Mind-Body-Vibration: Foods of Passion and Ignorance!

In my project named "The Asafoetida God" - I kept wondering how to explain my audience about the Taoist dilemma of Rajistic and Tamasic foods with high sulphone hydroxyl ion levels, which crosses the blood-brain barrier to kills brain cells and overstimulate the nerves system - numbing the intelligence (Mode of Ignorance: Tamas), inducing compulsive and violent behavior (Mode of Passion: Rajas)

REPLACE OINION AND GARLICS WITH ASAFOETIDA

In the Mode of Goodness all is clear! The mind is at its best and open to peace and liberty.  It opens the heart and compassion to our fellow human beings, other lifeforms -even alien lifeforms, the planet etc.

Planet Earth deteriorates due to Tamasic and Rajistic action of war, pollution, disease, animal cruelty & species devaluation.  Sexual action does not rely on increased blood circulation - it still forms its nature by the shape of the mind! if the mind has violent thoughts then sex becomes violent.


Anyway! a creative vegan cook found a very innovative way to create "Garlic-less Garlic toast" Italian style. He sliced the baguette in 2 inch slices, dipped them in Asafoetida tainted olive oil, then did a second dip in the freshest Italian dry spices and then placed them on a rack in the toaster. After 20 minutes, anyone could savor it next to the barbeque tofu and veggies! Awesome!

The Sattvic celibacy practitioner is not necessarily an abstainer, but someone whom sees the act of sexuality as an act of creation.   A good thought engaged with procreation!

LAW OF ATTRACTION - BEATING Motivational Deficiency Disorder

So far I've learned that the disease of Sloth was a Satanic biblical citation of malnourished people from the mid-ages in Europe.  It may have been caused by severe oppression from political leaders of those historical times or mold or virus.  Who knew?!!Only that Satan and his demonic friend have gotten hold of you.

The most possible explanation of Sloth in the world of Esoteric Sciences is a lethargic condition created by the mind's negative . It's like a frozen computer, a brain drain caused by energy drain, loss of Pranic energy etc. etc. etc.


I had to defrost myself from a life-long sloth of disbelieve that I cannot be this or that magnificent person with abundance, wealth, good health, successful career, kin, love etc. etc. etc.

Any good spiritual science will explain that the ego and material existence is illusion, either good or bad.  It becomes bad if you are drifting from your own spiritual identity.  

But why does one tend to become lazy & lethargic after one has convinced him/herself that one cannot succeed. Succeed in illusion of matter? For real??? Is my life real???

Then when people become motivational driven - the question arrives: selfish??? or with compassion for others??? 

At the end the final question arrives: what is the ultimate goal of the Universe and how am I participating in this as team-player.

Now here it is.......

Mind, Body & Vibration - The spirit of Compassion!

On the motionless concrete spiritual scientific level all ethical reasoning -guided by the intellect - has no "mojo" of the heart - it becomes merely "dry philosophical" debating.

When some asks this question: "how many levels of spiritual levels of development are present for humans?" - the most common Christian or Hindu/Buddhist Guru will say: Knowledge, Moksha (Liberation) & Love.

As we look at ourselves as humans and view others thru the primary bias of race, sex & species & secondary thru creed & economic status - our choices of actions have direction.


Three intertwining notions dominating our existence as humans:
1. Free Will
2. Equal Vision
3. Compassion


As Reiki healer I had a heated debate with another Reiki practitioner on twitter about whether one should ask permission first of the person whom to send Long-Distance healing to or not!  Mine argument was: if you meet a person dying on the street, do you ask permission to help or not or do you just act?!
Reiki is Universal Prana energy already flowing thru all life-forms. The person who acts on to send healing intentions to another sick person acts on the spirit of compassion.


In aiding in our feeling of compassion, "equal vision" becomes the perception that NEUTRALIZES bias in the intellect.

what do you think!

Mind, Body & Vibration - Sex in the Single City

Early this Tuesday morning on June 12, 2010 -as I exit the Manhattan side of the Queens Borough Bridge, I passed by the homeless man with his two dogs: one a gray hairy Sheepdog and the other a grey-black Labrador Retriever.  In fear for the animal's well-being, I kept wondering if I should contact the Animal Rescue. But then I had second thoughts: it would be brutal to separate these dogs from their loving homeless owner.  The fact that he's still able to take care of them and these dogs are still looking well fed and healthy, did block my action to react according my own concerns - yes they are "my" concerns, not his.  As a Reiki Healer, I sat in a corner a block away from the homeless man and his two dogs and send the healing Intention symbols to them to find a better and healthier living situation. I figured that this man is not welcome in shelter because his love for his furry companions!

