Food – A love/hate relationship

-

The love/hate relationship of food is ageless through time in this world. Imprinted in our thoughts from the telling of the parable of Adam and Eve, could a piece of fruit determine existing in an elevated state of consciousness or deplete your energy into despair for the choices made. Yet, the same apple spoke of in this story was later to become thought of concerning a healthy choice of consumption. Our perception in valuing food as either nourishing or damaging becomes heightened through studies produced, though many times later changed. Altered perception accepted as truth.

I love (insert food of choice), is a common statement made daily in conversations about food choices and during a television show I watched today, the statement was made "food nourishes my soul in the joy that I receive." Love does nourish the soul, yet love with regrets (even in the form of food intake) soon looses the nourishment in thoughts of eliminating what has provided such joy previously. Of all the means of free will, we have available to us, just maybe our food choices do determine our own value of life. Food choices made and the choice of intake and moderation is spiritual in nature, we are what we choose to intake, with choices made either enriching our energy or leaving us regretful in doing so. Judgment of doing so is within the choices made, by us and for us.

Binge eating attempts to fill a void, with the intent of contentment when the void is filled – only later in not being contented a void exist allowing the recreation of another cycle. Anorexia, a void continues to be unfulfilled – regardless of intake, the change does not show the image. Nervous eating, more aligned to a body ungrounded and reaching to find stability at times in life when energy has ran amuck and all that is truly desired is calm.

Food groups also play a commanding hand in our love/hate relationship with food. Are we looking for sweetness in life energy, power in the proteins provided, more of an earth connection in vegetables we choose, a connection to the life force of water in the fish consumed or the nectar of the liquids of choice and desire?

Food choices continually pull our desire from outside of ourselves, into the one true part of mortality we can call our own; the body created of desire. When you look into the mirror, the image reflected is your choice and desire manifested in human form. If, through your love/hate relationship you have created with food, regardless of the image feels your heart and soul with pleasure – the right choices have been made and your soul is nourished. If this image is not the desire you intended, recreate the image of desire in new choices.

This same principle is spoken of repeatedly in spiritual conversations. Our soul is nourished in love, not judgment or meeting the expectations of another, free will allows choices and decisions to be of our accord and acceptance. We "allow" and "create" the image we choose to carry. We are the choices made.

Safety should be considered first when granting parole

-
Today the city of Kansas City, KS is mourning the loss of detective Brad Lancaster, Hearing a call for assistance he was one of the first on the scene regarding a possible car jacking and in responding was shot and killed by a man who had received early parole, serving less than a year of a sentence and released. To hear this made me sick inside, another criminal paroled only to commit murder shortly after wards. A friend of mine in 2004 was left butchered in her flower garden by a man who she had put in prison for domestic violence who had been paroled on good behavior and was seen as not being a threat to society. Both paroled by the State of Kansas early. If records were looked at, these are probably not isolated incidents. Robin left children and grandchildren in this world, Detective Lancaster left a family, and two small children as well. Anyone who has known somebody who has been murdered does not forget. If anything is to come of these tragedies I would hope and pray t

The Parable of the Fork - Author unknown

-
I first read this about 20 years ago in a email and it came back into my head today. Once read you will never totally forget as a parable is meant to be.   The Parable of the Fork There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a deadly illness and had been given 3 months to live. Her doctor told her to start making preparations to die so she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what she wanted to be wearing. The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite bible.  Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. There's one more thing. She said excitedly. What's that? came the pastor's reply. This is very important. The woman continued. I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.

Spiritual Windows – My perception

-
Spiritual Windows – My perception   I have been writing for seven years on spirituality through my website http://www.myspiritualwindows.info and in blog form, without addressing my own interpretation of Spiritual Windows. Yet, I find more individuals then ever before searching for the answer to what a spiritual window might be. Within this article, for the first time publicly I will answer that question from my own interpretation I received many years ago. Mortality chooses to find acceptance with life/death and at times reincarnation for explanation in searching beyond the known to the unknown "How do you get there?" Our world is shifting in a thirst beyond not only the written but also the evidence of the unknown. Ms.Walters segment was somewhat limited to proving or disproving the major faiths of this world such as Christianity, Muslim, and Mormon and included a very small inclusion of Spirituality and Atheists. Interesting perspectives from all interviewed, yet leavin
