I think the idea is that everything in awareness is of your creation. We are not the people we think we are, we are in fact all of existence, in a way tricking ourselves into thinking that we are one little part of a larger whole as an individual, when in fact, we are everything. And stuff.
So assuming for the moment that's true, the entire concept of diet is something that you are creating. Maybe even the very fact that food is required for survival, I'm not sure. It's not so much about the ins and outs of which diet you should be eating, it's the premise that eating in itself has any effect whatsoever. Or that food is even real. Or that our bodies are real.
So the bottom line is, this entire discussion is actually, a projection of your understanding of your abilities as a creator, right now, and for whatever reason, this thread was created by you to explore your own creative ability as 'god'.
Or I could say it's all my creation since there is only one consciousness.
I was at the gym the other day and thinking about the same thing "can I just think my body into good shape?" I don't know. I know that I ENJOY the feeling of going to the gym, and in order to do that, I have to accept certain truths about the physical universe, like, my body has muscles and it feels good to exercise.
It's easier to think about if you don't see yourself as separate from anything or anyone. If you can believe that you are literally creating your reality, not just attracting stuff, but literally creating the very planet you're on, then you'd see these threads as conversations you're having with yourself. Then at some point, the nasty ego (da-da-duuum) comes along, and makes us think we are separate, and then all of the sudden things start getting all difficult again.
Know what I'm sayin'?
