Simple Nutrition Notes | Eat From The FieldInnerperspective Interconnected

Food Fight #61

From the list in Food Fight #59, I can now see, the focus should not be on avoiding carbohydrates (Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen). I should consume them. This is accomplished simply by eating natural carbohydrates from natural sources by eating food from natural sources. The further away from the natural, the further away from being food, the item becomes, thus less beneficial and more harmful.

I must not approach nutrition as a bunch of individual nutrients, but rather as a community of nutrients. Any individual food that is grown in a healthy community is good. One of the goals must be to raise my own food so this can be accomplished. This is the hardest part and the easiest part. The hard part is simply placing some seeds into soil. The easy part is building a community, supporting a community and participating in the benefits.

This list attempts to bring individual nutrients back into the community so their identity and function do not overshadow their upbringing.

A Theme To Remember

Although the Creator makes it easy for me to do what I need to do, “easy” does not mean, ”without effort.” I must follow directions given through natural world examples and all other ways of knowing.

What Does This Mean In Terms Of Physical Nutrition?

As the ancestors have explained, “eat from the field.”

It means nutrition can be met if I give my body the pure, natural, alive elements I am made of.

As I do this, then my ancestors (DNA genetics), the neters (elements) and the universal community inside me (probiotics and others), who have been working together to guide me in the first place, will continue to do the rest.

First I must understand, if I truly know the Highest Power, my value system will complement everything that connects. Then I can rest, assured, from all false notions. This will allow me to avoid, the unnecessary dichotomy of whether or not my body can make certain nutrients. If I was living a consciously connected life, I would not attempt to be head strong (mind-centered) without being spirit strong. This would help me avoid being information stupid and following psuedo-scientists.

Justice Rising To Restore Health

Those who have moved beyond Giri So can see the beauty of the coming of Goddess Maat. Her measuring out of justice is built-in to natural processes. Though we think we continue to progress as we continue with this madness, once we consume anything, we no longer have control. Our body's systems and whatever we have consumed, either get along or engage in battle to the degree they are not complementary. Damaged and dying cells are the result of this ongoing war.

This example applies to all unhealthy things consumed. The unhealthy can only exert itself for so long, until the automatic justice restores equilibrium.

The death of the body is one of the ways, the natural world restores balance. It is nature's way of saying, if the natural cannot be maintained while in human form, then this form will be decomposed so its components can exist in their original form. The natural loses battles but not wars. The natural world will forgo humans for the sake of the planet, the bigger, more important entity and Ancestor.

If the Creator can overcome Yurugu/Ogo, then Earth can overcome humans. Since in both instances, the weak thwarted the strong, these two natural world examples foretell justice rising.

By matching my body to the natural, I will be in a healthier position to avoid the wrath of this justice.

An African Safari In The SpiritsphereAnother Transition, Another Extension

The Journey Continues

Karibuni! (Welcome!) This blog is, and always has been, an African safari in the Spiritsphere. I just was unaware of this piece of information. This blog is for Africans, i.e., everyone. This blog is for those who do not consider themselves African but conduct themselves open-mindedly. My position on those who consider themselves non-African, yet open-minded, is this: All information points to human origins in Africa. A search of “Africa” on this blog alone should provide basic information and links for those who are just now hearing everyone on the planet is an African. To deny the likeliness of the truth of this information contradicts open-mindedness. It contradicts intelligence. Also search “history” on this blog for a more accurate perspective of Africa.

Complete perspective change for some things doesn't happen in a day. It's a process of transitions and stages, so come along anyway, unless your denial of Africa is a conscious or subconscious hatred for Africa and all things African. This would mean you hate me, our mother, our people, our Creator, humanity and you hate yourself. This mentality means you exist because of yourself, in and of yourself and by yourself, so work that craziness out by yourself.

If your denial of Africa and all things African comes from a place of fear and uncertainty because your identity might not be what you thought, then come along. We're going to work our way through this healing and revealing process. It is better to be previously lost than currently lost. The only way to change our lost status is to take steps. The steps we take on this journey can move us into a new awareness of who we really are. We will not be able to find what we are looking for in this life until we find ourselves.

Onward The Journey

The purpose of this journey is to find reconnections. It is also to find the other end to what resonates within. It is the path to oneness. Join we, if you realize, by necessity, there is no going forward without going backward. Sankofa!

On the way, we must travel through trees, webs and all the elements. As you can sense, this is not a tourist trip but a warrior workout – an all-in, all-within fight to set things right in the Spiritsphere. As such, we will learn to remember, stretch, break chains, retrain and do better thangs - as we learn and know better. We will grow beyond our self-imposed limitations acquired during years of mis-education. We will need nutritious relations with foods for every aspect of who we are. We must remove toxic relations. The willfully sick are not fit for this trip.

The self-determined will reconnect as we are doing right now. Right now, we are connecting to our created greatness in the nearest and farthest reaches of the Spiritsphere.

Join we, if you realize, by necessity, all roads back to oneness lead through the teacher within us – spirit of the neteru/nature. We must face it, embrace distanced truths and shake loose dangling lies until ancient roots harmonize.

We must travel back through self, through ancestors, through history, into Africa and into the Cosmos. We will retrace the same path blood and spirit still take to get here. The path is well-marked. The map is in many places, even encoded in our genetics 10,000 times over.

