Convincing Yourself
Wisdom becomes knowledge when it is personal experience
I am sure that we have all had the experience of someone being so passionate about a topic(in early years it's religion and later it becomes political views)that the person is trying to persuade us that there position is correct.
"Lay off," we say to ourselves. "I understand your position, but I can't buy into the fact that …."
So what about something new, anything new. Do we ignore newness? Yes, that's possible too. But to not embrace anything new keeps us static and slow/dull.
I think the key for us is to try things out and feel for ourselves. So for this whole aspect of trying energy science nutrition, understanding it requires that we try it out.
You see, it's like the saying above; it only will become relevant for us when it becomes a personal experience. Then we have wisdom, that is, knowledge from first hand experience.
Then no matter what someone says, we can say, "I know that works for me, because I know it from my own experience." This is a lifestyle behavior pattern that we all develop to varying degrees through life.
If we feel poorly and then feel better after changing our diet, then we can say, "Works for me."
This is called discrimination, an aspect of the intellect. And it is essential for being able to heal ourselves from an energy science nutritional approach. We have no concept of this in matter science nutritional work-it's all by blind faith. And I don't know anyone these days interested in blind faith.
So as they say in Missouri, "Show me." Not soooo fast. Show yourself.
Convince yourself. Then no matter what anyone says, does, cajoles, coaxes, or manipulates, we know it is true for us.
The importance for this is that it becomes our truth when making selections at the grocery store. No book, piece of paper, person, or recent article in Ladies Home Journal will be our authority. The authority is your knowingness. Your wisdom.
No one will convince you that the energy science nutritional approach is good for you. You will convince yourself.
