Anyone know if after having heart issues from the vaccine, it's still less risky than being unvaccinated? I had heart issues from the johnson and johnson and just got the pfizer booster because of mandates. So far no issues but it's been only a few hours. Dr Robert Malone: 1/2,700 people get myocarditis from vaccine (Joe rogan) CDC: 1/50,000 people get myocarditis from vaccine CDC: 1/684 people get myocarditis from covid (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7035e5.htm. ) (this is only with hospitalized people, so likely it is much less common) It's not very clear. Dr. Malone made an interesting case about the numbers of vaccine injuries being scewed,

I ate almonds this morning but from now on I will stand in solidarity with those that have tree nut allergies.

invest your money well & be contributive. Doesn't seem like an issue, Talk about it and be open you're trying to communicate in a relationship not pick up a girl with manipulation and false swagger.

I've had knee problems for as long as I can remember. For the past few months I've been trying to find a sitting position that doesn't hurt my knees. I have been completely unsuccessful, and am worried I might be damaging my knees long term. They continue to hurt even after I meditate. Also I stretch daily, and my hips are not tight (anymore) but my knees still hurt. Is sitting meditation necessarily better than standing or sitting in a chair? I know Leo said something about it in one video but it wasn't very conclusive. Please help. I would like to know how to sit without damaging my knees, or know if it is okay/just as effective to not sit.

I remember this guy from youtube. Maybe this is still good exposure.

That's crazy how serendipitous. Let me know if you come for a visit! I'll be in college here for 3 more years. Currently working on starting a university psychedelic club. SUA is a cool college in a class today we talked about science and religion and compared how they were structurally similar. Both beg the question/circular reasoning, similar structure of their creation stories. Seems like some good quality green maybe yellowish. Edit: @Leo Gura did you go to aliso niguel high school(right by me)? did you know about Soka university of america?

Just moved to Aliso Viejo. It's free and pretty spacious.

-Taking a public speaking class. -Need a 6 to 8 minute speech. Informational I want to do something I am passionate about, but at the same time, I need to be understood properly by a bunch of high-schoolers. They may not take kindly to spiral dynamics, but on the other hand I had loads of people tell me they loved my speech about my meditation retreat. Some topic I would like to do are -Jungian psychology -spiral dynamics (probably would be too controversial) -how to interact with emotions. -cult psychology. would try not to plagarize leo. None of these topic make me go like oh yea that's it. So I'm just hoping one of you will give me that idea lol. Sorry if this isn't an appropriate type post.

Got the johnson vaccine a week or two ago. M-rna scares me. Flu-like side effects for 2 days, fever fatigue headaches etc. Weird thing was that an hour after the vaccine (before any other side effects) I had a pinching tightness in my left chest (same side as shot) that lasted for a few hours. Then it came again more mildly for two days after in the evening. Now I feel totally find other than I never used to get headaches EVER and now I have gotten a few since the side effects ended.

Same here, 5-7 -5-8. Where I am very few men are shorter than me and most are around 6 ft or more. I used to think like you did, and I was never with anyone, but now that that's changed I realize my height is a negligible factor. I hope repetition will help you realize that you are deluded thinking height is the problem.

I'll start outlining the small bets I've taken. First, I started/expanded my backyard garden. It was small but fed me most of my vegetables. Next, last September, I went WWOOFing (volunteering & living on organic farm) for a month. Finally, this summer I am running a market garden (Eternal Harvest Gardens, eternal.harvest on instagram) on borrowed land. I'm doing CSA style weekly delivery boxes. The first time I took the course, I learned a lot about how to have a life purpose, and myself, but I was torn between environmental and healthy food production and psychology (Psychedelics, Jung, Positive Psychology, etc.) I applied to college as a psychology major. I took the course again around 7 months ago, and it became apparent to me that my small bets related to farming were indicative of what I want to do. I've switched my major to environmental studies. I am driven enough and clear enough that normally I wouldn't go to college and would just pursue my life purpose, but I am getting a full scholarship + being paid extra, and I might need to work a job in the winter for a few years to get things started. The Life purpose course is extremely high quality and I would have never gotten where i am today without it. I learned so much from it, but it was the actual work that got me here. The exercises were a great start and set up a psychological foundation, which has led me to take lots of action. At first I was very unclear what I wanted to do. It is not like this simply helped me have a positive mindset. At first I was lost and the two ideas of being a psychologist or farmer came from nowhere but my contemplations and looking at what I enjoyed. The course took me from very confused and yearning for a life purpose to very clear. Now I simply must continue actualizing this. Some great books I would recommend for anyone interested in this career path are The Market Gardener by J.M. Fortier and The New Organic Grower by Eliott Coleman. They will help you get started on the path to mastery. I'm still not sure of the exact details of what I want to do, but that's okay for now. I will continue to work on market gardening and perhaps move into buying 4-10 acres, and also building a permaculture food forest for selling food. I would also like to integrate pasture raised poultry into market garden plots (builds natural fertility, great synergy). Thanks so much Leo for an amazing course!

It's out! And is good!

frank yang for sure!

