remember

yes but the mescaline concentration depends on some factors like sunlight exposure. actually pretty similar to people. by the way: be careful plugging it.

@DrewNows mhhh - he is controversial because well, cancer is a very difficult topic. i met some cancer therapists (also did other medicine) who do a special treatment with inducing fever to the body and also put patients on a special diet, but they are highly specialized and also are not always successfull. so if people are not able to find such doctors it`s in a lot of cases much more safe to do chemo therapy if they don`t succeed with other methods or time is running. there are different kind of tumors and it`s more complex than that. i fear a little, that some people might get the idea they could fight cancer alone with a small diet change. i know people who survived cancer with and without chemo but if without they were lucky because the tumor reacted to francincense tabletts (only special kind of brain tumor). although what all of them did additionally was supporting their body with fresh foods. and well for my autoimmune disease it`s somehow accurate what he says about the milk and meat - don`t know if it`s the acidity or the proteins. so i would take it more as a preventive nutrition advice than as a wonder treatment, although he is right despite doing chemo and radiation or not, but the kind of food people can eat is more important than only eating raw. brokkoli and brokkoli sprouts are the number one anticarcinogenic foods against any kind of cancer preventive or additional to any therapy. brokkoli is love.

giving some credit to the topics slogan - since i`m almost vegan (butter and eggs from time to time - chicken produce eggs if there is a tap or not, if they live organic and relatively free or not, and butter because it`s a loooooot more healthy than mineral oil based margarine, and because it`s the most difficult to avoid). the interesting thing is these are also the only animal based products my body lets me eat because of health issues. but to go back to the topics title, i`m not sure if i get less colds since i`m vegan, i got two this year they where nasty but that`s it - maybe a little due to more fresh food and more whole food but i also don`t feel so tired in winter anymore. when i still used to eat dairy products and meat or fish from time to time, i was always feeling heavy and tired around christmas - that has gotten muuuch better. so food can make an enormous difference in how energetic we feel. although to not get a cold it`s probably also important what exactly to eat.

@King Merk well the backbones are really interesting. although this song does not describe at all how all of this is held together!

maybe you can make them more aware. my older sis was a vegetarian from age 4 or 5 and my whole family started to live mainly a vegetarian diet. maybe if you start to cook at home from time to time and include them as a team or so they will also learn more about food and maybe start to adapt a little. sea fish can be full of heavy metals. you don`t really know. actually everything can be full of antibiotics and pesticides and so on so the source is really important, too. especially with all animal based foods it gets pretty dirty, most sweets are animal based foods. they mostly contain gelatin what is the substance directly underneath the skin or out of their bones, if you don`t want to eat sweets anymore just watch some movies about how that is made it`s utterly disgusting. sweet gummybears sweet lips don`t know if that helps in the conversation. (and organic is not everywhere a lie - so well find out how trustable they are and if not contact their brands and the shops they sell it in and talk about it online. they will get better in the process)

what about it is vegan? if you don`t beat yourself up for eating milk, honey, eggs and fish only rarely once in a while the semi vegan would make sense - i find it quite funny it´s difficult to make the differences. some vegans are really straight and extreme about it what i can understand, although i guess some vegans eat butter or honney or eggs once in a while when it`s difficult, but fish is not even vegetarian. although i guess i understand what you are pointing at. mostly vegan with sspecial situation excuses? had this discussion with a lot of vegans - so there is a consensus problem about what makes sense - but i also know a vegetarian who eats liver once in a while to get her b levels met. liver is mostly a waste product - so if it is for political reasons i think some products are less incorrect than others, for health reasons. although there are people who just can`t eat it because they are disgusted by the taste.

this empathy has formed over a long period of time, a lot of observations and some friends i made, yes of course i`m self biased. but so are you and what i can say is that this thinking you have there is low developed red thinking, whyever, because you think that it is weak to not put preassure on others through terror? i have a selfbias towards the kurds because they tried to stay human during a war that was disgustingly inhumane - and that my friend is tickly turquoise.

from a spiral dynamic view i think you have it all upside down, i don’t think the kurds think linearly, they managed to stay true to their allies the country the world community and their own dreams. what partially should be the dreams of the world community. it’s not the fault of the kurds that the world community doesn’t learn. that the kurds don’t remain loyal is a lie - they never attacked their countries forces during the war even though they allied with the usa they even helped the us to find the is leader after the us left them alone. who is really slow in learning is not the kurds but the others. on a spiral dynamic level i would put them at least in green yellow, while the rest acts out low red and extreme blue and greedy orange.

