So there is no such thing as causation, merely that universal consciousness decided to make it look that way? Each moment, Willed into being from scratch, not building on previous occurrence but always deciding anew to Be? 'Exist' as defined by the way we use it to describe the existence of other people in other countries we aren't in right now. I was debating this with my dad who has had mystical experiences himself and he cant wrap his mind around the fact that there is only now. He keeps saying but what about the scars I have on my arm? And he loves to disagree with the idea of nothingness too lol. @Nahm If you made a reality out of magic, the only thing you would not be able to isolate, is magic. (thanks, love this)

I cant have that insight in my experience aside from manipulating some symbols to get there conceptually. Def not looking for woo-woo just interested in what is true, not an inference. is it right to say that the past doesnt exist becuase you cant ever point to it? What is it, that we refer to as the past?

Peter is a tease but I cant get enough. I love how Leo spells things out. I want more Peter in the form of Leo. Can people suggest actualized video's that are more or less Ralston inspired?

lol

not quite sure how to decode this

modafinil + weed.

the vinegar is awesome and should be enough to mitigate whatever the water is doing. I suggest not having alkaline water along with any protein source as it would definitely inhibit digestion, especially the cleaving of b vitamins into their usable forms. So basically I would have the vinegar water with the meals to optimize digestion and then the alkaline water away from them like during exercise which i can imagine it would have some positive effect on. Fun fact the reason why you can become nauseated after an intense cardio or HIIT session is becasue emptying the contents of your stomach is the fastest way to deacidify the body. So if you drink alkalized water during exercise maybe it assists the body in dealing with lactid acid.

I would be able to promote and gather an audience in Shanghai.

careful with the alkalized water. the stomach is supposed to be very acidic otherwise you compromise your ability to digest wrecking the foundation of your health. Hopefully your body is able to overcome the insult of alkalized water but trust me, it's not helping you.

half a gram of shrooms does wonders for ocd/neuroticism I've found. So much so that I would include them in a new class of drugs I will dub anti-neurotics. Tthey make you hyper-conscious of the fact that NOTHING MATTERS. This is a big reason why psychedelics are responsible for the birth of extreme sports. Shrooms in my experience reduce the ego enough to illicit a state of fearlessness while not compromising motor skills, i'd say they even enhance them. It's a beautiful thing! chekc out this MAPS bulletin that goes into this in greater detail. https://maps.org/news-letters/v21n1/v21n1-25to29.pdf

not a professional but I do know that bone is subject to remodeling quite easily, there are even specialized cells called osteoclasts/ osteoblasts that either eat away at bone or lay down new bone tissue. so when bones are set in a certain position for extended periods (ie meditation) the bones can adapt to this by remodeling themselves in accordance to that position. i would say the only way to reverse the issue would be to not perpetuate it and not sit like that anymore so the bones can readapt to normal activities.

The Book of Not Knowing by Peter Ralston Nothing has come close for me in terms of permanently altering my minute to minute experience of life

are the x legs the same thing as being knock kneed or knee valgus? because I think I have the same thing as well as some hip abnormalities called FAI. I have found nothing about this online and am quite curious about others who have the same issue. I have had knee pain my whole life, you too?

Having a digital commonplace book is like a real-life Dumbledore's pensieve. I dont know if this has been mentioned elsewhere but it's a nice image to motivate one to use one.

experienced that sensation each and every time i ever meditated from the time i was 3 years old. been wondering about it the whole time. who knows exactly

also look into embodied cognition. the type of thing going on when people get botox and cant move certain muscles in their face affecting their emotional states. A feedback loop that I imagine would have some application with laterality

absolutely

I didnt think you were. I just think there should be a PSA about this veganism stuff is all. I respect the impulse tremendously that makes a person become vegan or at least reduce their meat consumption but people really need to be aware of the pitfalls of doing so.

the air quality in a pristine environment is something people dont appreciate enough, you can literally see it.

they were extremely health conscious, to their detriment and were taken in by all manner of plant based hucksters preaching the health beneefits of the diet, I was allowed refined sugar once a yeaar on halloween for example. My advocacy against veganism here is not some unconscious backlash against whatever my parents happened to do. It is def possible for some individuals to tolerate vegan diets given they have a robust microbiome and optimal genetics able to neutralize the various chemical assaults from plant foods and extract maximal nutrients from it. BUT it would be an experiment that is likely to fail with liffe altering consequences for those that are not so inclined Know the facts and BE CAREFUL, closely monitor the state of your health and if you choose to go down this road is all im saying.

No actually im trying to claw back some quality of life after I was robbed of a normal healthy existence by my stupid hippie parents who fed me a plant based diet in my early years. I just hope the truth gets out before there are more casualties like me. It's laughable how much my health improved after i stopped all that BS.

it's ok to blend in also

read about this ages ago. never knew there was any merit to it thanks for the post, really deepens the effect lazars story has had on me

yeah totally, for those who dont know fasting is the most powerful anticancer intervention there is. A well know study showed that patients who were in a fasted state during their chemo showed drastically reduced negative long term impact from the chemo radiation. something about being fasted was protective against the chemo, has implications for other environmental stressors on health obv. too

your example covers muscle meat alone which isnt representative, it's not even the majority of what you would consume when dealing with the whole animal. I also question the validity of those daily value percentages. Carbs and fiber are not essential to the human organism at all. Glucose requirements are readily met via gluconeogenic pathways. if you are worried about fiber animal foods contain fermentable fiber in the form of collagen. in many instances humans were able to consistently find starchy tubers as well as some fruit in certain latitudes that supplied a decent amount of potassium but these were supplemental sources of calories and not the crux of the diet. the point is a "well-balanced" vegan diet (whatever that means) isn't at all attainable in an evolutionary context, full stop.
