Three Kinds of Food

The "Fourth Way" talks about the three types of food - regular food, air and impressions. Maybe the most important thing to learn is how to eat and that the first lesson might be that everything is food. The only difference being HOW you eat the particular type of food. For example, a rock is not really food you eat but through your eyes you can derive some energy from looking at one, touching one, playing with one or even thinking of them. Some have some beautiful colors, etc. Not everyone knows HOW to eat for different reasons. Some possible reasons depending on the person may be:

1) Guilt of being "worthy" enough to "take this life" for "my own benefit". We might say "how dare I!"

2) Beliefs such as the above OR that certain things are alive and other things aren't thereby making it okay for those latter things to be eaten. (But, if everything is food then this logic is invalid).

Another belief could stem from religion. For example, if taught that killing is wrong then one might feel guilt of killing ANYthing. I know of people who are starving themselves in non-physical ways. Weak people. Some of you might observe a negative emotion associated with anyone calling out ANYthing as what it is. That's a clear sign of ahampered ability to eat. That is a limitation. What's an ultimate thought? Death. Can one swallow the food called "I can't die because I am Love and Love can't die?" It's a belief. Can one eat a belief? Well..the answer is yet another belief.

I'm gonna try swallowing that one; I'll let you know how it went.

In other words, there is nothing that you can't swallow. But, you don't always believe that you could swallow that particular thing that you WON'T swallow. And so you continue on in a LIMITED fashion.

  1. at risk of being redundant the issue seems to be of consumption and the levels of food that can be eaten. deeper food or surface food. skimming the surface vs mining for gold. But, need to not feel guilt or weakness in this mining or aversion to having an impact.
