Hi Steve (and everyone),

Thank you so much for your writing. I discovered your site a few months ago and thoroughly enjoy reading and listening to the wealth of ideas and experiences you are sharing. I have learned a lot and been greatly inspired and provoked by who you are and what you do.

Your series on career fulfillment helped and supported me in making the decision to resign from my ‘slave job’ and I am very excited about starting a new and improved version of ‘working life’ in 2 weeks’ time! Thank you for sharing your journey and encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone towards freedom and fulfillment!

This is my first post and what prompted it was your (what I consider) brilliant idea in ‘Raw Food Diet – Day 19’ about changing your beliefs about food rather than restricting your diet further and further.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I would love to support you in exploring this idea! This is a perspective on food that makes the most sense to me from the ‘subjective reality/law of attraction/thoughts create reality’ point of view. How can there be any fixed ‘reality’ about food? How can a raw carrot be more healthy than a revolting piece of fried chicken? I am under the impression that the vast majority of people have very firm beliefs about the ‘healthiness of food’ (there is so much knowledge ‘out there’ about the effect of food on the body) – and I am currently among them. But I have already started opening myself to changing these beliefs and it makes sense to me that we could do this.

Even the idea that someone could get sick from lead toxicity – or any, as you say, external cause. We could believe that our bodies are supremely healthy in all circumstances – that our body’s ability to be healthy is way more powerful than any little heavy metal toxin or rancid piece of chicken.

[confusing alternate possibility:
Or: If we are vibrating at the frequency of wellness do we just naturally attract other ‘high vibration’ objects into our reality via, for example, a natural desire to eat only ‘healthy’ food????? Do things really have a vibration other than those we assign them?]

I have a belief that holds me back with this food idea – that I can’t just be there now. That I have to be far more ‘spiritually developed’ than I am now (like the yogis in the drugs and sunlight examples) – that ordinary people like me can’t achieve this level of belief change and the resulting positive manifestation.

But seriously – that is crap, isn’t it – we can do it now!

I don’t think it would work to deliberately eat food that you are not attracted to (like maybe deep fried chicken) – but maybe you could do 30 days of eating just whatever you like with no rules – anything and everything that attracts you and you get enjoyment from. This would need to be combined with a belief that you can be healthy, clear headed, energetic, your ideal weight, etc completely independent of what you eat.

Whether you do or don’t go through with this I’m glad that you, me and others on this thread are intrigued with this idea!
