Consciousness and eating patterns

We are what we eat

There is a saying: "We are what we eat". 

Unfortunately, not every person understands the deeper meaning of this phrase.

We compare ourselves to the people around us and we encounter folks who have different eating patterns. Time after time, we wonder why people with bad habits live longer than do those who watch what they eat.

Analytic Philosophy

To understand this from the Analytic philosophy point of view is practically impossible.

For example, Western medicine is based on the logic that food is made of calories, carbohydrates, fats, proteins and fairly recently discovered vitamins.  The energetic and spiritual impact of the food, for instance, by prana, is totally ignored by the Western mentality.

Soul

However, in addition to the physical body, humans have a spiritual core—i.e. soul, which forms consciousness.  All eight billion people living on Earth have different consciousnesses. 

Each of them must exchange energies with the Universe. This exchange happens without people's intention to do so. 

Individual Consciousness

However, requirements regarding the purity of the energy are different from person to person and are based on the level of individual consciousness. 

A lower-conscious individual has a "right" to send less pure energies than does a man with a higher consciousness. 

In other words, the higher consciousness demands a supreme quality of energy to send above. 

Therefore, health and self-comfort are dependent on the balance between the level of conscious and dedicated food.

Levels of Consciousness

A person with low levels consciousness "works" on dense types of energy vibrations. 

These vibrations do not require excellence in either food or water. Eating high-fat, low-quality food does not prevent this person from engaging in his daily routines. 

Let's look at a few examples.

Low Consciousness Level 1:
Dedicated food: two-day-old or older food, reheated meals, deep-fried and canned food, cheap alcohol.

Low Consciousness Level 2:
Greasy fast food, soda, cheap beer, tobacco.

Higher consciousness requires cleaner energy channels for transmitting and receiving energy flows. So, the requirements for the quality of the food are higher.

Higher Consciousness Level 1:
Non-separated food (mixed foods like potatoes with meat, cheese with bread, etc.), canned juices, canned fruits, chlorinated boiled water; consumption of raw food is up to 10%.

Higher Consciousness Level 2:
Separated food, i.e. meat and vegetables, cheese and berries; fine wine, water from mountains, raw food 15-25%.

5. Higher Consciousness Level 3:
Eating patterns are based on Ayurveda.
Food according to the energy patterns in the body, vegetarian, fresh juices, raw food 25-35%.

Vegetable salad with sauce

Just like a water pipe can be blocked by dirt, energy channels can be blocked by impurities in unhealthy food. Disturbed energy flow generates sicknesses. 

However, for a high level of consciousness, the requirements for food and water quality are even higher.

6. High Consciousness:
Raw food (70%), sprouted seeds, fruits, vegetables, berries, raw fish, seaweed, sauerkraut, nuts, dry fruits and berries, unrefined oils, pure water from mountains or distilled water.

Raw fish with vegetables and seaweed

Now imagine that a person with higher consciousness persists with bad eating patterns. 

The energy flow between this person and the Higher World is not as smooth as it should be. So, at a certain point, the person will suffer from an energy imbalance. 

As a result, fatigue, bad moods and loss of energy will appear at the emotional level, affecting the physical body and forcing it to become sick.

Therefore, to stay "safe", healthier eating habits must slowly but steadily be incorporated into one’s daily life.

OTHER WAYS TO RAISE CONSCIOUSNESS

There are also other ways to raise personal consciousness.

4. MIGRATION

If one person forms an individual consciousness, then a group of people molds a collective consciousness. 

For example, a collective consciousness might belong to a small group of people such as a tribe, a sect, a club, a country, or to several countries, etc. Each of them has its own collective consciousness. And this consciousness varies from country to country.

There are 195 countries on Earth and some countries have lower consciousness than others.

Migrating from a country with a lower consciousness to a country with a higher consciousness will raise your consciousness.

Consequently, a person born in an environment with a lower consciousness (some African countries, part of the Asian continent, etc.) has a chance to raise his consciousness in countries with higher consciousness (Singapore, Australia, Western Europe, USA, etc.).

As a result, this method has some great advantages, such as low risk and achieving a higher level of consciousness in a relatively short time.

However, there are drawbacks, and the biggest of them is the limited level of the collective consciousness of the country into which the person emigrated.

5. CURIOSITY

You can raise your consciousness with the help of curiosity and the study of everything above physical reality.

As a result, the interest in the metaphysical, supernatural, channeled phenomenon, etc. creates an opportunity to eliminate ignorance. Therefore, you will move on to a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm.

For example, L. Strelnikova, L. Seklitova,  started interacting with a Subtle World of basic curiosity. However, during the 30 years of continuous channeling and hard work to understand the esoteric information, they enlarged their personal level of consciousness and published over 60 esoteric books.

This method is risk-free and fun, but it takes a long time.

