sea creatures evolved because land looked cool🦞, crawled up there🏝, and long story short monkeys happened 🦧and 200,000 years ago (a blink in earths history) here we are, humans.
👨‍🎤
If we had an etherial soul that is not physical but inhabits our body or other bodies when our current body dies…when was our soul created? Before the human species existed? Before any life existed on earth? When humans evolved from other apes? What about when there were only 10,000 humans on the planet? Now there are 7.8 billion. If we all have a soul that lives on past our bodies, where did those souls come from, when were they created? And if our soul lives forever, damn the soul ghost world must be so crowded, so many humans have existed in the past 200,000 years.
🧑‍🌾
Change my mind, why am I wrong? What belief or proof do you have that souls and reincarnation exists and that they don’t follow the biological rules or life and death 🤷‍♂️🧠

🍋suuuuper epic time visiting the Ark Herb Farm yesterday (green ark foundation) in Heredia outside of San Jose, Costa Rica. We brought back about 40ish species of plants back to grow on our farm. Shit’s getting real on the farm...loving it. Posting a vlog of our visit tonight or mañana. Enjoy

I love to out weird the weirdos, it’s just a philosophy of mine.
🤪🤪🤪🍉🕉🕉🕉😎😂
Being weird and stoked about it is powerful.
💪💪
This life is a game. We are sacks of chemicals fluctuating and slowly dying, or quickly based on your relative perspective of time and space.
🙂 🌎
Being uncomfortable around weird people or strange circumstances probably means you stay in your comfort zone too often.
☹️
I see life as a messy, wild, untamed, beautiful beast of amazingness. It’s a big wave surf sesh.
🌊 🏄
I’m not telling you how to live, but I love to live weird. Push boundaries for yourself, test stuff out, take risks, be funny, smile, laugh. I am usually one of the, or THE, strangest, loudest dudes in any given room I’m in. I’m not annoying or a jerk, but I like to take the vibe to the next level. Get weird. It’s fun, gotta switch things up for people in this sometime monotonous world.

Cleanses can be so powerful.
🍉🌸
If you suffer from addictive behavior or crave too much stimulation to the point where it’s not serving you, a dramatic change might be what you need.
🤪
A couple weeks ago I got in a lil late night over eating habit, which is always connected to some emotional struggle, and I couldn't believe how many mornings in a row I would wake up positive and confident to break the cycle and then by night time BOOM right back to the bad choices.
☹️🤬
I tried to take a moderate approach…and it just was not working.
🔥
I got desperate and annoyed at feeling bad, so I decided to try a few days of only eating raw foods and damn this cleanse has worked.
🥥🌱🥭🥑🍍
I’m back on top! Feeling only gooood viibbeezzz and back to feeling like the vegan yogi king I am 👑
🍌🍌🍌
Strong, fast, flexible, ripped, all the cool stuff I enjoy.
💪😍✌️
It’s important to be aware of when you’re cleansing vs when you have simply found a new long term lifestyle.
😻
I’ve been fully raw (+morning coffee…i enjoy my organic coffee ritual and the morning energy kick) for 10 days now…and I have to say I feel better than I have felt in a long time.
💃
DAMN IT raw foods have done it to me again haha
😹😹🍍🍍🍍
I freaking love lentils and pumpkin curries and think cooked whole plant foods are so healthy, but I can’t deny how much better I feel on only fruit, coconuts and greens.
🥥🍓🥬🥒🍅
So we shall take it day to day and see where this phase takes me…if it’s just a cleanse or a longer term thing.

😻🥥🍉I’ve eaten only raw foods for the last 7 days. Just local fruits, coconuts, some flax seeds, and greens from my garden.
🌈🌸🥭🥭🥭
I don’t think I had done a full week raw since I was a lil fruitarian college student for a year after my first Woodstock Fruit Fest in 2014.
🤓🌱
Why am I on a raw phase? The past few weeks I had been waking up a bit tired, achy, and not feeling my 100% high vibe self. Also late night snacking was creeping into my life and that never works out well for me.
😕
I am very in tune with my body and energy so even little mistakes in my diet will make me feel way off and I get down on myself. I aint got time for that shit, I’m a high vibe high productivity mofo yogi…so I reached into my tool belt of experience and decided to go raw.
😜🍍🍍🍍🍌🍌🍌
I thought it would be just for a day or two…and that has turned into a week with no plan to stop. I’ve been eating mainly coconut water and coco meat, pineapples, papayas, bananas, avos, and garden greens. This might be a long raw experiment my friends, I’m feeling goood and live in tropical fruit paradise so here we are!
🏝🏝🏝✌️💪🥥🥥
Don’t expect air fried plantains in my posts anytime soon…haha don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll be eating rice and beans again eventually. Vamos a ver 🤷‍♂️

We started small, not sure we’d make it
🌱
Then we planted roots, and we keep growing together with experiences, water, nutrients, sun, and the new gifts of the changing seasons
🌈🌪🌧
We are patient, once in a while a flower blooms, then bears fruit and we enjoy the magic of our dedication and the miracle of love.
🥑🥥🍉
We know a wind storm, or a natural pest can take us down at any moment, ending what we once had, and that is ok, because the future is always change. We are yogis, we understand.

