In regards to eating meat

[fairyfarmgirl]

Yossarian, I apologize, I seem to have totally dropped the ball there. I can't make anything of what I said. And I have missed very essential parts of your words. I think I should have gone to bed instead of hit that post button...

@Wintersun, we had a family friend who ate one cracker with a slice of cheese per day, and a few spoons of vegetables in the evening. She did cleaning work and was very thin but also very healthy. She had no spiritual aspirations other than going to church on sundays, she just did not like to eat.

I will check out Joachims book. I still like the idea, intuitively it completely resonates, but last time I checked I could not bridge it to reality.

I did one "Jump" to see what would happen. After 3 days without food I wasn't grumpy or weak, but I felt like I was living in a fog. I broke off the experiment because a friend needed someone to carry his furniture up 4 flights of stairs and I had this idea that even if I was not fainting now I should probably not push it. Apart from the second day hunger the experience wasn't very difficult I didn't like the fog though.

A long time ago, when I believed my very existence was an act of violence against creation since I was eating others (plants, and animals) to live I tried to live on spirit alone. This seemed to be the only solution to my young mind.

It is not something for the novice to do. This is a Siddah way. The Siddahs are already in the high 4th D to Low 5th D. I am not a Siddah, yet. According to the Siddahs it is a progression, as the light body becomes lighter there is just less and less interest in eating and more in experiencing the joy an d beauty of existence. I can whole heartedly say that the last time I attempted the no-food diet I almost died for lack of sustenence. It took a long time almost a year... but at the end of the experience I had to choose to eat and live or to die by not eating. Starvation is a slow and painful experience that gradually shuts the body and spirit down so slowly that you do not even realize you are cutting yourself off from life.

It was when I chose to live that I truly began to live life more fully and more integrated into being embodied. This is why we are on this Earth-- to truly experience the physicality of living. The joys of being embodied.

Food is here for our use. I intend to use the food fully as I have come to truly enjoy the beauty of eating and sharing food with others. I see no shame or wrong doing in eating from the earth or even cooking my food. I enjoy some foods cooked quite alot!

All this talk about how potatoes are bad for you. Tell that to the millions of Irish men, women and children who died during the potato famine and engineered genocide in Ireland. I have nothing against the wonderful potato which happens to nourish me quite nicely. Tomatoes (Gasp!) are my favorite food, right from the garden eating like an apple. I am most healthiest when eating fresh tomatoes. So It just depends on the path that is right for the individual.

I will say this, there are very very few Siddahs that are here now. It is not something that just happens because you feel bad about eating food and think that you are wrong for being part of the life cycle on Earth. We are all part of the Earth and her Life Cycle.

If fruit is what you feel best eating and your nails are not breaking and your lips are not cracking and your hair is not falling out (this is your body telling you that you need more nutriments) then by all means eat that fruit diet... The same goes for the other foods.

Also, each human body type is attuned to the enviroment of the genetic hertitage. Those from tropical parts of the world will be able to eat tropical fruits with great regularity. Those of us from Nothern and cold parts of the world will need to eat some sort of protein in order to be healthy... It is in the genetics of the body type.

Think in terms of gasoline cars, diesel cars, electric cars, gas powered cars. The types of fuel are not really interchangeable without extensive conversion and lots of headaches....
