Healthy Food

Whole foods provide the energy and nutrients you need to maintain health. Required nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water in abundance. Healthy eating isn't hard in fact, but it's a skill that must be learned. The key to nutritional science is to eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products. Further, rehydrate with lots of alkaline, ionized mineral water, and limit your intake of salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fat, and trans fat in your diet. The high water and fiber content in most fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat.

Start the morning by skipping high-sugar, processed cereals, and replace the eggs and some of the cheese in your omelet with vegetables. Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado. Instead of a high-calorie snack, such as chips and dip, try baby carrots with hummus, or crunching on a fresh apple.

Soft drinks including soda and energy drinks are a huge source of calories in many poor diets. One can of soda contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories, so a few soft drinks can quickly bloat your daily calorie intake. Switching to diet soda isn't the answer either. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice.

Instruction

Cleanse the gates, the lining of the intestines, surface the lungs, lining of the liver, coatings form and block, and assimilation. Thereafter, the body begins to consume itself, in a hierarchical, prioritized order.

To maintain homeostasis requires an understanding of what the body needs to build with, and constituent nature of the organism, including emotional, vibrational, harmonic, and less-explored systems.

Advanced foods: meditation, selfless acts of love and service, eating energy of others, direct absorbtions of heat, light, aether, sound, physical vibraton, shape energies.

Eating the wrong foodstuffs, progress is slower, or even not-at-all, even back-sliding, slipping back, from whence you came. Would you go forward, then go forward, hear and obey. No more rice, and no noodles, and no fried foods of any kind. If you would eat prepared food, let it only be boiled in water, and even then, why eat something that must be boiled in order to be palate-able, or plate-able. Already showing itself to be incorrect. Eat only uncooked foods and not in combination, eat to fill the tank, and nothing more. Ever simpler and simpler, both in the intake of food, and all else.

FOOD, DIET

Take care to adopt a respectful attitude when eating, maintaining attention on the the food, the posture, the breathing, the mind, and every moment passing. Eat the food one morsel after the other, without rejecting any that was given, respecting the sacrifice of the benefactor. Eat one meal at a sitting, and don't change your mind after having finished your meal. Don't overeat, and be lazy. Don't ask for food of superior quality for oneself. Don't visit houses uninvited just before meals. Don't go to eat at another place after having already been invited somewhere. Don't eat at the same spot multiple times, taking advantage of good-natured people.

Food is the fuel that supports the body, itself being the vehicle that allows communication from the ethereal nature of the angelic realm to the mundane human realm. Honor the gift of food, and don't accept more than one ration of curry for every three rations of rice. Eat that food which supports your mission and duty, and abstain from more than that, as food weighs down the body if taken in excess. Accept food in proportion to the bowl, without exceeding its inner rim. During the alms collection round, don't part company with those whom one is making rounds. Don't accept food from poor people who show remarkable fervor, without having been invited by them.

Finer food is food that is not coarse, food that has less of the heavier nature and material consciousness, less personal identity. When you eat an animal, that flesh has the nature of the being-ness that gathered that flesh around itself. You are not flesh and bone as think. Open your eyes, you are able to fly, and talk to angels. Why would you trade your birth-rights for a scrap of meat? Raise yourselves up. Choose to eat fine food, and take other steps at the same time.

Starting with diet, a book in itself to be sure, let’s not overlook the obvious; we’re not going to get far on improper fuel. Just try putting some plastic pellets into your car’s gas tank, instead of gasoline. Amazingly, that’s what many people do with their bodies. Some modification of eating habits may or may not be called for, if this book is going to impact your life. Food, as with everything else, is not what it may superficially appear. Just because you can chew something up and manage to swallow it, happy that it tastes good and fills you up, doesn’t make it food. For the moment, I’m referring to what is commonly known as food, plant and animal matter. As my advanced readers may expect, real food is the assimilation of pranic energy in one form or another, literally fire and love, but let’s proceed stepwise.

The physical aspect of the body is the initial bridge, the crossing of which is necessary to allow all further development. Either you are the owner of your body, or it owns you, one or the other. Early on, you are going to need to make a stand against the body, or at least enter into battle. You need to be able to decide whether to feed yourself till you are fat, or starve the body nearly to death’s door. I don’t recommend either radical course, but I am talking about willpower here. No wonder so few people ever realize the wealth of power available to them; they never even make the required effort to muster up some will, and take charge of their own flesh. If you happen to be overweight, that’s no problem because you sure can decide that it’s time to try again, and then try again. Only death can stop you from trying one more time. I’ve heard more excuses than you can think up, so don’t go there. This isn’t a book about diet or dieting, as there are plenty of those. I will cover the barest outline of proper eating, however, with an eye towards energetic reactions of the kundalini ascending. We can also do some damage control, while we are spending time here in the survival center of food, willpower and physical self-image.

