Fish is not Vegetarian - 10 Apr 08

Cooking workshop

We receive wonderful feedback for the diary. People write and tell me that what happens in my life is close to what they experience in contact with their own surrounding and with their own feelings. I am happy because this is the reason why I write down my experiences in the diary. I also received another wonderful feedback today. Maybe you remember that I told you about a young mother who was here for a healing session in February. She was suffering very much from Asthma in that time and she said today that she had great relief from this. She said when we will be back in Wiesbaden in August she will probably bring the baby. It is so great to hear and see this!

In the evening we had an Ayurvedic cooking Workshop. Yashendu led through the cooking in Sabine's beautiful kitchen. food is very important. It affects your energy system. Whatever you eat has certain energy and that energy you will take into your body along with the food. Many people do not take care of what they eat but eating should be like a ritual. It is daily nourishing your body and your life. Whatever you eat will also reflect in your mind. You are what you eat. I always encourage people to be vegetarian. Today somebody asked Yashendu if fish was vegetarian or not. But how can it be vegetarian? How does this question even come up? Fish is an animal. Living. For eating it you need to kill it. No, it is definitely not vegetarian to eat fish. Our cooking workshops are fully vegetarian and every participant enjoyed the delicious food. When you are cooking with much love you will taste the love in the food.

I always thought that was weird too. But People always believe what they want and if everyone around you believes it, then people just don't question. I suppose in the grand scheme of thing maybe most of the lies we choose to believe just don't matter or affect our lives at all. We'll die having never investigated things we believe that didn't have much of an affect on us anyway, one way or the other. I mean I think you should evaluate but, even if you spend your whole life evaluating inconsistencies you will die without having gotten to the bottom of everything and it won't have made that much of a difference. Fish. No fish. Milk. No milk.

Yeah, why do people even think that? Then again, there is always away to justify what you feel like believing.

it is funny how fish is considered vegetarian. i have grown up accepting this but never really knowing why people consider it veg. Strange the things we don't think of!

Words of Wisdom

  • Happiness

    If a player only enjoyed playing if he won the match, he would not be very happy in his profession. Don’t let your mind stop you from enjoying as much you can!

    Source
  • Religion

    Sometimes religion is like poison. Look at these people who gather others around themselves, making up their own ‘religion’ by interpreting some scripture in their own way and create rules. It steals the freedom of the mind. You need to know yourself what is right for you and everybody has different ideas of what is good or bad, right or wrong.

    Source
  • Relationship

    The key for a successful relationship is to allow your partner to express his feelings the way he wants. Love is not about owning and controling. Give this freedom to the one you love.

    Source
  • Body

    If you feel you are overweight and you are unhappy with it, do something against it! You are the one who has control over your mind and who can shape your body. Take your responsibility and start.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Don’t bring business talk everywhere. Stop it, at the latest when you go into the bedroom. No business is allowed there anymore, just love and the relationship of you and your partner.

    Source
  • Emotions

    Words have limits. Love and Emotions are endless.

    Source
  • Vegetarian

    There are two kinds of animals: carnivores, like lions and tigers which eat meat and herbivores, like cows and horses which eat plants. Our whole body structure, our metabolism and our jaw are more similar to that of cows than of tigers. Our teeth are perfect for grinding grains and vegetables and not for tearing apart animal flesh.

    Source
  • Sex

    When two people meet and decide to have sex and decide on the next day that they want to have sex with a fully different person, it is their private matter – as long as they don't cheat anyone, wear a condom and don’t spread any diseases!

    Source
  • Followers

    The words ‘followers’, ‘disciples’ or ‘devotees’ give much room for abuse of the relationship to a guru.

    Source
  • Expectations

    Don't stop expecting - but learn from disappointments!

    Source
  • Perfectionism

    The wish of being perfect is driven by the wish to be an expert. Leave this wish and get into your mind that there is always a possibility to do it better, to learn something. Improvement is always possible but you are fine just as you are!

    Source
  • Fear

    What you fear is an illusion, a creation of your mind. The world will not stop turning, whatever may happen!

    Source
  • Make-up

    Some women feel ugly without make-up. Your outer appearance can strengthen your confidence for a few moments but you know exactly who you are inside. Learn to face your originality. Accept yourself. See that you are beautiful just as you are. Real beauty comes from inside.

    Source
  • God

    If you want to get in touch with god, why do you need an agent for that? Make direct contact through love.

    Source
  • Gurus

    Don’t be afraid, there are no such things as Siddhis! Speak out without fear and don’t let gurus cheat more people by claiming to have supernatural powers!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religious make-up and getup doesn’t make a person holy.

    Source
  • Respect

    If children have respect for their parents, it keeps them from doing very big mistakes which they could then not confess to their parents. Due to their respect they stop before.

    Source
  • Belief

    How could you, by writing a few lines or talking a few minutes, erase ideas which have been created over the course of many years or were learned while growing up? Change takes place only when a person is ready and really wants to.

    Source
  • Religion

    There is proof in the scriptures that shows that the caste system is deeply based in Hinduism. We need to change this religious belief in order to stop the caste system.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion's starting Point: Fear - Religion's Source of Income today: Fear
