Greetings dear mentors, thank you greatly for your guidance and connection. My enquiry today is about the tattva's in food in performance of the five tattva ritual and also general balance of intake of the elements. I have found much benefit from eating raw hand caught fish, living on an island. I feel confident in my consumption of the earth and water tattva but fire and air I would really appreciate some guidance. At this point I do not want to eat red meat or any meat except for fish, what are the other foods highest in the fire tattva? And also the air tattva?
The secondary part of this question is related to alcohol. I have renounced the consumption of alcohol for a long time since I found the path. I understand it's negative effects in high amounts especially on the sacred and incredible liver! However I am curious if you know of any medicinal uses or benefits of alcohol like fruit wines in very low amounts. This enquiry comes from hearing of the immortal breweries and the art of immortal wine making. I totally understand it's all symbolic and relates to the ambrosia and nectar of the vital energies. However, is there any literal use of wine with medicine? I am hinting at no, but I thought I'd ask. Perhaps when one is healthy and balanced, a seldom tonic of wine mixed with other herbs and superfoods could give a lifted and positive effect to one's energy? Probably best to stay away completely but I thought I would ask if you have any deeper information about wine and alcohol. Endless thanks and love. Hari Om
