" When the sound and wholesome nature of man acts as an entirety, when he feels himself in the world as in a grand, beautiful, worthy and worthwhile whole, when this harmonious comfort affords him a pure, untrammelled delight: then the universe, if it could be sensible of itself, would shout for joy at having attained its goal and wonder at the pinnacle of its own essence...

For what end is served by the expenditure of suns and planets and moons, of stars and milky ways, of comets and nebula, of worlds evolving and passing away, if at last a happy man does not involuntarily rejoice in his own existence?"

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. (1749-1832 AD)

Age 54, after 27 years of macrobiotic and 20 years of anthroposophic living!

December 22, 2004.

Kaare passed from this earth on February 9, 2019. He had been increasingly withdrawing from the physical world, focusing all his attendtion on spiritual aspects of life and life after death.

He missed experiencing the gobal reaction to the COVID Pandemic. While he could have been of great help in life, we have to think that he is doing a greater service on the spiritual plain where he can have a more far-reaching benefit.

He was reworking a book he had began 35 years ago Laughing with Doomsday. It was published in November 2021 and is widely available online or ordered from local bookstores. Informaion for it can be found on on this site, the Emporium page, or from Xlibris Publishing.

As you can observe, this is an old website using outdated programs. Kaare, himself, forgot how to log on as an editor and it's been a struggle to regain access for updates. His first wish was to publish his latest book, Laughing with Doomsday, which took up my efforts until it was published at the end of 2021. He also wanted to keep this website running for use by any interested. He wanted his work to continue to be in the world.

It is important to know these pages contain a tremendous amount of valuable and unique information on many topics.

The intention is to update the format and remove the deadend links. Eventually I want to make his audio and video lectures and cooking class videos avaiable here and add any missing on his U-Tube channel.

He co-wrote a magazine, News from the River, for several yeaars which I want to upload here. This requires a knowledge about website creation and editing which is a daunting exercise.

Please excuse some of the errors that have already been introduced due to that lack of technical understanding. They will be corrected and the site made more presentable over time. Few changes will be made to the content since he was satisfied with it. Bear in mind that some data is from times past but still provide information that can lead the interested reader to search for the latest data.

A note to say additions to the website will be fewsince fundamentally all the information is presented which will allow anyone to start a macrobiotic life on a sound basis. Also I am busy researching the answer to the question "What Is Money" and the fruits of my labors will appear in audio lectures or U-tube videos as they are uploaded.

I was a regular contributor to the "Alternatives"Column of the publication: HEPATITIS Magazine. This was a nationally distributed quarterly out of Houston, Texas. The seventh and last column appeard in the Winter 2004 Issue.

I suggest looking at this page as a personal view of changing your lifestyle. Some observations on the benefits of macrobiotic living.
