basic question-Linda

Hello Raw Soul:

Thanks...I found myself thinking about Bev's question, raw foods, and

the individual/group evolutionary jump yesterday, as I moved through the

day. I feel that I have had an open window of awareness, after

being on raw foods for just a few days. I was surprised to experience

the 21 days like the experience of fasting totally from food. I find

myself very dissatisfied with what I was and continue to feed my family,

because my daughter is not invested at this point in making the "switch."

In my own form of a cycle of suffering, my daily "run through paradise,"

resulted in us eating not as healthy as I thought we were, until I paused

with the raw foods. While we ate salads, drank fresh juice, etc.,

we also ate alot of fried veggie burgers, prepackaged "health food", tacos

with cheese, good old fashioned cheesy macaroni, and alot of starchy foods.

At the same time, yesterday, as I got ready to prepare a raw foods recipe

from the Juliano recipe book, I noticed it had 1/2 cup of oil

and macadamia nuts, to be added with something with avocado...a meal which

has alot of fat, and if eaten alot, no wonder there are loads of websites

with people who suffer from the complications of raw foods (Bev's e-mail).

I think people need to have a way to check-in to maintain awareness whether

through fasting, raw foods, a 50% raw foods, being consciously vegan,

or some other process and with the awareness, they will have a choice about

whether or not they want to live with what they know is causing suffering....Peace,