By limiting the sheer quantity of food intake, a major hurdle has been overcome. Stories of Christian saints that take frequent fasts are commonplace. For myself, the quickest and surest way to start my sensitivity increasing is to go on a fruit juice fast for three days, with lots of water to flush toxins out of the blood. If I feel especially hungry, I’ll add nuts, such as almonds and peanuts, as well as cucumber and mangos, all pretty light eating. Only if my stomach is throwing a tantrum, really in rebellion, would eggs and rice be called in, and if so, just once a day, in the late morning.

Having eliminating the grosser poisons, such as meats, and all foods ruined by frying in highly-heated oils, the body has at least a fighting chance to begin to assert its guidance. Anybody for some fried chicken? That black cooking oil looks good to drink when you’re finished frying, doesn’t it? Go on, pour yourself a cupful, and set it on the table next to the chicken wings, because it’s all over the meat, soaked in, isn’t it? Want some steak fries with that? Hey, I happen to like both french fries, and fried chicken myself, but if we are going to get serious, there comes a time when you have to take a step back, and look at the chemical composition of the foods that go into the body. It starts on the farm, or used to anyway, and from there we need to take a brief look at the way those foods are processed before we buy them, and finally, the way we prepare the food before eating. I’ll offer a quick survival guide to buying food at your local supermarket, if you don’t happen to be from California, eating self-ground whole grains, and uncooked nuts and fruit from trees in your orchard.

Break the fast, and have a meal in the morning. In some cultures famous for their numbers of centurnarians, folks who live to be 100 years old or more, common wisdom recommends to eat a bit of fruit and whole grain cereal or bread to fuel the body through the morning. They work hard, and use up that fuel, leaving them hungry for a good lunch. As a general rule, 'if it ain’t broke don’t fix it,' and 'if you ain’t hungry, then don’t eat.' Mealtimes are times for meals, not fixed hours of the day.

The eater of food. But what is food? To truly understand is to understand the body, and who truly understands the body, who supports the body, who stands under the body. What body? No-body! So what food goes into nobody? Nothing and everything, but say it clearly, because one thing and its opposite is no-thing to those without ears. Food is the stuff that the body is made out of. If you would have a material body then consume material food. If you would change the body, then change your food. Discover a-new what is food, and you discover what is the body. Not just fire and love, specious words without guidance, but a step by step progression of increasing complexity and beauty, appreciating food, the driving force, the motivator. The chooser, the decider, the master of food, the food-master. Self-mastery, the choosing of correct inputs for the body.

Surely it begins with the food that you eat, the substances that you're putting into the body, the breath you take, the pollution in your mind, in your air, in the water, in the very food that you would eat.

The physical aspect of the body is the initial bridge, the crossing of which is necessary to allow all further development. Either you are the owner of your body, or it owns you, one or the other. Early on, you are going to need to make a stand against the body, or at least enter into battle.

Nutrition

Superfoods and supergrasses can drastically improve our energy, immune systems, emotions, and overall health. They’re infused with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Barley grass, Chlorella, Alfalfa herb, Wheatgrass, Moringa (drumstick/horseradish tree) and Spirulina. Nutrient-filled vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, kale, Swiss chard, collard greens, turnip greens, spinach, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, green tea, eggs, turmeric, garlic, ginger, lentils, peas, peanuts, alfalfa, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, hemp seeds, kefir, yogurt, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and seaweed.

In order to obtain a higher level of immunity and improved health, it's necessary to stop eating processed, refined foods and start eating whole, unprocessed raw-as-possible vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, sea plants (seaweed), a small amount of fish life if you want animal protein, and lots of pure, clean water.

If you try to change everything about your diet all at once, you won't stick with it. Go slow. Change one item at a time and get accustomed to the healthier alternative before tackling another.

Many soft drinks contain refined sugar or artifical sweeteners, which may lower your body's immunity for several hours. Another problem with soft drinks is phosphorus that may be contained in them. Large amounts of phosphorous are bad for the body because they may combine with other minerals (like Calcium) and tie them up for eventual excretion. Calcium is a mineral that your body needs in large amounts in your bloodstream for daily use. If phosphorus removes calcium from the blood stream, where does the body get the calcium it needs? It may delete stores from teeth and bones. (Also it is good to avoid excess animal protein).

