The Secret Teachings 5/9/18 – Collective Associated Assumptions: Food & Environmental Ego (Wednesday)

FOOD EGO

Too often we identify with jobs, creeds, nationalities, income, social status, the city we are from, sexuality, and even food. Many of us have a food identity whereby we classify ourself as vegan, vegetarian, meat-eater, pescetarian, etc., along with a list of strange associations such as gluten-free, raw, paleo, keto, etc. Then are “diets” like south-beach, weight watchers, Atkins, etc.

There is an unhealthy reliance on the “Appeal to Authority” of placing hope, trust, and well-being, in doctors, pharmaceuticals, dietitians, popular trendy diets, food blogs, etc. Since a nutritionist would not eat something it is implied we should follow their lead as an expert. Even if some of these foods perhaps should be avoided that also doesn’t mean they all should. Articles online tend to suggest the unhealthy nature of processed foods, sugars, fats, salts, calories, and the like, but use images of vegetables for the story.

It’s common to hear that someone is “going on” a diet, as if it is something you have to decide to do. Although we have diets, which are “lifestyles,” we need lifestyles that are “diets.” This misconception makes it difficult to understand what is or is not healthy in the strictest objective sense. Otherwise, without definition, words are redefined, taken out of context, or collectively associated in order to associate something natural with something unhealthy, and those things unnatural with something healthy.

– Defining words –

Food: any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth.

(much of what we consume is not “food”)

Diet: the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.

(eating what is not considered food can become a “diet” and yet what we “go on” is usually a trend that makes us less healthy)

Lifestyle: the way in which a person or group lives.

(the condition we should always be living in relation to “diets” and eating healthy as a habit)

Natural: existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind.

(not all things that are natural are healthy, but industry makes this association to sell unnatural products as superior to those found in nature)

Chemicals: relating to chemistry, or the interactions of substances as studied in chemistry.

(these are found in nature; in food, animals, humans, etc., and are not always the same as the collective label applied to associate biological chemicals in food or the body with industrial poisons)

Organic: produced or involving production without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial agents.

ENVIRONMENTAL EGO

Collectively all health problems are classified by a number of specifications that relate to economics through the profit by drugs or surgery. Many health problems are temporarily suppressed in order to make profit, rather than curing said ailment. This is found in the microcosm of the body.

As per the macrocosm of the entire planet, there are also collective patterns blamed on isolated elements, instead of various elements perhaps being responsible for patterns of nature. Finding the patterns in Earth Changes from cracks splitting Africa in two, volcanic eruptions, sinkholes opening in different areas, unusual earthquakes and enormous mysterious booms, allows for an objective analysis of information without blaming government, Haarp, Cern, or aliens. Instead of immediately concluding that some isolated element was solely responsible for mostly natural phenomenon we should collect these patterns and then follow the data to the most logical conclusion. From these conditions it seems there are massive earth changes occurring, perhaps naturally or perhaps as a result of a mixture of different reasons. Haarp, Cern, government, the military, etc., could be responsible for certain isolated events, but not all, especially considering the lack of serious motivation. Perhaps these elements are being used to prevent some cataclysmic and natural chance which would indicate motive, but likely lack the necessary power to do so, so perhaps they are being carried out in vain. Or these elements could have nothing at all to do with these events. Perhaps solar active, space weather, and mostly natural cycles, are responsible with increased electromagnetic disturbances setting off volcanos, earthquakes, loud booms, sinkholes, and splitting land into two.

Instead of dismissing isolated incidences as anomalies or coincidences, most logically it seems that we should acknowledge a pattern when one exists. This is not to support or assault any belief. Just as with the human body there are conditions created on planet earth as the byproduct of natural, mostly uninfluenced, elements. Being ignorant and frantic of a series of volcanic events and earthquakes is as illogical as being terrified when you burp. Perhaps the planet is just burping or coughing.

Either way the body should be maintained, as with the planet, and yet it seems that those concerned with planet are the least likely to change their lifestyles to make any immediate change; this is also the case with health, as those concerned about the outward appearance of their health and spirituality look externally to authority for answers and labels…. while those choosing to disassociate politics from environment, and take health into their own hands, tend to live a lifestyle conducive to a healthy planet and a healthy body.
