When I eat fruit it makes time stop and I am able to live in the moment. I am keeping a blog about my journey.<BR/>Thank you Mango and all of the other people who have participated in these awesome interviews!!!<BR/>Love to you and yours,<BR/>TrinaDarkmoon Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523206314409225278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36582097.post-18029085252134949712009-03-31T14:01:00.000+11:002009-03-31T14:01:00.000+11:00Hi all,Cat's journey is truly inspiring!Lama Jigme...Hi all,<BR/>Cat's journey is truly inspiring!<BR/><BR/>Lama Jigme,<BR/>Fruitarianism is not something you need to be mentored into, I would have imagined that part of being a buddhist monk was about overcoming worldly addictions, and surely such a skill should help succeeding at fruitarianism.<BR/><BR/>Of course, if you are relying on food donations to eat, then this would make things more difficult. Only you can know where your priorities are in life, and what is most important for you. If you wish to succeed as a fruitarian, then you have the power to do so, and to make it happen for you. You cannot rely on others to make you succeed. I think you already know and understand the reasons and practicality behind fuitarianism, it is now just a question of letting go of old habits, and putting theory into practise, I believe it well help you find the peace you seek.<BR/><BR/>Ronald,<BR/>if it were that easy to find fruitarians of long standing, I would be interviewing them. Unfortunately it's not, although the internet sometimes appears to make that task easier.<BR/><BR/>However, I plan to do follow up interviews too, and I hope with time, there will be more long term fruitarians in practise as well as in theory, and maybe a few more will come out of the woodwork on the way.<BR/><BR/>peace,<BR/>mangoMangohttp://mangodurian.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36582097.post-27080973509136081762009-03-30T18:07:00.000+11:002009-03-30T18:07:00.000+11:00Hey Ronald!I can understand you having doubt about...Hey Ronald!<BR/><BR/>I can understand you having doubt about whether newbies will stick to it...but couldn't you have a little faith?<BR/>Even if some fail, this does not have to mean that I will...give me a chance ;))<BR/><BR/>Also, I believe that the fruitarian 'community' is not that big and isn't it nice to also hear from the ones trying?<BR/><BR/>And about the 'vegetarian'...I know, I know..:(<BR/>But I am also evolving and I guess nobody's perfect..but I am striving to get at least close to there some day!<BR/><BR/>Ronald, thanks for sharing your thoughts!<BR/><BR/>xoxo,<BR/>catAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36582097.post-88138676432009703342009-03-30T11:11:00.000+11:002009-03-30T11:11:00.000+11:00I wonder when Mango is going to interview real fru...I wonder when Mango is going to interview real fruitarians? Cat is a newbie Fruitarian and 99% of them fail to follow that diet. It is like me doing some Zen and calling myself A Lima Bouddhist :)<BR/>Let's get serious please Mr Mango.<BR/><BR/>By the way Cat in "vegetarian" you have the word veg which mean that you were supposed to eat veggies and not loading yourself with chocolate :). Turning vegetarian , vegan , fruitarian is normally to feel better and respecting yourself & the others.<BR/><BR/>Ronald.
