Superfluo

Absolutely.

After seeing a lot of posts on this health subforum I'm like: "What does NOT contribute to brain fog?"

@YomiZen @StarStruck Yeah, Todd is one of the best, although his teaching style is very technical. It is a nice mix of left and right brain thinking, but he teaches too mechanically. It lacks spontaneity (but that's because the product is not supposed to cover that). So his products are deep and conscious of social dynamics and inner game, but they appear too detailed and abstract because they are focused on outer game. He basically gives the end results, without going into the inner part of game. It seems that Todd thinks that to be free of our own internal limitations and struggles, people should just learn the principles of game (inner and outer) in depth. That's partially true: understanding principles is effective, but you need to heal your psyche from negative emotions and beliefs. A nice course that could fill the holes of Todd products is the Hot Seat at Home (RSD Tyler), which is all about inner game and being free of mental limitations (even if in my opinion there's way way better material to do so). If you'd fuse the two styles, that's where the magic happens.

@ilja If you want to focus about quantity regardless of quality (which is super important), the RDA for vitamin E is 15 mg (22 IU), while the UL is 1000 mg (1500 IU). These levels come from the National Academy of Sciences and other institutions. So you have leeway. Also, check out this: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/list-all/#VitaminE

@Leo Gura We also help each other to fuck each other

Wash yourself of yourself

@meow_meow 1) It depends on your psyche, how much it is sensitive to stimuli. For example introverts I think have a more sensitive psyche to stimuli than extroverts, so they perform better in quiet environments. If you're more sensitive, you'll need social interactions in smaller quantities and less often, so you'll have a bigger threshold for lack of social needs. 2) Everything has an effect on the body. The issue is: to what degree? This depends on various factors like being sedentary or not, being very emotional or not, social circumstances, social obligations, stage of life, etc. 3) No. Being touched, for example, is something we need biologically and psychologically.

@Ingit Because you have been taught to do so, or you have taught yourself that facing your emotions is death. Trauma, especially if deep, is a hell of a beast, it's a fucking tornado, and to heal you have to run towards it head on. Of course it's difficult. But remember that there's calmness in the eye of the storm

@Ingit Yes, your feelings and your emotions are part of you. Healing is paradoxical because you are tempted to think that when you heal you "get rid of your wounds". But that's not the right mindset. When you heal you embrace your wounds, your emotions, your thoughts. If you "want to let them go", you are saying to yourself that you want to get rid of yourself. Positive acceptance would be a better way to frame the process. The only option is to be there. Being with your emotions, feelings, thoughts, sensations, and whatever happens, let it happen. Sitting with yourself and saying "I'm here, no matter how much time you need". You have to learn how to focus positively, with acceptance, on purpose, on command, in order to have a laser beam concentration that gives you results. Actually, it's the other way round: you have to learn how to stop focusing negatively, resisting yourself, lowering your body/emotional tensions, and relaxing and being present. But this is better said than done, and often we have busy lives that leave little time to our actualization journey, so it's normal to struggle.

What do you want? To barely survive or to thrive? To think "Well, I guess I'm going to stay like this for the rest of my life" or to think "The road ahead is not easy but nevertheless I'm going to try, if it goes badly I lose little, and I'm not going to let life knock me down"? It's not impossible to be who you want to be. In your case your path may be harder and more difficult, but it all boils down to: how much do you want it? Also, you have to find the right methods. If you don't know how to change, how are you supposed to do that? By chance? By everyday experiences? No, that's like betting on a losing scenario. You have to research. What type of therapy have you done? Did you do talk therapy? That's really helpful but not enough. From what you wrote your everyday problems stem from body imbalances caused by coffee and drugs, which are needed to sedate your mind. That's what you have to face. The root of the problems. You have to deal with your fragmented mind. So check out my posts as a starting point to know how to heal your psyche. After you heal your psyche you'll find that you won't need medications anymore. And that's a huge payoff.

@Preety_India With "trauma resolved" do you mean, like, healed? In that case yes, obviously.

