Everything You Know Is Wrong
I enjoyed Robin’s recent post, especially the part about how
eating/exercising in tune with our bodies and our environment puts us back in
touch with our
hardwiring, and we can get our “sixth sense” back.
I too have experienced this, and I think there is another reason beyond those
Robin mentions. It is such a big step to reject everything we have been
taught about diet, nutrition and health. It is an even bigger step to be open
to
the possibility that our government, educational and medical establishments
have purposely mislead us and given us information that directly leads to most
of the health problems that exist in “civilized” society today. It is a
gargantuan step for people here who are parents to accept that these
institutions
have dispensed information that has potentially harmed their children. As part
of our socialization, we all accept and incorporate a “reality” into our
consciousness, and filter out any stimuli that are not consistent. Once we
start
to reject this “reality” and the authority figures that support it, then we
become more accepting of these other stimuli, we don’t edit them out.
