The Impact of Water on Diet Health

As far as my personal research on hydration of the body, it really had been the book "The Body's Many Cries for Water" by Dr. Batmanghelidj, that brought to light the impact of dehydration on animal physiology, and how a drought management system is employed by the brain upon initial dehydration of the body from consumption of food that lacks sufficient water or that arrives into an insufficiently hydrated body.

However, there is a difference between tap water, spring water and biological water.

The Difference between Internal and External Fermentation

All living organisms on the lower rungs of evolution eat materials and expel wastes - byproducts. Mankind lives within an animated organism. One of which is bound to the laws of karma - action and reaction - whereas, if you eat, your body will have to digest and eliminate. 

But what is your body? Who is doing the digesting? How can food affect the organism? and what can their byproducts cause?

You are a bacterial entity. 

A few of your organelles inside your cells have been identified as bacteria, who gathered favorably together to form tribal life of mutual and beneficial trade amongst each other. Their symbiotic relationship happened to elicit an evolutionary benefit, one that ended up with the erection of city walls - a membrane - from which the governor of the city, i.e. cellular consciousness, can direct traffic and respond to environmental stimulus for the benefit of coordinated multicellular expressions.

A bacterial ecosystem.

Not only are you made up of trillions of these tribal bacterial cells, but you are covered by 10 times more single cell microbes, who live side by side with the cells. These microbes, ranging up to 1000 different species, create amazing benefits for the cells of your lungs, your gut, your skin and your hair. When they are in good shape, your epithelial cells (the surface cells) are enjoying great mucus lubrication and availability of adequately digested nutrients.

The Missing Link

From epigenetic research we now know that substance and food causes buttons to be pushed on the cell membrane, which in turn stimulate gene behavioral changes. The nucleus was once thought to be the brain, but it is now viewed as the gonads of the cell, as you can remove it from the cell and the cell remains alive. The brain is actually the membrane - mem-brain - which received stimulus from either the inside or outside of the cell, and then transmits a cascade pathway that switches genes on and off.

The genes, which hold the keys to protein and enzyme synthesis, dictate what information is available for transcription. It is like a computer code of zeros and ones; zero is off and one is on - just like a switch. The genes that are off do not express themselves chemically and biologically, as well as behaviorally. Genes that are turned on are expressed, and it's evinced by the behavior of the cell. The nucleus is likened to a computer hardware, that holds a library of data, and the membrane as a keyboard that accesses the database. 

Stimulation of microbial populations. 

Bacteria have DNA as well, just like the bacterial organelle inside the cells - the Mitochondria. These bacteria also have membranes, which means that they are just as much bound to this law of stimulation and expression (sounding like the law of Karma). 

It is well known that certain types of substances can cause an organism to advance towards it to consume it, or express the contrary and stay away from the substance, as well as take steps to protect itself from the nature of that substance. 

Some substances can cause an acid environment, like the crystalline form of sugar (pure glucose), which is the most acid forming substance consumed today (grains and starches come next). When a living organism, which operates in a slightly alkaline environment, is exposed to a drastic change in the environment, as much as a toxic shift in the acid direction, the organism's membrane delivers a cascading message to turn off the "growth and healing mode" in favor of the "protection mode", also known as "The inflammatory response".

Free roaming bacterial populations are the first to come in contact with ingested substances. They have the capacity to create digesting enzymes, since they desire the utilization of raw materials, and they expel byproducts.

Internal Fermentation

When free roaming bacteria digest a substance, it requires the utilization of complementary nutrients like water and minerals, in order to effectively break apart the atomic bonds between macro-nutrients (starches, fats and proteins). 

Since nature stores single sugars as long chains of sugars, aka starches, when the need arises to utilize the sugars for energy purposes, which is bounded in an unavailable form as a starch, the bacteria and cells release digestive enzymes that quicken the breakdown of the bonds. In the process, gases are released as the sugars become available as a single molecule. 

We know that the gut will not allow starches into the bloodstream, only simple sugars, so this step is always necessary for sugar to become available.

