Suzanne Massee
‘Clarity’ was written from my own discovery, and strong asking about the presence of this unknown, unseen part of us. This occurred when a voice a minute before my accident told me there was going to be an accident. Where did this come from? I started to question I wanted answers, there is something greater here than anyone has the wherewith all of understanding. This near death experience put me onto the solid road of the opening up to the inner consciousness. I experienced firsthand visions, voices, and outside forces of relayed messages, and this deep all-knowing. I always had this deep residing knowing that the god that was being projected and portrayed was not what I thought of god, I always knew there was a greater aspect to what we were being told, how can there be an underlining god, when in the non-physical realm I receive clear visions of past life great mentors, and masters giving signs and indications. We all have access to these masters, these masters are prompting impulses, these impulses flow to you, it is whether you are in resistance to the impulses, or you are going with the flow of those impulses.

Back to Basics - Suzanne Massee
Dedicated to the Universe
May we acquire a wealth of knowledge and love of what Mother Nature has provided in abundance around our universe.
May the sleeping inner consciousness, your very own all-knowing of the spirit within, be awakened to concentration of thought, and give birth to reality - a reality that needs no energy: you are the energy.
It awakens the greatest teacher of all: The Self
.

Introduction
I have been interested in cooking and herbalism from an early age.
To prepare simple foods with little effort is a culinary delight that need not involve any great time or expense - you certainly do not need to slave in the kitchen to produce outstanding dishes.
I once owned a restaurant which, when it had just opened, was entered into the Montana Wine and Food Challenge; it became the overall winner for the Nelson, Marlborough, and West Coast region! As well, I have creat ed and produced preserves throughout New Zealand.
Food is an enjoyable basis for interaction when shared with friends; it's good to share knowledge about what is grown and produced in our own space.
I have accumulated years of recipes and knowledge that I want to see passed on to our children and children's children before all this knowledge is lost. Daily we watch the global advance of commercial packet foods, fast food outlets ... even household cleaners!
I find it extremely sad to see so much packet food being consumed with so little knowledge of what is being ingested and - eventually - washed down into our Planet Earth. Think of the savings that could be achieved by going Back to Basics
. Not only this: think about what you are consuming.
I have incorporated fun confectionery food that can be made with children, for them to enjoy, like candy-coated popcorn or homemade chocolate .
Most recipes are easily made so all the family can partake; some of the recipes are good for away-from-home students on a budget.
I love to cook with natural ingredients that are grown in abundance around Mother Earth, together with our very own herbs and weeds.
Herbs are a natural flavoursome ingredient, which grow in pots or can be purchased dry. I implore you all to grow your own herbs; there is noth¬ ing nicer than adding them to your salads and stocks to give them their own natural character, rather than some salt-infused flavour from the supermarket.
If you have a larger garden leave some plants to go to seed. Either gather and save the seeds or just let them lie where they fall; they'll germinate next spring.
I have incorporated a list of culinary herbs to help guide you in your herb use. I have also added a list of my favourite weeds; these probably grow in abundance in your garden, too. We call these plants weeds, but do remember they reproduce in abundance and grow pest-free year in and year out. I implore you to think about it: the weeds you are getting rid of may very well have more minerals and vitamins than green vegetables bought at a grocer. My list contains a few of my favourite weeds, for consumption and for medicinal use.
Culinary Herbs and uses
What could be more natural than to go out into the garden and pick nature's own flavours? There is nothing more satisfying than adding these ingredients to the pot: the natural vitamins and minerals clean the soul, and their aromas fill the air.
Due to the dominance of the supermarket, and easily-obtained prescription medicines, a wealth of knowledge has been lost - however we are now seeing new attitudes evolving. We are becoming more aware of what we are ingesting ; natural medicines and foods are being rediscovered. These plants do not take up much room and can grow in pots, are very pest -resistant, and
