eat the meat and spit out the bones

Yes I know. Sometimes there’s way more bones than meat. Sometimes you might feel like you’re picking through a very bony fish for the odd little sliver of meat. You’re burning more calories getting the food than you’re gaining by eating it. It might be so bad that you feel like Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones. No meat anywhere. You actually wonder, “Why bother?!”

If you’re listening to a teacher that is teaching meat and you get the odd bone, for heaven’s sake stay.

If you’re listening to a teacher that is teaching fluff and you get the odd gem, it might be worth it.

But if you’re listening to a teacher that is teaching hateful harmful hurtful stuff, shoving sharp bones down your throat, I say get out! Who would willingly expose themselves to toxic fumes because they are told they should? No one. Get the heck out of there! Quit! Walk!

No one has the right to make you listen to something. No one has the right to make you smell something. No one has the right to make you feel something. No one has the right to make you watch something. No one has the right to make you eat something. It’s your body with your senses. Use your senses to serve your body and be a healthier person, inside and out.

It is your prerogative to choose what to read, what to watch and what to listen to. Guess what! Those ears on your head: they’re yours! No one else’s. They belong to you. And they are attached to your brain! Your brain! No one else’s. And those feet at the bottom of your legs? They are what will walk you away from toxic teaching. That’s what they’re for. They were made so that you could flee if you had to. Flee! Flee feet! Flee feet fast!

Eat the meat and spit out the bones.
