F.: So, to review:

1. Contrary to "government recommendations," there is no single food plan that is "best" for all humans;

2. Three different body types exist and each type requires a different food plans if the body organs are to functioning optimally;

3. If the specific food plan which each different type requires is not followed, then the organs cannot function optimally;

4. Physical body organs that are under-nourished will negatively impact the mental and emotional states of persons in spite of all their Advaita work, their religious work, or their spiritual work;
5. There is no such thing as a "spiritual diet" and religious or spiritual advisors who dictate one food plan for all persons are revealing that their dietary demands or recommendations should be ignored;

6. Advaitan protégés or any other persons can undertake all of the self-improvement efforts or SELF-Awareness studies or religious work or spiritual exercises they want; however, if they do not address this fairly modern problem of the bastardized food supply and its link to the bastardization of the body organs, then those persons can experience one or more of the following: restlessness, irritability, dissatisfaction, depression, OCD, bi-polar conditions, anxiety, an inability to differentiate true from false, and many other conditions. In the past, all of those conditions could have been addressed via the re-purification of the consciousness that the Teachings provided. Now, a new element has been introduced onto the planet—the corruption of the food supply. Since the body is a plant food body, then the Teachings must evolve to address holistically the varied components of the predicament that humanity now faces in the relative existence. Why?

7. Science has proven that there is a physiological component--as much as a mental component--that determines how humans think and emote and that can affect the level of sanity or insanity.
8. The manifestation of consciousness happens in association with a plant food body. That is all this “space” is: constantly-"renewing," constantly-cycling groups of elements through which oxygen cycles and which provides a “vehicle” for the temporary manifestation of conscious-energy. That conscious-energy supply is also cycling as well, being replenished constantly via consumption of plant food (or via consumption of animals that ate plants). It is the combination of plant food being cycled, of oxygen being cycled, and of elements being cycled that sustain the plant food body. But if something goes wrong with the supply of plants, then how could something not also go wrong with the plant food body and all associated with the plant food body? It is a given. If an interruption of the plant supply was able to wipe out the dinosaur population, imagine the effect on humans when the quality of that plant supply is interrupted and contaminated.

9. Since this physical space is the “vehicle” that allows the consciousness to continue to manifest for a particular period, that plant food body would seemingly warrant some consideration, relatively speaking. Unfortunately, among persons, it is given far more attention than warranted in terms of the seeking of relative existence gratification and far less attention than warranted in terms of care and maintenance. WHO cares? some purists may ask. The response is that behaving in a constructive fashion is far more in line with sane, AS IF living than destructive behavior, relatively speaking. So what has “gone wrong” with plants that has now caused this need for protégés to process considerations that were not even an issue in the past as far as the plant food body was concerned? Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued]

Five Free eBooks

Compliments of Andy Gugar, Jr.,
the following eBooks are available without charge for you or for friends:

I.
"GOOD vs. EVIL?" or "IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY, and INSANITY?"

The content of this eBook deals with one of the most common but erroneous beliefs that the non-Realized masses cling to and which they will fight about (and even kill over), namely, that there is a planet-wide duel going on between “the forces of good and evil” in the universe.

Either (1) the ancient view is spot on: that the "ills of the planet" are rooted in evil people, in people not being religious enough or spiritual enough, and are caused solely by bad morality; or, (2) the "ills of the planet" are rooted in ignorance, stupidity and insanity and "being good" or "being moral" does not put an end to ignorance, does not eliminate stupidity, and does not treat insanity in any way.

II.
"THE VISION"

Comments regarding the free eBook entitled “THE VISION”:

“My thanks to you and Andy.” – Andrew “Mac” McMaster

“Thanks so much for the book! And, by the way, it is brilliant and the most effective pointing that you have done. It has served to help clear the remaining blockages.” – Stan Cross

“Greatly appreciate having “THE VISION” added to my Henderson resource library that is situated on the right side of my bed for easy access! Eternally grateful for what was received and what was given.” – Robert Rigby

“‘THE VISION’ is such a well-written, condensed version of the Nisarga Yoga approach to understanding and enjoying Reality that I feel it can serve as a must-read ‘meditation guide’ for all earnest seekers.” – Andy Gugar, Jr.

III.
"Sapolsky, Maharaj, and the Non-Dual Teachings"

Dr. Robert Maurice Sapolsky is an American neuroendocrinologist; a professor of biology, neuroscience, and neurosurgery at Stanford University; a researcher; an author; and a Research Associate at the National Museums of Kenya.

There is much that a non-dualist or Advaitin or Nisargan can relate to by comparing and contrasting what Sapolsky reveals about the way certain troops of baboons live in Africa with the way that humans abide all around the globe.

This 152-page eBook catalogues the common, non-dual message shared by Sapolsky and Maharaj and reveals the ways that Sapolsky’s scientific research supports the non-dual pointers offered by Maharaj.

IV.
Seeking

In “PART ONE” it will be seen that most persons on the planet are not seeking, and most will never seek, but for those who are seeking, most will face several obstacles:

In “PART TWO” of this book, it will be seen why many criticized Maharaj for “changing his message in his later talks.” It will be seen that the changes were not about changing the message per se as much as about changing his methodology as he experimented with one version of the Ultimate Medicine after another in order to try to find an effective means for addressing the Ultimate Sickness.

He tried a religious version of the Medicine, a Spiritual version of the Medicine, and finally settled on a version which addressed to Sickness at its core . . . at the mental and emotional level.

V.
"THE MOST DANGEROUS BELIEF OF ALL"

“Dangerous” is a term that can only apply during the relative existence, but of those who do commit suicide, for example, how many shoot themselves in the foot over and over until they “bleed out”? None. They shoot themselves in the head. Why? In order to try to stop the noise - to try to stop the chatter of a thousand monkeys – to stop the noisy mind which is the area that stores the ideas, notions, concepts, mind-stuff, etc. which drives them into the depths of insanity.

And what are those ideas, notions, concepts, etc. called, collectively? "Their beliefs." The irony? They are not their beliefs at all. They are the beliefs of “others” that were set in place via programming, conditioning, etc. and which persons then think are their own.

And what are those beliefs rooted in, and what reinforces those beliefs and convinces persons that they are sacred and worth fighting over and even sometimes worth dying for? Blind faith.

This 337-page eBook discusses those issues in detail.
