Default THE FAST of fruits - A Diet to IMMORTALITY

-


Transcription of eternal words


From the fruit OF THE TREES you may freely eat

Besides the momentary and virtual desire plus a whole lot of health problems which result from eating the common food,

What is it that one would lose by doing what the eternal words of the Higher instructed you to do in the beginning of the Book?


What makes one get rid of the common food, to eat nothing else than the fruits of the trees, is the eternal words of the Higher in the account of Genesis plus the eternal words that the Lamb said [attested in the book called Matthew] that there would be a time for the fast[a scriptural diet to immortality], through which one would keep the clothes[the body] as new, and that the wineskins[the stomach] would be kept as new as well, while receiving the new wine [the fruits of the trees].

The instant and temporary pleasure that he/she gets from eating common food or by continuing with the sin of the flesh, is just a moment.

In the time that the pleasure is continuously found through the momentary means, it does not lead to life, but to the annihilation of the time of permanence that the spirit should remain in the body, and consequently a diminution of life and a quick approach to the physical death.

On the other hand, if he/she gets rid of the sin of the flesh by eating only the fruits from the solid trees, then even in the first week trying to eat just the allowed fruits, he/she will say to him/herself: - ‘what is the point? It’s hopeless’, or ‘the nature of being dead-alive is sad, empty, without happiness’.

It is not the food nor the momentary pleasure by continuing with the sin of the flesh that gives one pleasure and happiness, but it is the Spirit that quickens and makes that emptiness/sadness to become gladness of heart.

Even having access to the instruction from the eternal words that say ‘It is the Spirit that quickens the flesh, - the flesh alone profits nothing’, in the first weeks eating fruits only, he/she does not understand that the pleasure he/she has does not actually come from the flesh, as well as the pleasure of eating that he/she has does not actually come from the food.

After completing seven weeks eating only the fruits of the solid trees he/she finally arrives to the other side of the bridge, where he/she can retain the COMPLETE view that the pleasure of eating does not actually come from the food, but from his/her own blood, the soul that is the liquid part of the human body, that is the same place from where the desire for common food arises.

John[Johannan], who anointed with water, ate just honey and locusts, that is a form of fast as well, and he also ate the fruits of the solid trees, for a Prophet of JEHAVÉH would not omit the fruits of the true fast that is attested in the account of Genesis:


From the fruits of the trees you shall freely eat


Not coconut, because the coconut is from a palm, and whatever is called "palm" falls into what the sons of men call "palm-tree family" and is not an actual tree.

Not banana, for it is from a palm, neither fruits like papaya and kiwi,
for they are not from an actual tree [they are from soft-trees],
not even the fruits that are not from a tree, like melon, pineapple, strawberry, etc.

In order to be considered “an actual tree” the tree must endure beyond seven years, and it must have a solid root and the shape of a tree.

If one gets rid of the common food, once and for all, to eat from the fruits of the trees alone, what would be the ranking of eligibility of those fruits on a list? It would be similar to the following ranking of the most complete ones:


The fruits from actual trees – The Twelve Best


1st – olive
2nd – fig and cashew-nut
3rd – plum, peach and acerola
4th – pistachio and walnuts
5th – persimmon and jabuticaba
6th – tangerine and lemon
7th – mango
8th – avocado
9th – pomegranate and jackfruit
10th – grapefruit
11th – cherry, nectarine and raspberries
12th – orange


The above selection of the twelve best was ranked according to Eligibility and Nutritional Value.

-

You could argue why the apple and the pear or your favorite fruit do not appear in the ranking of the Twelve Best, but if one day you finally abandon the common food, once and for all, to eat just the fruits from the actual trees, then you will know why.

Hi Crazy Diamond: me thinks this is the wrong forum for this post (unless you can back up your choice of fruit with references to specific biblical chapters and verses)

But, anyway: why do you think that raspberries come from a tree, especially one that 'endures beyond seven years' as the plant only fruits on either one year old or two year old canes. Even if the plants live longer, I doubt that the individual canes even last seven years (mine don't).

Well, I will make sure that of these items are included the next time I see a fruitcake

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Do we have a recipe forum anywhere on these boards so that this knowledge may be shared? Or will this ~e~ventually finish up on another forum.

I guess that grandmother's heavenly apple pie is considered heretical in Crazy Diamond world since it's too common or something. Not that this in any way bothers me.

There's 21 items on that list, by the way, not 12.

Aren't nectarines a crossbreed? Did they even exist before the 20th century?

Thank you for the clarification. The raspberries would not have lasted awhile.

I would figure out sooner or later that raspberries has nothing to do with the fruit that I had in Brazil, long time ago, which is from an amoreira tree. - Mulberry in Portuguese is "amora" - Botanically the fruit is not a berry but a collective fruit, in appearance like a swollen loganberry. When the flowers are pollinated, they and their fleshy bases begin to swell. Ultimately they become completely altered in texture and color, becoming succulent, fat and full of juice. In appearance, each tiny swollen flower roughly resembles the individual drupe of a blackberry. The color of the fruit does not identify the mulberry species.

Red mulberry fruits are usually deep red, almost black, and in the best clones have a flavor that almost equals that of the black mulberry.
Black mulberry fruits are large and juicy, with a good balance of sweetness and tartness that makes them the best flavored species of mulberry. The refreshing tart taste is in some ways reminiscent of grapefruit. Mulberries ripen over an extended period of time unlike many other fruits which seem to come all at once.

There are three types of mulberry trees and all three grow very large and produce fruit for a very long time.
