Well I occasionally get a pop that has caffeine in it mccoy. I seem to be able to avoid coffee presently. I feel that I am getting more in tune with the spiritual vibration of food and require a higher frequency to what sustains me. It is more obvious to me that consciousness is elevated in people who eat healthy and those that engage in eating lower forms of life and heavier foods it also contributes their behavior, in a detrimental way. I know there are no hard and fast rules here since there will always be someone or something to prove me wrong. I do not believe God created this earth in such a way that we can see things black and white.

I am also recognizing the seesaw effects of certain behaviors. They take you up and then drop you down. I can wake up in the middle of the night - when the world is asleep and spirit is stirring - meditate and drink for instance herbal tea and practice the energization exercises. I remember that some disciples said they would see Paramahansa Yogananda go out on the porch and energize and later return to energize again after a busy day. I see myself doing that now at night, quite often, after sleeping a few hours. But I should be honest and tell you I also take some cat naps during the day. Some what like siesta time in south of the border countries.

Somehow i see you as someone that has a balanced approach to things. Yea it is true that in the past it seems some addictions overwhelmed me. At times I would go totally the opposite way and practice militant discipline . But in my older age i appear to have somewhat of a more balanced attitude. I think in some ways we reflect one another like a mirror; you also having that disciplinary state of mind. It seems to be a good quality. Although like all good qualities there  is occasionally that flip side that plays out in duality, almost like a compensatory act.
