These are all related to superficial judgments on appearances which is a reflection of mind bias. I think Ra was talking about something deeper, related to the function of the body itself.
Superficial judgements would be addressed in balancing the mind, but I was suggesting that perhaps we don't fully appreciate or understand the body of others, and how that may effect consciousness. I don't know really.
Quote:But the body functions as a receptor in this manner only for unprocessed catalyst (unconsciously). What generally causes the diseases is simply ignoring feedback, which would otherwise serve to balance, while one's life (body/mind) entropy continues to build. Carl Jung actually observed the (hazardous) effects of ignoring catalyst as well and wrote about it many times.
I agree, but additionally if we're moving into a reality where more is revealed, interaction with the body may become much more pronounced and catalyst would be more directly experienced and immediately known in the physical sense.
Thought is going to carry much more weight. So for instance, a rejected opportunity for acceptance may literally induce pain/discomfort/weariness in the body. This would seem to be a fool-proof system for the harvest. You would either be able to process the catalyst coming at you and not feel discomfort as the dial is turned up, or there is simply some kind of resignation or retreat.
And the antithesis of this, the negative polarity would absorb and derive pleasure from the pain of others as it's projected onto others..it's their picnic.

I'm not unhealthy, but I am feeling the pull to respect my body more. I'm going to focus more on my diet especially.
