 Okay, here we are, Francis, Zou and I, and today we're going to talk about our recent prompts and guidances toward a liquid diet, which is kind of interesting because we just keep following our prompts and that's something that came in and something that I've been feeling for a while just intuitively. I've been having shakes and malts and green drinks and different things but yeah it's feeling more and more like to go along here. We have some travels coming up and it gives us a good opportunity to go liquid, so to speak. Yeah, I like to talk about this topic diet because it seems like there are so many questions around this topic for the purpose of probably healing of the body or for the purpose of having the body reach a certain state. I guess this is a topic that I have been investing a lot of my energy in, particularly in the beginning years before I studied the course. I remember I went into a raw food diet very fully committed, in a very fully committed way for about a year and really experienced a lot of benefit of healing, physical healing and yet when I started Across the Miracles, I realized that the goal that I had in mind was conflicting because I had the goal of having the cleanest food and had the body be healed and the course is saying you cannot have any other goals except the peace of mind. So I immediately felt that my goal was not the same as taught by the course, so at that point I thought I had to make a choice and I did. I let go of this diet, you know, the thinking and also in form as well and since I joined you, David, I felt because at that point you're the way that you have been guided till that point was it was served and it was very inspiring, you know, so I felt I was, you know, to basically do that and just follow that kind of mindset and allow whatever served, yeah, just be accepted fully and yet there is something that started to show up as an inspiration of more like toward breatharian, breatharianism and that inspiration I have to say I have been having for a long time, a long time, like I always felt very drawn to read about it and watch videos about it and was very very excited about the fact that this is true as possible and and then just about a week ago I felt just this feeling so I talked to the spirit I said why do I keep feeling this inspiration and yet there seemed to be a gap between you know what my what I eat and where this huge inspiration is and if it is truly the direction then I need support I am asking for support and I was the same day that I called you David to say you know what is that I'm you know going through and without knowing this prayer you actually said I'm going on a liquid diet and we can do it together like oh my god that is so supportive because it's hard and you also said something that was really inspiring to me you said food is like life or the egoic life it's so it's such a conditioning it's very hard to you know to go through this undoing about that area because it is directly associated with the belief that we're human beings and we need food to nurture us and sustain us and being you know I feel like I've experienced the difficulty of of even the letting go or even just to minimize it how difficult it is it's like addiction feels like an addiction whether it brings joy or inspiration the body just wants to keep going there because of the heavy conditioning so yeah it's just actually just when we talk about fasting a lot of times people think about it is not eating but a lot of times it you can bring it back to the mind level it's just part of the mind training of emptying the mind you might say and it's it's been interesting for me over the years because I did go to Australia one time and that a sira who had been through many disciplines eastern disciplines and basically lots of meditation and pretty disciplined life in her spiritual journey she she had talked to me she had kind of very specific foods that she could eat and couldn't eat which was kind of fascinating to me just because my path had always been eat what served so it really wasn't that kind of a experience I was having at the time but it was I just took note of that's kind of interesting with all her meditation this foods that she can't eat and can't eat and then then I was paired up one time another time down in Australia with a breatharian who taught alongside me and presented alongside me in one of my gatherings I don't think I've even heard much of breatharians before I met her and she did a was an inspiration of just not really taking solid foods occasionally having a cup of tea or something but basically being a breatharian and then yeah so we talked about it on and off but it seems like intuitively now seems to be coming in as a guidance so it's good even to be traveling and doing that that's a bit odd usually because hosts have they want to love you and they want to you know either cook for you or take you out to eat or different kind of things and you still have we can still do the journeys with them but yeah just kind of interesting going away from solid foods and yeah yeah that's simple yeah yeah I have read a lot about it and it's not a strange actually it's not a strange a concept or regime in China you know even growing up I've heard a lot of not normal people living in normal life of course but people who you know in different religions or if they yeah they want to achieve certain state of mind they go into a very extensive period of fasting and it's yeah it's just not strange at all and I noticed that I yeah loved read like loved reading about them and loved hearing people talking about real examples and I guess right now it's not even to achieve a