Night 1

I want more order and excellence in my life.

@Spiritual Warfare Watch your tone when you come here to engage with us. I suggest you review the forum guidelines before you continue posting. Telling people to shut up, calling them crying little girls… really man? You come here and treat us like that? Don’t bother.

@Dazgwny He knows more than God! Hehe

I want to live a data driven life when it comes to productivity, finances, health, etc I want to balance this with intuition, critical thinking and life balance. I notice I tend to over exaggerate sometimes which I want to stop doing. I also make assumptions, guesses, and decisions based on feeling. Which, is good, but can be bad. The more data I have, the better I can make decisions. More critical thinking, delayed gratification, and seeing how all my decisions for together to create future results is important. In terms of gear and technology I am set up. I need nothing more. I will purchase one Holden Qigong Workshop a month for continuing to deepen my Qigong knowledge. I have set a monthly budget which I will stick to. I am sober, and not smoking or using Cannabis at all which feels amazing. I am enjoying my Qigong practice, Tea, etc. I enjoy increasingly honest self reflection. I enjoy the self esteem that comes with making decisions in alignment with my highest values and I am willing to feel and honestly acknowledge the pain that comes with decisions outside of my best interests. Each day, week, month and year I improve my ability to navigate life and my complex mind body system in order to reach my goals.

Got my Oura 4 today! It’s starting to get to know me which will take two weeks. It will give me data on tonight’s sleep which is exciting. it says I likely have a high VO2 max which is probably true.

@Hibahere The attitude you take toward aging can actually affect how your cells age. You can imagine and visualize yourself being 60 plus and very healthy. This will increase the likeliness of this. You can start investing now in strong habits that promote longevity like quality sleep, relationships, Qigong/ Yoga/ Breathwork, regular exercise, awesome nutrition, self love, and a healthy mind body... Being 60+ could be the best time of your life. Could be the time when you reap the rewards of all your hard work. We have a lot of bad role models for aging around us. Don't look to them. Instead, focus on aging well and like Deepak Said, let aging be glamorous.

@Spiritual Warfare That ain’t proof. That’s a logic you invented and a bias you have. “God would serve my limited bias!”. What if you chose everything about existence as it is right now, good and bad but you forgot?

Try to keep context relevant and not post spiritual like “wisdom” where it is not relevant.

@Princess Arabia 30 is a time when you are still young, but it’s getting clear you’re not getting any younger. There is signs of aging. Which, understandably brings feelings of fear and loss.

I was actually just walking through the mall with this heavy feeling that I am old and unattractive at 29. A really cute girl I think was trying to get my attention but I missed out saying she looked too young. Which, I don’t know. I looked in the mirror and broke free of this spell. How we relate to aging both affects our aging and of course how we act and limit/ grow ourselves as a result of this relationship to aging.

@r0ckyreed You can improve your vision with eye exercises. Deepak teaches them in one of his books and there is Qigong for eye sight. We aren’t taught how to exercise the eyes and they can get weaker. My opinion is they can be improved and maintained through daily deliberate practice.

My God is Bald 😄. I have thought about working to treat my thinking and receding hairline. But, I’ve decided to embrace my bodies naturally biological rhythm and aging process. It does bother me. It’s up to you what you wanna do. I think those chemicals likely come with side effects. Definitely worth weighing pro and cons.

@Breakingthewall Well, I wouldn’t say it’s a belief. It’s a dreamer. There is no reason for existence. The Big Bang Theory doesn’t explain where anything came from when you really think about it. What was before the Big Bang and where did that come from? How did a big bang create such a highly ordered and balanced universe? Is big bang theory rooted in an outdated and disproven metaphysics known as Naive Realism?

@AION All relative explainations for the present moment are back stories used to ground universal mind in a self consistent dream. Big bang is a theory. The absolute ground of being, eternity, infinity, God/ Shiva water was without cause. This is the Self. The Big Bang is relative aspect of a human dream.

I think ive had some darker 5meo malt. Could be lower quality? Should store in glass for longer periods.

I have bared witness to the ever present absolute Truth.

@Bobby_2021 There are houses in North Korea.... There are Cities... How can North Korea Thrive when it struggles to do business with most other countries?

@Psychonaut I have not seen any reports of this. If you want you can post some research. It is likely there may be some risks. Which is why it shouldn't be used chronically and you should have a solid diet, exercise, sleep and mental health as a key goal if you are going to use the substance.

After a long tree planting ring season I can feel the wear and tear. Overall I’m very healthy. But, I took some really good combination of supplements today and had the best nap of my life. I had some Turmeric Chews, some of these neat “Stress” gummies with GABA, rhodalia and L-Theanine and an electrolyte mixed with beef Cologen. The electrolyte contained magnesium as well. Seemed to really work.
