Thinking too much about food...

[sjel]

Well... you could do what Aghori Sadhus do.. they eat dead things.

Wow!!! They are incredible Cainite! A similar thought has passed my own mind... "how would I find the ultimate Love in the darkest place?" Very interesting, I would love to meet a true Aghori Sadhu someday, when I am ready.


As for eating. I have that problem a LOT. In the last two months I had a lot of severe stomachaches - simply because of my own perception of food. Food was feeling like a chore. "I don't want to eat, I want infinite bliss." I think that is a symptom of desiring death a little more. Of desiring the higher states where you don't have to eat.

HOWEVER, eating benefits OTHERS MORE THAN IT BENEFITS YOU. This is what helped to appreciate eating. You are not eating to nourish your own health, you are eating for others' health!

Treat every bite as a gift to others. Every morsel of food that enters your body, it adds a new flavor of existence that was much needed - a perspective on life that was much longed for by those with whom you interact. Even a bad food. ESPECIALLY bad food, in fact. Bad food brings up negative programs that are pent up inside you. A perfectly Self-Realized entity can eat anything and remain unchanged. Therefore, every negative reaction you have to food can be transmuted into Love. The more negative it is, the more positive potential it has.

It might not be easy at first. Don't get mad at yourself for still not enjoying food. But hopefully this seed will plant in your mind and you will start to enjoy food more.
