Hello mgc1173,

Welcome to the forums. I read this when you first posted and sensed a vibe to respond, and I sense it flowing now.

I have several issues swimming around my mind. I just read 10/12/08 newsletter and feel reassured knowing I'm not alone in my view on the topic.
In light of many factors is my life I have embarked on a journey of Sundance, and have incorporated a strict vegan diet into this. This brings me to one of my issues: I love meat and milk, butter, etc., and feel like I have been racing around to find every imitation of my favorites as possible. My question is; are these creations any healthier that the products they replace, or am I fooling myself?
It may seem at times I am playing devil's advocate in relation to this particular subject. I am only asking for consideration here in what is flowing through.
We are only fooling ourselves when we are going against or resisting our true nature. Putting so much emphasis on our outer eating habits is one of the many outer manifesting rabbit chases and tends to cause an attachment that places a High Spiritual significance to the body being the indicator of Being Spiritual.
This does not mean that we are to abuse our bodies. It's the minds thinking this that leads us to mind swims if you will. The mind then becomes compulsive and distracting.
When we embody our forms from within. The Inner Being is sensing ItSelf or Life Energy within the form of a body.
Once this connection is realized and understood then the mind swims become less and less the more one remains in this State. Practicing the remaining in Presence is done by experiencing the going in and out of the state of awareness or consciousness. Consciousness becoming more and more One's true State of Being by choosing to remain in it more and now this Energy is what is being felt or sensed through the body. It is the other way around for those who do not yet understand this.
Any addiction is an outward symbol of not recognizing the True Inner Being and that is where the answer lies. When One Knows who One Is, the Energy of the Being raises Itself to It's true Level of Existence and these things naturally take care of themselves or fall away. It is when ones mind's is lost in thinking that they lose the sense of connection from their Being and this creates a state of body unawareness or detachment or numbing.
This is equally true of hidden addictions such as obsessing, compulsive thinking, co-dependency, control, worry, anxiety and so on. It is more difficult to walk up to someone for the first time and see that they are co-dependent for example. If they have a chemical dependency it is easier to spot unless they are what we call closet addicts however, if one has experienced it in themselves or another they can usually see the signs of an addict.
I just don't want my ego to cloud my vision and worry that my early success with realised ability may have a hubris effect on my judgment. I know Mr. Cooper has a calling here, we all have a calling, but do some of us actually have missions? Some elders where I'm from have hinted toward me doing something special, but I was very young then and thought they were just trying to make a troubled youth feel good.
We all have a purpose for Being here or we wouldn't be here. Being Special is an interesting term and one that I have been shown and made aware of over and over by my Higher Self. Understanding the difference of ego and Spirit leading.
To think I am more or less special or another is more or less special than another (aka adding and subtracting to LOVE) is separating
when the ego seeks to hide it's ulterior motive to set itself apart from all others by elevating itself from all others because of thinking and believing 'I am better than you, I am more privy to Supreme Source than you' and so on. When special is based on comparison.
Does this mean we are not to InJoy relationships that are more intimately unique than others? Special in the sense that One is Vibing with you, in equal exchange of Energy is not the same thing as separating because while it is also based on free will and choice it is also based on non attachment.
Without a need to be One with One. Based on Completeness. Freely choosing to be One with One because you InJoy One for no other reason.
All are welcomed to experience this level of Energy and have the already present Power, some choose not to and the One Vibing at a Higher Rate of Frequency does not judge the ones who choose to vibe in a denser level, because they realize that those who choose a lower or denser energy level are only doing so because they have yet to recognize whom they are. Each are free to define their worthiness by what one believes in this moment.
I believe when ones are troubled they are in a place of being reminded who One IS.
All your experiences are Spiritual because you have not ever not been Spirit Being. We just keep forgetting this and attaching labels with our minds to the experience. There is not One Being here who is not Being in an experience. As I understand it which brings me back to your first question in regards to what you eat.
When we remember that Supreme Source of Origin is Present in All forms it becomes unique for all aspects and the resistance is removed when you get comfortable Being in your own skin. One who realizes this would not judge you either way.
Just sharing what flowed here. The mind tells the body what to do until One gets back into their Presence within and from this point Lives and experiences Life as an Eternal Living Being Presence.
I hope this helps you mgc1173.
May IT be received in the Spirit with which IT is given,
In Divine Love,