Not only does the environment in the intestines become highly acidic from the sugars, but the released gases causes pressure and symptoms of bloating. Stress on cells, whether from the acidic factor or gases, switches many cellular and bacterial growth modes into protection mode. This slows down digestion, absorption, and last but not least... the effectiveness of elimination (detoxification). 

The Difference between
Aerobic and Anaerobic
Respiration

Respiration is the active transportation and transmutation of chemicals within a living unit. Such that energy, a desired byproduct, is created, and with it the organism is able to produce movement.

An animal cell, such as the human's cell, thrives in the presence of Oxygen. The process of cellular respiration, that utilizes Oxygen in a cascade of energy production mechanisms, is called Aerobic Respiration.

In the absence of Oxygen, cells switch to a less efficient mode of respiration called "Anaerobic Respiration". It is less efficient, since the quantity of energy units - ATP - that is created, is drastically reduced (from 36 ATPs to 2 ATPs).

Taking a look at the illustration; in the absence of oxygen, energy is only created at the stage of Glycolysis. If Oxygen is present, the by product of glycolysis (Pyruvic acid) will enter the Mitochondria. In the absence of Oxygen, the by-products of glycolysis are recycled and fermentation results.

The process of Anaerobic Respiration, in the absence of Oxygen, is also known as Fermentation. The by product of Anaerobic Respiration is Carbon Dioxide, a gas, and Lactic Acid (if it builds up after an exercise, it give the sensation of sore muscles).

External Fermentation.

Traditionally all foods man ate were raw or processed by fermentation. The processing seen in the western lifestyle has neglected the wisdom of our ancestors, which took careful measures in processing grains, legumes and vegetables into forms of food considered "pre-digested by bacteria", also known as Fermented Food.

Man's neglect of this wisdom was caused by the invention of a technological preservation device - the Refrigerator. Prior to these Fridges, man would let his food dry out or let sit and ferment in a brine, so food would be available to him during the winter times, when the earth is too cold and conditions wouldn't allow food to grow in large amounts.

It is a factor, that digestion is only accomplished by microbial consumption of raw materials. Their byproducts - the building blocks of the raw materials. Like the egg yolk, which has no proteins, but rather has the building blocks of proteins - Amino Acids - is so freely bioavailable for absorption by the absorption cells in the digestive tract, that no extra digestive energy is required for processing it.

Imagine how wonderful it is to relieve the digestive tract from such high energy demands. The leading cause for delayed healing and recovery from injury and illnesses is exactly that, hardly no recovery time. Rest is imperative for healing, and when you allow the gut to rest, instead of consuming 60% of the energy in the body for digestion, it can utilize less and the organism directs the growth and repair to brain cells, lungs cells, and every other cell in the body that is screaming with pain signals of attention.

External fermentation, like fermenting a Cabbage to make Sauerkraut, is a delicacy that not only delivers bacterial populations, but also frees the vitamin C from the tough to digest plant cell, and makes many of the plant structure available as building blocks. When that hits the small intestines... walla! fast absorbing nutrients to nourish the residential microbial and cellular populations. 

When the first line of cells are happy with the environment created by the fermented foods, the growth mode remains on and thus the gates are wide open for deeper layers of tissues and organs to receive a refreshing flood of nutrients. 

Conclusions,

External fermentation complements the organism, by pre-digesting raw materials and making many large materials available in their building block form. This also releases gases, but at least not inside a confined space like the intestines and colon, thus preventing the buildup of gaseous pressures within the bloodstream, that can otherwise lead to gases being locked up inside cells (see The Blood Gas Theory).

Traditionally, we used bacteria and yeasts to digest gluten in the production of sourdough bread. This breaks down the gluten protein, bit by bit, into available free-form amino acids. It is only our conventional methods practiced today that skip the wisdom of proper fermentation, and many people suffer from illnesses due to gluten toxicity. Proper leavening of bread from a whole grain neutralizes the toxins and makes the B vitamins in the bran available for utilization by other organisms.

