Note from the Editor: Doctor James Costello, of Stephen James Luxury Organics (and a dear friend of TFT HK!), has written a fascinating pair of articles for HuffPost, detailing the reasons that the calorie is an inadequate measure of a food's energetic worth. He proposes the idea of a "quantum calorie," a measurement of food's energy built upon the Quantum model, in which "consciousness informs everything first, and the Universe springs to life out of delight in itself." This post, titled "The Quantum Calorie" is the companion piece to last week's "Burn the Calorie". Thank you to you to James for allowing us to reprint the article! Drs. James and Stephen Costello are the creators of Stephen James Luxury Organics, a company "based on the philosophy of creating abundant personal energy through the consumption of highly mineralized and nutritious whole foods created with maximum life energetics." Their products (we at TFT HK are fans of everything they make, but our favorites are Beauty Bar, Volcanic Pili nuts, saffron-pink Himalayan salt, and Carazuc!) are raw, organic, and delicious. You can support their great work and advocacy of healthy people and planet by checking out their website and Facebook page:
"If you want to find the secret of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." -- Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) Inventor of the Radio and Alternating Current
Our Quantum Calorie must measure intelligence. We are aware today that living entities vibrate with discreet frequencies of organized energy. This includes real food, which is originally organized by plants as they harness the energy of the sun in the miraculous process of photosynthesis. The energy of living plants and animals is transferred to us when we consume them.