We appreciate every present moment we are still standing strong together, not attached to the future, just grateful for today🤎❣️

#adoptdontshop #dogsofinstagram #blueheeler #rescuedogsofinstagram

let’s remember there are only two options… ✌

let’s remember there are only two options…
✌️😎🔮
Option 1) YOU are incredible and figured out that Bill Gates is a demon from hell trying to control and subdue us all with vaccines that are meant to cause autism, your ability to astral project out of your body is a gift from the spirits, the California wildfires were caused by government lasers, you remember your past lives, weather manipulation chemtrails blanket our skies, voting isn't real, and reptilian pedophiles run Hollywood and Washington DC
🙄
or
🤷‍♂️
Option 2) you cray cray and/or bored.
🤗
I’m not saying all those claims in option 1 are definitely not true…just saying imagine if they are not true…so many of my friends are living conspiracy theory lies as they move through this complicated human experience. It’s fine, I don’t mind, it’s just WILD
🤯😂😂
I am sure I am living many lies too with things I really think are a certain way, but in reality I have not seen the light yet and will change my perspective. But I wait to surrender my previously convinced beliefs when I see a multitude of good evidence pointing towards something...rather than simply watching a highly edited 20 minute video or something and deciding all the non evidence based theories and talking points are the complete truth.
🤓🙃
It’s cool how much more we discover about the world, universe, and systems as we gain wisdom and experience. Living and learning and arguing differing beliefs is fun. Feel free to do it in the comments if you want. ✌️

🇺🇸 Kamala. In the last primary Bernie won over 50% of 18-44 year old dem votes. Biden won with voters 45 and over, what a surprise = young people who grew up with the internet and want real positive change wanted Bernie…vs old people who watch TV wanted Biden.

So Joe Biden wins the primary by a hair to the most radical progressive we have, and who does he choose for his VP to run against Trump…Kamala.

As a prosecutor in California, she oversaw the conviction of 1,900 people for marijuana related offenses. She laughed off federal weed decriminalization until 2018. Very late for a liberal.

Speaking of flip flopping, she was a proponent for medicare for all while running for pres, the principle progressive policy issue, UNTIL the primary debates, when she abruptly lowered her hand deciding she no longer believed in med for all. When you have privatized health care + a free public option, the best quality care and services get privatized, creating a two tiered medical system where the rich get better care than everyone else.

Lastly, in 2010 as District Attorney of San Fran, Kamala proposed a law to prosecute parents with kids who missed too many days of school. She now publicly regrets that past belief for the obvious reason that truancy often is a product of poor families, maybe without a car, struggling in an unfair system, rather than simply bad parenting.

Kamala is better than Biden or Trump, but Biden had a choice to lean more progressive honoring Bernie’s near victory, or double down in his establishment views, and he doubled down.

When money is so embedded in our electoral process with TV ads and corporate campaign donations, progressives who reject dirty money and vow to only serve average american people get smeared and stomped out of government power. It’s really depressing and makes it difficult to be optimistic about a progressive wave until these boomers (i know not all boomers but a lot of them) no longer make up the majority of votes during election time.

YOUNG PEOPLE…VOTE!

😸My family and I building, growing, being happy, and supporting each other.
🌈✌️🕉
Caring for other beings feels so good. Sure it’s scary taking on the responsibility of others and trying keeping your family happy, safe, grounded and grateful, but the highs are unparalleled.
🙌🙌💜
Family is always changing and evolving too. Like our tomato patch which one day will be a cucumber patch, this is our fam for now. It might grow, might shrink, who knows 🤷‍♂️ All that matters is the present moment, and surrounding yourself with the people that make you better today.
🤝🔥💪
Everyday we should evaluate our surroundings and make sure we are doing the best for ourselves.
🧘‍♂️😎
I think admitting that family and love is always changing like everything else in the universe is actually the most powerful form of love. It means that everyday when you show up for your kids, partner or siblings you are not doing it because you’re in some sort of contract you must fulfill, but you show up day to day because you want to. These days Magz 🐾 inspires me to stay silly and adventurous. Natalia mi amor 🙋‍♀️ inspires me these days to always increase mindfulness and never stop learning.
😻
You don’t have to be anywhere you don’t want to be. We are all free to change our lives at any moment, we don’t owe anything to anyone, we show up because we care, at least that I how I live.

