So all this diet stuff would presumably be for the benefit of the mind's acceptance of spirit. It seems almost silly to follow a diet or to follow any technique for that matter, without the conscious intention of having it somehow 'evolve' the mind (shed light on something new through the experience).
So, through these diets and lifestyle techniques, we evolve our mind and our body follows physiologically? Or was that not what you were referring to?
Eventually, we tend to pick those things that we perceive are helpful. These things simply tend to offer the things (disciplines, ideologies, nutrients, etc) that we lack or that serve to balance other distortions we've created. When they work for us, or we think they've changed us for the better, we tend to promote them with others as a beneficial lifestyle choice.