@Lento well there are different kurdish regions, the one in irak has some authonomy. i also think there will be a solution for the kurds in syria with damascus as the capital, they are part of the heroes of this war. i would not predict that they will be without a country despite being kurds, these people are still syrian kurds. i don`t want to see it all in such a bad light, i know it`s a harsh situation right now but even though some things are still not negotiated, or even talked about. the sdf protected region is one of the most stable ones at the moment (despite the part of that region turkey is attacking) stability is what syria bitterly needs and as long as the is IS around even as a phantom (what they def are not) it`s good to keep the structures that give stability. and once again it`s not only kurdish people living there and fighting there, so yeah the landscape changes, the sdf fights for syria right now legally. and every person who had to flee in this country has to find a new home it`s just crazy to create more people who have to flee to give others who fled before the home of those who fought for the remaining people (and by the way also for europe and usa against the is) who have to flee now (sometimes even) again (second or third time). the further i go into it the more senseless all of this gets, but i hope there are still people with power in the world who still have some light burning instead of having a complete fallout in the consciousness department.

because i realized that if a person moves higher than green some perspectives will always remain there because green points out what no one will look at, the dirt under the rug the neglected spaces and humanitarian deserts. in yellow it`s probably better to see them like leucocytes in an immune system. sorry my post was partially a self talk about what was going on with the colours within me and how these colours fight for their survival in me more than about how they could be handled in reality. so it`s a little wild maybe writing that down reflecting on what you said helped me with getting over my saddest feelings because i realized that i`m not the only one seeing this phenomenon or function green plays in our immune system.

It`s really interesting what erdogan is after. i wonder and wonder, mainly it is power i suspect and maybe making the country a little bigger? influence is probably one of the main goals. i would not say for everyone it`s mainly the oil. he wants to play with the others in the sandbox, that`s for me more likely. there could have been other methods. and sometimes i just count the handshakes and wonder. erdogan is probably really mostly afraid about how his country might shrink if there would be a kurdistan. funny that i found this older article where slavoj zizek commented about the kurdish hope to maybe being able to have their own country - if you read that you might also understand the fear erdogan has. who really wants to give up on parts of their country? but leading a preventive war against a weaker ethnicity in another country, what exactly should be the justification about it? i mean yeah self justified but not righteous, on the contrary. erdogan pointing towards pkk is denying that there are probably more civilians than armed kurdish people and well the armed people are not pkk they are resistance against the is. it`s skapegoating we can watch everywhere in politics in media used as a justification. http://kurdishquestion.com/oldarticle.php?aid=slavoj-zizek-kurds-are-the-most-progressive-democratic-nation-in-the-middle-east i guess the kurds already accepted that they won`t have an own county to that extend the moment they accepted the handshake with damascus, but of course who wants to leave their homeland, they lived on for centuries? they just want to keep the structures which work well also with the other minorities in that region and want to be more autonomous within syria. like bavaria for example is in germany. usually these regions develope economical streangth which also is good for the whole country if i compare that to europe, so well might be damascus can see that, or not. wonder how it will develope.

they are and they are not, you are and you are not. it means you smear in space.

that`s because you didn`t fully go into it - so maybe you just sit down and write and maybe the memory will come up by itself. just write down whatever comes in your mind and if it is "i don`t know" for half of a site or even five then let it be that.

