Food and Nutrition Journey To Life

MORE ABOUT RICE, NUTRITION Etc.

We say that foods with a lot of carbohydrates, like rice for example, feels heavy in our stomach and because of that we believe that it must be bad for us or not 'healthy' for us.

So, we have this desire to eat foods that are light. We go and search for a diet that consist of what we believe are 'Light' foods.

We read and search in the internet and we watch some videos to find out which diet will be 'good' for us.

This is what i am going to look at in this blog - diets.

There are so many diets that came out to cater for or satisfy this desire - the desire to eat foods that are light.

What am i talking about?

We originally ate all kinds of meat
but one day, we were diagnosed of some health problem
we were scared and fearful
so we researched about food and saw a blog, a study, a book or a website that told us
that of all kinds of meat, chicken has the least fat content
and that lowering the fat content of food we eat is the way to 'better health'
we looked for that kind of food in our supermarket and we bought
a skinless breast of chicken and low fat food products
and because we see people who did this in ads saying 'they look good and feel good'
when they tried this diet
and because we believed that when we ate that same kind of diet
we felt the same way
we eventually said 'we looked good and felt good' in this diet

Or
We tried increasing our protein intake and lessened the carbohydrates
within the 'atkins diet' or the 'ketogenic diet'
because we read or listened to someone who said it was good
and that they 'felt good and looked good' in this diet
so we eventually believed we 'felt good and looked good' in this diet

Or
We tried being vegetarian
because we heard Dr Oz ( friend of Oprah) or PETA ( People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals )
advertising Vegetarianism
or because we heard a lecture from a yoga group on the benefits of eating a vegetarian diet
so we go and buy some vegetarian food
or cook some
because they are saying 'they look good and feel good' on the diet
Eventually, after we ate some and tried the diet
we said, 'we look good and feel good'

Or
We tried being a vegan
because we watched a film or documentary about the benefits of a vegan diet
so we go and buy some
or cook some
so we eat it because we remember that the people in the ad said
'they feel good and look good'
so as we experience some lightness
we said 'we feel good and look good'

Or
We tried all of the above and so decided to kick it up a notch
so we decided we will try raw foods
because we have seen the before and after stories
of people who have lost so much weight in raw foods
who said they 'feel good and look good'
so we eat it and we also said 'we feel good and look good'

Or we tried all of the above and decided we have to eat
simple meat dishes plus veggies, fruits and nuts without grains within the 'paleo diet'
we believed what we read and what they said in the media, which is 'we feel good and look good'
we bought some books being sold and watched some videos
and eventually we said the same thing they said, 'we look good and feel good'

Or
We tried all of the above and so decides to push it to the 'extreme'
so we tried breatharianism (eating a little bit in a week, but does not eat nor drink most of the time)
we listened to interviews, videos and books about it
we believed what they said
and believed that eating this way will reduce the garbage in the ocean
solve the poverty problem in the world
so we bought books of authors and seminars
and believed that this diet will make us 'superhumans' where, not only do we look slim but
we also believed we have transcended hunger and is now in another dimension
believing that 'we are living in light or prana' making us 'special' - 'superhumans'
they said, 'they feel good, look good, light, happy and special'
we tried not- eating and have felt that the whole 'experience' is 'out of this world'
believing that because we have survived
eating and drinking only a little bit (2-7 Tbsp of food and drinking 1-2 cups of water in a week)
still having energy to run and do work etc.
make us a 'special' kind of human
so eventually we said the same thing the breatharian's say, 'we feel good, look good, light, happy and special'

When we say rice is heavy and salad is light, for example, what do we really mean?

According to the Word Web:

Heavy
Dense or inadequately leavened and hence likely to cause distress in the alimentary canal
Light Easily assimilated in the alimentary canal; not rich or heavily seasoned

We really do not see how the body digest food, so how can we tell that certain foods can cause distress or can be easily assimilated in the alimentary canal?

We can't within our self-imposed limitation as we are thinking about things constantly or busy manipulating ourselves to come to a peaceful state of mind missing what is going on in our stomach, unaware of the physical sensations that will tell us very faint shaking of our muscles etc. in our body as we try to manifest our beliefs in whatever diet we are in or so-called lifestyle we are in which is spoken or written physically through our words, our movement etc.

We do know that , it is a feeling of heaviness which is associated with tiredness, sleepiness, slow movement, restriction in breathing etc. which we associate with control and restriction that we resist

while it is having a lot of energy to move with ease and breathe with ease that we associate with lightness which we associate with freedom.