We cannot miss our destiny nation. We won't miss it as long as one foot follows the other and one hand joins the other in all right doings.

The Creator Is Expecting Us

The Mother/Father Creator is waiting for the prodigal ones to come home now. Big Mama/Big Papa have left the lights on. The lights will not go out upon this Earth until we arrive at the sun station. In the meantime, two more of our elders in the celestial council are taking their turns upon thrones of heaven.

Humanity will be reunited with or without you or me. Humanity will be reunited during the lifetimes of our children and grandchildren.

What will we do to prepare them for a very different world in which the most important things today will become the most trivial things tomorrow? This must come true otherwise the Creator becomes as counterfeit as authentic legal tender.

Family Relationships | Why Things Fall Apart And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8j)

Read Part 8i - Definition | Consciousness & Communal Family Values And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8i)

Values Keep Families Together

Part 8f reminds us learnderstanding is affected by all information we encounter. If we live amongst worldviews and values that conflict with ours AND our family's values have lost their cohesive and corrective nature, the only possible result is what's happening now - the foolish notion that each individual can pick and choose their own set of values and still achieve family Umoja, Ubuntu and Harmony. This is an impossible task, just as it is impossible for each person, community, county and state to choose their own set of values/laws and a nation remain united. Things must fall apart and be chaotic along the way simply because there is no harmonizing set of values.

Falling Further Apart, Moving Farther Apart

Without communal family values that come from the same worldview, Creator-given potentials and possibilities of individuals and families will be influenced towards altered paths and outcomes. Greatness will be based on human limitation. For individuals and families without a central identity of unifying values, things will fall apart and be chaotic.

Value of Religion

Views on spirituality, creation and religion are significant factors in relationships. Since the powerful influence religion has on decisions and learnderstanding is well known, religion has been and still is being used as servant/tool/weapon.

”The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.” - - From Things Fall Apart (1)

A la Carte Value Menu

This is why, “we all can't just get along,” not even in our families. Individuals have their own set of values that have been pieced together from several worldviews. For most individuals who take the scattered path and piece together their worldview from a menu, their list of values usually contains contradictory items. We pick our own poison. Under this scenario, since no two people have the same set of values, the genetic zipper that brings two people together, and allows them to work together for the greater good of themselves and all else, gets stuck and snagged in several places.

To solve this frustrating problem, that same ol' knife of separation offers itself again to cut, once and for all, the ties that bond us communally. The knife wielder's sharpness and swiftness of action slices away the principle thing which is awareness of the sensible thing - the necessity to repair the problem with unifying values, especially the welding iron of wisdom. (The reason this knife works so well to separate people is because it has already weakened the connection within individuals that unifies the four aspects of mind, spirit, body and emotion.) This has been accomplished by interfering with nutritional factors. It has nothing to do with cleverness and everything to do with deceptiveness due to spiritual weakness which then weakens the other three aspects of self.

Finding Lost Nutritional Values

Falling apart can be traced to a lack of many things such as intuition, wisdom, female elders, male elders, remembrance of ancestors, connection to our natural world family, historical context, nutrition, awareness of truth, self-study, good habits and other basics that contribute to knowledge of self. Finding lost values is as easy as replacing what we lack on this list. Finding lost values is as hard as lacking the will to go through the processes.

Just Say “No More” To Mis-Education

If our communal family is not self-determined/governed, we will encounter tons of information from different worldviews that is likely to go against communal values. This information will come from legally required school curricula, churches, media, entertainment, government, social customs, practices, traditions and from anyone who swallows along. We will be forced to cooperate with unhealthy values and abandon healthy values or else be subject to penalties for not drinking the juice that corrodes the insides of communal bodies.

In summary, whatever is not based on our communal values or does not blend harmoniously with them will work against us and work to separate us from our values, our family and ME. This is the mis-education Ancestor Dr. Carter Goodwin Woodson warned us about.

Related Proverbs:

It is unwise to expect unity, yet agree to disagree on core values.

Follow no one's advice unless you also follow their values. Fully consider the advice of anyone who shows love for you by their repeated actions and treats you as family.

Related Quotes:

A good home is a place where individuals are seeking their fullest selves and supporting each other in those pursuits. It is a foundational place based on knowledge of self which helps clarify self-worth and all else worth having.

If we do not develop a greater awareness of motion and resources, we will be limited by the illusions associated with time and money.

Illusion expects things to get better without applying resources towards the process to get better.

Thinking, Becoming, Connecting

I am not a performer of poetry. Heck! I'm not even a writer or a poet. Many times, saying so, seems self-indulgent. I am someone who uses writing, poetry and short stories hoping to encourage thinking, becoming, connecting.

As I sat on my couch, I had a long conversation with the Spirit. I said, “I've been waiting all week on you to tell me what you want me to say. I've already said it with this book, website, blog, journal, articles, conversations and examples.

And the Spirit was like, You finished? Say it again. Would you go to your fields in Spring and say bring forth yams and corn because you have planted and harvested before and past seasons live in your memory? Say it again. This time I will open the way just as I have caused words to sprout and provided fields for planting.

If that feels familiar, we are in the right place.
