The Five Fold Hologram of Eating                             

Just look at the way you are concerned about eating. The five aspect of Consciousness, Awareness, Intelligence, Mind and Body are reflected as Conscious eating,  Awareness eating. Intelligent eating, emotional eating and physical eating.

                                           Body (Physical Eating)

    I know a friend who cooks 10  gallons of  lentil-soup  and splits the soup into 30 zip-lock bags and throws into the freezer. Everyday he will open one pack and eat it. His attitude is eating  just for physically filling the stomach to supply carbohydrates for energy. The individual's physical convenience over-rules the concerns about taste, health and routiness.  This behavior comes out of laziness and is called Tamasic in Sanskrit.  

                                        Mind (Emotional Eating)

   There are some of us who may spend hours in the kitchen or pay at restaurants  to eat food that gratifies the senses. In emotional eating the individual is not concerned about the health damages of eating such taste-buds stimulating foods. These are called  "Rajasic" foods. The individual is concerned only on the short emotional happiness he gets out of these foods.

                                      Intelligence (Nutritional Eating)

   Very few who are concerned about health, will eat food based on Calories or vitamins or nutrients. They may even compromise taste, convenience and cost.  These are Satvic foods. These people are concerned only about their health.

                                                                                                                                                                   Awareness  (Holistic Eating)

   with the Awareness of not wasting the food and cause least damage to environment. They also look into whether the food was produced ethically without harming not only human beings but also other beings. They also will share their food to others and even other beings. This is Awareness eating. This might be only a very small group.

                      Consciousness  (Cosmic Eating)

     This Conscious Cosmic eating is done as a ritual by a group of people in Kasi Varanasi, the Agoris (Aghoris).  They eat dead-body or  feces of human and animals. This might be repulsive for our human mind and feel totally bizare abnormal behavior.

    Why do Aghoris eat dead body?  We should logically think that these Agoris who eat dead-body are not doing physical-eating out of convenience or short of food supply. They dont eat it either for taste of it. Nor do they eat it for nutritional or health benefits or for the environment. They eat in the Consciousness-Cosmic-Mind level. They eat that with the highest understanding that the human body dead or alive is only Energy at the Consciousness level.

    Consciousness is unconditional without a form,  free from emotional likes-dislikes or rational thinking mind.  These people do the cosmic eating to be in that Consciousness state. This is why people consider that it is great to be blessed by Agoris who are in the highest Conscious state.