particular goal like that's the main difference when I was doing a different health kind of healthy diets before it was always to achieve a goal of body being the end result you know to somehow provide health for the body but right now it's not really the goal and the goal is following I guess following the present inspiration and following the present prompt because even when I was on this full clean raw food diet for a year I noticed actually there is a plateau you know there is always a place where your body seemed to reflect some kind of healing aspect but but it's not gonna be the heal all the sick that's not the solution you realize that you know whatever that comes in the mind is still gonna be reflected in the body as a symptom regardless of what you put in your mouth it's in the end at the end of it I just realized the thinking is is actually the the cause so now you know to start to even yeah reduce the solid food intake is more around let's just you know commit to the spirit commit to the spirit's guidance and not necessarily feeling the temptation to I mean I would feel the temptation probably but more is like a commitment to the spirit yeah I think it's pretty common that people know of the the Bible and Jesus and his teachings being out teaching for days and the apostles getting kind of worried that he wasn't getting enough to eat and and he would make some comment to them such as you know I have I have I'm sustained by mana from heaven or something to that effect and and then it's interesting the word mana from heaven which is like a sustenance of food or a sustenance from heaven it's in the eastern tradition of the Indian tradition where they talk about the prana energy and and prana healing and so forth but that's almost like a synonym for the mana from heaven is the prana energy where it's sustained through through energy through light and so I have had some people even when I've mentioned breatharianism in a talk or something like that they'll say do really you really think in our in our generation that there will be those but like you say in China and different traditions it's not seen as such a far out or a lofty thing it's more common so truly it's we're just following a version of the course miracles work for less and I will step back and let him lead the way just following guidance and that's just what seems to be appearing now and so it's joyful just to follow and there's not a sense of causation with it of doing it for something else other than just listen and follow not you know we know that health is not of the body and therefore the mechanisms of health are forgiveness in the mind and purification of thought and the Jesus said in the sermon on the Mount blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God and he made some references to it's not what you put in your mouth it's what proceeds forth from the heart that's important and so yeah the focus is totally on that and it's not a dietary change or dietary goal or anything of the sort no not at all because today you said when we were talking about it you said don't eat what I eat but think what I think I guess summarizes you know I guess we're just wanting to put it out there the the guidance and share with you all but in the end we're only doing it because it came it came in pretty strongly as a guidance as a present inspiration yeah yeah somebody typed me out a little cryptic little message recently on facebook it just said eat with spirit and so really how do you do that well you you think with God you know let all my thoughts be one with God and be in alignment with God and so by thinking with God or or following the guidance of the Holy Spirit then then you might say think with God and do as you may or or watch watch the world and so that's really what this is in alignment with just a guidance or a prompt coming in and Gandhi was pretty famous too I read his autobiography and I think the subtitle of his autobiography was something to the effect of my my experiments with truth where he was always working with with his intuitive feelings and aligning and coming to a sense of integrity but in that sense he saw them as experiments I think we see him more as just following guidance and for the sake of following the guidance you know that's what the healing is it's listen and follow and be very intuitive so so it's just an interesting uh interesting watching that's happening yeah so we will be continuing on our travels tomorrow morning getting up very early to head towards England London Heathrow and then cork and then off to cork after visiting with my friend Maria Diaz and her husband and then off to stay with at a friend's house and meets friends and do a gathering up there in cork on Sunday afternoon and so that's fun and as we move along we may be just visiting people instead of necessarily doing gathering in fact we're doing with Maria we're just stopping and and visiting with her and her husband staying overnight but uh yeah so we have our opportunities to see what flows in with our liquid yeah we'll probably share along the way too if there's new topics and different things coming in for us to share with you guys and also next I do want to mention next week next Thursday August 25th we have a gathering in east Sussex England and then on Saturday we have one in Worcester they said next week or the following week it's the coming week the coming week so we get oh I think we get back on oh yeah you're right then it's another so it's the week after next yeah August 24th and August 25th and August 27th Sussex and Worcester yeah hope to see you there in England yeah okay okay happy travel sending you love bye bye
