(Rich) Anger

[Guest guest]

<<<<<There's just a lot of anger I guess at trying to stay raw and it translates

to a heaviness of emotion that I identify as mental pain or detox. I suppose my

body is adjusting to the diet too, although I don't sense anything. I know I

have to rest frequently and let my mind unwind. A couple hours on the internet

for example and I have to lay down and let my angry mind process itself back to

quietude.>>>

 

Hi Rich,

Dr. Morter in his book " Your Health Your Choice " says that food is either

expansive or contractive. Just as it has an akaline or acid reaction on the

body. He says your body constantly works to maintain balance. If you give it

contractive foods only, it will balance the restrictive effect. Energy that has

been directed inward will rebound outward. The balancing process may take the

form of explosive outbursts of temper. Volatile behavior is a personality trait

that can develop from a diet made up predominatly of contractive foods.

Similarly, a strict vegetarian who eats only expansive fruits and vegetables may

develop food-induced personality quirks. A strict vegetarian may have fruit

juice for breakfast, carrot juice for lunch, and a salad for dinner. With no

contractive foods as balancing agents, he may become so " spaced out " he is

unable to concentrate. One thought tumbles on top of another, or his mind

wanders and he isn't able to carry a thought through to completion. In the same

vein, the effect sugar has on some children and some adults is a symptom of

physiological balance-seeking. Many have been stigmatized with the

" hyperactive " label have been found to settle down to normal levels of activity

when expansive sugar is restricted from their diets. Balance is the key to a

healthy body, a healthy attitude, and a healthy personality.

Maybe, I just don't put much stock in the physical aspects of eating

raw. I think it's mostly a mental thing. I may be wrong, but I

think someone could eat just about anything in the raw plant food

category and be perfectly satisfied, mentally balanced, and

spiritually happy if they were mentally clear. In other words,

mental energy is real and just like we have gunk stuck to our

physical insides because of the SAD diet, we have mental gunk of

various beliefs and thoughts that aren't good for us and need to be

cleared out.

 

What are examples of contractive foods, and expansive foods?

 

Certainly all my processing is internal, there is no volatile

behavior. I may be processing a lot of emotion on the inside but on

the outside I appear tranquil. There's so much energy though I

probably come across as determined (determined about what, no one

could guess) more than anything else.

 

" A strict vegetarian may have fruit juice for breakfast, carrot juice

I'll grant you that your example of a strict vegetarian is very

plausible in physical terms.

 

Sugar is a cooked food issue, too much complication there for me

to " digest " .

 

Although " balance is the key to a healthy body, a healthy attitude,

and a healthy personality, " my definition of balance may be different

than yours.

Rich, you said, " In other words, mental energy is real and just like we have

gunk stuck to our

physical insides because of the SAD diet, we have mental gunk of

various beliefs and thoughts that aren't good for us and need to be

cleared out. "

 

I'm asking you, How does one go about clearing out those various beliefs and

thoughts that aren't good for us? It certainly sounds like you are on the

right path. What other kind of food might that require? What might that

food be that feeds and fuels one's mental health and well being? Might it

be something all together different than raw food?

 

Rich, You said, " There's so much energy though I probably come across as

determined (determined about what, no one could guess) more than anything

else. "

 

I'm asking, if your determination produced the results that you so much

desire, what would that feel like? What would that be like? What would

that look like?

 

Rich, You state, " Although balance is the key to a healthy body, a healthy

attitude,

and a healthy personality, " my definition of balance may be different than

yours.

 

I'm asking, what is your definition of balance? Therein lays the possible

key to a more direct route to what it is that you so desire and are

determined to acquire.

 

In Health and Caring,

Sasha

I do put stock in the physical aspect.

 

I am not a scientist by training, but I am determined

to educate myself as best as I can.

 

It really " angers " me to see guys like this Dr. Morter

(death-er?) make statements about food and the

digestive process without any biochemical data to

support his claims.

 

What? Is it some psycho-spiritual mumbo-jumbo? I

suspect such statements. I am terribly skeptical of

sophistical assertions. What is it he is saying

really? Is it nutritional-biochemical science based?

Or is pure imagination?

 

tev, the skeptic

There's only one route, finding the will of a personal God fully in

your life. He does the mental cleaning, if we stay true to what we

believe is his will for us. This is the spiritual food, as the

teacher said, " I have meat that you know not of. "

 

If my " determination produced the results that (I) so much desire, " I

would experience the peace of God which surpasses all understanding.

I would be happy. It would look like serenity, perfect self control

and joy.

 

The point about balance had to do with physical food balance versus

mental balance overcoming any physical conditions. My definition of

balance is that the spiritually whole do not have to be concerned

with physical eating issues, they just eat as they believe they

spiritually should. And yes, this is " the possible key to a more

direct route to what it is that (I) so desire and (am) determined to

acquire. " Thanks for caring.
