Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 Once again you have shorted yourself the opportunity to be available to the benefits of rawness because of your conflicted thinking about how to generate heat with candle power.<br><br>There is no higher attainment than to clean ones bowels with a few pounds of raw carrots, thus cleaning the mind and abrogating the tormented conflictedness to the everlasting abyss.<br><br>For it is wiser to think in silence rather than risk promoting the thought with fingers.<br><br>Embrace the darkness and save the wax.<br><br>Irwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Dear Professor Cory,<br><br>Thank you for your reply.<br><br>Since embarking on raw I have found that my thinking and feeling do seem to be more available to me.<br><br>This creates for me a new set of problems.<br><br>As we perceive by making distinctions, the progress of my thinking is characterised by cognitive dissonance.<br><br>As we feel by making no distinction between the inner and outer worlds, I am discovering the feelings I have so long repressed.<br><br>So raw has led me to cognitive dissonance and repressed feelings.<br><br>Naturally I am not unique, so I am interested in listening to the thoughts and feeling of others as they take the raw journey.<br><br>Victor.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 It is impossible to ascertain how much of the change in your emotional state and clarity of thinking, since becoming raw, is due to your change in diet and how much is due to other factors. <br><br>The mere fact that you have thought things through clearly enough to have chosen the raw path has improved the clarity of your thinking in general. <br><br>The mere fact that you have cared enough about yourself to choose a diet that treats your body better causes a general improvement in your emotional state.<br><br>Also, people who decide to go raw often change other areas in their life at the same time. They may start exercising or doing yoga or qigong more regularly or they may start doing breathing exercises. They may keep away from places with cigarette smoke and spend more time in the country or go to the beach more frequently.<br><br>With all these varables it is extremely difficult to determine how much of a change in mental and emotional state is due to the raw diet and how much is due to other factors. <br><br>My own personal experience is that raw diet does improve physical health and that improvement in physical health always causes improvement in clarity of thinking. Also, i have found that eating raw has resulted in less toxins in my bloodstream, and ones of a less toxic nature, and that has resulted in a calmer emotonal state. <br><br>Maybe someday a scientific study will be done that weighs all the different above mentioned factors so that we can get some idea of how much a raw diet is responsible for mental and emotional changes and how much is due to the other factors. All of the above also applies to physical changes caused by eating raw. We need some raw scientists or researchers who will instigate these raw studies.
