Gabriel Cousens M.D. - Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini

To Swami Muktananda Paramahansa, without whose transmission of Grace and guidance in this one's spiritual unfoldment this book would not have been able to be written.

To Swami Saraswati Prakashananda, this one's Enlightened Guru uncle whose personal guidance and Agaram Bagaram life has been a source of continual inspiration, Love, and spiritually sophisticated understanding of the post-Enlightenment maturing.

To Paavo Airola, Ph.D. and N.D., who introduced me to and personally inspired me in the field of nutrition.

To Rabbi Gershon Winkler and Kabbalist David Friedman, who helped me translate the direct apperceptions of the Truth into Kabbalistic terms and way of life.

To my soulmate and life partner, Shanti, who actively lives the Truth with me.

To my family.

To all spiritual aspirants:

I will put my Torah in their inner parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people; and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, sayeth the Lord

JEREMIAH 31:32

The Torah is the living cosmic Truth of the Nothing (Ein Sof) that is already encoded in our inner parts (our spiritual anatomy) and heart. Spiritual Nutrition is a sacred blueprint for the awakening of our awareness to the illuminated Truth and resonance of Yah (the Divine) in our sacred spiritual anatomy (which includes the chakras, nadis, koshas, subtle bodies, and sephirotic energies). The activation of these subtle spiritual anatomies supports us in having the subjective experience of the God-radiance of who we truly are and an increase of that illumination through our ability to hold more Light. This activation helps to sustain us in the awareness of our eternal Oneness (Deveikut).

An ancient tradition says that each of the six hundred thousand people present at the communication of the Torah (Old Testament) by God to Moses on Mt. Sinai were given at least one section to interpret and share as a teaching with their brothers and sisters. In each generation these meaningful teachings of ancient wisdom are passed forward. This book is this one's sharing of Genesis 12:1 and Exodus 34:2829.

Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee.

GENESIS 12:1

God as the name El Shaddhai (the Nurturer) instructs Abraham: Lech Lecha. From the viewpoint of the culture of Liberation, (which is the focus of this book) this means Go to the Self (I AM THAT). To do this, one must let go of attachments and ego identifications with parents, culture, country, thought forms, illusion of the personality, and all identification with the body-mind-I AM complex; let go and surrender into the Divine Self. This book is a blessing to inspire and support the reader in the eternal journey of Lech Lecha.

And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses hand, when he came down from the Mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face sent forth beams while He talked with him.

EXODUS 43:2829

The blessing of this book is to explain the relationship of nutrition to the Light of Communion with God so that we may journey up the mountain to partake of God's Divine sustenance.

And to the One You.

Preface

An important scientific [or spiritual] innovation rarely makes
its way by gradually winning over and converting its
opponents. What does happen is that its opponents gradually
die out, and the next generation is familiar with it.

M AX P LANCK , T HEORETICAL P HYSICIST

Self-realization is the knowing in body, mind, and soul that
we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have
to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all
times, but that God's omnipresence is our omnipresence; that
we are just as much a part of Him now as we will ever be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.

A generation has transitioned since the first publishing of Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet (in 1986) revolutionized dietary consciousness. This new generation of readers has lived within the context of Gabriel's teachings, influenced vibrationally, as we saw ourselves changing into the at-one-ment generation within our hearts and souls. We saw the old order struggle through the war, politics, and business as usual, totally in the dark of the new paradigm shift taking place in the dining room.

The Light Bearers whether they be the cultural creatives, the wholistic camp initiates, the intuitives, those millions who have had the near death experience, the fire walkers, miracle makers, reborn Essenes, or spiritualized environmentalists with Gabriel's redefining of spiritual frontiers, are spring boarded within a leap of faith, moving at lightning speed through the compost of a world redefined by famine, plagues, dishonesty, greed, war, terrorism, environmental toxemia, chemtrails, global warming, and mass insanity. This book helps Mother Earth detox into the world of tomorrow, which is being created in the hearts and minds of the Ones who are in at-one-ment with the source, I AM THAT. More and more of the initiates are living in the eternal Now. Globally, our numbers are reaching towards the billions.
