and pseudo-science. Let Craig's Director of
Nutrition cut through the dietary confusion and
contradiction for you.
Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

I spent the other night hanging out with Eckhart Tolle. Yep, just me and the big Eckinator. The meister of Eck. Yessirree.. me, him.... and one or two (thousand) others. Okay, so we weren't technically alone but let's not get all pedantic about it. Geeze Louise. Anyway, I know there was some kind of cosmic connection between us. Not so sure that he felt it but...
Who?
For those of you who haven't heard of the big E, he is considered (by some) to be one of the world's foremost authorities on all things spiritual and philosophical - although I know he would never describe himself as such. While he has been around for years, the last year has seen him catapulted to global attention thanks to the endorsement of the most famous woman on the planet and one of his biggest fans; Oprah Winfrey. And it's fair to say that the Miss O. tick of approval ain't gonna hurt your cause or damage your brand any!
A Different Kind of Smart
It's also fair to say that E.T. is smart. A genius perhaps. And not smart in a regular Mensa kind of way, just breath-takingly insightful, aware, gifted and different - in my humble opinion of course. In fact, he's too different for some. Although he has an academic background (of sorts), his teaching and philosophy is about as academic as cheesecake. That is, not at all. I like that. A little academia; good. Too much; annoying. Much of his teaching turns conventional thinking on it's head. In fact, he's not really a big fan of thinking; he believes that it (often) gets in the way of awareness, consciousness and inner peace.
I won't endeavour to condense two hours of teaching into one post, but I will share a couple of things that resonated with me.
1. Not everything needs to 'make sense' or fit into a box. We love putting stuff in boxes don't we? We love to label and categorise things. We live in a world that, on many levels, is pre-occupied with the three-dimensional. If we can't see it, touch it, hold, it, measure it, photograph it, test it, examine it or chop it up, then it can't be real. Spiritual and philosophical stuff freaks (some) people out because it does not fit comfortably (and we love being comfortable) into their scientific framework, their humanistic thinking or their current level of understanding. And rather than say that (1) they don't know (2) they don't really understand or (3) they are not open to considering another way of looking at things, they will often resort to calling the messenger a 'crackpot' and the message 'mumbo-jumbo'. For many people, things that don't 'make sense' - within the realm of their logic, understanding, education, beliefs and experience - are to be avoided and/or criticised - no matter how much they don't really know about those things. Science, logic and analytical thinking serve a purpose - to a point - and then they get in the way. Sometimes we need to un-learn before we can learn and sometimes logic and reason are simply synonyms for fear and ignorance. Some very logical and reasonable people are also very miserable and restricted because they never allow themselves to venture beyond the very limited space that is, their mind. Some of the most amazing truths, lessons and gifts lie beyond logic, beyond science and beyond the boundaries of our fearful and indoctrinated thinking. And that's coming from a scientist!
2. We are not our thoughts. Most of us associate so strongly with our thoughts that we become them. Tolle teaches that thinking 'happens' despite us. Our thoughts are not us, just as our body is not us. Discovering that we are not our thoughts and that our thoughts don't necessarily need to shape, create or even influence our reality can be completely liberating. Having an awareness of our thoughts (good or bad) - without being lost in them or trapped by them - is indicative of a shift consciousness; some might say, the beginning of enlightenment. Then the question becomes "who am I beyond my thoughts, beyond my body, beyond my reputation, beyond my credentials, beyond my achievements and beyond my ego"? Explore that question openly, honestly and humbly and you'll probably experience more than a little discomfort. What if you're not who you thought you were? Or who others told you, you are? Open that door, and a whole new world awaits.
Enjoy your day.
