How deep does our connection with food really go?

A long long time ago some space dust started to accumulate, this process continued and the bigger the collection of this matter the more energy was shifted, becoming denser and denser.

Fast forward a few years and planet earth was formed.

A rough, tough, turbulent, uninhabitable planet had become.

A few years later life forms started to exist, on land and in the sea. These life forms started to multiply and become more complex. All a culmination of the same particles that had formed this planet. All intertwined in a large ecosystem that feeds off itself.

Jump forward a few more years and we find ourselves today. The iteration of many evolutions across time.

Once space dust, now functioning human beings.

What a journey it has been...

So, nature created us, nurtured us, yet nearly wiped us out many times.

We still stand strong today, with our numbers increasing at a dizzying rate.

Alongside us, nature also created everything else that exists. Well, that was until humans started creating their own things. It started with small tools and weapons and has morphed into large skyscrapers and planes, alongside other less visible things such as new chemical compounds and pathogens. All of these altering the fabric of our reality. We have figured out how to hack nature, rise above gravity, and repel the forces that contain us, all for the purpose of expanding our species.

However, this exponential expansion has its faults, which can be seen by the events that surround us, especially in 2020. A state of unrest you may call it.

Just like the planet has formed from small particles, we have formed from the food we take in. A very delicate process that we often overlook. A system carefully designed, shaped by environmental factors, and crafted with random mutations.

We are a product of our environment, just the same as some environmental effects are a by-product of us. Our man-made inventions are having disastrously dangerous effects on the planet and us. Toxicity, pollution, and species dying off. Sickness, disease, and famine.

These effects can be represented by what’s happening inside our bodies. Man-made chemically-laden junk food, damaging us on a cellular level, loading us up with toxicity that we cannot detox. Cancer is a state of dis-ease of the body. Just as extinction and erratic events on the earth are a state of dis-ease for the planet. We are in some way cancer to this planet just as processed and artificial food are cancer to our bodies.

What’s happening to earth is a mirror of what’s happening inside of us.

A total diversion from our natural course.

The more we reside in a state of dis-ease, the more the planet is in a state of dis-ease. The connection with our food is just as important as our connection with the earth. When we start to properly look after ourselves, we start properly look after our planet. It starts with small changes. It starts with becoming aware of what’s good for us and what isn’t. What feels right and what doesn’t.

At our core, we know what we need to do.

The universe is within all of us. It’s waiting to be found. Waiting for you to look after yourself like you really should. Waiting until you make the choice to respect the planet and all the beings that reside here.

Until then we will always suffer at the expense of those who do not respect this magical place we have been birthed upon.

Now is the time to change. For you, for me, for all of us.

Peace.
