Changing from Cooked to Raw.

[Guest guest]

If changing to raw is harder than changing your religion, then

perhaps it's a good idea to mark the pathway for others.

 

In learning to change to raw I oscillate between cooked and raw. This

is a natural part of the learning process. To learn a new distinction

your move from one side to the other in order to get the distinction

clear.

 

As I move from cooked to raw I find I go through the same process

over and over. This is a good way to learn a new distinction.

 

I find I go through physical withdrawal symptoms for about five days,

then psychological withdrawal symptoms for about ten days.

 

The withdrawal symptoms are part of the learning process and may need

to be done many times until you learn how to eat raw.

 

I think it is a good idea to talk about this learning process to

someone who understands what's going on, someone like a raw food

coach.

Hi Victor,

 

Well, I think I agree with your process. I struggle

complying with the all raw diet, but know it's

absolutely the right way to go. Cooked foods make me

feel like junk.

 

I find your process works. If one goes raw for a long

duration and then incorporates cooked, the body feels

a harsh change and the toxic process becomes much more

dramatic. It's enough to make us not want to do that

again.

 

I often feel bad for people that just don't have the

slightest on what it really feels like to feel good.

Dear Lesley,

 

It may be that changing your diet is harder than changing your

religion and you need to be very highly motivated to do either.

 

Fear of annihilation motivates the two groups who change successfully

to raw food.

 

The first group fears physical annihilation through disease and

death. And the second fears annihilation of the psyche.

 

The first are old and the second are young and fanatical.

 

Once you understand these facts of life, it becomes a matter of the

learning process.

 

The first step is: make a distinction! A distinction between raw and

cooked food. We do this quite naturally by starting to eat raw and

then desiring to eat cooked. This is the way we learn about a

distinction: by exploring one side of the distinction, raw, then we

explore the other, cooked. Always remember it doesn't matter which

side of the distintion you are on, the important thing is to keep

moving back and forth across the distinction between raw and cooked.

 

The learning process is helped if you keep a simple record of how you

feel and think when you are eating raw and how you feel and think as

you are eating cooked. It can also be useful to share this with

sympathetic friends. Always remembering you are learning to make a

distinction that you had not made before and is not made by most

people including your mother.

 

Should you succeed in your mission, you get two prizes. The first is

sparking health and the second is that you have learnt to create a

distinction that wasn't there at first. There is a secret third prize

and that is you might make friends along the way particularly if you

cook for them. People love to be fed, even raw food.

Truth was that it brought to mind that quote from Oscar Wilde

 

" I should have said that "

 

Never mind