@MartinMaggio i bet you lie 50% of what you say, half of it you lie to yourself - you where probably overweight already when you where vegan and i would want to know what exactly you where eating. especially the alkaline thing is such a joke i have my own experience with - the bladder is the most alcaloid part of the body and urine is maybe the only product of the body which is almost bacteria free there is a medication against bladder infection that makes urine more acidic and in most cases it actually makes it worse, not holdable your theory. have fun with your cholesterol problems when you age just have enough good surgeons at hand. you are part of the misinformed public, get aware of that. we all know that there are some sideffects with veganism if we don`t supplement vit b12 for example - and no one said a vegan diet is easy. but that`s what the brain was made for to figure out, in the long term. the shortterm meat based diet may bring better results but may not be your longterm friends.

@Girzo you could try it with a probiotic that contains e-coli of a certain kind it`s the only one i know in that direction that is used in chronic diarrhea. it`s called mutaflor. additionally you could try it with neem but that you can`t take for too long. also cinnamon seems to be a good helper.tumeric. coconut fat should work as a fat.

it still feels discriminating. and if i had to second sigmund freud for the term penis envy i would bet that the history of all grand religions is based on one single lie, it`s obviously another envy. you could say the whole of civilisation is based on birth envy or in another term creators envy. it`s still mother earth and humans can`t survive in outer space. a true pantheist reconnects to her/his female part (unfortunately there are much less examples of such) denial is just another monotheism - then go search for intelligence in outer space. pantheism is no monotheism but it is. it`s very difficult for males to be true pantheists and there are even more genders than we thought.

@Austin Actualizing really nice! thanks a lot, well sometimes the comparison needs to go deeper than only comparing the obvious, although the george w. pic was legendary.

@mandyjw yes you are right unfortunately they are oftentimes gay.

@mandyjw there is a thin line between stupidity and intelligence, if people still don`t learn to discern between a vacuum cleaner and a human they will hopfully eradicate themselves from this earth by mating with a vacuum cleaner. actually there is a reason why sex toys exist - didn`t look into it for a while but i see more vibrators than vacuum cleaners on their websites. the real problem though is the self bias indeed. that`s why so much bullshit and sexual violence still happens. by the way maybe a vacuum cleaner with some learning effect would be nice, thinking about small electro shocks or so. men who use that will probably have a lot of sex. attractive men have a lot of sex.

mhh what`s swimming in the middle?

it`s not that conclusion always means end, it`s only that a conclusion is not a fixed solution, if you would rather handle it as a hypothesis. men tend to want to solve problems for women, what would spare the woman going through the process herself, it is an infantilization process - while funny as it sounds behaving like children takes away the infantilisation, it is not just the speach it is the openness and playfullness of the conversation, which makes room for creativity. much more room for exploration there than to conclude (pre) maturely. @FuriousGeorge also the emotional part if you don`t understand it yet then try to listen and ask questions until you understand, after a while it might be that you learn her language better.

well it all depends on the mood doesn`t it - so playfull, childlike is nice and deep talk is also nice - although deep talk means not science in the classical sense as if you would have chosen another topic like maths or dinosaurs she would have had to be in a very special mood to reach that point to maybe even identify with you. so you can`t really say it was the scientific part of it.

god excludes women pineapple would probably work better

i didn`t read about how he introduced the word pantheism to the world, making it more tangible - but naming something that already exists makes it easier to grasp. recently i rediscovered spinoza in a different way, as i came to the conclusion that "i think therefore i am" does not really fit anymore for me because to really think i need to think with all senses so i wrote down: "i feel therefore i am" and googled it and there was this cool article (from 2003 quite old already) in the new york times that talks about spinoza already being the first one who introduced the bodymind, mindbody but was a little bit forgotten because of descartes mind theory. it`s cool to discover these things. doesn`t matter if he put that into western language first, it`s discoverable in hindu religion and yoga and in the vedas, by experience every god you want to experience you can learn a lot. real pantheism means that you feel into it. and discover for yourself if it suits you. i feel therefore i am. https://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/19/books/i-feel-therefore-i-am.html as a side note: be aware that every theory is exploitable and can be used for the wrong reasons, what makes a weapon out of a pen, is not the pen itself it is the motiv/ation.
