Rice Part 5 Sushi, Food, Sex and Art




In the previous post, i wrote about a recipe of a rice milk drink with cardamom and as i browse through the 'newsfeed' in Facebook, i saw the picture above.


Here, the body and food is being abused in the name of so-called 'art'. 

*Why do we use rice and food in general to feed the mind?

We did not see that when we use food to feed the mind we abuse food and because the physical/body is being resourced for energy for the mind to exist, we abuse the body as well

*Why are we not aware that when we think thoughts we are resourcing the body of energy to feed the mind?

We exist in an alternate reality as the mind, thinking thoughts, backchatting, reacting etc. - never really here as breath in every moment.

*Why are we accepting and allowing plants or food in general to be used to entertain us within the excuse that 'it is beautiful' - justifying this by saying 'this is art'?

We have done that as the 'evil' us - so we have to take self-responsibility and forgive ourselves for accepting and allowing that, then write a blog about it and rewrite ourselves - commit to correct ourselves and practically live that. 

*Why do we prepare rice, make sushi out of it and then put it on our body and call it art?
All because we desire to be entertained by beauty - to 'be happy' and believe that, that justifies that.

I say, this is totally Unacceptable.

I can see that what is fueling this is FEAR of loss/survival/ugliness//not being entertained/not being happy.

The positive comes from the negative.

In this blog i am questioning our use of rice/plants/food in sex in so-called 'art'. 

I am also looking at the word 'art'.

Here's the definition of 'Art' from the Bing Dictionary:
beautiful objects: beautiful or thought-provoking works produced through creative activity


This is a mind definition of art

These are the ways in which we live it:

We use RICE to prepare sushi, then we put it on an almost naked body
of a woman
to get money and profit
Abuse of food and humans/women 
for money and profit


We use food to get money and profit from entertaining people's eyes - in the form of so called 'art'
=
Abuse of food for 'art's sake'


We use food and carve them to entertain people in restaurants and events
to get money and profit 
=
Abuse of food and art


Here's a realistic perspective of art:

Quote:

And that that ... artwork piece is the manifestation of the expression of you within and as oneness and equality of yourself. It's got no value, It's got no worth, its got no importance. it is a manifestation of the expression of you in a moment. It does not influence you, It does not change you, it does not control you...It is what it is. It is what it is in the moment of the expression. But self-expression in itself is actually who you are in every moment of every breath of self-honesty. That is self-expression.

Food is being used too in sex, for money and profit

This is abuse of food and the body - within sex

There are many more abuses where rice or in general, food/plants/animals/humans
are used to entertain the mind. 

Bottom line is the body is being abused/resourced for the mind to exist.

While this is happening, there are people who do not eat 3 times a day.

Solution: 
We have to stop participating in desires etc. 
Let's walk back to look at where the fear that fuels this started.

 Self-forgiveness and commitment to correction in practical living 
breath by breath is key.

It is also important for us to create a world system that supports survival of all life - a balanced economy as a balanced ecosystem that supports life.

Money has to be given a value equal to life and all life for that matter.

While Billionaires have mega yatchs costing hundreds of millions of dollars, and with net worth equal to Billions of dollars, the poor and the unemployed can barely survive and there are those who die of hunger in Africa.

We have to give the poor and the unemployed a Basic/Living Income, Guaranteed so they can get the basic necessities they need to survive. This is possible and doable if the corporations who profit from the earth's natural resources like water, oil etc. are nationalized and would give part of their income to the poor and the unemployed. 

The earth's resources are given to all of us equally, for all to survive not just to a few.

Quote: 

I commit myself to show, that Life as ‘lifestyle’ as origin as source as resource, is Given: Equally – to every Body of Life; and that dominion is to those that are able to distribute this which is Given Freely, Equally to All – that no-one may need or desire anything that will cause this separation that now exist as ‘lifestyle’ on Earth. 

I commit myself to Call on those claiming to be experts in Economics, to remove their Fears and prejudices, and to walk in Forgiveness for what they have allowed on Earth, and to rectify the situation so that All Life may be Equal at the table, prepared for Each One to have enough to Eat and Drink, and to have a Home and a lifestyle worth Living to such measure that that is the Inheritance they give to All Children that may ever be born on Earth for All Time – as that is the Foundation of Eternal Peace and Love on Earth'

Rice, The Body and Money Part 2


In the previous post i wrote about rice nutrition and how we use rice in marriage ceremonies, and how changing the way we see money and rice can benefit us all.

This blog is a continuation of that blog.

The second point i want to discuss here is this,

Due to our obsession with beautifying ourselves to be 'special', to be liked by others we give different food items a value that is more than or less than Life depending on what will make us win in this world of inequality where 'competition is the name of the game' that's why we call it the 'game of Life'. Life is not a game. It is about expressing ourselves here and standing for what is best for all.

We blame this physical existence for perceived loss, instead of taking self-responsibility for all that is here.

Instead of seeing rice as a source of nutrition to assist the body to survive, we blame rice in making us 'fat and ugly' which is how we interpret reality based on our fears.

