Seth and healthy diets

[Guest guest]

I am new to the list and do not know anything about Seth's channelings, but I

found the last statement very true. In the last couple of months, I have been

following very closely a special diet (no meat, wheat or milk), and feel some

benefits from that. However, it is slowly coming to my awareness that probably

the thoughts we think, and our attitude in general, has a much greater effect on

our health. I haven't yet quite worked out the place of healthy food in our

lifestyle, but it makes sense that our bodies can metabolise some 'poisons' to

an extent, if we are in a positive frame of mind. Yogis, after all, are able to

ingest poison without harm.

 

I'd like to hear other people's impressions on this issue.

turn the most natural earthly ingredients against himself. "

I believe in balance and moderation. I think it's great when a person finds

a diet that suits their particular physiology, which often takes a lot of

trial and error and experimentation, more than following a set diet

prescribed by another person or group. In addition to personal taste

preferences and food allergies are obvious things like the need for adequate

water, steering clear of " fake " foods with no nutritional value whatsoever,

and being a careful consumer when it comes to additives, preservatives, and

possible hormonal and medicinal effects of particular foods. When you have

been diagnosed with a particular metabolic disorder, such as diabetes or

endometriosis, you may need to change your diet to avoid some things and

increase your intake of others. Working with a dietician is useful for that.

 

I simply don't get with fad diets, no matter how wonderful or natural they

look. Most of them have no scientific basis or long term studies as to the

effects of eating a single food for a long time or avoiding a particular

food group altogether. As a person who is in recovery from years of yo-yo

dieting and anorexia, I can see the " loopholes " for people with eating

disorders, who like to control their food; a " miracle diet " can support the

illusion that they are doing something healthy for themselves, when in fact

they are usually screwing up their metabolisms and fluid/electrolyte

balance, not to mention their nutritional status, their kidneys and their

bowels.

 

I agree with you, though, that our attitude has a lot to do with how our

body functions, and hence has a lot to do with how and what it tolerates and

assimilates as far as food and fluids (and medications of any form, no

matter what route they are administered with). Folks with that " modern

illness " of environmental allergy who have enormous problems with just about

everything appear to be having an energetic form of agoraphobia... they just

can't cope with the world around them because of the massive amount of

stimuli they are taking in. That seems to follow what Seth is saying about

rejecting even natural things because of a deepset panic/fear base.

 

There has to be a link between internal locus and assimilation; if there

weren't, there would be no explanation for a person of 16 developing lip

cancer from snuff, while there are people who expire healthy at 90 with a

lip full of the stuff. And the comparisons go on. I believe in trying our

best to do what is healthy diet-wise, but that is not the only key to

healthy nutrition ;-)

 

And yogis, like shamans, prepare themselves in myriad ways for the

occasional practice of consuming poison... it's not something most of us

would want to do as a bar trick ;-)

 

Blessings,

Crow
