thank you everyone for your replies and I am enlightened and i see where I do well and where I need to do better. Nisargadatta says to neither pamper nor abuse the body, and he mostly puts emphasis, as does Lester Levenson, on letting go of over-identification with the body. Would one identify with one's pet dog, no. So it is with the body, no more than a pet dog that we are overly identified with.
>From an evolutionary point of view, most of the stuff in the grocery store is most likely a bit taxing on the body's systems, especially modern chemicals, etc. It is everyone's choice how to treat the body. Just resolve the mind. If the liver is toxic, the mind increases in paranoia, making it more difficult, for example. Okay, so now I feel that is gotten out of the way for now, and I can get on to resolving my identification issues with bodies. I laughed when I heard Hubbard say, "What are you doing with a body in the first place?!?" Yes, onward, and upward Trommers :-) colleen
