Guest guest Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I believe that fasting and eating lightly tends to bring up undealt with emotions that are hidden within. An all raw diet can be like fasting compared to eating heavy meats and starches...especially if your raw diet is mostly very simple fruits and vegetables. Just as it releases toxins within the physical body, this light eating releases emotional baggage that we have accumulated from the past. We may not even know some of this has been stored in our spirit/psyche until it " comes up " . Perhaps you may want to seek a professional counselor or confidant who can help you work through this. We all need to do this at different times in our lives. Those of us who hold to deep spiritual convictions may find release and/or solace in our faith. If the time is not right to deal with these emotions (for whatever reason), then maybe you need to eat a more filling raw diet to " calm " these emotions until the time is right. More Avos, natural oils, more nuts, dehydrated breads and crackers and raw home made sweets...or just eating more of the right balance can all help to subdue this cleansing reaction. Also these emotions may signal that you are not getting the full spectrum of nutrients that you need and it is a warning sign to add or subtract something for a proper balance.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 " I believe that fasting and eating lightly tends to bring up undealt with emotions that are hidden within. " Hoorah, a woman after my own heart. My diet does feel like fasting, simple fruits and vegetables. I think all my emotional baggage that I've accumulated from the past is trying to surface to be expelled. I can't tap this clearing unless I'm raw, I've proven that over and over again for a long time. I'm too proud " to seek a professional counselor or confidant who can help (me) work through this. " I don't have much respect for the intelligence of a human being. My faith, which is just concentrating on God's will for me, is all I can handle attempting.

More Avos, natural oils, more nuts, dehydrated breads and crackers and raw home made sweets... " The perfectionist in me abhors the idea of not being able to deal with any emotion that I consider not for me. But I'm compensating or compromising with myself right now by allowing myself to eat anything as long as I stay in the raw plant food category. Emotions signaling about physical nutrients? I think it's all mindal, the body is completely neutral and just follows along with what the mind believes. Detox pain isn't physical at all, it's just the mind changing. Now this is hard to believe considering how sick the body can get and then physically restore itself to optimal functioning.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Rich you said: I'm compensating or compromising with myself right now by allowing myself to eat anything as long as I stay in the raw plant food category. Diana says: Oh, go ahead don't deny yourself the pleasure of the wonderful experience of the broad spectrum of raw tastes! Indulge;-) Rich, you said: I don't have much respect for the intelligence of a human being. My faith, which is just concentrating on God's will for me, is all I can handle attempting. Diana says: That is truly brilliant, for the greater reward comes not from seeking man's help as I previously suggested...but from not even asking of man... (Psa 108:12) Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. (Psa 108:13) Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yes, the rainbow of colors and flavors in the raw fruits, vegetables and nuts kingdom. I put all my trust in God. My gospel is do the will of God and be of service to man. Of course that service and love is how God would have me do it.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 WHERE'S THE TRUTH? More than likely you will find the truth in the most unexpected place. Shine the light within -- on your own THOUGHTS, BELIEFS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND DECISIONS, Rich. I have taken the liberty to re-produce your OWN e-mail, since in your words you are distrusting of other's and professional help. I don't mean this to offend, only to point to a particular direction in order to show my continued care and concern to another who SEEKING. Your road is your own, until you turn to others for support. When you do that, you invite the opinions of others. If you like, hit the delete key, and continue on the road you are on. Consider that carefully! You can begin there, but please make sure that there is no conflict in what you say you want, and the realization of it or the manifestation of what it is that you want. The sign post along side the direction in which I point says " NO RETURN. " Notice, all I did was turn your statements into questions. Quite a simple exercise in order to produce profound results. Also, before you begin, go back and read Diana of Dewberry's assistance. She continues to give you great support. I can't tap this clearing unless I'm raw, I've proven that over and over again for a long time? I'm too PROUD to seek a professional counselor or confidant who can help (me) work through this? I don't have much respect for the intelligence of a human being? My faith, which is just concentrating on God's will for me, is all I can handle attempting? The PERFECTIONIST in me abhors the idea of not being able to deal with any emotion THAT MY I CONSIDER'S not for me! (I as in I-Dentity, Rich) I'M AM COMPENSATING AND I AM compromising myself right now by allowing myself to eat anything as long as I stay in the raw plant food category. Emotions signaling about physical nutrients? I think it's all mind, the body is completely neutral and just follows along with what the mind believes?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I have found this to be true too. I haven't done a long term fast (my longest being 7 days), but since the advent of raw-eating, I have dealt with all sorts of past " garbage " arising from the " bowels " of my being, to be eliminated. I am definitely a more sane person (though there are some who would question that), now that I am raw. tev --- Rawist <seconaphim wrote: > " I believe that fasting and eating lightly tends to > bring up undealt > with emotions that are hidden within.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 The truth is within you. Yes, it interesting to converse with others about a road that you could be on alone and then get their opinions. I hope I experience no more conflict in what I say I want or the realization/manifestation of it. " NO RETURN " along the direction pointed in sounds like a good motto.
