Redefining International Cuisine: Mind of a Meat Eater: Day 56 Mother's Milk

This is How I Became a 'Meat Eater'

Here is my memory of what happened:
> I was born to this world without an assurance that i will get the basic necessities i need to survive. 
>>I fear surviving in this world of competition and self-interest
 >>>I cried and when my mom heard me cry, she came and fed me mother's milk
>>>>My family fed me anything that was available for me to survive and i ate it
>>>>>I saw them cooking and eating food so i tasted it and liked the taste of it so i ate what was served on the table 
>>>>>>I liked meat when i was young specifically 'humba' ( pigs knuckles in a Philippine 'humba' sauce) - a dish my mother cooked for me) so i ate more of it and other foods that was given to me
>>>>>>>'To forget my fears, i entertained myself with food'

This is one mind pattern .   When i look at how i programmed myself within food (have a look below - what you see is a copy of how i programmed me as my mind in relation to food), what is clear is that my 'fear of survival and fear of death' is directing me in my choice of food


To Be Continued in the coming blogs

A Copy of 

My Food Programming

- Memory:I was born to this world without an assurance that i will get the basic necessities i need to survive.

- Memory: I heard a story where my grandmother was telling me that when i was young, she was so angry to see a cockroach very near me while she was watching me as I was sick and dying in the hospital. She said that happened when she was ' praying to God to save my life and at the same time imploring him to take my life and not let me suffer if it was not meant for me to survive'. 'I was scared to know that i was at one time in the past dying'
- Memory: when i was about 7 -8 yrs old, i felt weak, as i was lying down on bed in the house of my grandmother, having a flu hating the  'bad taste' of the medicine she gave me
- Memory: when i was in high school i was having heart pains -and was told by a doctor that i have 'angina', a mild form of heart disease which the 'specialist' dismissed as 'nothing' after he tested my heart. He advised me to just play outdoors' - yet in my mind i had this fear of getting sick and dying which i kept to myself suspecting that there's something going on in my body which i am not aware of nor they are aware of

- Memory: I adopted a 'sentient' cooked vegetarian diet - believing that food like mushroom, garlic, onion, meat, fish etc.  has  'negative energy' in them' and that generally vegetables, fruits, nuts, milk, butter have positive energy in them (as the guru said so )  - Memory: I learned how to cook a 'tasty' vegetarian diet
- Memory: I believed that the vegetarian diet is 'better than' a carnivorous diet - believing it is a 'healthy diet'

- Memory: I did juice feasting                                                    (fear of getting sick)
- Memory: I felt good and light
- Memory: I saw a man in a youtube video surviving just eating fruits
- Memory: My dad had an illness so i visited him one day and was surprised to know that he was just eating fruits, he looked 10 years younger his age and he's healed from his illness

- Memory: I found out my body only wants to sleep for 2 hrs and has all the energy throughout the day to do what needs to be done
- Memory: I found out i can run faster when i was not eating - also feeling so light -  than when i was eating
- Memory: I was mesmerized by these new found 'feats'
- Memory:  I considered myself 'special' believing that the majority of people eats food and i didn't - believing they were 'normal and i was special'
- Memory: I found out my body is beginning to adopt to not eating on the third day of the 'no water no food fast'
- Memory: I fear sickness and death - so it came up and i saw myself fearing not being able to eat for a long period of time
- Memory: I heard someone saying that breatharianism is a 'mind energetic bullshit'
- Memory: I fear continuing my fast                                         (fear of getting sick/death)
- Memory: I stopped
I am presently doing self-forgiveness for my fears and correcting myself in my living

Food Preparation and Time :Day 27 After Making 20 Meals: 'I Don't Care'



 
===
===

In this blog, i am doing self-forgiveness for moving fast and do more when there's little time and more to do and be lazy when i have more time and so little to do to release myself from this 'energetic relationship/experience of myself' within time to birth me here and assist myself to have a real relationship with time.


I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to drive myself to move fast and do more given so little time and so much to do - to make 20 raw food meals for a client and then the next day be lazy about doing another 6 raw food meals and 6 desserts for another client - cycling through the 'positive energetic experience of doing so much in so little time and then within a 'negative energetic experience' after that - with so much time and so little to do - which is me changing - as the mind driven by external factors within doing or not doing something - as who i have become as the mind in a 'negative energy experience' of me  when there's lots of time being available to me and so little to do believing there's no challenge to be the best within that - not realizing that who i am as life  - is not defined by energy - moving me within as presence

I commit myself to when and as i see myself doing something so fast when there's little time and so much to do-  and being lazy when there's so much time and so little to do - which is me having an energetic relationship' with time - rather than a real relationship with time - as i move me in every moment as breath - - i stop - i breathe

I realize that this is me defining me within an illusion of change as i superimpose my minds desire on reality - for a 'positive energy experience' within finishing 20 meals in a day which became a challenge  - a sort of competition between me and time - as i see time separate from me through the value i give it - where i give small amount of time more value -  more time - as less value. I also created an energetic relationship with tasks - seeing tasks as separate from me - where more things to do as more value- less things to do as less value - rather than having a real relationship with time, a real relationship with tasks/food preparation .


So, to assist myself to accept and allow me to establish a real relationship with time and with tasks/food preparation - moving me within every moment of breath - and accept and allow me to express me as who i am as equal to all that is here - as i prepare food - where i see food as fruits, vegetables, nuts etc. as equal to my expression - standing equal to the food within and as myself  - accepting and allowing myself to stand equal to all food items i prepare and the gadgets i use to prepare food  - as who i am as all life- breath by breath moment by moment.