So, it is our desire for freedom within our movement which is our definition of what Life is and fear of being handicapped which is our definition of sickness and death that we are living within our desire for light and heavy foods projecting these to food when we are the ones creating these in our minds, because we fear surviving in this unequal world system of money. We have to stop projecting this to food and instead take self-responsibility to stop recreating these in our minds.

As we can see above, these different diets was interpreted in many different ways by the mind. It is us as the mind that manipulates the body to manifest our beliefs that makes us 'feel good and look good' perceiving different effects in our body rather than looking at the fears that fuel them which we can stop if we want to.

Instead of manifesting consequence in 'our without' - as this unequal world system, as we recreate our fears in 'our within' - as our mind, we can live in a stable world system based on oneness and equality as we decide from the starting point of what is best for all of us. Instead of the constant re-creation of the weight loss industry through our fears, where we give money, food, our body etc. a value that is more than or less than Life, we can give money a value equal to life and have a balanced ecosystem of money that benefits all instead of just a few and we can create an equal and one relationship with food, the body, nature and all that is here and create heaven on earth.

In whatever diet we choose, the end result is money and profit for the businesses that we support - the book authors get money, the groceries, restaurants, the media, the water companies, the oil producers etc.

Even breatharians use a form of transportation so a business or corporation is making profit out of that. They use a little bit of food, water to take a shower and they have houses or places with water service so the water and oil companies are also making money out of them. They are in this way, within this world system and support the inequality that is here.

The carnivorous community as much as the vegetarian comunity, the vegan community, the raw food industry, the atkins diet proponents and the paleo diet creators also get money. They too use water and oil so they also support this unequal world system of money.

Everyone supports this world system of money. We use resources given to us by the earth which is being mined by businesses and corporations running this world for money and profit. The earth has given its resources to all equally, but it only benefits the few - the elite. We have to share it to the poor, the uneducated, the elderly and the unemployed - who are the majority so we can all live in dignity.

We are all here 'together' in this one life.

We have to stop creating separation within different lifeforms, plants, animals, vegetables etc. within this 'eating healthy' paranoia based on our fears saying our diet is 'better than' other diets. Our body was created from different sets of chromosomes given to us by our parents so one body's needs differ from another's. It is 'foolish' to say one diet is better than another because we have different body constitutions here.

Quote:

'A simple environmental event could affect how genes worked and that could be inherited
as if a memory of an event is being passed down through generations'

We have to consider a way to give the poor access to money to support the body's survival and assist all to live life in dignity - considering a Basic/Living Income Guaranteed from birth to death.

Weight loss Part 5: Food, Work And How We Create Hollywood: Correcting Myself

Facebook Page

MORE ABOUT RICE, NUTRITION Etc.

http://money.msn.com/now/post.aspx?post=0a04d5e6-ae81-4b4f-9ab5-ecd448138691

We have this belief that Hollywood stars are popular
because they are slim, fit, beautiful/handsome and wealthy
and within this, believe that we will get attention like them too
when we become fit, slim, beautiful/handsome and wealthy

The stars have become our 'idea-l' personalities
The 'movie characters' vs the real characters living in this physical world

The idea of Hollywood is our way out of the
ugliness, suffering and abuse in this world
Even if this means we have to create
a clone of Hollywood personalities in our mind
to be fit and slim like them etc.
and within this desire to be slim and fit, beautiful, wealthy and popular
like the stars on television, in movies etc.
as they are being portrayed in the media
This is how we create in 'our within' - as the mind

A Mind Hollywood

Interestingly enough,
we accept pictures in our mind
only of that which will give us hope
hoping for a 'positive' experience

We watch the Oscar award's
the red carpet
the expensive gowns worn by stars
the winners and the parties after the award
yet we do not want to watch what is going on outside the red carpet
where there is a dust carpet - a real nature carpet
rejecting to watch the homeless in the streets of Hollywood
and the poor unknown musicians basking in the streets of Hollywood
and everywhere in this world
because we connected poverty with a negative energy experience
that of pain and suffering
and because we believe in the law of attraction
we resist 'negative experiences'

not realizing that the 'positive' comes from the 'negative'
and that without one the other cannot exist
like the polarity of 'love and hate'

creating the Homeless in Hollywood
which comes with the
creation of the Hollywood Entertainment Industry

Having said this, we have to look at
who's earning money and making profit from these?

The media is earning money and profit.

"Consumers expect advertisers to come to the Oscars with their A-game," Andy McMillin, a Coca-Cola (KO -1.35%) vice president, tells The New York Times. The company will be featuring a new Diet Coke ad during the broadcast.