After I send Reiki healing, I spend a few moments to myself and reflecting on "my" own emotions, how it upsets me as a single women coming of age within this City.  I looked at the people passing by, some women like me - marching to the drums to their workplace, checking their cellphones.  What is life offering to them?  Being half unemployed and half self-employed myself after quitting the additional weekend job at the animal clinic - I am going back to my "Task-Rabbits" freelancing student life-style.  What does career and employment for a woman lead to if it doesn't end or go along into motherhood and wife-hood?

A woman's passage of rite is automatically submitting to motherhood. That's what's being a woman is about: nurture! One of my "chore-bunny" friends took up motherhood and she's doing well.  Despite the difficulties of premature childbirth, she still took up the breast-pump and worked its suction and breastfed after the baby came out of ICU. Even after 14 months have passed, she was still able to sell excess breast-milk to those mothers who tried but couldn't breast-feed their own little sucklings. Gotta make sure to be HIV negative to sell breast-milk.  A membership to the 'Mommies-helping-each-other-club' is useful.

So Far I haven't mentioned Daddy's input!!! Just the contribution of Daddy's seed is not enough! Having had a life as Daddy's Favorite girl (both my sister and I were Daddy's girls) I would not miss the chance of the presence of a father.  Even though, single parenting is not considered malignant, my personal & traditional cultural values and ideas dismiss it.

I hope to write more.....

The perfect cereal for the Modern Urban Yogi!

Many choices of cereal on the market today!

Basically! Back in the 70's and 80's - I grew up eating cornflakes, porridge or a sandwich for breakfast.   My palette memory was limited with these choices! I did not live in the American culture back then, but still modernized with access to processed cereals. I did not know even what a muffin was. I was more exposed to a grain type of diet such as rice and barley. After moving to the United States, I still ate occasionally cornflakes and skipped the fruity/chocolaty kids cereals. Years past, and sandwich was still my favorite breakfast and somehow I had adapted to a bagel eating culture.  After the millennium, I started to become "gluten" conscious.  Like many Americans and immigrant Americans, I experienced a bloat in the stomach after eating wheat-products, realizing that I had switched from a grain oriented to a predominately wheat diet. I noticed how fast I un-bloated & lost a lot of water weight after doing a gluten-free diet for a few weeks.

 For a while I ate gluten-free pancakes made of chickpea flour, or ate corn-tortillas, never ate a "wheat-bran" anything. Then got lured back into processed gluten-free product and noticed that the water weight slowly became replace with real belly-fat.  Finally, I started to read the labels differently looking at the "starch" and "sugar".  Some cereal product mention that the sweetener comes from organic fruit juice.  But in case you haven't noticed so far...glucose, not matter from where it comes: is as good as belly-fat.

Me at my best after a wheat-free diet!

The questions rises: what is the difference between gluten-free and wheat-free? 

When choosing your breakfast cereal consider the following:

If you don't have Celiac Disease, you more then likely have just wheat-allergy - you don't have gluten-allergy. Go wheat-free. You still have access to grains that are wheat-free but not gluten-free are for example: barley, oatmeal, spelt & rye. 

People who have wheat-intolerance but have no gluten-sensitivity can still benefit from eating gluten-free grains because these are automatically wheat-free, for example: Quinoa, Amaranth, Rice, Garbanzo flour, cornflour, buckwheat, millet etc. - which are all wheat-& gluten-free.

still confused? Then I should stop here immediately!

Till next time.....

Mind, Body and Material Vibration!

Knowing that I have to further my education at Cornell University Veterinary School, I have been procrastinating a lot in order to take that step to the student adviser.  Even writing my goals down on a piece of paper -just the worry on how I will be able to afford this financially frightens me, the loans I have to take, how to keep my credit afloat etc. But then I realized the feeling of being frightened all the time paralyzed my abilities to achieve.

By reading, attending healing workshops & being spiritually active- I realized that achievement happens only when you set your mind to it.  In a Law -Of-Attraction workshop, I learned to "cancel" all negative patterns and thoughts that came up and resulted into self jeopardizing in reaching those goals. Even after bringing my mind into stillness - I even deeper consulted within my inner heart, even connected even deeper to the Super Soul and kept wondering: what is going to give me peace and happiness.  How can I be and still not have this understanding of my existence.

How does inner wisdom come to oneself? What is real happiness? Is it general for every soul? And I went on and on about this soul-searching quest.  In how many levels do I exist! Why is my mood good one day and bad another day.  Why do I feel dread observing one situation while it doesn't strike a nerve with another individual. why this? why that?

It's true that humans and humanity are internally very complex beings! After a long soul searching journey, I've learned that it is important to keep your tummy full and a roof above your head.  Some of us seek a community, others want to be aloof.

but I leave you readers with this thought........!

 till next time.....
