∞ Health History
My father died in 1964 of a massive heart attack. My mother died in May 2002 of colon cancer.
2002 was a major turning point in my life from a health/spiritual point of view. I made conscious changes to manifest my physical/spiritual potential. I took up Ashtanga yoga and immersed my self in Yogic philosophy.
Immediately thereafter, I decided to simply improve my diet. My entire life I felt that my diet was nutritionally inferior and I strongly resisted the (Czech and Slovak) eating traditions of my family in which I was raised. First, I transitioned to a standard American diet (SAD) and within about three months experienced radical and provocative physical improvements.
As I contemplated the relationship between food and various aspects of life, I explored via the web some of my emerging fundamental questions and interests. On the web in 2003, I discovered an upcoming lecture given by David Wolfe in Montreal. I travelled to the top of Mont Royal to hear the talk which would change my eating habits forever. It was an evening of shock and awe. His passionate commentaries on raw foods resonated with and excited me. When I returned to Toronto after that weekend I began to study his books, consume his products and went on to examine the related works of Gabriel Cousins and the Hippocrates Institute, and I began regularly attending raw food events in Toronto.
Living Foods Health Educator, Wayne Gendel of Toronto helped me to enliven my diet. Since then, I became immediately vegetarian, then vegan, then in 2005 60% raw, and in 2008 95-100% raw (mostly, and most happily, at 100% raw).
My changes feel like they are taking place less on the physical level and more on the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual level. I more often feel luminous, clear headed and better than ever before in my life. I continue to be passionate about studying, understanding, and experiencing every nuance of the raw vegan lifestyle. I feel I still wish to further refine myself biochemically and spiritually. I have experienced numerous changes, synchronicities, magic and miracles that I believe have arisen from this discipline exclusively. Since it is impossible to pinpoint causes, I have come to the conclusion that I don't care if this is all pure imagination. It's working for me.
∞ Current Issues/Holistic Aspirations I feel I am being led on a path customized for me. I yearn for more knowledge and experience. I would like to purify my body optimally (whatever that means) and express myself with authenticity and integrity both in my personal relationships, in my career, and with the Divine. I aspire to experience myself as a superconductor for communication with the Divine (a Gabriel Cousins' concept). I am exploring the phenomena of happiness, peace, compassion and bliss, ... all of which challenge me.
I would love to experience God directly, Samadhi. And I don't. Scared.
