All chronic stress makes people fat. Chronic stress (stress that’s constant) also makes people sick. Stress makes people sick because the stress system drains the body of the life force you need to keep other parts of yourself alive. When those other parts are starved of life force (oxygen, minerals, vitamins, base nutrition etc) you get sick. Stress hormones are also catabolic and lipogenic, which means stress hormones destroy muscle tissue and create fat.

When you try to live conflicting idea sets, they’ll make you fat as well because they trigger this stress reaction. (there’s only one stress response for all types of stress in the body) The stress of  living two ideas that oppose each other dwarfs the stress of anything you can experience with the conscience mind. If you think financial stress or work stress is destructive, just do some research into how much stress conflicting ideas inflict on your body. For example, I know many people who try to live two conflicting idea sets from time to time. I know married people (a religious idea invented by humans) who try to flirt or start relationships with other partners while their married. (a genetic idea ingrained in our DNA) Although the constant hunt for new romantic partners is natural behavior in the jungle, humans get easily bogged down by conflicting ideas and it’s these “idea” battles that can literally destroy you from the inside out. When ideas fight in your mind, it takes energy to power both of them. That means when ideas fight, you get stressed out and tired. Although the battle is mental, it takes more energy to fight a mental idea battle than a physical battle.

Is marriage the way to go? Is chronic dating the way to go? That’s not the point. The point is that when you try to live two opposing idea sets, those ideas will fight tooth and nail to both survive. That idea battle will leave you exhausted, fatigued, less muscular, more fat, more prone to disease and it will also accelerate the aging process. Find someone who looks overweight and exhausted. They’re most likely living two opposing idea sets. They could be working late (a human idea) when the body needs sleep. (a genetic idea). They could also want out of their marriage but they think they’ll go to hell if they take action. It can be an internal mental tennis game that never ends and it can make you really fat and really sick.

I know a man who wants to be healthy but keeps going to see his doctor to get toxic drugs. He eats great and participates in many amazing modalities of health but he also subjects himself to many destructive medical tests as well. He’s living two opposing idea sets. It’s as exhausting as digging a hole and filling it at the same time. Although the toxic drugs, surgeries and destructive medical tests can kill………..the internal stress from trying to live opposing idea sets (being healthy vs. trying to hurt oneself with suffering) can kill much faster. To get healthy, you need to decide who you really are and stick with it no matter what anyone else says or thinks. Stop living other people’s ideas when they don’t fit who you are. Live your own life and live your own ideas no matter what.

I know a lady who took another lover (that was not her husband) while she was married. One of the children (of this lady) was taught the idea that married women don’t do that yet she literally experienced the opposing idea that women will (and can) do that. This idea battle has been waging inside the child’s mind for 30 years now and it’s taking its’ toll on the child’s health. (the child is an adult now) She was taught one thing and witnessed something that was the opposite. This confuses and hurts children.  Does this happen to children of animals in the wild? Of course not because animals aren’t crazy enough to judge each other with idea sets that cause internal conflict. When a person is taught conditional love (to provide their love only under certain conditions) they can also be in the same conflict situation because they really love their parents but they were also taught the idea that the parent “who cheated” needs to be hated, punished etc. “Cheating” is just another idea based in fear and all fear based ideas cause pain internally and in everyone around you. You actually cheat yourself when you live any idea that isn’t true. The child in this story was also taught that a woman who cheats is a slut or whore etc. (punishment/violent based words that are designed to keep people inside the lies they’re living) The idea battle that can kill (in this case) is judging your mother and loving her deeply at the same time. Two conflicting ideas that will cause disease and weight gain. Punishment is just part of the violence we’re taught subconsciously as children. When we punish others for doing things they were designed to do anyway (huamns need love from more than one person once in a while), the punishment/pain/judgement and stress never end.

The key to understanding this concept is to watch what ideas you try to live. You should also understand that for every idea you take in, there’s another idea out there that will oppose it.  You don’t want idea fights in your mind so you need to limit just how many ideas you expose your mind to.This means the more ideas you expose yourself to, the more likely this internal battle (that leads to pain, weight gain and disease) will occur. Think of yourself when you were a child. How happy were you compared to what you are now? Would it be safe to say that the less ideas you had, the happier you were? You used to poop your pants but now you think so bad of your natural functions that most people won’t even poo in a public washroom. What happened? What happened was “extra ideas” and some of them are most likely not serving you.

In this information age, the cause of much weight gain, disease and depression is merely the shear number of ideas we take into our minds. The more ideas, the more chance you’ll encounter a different idea down the road, which conflicts with that original idea. That conflict can literally kill you faster than any other stress you’ll ever experience. The conflicting ideas about sex and marriage (the conflict between the ideas humans invent and what humans are designed to do) has to be the most destructve idea set infecting humans today. “You” divided against yourself cannot stand.

The more we fight who we really are (are you gay, do you need an extra lover here and there, do you hate your job but stay with it because it has a pension, are you a lawyer who always wanted to be a surfer etc) the more sick we will become as a society. You don’t see any disease or obesity in nature because animals don’t restrict their behavior with conflicting idea sets. If you’re sick or overweight try taking a media and idea break. (no radio, books, magazies, internet, schooling, TV etc) No more ideas into the brain until you can remove the ones that are making you sick and deformed first. Get honest with yourself as a habit. Practice that and everything else can fall into place overtime.