6. PRAYERS

Prayers are a powerful tool for cleaning our thin shells.
As a result, it cleanses us and gives us a chance to rise above materialistic values.

Some people, moving away from the bustle of the crowd, became saints, spending a lot of time in prayers.  As a result of the purification, they raised their consciousness and gained access to the Subtle World during their physical life.

The biggest advantage of this method is low risk. On the other hand, it is a laborious way that also requires trust in the Higher Powers.

7. INVOCATIONS

Some of the channelers, such as Kim Michaels, provide a set of tools with invocations and degrees.

Invocations and degrees. look like a mixture of powerful prayers and affirmations that help boost individual and collective consciousness. I've heard about the positive change in the collective consciousness of one of the countries thanks to the invocations and degrees made by a large group of people.

The advantage of this methodology is low risk. On the other hand, it is time-consuming and requires trust in a channeler.

TO SUM UP

In conclusion, the Spiritual Choice toward Light is the most efficient way to raise consciousness, however,  it's the riskiest one. 

On the other hand, the best result will be obtained using all the methods in combination.

MAIN WAYS TO EVOLVE CONSCIOUSNESS

                                                         The Girl With Vision. Photography © Jacklyn A. Lo

Like anything in the Universe, our Consciousness is a subject of Evolution and Devolution.

According to my observations, there are three main ways to evolve consciousness.

1. Personalized Answers & Questions

Always look for answers to your personal questions. The Internet, books, films, or people - all of these sources - are a great opportunity to find out your personal truth. Each answer to your question will increase the share of your wisdom and decrease the share of your ignorance.

However, this method has some disadvantages. Firstly, this is a long-term development; secondly, you must remain focused and you also need good luck.

2. Vipassana Meditation

About 2600 years ago, Gautama Buddha gave people the technique that we call Vipassana meditation today.

Gautama practiced various meditation techniques until he began the Vipassana - "to see things as they are." 

This meditation allows you to learn to control your mind and purify your inner repository - the subconscious.  As a result, a balanced mind and cleaned from impurities subconscious are the goals of this process.

Therefore, we can call Vipassana meditation a high-speed path because it allows you to get rid of the impurity in your subconscious in a relatively short period of time. For Gautama, for instance, it took only one day.

Summing up, the cleaner subconscious allows running through your life project lighter, with fewer errors and attachments. Therefore, the saved time and energy will go to the evolution of consciousness.

However, there are some disadvantages to this methodology as well. For instance, you have to regularly practice meditation; besides, there is physical pain from the long sits; moreover, there are some side effects.

3. Choice of Light

A Spiritual Choice towards Light is a shortcut to enlightenment and consequently full liberation from your reincarnation chain.

What is Spiritual Choice?

For example,  at a certain moment in life, one faces a situation of Spiritual Choice*. The spiritual choice is a test for an individual to define a further direction of movement – to Light or to Darkness. The principle of the choice is based on Free Will, which our Creator generously gave to an Individual. 

Most importantly, the right choice provides you with an upgrade of your Consciousness. The best reference to how Spiritual Choice affects a human is described in the fictional novel Redemption.

Sample

These three ways for the improvement of our consciousness can be compared by traveling by car. 

The first way (Questions & Answers) can be compared to traveling along a countryside road with a 40 km/hour speed limit, i.e. slow.

The second option (Vipassana) is as driving along a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/hour, i.e. faster. 

While the third option, the Choice of Light, is a shortcut. The shorter alternative route allows you to save time and gasoline, and as a result, to arrive at a destination much earlier than using two other methods.

The best result, however, is achieved by a combination of all three methods.

To be continued...

* Note: some people have no spiritual choice because they have already made a final choice of the direction toward Darkness and, as a result, have lost the ability to have free will.

OUR LOW CONSCIOUSNESS

                                                                  The Girl With Vision. Photography © Jacklyn A. Lo

                                                                                  

We are all gathered here, on this dense planet, due to our low consciousness.

life scenario

Each of us receives an individual life scenario as a present at birth.

As a result, everyone gets the opportunity to correct errors and misdeeds made in previous lives.

evolution

This allows us to continue our movement to the next level of evolution.

Unfortunately, because of our limited vision, clearing our previous karma does not eliminate the new stream of errors.

incarnation

Therefore, we are forced to incarnate again and again.
But is there a way to eliminate the shortcomings accumulated in the past, and at the same time prevent new errors?
Yes, there is!

vision

An ideal scenario would be to improve personal vision.

Vision is a direct product of consciousness.

consciousness level 1

For example, imagine you were born on the ground floor of a building, and your vision is limited to the view from your window.

Therefore, you think that this is the only reality that exists.
You see the courtyard in front of your window, a tree, and a small path to the forest.
So, you make decisions based on this picture. You are not aware of opportunities that go beyond that.

consciousness level 2

Now imagine that at some point in your life you moved to the 10th floor of the same building.

