Mexico's sacred grain: Amaranth (not corn)

More protein than beef per acre, canned by Spanish Conquistadors, erased from every farm

More protein than beef per acre, banned by Conquistadors, erased from every farm

Mexico invented chocolate helped by gods

(Forgotten Roots) Feb. 19, 2026: There is a grain (seed) so powerful that Mexico's Aztec Empire dedicated 200,000 acres to it—more than any crop except corn (maize). #amaranth

• Mind you, ancient Mexicans are the same people who gave the world chocolate or xocolatl (bitter cocoa water), which they called Theobroma cacao, "The food of the gods." Who were these celestial visitors or "gods," who pointed out the potent nutritional seeds and delicious flavor of the cacao fruit?
• The first chocolate drink is believed to have been created at least 5,300 years ago, starting with the Mayo-Chinchipe culture in what is present-day Ecuador [3] and later consumed by the Maya around 2,500–3,000 years ago. A cocoa drink was an essential part of Mexico's Aztec culture by 1400 AD [4]. The drink was introduced by Mexico (New World) and became popular in Europe has undergone changes since. Until the 19th century, hot chocolate was used medicinally to treat ailments such as liver and stomach diseases. More

Amaranth (family Amaranthaceae) delivers complete protein, survives drought, and for centuries fed 20+ million people. Then in 1519, Spanish Conquistadors made growing it punishable by death in Mexico (Mesoamerica) and the Americas.

• Amaranth was very successfully grown in Mexico's floating gardens or chinampa

Amaranth: robust, delicious, and very nutritious

They did so not because it failed but because it was so valuable it was considered "the body of the gods" [devas, celestial "light beings," helpers, alien visitors, rulers].

 

Amaranth contains 13-14% complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids, one of the very few vegan plant sources of a complete protein, along with quinoa.

Amaranth produces more usable protein per acre than cattle grazing and thrives in conditions where wheat dies.

The Aztecs mixed it with honey to create tzoalli—sacred dough shaped into gods, worshipped, and eaten for supreme nourishment.

To the European Spanish invaders, this was demonic and cannibalistic. To modern agriculture, it's a threat.

Heirloom seeds: DNA treasure

By 1970, amaranth had nearly gone extinct. Today it is sold as a $30-a-pound (lb) superfood in health food stores while wheat and corn—both harmful and incomplete proteins—dominate 90% of global grain production.

The amaranth ban ended, but the seed companies never brought it back. This is the story of how religion, colonial conquest, and industrial agriculture buried the most nutritious grain in the Americas.

Regrow Altadena workshops (9/13-14)

Episode 2: Regrow Altadena

It's FREE and live and full of music

(Frankie Norstad) April 22, 2025: Frankie Norstad sits down with Laurie Scott, founder of Regrow Altadena—a grassroots project literally rooted in healing. What began with a rescued pothos [popular houseplant] and a shelf of propagated succulents has blossomed into a powerful community effort to re-green the landscape of Altadena, one plant at a time. Scott shares how this initiative grew from personal loss and a deep love of gardening into a broader mission to reconnect neighbors with nature, hope, and each other. Together, they talk about everything from soil remediation and native plants to the quiet grief of losing more than just a house—like the beloved garden pots passed down from family or the fig tree that somehow survived. It's a conversation about rebuilding not just structures, but ecosystems, memory, and meaning. For anyone looking for tangible ways to nurture resilience and re-root themselves, this episode is a beautiful place to begin.

Enlightened Master Shaila Catherine

Amber Larson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly Wikipedia edit

Shaila Catherine is an American Buddhist meditation master, teacher, and author in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.

She is known for her expertise in insight meditation (vipassana) and meditative-absorption (jhana) practices. She has authored two books on jhāna practice, Focused and Fearless and Wisdom Wide and Deep, and has introduced many American practitioners to samadhi/concentration practices through her writings and retreats.

Catherine is the founder of Insight Meditation South Bay in Mountain View, California, and the primary teacher for Bodhi Courses, an online Buddhist classroom.

She conducts retreats locally, nationally and internationally in mindfulness (satī), concentration (samādhi and jhāna), lovingkindness (mettā), and insight meditation (vipassanā).

 

She began meditating in 1980 in California and later travelled and studied in Asia, training and practicing with Advaita Vedanta Master H.W.L. Poonja in northern India; Tibetan Dzogchen Masters Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche in Nepal; and at Theravāda forest monasteries in Thailand.

In addition to these Asian masters, she has studied with founders of Western meditation centers (Christopher Titmuss, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and Lama Surya Das).

