Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hi everyone, Here are a few additional comments from Elchanan about next week's free teleprogram with Elchanan and me. In my experience, almost everyone who tries a raw food lifestyle eventually gives up and returns to some other way of eating. Although one could recite a lengthy list of all the " reasons " why people " fail " , most of the reasons people typically offer are really quite secondary and therefore not causal in nature. In other words, the things we SAY cause people to give up on RF aren't really the cause at all. Of course, there is a body of knowledge that will help people eat in a progressively more healthful manner. But I find that people often seek bits of information, " What should I do about this? " because they lack a foundation that would enable them to figure things out for themselves. And so they do not achieve the degree of independence in their pursuit of raw foodism they would prefer. At the heart of the matter, I believe, is the opportunity and requirement that we each make certain rather profound shifts in our our beliefs and perceptions. Without these paradigm shifts, we simply lack the mental wherewithal to stay the course in the long term, or even to chart the right course in the first place. Most important, we remain a bit fearful and dependent on others for " guidance. " In contrast, if we lay a foundation made of just a few simple yet very powerful principles, our chances of success WITH EASE improve dramatically. During this (and hopefully subsequent) teleprograms, we will explore some of the paradigm shifts, the core principles, that can make a raw food lifestyle feel totally natural and easy for many people. Examples: - We nourish and nurture every part of our being through use. - Our symptoms ARE the healing process itself, and the messengers from our subconscious to our conscious mind. Internalizing just these two very fundamental principles about how our species operates can make all of life, not just eating, so much simpler and easier! And of course, we have more to share. We truly do hope people will take us up on this offer. We promise -- and it is a promise we WILL keep -- that we will share certain ideas, perspectives, and information you have not heard anywhere before. And we believe you will find great value in what we have to share. Finally, FYI, we plan to (try to) record this conversation and to share the recording with everyone who participates. A copy of the original announcement follows. Best to all, Bob, and on behalf of Elchanan _______________________ ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT THEME: " What are we trying to create, anyway? " (approx. 45 minutes) Followed by Q & A on any reasonable topic :) (approx. 45 minutes) DATE: Wednesday evening, July 12 TIME: 8:30 PM EDT/5:30 PM PDT DURATION: Approx. 90 minutes FORMAT: Presentation & interactive discussion, followed by open Q & A COST: FREE MAX PARTICIPANTS: 96 RSVP: BobFarrell <BobFarrell (in case ate the above, it's: BobFarrell " at " PathOfHealth " dot " org - substituting symbols for the " at " and " dot " DESCRIPTION Join in a lively discussion about one fundamental question: " What is health? " Many people explore a raw food diet and lifestyle to address significant health concerns. When asked, most people agree that they would love to be healthier and have more energy. But what do we actually mean when we speak such words? What do we mean by " have more energy? " How would " better health, " " greater vitality, " and " having more energy " show up in our lives? What would we actually experience and observe? How will we know when we reach our goal, when we really ARE that healthy and energetic? We are much more likely to succeed with raw food if we know where we are going with it. After all, it's difficult to use a map, to manifest and create clear, tangible, lasting results, with no clear destination in mind. We invite you all to join us as we explore and describe the real meaning of " health " . What we have to share may surprise and delight you! rawfood , rawfood wrote: > > > Reminder from the Calendar of rawfood > rawfood/cal > > Teleclass #2 - What is Health? > Wednesday July 12, 2006 > 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm > (This event does not repeat.) > (The next reminder for this event will be sent in 6 days, 12 hours, 1 minute.) > Event Location: Teleconference - details via separate email > > Notes: > special guest teacher: Elchanan > > > Set up birthday reminders! > http://us.rd./cal_us/rem/?rawfood\ /cal?v=9 & evt_type=13 > > Copyright 2006 Inc. . > http://www. > > > http://privacy./ > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
