Not so long ago, Father explained to us that herbs are not medicine. They are food and food is not medicine. This means that contrary to traditional lore, herbs do not cure disease. Instead, they provide the missing nourishment we need to restore Harmony in us. When we are properly nourished, disease or the unrighteous - unholy cannot inhabit us.
This is an important shift in perception. Food is not medicine nor is it a drug. We feel better when we eat that which nourishes us because it provides the "missing ingredients" that allow our bodies to function in a normal way. That is to say, it is normal to be happy, joyous, and healthy. When we are not, that is an indication of malnourishment.
In a simplistic fashion you could say there are four main reasons for malnourishment. One, you simply do not eat nutrient rich food. Two, you squander away that which you receive by giving it away unto others. Three, your resources are eaten away by the parasites, fungus, mold, virus, and bacteria that abide in you. Four, environmental pollution that inhibits proper function of your body organs and thus does not allow you to assimilate all the resources you receive.
In one way or another, in this blog and in Linda's blog we have been addressing what can be done to correct these issues.
Today I would like to talk a little bit more about food.
When it comes to food, it is important to recognize herbs are not to be seen as medicine to be taken occasionally on the onset of disease, but rather should be seen as a normal part of everyday eating. Herbs are taken to enhance your nutritional level. Those that are known to "heal or cleanse" the liver for example should really be seen as the ones that provide the nutrition your liver needs to function properly. With the proper nutrition, your body naturally restores itself to Health.
It is interesting to note that in viticulture, the notion of terroir is widely recognized. That is to say it is acknowledged that each land has its own nutrients and characteristic that impart a different taste to the grapes that grow there. Taste is really a result of the nutrient value of the food. Tasteless food has no nutritional value. Nutrient dense food has great rich taste.
What we also have to consider in this matter is that through mining we have been depleting Earth from not only her minerals but also her gemstones and precious metals. While the Knowledge that plants and humans need gemstones and precious metals to grow healthy has been forgotten, it is ancient Knowledge that Father has revealed to us early in our journey with Him. As we mine Earth, we deplete the soil, the plants, and ourselves.
The real value of gemstones and precious metals is not in them being mined and displayed in private or public treasuries / museums or hidden in deep vaults. Once they have been mined out of Earth they no longer sustain her, nor the soil, nor the plants, nor us. The real value of minerals, gemstones, and precious metals is derived from their presence in the Earth, where they sustain Earth's life and plants can transmute the energy into a form that can be received by us.
In our website, under "Food for Contemplation" we have an essay called "Food for Thought", in which we convey that organic food growing is not the end goal, but rather a step forward into reawakening to Soul Nourishing Agriculture.
Soul Nourishing Agriculture incorporates the knowledge of the real value of gemstones and precious metals in supporting a healthy nourishing environment. The answer would of course not be in mining another part of the land to replenish an exhausted area, but rather in implementing natural ways to enhance the presence of these energies in the soil. How is this done?
One simple way, which is a transition from where we are, would be to take some silver, gold, and other precious metals and put them together with crystals and gemstones in the containers that are used to make compost or manure teas. Slowly, that which was taken from the Earth is returned to her.
Another way is to look up to the skies from whence our Abundance comes. Money does not grow on trees that is for sure, but all kind of resources do fall from the skies. Gold, silver, gemstones, crystals, water and so much more are constantly carried to Earth by the solar wind. In Soul Nourishing Agriculture we would rediscover once again how to create natural environments that welcome this Abundance.
Have you noticed that when the land is let fallow it grows richer and richer each year? Obviously the idea of limited resources for which plants compete against each other does not apply to fallow land. If it were so, we would already be living in a deserted Earth.
Have you noticed that when the Earth is cultivated it becomes more and more depleted each year unless we do something about it? Obviously, the agricultural practices and crops we use are not conducive to an environment that creates / enhances wealth.
So how do we find an answer? Through the Mystical and Magical in Life.
