Hello
and welcome to Eight Lights, your everyday resource for a living raw vegan
lifestyle. I’m Reverence Lily, and I approve this message, er, I have come to a
living raw vegan lifestyle through years of struggle with self-hatred, apathy
towards the world around me, and mental illness. We
live in a world which is poisonous to our dreams, hopes and ideals. If we are
to live as whole people in this world, we must learn to love ourselves and take
care of ourselves. Fortunately, because of the relatively small variation in
the human body’s needs, differing mostly in caloric and comparatively little in
micronutrient intake, we can be sure that a similar diet to the ones our
ancestors evolved on is right for our bodies—that is, a living raw vegan diet! When
we consume the diet that is meant for us, we begin to naturally want to be more
active and—most importantly—we begin to experience joy. Because the choice to transition to a living raw vegan
lifestyle—not including just the diet of veganism but the lifestyle of it—is
inherently an ethical one, we free ourselves from the oppressive guilt of
knowing that we are hurting other creatures with our actions for no more reason
than we like the taste of their bodies or the feel of their skin. Eight
Lights is dedicated to the revolution of kindness that is happening now and
helping it grow. If we do not do something to get ourselves out of the mess
we’re in right now, we will be in far deeper trouble down the road—all of us,
male and female, human and nonhuman. To begin the rescue of the Earth from
these human-created circumstances, we must demand Radical Peaceable Actions
(RPAs) from ourselves before we demand anything of others. Radical
Peaceable Actions include all of these and more: - Becoming vegan - Becoming raw - Seeing the world’s
beauty - Taking action
against injustice - Forgiving ourselves
and others - Loving our bodies - Refusing to hurt
others, and - Otherwise standing
up for our ethics! Radical Peaceable Action is the way of the future—a mindful, compassionate and just way of living. Eight Lights is dedicated to teaching this world that path. Won’t you join us?