Accordingly, the picture from the window has changed. Now you can see the whole park, the lake next to it, a large road and the city.
Thus, this point of view gives you a better vision and greater opportunities.

consciousness level 3

Next, imagine that you are moving to the 100th floor. Now you can see another city behind the lake, several highways, the coast, and even another country.
As a result, you will find new opportunities beyond your imagination.

to sum up

Summing up, we can say that the floors of the building are levels of consciousness, and the view from the window is your vision of a life project.

Thus, improving consciousness gives you better vision, which helps you move through life more efficiently and with fewer errors.

Seek, and you will find; 

Knock, and it will be opened to you."

Kyle XY ( TV series 2006-2009). Spiritual Movie Review - Jacklyn A. Lo

Kyle XY

"Who am I?”

The first key phrase in the Kyle XY ( TV series 2006-2009)  is "Who am I?”

Fifteen-year-old Kyle appears from out of nowhere and asks himself that question: “Who am I?”

Gratitude

Kyle expresses continuous gratitude to his adoptive parents and tries to avoid anything that could hurt them. He is kind to his girlfriend and truly cares about her well-being. Kyle says that "she is perfect".

Unfortunately, Kyle’s attitude toward his parents and friends does not apply to the "normal" teenagers around him.

"Normal" teenagers 

The spoiled girls and boys take for granted everything that has been given to them. They look for entertainment in bad relationships and alcohol.

Cynically moving through their lives, they don't bother with kind words for their significant others. For example, Kyle's brother-in-law comments about his girlfriend, "She stinks of sweat".

In the best-case scenario, a "normal" teenager cares about a sport mostly because it represents a chance for him to become "the best". However, this intention is not based on the idea of developing his personal spiritual strength. Rather, it stems from personal pride—the desire to show off and be better than others. This attitude results in separation from others and, in the long run, creates loneliness and frustration.

Unlike his peers, Kyle, when in a problematic situation, thinks about collective justice and benefits for others rather than for himself.

Ignorance 

The second keyword in this series is “ignorance”.

Most of the teens ignorantly squander their large inheritances.
Why inheritance?

Our current existence in the human life form is an investment of thousands, or even millions, of spiritual embodiments.
In our previous lives, we worked very hard for the chance to be embodied in a human body. To be human is a reward, which, in accordance with Hindu beliefs, could also be taken back.

Because of some positive karma that they collected in their previous existences, these teens earned the opportunity to live in an economically advantaged environment. Such surroundings provide greater opportunities for personal growth than do developing countries.

Reincarnation

Unfortunately, in the very early stage of Christianity, the concept of reincarnation was cut off and an individual was thrown into the concept of a one-life existence. That has shut down an opportunity for the individual to obtain a deeper understanding of himself*.

As a result, at the current stage, average Westerners seek only a “nice” current life, without looking beyond and seeing the very hard work they have done throughout an uncounted number of incarnations.

Molly’s Game (2017). Spiritual Movie Review - Jacklyn A. Lo

Molly's Game

Some of us came to Earth for the very last time, for the very last test. Sometimes the mission of these mature souls is to identify their imperfection and solve it. That allows them to make a final exit—to fully liberate themselves from physical reality, without a return to it. 

One such challenger is a young woman called Molly.

Molly expresses herself as a mature soul from a very young age. When her father interviews her, Molly’s answers are smart. She shows herself as an Individual. Her father "works" as a very supportive asset for her mission.

Just as a sick person looks for the cure to his or her disease, Molly is looking to reveal her own weaknesses and flaws. However, Molly doesn’t necessarily recognize that mission herself. As with most of us, her past lives and memories are blocked from her consciousness and she moves blindly through her life script.

As any mature soul does, she also has a high energetic potential, which gives her the ability to identify opportunities when they come to her. When Molly’s boss discriminates against her refusing to pay her what she’s worth, she leaves him to open her own business.

Following her mission and driven by the Law of Evolution, she has a life script that gives her a chance to exercise a high-energy project: gambling.

This project provides Molly with great opportunities to test her inner qualities. She recognises that she feels GREED and her father points out that she has a desire for POWER. The DIAGNOSIS has been made.

Greed and the desire for power are mental pollutions, i.e., sins, over which Molly must prevail on her Path of Evolution.

And her life scenario brings leads her to a "game-changer" situation.

As a mature soul, Molly has respect for LAW and legality, so she tries to make her business as "clean" as possible. Still, she ends up in court and is pushed to leave the world of gambling.

Now, when she has a diagnosis as well as time for herself, it's the perfect moment to take care of her imperfections and fully focus on self-improvement. 

This is an excellent movie!

Extra Note: 

This story is a perfect example of how life can be limited to an almost "no-choice" scenario when a spiritual entity is so close to Exit—i.e., liberation from physical reality forever.
