Be careful to use in safe quantities, too much can overtax the body - In homeopathy a small amount is used to stimulate organs. In pure state we're supposed to eat less and less. The food should stimulate the natural flow of energy from our chakras of Alpha and Omega to nourish those organs. Food in itself alone is not what causes us to be lightbearers, it stimulates so the descending energy can sustain the organs. Food should be chewed at least 25 times per mouthful. Yogis know the movement of the jaw stimulates the raising of the kundalini fire. The chewing process is also stimulating the production of saliva which is alkaline, mixing the saliva with food gives the balance for digestion. Adzuki beans, for example, must be chewed one hundred times. Brown rice 50 times. It is a wonderful meditation on the absorption of the consciousness of God. When we do not absorb our food we do not absorb the vital nutrients - the consciousness of angels and elementals in it. There is a consciousness behind all food brought to fore by Sanat Kumara, endowed with life by Elohim. In America(the intended Guru nation) we're accustomed to seeing a rebellion against the Christ - most apparent in the false hierarchy religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. True religions with false hierarchy behind orthodox versions. True teaching's fire is not desired by the leaders as it would give the followers their independence from their leaders. Just like with white bread the nutrients have been stripped. False hierarchy versions of the seven rays are in use. With refined food you have the breaking down of the components of our reality. Showing that at all levels we take the trouble to assimilate the consciousness of God we assimilate in our mouths. It is a very sacred event when we come to eat - all food is holy. When you know what you're eating and what it is doing and how it relates to the organs, e.g. Taste foods(Burdock root & toasted seeds) + grain(corn) + vegetables(leaves in large expanding growth -Collard, Bokchoi, etc.) - all fire foods affecting the heart and small intestine. Meditation on building inner line in heart area and small intestine - sending energy consciously to that area. Heart at heart chakra, small intestine approx. at solar plexus. Violet flame allows the chakra to release the energy into organs whereby they have the health and strength to derive the nutrients from the food.
Organs have become lazy through processed food and not chewing. Best way to heal them is to liquefy our food in our mouths by chewing. Saliva one of most sacred parts of body. Jesus healed with it. With this substance you are sending healing to those organs. Holiness of food makes one feel back in Eden, it is like manna/ angel food. Try to eat alone so you don't have to think and talk in place of belly to digest, thereby assimilation is higher. We enter nature and lower forms of life are raised, prepares them with consciousness of Christ for day they're endowed with threefold flame. Always eat with great giving of your life and receiving and assimilation. If you eat this way you'll find great peace coming upon our community. We are often very hungry, desires are active. People tend to look at food and criticize it for its sameness or this or that. It is very important at meals for us to be grateful for it and the gift of life in it and us and contemplate what a miracle it is that food is before us and how many hands and elementals and angels and planetary evolution had to be gone through to produce food that is precisely suited for the body we are wearing. Peace is very important for the healing of the body. We don't have to be totally silent. There are times between mouthfuls that were talking about things. It is a communion of hearts that can very profound if not covered over by loudness or complaining or bringing of problems to table that makes it very hard to digest food. We used to request people to bring precious gleanings from Pearls of Wisdom to table so a little talking can have people focus on the marvels of statements and the joy of dispensations. Politeness is to prepare topics that will have beneficial effects on people at table and will draw everybody into that experience. Eating has always been a social experience. The way to commune is in the Teaching. Often you remind of important teachings. It is a responsibility to contribute. You initiate a love spiral in the time between chewing. It is extremely impolite to pile up your plate to prevent not getting seconds. That causes digging into food. We need food that is good to look at. When you have too much food you're body elemental is already getting indigestion - it has a childlike heart. If you're taking something new, take only a small amount. Never throw anything away, at the community you're fined a dollar if you do. Liquefied food is absorbed immediately by the body, solid food creates problems in the bowels. When we waste not we want not and we all have karma for the waste of energy - whether light, electricity, water, heat, talking too much, idle chatter instead of serving God. Never throw food away. Food on plate has an Alpha-Omega spiral that is not completed if you don't eat it all - this goes for a spoon, pot or plate.

You can have violet flame crystals, statue of Mother Mary, tape recorder & rosary in kitchen when cooking. You can taste this high vibration of the cook. Don't eat food that has been amidst discord. Mothers must insist on peacefulness. Don't ever discuss weighty problems before dinner. Their energy is low, pause for digestion after food and then discuss problems. Never try to settle problems when your energies are low. Unfortunately problems seem bigger at that moment. Decline to talk about it until after meal. In many families this makes a big difference.
