As you progress in spiritual practice, you will need to become familiar with diet as it pertains specifically to you. As you progress, your energies will increase and change and this will be very much specific to your personal experience. Some of you will change in manners that will require very significant changes to your diet. Some of you will simply understand that certain dietary items are no longer helpful and in fact may be problematic for various reasons. You will become much more conscious of your dietary intake as it relates to your everyday life and in particular how it effects your practice.
In the same way, those things you take into your spiritual life may need a re-assessment. Your life, everyones life, is a spiritual life, if you are in spiritual practice, you have recognized this and for some reason you have been driven by this awareness to begin self observation, self sacrifice, intentional suffering and conscious disruption of habituations and unconscious waking sleep. Your goals are now, ever expanding consciousness, never ending patience, compassion, Self-Realization and beyond.
This is a very real departure from many here on earth, it is examining ones life and taking your actions into account in a way that is different from one who is in a Religious belief system or one who is rather unaware of much more that gratifications and existing. It is an actual science of transmutation / alchemy.
The food you consume is more than just the food you eat and the liquids that you drink:
Everything you take in through your eyes is energy. You can look into the sky and take-in several square miles of miraculous energy or you can focus on something you don't like and take in a few square inches in a hostile and judgmental frame of mind.
Everything you take in through your hearing is energy. It can be beautiful music or hate radio, the difference is obvious and the effects these have on you are very real.
Everything you read and take in from media, this is all energy: it is all food you are bringing into your space, all food that you are consuming. Multiple frequencies that you have some
ability to influence with conscious effort in Practice.
