Nowadays there's much talk about becoming more health conscious. This has risen to the point of talking openly about colonics. Obviously there's no limit on what we'll discuss so it's past time we begin talking openly about cleansing our minds of television content and similar toxic influences. These influences have made us catatonic in spirit, catatonic in analysis and chronic in self-harming behavior.
This becomes even worse when we overindulge in television and/or use television as a main source of information. Both are huge mistakes. Those of us who have followed this series of articles on the topic of television are now more aware that television presents more misinformation than information. Even so, our minds will receive it and sooner or later, believe it. This is why TV repeats it. A misinformed mind will become unhealthy and an unhealthy mind will continue to operate in that state unless it is cleansed of the falsehoods that cause self-destructive behaviors.
The appropriate response to self-destruction is self-improvement. One way to approach and achieve self-improvement is through the concept of nutrition.
Iron deprivation actually reprograms the metabolism of the entire cell. Without this nutrient, there is a complete reorganization of how cellular processes occur.
If this is the result of the lack of one physical nutrient, imagine the effects on the brain and thought processes when we don't get mental nutrition. Imagine if we lack both physical and mental nutrition. Now also imagine, if at the same time we are also exposed to toxins. It won't take long for health to become impaired. Thus thinking will become impaired because the brain is unable to function properly in a low nutrition and/or toxic environment. Since the brain can't do its job, choices and decisions and behaviors will be negatively impacted. It is difficult to escape these outcomes once the conditions are in place. It's impossible when we don't know this is happening or we refuse to do any type of self-assessment.
Self-improvement starts by doing what we can do on our own. Stop the inflow and exposure to toxins by turning off the television and keeping it off for longer and longer periods. Stop paying the pusherman by canceling cable and satellite programming. Strongly consider getting rid of the mostly destructive device altogether.
After these steps, even if we don't know what else to do, where to start, what to think or how to feel about certain aspects of life & existence, we should be able to improve our physical nutrition, mental nutrition and spiritual nutrition.
No one can manipulate us when we have nutrition. Nutrition helps us discern information. Nutrition strengthens all senses. The presence of nutrition and the absence of toxins is the basic formula for health, and of course, success.
In order to be properly functioning living beings we must have properly functioning genetic instructions. Nutrition feeds our cells, thus it feeds our DNA. All forms of nutrition feed our cells and our DNA. What we learn goes into and is recorded in our DNA. What we think comes out of our DNA. These genetic instructions play over and over again. All of our physical responses, mental responses, emotional responses and spiritual responses are predictable because genetic instructions repeat. Our DNA is the backbone of patterns of thinking and patterns of behavior. Significant and sustained change must be recorded and repeated by our DNA. This is only possible through processes that provide nutrition and avoid toxins. We can do a self-colonic of our minds by cleansing it of one of the toxins we are exposed to – television content.
The hard drive of our minds came from the manufacturer – the Creator - then our parents, family, friends, teachers and many other influences started sending information to our hard drive. We can restore our minds to original factory default settings by using the master programmer – spirit. Spirit is the professional we need and is freely given as the the average person's expert and personal assistant to life & existence.
We must once again practice being spirit listeners. Once we allow the voice, teachings and guiding influence of our expert, our spirit and our professional to start reawakening the correct programming, then more and more things that are toxins to us will become easily detectable. What will we then do?
Once we begin to get professional help to cleanse our minds, this proper programming will help us avoid the common mistake that comes from an automatic emotional reaction. Our now healing minds, will no longer be as susceptible to emotions that hinder self-improvement. Thus our minds will seek truth and not seek to find fault with the messenger in order to justify ignoring truth. We will accept truth even if we don't like the truthbearer. Our minds will no longer be susceptible to believe hyped up emotions that are fearful.
Wisdom is spiritual intelligence. When we compare wisdom to human-conferred degrees, we will always respect knowledge that comes through spiritual intelligence, that is, if we have cleansed ourselves of harmful viruses. The ability to have humility provides the blessed awareness that spirit knows more than even our ancestral brains contain. If we are to be better and do better, we must always defer to and always confer with the elder spiritual aspect who wrote the programs that run the universal ecosystem.
The natural world context can help us once again start receiving the guidance, instruction and advice on life and existence. The natural world is the default spiritual teacher. Communing with these ancestors can restore our programming to the correct Telepathic Vision that is also Total Vision.
I asked for blessings. I prayed for help. I prayed for health. I asked for money and other such wealth. I forgot to pray, not even “by the way,” for knowledge of self.
I was caught up in my sleepiness by a golden stork. Its rainbow-tipped wings touched both horizons. It balanced itself in this fashion and we were suspended, motionless above and below multitudes.
I was shown two people in the lower portion. I watched. I soon tired and asked again for blessings. I was told I would be returned and awakened immediately if I answered one question correctly.
”But what about my blessings,” I asked again? Clarity will bring blessings I was told. If I did not answer correctly, I would be returned but even more distracted and more sleepier.
There was a long silence. The rest of the conversation took place within. During that time, I paid closer attention to those two people.
I noticed they knew each other and were both following the same religion. One of them had "recommended" the religion to the other, yet did not have values as the religion. Their words, actions and relationship were incongruent because they were trying to communicate using different definitions. Though they used the same words, they had very different meanings. Only one of them knew it. “Something is seriously wrong here,” I thought.
Now soul satisfied that my reflections had led me to the critical thought, the question was provided. “Which one is foolish and which one is deceitful?”
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7 KJV Bible)It takes more than “early to bed and early to rise” to be wise. We must strive towards our better selves. Wisdom requires us to analyze experiences and information. Once we place these thoughts into our basic mind, we must listen for the spirit mind's response. We must listen with all senses. Often, this process, even as it relates to the same experience and information, takes time, quietness, stillness and more living. Sometimes we can sense a general spirit response in our body. Positive or negative feelings come over us or in a part of the body (usually heart, chest, lungs, throat, head, stomach, back, legs, muscles). Here is where we must be careful. Sometimes this feeling is telling us what is good or bad for us and sometimes it indicates an area where we need to grow. Intuition and wisdom require us to make changes. In our quest to become better listeners and followers of spiritual guidance in the form of intuition and wisdom, we will learn more about ourselves and how to be a human being and spirit being simultaneously without compromise. Since both intuition and wisdom require us to grow and keep growing, our lives will get better because we are devoting our resources to changing for the better by moving towards alignment. Once again, food, a resource, plays a major role in our ability to make use of the powers of intuition and wisdom plus have that love & happiness we seek.