Oscar broadcaster ABC, part of Walt Disney (DIS -1.07%), is reportedly charging advertisers up to $1.8 million for 30 seconds of commercial time during the Oscars, the highest rate for the event since 2008.

I will be looking at Hollywood in this blog.

Beauty specialists are also making money out of Hollywood events?

Beauty specialists are also making a killing in Hollywood these days, as they get celebrities, would-be celebrities and people who just want to look like celebrities ready for their real or imagined red-carpet close-ups.

You don't even have to be based in L.A. to win. Dermatologist David Colbert recently flew there from New York and rented a temporary office in Beverly Hills ahead of the Academy Awards. According to the The New York Times, Dr. Colbert's calendar in the month leading up to the Oscars "was already booked solid with 75 appointments...even though his 30-minute Triad Medical facial, which features microdermabrasion, laser toning and chemical peeling, starts at $800 a session." He's also making home visits on request.

What we create in 'our within' - in our mind world
we also create in 'our without' - as this physical world
which is this world system of money

We create a consequence outflow in whatever we accept and allow.

The following are my commitments
as my way of taking responsibility to correct myself

Join me in this Journey to Life

Below is my self-correction script
where i am rewriting myself to birth me here as someone
who stands for what is best for all

I am also providing a solution here from an economic perspective.

Commitments:

I commit myself to

instead of believing that stars are popular
being slim, fit, beautiful/handsome and wealthy

realize that this is my interpretation of reality
where i defined body, size, posture and shape
within beauty, wealth and popularity
within my mind
and Not what is real

It is an illusion i created within my mind
as i run away from my mind perception of 'ugliness, suffering and pain'
to make me feel better - as a way of winning
because i know that there's a lot of abuse going on
and within us winning there's someone losing
in this competition to survive
in this unequal world system

deceiving myself and shielding my eyes from the truth

So, i commit myself to
when and as i see myself entertaining thoughts about this
I stop myself from participating
and stabilize myself as the breath within my body
and see what is real

I commit myself to not shield my eyes
from seeing the abuse in this world
so i can write and speak about them
in my blogs
so people will wake up to the truth
and assist in creating
a world where all will live in dignity

I commit myself to
instead of believing that when i become fit and slim
people will give me attention just like the stars
believing that this is the 'idea-l' life

where within this is the desire for
living a 'luxurious' life
that is perceived to be above normal
having a picture of normal life within my mind
that is characterized by pain and suffering
believing 'normal' work means boring and tiresome work
surviving paycheck after paycheck
and believing that the way to 'escape' this ordeal
is making it to Hollywood
which is perceived to be the 'idea-l' life
which is perceived as lots of money, parties, vacations
and 'adoring fans'

rather than seeing and realizing that
real work involves movement and self-expression
as who i am here
as the breath within my body
aware of my heartbeat when i move
and express myself as i work

Within this, I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself
to be aware of food items that i touch when i work with them in the kitchen
realizing that plants and animals are made up of the same substance as my body - the dust of the earth

I commit myself to work with awareness
being aware of the food i come in contact with
where they come from, how they arrived in my kitchen etc.

I commit myself to show how food is being abused in this world
within our thoughts of wanting to be fit as we run away from
our fear of being fat

putting my right hand on my chest
when and as i go to my mind world
to think, imagine, react etc.
of actors and actresses and the weekly gossip about them
realizing this is how i create it in 'my without'
as this world system
and so i stop creating it in 'my within' - as the mind

Directing myself to be aware of my heartbeat
as a physical here, reality check
being aware of my heartbeat
as it is the one heartbeat
that we share together as one in this life

I commit myself to show that there's money for the elite
yet the Homeless are left without a decent home to shield their body from changes in temperature outside on the streets of Hollywood, and no money to buy food

The Elite : Analysts say Oscar time injects tens of millions of dollars each year into local businesses and economies in LaLa Land -- some estimates run to $130 million -- pumping cash into everything from hotels to catering to transportation.

http://money.msn.com/now/post.aspx?post=6ba7aa69-f3d7-4009-8874-b15859f9e382

The Homeless:
When people imagine Hollywood, they envision streets filled with rich and famous people whose luxurious lifestyles are represented in movies.

But one photographer ventured just a few miles away from the multi-million dollar mansions and film studios to experience a different side of the city.

