Information is food for the mind and soul

information is like food for the mind. eat too much and it can kill you, eat too little and you will die of starvation. Try to take in information in a similar matter. It takes time for the body to digest food as it takes time for the mind to digest and make sense of information it receives. The ability to process information at a pace that makes sense to YOU in which you can enjoy or savor at the same time is an art that only you can master. In the wisdom of alan watts, taking in information without proper digestion gives one a sort of spiritual indigestion. However most of the time the case seems  to  people are dying of malnourished or insubstantial information rather than taking in too much at one time. Eating junk food can be considered insubtantial or energy malnourshied of any substance since these types of food don't contain any important nutrients and can be compared to, in a metaphysical sense, takingi nformation which does nothing for the mind like watching too much trash tv or working a dead end job. But even then, the goal of the enlightened human has always been to find the secret element that can transform lead into gold, the insubtantial into the most substantial, which is possible with information that is insubstantial but a great proccess is undertaken.

 all life exists between both the points of too much and too little so try to find the balance between both. The balance is not a straight line but is more like physics in the sense that 2 opposing of forces cancel each other out.
