A few people have made suggestions along these lines but I haven't seen a response from Steve.
Steve, why not use a 30-day trial to demonstrate the process and results of radically changing one of your belief systems? See if you can convince yourself that cheeseburgers, onion rings, donuts, etc. contain the same vibrant energy that you once saw in produce. Change your reality so that you can eat foods you currently consider bad for you without any ill effects. I'm not being at all sarcastic - I think that would be a powerful demonstration of one of the key ideas you frequently return to in your posts.
So, my proposal is that you:
- Outline a diet that is the "opposite" of a raw food diet. Forget organic, eat meat, have desserts with preservatives, drink stuff sweetened with corn syrup... you get the picture.
- Spend time changing your belief system about what you consume such that the above diet should produce the same result as your current 30-day trial - calmness, even energy levels, feelings of euphoria and health.
- Spend 30 days following this diet and see whether you're able to successfully change such a core belief.
The reason I'm suggesting this trial is that the trials you've done seem to follow the pattern of changing something external to your mind (diet, sleep pattern) to see what effect it has on your mind. But you often talk about your mind being responsible for the reality you live in. So it seems like a "mind over matter" experiment would be more relevant (I could always be missing something).
It might be more challenging than a "change my behavior to observe the effects on my mind" kind of trial, but it might also be more rewarding and enlightening. And if anyone is capable of doing it, it's gotta be you.
In any case, I would at least like to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks.
