Hmmm… I think the break from cooked food has got me thinking some more on what may be the real cause of my cramps. Maybe this is my ego’s attempt at looking for a way out of becoming a raw vegan :P… The more I think about it, I’m almost positive that caffeine and dairy are the major culprits. I can give up caffeine and dairy, just not sure I’m ready to totally give up all cooked foods yet. Nice going ego.

Speaking of ego, I also decided to start reading A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle and to follow along with Oprah and Eckhart’s Monday night classes. I’m just finishing up chapter 2 and I must say, it’s a lot to grasp. He speaks quite a bit about the dysfunction of identifying ourselves with our ego and all the many things that it wants and needs. As I read this book, I can’t help but to think that maybe I’m not quite awakened yet. Or maybe that’s what my ego wants me to believe… Nonetheless, I intend to read the entire book and follow along with the classes. I find that I comprehend the book better after I watch the videos.

Anyhow, I gotta go. ‘Til next time.
