Return Path to Eden
Diet for a King
A great discovery: our cornucopia.

Recently,
a relative asked me for advice about finding a higher paying job, as his financial
responsibilities were outdistancing his income. Below is the reply I sent to him (revised & edited). It’s about diet.
Part 1
Hi,
In response to your question about your money
situation, I do have a suggestion.
There is a secret that few people know, but those who know it are very
successful. It's all about the secret link between a person’s pleasure
senses and his cornucopia.
Everyone has a cornucopia (Always having
enough). The concept of a cornucopia is basically "always having
enough” food, housing, clothing, health (freedom from sickness and accidents)
and peace of mind. The secret link (which few people know about) is
this: The more you gratify the appetites of the body, the more
difficult it is to find the aperture to your cornucopia – enough of all the
necessities of life. The less you gratify, the easier it is to find
all these things, and more.
If you want to attain the happiness and satisfaction
that is available to you (through this knowledge) you have to begin with dogged
determination. Do not try too hard, though. Set your sights high,
but not too high. If you set your sights too high, you will experience a
brief period of "having enough," but you will then "go on a
binge" and you will suffer awful consequences. (I know.)
Here is a plan (based on knowledge I have gained
through years of trying). If you adopt this plan and stick to it, your
financial situation (and other aspects of your life will improve markedly –
including your health!) This plan is
best suited to you, at your current level of development and
will-power. It's difficult, but you can do it.
The plan:
When you awaken, have two pieces of toast with a cup
of tea (peanut butter and jelly on the toast recommended – not butter or
margarine). The tea should be mildly warm, not hot – no lemon.
You will have three more meals throughout the day –
small ones. (Space them out evenly, so that your 4th meal of the day
is about 2-4 hours before going to bed).
I suggest the following: Two of the remaining meals will be exactly like
the first one – toast and tea (or water, or a very mild juice – like apple
juice – warm; tea or water is best though.)
The other meal should include something to aid the
movement of food through the intestines. I have found that a small
serving of mixed vegetables works well (steamed or canned – warm, no spices).
A sprinkle of raisins mixed in (or separate) is beneficial. If this diet is too bland for you, try a
little soy sauce or grated Parmesan on the veggies. (No onions or garlic or pepper.) (Avoid Pizza.)
No sweets, except the jelly on the
toast (or honey instead of jelly). Avoid, at all costs, meat, fish and
milk, as well as ice cream (sherbet) cold drinks, hot drinks, carbonated
beverages and anything that strongly stimulates the taste sensations (like
vinegar or lemon juice). Avoid candies
and cakes, and of course, alcohol. Just do the best you can.
(Nothing between meals)
If you stick to this diet, you will notice (in about
3-4 weeks) that your disposition and outlook on life will improve greatly (i.e.
you will feel happier) and the solution to your problems (all of them)
will begin to magically appear. I'm speaking from experience. (Few
people are privy to this knowledge – this is the secret access to one’s
cornucopia!)
If you persevere, you will notice that your need for
sleep will diminish markedly. Use the
extra awake time to get things done, and to meditate.
good luck,
Love,
Mike
P.S. Avoid excessive sexual stimulation. (I recommend abstinence.) (Another hint: brush your teeth with soap, not tooth paste) (Part 2 below)
Part 2
The following may be out
of reach for you this round of earth-life, but just for your information:
The person who can adhere to a regimen of just one
meal a day (of a very bland diet – like bread and water, with honey and
nuts) gradually discovers he is free from sex desires, and needs almost no
sleep at all, and he then discovers that he has broken free from all carnal
appetites (and all carnal illusions) and he can learn to walk on water; and if
some misguided fools decide he is worthy of being tortured to death,
they are unable to lay a hand on him, unless he chooses to hand his life over
to them, in sacrifice. Furthermore, He feels no pain as they carry out
their murderous plans, and He can self-resurrect. He doesn't have to wait (any more) for an opportunity to
reincarnate.
This diet plan, and comments, are based on my study
and contemplation of The Aquarian Gospel, the book
written by Jesus.
hear the sounds
of silence: “The kingdom of the soul is like a treasure hidden in
a field which one has found, and straightaway goes his way and sells all
that he has and buys the field.” (AG, Ch. 116) Sin is
self-indulgence, gratification of the carnal desires. “He who sins is
slave of sin.” He who finds the
treasure and buys the field is no longer slave, but is free.
