Narrative Suggestability

A story or narrative account can easily make sense in its own telling.

The underlying mythic structure of all story involves some level of good and evil.

In this case oxalates from leafy greens and other sources are cast as evil which is that which then sets the good as the denier or overcomer or escaper from the evil.

Clearly for anyone who eats something and consistently receives an adverse reaction, is meeting a communication worthy of listening to. But any mind story is always a gross simplification of unique and complex variables, and so it is wise - in my opinion - to pause from emotional invested conclusion, so as to be free of 'hypnotic suggestion' in terms of taking in partial information and running with it as true.

There are innumerable reasons for why one man's meat is another man's poison, but one theme I notice is the attempt to get health from the outside as if to become whole as a result of filling a sense of lack. While a short term benefit or 'hit' may be experienced, the underlying belief in lack is reinforced. Put in terms of a sense of lack of heath or sickness, the belief in sickness is thus reinforced by eating 'health foods' or other interventions and activities - even if the foods or interventions also have positive components.

This level of belief is not at the surface to be worn on our sleeve as an identity assertion or presentation - but runs in the 'denied' consciousness of our primary conditioning. Denied by the masking in and as an identity in the world of threat and uncertainty - and the need for a mask of defence.

The surface consciousness cannot access the unconscious - because its predication is its denial.  In this sense our 'world' is predicated on denial or the hiding of the unthinkable, the unspeakable or the unconscionable. But hiding is not healing and denying symptom expression results in more complex displacement of symptoms unless recognizing and addressing the cause of which the symptom is a messenger.

It is the nature of fear to work division and fragmentation as the condition in which fear can persist in a sense of control. One aspect of this is to be always seeming to recognize a new 'enemy' as if now we see - and righteously go forth yet again. The capacity to re-enact the same actions to the same outcome repeatedly is the sign of a blind and stuck mind. Perhaps blind and stuck is a strategy of defence against a greater fear - but to bring curiosity to bear is to no longer consent to blindly believing in stuckness as the human condition.

Finding and living the balance points in every unique situation may be served by guidelines found by exercising curiosity - but it is easy to speak authoritatively from our own experience in ways that deny or shortcircuit others from engaging in their own - perhaps because they want a short cut so as not to more honestly engage with their life.

A lot of 'health' support is engaged in supporting an out of balance posture and persistence.

The dissonance of being out of true is pain on one level or another. The capacity to dump unresolved conflict in the body (or indeed the biosphere) as well as onto scapegoats (others) is a delaying or mitigating evasion, but whatever forms it takes - will surely come home (be revealed or unveiled of their masking) in the fullness of time.

We each have our own timing as to when we 'bottom out' of false identifications - and yet we are always in relationship in our coming back into life and health. Perhaps a larger social or cultural dissociation is being 'unmasked' in our time, regardless resistance or opposition that seeks to regrow the mask in forms of new acceptances and resulting polarised identities.
