There is Enough! Stopping the Cycle of Ignorance with LIG- Day 414

There is enough. This statement is crucial for the continuation of our species in the times ahead, where all we hear is that we do not have enough, not enough food, not enough money, not enough housing, but if one look behind who is in fact saying these statements, you will find the corporations who have a vested interest in us continuing to believe and so live out this belief that there is not enough. The corporations who control now the resources, the private banks who control the money supply, and the government who control our livelihoods all have a stake within making a lot of profit when we continue to believe that there is not enough. So we can not accept and allow any longer this notion that there is not enough resources or food or money in this world, we have to educate ourselves on the reality of what is here and how to walk the path to understand and so live the statement that there is enough!

We know that money is made out of thin air, there is no value inherently within the paper it's made from, it's simply a medium for commerce, and within this we the people give it meaning. So saying there is not enough money is a scapegoat for admitting to the fact that some want more then others, and will do what it takes to make this continue to happen as it and has been a reality for most of our recorded history. All are responsible within this ignorance we have accepted and allowed where some go with nothing and some go with enough, we all live and so accept this money system, so we all have to face the consequences and so change the outcomes to be best for all. It's on each one being a part of this change because it will not change until we stand up within ourselves and change who we are from within to the without. 

If we look at food for instance, here are some statistics about hunger and
also statistics on the food waste in the United States:

Total number of children that die every year from hunger -
1.5 million 

Percent of world population considered to be starving -
33%
Time between deaths of people who die from hunger -
3.6 seconds

Each year, about 40 percent of all food in the United States goes uneaten. It's just tossed out or left to rot. And that's a fairly large waste of resources. All that freshwater and land, all that fertilizer and energy — for nothing. By one recent estimate, Americans are squandering the equivalent of $165 billion each year by rubbishing so much food.

---------

So we have 33 percent of the world population that is considered starving and we have on the other extreme 40 percent of the food in America is thrown away due to not being processed effectively or not reaching the desired aesthetic picture the shoppers demand for. This seems like a sick joke we are playing on ourselves, I mean this doesn't make any rational sense to allow such a play out of life and death to exist, but it does, it is happening every day. What we fail to see or realize within the system we live in is that we are more and more interconnected and so dependent on each other to continue to exist. When we allow such a contrast of basic needs where some have much and many others have little to nothing, we have to stop and consider what we are in fact doing here. There has to be a point in each one's life where we have to question the way things are. This is determined and will be determined by each one within themselves and so will determine their own lives and existence, but it's suggested to find solutions for all human beings to be given the necessary basic rights that we all are should be given at birth, the conditions for a decent life.

The equal life foundation of which I support and contribute to with research and funding, have proposed a Living Income Guarantee, we’re they have set out the basic structure to build upon for a new way of life for all where all who are in need of it are given a living income to be able to buy what is needed and be sustained in a dignified way by changing parts of the current system that is in place. This will be walked as we start to open up the relationships and the pathways once there is more support and funding involved, but we are not there yet. We have to start from the ground up as we see, realize, and understand that from the top down will not change things as this is the way it's always been, and there has been no significant change in human life in the last 2000 years. We as the people that can hear the message and see that the way forward is a way of walking the talk and living the solutions as ourselves, can move to positions and solutions that will continue to propel this best for all principle forward and walk what is necessary in all avenues until it is eventually done. Never giving up, continuing to push forward, empowering ourselves and so others as we move forward with the principles that are best for all and living these principles into our lives and so our world.

We do have enough on this planet, so this is not the problem as the earth has given all the resources/sustenance/common sense to walk the best for all principle for each one to benefit from this reality equally. If we start with a living income, to create a standard of living that gives all dignity and from there start to look at how and through what means we can change the way we do things to create efficiency and sustainability, we can start the path of honoring life and not wasting and destroying it due to our own ignorance's. Support the equal life foundation and the Living Income guarantee proposal to start and create the change that is needed to live the principle of 'best for all life', which will always be best for you.

