...good to see you and your constant companion, pot, still around...

for the record, i'm not a "pot smoker" if that's what's implied here. i do hold a more open mind on the subject of drug use as influenced by andrew weil's book "the natural mind." my latest dietary discovery that seems to enhance the quality of my body resonance is "apple cider vinegar", that's what i'm on if you're wondering.

anyhow back to the subject, i wonder if even through a veiled state a person can earnestly strive to release themselves from past life karma through such means as prayers of forgiveness or something.


soup aaaaaaahhhahghgaeorh!!!

soup! i just looked at what i wrote and the semantic implications of my ingenuous pot remark came out and hit me like a brick! !!oh no!!

no, good buddy, my quirky sense of humor was thinking of soup/pot..a pot of soup...i've always visualized you contained in something or the other rather than you just laying like a wet puddle spread all over the kitchen floor!

it's obvious now that i should have said something to the effect that you, dear soup, are indeed the needed balmy "chicken soup for the wanderer's soul"

can i now consider myself forgiven, patted on the head and kindly sent on my way?

maybe it was all meant to be so that the subject of vinegar could surface?

not much available from edgar cayce, but he does recommend a salt/vinegar massage.(?) he was big on food combos leaning 80% toward alkalinity --also not eating anything that didn't sit well with the body, or any food generating a negative mental attitude.

cider vinegar is considered by some to be alkaline while regular distilled vinegar is acidic. a case can be made that the perceived alkaline reaction in the body is, however, at the expense of minerals being drawn out of the body/bones to enable the alkaline balance. that mineral drain on the body could only go on for a limited number of years. in a similar fashion, lemon juice is suposedly alkaline in reaction...but it can do a number on one's teeth.

i do use organic apple cider vinegar in my diet. supposedly soaking beans in vinegar before cooking is claimed to help the later digestion. but i still have problems.

most of my food comes from a super blender. i add special mineral supplements to my "cold soup" along with some acv... hoping to make the minerals more bio-active. i also put some fulvic acid into the vinegar to help in its way to activate the minerals. (fulvic acid is a little known but very important substance)

cleaning and killing with vinegar

regular vinegar can be a big help in cleaning veggies and killing off hordes of hiding, hitchhiking parasites. (you can find more on how to do it on the net) ... after spraying with the vinegar, rubbing, etc. the proces is continued by spraying on hydrogen peroxide (drug store variety) then finishing off with a water rinse -- and if the food is not adversly genetically modified by m....o its hopefully fit to eat.

note: i'm not sure about adding baking soda to the vinegar since it neutralizes the acidity, which might end up destroying the effectiveness.(using soda to perserve coloring in vegetables does destroy vitamins.)

about the oil-pulling. (swishing safflower or sunflower oil around in the mouth, between the teeth) i don't know if it is a ploy to sell more oil, or if it really works. i can't see how it can hurt if the oil is not adulterated. yeah, i've tried it -- have a big bottle of sunflower oil next to my sink. i have not noticed any change in my appearance -- but then i could remove ten years from my appearance and still look like just another old geezer. perhaps the ritual of the oil-pulling is what is really important...positive thinking through visualizing results, or using a mantra like, "day by day in every way i'm getting better and better" (self-help therapeutic motto reccomended by emile coue ...long dead old french guy psychologist )

karma

yeah. my take on it: release from (negative) karma. forgiveness of self and others supposedly works. others may still be entangled with you to a degree,
but your attitude will be a huge influence in making it all better. i think that particular ra definition covers only one side. to whit, the ra became karmically entangled even though they had only the best of intentions toward humanity ...(no good deed goes unpunished, etc) i'm thankfull and most grateful that the ra is sticking around!
