By the by, I noticed that when I eat certain foods it's much harder to shift my reality, and my thinking is somewhat different (and clouded). I must then go back to eating what I normally do for 1+ day before I feel "myself" again and able to do 'magical' things.

Although a list of suggestions won't follow here, we can consider the effect of things we put into our bodies (food, drink, and everything else) and how they may hinder our physical evolution.

Chaol has mentioned things like fluoride in the water but I would also add GMO foods to the list. (And in the West, pretty much everything has GMOs.)

I could only assume that certain values in our perspective want to hold onto the old physicality, and so introduce these elements as a way to do so.

lol.. we have conspired against ourselves to keep us "comfortable" and not evolve our own physicality.
