Thanking of the Care of our Food
Date: 17 December, Saturday
Time: 10AM EST, 3PM London, 11PM Beijing, 2am (following day) Sydney
Location: Chatroom 2 - the Lounge

Theme: At the end of the day, what we choose to eat - and how we eat it - is something that is a personal reflection on how we are treating and viewing ourselves. Sure, these things have economic and cultural impacts as well - we vote with our wallet, one by one - but as for our actual relationship to food, these things will bear fruit in some way or another. How we relate externally reflects how we choose to relate internally.
So we can appreciate what Ra offered up in relation to Don's question here:
and Ra's thoughts on the matter.
so how we respect our food (gratitude, interest, honoring) is how we are treating something that will become part of the fibred manifestation of our physical beingness.
And we can acknowledge that Interaction.
Namaste.

So we can appreciate what Ra offered up in relation to Don's question here:
Quote:40.14 Questioner: In dietary matters, what would be the foods that one would include and what would be the foods that one would exclude in a general way for the most or the greatest care of one’s bodily complex?
and Ra's thoughts on the matter.
Quote:Ra: I am Ra.
Firstly, we underline and emphasize that this information is not to be understood literally but as a link or psychological nudge for the body and the mind and spirit.
Thus it is the care and respect for the self that is the true thing of importance.
In this light we may iterate the basic information given for this instrument’s diet. The vegetables, the fruits, the grains, and to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism, the animal products. These are those substances showing respect for the self.
In addition, though this has not been mentioned, for this instrument is not in need of purification, those entities in need of purging the self of a poison thought-form or emotion complex do well to take care in following a program of careful fasting until the destructive thought-form has been purged analogously with the by-products of ridding the physical vehicle of excess material.
Again you see the value not to the body complex but used as a link for the mind and spirit. Thus self reveals self to self.
so how we respect our food (gratitude, interest, honoring) is how we are treating something that will become part of the fibred manifestation of our physical beingness.
And we can acknowledge that Interaction.
Namaste.
