This wisdom doesn t diminish the horror of the recent terrorist acts, nor the guilt of the terrorists. But it puts it into a perspective in which we can be powerful, whole beings again rather than lose ourselves, who we really are, in a vicious cycle of anger and victim-ness from which we may never emerge. I didn t feel called to share my experience of raw, whole living foods just because I am interested in health and healing. That is the power of a whole being. That is the power that whole, raw food helps us get back in touch with.
Whole beings are naturally powerful.
The toxins in cooked and processed foods, however, block your natural power. As you can see in the article on my website about toxins created by cooking, many of these toxins actually have a sedative affect on the brain. Perhaps cooking was the evil knowledge given to Eve by the snake, a symbol of fire in many cultures, in the Garden of Eden. Toxins rob your body of energy as the body struggles to survive and maintain some semblance of homeostasis or balance. Toxins from cooking, not to mention the artificial flavorings and chemicals found in processed and fast foods, block molecular receptors in your nose and mouth that otherwise have the ability to sense vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and other nutrients.
