  • The Hidden Knowledge on Food and Lifestyle Skills

    The Hidden Knowledge on Food and Lifestyle Skills

    Is There a Link Between Food Habits, Meditative skills and Self Control?
    (Detailed article by Swati Prakash)

    We live in a society in which people can at times harm each other and various innocent animals and are often unable to change own behaviour. The reason some people cannot control various sexual or violent urges or are aggressive and dominating could be the same as the reason they have stress and anger issues. High cholesterol and eating the wrong foods.

    Eating animal products and more processed and fattening foods makes you have a poor sense of control and self discipline as your blood flow is erratic. You also become hot headed and easy to arouse and cannot think properly. Such people may also lack intuition or an inner sense of right and wrong, or empathy and a sense of how others feel. Their hormones take over and testosterone rises whether as adolescents or grown ups. They also might lack a moral capacity to choose right from wrong.

    Intuition and empathy are the least developed of all traits in most people in the Matrix, and so are magical skills and mind power. A typical human has become a mundane and materially enslaved person than one with the right amount self control and spiritual power to direct and channel their own energy.

    A normal human would be repelled by ugly pornographic images and horrific violence but these people like negative, cruel, horror films and dirty images even more. They also are super crazy for food as of they live to eat. Gluttony is a trait they have and are infact proud of. They do not think of other animals as persons but as food and this changes everything. Even upon watching documentaries such as Dominion on youtube, dark minds justify violence as they are slave to habits.

    They react lashing out or upset very easily or can be controlling towards others but lacking self control. They also seem to be unable to stop, look within, self reflect, attend to the needs of self and others and to understand things wisely. They keep exchanging rude messages, bad comments, argue irrationally and talk negatively. They also like dirty jokes, f words and rude slang as well as dark and sarcastic humour. Some are also are in codependent relationships and rarely happy in silence or alone as they need others ‘badly’. Mental health problems are commonly found as people are unable to find own peace and are not taught self healing skills. If medicated they are fully dependent on the medical systems and lack freewill.

    It also gives people poor hygiene sense if the eat animal products. So they have a bad stomach and gut making them irritable…as well as bad smelling bodies and a lust for secretions such as animal muscles, animal flesh, bodily discharges, mayo, cheese, filthy runny eggs and strong smelling milk products. They also like foul odours, sweat, high calories and strong flavours such as bacon, pepperoni, sweets and chillies.

    All these are either called Tamasic foods (death and negative energy causing) as well as Rajasic foods in yoga (that attract more aggressive beings).

    Tamasic foods and behaviour are linked to causing unconsciousness and depression in ourself or others while Rajasic foods cause dominating and angry behaviour.

    The right food is Sattvic or Healing in nature. Sattvic food is our true food as humans. We are not carnivores or even omnivores. We are herbivores related to other primates that are primarily Frugivore.

    Sattvic diet and lifestyle is totally formed of a healthy plant based, less processed, and less heavily flavoured foods and a clean, hygenic and sensible lifestyle of moderation and ethics.

    Even after going plant based or vegan some may struggle for a few years trying to control a lust for physical bodies and secretions and pine for similar items instead of healthy and whole foods and raw foods, and may display anger or irrational behaviour.

    This is because food plays a key role since our birth in shaping our personality and also our DNA over generations. If we are in a heavy animal eating culture since childhood we are prone to having it also in our DNA in our value systems and prone to imitating others such as family members who have extra aggressive behaviour traits. Social conditioning is also about valuing an aggressive dominating personality of those who win and succeed in physical and outer life rather than the more inner and softer attributes such as empathy and sensitivity. Trying to be like a carnivore or cruel, physically more ruthless, trying to tell others what to do and not being able to respect their valid opinions or thoughts may be part of this.

    These are all aspects of a social system that teaches people that muscles, physical body, aggression, raw power, sexual prowess, and lust are the only good things ever as it helps people sell them all kinds of material objects instead of focusing on what is within…our innate spiritual or inner power to create reality.

    Very few cultures are truly spiritual. Most are fear based (deity oriented and external focused on books, myths, personality figures, and stories) rather than on a focus on developing your own personal inner powers.

    There are two key solutions.

