Consciousness & Addiction

Today the Daily Raw Inspiration says "When you go raw and your body gets clear, suddenly you can hear your thoughts really well."

 

Isn't it so interesting how true this is? I think the steps we take to be truer, more real, honest withourselves, etc. actually build our consciouness. Another viewpoint is that the MSG, preservatives, refined foods and other non-foodstuffs we consume literally, on a chemical level, numb our minds. I am sure they do.

 

It feels so good to wake up and see life for what it is! See habits, addictions, numbness for what it is. Let's be honest with ourselves, let's be true. Let's take care of our bodies and minds, and avoid taking harmful substances into our body. Any substance that isn't food is a harmful, habit-forming drug. So next time you read the list of ingredients, ask yourself if these items are actually food. It is something real that came from the earth, designed as food for our species? If not, you are probably addicted to it. Pay attention next time you crave something. Are you craving the food, or are you craving the substances that come packages with the food? Usually it is a condiment you crave. Try eating the food plain, without condiments. If this doesn't appeal to you, that's because you are craving (and hence addicted) to the substances in the condiments. If you don't consume it on a regular basis, you begin to feel withdrawal symptoms like weakness, nausea, light-headedness, headache.
