In regards to eating meat

[Tenet Nosce]

That's an excellent idea! I like it. The food may be a comfort food, or have an emotional association, or whatever.

Thanks!

At that point, they may still uncover a physical addiction.

That is a very good place to start from! Now again... ask why? Is it really just chemicals in the brain? If so- how to recreate the same chemical response without the addictive substance? If not- then what is the addiction really about? What purpose does it serve? And how can we serve that purpose in a healthier way?

But, that still doesn't address the physical addictions. I contend that if someone decides to just 'listen to his body' while physically addicted, the body is of course going to tell him that he needs that cigarette, that drink, or that candy bar.

Ah- but there you have it! Does the body truly say... cigarette, drink, candy? Or does the mind interpret the craving to mean these? I propose the latter.

That could be very dangerous for someone who is trying to get off some addiction. What if we told the heroin or meth addict to 'listen to their body'? Would that work?

It could- if the above is taken into account. Is the meth/heroin craving really about meth/heroin? Or is that just what it appears to be on the surface? If our "addiction cure" is focused all around the meth/heroin... the substance rather than the purpose... is that perhaps reinforcing the distortion which resulted in the addiction in the first place? Are we then at cross-purposes to ourselves?

Once the body is free of addictions and chemical poisonings, sure. But while still in the midst of those things, there is a 3rd person in the middle - the 'spirit' of the addiction so to speak. Ask anyone with a drug habit. An addictive drug is like a demanding mistress. Food addictions are no different.

Not to downplay the intense struggles that drug addicts go through, or some of the other examples you gave... but I've used quite a number of substances along the whole spectrum. Never had any of these severe withdrawal symptoms. Why is this? Is my body "special"? Do I have a "non-addict" gene? Or is something else going on?

The body was telling them to drink soda!

What I am suggesting is that "asking why" will eventually lead one to the realization that the body is not really asking for soda... it is asking for something else which can just as easily be met by a non-soda item.

Yes, it is common knowledge that cacao beans have health benefits. But it has been determined that this applies only if it's raw and organic. There is such a huge difference between raw, organic cacao and the chocolate in a Snickers bar that the alternative health community has adopted a new name for it: cacao to distinguish it from cocoa.

Right.. which is why I used the word "cacao" instead of chocolate. I agree with you, but your response is tangential to my point. The point is... what is naturally present in the coffee/cacao/tobacco that is driving the craving? What function does that serve? And can we serve that function in a better way.

Now tobacco. Can you please clarify? The way you worded it, you seem to be implying that the nicotine in cigarettes outweighs the risks. But I know you know that isn't true, because if ever there were conclusive findings about risk to health, it's cigarettes!

No, not the nicotine! The beta-carbolines! It is a different chemical. I'm just trying to say... NOTICE... how hardly anybody knows about beta-carbolines. We hear all about the caffeine, the nicotine, etc. Why no talk of the beta-carbolines? There is plenty of research on them.

As I said before, beta-carbolines are what enhance the effect of DMT... and DMT is what causes us to feel that sense of interconnectedness or "spirituality" that we seek... indeed the seeking of this feeling is at the very root of addiction, IMO.

Therefore... why so quick to label these things as "bad"? Is there an agenda behind this? Perhaps to keep us from understanding something important about how the body works? At the very least, you must admit that humans have had a very close relationship with coffee/cacao/tobacco throughout our evolutionary process. Is there a reason for this other than "addiction"?

As a side note on tobacco. Yes- we have undeniably conclusive evidence that smoking has deleterious effects on the body. However, two questions I have about that:

1. Were any of these studies conducted using all-natural, unadulterated tobacco? Or were they done using processed tobacco laden with all sorts of artificial chemicals?

2. Why is it an "all or nothing" thing when it comes to smoking? Why only the checkbox? Smoker or nonsmoker? Black or white? Does a person who smokes three all-natural cigarettes a day really carry the same risk of one who smokes a pack of Marlboros? Why the oversimplification? Is this really a truthful/responsible communication coming from the medical community? Why not two boxes: fried chicken eater or fried chicken non-eater?

We all know that Ra didn't demand anything. But I don't think that can be used as a justification, as in, "Ra didn't tell the Egyptians to quite eating animals, so it must be ok." Did Ra tell them to quit fighting too? There are myriad things Ra might or might not have told them. I don't see this as relevant.

You brought Ra into the discussion, now they are irrelevant to it?

It's a taboo because it's rooted in STS. STS magickal ceremonies have often relied on blood sacrifice, because they get power by dominating (to the point of death) the victim. AND, because the dead body still has trillions upon trillions of various microbes, available for the taking. The STS 'black magician' can now feast on these lower 2D entities, and get them to do their bidding.

Now, we're getting somewhere!

A 3D physical vehicle is much more complex than a plant. It's not just a single entity, but houses an entire population of microbes. So killing an animal isn't just about the animal's individual soul, which has been dominated. It's also about the huge population of microbes now in need of a new master.

Fascinating! But... plants have symbiotic relationships with microorganisms as well...

This is, of course, in addition to the fact that the soul of the animal has already exited, so it's no longer alive, in the sense that the animal has gone. The only life there is the microbe population, which is busily at work taking the body to a state of decay.

And yet the body requires this "decay" to occur in the gut in order to support life. A paradox!

To be clear: I'm NOT in any way assessing YOUR guidance. I'm simply sharing what I have concluded about my own guidance.

I understand that. And thank you for respecting my guidance system.

LaTuga is one of several medical researchers at Duke working with microbial ecologists to study the development of the human microbiome—the enormous population of microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that live in the human body, predominantly in the gut. There are 20 times as many of these microbes as there are cells in the body, up to 200 trillion in an adult, and each of us hosts at least 1,000 different species. Seen through the prism of the microbiome, a person is not so much an individual human body as a superorganism made up of diverse ecosystems, each teeming with microscopic creatures that are essential to our well-being

Yes! Do you know this is nearly all I work with in my practice? And I didn't set out for it to be that way... I started promoting as weight loss, hormone balance, and infertility... the universe brought me people with gut issues.

As far as STS entities using lower 2D entities (microbes) to do their bidding, Ra said that. I'd have to find the quote.

The 2D entities can use us to do their bidding as well. Research has confirmed that gut bacteria can actually influence our personality, resulting in behaviors which we might not otherwise participate... including food choices.
