Food, Freedom and Truth explores the human condition through the lens of a challenging relationship with food and focuses on our ability to wake up from our programming and live life from the natural state. Our relationship with food and, ultimately, our entire experience of life boil down to one thing: how we respond to our thoughts. When we see this truth, we can choose to ignore our thoughts rather than follow them, move with life instead of resist it and stop creating the negative feelings that keep us running to the refrigerator. In these pages, you will learn that (1) feelings are not random occurrences, erupting willy-nilly without your consent-you create them; (2) by choosing to stop creating negative feelings, you don't have to live at their effect; and (3) you select your experience of life depending on what you believe and where you put your attention. A misalignment with food is a spiritual issue. We eat too much and eat the wrong foods because we are unhappy and unwittingly creating negative feelings. This pattern of eating to get happy becomes a self-reinforcing cycle. If we're unhappy, we eat too much and gain weight, causing us to feel worse about ourselves. The unhappier we become, the more we are likely to try to get relief through food. In other words, when eating is our habitual way of coping with unhappy feelings, we turn to food for relief and, in doing so, exacerbate the problem. Emotional eating is problematic not just because it can negatively impact your health, but because it means that you're romanticizing food-looking for it to provide comfort, diversion or entertainment. This belies a misunderstanding about the true function of food as fuel. In addition, emotional eating points to an innocent misunderstanding of how to live. Most of us have never learned how to be happy or, more accurately, how to avoid being unhappy. As crazy as it sounds, human beings are programmed to be unhappy because we are conditioned to listen to and believe our negative thoughts. And whenever we buy into the whingeing of a negative mind, we unconsciously generate unhappy feelings. In the upcoming pages, you will learn to turn this pattern around by uncovering and stymieing the unconscious habit of generating negative feelings. When you stop buying into negative thoughts and stop creating negative feelings, you live life at a higher vibration. You may live in the same place with the same family and friends, but you truly live in a different world-a heaven on earth.
