The End of the Beginning of Change

Each and every one of us is given a second and third chance at bettering ourselves the moment we wake up in the morning. Not all of us are conscious of the fact that we need to change. Many of us seem comfortable with not eating or sleeping properly and often suffer from different kinds of addictions. It is sad to think that much of our own behaviour is what harms us in the long run. Nowadays, it is considered the norm to negatively influence others or to somehow self-destruct. For example, there is a long list of appealing foods that we share and consume daily and that we wrongfully consider to be clean and sufficient energy. Aside from alcohol, drugs, nicotine, caffeine, [artificial] sugar, and [unclean] meat; there are other unrealized contributors to our poor physical and mental health. If we eat poorly at the start of our lives and continue on throughout life, we begin to mentally and physically deteriorate as we age or grow older. We do not always connect mental and physical illness with hatefulness or poor diet since most of us are in denial that we eat or think poorly to begin with. Our organs (especially the heart and brain) are made up of extremely sensitive tissue that is highly responsive to the food and liquids that we expose it to. If we continually abuse our bodies with “foods” or substances believed to be harmless but are in fact harmful in almost every way, we easily develop discomfort or disease without logical explanation or obvious reason. It is usually ignorance and denial that causes or protects illness and disease since sickness is a natural result of constant or subtle forms of self-harm or attack. If we are equipped with a basic or fundamental image of how the multi-dimensional body works, we are not only able to comprehend how unclean food threatens our well-being but also how pure and natural food (and water) heals and restores the same. It takes time for disease to manifest or form in the same way that it takes time to rejuvenate and heal. To begin, we shall first refine our understanding of what is healthy and what is not.
