The idea that we need to follow any set of rules, exclude certain foods or eat things we don’t like in order to attain a certain weight creates a battle between us and our bodies. The human body is made up of approximately 75 to 100 trillion cells, and each one of them has a purpose which is to maintain balance of the organism.
In this way, each person knows down to the cellular level which foods are perfect for them at any given time. However, most of us are addicted to thoughts that create strong emotions aka stress, and through those emotions, we crave foods that harm our health.
Uncomfortable or stressful emotions are a major strain on the body. When the mind is stressed, it causes the glands to excrete excess hormones, which puts the body in a toxic state. Hormonal toxicity blocks physical and energetic passageways which are the conduits for our intercellular communication and delivery of vital nutrients to all areas of the body.
When in an emotional state, I have found it helpful to eat raw meat or eggs with raw fat such as butter. Raw meat and fat are easily digested and integrated by the body, and leave little or no toxic residue. Moreover, while raw meat helps the body to build strength in order to better handle stress, raw eggs and animal fat help to eliminate toxins from the body.
However, when our emotions are in balance, there is no need to think about which foods are most suitable for us because we desire that which supports optimal health on all levels – body, mind and being. Emotional balance is the cure for excess weight and all physical illness.
Through awareness we can achieve and maintain this balance. Please see the articles on this website, and specifically those linked below to discover how to harness the power within to create your radiant body.
Many people following religious belief systems live in fear of being deceived by people who hold truths that are different from what they have been taught, or what their group believes. Here is a rather lengthy, but interesting discussion I had with some devout Christians on this subject:
Thank you for posting such a rich topic for discussion!
Both truth and untruth are only perceptions of the mind. But our spirit is not of the mind – our spirit is unified with the Divine at a level where mind does not exist.
Through our minds we can become so attached to OUR truth that we fear truth from another perspective. But when we are consolidated with our own truth, we can accept all others because understanding one another cannot harm or distort our truth
Conversely, when we have adopted the truth of another person or group, our truth is a fragile belief – not truth of understanding. This is the basis of fear, and fear is the ultimate illusion.
Most religious followers believe that some of their fellow humans are going to a “hell” that is separate from this world. This creates major conflict in the mind which manifests as conflict in our lives and in the world.
When these self limiting beliefs are confronted with the truth, the followers tend to become fearful and perceive themselves as being victimized by the one exposing that which is limiting them. Each person has the built-in ability to work through religious fear and self-victimization, but the first step is directing ones own awareness upon the beliefs that are causing them struggle.
Below is a transcript of one of my recent experiences with devout Christians on Facebook. I have taken out all profile pictures and last names (except mine) in order to protect the identity of those who contributed.
Colin…. If you haven’t committed your life to Christ I strongly recommend it. Not only does it positively impact your eternal destination but it drastically improves your daily life as well. He does not promise to make it easier, per say, but knowing Him and experiencing His grace will help ease your mind, lighten your load and lessen your burden. AMEN!
A stable mind IS an easy life. The idea that we have a heavy load or a burden is only a matter is perspective. It’s good to hear that your perspective is being directed toward peace of mind – which is the birthright of every person. ♥
Our desires do not need to be controlled. It’s only our attachment to them that causes mental anguish and prevents us from achieving a sense of fulfillment in life.
When we are attached to our desires, we project an energy of control. Actions that are born out of a perceived need to control outcomes are far less efficient at creating the lives we want than those that are born from inspiration and joyful presence in the moment.
While its easy to notice what would feel good NOW, we really have no idea what is best for us in the future. Being unattached means that we accept our desires, we release control, and we trust in our real Self to create those experiences that serve our best interest.
When we FEEL the energy of our desires now, we are creating our experiences based on that feeling. Feel joyful about your desires, and command more joy as your life unfolds in a miraculous way.
Everything is always the perfect manifestation of our focus up to this point in time. Of course perfection does not mean everything is to our liking.
When we experience something that causes us to want improvement, that is a wonderful thing because a shift in our focus brings that improvement into reality. On the other hand, by focusing on what does not please us, we create more undesirable reality.