We fail to see that this desire is fueled by our fear of losing - desiring to win in a world of competition -a world of inequality where the body is being abused and is being used to give more value to oneself. We fear losing value when we put on weight. We blame rice and other food items that contains carbohydrates for this. 

We do not see that we are the ones inhabiting this body and is being assisted by it and so we have the responsibility to regulate the amount of carbohydrates we take and what other condiments we add to it and make sure our body has all the nutrition it needs

Having failed to take self-responsibility, we fear the consequence of our actions which is for example eating a lot of rice and seeing our body is increasing in size, we blame rice as the one that is making us fat and this is so with other foods containing carbohydrates. 

Our excuse is that we have to stay Fit as the 'fit and sexy' personality and so we justify being in a low carbohydrate diet believing that that diet will make us 'feel better' about ourselves.

We did not see that it is the fear of losing that is fueling this desire to win through being in a certain type of diet.

Interestingly enough this desire is being impulsed by the media for money and profit just like we impulse others to buy raw food products to lose weight, enroll in Weight Watchers to lose weight, Jenny Craig and many more. Within this, we use our so called 'beautiful, fit and sexy people' to advertise our products. impulsing our desire for those within our inflated view of reality.

Corporations have big advertising budgets for this purpose - to impulse our desire to buy products that will satisfy our needs.

The Purpose: Money and Profit.

What we have to look at is how we can even out the 'playing field' so to speak where there will be no one losing - where everybody wins. 

We have to consider all, not just ourselves. We have to give the poor and the unemployed their rightful share by giving them a Basic/Living Income, that is Guaranteed - BIG or LIG (Living Income Guaranteed).

This is doable and practical.

It has Not been done, Not because we can't do it, but because we are just looking out for ourselves, our families etc. without realizing that if we continue this way = We all lose. 

The earth has given all of us equal share to its natural resources so that we all may equally survive. It is not given to a few. It is for all of us. 

Nationalizing corporations whose product is water, oil etc. and giving part of their profit to the poor and unemployed as a Basic/Living Income Guaranteed.is the solution. The more money in circulation, the more Demand for products produced by corporations. This is a 'win-win' solution.

Obviously, we have to be practical and see that when BIG/LIG becomes a reality, we have to change the economic model: it's just not working.

Rice, Nutrition,and Money Part 1





According to Wikipedia:

Rice is the seed of the monocot plants Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or Oryza glaberrima (African rice). As a cereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in Asia. It is the grain with the second-highest worldwide production, after maize (corn), according to data for 2010.

We use rice in making different dishes.

Rice is here to also assist the body to get nutrition.

According to Nutrition Data, cooked long grain, brown Rice has a completeness score of 28 and an Amino Acid Score of 71 and that it is a good source of  Thiamine, Folate and Manganese.

In my my previous blog, i wrote about fried rice and the Philippine 'sinangag' and how the Filipino's desire for fried rice is being satisfied by Philippine Food chain like 'Sinangag Express' in exchange for profit etc.

In this blog i would like to investigate the way we use Rice in this world.

Firstly, we eat food which includes rice - cooked, or raw/sprouted -without seeing and realizing why we are eating food. We do not see that food items such as Rice is here to support the body. What we do most of the time is we eat rice with other dishes to Feed our Desires.

We use rice  in 'House Blessing Ceremonies' to make the house 'attract good fortune' which is really desiring more money for the occupants because money = happiness and that is our definition of 'good fortune'.

We fail to see that this desire for good fortune is fueled by fear of not having money to buy the basic necessities to survive in a world where survival is not guaranteed.

We fail to see that 'good fortune' can be redefined as that which is best for all - where all can win - living life as equals where all have money to buy the basic necessities to survive.

Why do we desire good fortune or what is best for just ourselves - our family and friends, and not all creatures? That is self-interest. Interestingly enough, what is best for all of us is essentially what is best for the individual - because the individual is the indivisible whole.

Where i grew up, we serve rice to give pleasure to our family and friends in events or fiestas (feasts) and we use it in weddings.


We throw rice to the bridegroom and the bride when the marriage ceremony is over for good luck to wish them a happy and abundant life not realizing that to wish some and not all an enjoyable life is based on ones desire to win and for the rest to loose. Some poor people does not even have rice to feed themselves 3 square meals a day and that 'abundance for some' means depriving others of what's due them.

We fail to see that our fear of not having enough food to eat is impulsed by an unequal world system.

So, instead of 'desiring to have a happy and abundant life for just our family and friends' who are getting married, and using rice to 'bring good luck' which is based on a belief, we have to look at our beliefs and see that all of us is birthed here and that all of us have to - live life and enjoy Life.

So, the way to Life is to stand for that which is what is best for all, also being grateful to plants, and to see that Rice and see that all food items are here as expressions of Life, so it is commonsensical to give them a value equal to Life.

We have to also give the same value to all humans equally and show practically that we can all ive in a way that we all win by living as equals and giving the poor and unemployed a life of dignity and consider a Basic/Living Income, Guaranteed from birth to death - BIG or LIG (Living Income Guaranteed).