Digestion is a process leading to elimination. Raw materials are blocks to be mined, like a gold mine, which extracts the prize and eliminates the wastes. Taking steps to locate a gold mine results in less wastes and better yield from the energy utilization in the process of extraction. As goes with food choices, as you can certainly benefit from reducing gaseous wastes and toxins by employing physiologically complementing organisms, who can accomplish for you an initial processing to your food, that would otherwise be called to the intestines during internal digestion, in order to mitigate the heaviness of the meal.

There's food for thought...

An Awakening Process - A True Story

 This is my experiences leading up to my first Astral Projection, and the consequences that followed.

+===========================================+

I was raised all my life in Israel until I moved intentionally to California in September 2012, for further maturity of my soul and in order to gain wisdom from looking outside of the box that had contained me. 

My notion of the divine or of god was shaped by superficial imagination of people around me. I mean superficial, because it was only an experience they can relay to me on the surface of words. I didn't have experiences to backup the stories I've heard, so I had not much to relate to. This certainly kept me ignorant and distracted from seeking higher knowledge.

The first experience of the divine occurred under peculiar circumstances. It happened the morning after I sustained a life altering injury to my back during a midnight march with my unit in March-April of 2007 (during my service in the military). I carried too much on my back, to the point of stressing and inflaming the muscles surrounding my spine, between the shoulder blades. I couldn't sleep all night long, I was in a trance of everlasting pain, and I had not learned to speak up yet, so I kept the pain to myself.

The morning after the march, I ended up getting up in agony from bed, put on my uniform, and walk out in the twilight to the area of operations. Since it was very early, and no one would be awake for another couple of hours, I went into a club house, where we had a TV, Billiard table and long cushion benches, and I lay down carefully on my back, placed my hat on my face, and allowed myself to fall asleep.

I awoke into full consciousness. I was on a stone marble seat, in a light-filled room. In my hands is a long oval golden tray, with water and cloudy mud moving in patterns that I was reading and interpreting. On my right I heard a voice speaking to me, and I was conversing with it. I knew it as god. As I was preoccupied with the tray, a door straight ahead opens and a silhouette walks inside. I am still preoccupied, but the figure reaches me. I tell it, "Sit down". He doesn't comply. I repeat and say "Please sit down". Noticing that I haven't even looked up at him once, I raise my head and... wake up.

This experience kept me pondering long hours the essence of my existence. Even with my twin-mirror brother (whose entire internal organs are reversed due to a condition called "Situs Inversus") I would ponder infinity and ask paradoxical questions such as, "How did existence come to exist, if existence never existed.". 

Meanwhile, my twin brother shared with me something that had truly pulled me deeper into the realm of the mysterious. He told me about a friend of his who practices Astral Projection with his father. I was intrigued, but I was preoccupied with mundane life, so I didn't pursue it further. Though, my brother got a book about Astral Projection from 1929, and dug deeper into the subject. He soon claimed to have successfully Astral Projected. Fascinated, and in deep jealousy at such an incredible and pleasurable experience, I set forth to find out the truth for myself.

I spent hours... days... weeks... reading, thinking and wishing for an experience to happen to me. I didn't know any techniques, and simply meditated and tried to squeeze out of my body. Nothing worked. I had no real hope left. There just seemed to be something keeping me away from experiencing this phenomena for myself. 

I was now serving in a different unit than I had been. This time I was stationed half a mile from Gaza strip. Two weeks leading up to the new years of 2009, our base would be targeted by Hammas militants, and so we would have motor rockets fall on our base at 2 or 3 am. The sound of the impact always reminded me of someone slamming very loudly the top of a metal trash bin. Luckily I didn't get hurt, but others were less fortunate. 

After a Friday night dinner, rockets fell once more, but this time soldiers were injured badly. These were very terrifying times. The situation persisted far too long, and now that people were injured, the energy intensified and many were in a revengeful spirit.

