After a man has eaten fruits only, he has a feeling as if he hasn't eaten enough. He is listening to a lie because fruits maintain a body one hundred percent and no other foods are needed. It is dangerous to eat the regular fare of dead foods with broken or fouled cells; it would be better for the body's health to take no food at all, but wait until the right ones become available again.
There remains a feeling of emptiness after a meal of fruits. Hunger has not been satisfied. But this feeling is a deception because the body has been fed properly. Fruit is not a food that narcotizes emptiness as destroyed foods do; instead, the sublime character of fruits introduces poin inside every unhealthy body, though in this instance pain becomes valuable because it is the signal of a withdrawal symptom. Having eaten garbage foods all during his life, the man expresses a symptom as the start for self healing, and it is a healthy experience.
All stimulating practices are pain-suppressing; it is their only function. And all of man's indulgences in food, wasteful activities and emotional upsets bring him only a temporary escape from pain. After a while it continues to surface until an awareness of it has been suffocated to death. This is the process by which man is annihilating his Self.
When a man is able to remain with eating fruits only, he will not experience miracles of health right away because first, it will bring up the true condition of his body. He may feel sick for many years to come. Besides a very uncomfortable state of pain and unrest, all the results of his past wrong eating habits will surface. Pollutants have permission to come out, and his body will be weak and look emaciated. While enduring the pain, he can be happy that he is getting healthy. At the end a new body will emerge.
There is a simple rule that applies to body weight. When only fruit is eaten and there is weight gain, the body is healthy, but if only fruit is eaten and there is weight loss, the body becomes healthy.
There is a warning. All though an all-fruit diet is the only efficient for any man and should be the goal of all dietary accomplishments, it is not recommeneded for degenerated and depraved bodies, at least not all at once. One would not tell a man iwht a broken leg to run without his crutches. If an Eskimo who was raised on blubber suddenly ate fruit, he might die of starvation because his system has lost its digestive power. But even he could raise his average life span from thirty years to sixty or more by reeducating his body to a more etheric diet.
It is not only man's physical machinery that can be healed, but also his emotional, intellectual and psychological systems. They need their own kinds of theric nourishments. No one must separate one system from his other systems which he has built around his physical body because all of them need reeducation.
As fruits maintain the health of the body, so does a simple activity humble the ego. Only a constant determination not to interfere with the inner power for self-healing can return health.
Remember that all tastes are acquired. Once you lose the taste for meat, for artificial sweets, and harmful stimulants, it will never return.metaperl 2005-10-03
