Abe: thrive on your food

[Guest guest]

.........from Abraham-Hicks Monterey, California 3-20-01

 

The physical food that you eat is fuel to this physical body. The cells of

your body are asking for the fuel in the same way that your engine wants

fuel for energy....I O W - YOU are an Engine---a combusting engine and as

you utilize the fuel and your body combusts it--then you propel yourself,

LITERALLY.

And so of course there is value in food and you know it because you see no

one surviving without it. Consciousness would continue without food but

this physical body wants food and water....F U E L.

 

We would begin calling it FUEL. The FUEL OF ENERGY. The thing that we

would like to say to all of you is that your body is far more forgiving in

that it is a much more sophisticated factory than most of you believe. And

the reason that we know this is because we see and have seen peoples all

over your nation eating radically different diets and all thriving. And

the common denominator was that they believed what they were eating was

good.

 

But as you become a global community where you are aware of all that and so

many people pointing at what others are eating and condemning it in some

way---then you LOCK OFF the signal of well-being and it doesn't matter how

appropriate the food is that you are eating--- you still don't allow it to

make you thrive. It is far more important HOW YOU FEEL.....here is a fun

way of looking at it:

 

You could believe that something you are eating is really inappropriate

..... it could be full of preservatives and calories and sugars and all of

the things you have been trying to avoid and you could believe utterly

that it is wrong that you eat it and yet it satisfies your taste buds in

some ways and so there is a part of you that is wanting it. And you could

feel so sure that it is wrong and eat it anyway.

 

And then feel really guilty about eating it---in which case you would not

lock on to your signal of well-being. On the other hand, you could see

this and really really want it and see others eating it -- and you could

NOT EAT it because you believe it is wrong and feel so deprived because you

are not eating it and in your deprivation .... you are still not locked on

to the signal. So it didn't matter whether you ate it or not.

 

So many say ....WELL, I MIGHT AS WELL EAT IT.... and we say --- Only you

know that! I O W, what we are wanting you to do in the same way that we

were talking to our friend earlier -- wanting him and all of you to ADORE

yourselves. We would like you to befriend your food. We would like you

to make friends of your food. We would like you to say--

 

THIS FOOD IS A WANTED THING

WITHIN THIS FOOD THERE ARE BENEFICIAL THINGS

 

even if you are eating food that you know has things that you believe are

inappropriate! If you would focus upon the ......

 

You could eat APPLE PIE. Believing that the sugar is inappropriate and

maybe the preservatives to preserve the color and freshness of the apples

are inappropriate and maybe the carbohydrates in the crust are

inappropriate by the things you've picked up along your physical trail and

you could say---

 

BUT AN APPLE A DAY.....IT'S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY LIKE.....

 

and you could focus so purely on the perfection of the apple and your

belief in the well-being of the apple --- that apple pie could actually

cause you to thrive IF you were focused independently enough.

 

And we believe in this world of intertwining that that is the next step.

We think it is important that you befriend your food. And we think the

epidemic of NOT THRIVING that runs rampant, whether you call it obesity or

low energy or any one of the other endless labels that are offered about

the not perfect state of the physical human body. We would give the

majority of the reasons for that to the mood or attitude that most people

have around the subject of FOOD. Food either evokes a feeling of guilt or

a feeling of resentment or a feeling of worry when what it should bring is

APPRECIATION, ABUNDANCE, LONGEVITY, ENERGY, WELL-BEING. Food is such an

important component of your physical experience that we would befriend it

and we would devour it with pleasure.