Catherine developed a special interest in the practice of deep concentration, and in 2003-2004 devoted a one-year silent meditation retreat to exploring absorption as the foundation for insight meditation. Based upon her experiences in this retreat, she wrote Focused and Fearless, as an introduction to the absorption states of jhāna.
 

In 2006, she began training under the guidance of the supreme Burmese Buddhist meditation Master Pa Auk Sayadaw. In 2011 Catherine authored a second book, Wisdom Wide and Deep, which provides an introduction to the comprehensive practices of samādhi and vipassanā based on her training with Pa Auk Sayadaw and derived from teachings in the early Discourses of the Buddha, Visuddhimagga, and Abhidhamma.
 

Catherine's writings and teaching have contributed to a new and growing field within Theravāda Buddhism—introducing the traditional trainings of jhāna and insight meditation (vipassanā) to Western lay practitioners. More

A Human-DEVA speaks (video)

Dev, Kalyani, Amber Larson, Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly; devi "crystal child" Jessica Schab via Bill Ryan, Kerry Cassidy (support@projectcamelot.org, Project Camelot, Dec. 2008)

(ProjectCamelot.org) "A Crystal Child Speaks Out," Sedona, Arizona, 2008. Wisdom Quarterly contacts many Earth "devas" or deva-like beings like this.

 

The akasha-deva Semjase

Project Camelot (PC) met Jessica Schab at the NEXUS Conference in Australia in October 2008. She was in tears at the end of PC presentation and said that she had to talk. A young Australian had seen her YouTube post and sponsored her trip from Vancouver, B.C. to Brisbane, Australia.

Realizing that it might be interesting and valuable to many, PC interviewed her as a "crystal child," a witness representing a new and very awakened generation. Like others (indigo children, starseeds, etc.) she is well informed, deeply concerned about world events, and very aware of the need for humankind to grow spiritually in order to transcend the problems we face together.

 

Lilou Mace follows up with Jessica Schab in 2011

Lilou Mace's Juicy Living Tour goes to Toronto, Canada in August 2011 and talks to Schab. "Soul archeology" is going inside to find our beautiful treasures of truth to live off of the abundance of our joy (like the luminous beings in the Ābhassara deva worlds, described by the Buddha, who feed on delight). We do what we love and live free because truth-wealth frees us. Even as the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming. If we tell the truth, we don't have to remember anything. We have immortal longings. (She interviewed and posted her talk with government time traveler Andrew Basiago, future US president, prior to his first appearance on Coast to Coast. See below).

 

Earth-deva Jessica Schab, (JessicaMystic.com)

In this 50-minute video, she speaks openly and emotionally about her personal journey, her family, and some of the bewildering other-dimensional, extraterrestrial encounters she has experienced.

Her weaknesses are her dyslexia and that she has not yet fully integrated her many experiences and perceptions. 

Human-deva Jessica Schab, crystal child

Her strengths are her openness and her determination to bring a message of unity to those who can hear it from her. She sees herself as a newly arrived teacher and messenger.
 
Like most of us she still has a long way to go in her journey, with much to learn. But this is why most of us are here. Many of us choose to help one others as best we can.

What Buddhism Offers Science (Dalai Lama)
Mixing Buddhism and Neuroscience to Understand Human Consciousness
OCT/NOV 2005 issue of Seed magazine

The experience of consciousness is entirely subjective. The joy of meeting someone you love, the sadness of losing a close friend, the richness of a vivid dream, the serenity of a walk through a garden on a spring day, the total absorption of a deep meditative state—these things and others like them constitute the reality of human experience. And all of these experiences—from the most mundane to the most elevated—have a certain coherence and, at the same time, a high degree of privacy, which means that they always exist from a particular point of view.

Buddhist Meditation and the Brain (Derek Ellerman)
A Neural Basis for Mystical Insight

Ellerman presents a theoretical model for understanding Buddhist meditation and experience based on neurobiology. Elaborating on the biological basis of the brain-mind, he provides a theory for consciousness and higher-order processing based on neurological function. From this foundation he examines the hypotheses of neurological correlates to Buddhist meditation to arrive at a clearer understanding of the nature and origin of Buddhist insight.

This is Your Brain on Buddha Erik Davis

Celebrated neuro-thinkers like Daniel Dennett and Paul and Patricia Churchland are reluctant to give the "inside" of awareness or experience much explanatory weight, insisting that objective accounts of consciousness are far superior if you want to understand how the mind actually works. Such thinkers argue that subjectivity may have an undeniable intuitive appeal, but our own experience is an unreliable source of information, a morass of illusions and myths that cloud the quest to describe reality. Yet in his 1991 book The Embodied Mind, co-written with Evan Thompson and Eleanor Rosch, the celebrated neuroscientist... More >>