The past month has been pretty bad. I went to live on a farm for a few days and had to leave because I was mentally an physically exhausted, and sneezing and blowing my nose constantly. I have been mostly inside, but at my home the ragweed isn't as bad. I will be going in a couple days to a farm for a month. I won't have air conditioning, and am worried I will have to wear a mask/ventilator thing 24 7. I have been struggling for my whole life, some months out of the year I am just out of commission and unable to do what I could otherwise. Any advice would be appreciated. I eat very very healthy, organic at the least, lots of permaculture biodynamic food. I've been vegan and omnivore, cut out dairy, I've tried allergy shots for like 4 years, helped but didn't last.

@Michael569 I think perhaps that could have to do with it. I think it is pretty good. I eat pasture raised raw and fermented dairy, I make and eat lots of lactofermented vegetables. My digestion and bowel movements are very good. Around 4 years ago as a newly pubescent boy I took antibiotics daily for I think multilpe months for acne. It wasn't even that bad of acne, I wish I hadn't done that but I didn't know any better. Also used an acne skin cream until a year a go I realized it was an antibiotic and full of other chemicals, then stopped cold turkey, acne got worse for a bit, now it is so much better that's its nearly gone. Apparently that has a lot to do with microbiome. Should I take probiotics to repopulate or has time and lots of natural bacteria from the diet had time to help? Also, I've allergies my whole life. I bet my microbiome wasn't that good as a kid, because of standard american diet. Nice website! @Girzo Yea, antihistamines work wonders. Higher risk of dementia and alzheimers is worth it for me because they make such a difference. If only there was something I could do about the pollen. Wearing a mask does that but its so uncomfortable when its hot out and im gardening. After raining, my allergies go away as the air and buds are clear of pollen.

@tuckerwphotography That article was amazing and the most helpful thing i have found about the vaccine as of yet. Thanks!

@Michael569 Very interesting post, its been a while now and spring allergies are in full swing. Paul stamets medicinal mushrooms didn't seem to help. I might try moducare. @Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj I have a bunch of extra pasture raised meat, might give this a try soon. Would a week be a good test time?

@Thought Art Why? I think the biggest reason would be the degree (environmental studies) would be a safety net for a decent job. Might be good for saving money before I can garden/farm full time. @okulele Good advice, will sit down and think for a while this summer. Long term it's hard to tell, is the degree or the young-person-time more valuable long term. @SLuxy Looks like good stuff

TLDR I like healthy food production I hate college should I drop out or stick it out? To start off, I found the life purpose course amazing. I took it twice and it took a lot of work, but I went gradually from having absolutely no sense of life purpose and being nearly completely clueless as to what I wanted to do to having a very strong sense of live purpose that consumes most of my thoughts. The first time I took it I was a junior in high school, now I am a freshman in college, and just finished the 3 months of contemplating my life purpose every morning (an assignment I started around the time I finished the course). My life purpose statement is "I cook and farm ecological food, making people and the earth healthy" I care about beyond-organic, permacultural, biodynamic, regenerative, sustainable and healthy food production. I love gardening and cooking as mediums. My vision for the future long term involves a farm with a restaurant, where I make an impact by changing peoples minds about food production. I love ecovillages and am interested in having a community surrounding this. I'm open to how this will actually play out, any of the above might take place. I've gone through a series of small bets, and am now on a pretty big one. Gardening in my backyard last summer wasn't an intentional small bet, but still was a great one. Last fall, I went and worked on an organic farm for a month. This summer, I am starting a market garden. I will invest around $1000 or less into it, so am keeping it low budget and a learning experience. I've found a great place with people letting me use their land. I have a full ride scholarship, I in fact get paid extra, it is absurd but I'm very fortunate. If it wasn't for this I would have dropped out a while ago, I think I definitely have enough discipline and determination to do much better without school. In my case, the money and degree security seem worth it. I think I will stay in college just to be safe, but I have been having doubts. My classes are sometimes good, im taking a sustainable agriculture course next semester, but overall, college is soul draining, unenjoyable, and now is starting to really get in the way. To really pursue market gardening I need springs and falls for harvest. This spring college is online and im working 20+ hours per week getting starting. This fall i will go to college and my harvest will be fucked. Might have to catch a flight back. I feel as if I could be doing so much but am wasting my time with school. If I was working a job I could find a stable place to live and start market gardening spring through fall and get to a point where that's my living in 3-4 years. I was very excited to hear Leo's advice, but his video on the topic ended up suggesting basically that if you have enough drive it's not worth it, it's hard to factor in the value when I am actually making money from college. Thanks! Lots more to say lmk what might be helpful info.

@Forestluv Very well said Also, I have very bad seasonal allergies, which makes me worry about anything to do with meddling with my immune system. From my research I don't see any way the covid vaccine could cause harm to my tree and ragweed pollen allergies. Leo is getting it while having hashimotos, he also seems not worried about this.

Hard to sort through anti-vax concerns, most of it is nonsense, but obviously there is some (probably low and less than covid itself) risk. So, are you not concerned that these pharmaceutical companies are not liable for any negative effects while they have a past of knowingly not stopping drugs that do have negative effects for money? https://edition.cnn.com/2009/BUSINESS/09/02/Pfizer.fine/index.html

@SLuxy That's very helpful I look forward to watching that video. You're definitely right about limiting beliefs I should watch that course soon. This is overall a very positive situation with lots of potential I just need to see it that way more and not focus on and exaggerate the limitations. Thanks!

so, y'all buying? anyone buy early? you holding? I love bernie

Great essay Leo, so well written and insightful thoughts.
