Oats take care of every particle of "being. Brain, nerves, blood vessels, bones, psyche, emotions, ... everything is fed to perfection with attention and life energy from the oat energy.

However, oat people are also very focused on appearance and other futilities. How others behold them occupies them frequently. Consequently, he can lose himself in too much attention to outward appearances, to his muscles, to sunburnt skin, etc. As a result, he lives somewhat deadened and cut off from his own deeper wisdom and content. Like a flower that identifies only with its yellow petals, but forgets its rich soul essence. Matter detached from its source becomes depleted and dies. True immortal health begins with unity between soul and body, between substance and form.
