What Non-Duality Says About Your Diet and Why It Doesn’t Matter

There’s a persistent myth that spiritual awakening necessitates a vegetarian or vegan diet.

It’s the kind of idea that has people gnawing on kale, convinced they’re nibbling on enlightenment. But let’s clear the fog: there’s no cosmic scoreboard keeping track of your tofu intake. The non-dual perspective? It’s about seeing through the illusion that what you eat has any bearing on your spiritual awakening.

In other words, whether you’re chomping on carrots or chowing down on a cheeseburger…

…it’s all part of the same dreamstate.

The Myth of High-Frequency Foods

Now, here’s where things get twisted:

The belief that certain foods vibrate at “higher frequencies,” aligning you with some kind of elevated energy. It’s a seductive idea, I’ll give you that.

Who wouldn’t want to munch on something that claims to bring you closer to God? But let’s not kid ourselves. Non-duality doesn’t care if your diet is all sunshine and rainbows. The whole concept of high-frequency foods is just another product of dualistic thinking. The moment you buy into it, you’re caught in the web of the very illusions you’re trying to escape. Think about it. If enlightenment were as simple as swapping burgers for broccoli, we’d have reached Nirvana through a cookbook by now.

But the truth? The truth is that the soul doesn’t give a damn about your dietary choices. The body might, your mind certainly does, but the soul? The soul is already free. It’s the mind, wallowing in the muck, that spins wild tales…

…like the one where the path to spiritual awakening is lined with quinoa and kombucha.

The Role of Belief Systems in Dietary Choices

Here’s the kicker:

What you believe about your diet is far more impactful than what you actually eat. If you believe that eating meat is spiritually damning, then, in your dreamstate, it is.

But this isn’t a reflection of some universal truth—just the reality you’ve created for yourself. Non-duality rips through that illusion like a hot knife through butter. The real question isn’t “What should I eat?” but rather, “Why do I care?” Belief systems around diet are just another layer of the dream. They’re part of the narrative we tell ourselves, a story that keeps us tethered to duality.

Radical non-duality, on the other hand, doesn’t play those games. It doesn’t say, “Eat this, not that.” It says, “Wake up.” And when you do, you see that all these dietary rules and restrictions are just another part of the illusion…

…another set of chains you’ve wrapped around yourself.

The Only Food for the Soul

So, where does this leave us?

Are you free to eat whatever you want? Absolutely.

Does it matter in the grand scheme of your spiritual journey? Not one bit. The only food that truly nourishes the soul is the recognition of your true nature. Everything else is just window dressing, a distraction from the real work of awakening.

You can eat like a saint and still be stuck in the dream, or you can feast like a sinner and be free. The choice, as always, is yours. The takeaway? Don’t get lost in the weeds of dietary dogma. The path to awakening isn’t found in your fridge. It’s in the realization that nothing you consume will bring you closer to or further from your true self. Non-duality doesn’t give a fig about what’s on your plate. It’s only interested in what’s in your heart—whether that’s filled with fear or with the courage to see through the illusion.

You already know, deep down, what’s best for your body—but when it comes to your soul, go ahead, eat what you want. Just don’t confuse your meal with your spiritual practice. The real feast is waking up…

…to the truth that none of it matters.