We are multi-dimensional beings, beyond human comprehension. In as much as we cannot perceive what we are, we are just guessing when it comes to what we eat, and what we need to maintain the body. We see that it is incorrect, by virtue of premature aging and death.

You are choosing better food-stuffs certainly, but again too heavy, and too much food. Eat less and less food. Simple as that.

Eating the wrong foodstuffs, progress is slower, or even not-at-all, back-sliding, back-tracking, slipping back from whence you came. Would you go forward, then go forward, hear and obey.

No flour, bread, noodles, and no fried foods of any kind. Consider the merits of various grains, such as wheat, rye, barley, corn, oats, etc, and beans. And what of eggs and cheese? Protein in what form? If you would eat prepared food, let it only be boiled in water, and even then, why eat something that must be boiled in order to be palate-able, or plate-able. Already showing itself to be incorrect.

Eat only uncooked foods and not in combination, eat to fill the tank, and nothing more. Ever simpler and simpler, both in the intake of food, and all else.

Stop taking your meals with others, in that you are influenced by their choices, or get yourself into hot water so to speak, by coming up against their limitations, thus influencing your own choice of not only what to eat, but how much to eat, and enduring their continued ridicule.

Eat only when hungry. Eat slowly, enjoying your moments. Stop eating before completely full, do not stuff yourself, trying to feel satiated, trying to feel safe, full and complete.

Cooking isn't wrong, but there are assumptions being made (that are likely incorrect) - in combining foods, we need to learn & understand what each food is individually, and the effect and function that intake of the single food is having on the body. Then, when daring to combine two or more foods, we need to add in the combinative effect, thus creating a mixture to digested and absorb, if possible

Some of what we call 'Food,' what appears to be food, what we think of as food, what we choose as food, what we put into our mouth as 'food' - builds, helps, powers the body, and is indeed GIVEN as Food.

Food that clogs, ruins, rots, decays, invited diaster - Poison

Germany's 90 year old Dr Joanna Budwig, was nominated 6 times for the Nobel Prize. After 30 years of research, she has found that 2 simple food items: 1. Flax Seed Oil (cold-pressed, unprocessed) and 2. Low Fat Cottage Cheese will cure or prevent many forms of cancers and a long list of other degenerative disease including cardiovascular diseases and skin diseases. Unprocessed flax seed oil provides 2 essential fatty acids seriously deficient in the standard American diet: Linolenic and Linoleic acids. These two unsaturated fatty acids have 3 high-energy double bonds (pi-electrons) in their outer electron shells. These fatty acids affect the membranes of animal cells and permit a thousand-fold increase in oxygen transport and assimilation.

By substantially increasing the oxidation potential within the cell, Dr Budwig proved what her German predecessor, Dr Otto Warburg, had discovered 30 years earlier: cancer cells cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment. With sulfur-rich protein and calcium provided by the cottage cheese, all the elements are in place for membrane repair and increased energy transfer. To recover from cancer, the Budwig Diet needs to be taken in conjunction with a strict, health-promoting diet free of processed, devitalized foods, related to 'Gerson Therapy.'

Eat fermented foods with probiotic bacteria that make vitamin B12, such as miso, kimchi, sauerkraut, cultured vegetables, cabbage rejuvelac, vegan curds, coconut kefir, probiotic drinks, nutritional yeast, tempeh, tamari and natto. Make sure the ingredients that go into these preparations remain raw and organic as far as possible, so that the bacteria in them are still alive.

PROCESSED FOOD

Many additives, stabilizers, preservatives, in almost all packaged foods, like my muesli, canned tuna fish, canned olives, pesto. Hormones and antibiotics in meats, chicken, and farmed fish. Fluoride in water. Leached plastic in my bottled water. Pesticides on vegetables and fruits. Need solutions to cleanse food and water. And live near mountain or hilltops, outside of large cities, for better air and water.

ALKALINE vs ACIDIC FOODS

Eat foods that maintain an alkaline environment within the body. Don't eat acid-forming foods, and factory-produced processed foods. Eat live foods.

He ordered some Cesium alkalating mixture over the internet designed to increase pH, but it didn't arrive in time, so logic told him that Baking Soda should also work for alkalizing his pH. He decided to use black strap molasses as a "carrier" to get it pulled into the cancer cells. He's still alive and cancer free five years later after his 2008 "Dance with Cancer."