🌈🔥One of the things in this life that I am the most sure of, although I can’t claim to actually know ANYTHING for certain, is the fact that we are allllll the same🤝, we are all made up of the same shit, we are all from the stars (dat’s science not woo woo talk), and we allll are here to simply exist with no bigger or greater meaning.
😻
Isn’t that nice. All the pressure you create in your life is just to help you get through this life without being too bored. You literally have nothing to actually do but exist and there are so many ways to do that.
😼
For instance remember there are yogic ashrams all over the world that will take you in, for free, and you just have to help out and meditate and live there.
🙀🧘‍♂️
Everything in your life is a choice, and while we all have different obstacles and points of privilege, most of us can make radical changes if we feel we need change. Just get educated, and plan, and don’t fear other people’s criticism and you’ll get quite far.
😸
I think the tropical paradise we are creating here, and the cabins, festivals, and retreats will serve as great leverage points for people who want change in their lives to come here, see what we do, and get some inspiration to do whatever you want and connect to what is important.
👊✌️
For me the important things are family, love, art, mindfulness, sustainability, nature, and passion.

🌴🌈🕉
Before knowing each other, Natalia and I both traveled to Bao Sheng Durian farm on Penang Island in Malaysia vegan hunting for the best durian and durian farming wisdom.
🌞🌸🕸
It’s simply the best fruit🤤 So complex, sweet, fatty, variable in favor and texture fruit to fruit, even on the same tree, even within the same fruit! It’s definitely the most satisfying fruit. It’s such a satiating meal when you eat a couple durian. You don’t need anything more in that meal. Just D.
💯
I don’t know if I’d be farming in the jungle right now after growing up in Los Angeles if it wasn't for the privilege to travel and experience fruits like durian.
🌄🌋
Yes we have durian here in Costa Rica, this is one locally grown, first of the season. The durian abundance is more on the Caribbean side, but more people are planting D trees over here. This baby costed $11USD, it’s a cash crop! We are planting many D’s on our land, grafted and from seed.
😉
Grafted trees, people say they get fruit in 5 years, from seed 10-15 years.
🤓
Farming is yoga is present moment gratitude is patience is observation of nature which is one love.

☺️We are drugs, plants are drugs, everything i

☺️We are drugs, plants are drugs, everything is chemicals that make you feel different things.
😍✌️🌱🔮
No matter if you’re sober or you take in drugs💊, drugs are running through your human body. It’s just natural.
🤓
We have evolved as humans to produce endogenous opioids like morphine for pain relief, imagine if we were not on that drug and things physically hurt even worse. We produce serotonin which regulates our mood and happiness reward system. Papaya seeds interface with progesterone and can reduce sperm count in men and reduce chance of pregnancy in woman as a natural form of birth control. We even produce a small amount of dimethyltryptamine DMT which gets released during near death experiences to help us reflect and feel euphoric if you are truly nearing your last moment of existence.
🤯😳
We are flesh bags of drugs, and our personalities and mood swings on a daily basis are just a steady drug trips that we figure out how to balance. Without the natural chemicals in your body, you would not be motivated, excited, sad, inspired. You'd just be a kinetic machine, like a robot.
🤖
Drugs make us not robots. Pretty cool. You can look at my farm, or any farm, as a food forest, but also a drug forest, drugs for good, drugs for existence. Drugs come from plants. They come from animals too, like us, we produce them, but we eat plants so who knows, maybe it’s all in the plants.

🎨😜🐾Handprinted magical shirt thanks to my brotha @buddy_art_cr 😍🙏 I have such rad friends!
🔥🌏😎
I manifest on many levels from my relationship with myself, to my external relationships, my connection to nature, my purpose on this planet and beyond.
🕉
What I mean by manifestation btw is simply feeling a connection to something I don’t have or know…keeping it in my mind, focusing on it and learning until it’s a part of my life.
☺️
Since watching The Wild Thornberrys on Nickelodeon when I was six what I wanted more than anything was an animal best friend I could explore the world with who was always free but still wanted to stick round and hangout with me instead of need to keep them in a cage or on a leash.
🐍
In case you forgot, I rescued Maggie at a shelter in East Los Angeles in January of 2018, and since then she’s been my best friend. We have traveled by bicycle through seven countries together, we’ve camped in deserts, rainforest, on the beach, and high in the mountains, all off leash, just having fun and enjoying each other.
🚵‍♂️
She changed my life so much, set me on the path towards parenthood and increased amounts of responsibility. She helps me non attach to all material things a bit easier by watching how she lives, and that is the greatest gift a guru can give me.
🧘‍♂️
Be present, don’t take things soo seriously, you are whole at all times. We are alive! Hare Krishna 🤸‍♂️😎🕉🐾