Economically, if we decide that the whole system or certain sectors are crashing, no matter how hard we work, we create that reality. Conversely, if we focus on a strong and stable economy, we create that reality – with seemingly little effort.
In relationships, if we mostly focus on the things that need to be “fixed” about a person – our reality will include more things about people that we feel the need to fix.
While no reality can be more perfect than another, we do have the power to create that perfection into alignment with our desires. When we practice with belief in the power of joyful focus, our actions naturally bring about a more desirable reality.
I’ve heard or this line several times throughout my lifetime: “Here’s to you and here’s to me, and I hope we never disagree. But, if that should ever be, to HELL with you, here’s to ME!”
[Everyone is just a conscious part of the same energy that creates everything. Separation is an illusion. If you have not yet been exposed to this concept, please Click Here]
Saying “to HELL with YOU” is the same saying to “HELL with ME”!! I would change it to “if we ever part ways, I will send you LOVE and ask that YOU do the same for ME”…but that wouldn’t be as funny!
The original line is great because it exposes a huge source of human suffering – the illusion that we are separate from everything else. This view of self is the number one reason for tumultuous relationships, whether those relationships are between two people or two countries.
If we disagree and even part ways with people while still loving ourselves and everyone else, we will find peace of mind and make a difference toward a more peaceful world.
Our reality consists of polarities – everything contains its opposite. But we are more than mere passengers on the ride of life. Whether we know it or not, we are creating our reality with every thought.
When we pay attention to things in our lives that provoke extreme emotion, we attract more extremes in our lives. By habitually shifting ourattention to those things in our lives that evoke joy, and toward our perspectives for creating more joy, we can control our emotions and thereby diffuse the extremes in our minds and in our lives.
I am part of the real God. Not like those tyrant gods invented by human mind, who rule people and demand to be worshiped.
We are all part of both the creator and the creation – which are always evolving. Loving everything is the form of worship that directs all creativity toward an increasingly joyful reality.
The gifts of insight and understanding (which we give to ourselves) allow us to live from our souls. Without them, we simply become possessed by the rational mind.
Its true that when we live from the heart, our lives and our world continue to improve. But when we live from the head, we do not suffer a wrath from an external oppressor.
We simply attract experiences that match our frequency. The closer we are to being ourselves, the better our lives become.
If reading or discussing these things feels uncomfortable, there is something in our belief system not making sense -which could cause physical and emotional blockages.
Only through exposure to our own consciousness can we begin to unravel the self created by mind, and allow our true selves to be preeminent. It doesn’t matter whether we give God a persona or not.
It’s more important that our beliefs are strong and flexible enough to be exposed and challenged regularly.
Two little boys from the neighborhood were playing in our backyard with my sons yesterday, when Blaze asked me to make homemade ice cream. We took a vote between strawberry and chocolate – with chocolate being the winner.
To my kids, homemade ice cream is just normal, but the neighbor kids were very curious. They took careful note of the ingredients: eggs, honey, cacao powder and cream – all of which were raw/unheated/uncooked.
They asked if those ingredients were used to make the ice cream they eat at home. I told them probably not, but I assured them that my ice cream would taste the same or better than what they are used to.
Everyone loved the end result, and the ice cream was incredibly tasty if I do say so myself! I shared the health benefits of eating my version of raw ice cream, and they shared about a time they had “healthy” pizza by using broccoli as a topping – and how much they disliked it.
I agreed that broccoli is not something that goes well with pizza, and I also shared that using it as a topping imparts little or no health benefits. They were also relieved to know that being healthy and staying fit does not involve eating anything we don’t enjoy.

@wklokow Yes! Scholars continue to misinterpret religious texts, and people are following like sheep to slaughter. 2010/03/03
has a rich appetite for understanding. I prefer to receive education through apprenticeship and practice instead of doctrine and dogma. 2010/03/03
is not impressed by degrees.Scholars have knowledge of taught information, but unless the Self has been attained, there is no understanding. 2010/03/02
