(10:55)Seventy-five percent of America’s food supply — if you’re eating processed foods — is genetically engineered. (12:10)Farmers in India committed suicide in record numbers due to Monsanto convincing them to convert to genetically modified crops. (18:29)Dave’s father predicted an epidemic of cancer in rural America due to the unprotected use of pesticides a long time ago. (25:49)Could Bayer, Monsanto’s new parent company, be worse?

(15:11)Why love is the first step in the CHEK approach. (17:54)I = engaging yourself in the process of self-awareness. (20:43)Not engaging in your spiritual life leads to isolation and emptiness. Rank, power, wealth and fame doesn’t fill the hole within us. (23:06)A relationship between two adults requires two whole people who take responsibility for their thoughts, words and deeds. (25:01)“Reading diet books and following them like gospel is the act of a child because that’s allowing somebody else to tell you essentially what worked for them.” (32:16)The first of the four stages of life all of us grow through that go hand-in-hand with our spiritual evolution: The child. (34:14)The second stage: The warrior. (35:17)In the warrior stage, we engage in our environment and learn what we need to create our dreams and stand up for what we believe in. (38:37)The third stage: King or queen. (41:08)The fourth stage: The wise man or woman. (43:20)“The soul is unconditional love within us.” (47:20)Paul’s definition of a midlife crisis. (50:14)Reviewing the love model… (52:10)How kung fu evolved. (57:48)Being 50 percent of any relationship means you have to be 100 percent present in them too. (59:19)“One can achieve no higher level of relationship to another than one has achieved in relationship to one’s self.” (1:02:53)Parents may have very rigid belief systems that often challenge your personal evolution. (1:05:18)Defining mythologems. (1:08:24)Projecting things onto people leads to a lot of pain, much more isolation from them and that you’re only hanging around others just like you. (1:10:26)“If we don’t have values, we don’t have a structure to control the flow of energy. Power is the expression of energy.” (1:12:21)Relationships: The ultimate temple of our spiritual evolution. (1:13:58)Father Thomas Keating helped to restore Paul’s faith in Christianity. (1:15:44)What do you love enough to change for? (1:18:41)You must manage your resources, along with your foundational principles — nutrition, hydration, sleep, breathing, thinking and movement — or you can’t bring wholeness to your relationship. (1:23:26)What “there is no I in we” means for relationships.

We’ve only got 24 hours in a day. Period.

In the shopping chart, type in the promo code Living4D to receive the discount.Follow Jo on Instagram @jo_rushton_ or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/joanna.rushton.52.Show NotesJo backpacked all over the world, eventually landing in Australia in 1998 and never left. (4:21)After working too much for an extended time and experiencing health issues, Jo had begun losing her passion for cooking. (7:19)Jo wrote her book, Rocket Fuel on a Budget, after working with clients for many years about helping them make better food choices. (9:17)“That one sentence [you are what you eat] is thrown about these days and is probably overused and misunderstood.” (13:32)A déjà vu moment for Jo while teaching Holistic Lifestyle Coach 1 for the third time. (15:22)Many professional chefs are focused on making food that looks and tastes good and not necessarily healthy food practices or cooking. (20:06)Too many people believe food is like gasoline, so they shop for the cheapest prices. (24:19)Rudolf Steiner’s concept of super-saturation. (25:24)“The list of excuses people come up with are often equal to the lack of value or priority they place on themselves or their health. That’s even when they say they value themselves and their health. The truth is your choices don’t lie.” (30:09)A patient’s “secret story” one tells himself/herself usually points to the origins of his/her disease. (33:05)The organic food movement didn’t start until 1946. (34:50)Have you done a real comparison of what’s cheaper — organic or processed foods — when shopping at the grocery store. What’s really the better price for your health? (38:41)Do you consider the supplements, prescription drugs and office visits with your local doctor when you choose to buy food? (41:22)Energy is the greatest commodity people have, not time. (44:38)The word “natural” on food labels has no real meaning. (49:13)“If you don’t have a background in chemistry, you can be left dumbfounded as to really what you’re consuming.” (50:21)If you’re getting your omega-3 fats from fish oil, be very wary.

Do you feel that you’re at a place in your life where you’re growing mentally?Or, are you so busy holding onto a set of beliefs you’re acting on — consciously or unconsciously — that you’re in a constant state of imbalance?This third of Paul’s five-part Evolve series of Living 4D episodes will give you plenty of resources to help you begin to find that ability to grow mentally for today and the future.Knowing you’ll have lots of questions based on the information Paul will be sharing with you, we hope you will join him for a special Instagram live event Saturday, April 13 at 12 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time/3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.This is your time to discuss any questions you have about learning to evolve mentally. To do that, follow Paul on Instagram @paul.chek, then watch his live event on your mobile phone.Show NotesBased on his notes and research, Paul estimated the first cut of this episode would require about 14 hours to complete! (1:49)Go back to the exercise you completed early in session 1 on Evolve Yourself Physically. (3:09)The differences between relational and non-relational space. (9:10)“Mind is an embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy and information.” (14:01)Did you know the brain has more neurological connections than there are known stars in the universe? (17:03)“Love is the flow of energy and information through empathic and compassionate connection to the self or others if you choose.” (18:57)To evolve your mind, you must have enough love for yourself to be aware of what it takes to change or improve. (20:50)Consciousness can be defined many ways. (22:53)A human being can be viewed as a cybernetic system, a system of systems, like a computer. (28:07)Pain is a great communicator that tells you the choices you’re making aren’t good ones. (34:56)Archetypes help us understand why we do things. (40:22)There’s a difference between consciousness and being conscious of something. (43:03)“Rigid beliefs destroy relationships, and they can destroy bodies, lives and a planet too.” (45:04)Our DNA is not unlike an antenna system that connects into frequencies in the environment. (45:53)At our subconscious level is where the intelligence that keeps us breathing resides. (46:23)A key to evolving your mind: Paying attention to what your unconscious or subconscious processes are telling you. (47:43)“To evolve means to be more creative and to have more freedom which requires conscious choice and a mind that is aware.” (50:38)Codependent relationships. (57:53)“Rubbing sticks” too often leads to fires, burning bridges, going out of harmony and narrowing our possibilities. (1:00:10)Use your mind in ineffective ways and you don’t evolve, which means you’ll get sick and tired and eventually die. (1:03:38)“We have the universe, the collective of humanity, our societies in our culture and our family talking inside us all the time.” (1:07:24)Signs of a Kundalini rising. (1:09:26)Do you have precognitive abilities?

(6:59)“Most of the people listening to this podcast have little or no idea what the rest of the world, particularly the less developed countries, are paying for American consumerism.” (9:54)The loss of arable topsoil is a constant pattern throughout history that’s sped up enormously with the machinery and chemicals multi-national industries use.