Visiting some of Los Angeles' most down-trodden parts, he witnessed the struggle of people living on the streets.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2425025/Homeless-Hollywood-Photographer-captures-hard-lives-humor-happiness-people-living-streets-LA.html

I commit myself to show that charity is Not the solution to homelessness
as it is being used to advertise the so-called 'charitable work' that will end homelessness
when the rest of the poor people in this world are left homeless

“It is very exciting for us,” said Steven Spielberg, project manager for Step Up on Second. “We are bringing our presence to Hollywood, and we want to replicate the world-class model we have for supportive housing for the homeless that we started in Santa Monica.”

http://parklabreanewsbeverlypress.com/news/2013/03/group-steps-up-to-house-hollywood%E2%80%99s-homeless/

I commit myself to investigate
what is going on in the entertainment industry
realizing that this is a 'fake' life

because while this so-called 'special life'
is 'reeling' on the screen of movie theaters and television screens
real life is 'real-ly' happening outside of Hollywood
as the homeless populate the streets of Hollywood
during summer, fall and winter nights

and because of the glimmering lights in Hollywood
and the red carpet covering the dust in the sidewalk
where all the homeless sleep
in dirty cardboard boxes
we as the Asian and Human foreign visitors
as the one who can afford to travel
are busy buying souvenirs and riding Hollywood buses
visiting the house of the stars
taking pictures and videos
to show others of the 'specialness of Hollywood'
seeing through our mind eyes
the glitter, the opulence, the wealth

shutting our physical eyes
to what is really going on
not aware of the dust on the clothes worn by the homeless
in the streets of Hollywood
and in the streets of Asia, Africa etc.
not aware of the noises in the hungry stomach of the homeless
as they sleep on benches

not seeing through our physical/self eyes how we created
this consequential outflow within our mind

and so realizing this abuse
we have to correct ourselves
and assist in creating a world where
all can live a dignified life

Basic/Living Income, Guaranteed

We expect that within the Basic Income Guaranteed, the musician will have sufficient income on a Basic Income Guaranteed to be able to truly develop their music and to explore building an audience that appreciates the music they create. The same will happen with the other arts in terms of painting, films, theater, literature, etc. If one no longer needs to make the music simply for the purposes of survival and you have sufficient support to truly explore your skills, the appreciation of the listener of the music enthusiast will grow substantially and we will develop a culture within our higher appreciations that will bring us a whole new era in music. All of this is facilitated through a simple principle: once each one is taken care of in their basic needs to live a life of decency, their ability is set free to find a higher form of expression.

Weight loss Part 4: Money Behind Research On Obesity: We Are Creating The Weight loss Industry

Facebook Page

MORE ABOUT RICE, NUTRITION, MONEY Etc.

From:
http://articles.courant.com/2013-09-23/health/hc-yale-gender-food-20130923_1_yale-school-health-research-men

We have this belief that what scientists say in the news, on tv etc.
about the dangers of Obesity is 'unequestionably true' and real.

This has to be investigated
as there is money to be made in most researches.

I will be looking at this in this blog
as part of the Series i started, called:

'We Are Creating The Weight loss Industry
Through Our Fear of Being Fat'

What we create in 'our within' - in our mind world
we also create in 'our without' -as this physical world - this world system of money
and this affects everyone.

Below are my commitments - or written self-correction script
where i am rewriting myself to re-birth me here as someone
who stands for what is best for all

I am also providing a solution here from an economic perspective.

Commitments:

I commit myself to

instead of believing that what doctors say

in the media is true

I can look at what is being said based from the research
and see through my physical/self eyes what is
really going on

Looking at who is financing this research

realizing that research funded by some organizations

will be biased as it will be motivated by money and profit

'Udo's project is one of four Mazure is overseeing as part of a $2.5 million grant designed to support the work of junior faculty members'

Those in power manage the content of the human mind through the media, education etc. and what they are funding are those that will protect their human rights but not human rights.

Quote:

Yes, those in power that manage the content of the human mind through media, through entertainment, through television, through education, through religion, through every means that now exist – because they are funding it and they are funding what protects their rights but do not protect Human Rights – those will be in a lesser position than where they are now but some of them own virtually the whole world! So: they’re going to have to share.

I stop and breathe through the energy of excitement
when and as i see myself reacting with excitement
when a new research comes out talking about
the latest findings in modern science

I commit myself to stop and breathe
when and as i see myself about to rush to the store to buy new
advertised vitamin supplement, healing superfood etc.
that promise health, longevity, wealth and beauty
and realize that
this is me as the personality
as the alternate version of me in my mind world
fearing death, sickness and hospitalization
that is reacting to the new article or write-up
in excitement

Who i am is here
within the body - as the breath
