~ We Are What We Eat! ~

(Not just for the spiritually minded, but for all humans with the desire to achieve their fullest potential, leaving a positive footprint in all phases of their lives. Be of great courage and hope – step up to the plate – humanity needs you!)

‘Like a bull in a china closet!’  ‘Slippery as an eel!’  ‘Chicken hearted!’  We’ve all heard these and more . . . but why are humans so often compared to animals?  Here is just a start of an explanation, pulled from a most phenomenal book; I’ve attached the title and link for those serious about the desperate changes needed in their lives:

“Composed of successive layers of energy from very subtle to very gross, all the levels of energy that exist in creation exist in us as well. We are actually small reflections of the greater universe. Our spirit
pervades our little cosmos, enlivening and directing it, just as God pervades, enlivens, and directs the universe.

We get these energy levels from our parents, but as we grow and develop we replace and increase those energies through the food we eat, although we receive some energy from light and air. We are what we eat. It is obvious, then, that the food we eat is going to determine the quality and condition of all the levels of our being. Our food has the same levels we do, and the different energies of the food are absorbed into our corresponding levels. Therefore, when we eat something, it not only affects us on all levels of our existence, it becomes those levels. In this very real sense, we indeed are what we eat.

Since those bodies are formed essentially from the food we eat, they will be conditioned by and function according to the kind of energy extracted from the food. 

When the energies within us are positive, they produce harmonious states of mind and behavior. But when the energies are negative, they move in a random and chaotic manner and produce
negative states of mind and, consequently, negative behavior. Moreover, these toxic energies can also manifest as physical illnesses or defects. Substances that are toxic to the body – such as meat, alcohol, nicotine, and drugs – are toxic on the inner levels as well, and their ingestion poisons all our bodies by putting into them negative energies which are going to manifest in the disrupting manner just described. On the other hand, fruits, vegetables, and grains are reservoirs of pure, basic life energies which are very light and malleable. These energies are easily assimilated into all our bodies and made to take on our specific, unique life vibrations and karmic patterns.

The effect of ingested meat, fish, and eggs on the mental and psychic states of those who eat them is detrimental to any attempts at attaining higher consciousness. It is even destructive of normal, balanced mental states for, as said above, our minds are fields of
energy which absorb the subtle energies of whatever we eat and are affected thereby. To eat meat is to absorb the mental state of the animal. (Serious psychological research is being done on this subject right now.) It is virtually the same as grafting an animal’s living brain into our brain–a horrible thought. If that seems a bit too esoteric, just consider that anything dead is toxic, since it is decaying, and therefore unfit for food. Even more, the animals are slaughtered in an atmosphere of intense fear, and as a consequence their flesh is filled with an abnormal amount of various hormones such as
adrenaline–which are transferred to us when we eat it. Even worse, today’s animals are raised on chemicals that produce abnormal growth and weight. So we are both eating an abnormal substance and taking in large amounts of artificial growth hormones and
various “wonder drug” compounds.”

That should be enough to catch the attention of the conscientious human . . . read the book from the beginning and SHARE your findings enmass, most especially with those for whom you are most concerned. Bless you for caring!
