Eating the Stars

Hidden in vegetables and fruits are many more nutrients other than vitamins and minerals, fats, carbohydrates and proteins.  You may think eating stars is impossible, but the forces of the stars are part of what make up plants.  What do you suppose puts all the fire in hot peppers, mustard, stinging nettles, garlic and onions, radishes?  The fiery planet of Mars, of course!  Every plant has a planetary ruler, every planet has qualities that can be seen in the plants it rules.  The ancients instinctively knew this, and we can reconnect with this wisdom if we have an inquiring and open mind.  Pretty much everyone can agree that the sun and moon have a huge influence on plant growth.  But the other planets in our solar system have many effects as well.  So when we eat our vegetables, we are consuming the life force that streams down to the earth from the stars.  And in case you think this is esoteric nonsense, just bite into a hot pepper!

 Flowers too bring us gifts from the cosmos.  How can anyone not see special forces at work creating a passionflower?   It's planetary ruler is Venus.  As an herb, the leaves are very calming and sedative.  As a flower essence, passionflower also brings calm and peace to our emotions.

Eating is, or should be, a cosmic experience, a conversation with the whole earth and cosmos.  The more naturally a plant is grown, the more of these nourishing, life enriching forces it contains and bestows upon us.  So eat organic, and eat natural, real foods!