@Preety_India It can, in certain situation. Why do you think it doesn't? Oh yes you can, in order to cope and not be overwhelmed by the trauma. The brain has a certain threshold for the pain, and if that threshold is surpassed, the brain has a lot of creative ways in his toolkit to survive. Yes, but you can be physically/emotionally aware of it or not

@Preety_India I mean that trauma could be suppresed, in the sense that you have built layers around it in order to not let it come out to your awareness. For example, let's say that I have a trauma regarding physical safety and I startle everytime someone makes a loud noise. It could be the case that in order to cope I created a layer of numbness around the trauma. This makes it so that I could hear a loud noise and not startle. I don't feel the trauma. But let's say that I begin to heal my psyche, and remove the layer of numbness. Then the underlying trauma gradually comes to the surface and I start to feel triggered by loud noises, and I startle everytime. So now I can deal directly with the trauma. You can feel it fully. That's the advantage I was talking about.

@Preety_India Yeah, I remember from a earlier post of yours. But PTSD could be swept under the rug or on the surface, so you have that "advantage" so to speak.

You're not supposed to force to remember. That could be more traumatizing if you don't know how to handle the situation (but I know from your tone of voice you have the strength to handle it). Being aware is a huge step. The other huge step is releasing the trapped emotions/tensions. Trauma is a situation of stress that has not found resolution both in the mind and in the body. Check out my posts if you want to know techniques and ways to practice healing in detail. Also, @intotheblack and @Preety_India , if you are easily triggered, it means you have trapped emotions that are "eager" to come up. So that's a great chance to do some particular exercises like the Completion Process or NLP psyche processing or Parts Work (two-chair gestal exercise) or even emotional vipassana done when triggered or in the morning. You might have C-PTSD as @Logan said, because from the family episodes you talked about I understand that your dad's behaviour was not sporadic (being two-faced), so you dealt with repeated and unpredictable survival stress that forced you to cope for a somewhat long period of time. C-PTSD is PSTD that involves developmental trauma, which is trauma centered around an infancy need not met repeatedly and/or for long time.

@OBEler Okay. It would be wise to tackle the problem also with techniques done sober, like journaling, emotional vipassana, etc. Because a fundamental part of reintegrating the psyche is gaining insight into the trauma, understanding the mechanism of the coping strategy so that one is aware of how the coping mechanism starts and operates and can navigate through the layers to arrive to the root. Maybe LSD works best when you are at least to some degree aware.

Dude, maybe you should help her with this first. If you don't eliminate the root cause, the problem won't disappear.

Whole Foods Plant Based Diet. B vitamins in general are related to carbs and fats metabolism and energy production, so you may want to consider taking a B-complex multivitamin to boost that (but I don't know how much it will be helpful). Remember to be aware of the dosages if you take a multivitamin.

@kray That's okay. You can also loosen yourself with exercises that address your beliefs and your emotions. Check out my posts to learn more about them.

Does she eat a healthy diet? Something like Whole Foods Plant Based Diet? Does she take supplements/multivitamins? Getting the nutrients in check with a blood test and other exams could be useful.

Don't know, but you may want to take a multivitamin, alcohol depletes vitamin stores in the body. Can you stay away from alcohol easily? If so, you might not be alcoholic. Ask yourself why you drank so much. Also, you could check out Gabor Maté on youtube, he talks about the relationship between emotional wounds and various types of addictions.

@mmKay Then they would have already invaded us

@Tim R Obviously but that's still a watered down explanation from his viewpoint. Bashar could explain much better and in much more depth what is consciousness.

In this video Bashar talks about some things, including their technology and their method of travelling in space. At 21:35 begins a Q&A with a woman asking about alien technology, and at 23:07 Bashar talks directly about the physics of intergalactic travelling.

@SS10 Don't think so. Leo fanbase has increased, and I think it did it faster than the speed of consciousness improvement of the majority of pre-existing members (sorry guys). @Leo Gura What about adding the option to see the activity of a user in a specific subforum?
