Coma
Cuando comemos, nuestro cuerpo descompone los alimentos y obtiene de ellos tanto energía como materiales para construir y reparar el cuerpo.
El proceso es muy parecido a nivel simbólico en la Biblia. El alimento representa el deseo de bien y la comprensión que proviene de ese deseo de bien - la bondad y la comprensión que vienen del Señor. Pero para ponerlos en práctica tenemos que asimilarlos y hacerlos nuestros, lo cual es comer espiritualmente.

Arcana Coelestia # 8467
8467. 'Gather from it, each according to the mouth of his eating' means receiving and making it their own, each in accordance with his own ability. This is clear from the meaning of 'gathering' - when said in regard to the good of truth, which is meant by 'the manna' - as receiving; and from the meaning of 'each according to the mouth of his eating' as making their own, each in accordance with his own ability. For when 'according to the mouth of one's eating' refers to food it means in accordance with what is requisite and necessary to nourish [the body]; but when the expression refers to the good of truth it means in accordance with the ability to receive and make one's own, since 'eating' in the spiritual sense means making a thing one's own, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 4745.
