Do you think raw food wakes you up?

Does it make you different (after maybe years)?

Do people see you different (body and mind)?

Do you see people different?

What did you become?

Do you think raw food wakes you up?

No, the birds wake me up.

Does it make you different (after maybe years)?

Yes, I became healthier, I looked younger, I became more 'clear' mentally and emotionally, and physically stronger.

Do people see you different (body and mind)?

I don't know - you'd have to ask them.

Do you see people different?

No, they look the same to me.

What did you become?

I became an orangutan.

1-4: Yes, IF you do it correctly and live a corresponding lifestyle.

5: Still in the process of becoming. What I will ultimately become, however, is fully conscious. And that is the whole point and the highest goal of life.

Yes, I will add that when I'm 100% Raw, I have the raw food high that you can't get anywhere else and it's great.

I think cooked food creates some kind of mental distortion that has to do with social domestication. Food has a profound effect but maybe not the same effect on everybody. When you stop eating cooked food, you may or you may not, experience the lifting of the curtain of distortion.

It didn't change me more than any other major shift in my life so yes it did have an effect but so does everything else. Child birth, yoga, school, moving to a new place, relationships, etc.
Every phase of life brings change. I am becoming the grown up version of my younger self all the time.

I like KidRaw's post! lol. Something intresting Brian Clement said: "I feel like a whole new person every seven years." Suppossedly we completely replace every cell in the body in seven years if given the right nutrients and Brian says he actually feels that! Take a look at one of Brians most recent video's, he is close to seventy years young! He admits he does not have good genes and lived a very unhealthy life before starting all this! Pretty cool.

Do you think raw food wakes you up?
Absolutely

Does it make you different (after maybe years)?
I feel different...more energy & clarity of thought.

Do people see you different (body and mind)?
Not sure, it was pretty gradual for me. I never was "unhealthy" or overweight, so any physical changes would be minimal.

Do you see people different?
Nope. And I prefer to stay down-to-earth about being raw, myself. No need to scare off anyone else who might be curious!

What did you become?
Nothing that wasn't already in there somewhere

There are deeper levels of change. The one that I think makes a difference is the perception of left brain. People with initial strong left brain dominance would not experience this change. While people ininitially in between may swing to the other side (right brain). This creates a huge change in the perception of concepts. Only people who swinged can identify with the change I am afraid.

I can relate. There's a psychological effect any time you break a habit and do something completely different. Switching to raw, I had to renounce the foods I was used to eating all my life, and substitute it with different ones. I think the first 2-3 weeks I was like in ecstasy , the switch had such a dramatic effect on my brain. It was a tremendous change and the best thing I've done in my life. Coincidentally, around the same time I started stumbling on all kinds 'revealing' types of documentaries like Kymatica and Zeitgeist, which woke me up socially and politically. Spiritually, my meditations became deeper. I realize how brainwashed I used to be, to the point that I couldn't think outside of box. And now that's all I do. I realize I don't have to live my life like everyone else -get married, have kids, big house, etc. I don't have to follow the rules on how to furnish my place or what accessories I wear. I do what I like and what makes ME happy. Etc. etc. No TV or mass media either, but it's been like that before I went raw. I feel very different from everyone else, and I"m totally happy with it, I never felt more comfortable in my own skin. Not sure how other people perceive me, but I don't seem to be having problems socially. I'm surrounded by loving supportive people..

I think I could now write a book like no other book Ever. I am not attracted to eastern type of philosophies neither western which does not mean I have something.
