Is healthy eating necessary with LoA/IM?

[torilink]

I eat all types of foods, whatever I feel like having. I'll eat veggies & fruit for days and days, mostly raw - then I'll feel like grilling shrimp or steak and having a huge potato -

For me it isn't about what I put into my mouth but what I believe to be true about what I'm eating. I've switched to organic grass fed milk because I had heard too many times about pus & hormones in milk and internalized that belief, so until I release that belief - Im sticking with organic milk!!

Maybe just take a second before eating whatever it is you choose to eat and "Bless" it. Just intend that it will aid in your well being.

I'm not advocating any particular diet here, but I would like to offer some "food" for "thought".

When you go to sleep at night, you experience a reality rife with symbols. This is a commonly accepted tenet of dreaming -- the idea that thoughts disguise or dress themselves in observable form. What is less commonly accepted, yet in my opinion is true, is that the waking reality we experience (aka the "real" world, *cough* *cough*) is also wholly composed of symbols as well. For example, colors are symbols. Shapes are symbols. Numbers are symbols. Words are symbols. What if all tangible form is a symbol for an intangible thought?

Now, in regards to the ability to intentionally manifest. What is involved with this? When we utilize intent to create experience we are giving form to thought. It starts out as intangible and evolves to the point where it gains specificity. This is the point when the intangible crosses the threshold separating it from the tangible world. It then becomes a physical symbol for its more intangible aspect, or thought form.

So in light of this idea, you could consider all physical things -- including food -- as thought. And so, this begs the question:

What symbols are you ingesting? What thoughts are you symbolically taking into your being? Does it matter? Is there a racial, cultural, or universal hierarchy to these symbols? Does the consciousness of animal flesh have an adverse or beneficial effect on the consciousness of your body's flesh?

You tell me.

That's an interesting proposition.

I had written an article on my blog about diet making people poor. Like little Debbie snacks are cheap and readily available, but food that is nutritious is more expensive and not as easy to find. A pack of cigarettes to a poor person
is essentially a daily flat tax. In the ghetto, gas stations will bump up the price of Newports because it's what most people in the ghetto smoke.

The really insidious example is of hormones in government food that make young girls develop quicker, which leads them to get pregnant at a younger age and creating the cycle of poverty that they find themselves in. The lack of nutrients in food could also create chemical imbalances leading to more violence and depression or the inability to focus and process information correctly, all of which adds to the impoverished environment people live in.

I was staying in a homeless shelter a couple years back and everyday they offered what they called 'juice' which was really kool-aid. I saw many people add half a cup of raw sugar to their juice. I couldn't help but draw a correlation between bad diet and homelessness.

This is an over-simplification of what you are saying, but if you are consuming love, you will produce love. If you are consuming hate, you would produce hate. If you are consuming wealth, you produce wealth. Etc, etc.

Garbage in, garbage out, so to speak.
