Know Thyself, raw foodist, and understand that calling upon the Air Gods to deliver you safely to Brooklyn is powerful magick. And so is buying a single ride Metro card at the automated kiosk. Both effective magick.
So in my search to understand my true will so I can manifest it at all, I have mostly discovered that what I truly desire, at the base of everything, is to experience elation, unfaltering health, and Love with a capitol letter. Eating raw food therefore is the ultimate act of reality manipulation - of conscious manifestation - of powerful magick I have ever embarked upon.
I choose to believe in health. I choose to believe I innately and effortlessly see a path to health. I begin walking the path to health. I become healthy; my skin becomes clear and actually radiates a visibly alive glow. My mind grows outward in conceptual, communal thought. Odd pains and consistent complaints finally resolve themselves. I feel good. I like how I look. I attract others experiencing the same reality. My life really is of higher quality. Raw food, as a magickal system, works. And let's face it; magick isn't a religion. It is a method of reality manipulation. If it serves it is valuable. If it doesn't create what you wish to experience, it is discarded for something that does. Magick has no room for dogma nor tradition.
So I see people becoming healthy. I see astute magickians creating themselves in a world of elated, unfaltering health and Love simply by eating fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that have not been tampered with my heat. Like every other species of life on this planet. We are the only that tamper with fire. Please ... what happens when you add fire to the house you live in? It burns down. It is not a house any more. It turns to something new: acidic ash. The same happens with fire and say, ... food. Perhaps we are impressing upon our children how our bodies really are the ingredients we give them. The cupcake is eggs, sugar, milk and artificial flavors. The carrot juice is organic. There is no wrong way to build a body. The body will build. But mine is going to be constructed with only the highest quality ingredients. This is not a discount body.
I see people becoming healthy, reaching their vitality goals, effectively manipulating their world to the world they wish it to be and then I see them retract. Just a bit. Not back to their previous incarnation as a coffee drinker or anything: with crusties in their eyes in the morning (people, this is detox and not "normal"), with dull skin and obsessive thoughts surrounding their diets. Let's face it; being open minded is what got us here - we could see so far outside the box, that we went against everything our world knows and shows, and started eating raw vegan food. So why do we become closed minded once we get here? The reason is because we have put faith in the magickal system that got us here. We created a dogma, a rule, out of eating raw food, "Raw food makes me healthy" specifically, then we get attached to that system, making it a dogma, and then we become rigid, unable to grow, and focused more on why we feel badly than why we feel great anymore.
Let me suggest at this point (and you do have to go there to get here, so no rush - just take your time) - let me suggest that you are healthy, noncontingent upon food. It is your pure, natural state. it is your birthright. It is easy to feel good all the time. That's what humans are made to do. Any diversion from that is not an expression of your purpose and natural state as a human being. So get out of the way with your habits and let yourself be as great as you are meant to be!
Don't eat raw food because it will make you healthy. Eat raw food because the flavors are stimulating, the colors are brilliant, the textures alive, the nutrients satisfying - eat raw food because it gives you joy. Elation is, I'm pretty sure, part of being healthy. Eating raw food is useful magick.
Know thy will.

This is very inspirational. Thank you.
I've noticed a definite connection between eating raw and manifesting magical things in my life. It's sometimes easy for the mind to turn raw foodism into a, well, -ism, a dogma. I have to remind myself that eating raw is about the joy, bliss, and pleasure I receive and that radiates through me.
Great insights. Recently I have been thinking about this as well. How we get attached to a way of living. A way of living that has us seperate from society in the name of being healthy.. we make the rules, I love what you said "rawfood makes me healthy... we get attached to that system, making it a dogma." :))) Thanks for reminding us all to keep it real and do it for the sensual pleasure....:)
keep creating art beautiful one.

It seems that you have found your way. It may be the way for others, but other ways are still possible.
Enjoy your way - make it your own, because it requires no validation. If others choose to follow in awareness, more power to them. If they find a different path, more power to them also.
Something from your earlier post (I have been distracted by samsara as of late) - do not bow to Chaos. You are a slave to no one, let alone Chaos, which is about being free and never controlled. Even to be controlled by Chaos alone is not the way, as I see it.
Be free. Raw food is your way, your freedom and no one can take that away. You are free if you choose it. You are bound if you choose it too.
Cailean.
You all are dead on.
For the Chaos minded; yes, raw vegan lifestyle is my chosen reality currently and for as long as it serves me. It continues so I continue. Of course I will not hesitate to change my ways if I no longer derive the results I desire.
For the raw fooders; let's keep it real - dead on. The purpose of food is the chance to be nurtured. How can obsession and even "health minded" eating disorders bring us nutrition? Vegetarianism and veganism are exclusive diets: defined by what one does NOT eat. However raw food is an inclusive diet: defined by what you DO eat. It does not matter what percent raw you are (although I invarriably feel better at high percents) - love raw and call yourself so!
Back to the Chaos minded: I learned several years ago that the magnetic pull of the ever unimaginability of Chaos, my Lover, can be a lot like staring at one's self in the reflecting pool - empty and shallow unless the surface is disturbed. It is easy to romance and hide within "all possibility" and never make it to manifestation for lack of perceived conceptual purpose. But this is our playground. Chaos as well as raw food should be our freedom or nothing at all!
Indeed, Tonya. Control is an illusion. Order is a lie. Chaos is your friend. That is why, personally, I do not bow to Chaos or anyone. I embrace Chaos, as I would a friend. :)
You are right also about the sublimation into Chaos without a proper appreciation - to be enslaved, to be in thrall to Chaos but that's not what Chaos is about. It is indeed our own freedom, to follow the intoxicating piping of inner will that is Chaos. To be consumed by it is to fall by the wayside. Chaos, in my opinion, is about control of the self, not subjugating yourself even to Chaos. For if you are not in control of yourself, how sure are you of what is in control of you?
Part of that manifestation you and others speak of is that our personal will changing reality. Beyond creative visualization but changing the world with our thought, even our subconscious. To be a conduit for change, to trigger change within the world even passively because Chaos becomes our nature ... to be individual but to be OF Chaos is a wonderful thing indeed - for myself, it is what we should always have experienced, it is the natural state of Life itself.
I feel that, through your intuitive understanding of deeper meaning, you have achieved that state as well. Kudos! Although you hardly need validation - to reach it is reward enough.
By the by, sister-in-Chaos Tonya, you impress me more with every post. It is good. I am glad, through the Hand of Chaos, that I was able to converse with you and hopefully for many moons more! :)