🤪✌️🍉 🇨🇷 I’ve been getting a lot

🤪✌️🍉 🇨🇷 I’ve been getting a lot of “WOW YOUR LAND AND LIFE IS SO EPIC GIVE ME ADVICE ON HOW TO LIVE OFF GRID IN COSTA RICA LIKE YOU!”
☺️😎🙃
The best advice I can give is just to share my story and the main factors that got me here.
😏
1) Luck and privilege. Sorry, you can’t replicate this, it just is what it is. I was brought up in a family with parents that supported me in spreading my wings and trying new weird things without fear of failure. This helped me relentlessly be myself instead of following other peoples safer more conventional paths. 💰 Money wise…I’ve dumped ALL my earned cash I’ve made and saved into this project of building my food forest and home, but my parents are helping me financially A LOT, and for that I am super privileged. My parents have worked hard and saved up for me and my siblings and this is my biggest life project and they see the vision too🙏🙏😎Next…
2) I am creative and have the ability to dream and not care about what others around me think as long as I’ve thought through my decision. I find a lot of people care to much about keeping the anxious or paranoid people around them happy. I have no interest in that, just doing what I think is best for me, the people I love, and the planet. I don’t waste my time to make people that “don’t get it” more comfortable. Haha if my vibe or how I live stresses you out...cool story, good luck, I’ll keep doing my thing🧘‍♂️😊🕉
3) I like to GRIND and execute the small steps in order to make a big goal happen. I like detail and it’s not hard for me to spend days or weeks on little important grueling projects because I can envision all the puzzle pieces coming together to make the dream happen in the end.
🏋️🌍
Hope this helps a bit and leave me a comment with more questions if you have them about how I got here.

🤸‍♂️Getting upside down has never been mo

🤸‍♂️Getting upside down has never been more important than in these times.
☯️😊
I’ve always loved getting upside-down for these reasons.
🧘‍♂️
1) Inversions are awesome for flipping the normal effect of gravity on your blood flow, and is an awesome strength builder.
💪
2) Forces you into alignment because when you are not in alignment during an inversion you have to use more muscle vs your normal anatomical skeletal structure.
🏋️
3) MOST IMPORTANT: TURNS YOUR WORLD UPSIDE-DOWN and why is that important??
🤪🧐🧐
I am really convinced that MOST humans are not free enough in themselves to live their BEST lives. I think we grow up in situations that we adopt for ourselves unconsciously, and quickly become afraid to venture out into an alternative life path that is attractive to us but not at all relatable to the lives we were brought up in.
✌️
This causes stress, fear, and regret when we don’t follow our dreams in fear of failure.
😕
So getting upside down is metaphorical training to unlearn the things that no longer serve us, see the world in a different way than we thought we knew, and go for something different.
☺️😜☄️
In these times especially you must rethink the path you thought you were on, and move forward with an open mind instead of following a path you didn’t even choose for yourself.

I took a few buddhism studies classes in college.

I took a few buddhism studies classes in college. Life changing.
😊🌈☯️
Let me try to explain
🧿
Nothing we experience is actually real. Everything is just as real as it is an illusion acting real for now. Thus, when we get attached to things as they are, and don’t want them to change (your relationship, car, job, body etc.) we are bound to suffer because everything is constantly changing. The ONLY thing that has no change…is the present moment.
🔮
The table you are using today to eat or work on will one day break and be thrown away
🧐
It will turn into a million pieces, dust, and not resemble anything close to the table you once used.
😨
This concept pertains to ALL THINGS EVER, even your emotions.
🤯😳
Sand on the beach was not created as sand.
🙄
Every grain of sand you see and feel on the beach is just eroded rocks, minerals, shells and other pieces of debris in nature that use to be called one thing, and now has changed form so we call it another thing completely different.
⛰ 🏝
Sooooo think about all that shit…then realize if that pertains to all things, change is the only thing we should expect and be comfortable with.
🤔
If you understand that attaching to things as they currently are is silly and brings suffering because EVERYTHING changes, nothing can bring you down, because you know nothing was real to begin with, we are all just change in physical or mental form. We are nothing really, just all the same change.
😏😋
We are like the sand. We are humans now, alive with egos…but one day we will be rendered back to down to almost useless, then we wont even exist.
😍
So why get upset when things don’t go your way?
🤓😆🤷‍♂️
What is your way? What is you? You is just an idea for now, that will change, so who cares about anything?
💆‍♂️
Just have fun, do your best, and don’t take anything seriously. Nothing at all🙏🙏🌈😊🏄‍♂️☯️👏👏👏✌️🕉