    1. Teach people how to control their own mind and body, breath and energy levels, and to relax or focus thoughts as necessary at will.
    2. Teach people to control their lust, gluttony, and greed for food, sex, outside things, trying to possess humans or control other animals. We can be self dependent, healthy in attitude and have inner peace.

    Without teaching some form of mindfulness, inner self reflection, meditation and a focus on inner self and inner magical power we have a lower chance of helping others transform their habits and behaviours. They will just imitate what they see around and be unable to think and reflect or display understanding.

  • The Meaning of Postive

    We often use this term Positive and its counterpart Negative

    What do we really mean by positive and negative?

    “There is nothing good or bad – but thinking makes it so.” How true is this statement?

    Is it necessary for the world to have a balance of Positive and Negative, Good and Bad?

    Is black and white, dark and light, bad and good the right terms to use for Negative and Positive?

    Is Yin and Yang the same as Negative and Positive respectively?

    Is ignoring or suppressing negative energy the right thing to do?

    How can we really be Positive? By saying positive things alone? Or is there something else to it?

    Today let me clear all these doubts.

    Positive and Negative, just like plus and minus are two aspects of energy.

    At one end is the plus or positive energy.

    This is energy that helps us progress on the chosen path, towards our life purpose.

    At the other end is the minus or negative energy.

    This is the energy that takes us away from our chosen life purpose or path.

    What is our life purpose? This is for all of us to individually ascertain via meditation and intuition.

    It is necessary and urgent that you discover your life purpose now.

    Without it you will not even know what is negative for you and what is positive for you. Bring some meaning and direction into your life. You can take a reading or consultation for intuitive guidance with an expert if you are unsure of how to arrive at your life purpose. Numerology, astrology, tarot, angels and gods/ goddess will help you in this quest.

    If you are just going about the daily chores of mundane life without looking within to find your life purpose you are wasting time and this is definitely negative energy as it is blocking you from going on purposefully on your life path.

    Good and Bad, Positive and Negative are therefore things that support or hinder your life purpose. 

    It is necessary that you manifest Good and Positive things and Banish Bad or Negative things. Things can be good or bad, positive or negative for you and this is relative as far as your individual life purpose is concerned.

    As a soul group or for mankind or earth as a whole, we also have a divine purpose or mission. Therefore there are good and bad, positive and negative for us as a whole too. Universally good and bad exist clearly as Love, Joy, Happiness vs Hate, Sorrow, Unhappiness. Choose to Harm None.  It is not just thinking that makes it so. Its not all relative. There is universal good.

    It is not necessary for the world to have half bad and half good energy. There can be a supremely positive world. There is. This is called Satayuga where everyone is true, ethical, positive and magickal. There is no fear or harm in this world. This happens when everyone is fully awakened and conscious and this is possible. Let us find this within to manifest it around.

    By the word ‘balance’ we do not mean a balance of good and bad, positive and negative. Balance of Yin and Yang, dark and light refers to the Invisible and Visible aspects of reality – namely Spirit (Yin, goddess or dark) and Matter (Yang, god or light). This does not refer to bad and good at all. This only means that where there is matter there is also spirit. Matter being the visible side of reality experienced through our senses and Spirit being the ethereal or subtle vibrations of the inner world. Balance means that we are in tune with our spirit while being in matter form – that we are directed by the Spirit or Divine self in all our activities in material world. This is one hundred percent positive and good in every way and there is no place for negative or bad in a world which is in balance.

    So how can we Banish the Negative and Manifest Positive?

    First – Your intentions need to be divinely guided. Take an oracular consultation from a spiritual healer and intuitive expert or find your inner divine guidance after doing adequate inner work. This will help you define your purpose and choose the right intention. This also defines what is negative or positive vis-a-vis your life purpose.

    Second – You need to banish all those energy vibrations that take you away from your divine and noble life purpose. Remove Tamas or inertia or negative behaviors. Thoughts and words are only some of those vibrations that you need to work on. Banish negative from all sources including the books you read, the movies you watch, the food you eat, the objects you keep, the things you think about, your feelings, your desires and of course the words you use as well.

    Third – You need to manifest and amplify positive energy vibrations that help you attain the divine balance of Spirit and Matter, Yin and Yang, Goddess and God. Bring in Sattva or  goodness with purposeful energy and actions. Choose positive books, movies, foods, objects, thoughts, feelings, desires and affirmations.

    This is the meaning of healing.

