prepare yourself to learn much about yourself, i can't even tell you how much i've "akoken" and realized many things that are very hard to realize. like you mentioned, knowing you're afraid because you grew up knowing certain things and that is what's comfortable, i hear you loud and clear on that one. i myself since starting raw food have had a long string of eye opening epiphanys. some are hard to deal with, but i'm amazed to know i can because of my food choice. i know it sounds nuts, but becoming a raw foodist has made me aware of so many things on soooo many levels, be it global, or personal. the personal stuff is very hard to face, but i have learned the discipline and patience needed to deal with it as it comes. the key words being deal as it comes. lots of people can realize certain traits about themselves and function thru them whether they are positive or not. i truely believe because of the many skills (not just chefing) that come with the raw food territory, i have become empowered to change the bad, improve the good, and just be a happier person all around. i wish you all the luck and await to hear some profound things from you.
peace
