Raw Foods & THE MATRIX (for everyone)

[Guest guest]

Kay C here..

 

I am observing all the conflicting attitudes and opinions concerning

different styles of eating, different foods etc The message I am

receiving is that " our " raw-lifestyle " world " is none different from

the conflicting opinions and ideas " out there " .

 

There is the garlic thing,

The buckwheat drama,

The Banana dilemma,

The seaweed scenario,

.... One gets the picture? ..

 

I have a fascination and passion for studying Metaphysics;

Occasionally I dip into conspiracy theories because this topic is my

brother's interest.

On Sunday we watched an up-date with David Icke's theory on the

Matrix (Re:The movie) which is in keeping with many-many teachings;

Some of which I have already experienced Elchanan presenting (Helping

us to use our OWN minds to make decisions)

 

The World as we see it is but an illusion, yet we get very caught up

in what we see " out there " . I get frustrated that I know this but

also get caught up in it!

Nothing happens " out there " until it first happens in the imaginary

world of our consciousness and since we are all ONE energy we can

easily pick up on each other's imagination without even realising it.

There are no problems unless we create a problem but the mind loves

to get it's " teeth " into problems because it is a problem solver!

I am no exception to labelling things " good " or " bad " ; But really

these labels are relative to explain creation. To experience joy one

must know pain or one would not know what joy is. Dark-light, Good-

bad etc.. Not to mention what we call " time " !

 

It is a good idea to accept that everything just IS. Accept

everything as it's place in the world.

The medical profession as an institution is a creation in itself; And

those with a passion to work in that field are God re-creating

themselves in that field, as much as the herbalist or crystal healing

practitioner.

 

What seems to be the problem is that we have generally been

hypnotised by our parents, teachers, government etc and are now

finding it a hard deal to un-learn and re-learn. We have good

intentions - YES; But in carrying those intentions through, we come

up with resistance from the previously programmed mind.

 

It is a good idea to observe yourself and everything around you. Make

note of what is going on. To watch yourself thinking - quite

literally.

 

I have caught myself up in emotional grief over everything I allowed

myself to be " hypnotised " with previously. It is not so much my

dwelling in the past, but that I am un-happy with what I see before

in the present - and therefore making the " mistake " of looking into

the future for " hope " or the past to further work out what

went " wrong " .

Reading all this talk about 'bad' and 'good' foods is adding to my

complete and utter hopeless depression with myself and the world! It

doesn't seem there is anything " good " left to eat?! - I feel devoid

of all joy in eating .

- That is for me to figure out - to let go of;

 

But in the meantime I would like to suggest that every time you

question a food as to its quality/toxicity/nutrient value or benefit

then please lighten up and accept that ALL things are there AS they

ARE. Nobody is the authority on it. Anyone can find something good or

bad with a food if it isn't eaten moderately.

 

I have recently simplified my life greatly. Elchanan pointed out that

I possibly use E3-live algae as a " drug " to fix a " problem " I have

created. In desperation to simplify my life and find a way " out "

(forward) I re-programmed my mind to believe I didn't need the algae

anymore and have instantly gone off the taste. I mean, I really liked

the taste the day before!!

This proved the hypnotism theory..

 

Some time ago David Wolfe made some sweeping claims about hybrid

fruits. Gabriel Cousens and Brian Clement on the " no fruit " healing

Green diet. I literally programmed myself to believe I needed a ton

of greens and that bananas were to be consumed 'gingerly'.

Whilst on the other hand, I understand that seaweed like nori is not

a food especially recommended by the natural hygiene movement; but

since I like it - I am therefore inclined to eat it occasionally

until it no longer suits me - for whatever reason. I wouldn't touch a

Nut however, my body gives strong signals that these are not food for

me. In fact my intuition takes me completely away from oranges also -

a fruit I usually love to consume. This is probably a temporary

measure.

What I am saying is:

 

WE NEED TO LEARN TO DISCERN BETWEEN WHAT WE HAVE PROGRAMED OURSELVES

TO BELIEVE AND WHAT SERVES A PURPOSE IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT.