    Spells are a wonderful way to create this change inside and around you.

    Spells are ways to banish the negative and manifest the positive. Spells are done only after proper intuitive consultation.

    Once you cast a spell you set the wheel of your life in motion, in congruence with your Sattvic or True and Positive life purpose.

    Go ahead and let the Magick begin.

    Blessed Be

  • Your Magickal Body, Mind and Spirit…

    Your Magickal Body, Mind and Spirit…

    Is our body a prison for our soul who craves for freedom and liberation?

    Is the mind a hindrance to spirituality of ‘no-mind’ consciousness?

    Should we let go of our physical selves to attain spiritual growth?

    Is our physical existence on the planet a burden for the earth to bear?

    Is sexuality something we should reject to attain spiritual growth?

    Is vegetarian diet more spiritually positive or ‘sattvik’ than a non veg diet?

    Are we guilty of harming someone if we consume other organisms for physical sustenance?

    Moral dilemmas of body versus spirit and the physical versus spiritual have been commonly experienced by many of us at some point of our life. Religions and spiritual traditions often preach specific ways of living all different from each other. While it is good to respect every religion and their unique belief systems, it is even better to look within and find what is right for us at any point of time on our spiritual journey.

    Many of you might have learnt that physical body is like a cage and we are here to attain freedom or liberation from physical existence, reincarnation and karmic cycles of life and death. Life is all about suffering according to those who believe in somehow escaping this physical world for a better ‘spiritual’ reality. In truth we need to be happy to be alive, there are plenty of things to be grateful for and to enjoy in our physical existence and it is perfectly alright to take incarnation. We are all seeing, breathing, experiencing on behalf of the divine self. Every experience of life is dedicated to the divine self which is our real truth. The divine wishes to have a physical experience through us and therefore our physical life is as much divine as our spiritual existence and as much worthy of celebration provided we are aware that every physical person or thing is all an aspect of our divine self being manifest on earth.

    We are spirits who have taken a physical form. Our spiritual body has condensed into a physical form through the power of our thoughts, emotions and actions all collectively being our karma. Through positive thoughts, emotions and behaviors we create a positive physical experience for ourselves. There is absolutely no need to fear physical experience or try to escape it. The purpose of spiritual growth is to manifest our divine perfection on this earth. It’s a magical truth – As Above So Below! It is tempting to escape physical life and dissolve into a spiritual vacuum of ‘liberation’, it is more meaningful however, to project from our divine spiritual state into the worldly plane to heal, improve and perfect our reality until we mirror our divine perfection into our outer world. No matter how perfect and wonderful our inner truth is, it stays neglected just keep it within ourselves and do not allow it to seep into the outer world and create beauty, love and happiness all around. So if you are closing your eyes to meditate please do open them and radiate the power and peace around yourself as well.  That indeed is the way of the wise witch/ wizard.

    Meditation is all about going within our-self, from outer to inner reality, from mind to ‘no mind’ state. For a witch or wizard the mind is not something you wish to shut down and leave for a higher ‘no mind’ experience for good. The no mind state of meditation helps you be aware and detached so that you can experience your true self. You can then once again travel into the mental plane so as to create and manifest the universe with the power of your mind and thoughts. The spirit within will give energy to your thoughts, your will, your emotions and your behaviors so that you live a truly spiritual life while remaining in physical form.

    In the first stage of your spiritual evolution you will go within, learn the inner truth, meditate and witness your inner divine self. This part of your spiritual journey entails that you detach from the outer physical experiences, mental thoughts, emotions, feelings or desires so that you can be truly still. Asceticism or monkhood with various austerities and self discipline is preferable for this part of your journey. Without this you will continue to be engaged with the outer world and will find no time to go within. You must in this first stage of your spiritual journey be prepared to be ‘the hermit’. You are learning about your own inner self that was neglected during all the centuries of materialism. You are getting enlightened. This is the Meditative part of your journey when you go from outside to inside.

    The second stage of your spiritual journey begins after you attain this unity with your inner divine self. From here on you will think divine thoughts, feel divine emotions, your will be one with the divine  will, you are a living incarnate divine being teaching, sharing and enlightening others and at the same time healing, creating and manifesting divinity on earth. This is the Magickal part when you go from inside to outside.

    As With-in so With-out… As Above so Below!