On a Saturday morning, on December 28th, 2008, I awoke fearfully to the sound of dozens of explosions going off incredibly loud and fast. Frightened, I rolled out of my blanket and under my bunk bed, and waited for a slow in the rate of incoming fire. It never came. My friend in the bunk bed near to me agreed that we have to quickly place our gear on and run for shelter, since our sleeping quarters were not fortified buildings. 

As we ran towards shelter, we were stopped by one of our commanders, who swiftly communicated to us that we are not the ones being bombed, but rather jets were dropping bombs on Gaza. Relieved, we ran around the base collecting soldiers from our unit and we all made it to our unit shelter.

I was trained as an Anti-Aircraft operator, in a unit called "Eye of the Storm". I would sit inside a room, in front of monitors connected to a radar, and monitor sky traffic. Apparently, 300 bombs were dropped on Gaza in 10 minutes. It was a surprise, an awful one for them and a startling one for me. The thought of it is gut terrifying. 

This, "surprise", launched a month long war with the militant government Hammas. Me and my unit remained protected under a shelter, rotating shifts and undergoing war schedules (serving 7 days, staying at home for 7 days, this way we can rest from such stressful times).

My first Astral Projection happened after a 6am shift. 

One early morning, after completing a rather short 6 hour shift (from midnight to 6am), I was so exhausted that my physical body was literally less "attached" to my astral body. If you can relate to that feeling, when you are so tired, that when you lay down flat, you feel yourself melt endlessly into the surface you're on. I felt that way, as I crashed on my sleeping bag and melted into a dream.

In the dream, I recall being in a room with friends from my unit. They are all having a good time. I suddenly become weak, and I fall to the floor. I feel ridiculous; as if I am laying on the floor pretending to have fallen and waiting for someone to take notice. No one cares. Though, suddenly I feel myself become lighter than air and a distinct sensation of "leaving my body". 

Wow! As my eyes are close, I am flying in incredible speeds. Somewhere. Maybe nowhere. I decide it is time to open my eyes. As I do, I see myself flying above dark streets. Street lamps lit, and a military pickup truck zooms by. I travel left, and I float above a metallic gray shed, surrounded by low level buildings. A truck, bare of its back carrier, is under the shed, and I float downwards to it, through the metallic shed. 

As I float into the truck's passenger seat, I observe a white ray of light. I reach out and touch it. This ray of white light moves onto my hand and into my heart. I float out of the truck and start sinking into the ground. I see the white gravel and many insects, like spiders and centipedes, rising up from the ground and come towards me. Everything is high definition. I then wake up.

This marked the beginning of my Astral Projection exploration.

Once I had this first Astral Projection, a whole belief system melted away and I was left baffled at what this means to my existence. It ignited in me a strong urge to self educate myself about everything. I felt lied to. I felt my parents can't teach me anything any longer, since they failed to inform me of this intrinsic truth.

I took it upon myself to educate myself about the esoteric and metaphysical knowledge. I spent hours reading books about the Mayan calendar and prophecies, as well as, learning about Reiki and practicing it with my brother. I spent hours learning about the energetic anatomy, and experimenting with techniques, as well as meditating with and without crystals.

+===========================================+

I have since experienced many more Astral Projections, with plenty of lessons taught by friendly entities as well as Animal spirits. 

My experience of Astral Projection was not limited to Dream projection only. I have experienced multiple times the conscious separation of my Astral body from the physical body.

My experiences range from fully opening my third eye, to waking up in a parallel world, and even to learning techniques in dream conditions. 

The last year, of 2014, I have explored and perfected a technique I have shared openly on youtube. I call it, The ART of WAKING UP.

Since my awakening to the truth of my essence, I have been Self Mastering myself in many areas, attempting to catch up with what I believe my evolution could be. So I have been investigating nutrition for the last 3 years.

I am currently working alongside Michael Grubb on the online Self Mastery University called Evolved Ministry. I have designed and constructed a Nutrition Self Mastery curriculum, designed to supply a serious Self Mastery practitioner with the basic concepts that will empower him to receive advance material for Self Healing of himself and of a Community.
