"The Tree that is Beside the
Running Water is Fresher and gives More Fruit"
- St. Theresa of Avila.
Although the western world only
rediscovered the raw plant food healing which originated in Ancient Greece,
in the 19th century, there were many texts and recipes kept in religious
orders and monasteries for making herbal brews and health wines etc
which indicate there was knowledge that the herbal approach was also part
of, or had once been part of, their spiritual tradition.
Earliest records of the raw plant
food approach go back to the 'father of modern medicine' Hippocrates who
said 'First Do No Harm'. Harmlessness was the basis of this
natural health and longevity system - as medicine should be today.
It continued through the generations
which followed the original 'Therapeutic Healers' though mostly they
are known as dating from around 500 BCE.
Their origins clearly stretched
back long before that time, with books and texts known in 500 BCE but
from a much earlier time which covered knowledge on geometry, music
in 5/4
time,
and texts so old they are
considered legends, but which described machines in boats which could
communicate with people elsewhere, and hospitals which had surgery and knew
the importance of a sterile environment.
Their advanced status existed at
least 5,000 years ago - there are wall paintings and buildings found on the
island of Thera archeologically dated as such - and they had many records,
books and texts, some of which were kept in the Library of Alexandria.
These included records like those about the existence of Atlantis.
Certainly these Greek
sources had far more ancient information than what became attributed to the
500 BC time frame - which makes their knowledge of Herbs, Oils, and a raw
Plant Based Diet for Healing interesting, but particularly because of the
additional knowledge of which these aspects were the introductory level.
Natural Plant Based
Healing and Health,
and
Vegetarian, Vegan-Friendly Diets
are
the most known part of the ancient system for 'healing' which survived through to
today, and made famous by the tireless work of people like Ann Wigmore who used
the juices of green grasses. It
covers the healing power of fresh, organic, plant foods and herbs, raw plant
foods and juices for therapeutic use, fasting, probiotics, 'manna' and also
nuts and nut oils, and especially the healthy omegas, such as flax and chia,
which are now known as essential for the well being and maintenance of the
body.

The knowledge began to be
revived within the Christic traditions, by a
number of breakaway groups after
unnamed
ancient texts were found in the 19th century. These ancient health texts
began with how to live by the wisdom of a healthy diet made up of holistic,
organic, fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs for healing.
Another
version of this teaching was from scrolls found in the Vatican Archives in
the early 20th century, for which we use the name they were known by in
Egypt, as communities of Greek origin, which was Therapeutae. There is
certainly a 'cover up' of identities in the events during the 1,500 BCE time
period in history.
Wonderful as the Plant Based Healing and
Lifestyle consciousness is, there was much more to this entire system of
knowledge which deserves recognition.
While the
Natural Plant Based
Healing and Health remained the teaching that was known, that
same Teaching also covered knowledge of the 'Ocean of Love and Living
Energy' (the wellspring), the Life Streams, the Light Streams, and the Sound
Streams which flowed from that 'Ocean' - which is the source of the 'running
water'. The access to this paradise was lost when this planet 'fell' from
its place on the 'blueprint' - but the 'tree' which stands beside it was in
that paradise, and is certainly the best 'tree'.
Knowledge of a Higher Level continued secretly, which is as it had to be because
of persecution after being dispersed from the general area and going to Turkey, Persia and
Afghanistan (not India). Here again, the knowledge continued, yet not
necessarily with the dietary and therapy side.
What continued were the more important additional levels of the practices
relating to the soul and avoiding ongoing rebirth into this repeating
'beginning and ending movie reality' and some of the history information did
also survive and continue, but definitely all remained as a hidden teaching
that covered astronomy and usually was carried forward hidden in verse form.
