NEW THOUGHT CENTER OF HAWAII
By
providing a loving, accepting, non-judgmental community,
we at NewThought Center of Hawaii create a sanctuary for the
nourishment, development, and evolution of each person's
unique spiritual path.
The
circle we sit in represents our inclusiveness and our
equality. We have no minister. We take turns facilitating, and
we minister to each other. In addition to sharing our own
spiritual insights, we invite teachers from all wisdom
traditions. We invite and honor such variety and in ourselves
and in the world around us. We understand that no single
source has exclusivity of spiritual truth, health and joy and
that there is much to be learned from many of these sources.
We gather every Sunday at 10 a.m. in Kealakekua at Pualani
Terrace just south of the Kealakekua Library. You are invited
to join the circle.
Morty Breier
pres. and board of NTCH.

HUMOR
NEW GOVERNMENT EMBLEM
The
government announced today that it is changing it's emblem to a
condom because it more clearly reflects the government's political
stance. A condom stands up to inflation, halts production,
destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and
gives you a sense of security while you're actually getting
screwed.
Via Glenys Spitze
AN OLD MAN WAS SITTING ON A
BENCH AT THE MALL.
A young man walked up to the bench and sat
down.
He had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange,
blue, and yellow.
The old man just stared.
Every time the young man looked, the old
man was staring.
The young man finally said sarcastically,
"What's the matter old timer, never done
anything wild in your
life?"
The old
man replied, "Got drunk once and had sex with a parrot. I
was just wondering
if you were my son."

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EATING
RAW FOOD?
Do you want to achieve optimal health? The best
way to do that is to eat a high enzyme diet consisting of raw
fruits and vegetables, sprouted seeds, nuts, grains and some
seaweed.
Eating predominantly cooked food puts a
tremendous strain on your body. To understand why this is true,
you need to understand the role enzymes play. Enzymes are in
he cells of every living plant and animal. It is enzyme
activity that accomplishes all biological work from blinking
an eye, to lifting a finger, to having a thought.
When you eat, you need enzymes to help digest the
food. If the food you eat is raw-whether it is a rutabaga, a carrot,
lettuce leaf or a banana-all the enzymes you need are right there in
the food itself, ready to go to work for you.
If the food is cooked beyond 118 F (48 C),
however, these naturally occurring enzymes are killed by heat, and
your body must manufacture its own digestive enzymes to do the job.
Is this a problem? Raw fooders believe it is. The
father of the food enzyme concept, Dr. Edward Howell, explained that
when your body is busy digesting food, it is unable to divert
the necessary energy to make the type of enzymes needed to do other
tasks. There is a tug-of-war between the demands of your digestive
system for a constant supply of digestive enzymes and the needs of
your body for the metabolic enzymes vital for cleansing, healing,
and building. Without an adequate supply of metabolic enzymes,
over time, you suffer.
This decline in health is usually attributed
solely to 'aging'. But it is really the result of two facts: Over
time, your body loses its ability to manufacture enzymes
(young adults have thirty times the enzymes of the elderly);
and, when you eat food that is cooked, it forces your body to
manufacture enzymes for digestion, instead of enzymes that could be
used for healing. Ultimately, when you don't have enough enzymes to
carry the basic needs of life, you die.