 

Less than " healthful " choices serve some purpose even if it is an

inappropriate method to deal with stress. By observing our actions

instead of judging them we can make significant and purposeful

changes.

 

Each one of us will find our own way according to what we are

expressing at any given time. If everything is done consciously then

you are winning in being the master of your own destiny; instead of

the hypnotic programming of someone else's such as that which is

heard through the media.

 

A friend of mine loves raw chocolate. Yesterday I presented him with

two articles; one by David Wolfe who promotes its benefits and one

from The Natural Hygiene movement who teaches about its toxicity.

This friend immediately scoffed at the natural Hygiene theory because

(most likely) it does not justify he carry on eating it - But that is

OK - For HIM.

 

There is no point to life except the point we make; only sometimes

by exploring what we are not, do we find out who we really are.

None of us can go " wrong " because the destination will be the same.

 

Let us embrace each step that we take in creating our own destiny at

no expense to anyone else. I am deeply saddened by all the obsession

and hype created around food - Most of all my own. It takes all the

joy out of eating.

I could easily allow myself to become more confused and depressed by

participating in this group too frequently!

I believe I know people in the street who are more at peace with

eating a " regular " (mixed) diet than those of us to have analysed

every food to the degree of creating a problem. Are we any different

to other institutions or schools of thought?

Hi, Kay, your whole post was beautifully stated! I understand your expressed

sadness and frustration; it is so easy to get caught up in almost assigning a

" moral " value to foods, right and wrong, etc., it can get pretty distressing. It

reminds me of a statement I've heard since I was little--it's not what goes into

a person that is the problem, but what comes out of a person, from the heart,

that can cause true damage.

 

I am getting to the point where I just try to do what is optimal for me, what

seems to be working for my body. No matter what is going on with the fruit and

vegetable world, if I am for fresh, raw, organic (when possible) produce, I am

certainly doing my body a whole lot more good than in my SAD days. And I

resonate with your statement about people living in a state of peace in a mixed

diet compared wtih those who agonize over every bite that goes into their mouths

(been there!)--there are other ways of making ourselves unwell in addition to

the food we eat. We need to relax and enjoy the goodness that is all around us;

it makes us better able to deal with the things that may not be so good.

 

Peace,

Valerie

Hi Kay

I'm new here but loved your post. I agree with just about everything

you said. I also don't like feeling concerned whether what I'm getting

ready to put in my mouth is going to help me or harm me. Although I just

feel better eating live foods as much as I can. I think we're all on

our own journey but can learn from each other. I have a problem also

with putting too much meaning in what everyone says and therefore afraid

to eat anything. I was asking myself the same thing yesterday. Why do we

have to eat anyway? Why bother? Luckly while listening to my

heart/Bobo/intuitiveness crying for meaning to all this I was drawn to a

book at the health food store called Angel Foods by Cherie Soria. It is

so beautifully written and gave me inspiration again to love and bless

my food and experience a spiritual connection to the food.

Here is a wonderful paragraph from the book:

Just imagine.every time you open the refrigerator or dip into the fruit

bowl or harvest your sprouts, you feel immensely grateful for these

edibles blessings. When preparing a meal, you infuse the foods you've

chosen with Divine love and simultaneously feel the outpouring of love

from each ingredient as you handle it. You feel a profound sense of

appreciation and gratitude for the foods. When you do this, you may

begin to experience a spiritual connection to the food, a feeling of

being blessed by simply being in the moment. Even the most menial tasks

can become sacred acts when one's conscious awareness is tuned to love.

One more sentence from the book:

Remember that what you eat is important, but what you think about what

you eat is qually important. So whatever you eat, bless it, enjoy it,

and know that it is serving your highest interest. If you can't believe

that, perhaps you don't want it after all.

 

Thanks for writing a such a good letter. I have more to think about. My

thought is when trying to figure something out, is to plan on coming out

on top, feeling positive and in charge of my own decisions of how I'm

going to experience and interpret what I hear, and learn.