We Are, What We Eat – Day 408

This saying is quite popular in our world today and what it is implying seems to make sense because what our physical bodies are fueled and sustained by is mostly what we put into our mouths. The body is an organic system and there are certainly foods that substantiate it and foods that diminish it. A practical point to look at is why would we eat or drink something that would not support our bodies, it makes no sense, but we can then also ask ourselves a similar question such as why do we still allow billions to go hungry every day. The answer is within responsibility of oneself and one’s world, we are the solutions to these issues we are facing, we just have to change what we see that is not working, and walk this into our lives and world until it is here using common sense and the principle of what is best for all.

The food we eat if one has does some research travels long distances and get treated and processed in many different ways, so the natural original fruit getting plucked off a non chemicalized tree is like an unknown occurrence in this day and age. We don’t go and pick our fruits and vegetables from our local farm or garden, we don’t go the local farmer and get raw milk from the local cows, we don’t go and drink freshly squeezed oranges off the orange tree in our back yard, these things rarely if ever happen to the average person. There is cause for some of this, but on the norm it is because there are no localized farms or gardens that are pushed or common, and those that are not affordable. Most of our food is mass produced, and stripped of its ultimate potential for nutrition due to the underdeveloped soil it was produced in, chemicals it was sprayed with to keep bugs away, the date it reaches the mouths of those who eat being quite long as well as when at our houses the food is cooked, which diminishes a lot of the nutritional content due to the heat and the bodies molecular reactions it goes through when cooked.

“When food is heated past the heat-labile point, its chemical configuration changes. Pasteurization, deep-frying, and barbecuing are all forms of cooking where food is heated past the heat labile point. The body does not understand these new chemical configurations and does not have the enzymes to digest the food easily. However, the immune system comes to the defense of the body, and makes these undigested particles back into substances that the body can use or escorts them out of the body. We ask our immune system to do the job that our digestive system did not do. The immune system was not designed to do this on a daily basis, every time we overcook foods or over-process foods. Over time the immune system becomes exhausted and the door is opened to infectious and degenerative diseases.” – How Cooked is To Cooked? By Nancy Appleton, Ph.D.

Cooking is obviously a necessary thing in this time and space, but something to considered about the way in which our foods interacts with our physical bodies rather then going with what is desired which is a mind idea usually not conducive to the physical in itself. 

Another important factor that we should be considering and pushing in our

society is the need for these local farms and gardens as well as food that is nutritionally optimal and being nurtured in a way that nature intended, naturally and organically grown and produced. Again, I am not saying that this is possible now, but in the future when we do what is best for all, there is certainly ways in which we can develop our living situations to cooperate and co-create food that is best and optimal for all. In Switzerland they are doing just this, where they have created a project called “foodscaping, each yard is a vegetable garden and neighbors consult and plan what each will grow so they can trade.” Projects like these are solution based for the whole of the community and so these always can be scaled to the globe so all are able to take part and benefit, it’s always a matter of will of ourselves. As we know we are all in this together, so why would we not?

And so the vitamin and minerals within the foods we eat are equally linked to how healthy we will be. If we eat a balanced diet with high foods that support the body and drink lots of water, cutting down completely on refined sugars and processed foods, alcohol, and other foods that don’t support the physical, your livelihood will be significantly more aligned with what is best for your physical body and so best for you. Many people are not educated to the types and kinds of healthy eating that is necessary to live a long life, we are not taught what a well balanced nutritional meal is, and what vitamins and in what quantities they are needed to keep the physical body at it’s optimum level.

So it’s a point of responsibility we all need to take within ourselves to educate what in fact is really going on in the health industry and who are the one’s who are benefitting? What are the proper nutrients and vitamins necessary to live a healthy and sustainable life? And support the initiatives such as the Living Income Guarantee, which will help support those who are not able to support themselves in their lives have access to an income to get the food that is needed to live. This LIG initiative will also start the ball rolling for fixing the parts of ourselves and our world that don’t live up to the best we can be, spearheading project such as the “foodscaping” one above. Our whole food and nutritional way of living is in need of a great overhaul where the desire for the good of all be the starting point of how we create our world systems rather then the desire for the good of the company/profit/few/me. Many people have and are dying due to improper nutrition and care for diseases, this is preventable because there is certainly enough of everything for all to be sustained, and the food we eat should always support all to the ultimate of who we can be.
