The
Wicked Queen searched her books of magic spells for a horrid spell to work on
Snow White. "What shall it be”, she muttered to herself, "The
poisoned apple and the sleeping death? Perfect!" --©Walt Disney's Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs.
A
wild beast having no ego to feed, rarely if ever overeats. Man on the other
hand, thanks to the sin of pride has descended so deeply and guiltily into his
animal nature that he now finds it virtually impossible to feed his physical
hunger without at the same time satisfying and reinforcing the ego cravings of
his descended being.
To
become temperate in your ways, you must find the way to give up ego involvement
with your food. Surely, the ultimate fast is not food denial but ego denial and
you may well ask: How is such a thing possible? The weakness for food that has
been imparted to us, encouraged and condoned by our culture, has become so
much a part of our lifestyle that few of us come to know the joy to be found in
triumphing over the ego's involvement with food as a source of pleasure. Test
it.
See
if you can become objective as you eat. Of course, as long as you are guilty of
the sin of pride, you will not be able to become truly objective, to your
eating or to anything else. You will be eating to escape reality and to build
up your ego and also to escape the guilt of doing so. However, if you can let
go of enough egotism and pride to get beyond the fear of dying, you will be
able to catch glimpses of my meaning.
