Day 144

"If rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops, oh what a rain that would be. Standing outside with my mouth open wide Ladee Dee Ladee Daa."

Thoughts: Are you feeding the machine? If you eat foods that are processed, packaged, take-aways, human produced, then you are feeding the machine. Whether you believe in ego and consciousness, spirit and devil, soul....this may turn into a blog looking more like the script for Transformers 4...either way enjoy!

I will be referring to YOU as in the you you, the real, raw, authentic you, and then I will refer to the machinery, that thing that takes over you, instead of you controlling it. If you have ever had an eating disorder, an addiction or even a doubt about yourself and what your capable of, this is the machine in action ‘I can’t do that, I’m too fat, I’m ugly, I can’t stop, I’m not good enough’, - this is the machine in full swing. During my bingeing mine says “Just one more time, do it again, this will be the last time I promise, tomorrow I will start again fresh, I will just have one huge hit of food and then never again’.

This is an example of the ‘machine’. Kids in America are taught this ‘harmless and fun’ song from the children’s television show Barney.

If rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops, oh what a rain that would be. Standing outside with my mouth open wide.
If sun beams were bubble gum and ice cream, oh what a sun that would be. Standing outside with my mouth open wide.
If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes, oh what a snow that would be.

The way its sung its quite a cheery and happy song. And when you actually write the words down, you can see the twisted-ness of it, why can’t rain just be rain, why turn it into processed sugary foods would make a better rain than the natural rain that we already have?

And it may have even been made up by someone who was trying to make a fun harmless song for kids...however who ever created it, created it out of machinery, without out knowing or with knowing, because if it came from god, light, presence, love, consciousness, source (what ever word you want to use) it would have ....

The machine is hidden in a lot of places, and if we really look we can see the programming everywhere...commercials, songs, movies, television, radio, bill boards, advertisements. When you look into someone elses eyes and they "What are you looking at?" instead of simply saying hello back and sharing themselves at that very moment.

We are turning this organic planet into a machine.

The earth provides us with everything we need, food, medicines, pleasure, sweet and sour tastes, everything natural. There are natural cures for everything! Swhy did we start making processed foods and chemicals and start adding man made artificialness to naturalness? Well the human population grew and grew and we needed to keep up with the demand and feed the demand of the people. Then we leant that we can have rice and meat and special sauces AND a variety of vegetables and meats and rice and sauces all on one plate. Animals don't go up 5 different trees to get food to make a complicated salad or fruit salad. Keep it simple. But we live in a modern world you may think and yes lets look at the health of the earth and human beings. AND ITS NOT WORKING...LOOK AT US!

People are fatter and sicker and more unbalanced than ever before. And skinnier...and unnatural. So why do we keep going??? Why do we keep feeding the machine? Are we that deep asleep???
