Foundations of Health and Happiness-Part 7

We have come to the last of our Seven Foundations of Health and Happiness. This might me the last one, but certainly not the least important.

SPIRITUALITY

Some might be put off by the concept of spirituality, mainly due to all the negativity relating to the histories of many of the great religions of past and present. But this situation needs not be. We have somehow put a wedge between ourselves and God. It can and must be overcome. Our health and happiness as raw foodists depends on it.

All the inspired literature clearly state that we, humans, are created in the image of God. God is not the dictatorial figure some have depicted him to be, bent on making our lives difficult at every opportunity. God has some very distinguishing qualities: love, strength, justice, wisdom. We can very well try to be reflections of those qualities ourselves, by our very actions and decisions, each and every day. That way, we are images of God, reflecting His glorious qualities.

Being creatures of light, it is possible for us to live out our lives in the most complete, fullest and integrity-rich way. We should never hesitate to do our best at every moment of our lives. We should definitely question our own sanity if we are involved in anything that does not engage 100 percent of ourselves. One of the main reasons our society is so utterly miserable, in my humble opinion, is that most humans are robotically performing one action after another without even the slightest awareness of what they are doing or why they are doing it.

Einsten stated quite simply: "Be the change you want to see in the world". Reflect light into the world by your acts of compassion, by your wisdom freely shared with your family and friends, by loving all creatures under the sun, by being strong when other can benefit from your strength, by being fair in your dealings with others. Be the best possible expression of yourself you can possibly be.

Go on forth and be the change you want to see in the world.
