Sorry for my bad use of the quote button. It was meant for Simon Zackrisson.

Okay, so to your subconscious mind, that's what you feel? :b Can't wait for the good weather to come! Looking forward to provoke and help the opressed female body! :3

So you believe a person who doesn't shave/groom is unhealthy and will get weak kids?

Thank you for your answer. I do feel very mindfull about it. It's some good questions you suggest to me. At the moment Im reading The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. I identify myself very much at page 123, as the one becoming happy in the "bad" circumstances. I can recommend the book if you haven't read it

After my opinion should a guy first appear intelligent, it is very attractive to be smart. Maybe there is some leader characteristic in that. And if he is very playful it's even better. OH and women often like a good hearted man. So be intelligent on a caring topic.

I really loved this book. It contains a lot of moral questions and historical events in New York (1886-1919) and Russia in some years after. It talks about her life, authorization and revolutionary people. We hear about her views on the Russian revolution 1917, where she tries to have an impact on Lenin and others. If you don't know a lot about anarchism I would really recommend you to read this book. It's full of history and idealistic spirit. I read the danish version myself "Emma Goldmans Anarkistiske Erindringer" by Michael Helm, but I would think the english book is just as cool

Okay, I have learned that we can make the HDL ourselves and LDL is coming from outside. But there is a lot which is hard to be sure on, so I guess it's just about picking a belief :-P

Im sure you can loose weight on the low carb, high fat. But I don't believe it's healthy.

It have been a while since I had biology in school, but from what I remember and read in my notes, we use three different things in our body to respire. The first is stored glycogen(carbs), then its stored fat and lastly it's protein, but protein sits as muscle tissue and we don't want to lose our muscles I guess. So what you get from a beef is about 20 % protein and about 9 % fat, the rest is water. We need about 30 % protein a day, if we get more it will get out through our liver and kidney to our urine. If you drink milk and eat meat and egg a lot you will have a lot of protein through your liver and kidney which you should be careful with. Protein is your body's "last" ressource(for not talking about using organs), it want to keep it(the muscles) but is flexible when it comes to survival. Also is there different forms of protein where meat contain some who is more acidic. Our body neutralize the acid in our blood by using minerals from places as the bones. This is the cause of kidney stones. Osteoporosis is also believed coming from using minerals from the bones to neutralize your blood. Fat is not something to avoid, it's an important macronutrient. But some fats are better than others and does not cause LDL-cholesterol which is dangerous (HDL-cholosterol is the good version we all have). So be careful with saturated fat, which may cause atherosclerosis leading to blood clots. And what I've learned about insulin: Fatty acid diets increase the insulin level. Insulin is used to help glycogen and fatty acids around through blood to different depots. Your body want to prevent your depots to expand so you don't become fat, so it may make you insulin-resistant preventing the fat to reach the target depot. And if you become so it will give you a too high insulin level and you will get hyperinsulinemia. Soo this is what I have learned from my school book and from Dr. McDougall. Im not an expert though.

Hi Simon Zackrisson My favorite vegan doctor, Dr. McDougall, is of the opposite opinion of you, of course :-P He eats a vegan diet because he believe it saves human lives (if the person at risk do it himself of course). I will just recommend you all to see Forks over Knives and you could search Dr. McDougall up on google, he has done a lot of studies. Also where the eastern citizen is compared to the western people. In the east there is farely any lifestyle diseases. They eat more carbs and not much fat.

It's nice to have good chances, but it will probably still be really scary and hard. But really cool when it no longer is a problem and if I actually could hit on a person I find attractive. :-P But that's probably how we all feel. I do have a little problem, I really don't like to kiss x'D haha, I will see how it all turns out.

I would like to be a professor, maybe in astronomy, physics or math. But maybe in some sort of wise topic on life. I would like to teach, maybe kids maybe grown ups. Aaand I would like to be an animation instructor and share my visual inside world blended with wisdom. It would be adult movies full of atmosphere and probably history. Oh and I would like to live close to nature with a naturist lover/partner and pursue enlightenment.

I was wondering are you a woman or man? Or is it not relevant for your advice?

Actually is veganism not a diet but a lifestyle philosophy :-P But to answer, if you take it easy on the milk, egg and butter then it might be more naturally for your body to be vegetarian. I do believe (from what I have studied) that becoming vegan is even healthier because you avoid so much bad fat and cholesterol. But you should consider that when you decide to go vegan, you pretty much have to take some vitamin supplement. If you don't get much sun, then you will lack D-vitamin, it's only found in animal products. And you have to take B12-vitamin, also found in animal products. There is people studying how to grow these vitamins in some special plants/mushrooms. But by now I believe it's safest to take a supplement besides your diet. And of course it's easier to start out as a vegetarian and then buy lesser and lesser animal products. AND if you really want to help yourself and the planet, buy organics; free from chemicals But I would recommend you to just buy a vegan cookbook

I bacame vegan three years ago after being vegetarian since 13 years old. I did it because I love animals and I find it cruel to exploit and murder anyone. I started to hang out with likeminded people and they are usually reeealy rational ateists debatting and fighting for animals everywhere. And my impression is that it's not a very spiritual thing to engage in. I became vegan because I felt like a good and right person. And it doesn't feel very spiritual. I love the video of Leo on human beliefs and the video on how we lie, I think they are very relevant to this topic. I agree with you Brandini, that it probably are hindering oneself to take a moral belief. But sure I would love to hear Leo's opinion.

If it not only is from a health standpoint isn't it then more of a political/religious topic of moralty?

Personal challenges I've overcome: Social anxiety is reduced to shyness :b What I'm working on now: Being even wiser. Gaining weight. Stop being a victim and getting shit done. Considering my dogmas on being a vegan. Detaching myself and exploring new people. Getting into meditation and yoga.

You are so very kind, thank you! Love and peace to you too

I think you should do it! Im in same boat as you just as the other sex. Im just really nervous on how to approach it, but definitely should it help you

Firstly Im going to approach this as post and trans means the same, as Im not sure of the difference. I was thinking about this, if the three states is also something passing through all people, so as they have to have been prerational and rational before they can think of themselves as transrational? And if so, is it so simple: to remember back in time if you once was very scientific and shot about religion and spirituality and therefore conclude you HAVE been rational, and now have to be transrational because you have gotten interested in the concepts of spirituality. So you too acknowledge religion and so on. My thoughts now come from the short clip on youtube of Wilber talking about prerational people fulfilling themselves with buddhist concepts, believing they have reached some high level. But that may mean that I e.g. also just is a prerational person fulfilling myself with the concept of being post/transrational? I may feel like I already have been very rational years back, but what about my ego/self image, which still is in progress from my insecurities, doesn't that have anything to say, or is that more of a whole other issue than rationalism? So do I have to have established my ego before Im trans/postrational, or is it enough to know about it and think about being it? I hope it wasn't to complicated and also I hope it's readable, english is not my everyday language :b

I see. Thanks for the clarification!

It was just my thoughts on polyamory and the ego, and probably for you all So I don't know who to quote

I would think that every person, one or more, that you want to be with is because of your ego? I think that if you feel it makes you strong to love more than one, and you are mastering your jealousy or don't feel it at all, then it must be very empowering to live polyamorous. In my opinion to decide to be polyamorous is maybe even less egoistic than only wanting one lover, because you accept that the other persons can be with others without it being a problem, you are kind of letting go on that aspect. But no matter what it's the thing about having to build your ego before you can get rid of it, so I think you might as well go for what empowers you most.