    Your physical existence is no longer a burden for earth or your-self.

    You can be not only aware but also alive fully as a divine being while remaining in physical form on earth, living, breathing and creating the divine will in every moment.

    Every experience you have then has a divine meaning to it. You will find meaning in every small flutter of a wing, tweeting of a bird, rustle of a leaf – which is the essence of divination. Messages are found in everything around, not just in the stars, cards or teacups.

    Your words are all powerful tools of manifestation, so are your thoughts, emotions and desires. You will choose them all wisely. You are no longer a passive experience gatherer but an active divine creator. You are a healer – your mind directly affects your physical body and all your situations. You can do magick and spells with every breath, every thought, every word and every object.

    Your sexuality is nothing to fear. No longer does it take you away from your spiritual path, because you are now allowing your spirit to act and interact with the universe, not just going within but also experiencing the universe as a divine manifestation of the spirit within. As your sexuality is divine you are much more responsible with your sexual self and less interested in polygamous or meaningless relationships and prefer to have a healthy and committed monogamous romance with someone who is compatible energetically. Homosexual or heterosexual, transsexual or transgender, in any way you express your sexuality there is no sin as long as you Harm None including yourself. You may also choose to have one or two healthy off-springs so that you can provide them due attention and love, including adopted children who are treated at par with your biological children. You will love to include animals, plants and crystals in your family and treat them with as much love as your other family members.  

    You may no longer feel guilty of consuming food as long as you are aware of the sacredness in every object you are consuming. You will see and sense the life force flowing through everything. You soon realize that everything you consume is meaningful and is affecting you and your life. Just like you add ingredients and herbs to your spell for specific effects, your foods also create a constant change, known or unknown to you. While some induce consciousness, some attract abundance and health, others induce lethargy, dullness and harmful addictions. To love yourself in totality and to create health and beauty is a noble and positive purpose fulfilled by what we eat among all other things we do.

    There is absolutely no need to feel very guilty if you are non-vegetarian for there are plenty of animals who are purely non-vegetarian such as cats, big or small and it is absolutely a part of nature’s plan to have this type of a healthy balance between herbivores and carnivores. As regards ‘harm’, both plants and animals have feelings and sensations and if killing an animal is an act of harm so is killing or mutilating a plant. However the meaning of harm is better understood with the idea of ‘intention’. As long as your intention was not to cause harm to the plant or animal that you were consuming it is not really a harmful act as far as karma is concerned.

    Eating is less about taste and more about whether the food is healthy or unhealthy. To be really healthy food must be cooked as little as possible or preferably eaten raw. Naturally ripe fruits are the best choice while non-vegetarian items being less healthy and difficult to consume as raw could come last on your list. After all most of us as modern humans no longer have those sharp canine teeth or wild hunting instincts as some other creatures of nature do.

    Perhaps consuming of ripe fruits is the best of all food habits compared with having leaves, stems, roots or animal meats. Plants give us the fruits naturally as they fall when ripe and this includes many vegetables which are technically fruits. As we consume the ripened pulp we can scatter the seeds or plant them into earth thereby helping propagate the plant. In case your land is not as fertile or wintry and consuming of only fruits and fruity vegetables is not quite easy for everyone, other herbs, plants and animal meats would be the alternative as long as they are fresh and grown, treated and cooked in a healthy manner.

    However if you regularly meditate you might find that sattvik foods appeal to you – and you will understand the meaning of sattvik as healthy foods which are natural, pure and fresh organic food items consumed with awareness of their meaning and impact. Adding of too much salts, sugars, flavors, spices is rather unnecessary in a sattvik diet as you will begin to enjoy the original and natural flavors. Spiritual beings are much more sensitive and feel taste much more strongly than those who are engrossed in material existence. The less you think and the more you spend time in inner silence, the more satisfied you will be with your natural and raw fruity diet. You will enjoy raw and fresh food which is coarse or whole and not finely chopped, ground, juiced or mashed. You may add mild salt or sugar and healthy herbs such as sage and rosemary in your food which could be lightly steamed or saute at the most so that the vitamins and minerals in them are not lost due to boiling or cooking. Plenty of plain water will replace your needs for alcohol, caffeine or carbonated beverages.

    Life is your ritual. Food is your offering. Your body your temple….You are a Divine God(dess).

    Live consciously.

    Blessed Be
