For months I have been silently concentrating on getting my weight below 200. Although I have brought my average weight down by several pounds, I have broken the 200-pound barrier only once, and then shot right up again. Today I thought to ask what’s going on.
205.5 at six a.m., and for the first time it occurs to me to ask, is there a reason I can’t get to the weight I want to be? Is there some reason I need to be at a different weight?
I don’t know who[m] to ask, so I’ll throw it out for anyone who can help. Is there a reason why I am held to a weight above 200 pounds? Or, if that’s too big a question, what are the factors in play?
Weight is not the issue; a percentage of body fat is. Just because you don’t want the necessary factors doesn’t mean you can perform your functions without them.
I get from that that a certain percentage of body fat is needed almost as a battery, to deal with the energies I deal with. I that what you mean to say?
It is what we just did say. Your body operates as a shock absorber, to some extent. A thinner body has less – well, let’s begin again.
Obviously it isn’t as simple as “a certain body type or shape, or a certain percentage of body fat is needed in order to be a medium, say.” If it were that simple, wouldn’t everybody know it? It would be in the folklore.
Bob Friedman pointed out years ago how many women were hefty who did this work.
But then there is slight Jane Roberts. And it isn’t even proverbially true among men. Edgar Cayce, for instance. So as I say, it can’t be that simple, even if you were to regard these as exceptions.
All right. So?
So think of the variables involved. Different body types, different mental types (some sluggish, some hyperactive, and anything between). It isn’t only your health that is a ratio between mind and body, it is everything. In fact, that is the same thing. Looked at one way, you are describing health of lack of it, because that is what you are concentrating on. Looked at another way, the same data can tell you things about proclivities, aptitudes, dis-abilities (not meaning handicaps, here, so much as anti-abilities, areas of least aptitude and skill potential).
So if you are looking to find aptitude for mental communication with other beings, or shapeshifting, or sorcery, or ultra-rationality, you could find it if you knew how to read what you received.
I’m hearing that someone with one type of mind and body – no, clarify, please?
You know the conventional wisdom of the four body types and the diet best suited for each. Well, you could know it. You know of it.
Yes.
It isn’t understood very well yet, but the gist of it is that different blood types require a different mixture of nutrients to function at optimal capacity. Is isn’t quite thought of that way, but that is about what it amounts to. This may be regarded as fine-tuning an engine. No, that’s too crude an analogy. Think perhaps of the training table in a sports establishment, where the gladiators are fed steaks rather than, say, a vegetarian diet. A certain diet for a given body type maximizes effect and minimizes internal friction and unnoticed continual adjustment.
Rather than use the actual blood types, let’s use the non-existent types E, F, G, and H. Otherwise there will be a theoretical danger of someone applying an example as if it were a prescription.
Suppose blood type E. it has its specific requirements for optimal functioning. But it is not the only variable involved, or there would be only four types of people in the world instead of the multitude actually in existence.
And those other variables are?
Nationality, for one, or rather ethnicity. Blood type E in a Chinese lineage will not be the same – that is, will express differently – than E in a lineage from an Incan, say, or an Italian.
Again, if things were that simple, different ethnicities would have different blood types and they would be incompatible. That just is not so. But it does not mean that the ethnic heritage of a given body is a matter of indifference in considering the expression of the blood type. Again, type E will be different depending on which genetic markers it interacts with.
Similarly, mental acuity, or perhaps we should say intensity of natural focus. By this we don’t mean the ability to focus on any given thing, nor, quite, the intensity one can bring to a subject. Rather, it is the natural, resting-state, degree of intensity in the mind under consideration.
Somebody probably has made a study of typing of mind, but I don’t know what it would be.
Of course you do. Astrology, for one. Any system that attempts a comprehensive description of humanity is going to have described different kinds of minds. However, it may not be described or thought of as such.
Astrology would look at Mercury in Leo, say, and say the mental characteristics will be thus and so.
Exactly. Regardless of attribution of cause, description of result. Well, Mercury in Leo will express differently in an Irish type E than any other combination of the three variables.
But – is there any such thing as an unmixed ethnicity? I’m 100% Italian, ethnically, but what does that mean really? If you go back far enough, surely every possible ethnic strand is intermixed, despite dreams of “racial purity” or “pure whatever-ness.”
Of course, but note:
- Any given person’s ethnic mix will have a different composition, but most will have a dominant strain.
- It is the very richness of ethnic heritage to choose from that allows individuals to take what they need. This is the converse of an individual taking on a hereditary disease.
So, as opening gambit, consider the mixture of blood type, ethnic derivation, and what we might call environmentally-allowed factors – that is, the range of possibilities allowed by the moment of one’s birth. We have not yet begun to explore the effects of choice and lifestyle and diet and other more behavioral factors, and already perhaps you can see that the situation is a little more complex than it might as first seem.
I thought I was asking a simple question. I gather that I have opened a larger discussion.
Notice how tentative you are, vis a vis the material, how much less sure-footed than when dealing with matters outside 3D, or matters involving 3D as a sort of interface with non-3D. But what do you think health is, but one specific example of such an interface? And what is nutrition but one specific example of the subject of health? It is time for your understanding to broaden in a different direction. You are not disembodied minds. (Not yet!) Neither is your body merely a carrier of mind [in order] to give it the 3D experience. It is that, but it is not only that. In fact, you might think of it as the densest part of the densification that is life in 3D. Your mind operates within that density to the extent that your awareness centers there. But your brain operates within physical rules, which is denser yet, and brain tissue, like bone tissue, is about as solid, about as dense, as you are going to experience in 3D. Depleted uranium is heavier than brain cells, but it is not denser in the sense we mean, that is, participating in the densification that is the 3D part of the world.
Well, this is all a surprise. I thought I was asking a simple question that would get an answer describing unsuspected emotional problems, or telling me to get more exercise, or something. But I think you are leading us into deeper waters.
Diet, exercise, and all that can’t be deemed irrelevant. But what we are trying to do – to answer your question and lead it in a direction you will find more interesting than calorie-counting – is put the known variables in the context of some unconsidered variables.
Well, I’ll be interested to see where it leads. I’ll post and we’ll see if we get response. Are we already working on a sequel to Rita’s World? This doesn’t seem like Rita; you don’t have that feel, but I didn’t want to interrupt anything by asking.
Nor is it necessary. Continuing weighing the material for resonance and you will get there.
All right, I’m game. Till next time, then.
