seriously, this is your reasoning?

@Visionary could you give a brief breal down of each methods sets? We know the William Hoff is sets of 30, so how many sets or in 15 minutes and what is the time of the interval between them? Holotropic breathwork same question Also please describe the first physiological sensations you most often get in the first stages of either technique such as tingling in the arms, types of auditory or visual sensations

How do you know you don't have free will?

You assume that the universe was created rather than always existed

There are different types of affirmations. Leo says his affirmation in this 2014 video was "I am a millionaire" . So that is an acquiring a material object type of affirmation. You have this other type as an example “I’m happy being who I am.” which is a self esteem type of affirmation. So there are different types of affirmations and some of them may be easier to make progress on but other not. But this is also a dedicated method using a daily 5 minute repetition of the affirmation over and over again daily for at least a month founded on the theory that the subconscious mind is responsive to repetition (which is true in certain cases in my opinion). This repetition is supposed to be essential to instilling it on the subconscious level. Your point was also leave out negativity from the affirmation even and affirmation might have a positive conclusion. Like you said, it's better to say " “I’m happy being who I am.” rather than "I will stop rejecting who I am". It means the same thing to an extent but like you said it's more positive to say what you are trying to be rather than what you are not trying to be. However if someone was addicted to cigarettes then what? Anyway some different types of affirmation goals so far: 1. Affirmation to feel differently about oneself 2. Affirmation to acquire something material or a particular financial status 3. Affirmation to stop doing a bad habit 4. Affirmation to start doing a self beneficial practice regularly 5. Affirmation to help others 6. Affirmation to relate to other people in a new way 7. Affirmation to inspire a spiritual breakthrough 8. Affirmation to endure a painful experience 9. Affirmation detach from desires 10. Affirmation to focus on solving a particular problem 11. Affirmation to prioritize 12. Affirmation to deal with grief over a loss 13. Affirmation to enjoy living 14. Affirmation to be at peace 15. Affirmation to understand a sitaution 16. Affirmation to remain calm under pressure or chaotic conditions These are just some types of affirmations and the repetitious affirmation method may have different levels of effectiveness on each. For instance a affirmation to change how one feels about oneself is different from and affirmation to carry out some type of procedure Also there will be some types of affirmations that could be poorly conceived

Ivankiss who started the topic says God is not you but Leo and may others say God is you so there is not conclusion Maybe Ivanskiss can elaborate on where we're at

look at the thread topic

the umbilical cord?

@Serotoninluv I have changed the title to plural

I am updating the opening post to include 3-5-3 Haikus which some think are closer to Japanese form feel free to use 5-7-5 or 3--5-3

It’s possible the report will find some bureaucratic missteps in the handling of a warrant application, but it’s not likely to undo any of the thorough work by special counsel Robert Mueller and his team. Barr’s less impartial investigation—he has himself accused the FBI of “spying” on the Trump campaign—may be the one to really keep an eye out for, if only because it will almost certainly mean more emphatic Trump tweets."

No it's a very informative video about how sewage is processed in New York. that vast majority of it is cleaned and processed into fertilizer. Had you had watched the video you would know this

https://www.health.com/nutrition/low-carb-pasta this is the low carb patsa made from red lentils or chick peas. I recommend mixing it wit a moderate amount of regular white pasta. A muffin, rice and bread are already carbs For breakfast if you want to keep it simple just eat a large amount of fruit and a small amount of raw unsalted nuts. For instance, half a papaya, or a whole mango, or two bananas or a half a cantelope

How do you do it?

What type of affirmation have you been doing?

Why did Leo change his shirt? To get to the other Side

To complicate matters A forthcoming UN regulation will slash shipping industry pollution but may also speed up climate change. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610007/were-about-to-kill-a-massive-accidental-experiment-in-halting-global-warming/ MIT Technology Review We’re about to kill a massive, accidental experiment in reducing global warming A forthcoming UN regulation will slash shipping industry pollution but may also speed up climate change. by James Temple Jan 22, 2018 Studies have found that ships have a net cooling effect on the planet, despite belching out nearly a billion tons of carbon dioxide each year. That’s almost entirely because they also emit sulfur, which can scatter sunlight in the atmosphere and form or thicken clouds that reflect it away. In effect, the shipping industry has been carrying out an unintentional experiment in climate engineering for more than a century. Global mean temperatures could be as much as 0.25 ˚C lower than they would otherwise have been, based on the mean “forcing effect” calculated by a 2009 study that pulled together other findings (see “The Growing Case for Geoengineering”). For a world struggling to keep temperatures from rising more than 2 ˚C, that’s a big helping hand. And we’re about to take it away. In 2016, the UN’s International Maritime Organization announced that by 2020, international shipping vessels will have to significantly cut sulfur pollution. Specifically, ship owners must switch to fuels with no more than 0.5 percent sulfur content, down from the current 3.5 percent, or install exhaust cleaning systems that achieve the same reduction, Shell noted in a brochure for customers. There are very good reasons to cut sulfur: it contributes to both ozone depletion and acid rain, and it can cause or exacerbate respiratory problems. But as a 2009 paper in Environmental Science & Technology noted, limiting sulfur emissions is a double-edged sword. “Given these reductions, shipping will, relative to present-day impacts, impart a ‘double warming’ effect: one from [carbon dioxide], and one from the reduction of [sulfur dioxide],” wrote the authors. “Therefore, after some decades the net climate effect of shipping will shift from cooling to warming.” Sulfur pollution from coal burning has a similar effect. Some studies suggest that China’s surge in coal consumption over the last decade partly offset the recent global warming trend (though coal does have a strong net warming effect). It’s difficult to estimate how much the new rule could affect temperatures. We don’t know enough about cloud physics and the behavior of atmospheric particles, nor how diligently the shipping industry will comply with the new rule, says Robert Wood, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington. Another wrinkle is that ships emit other particles that can sometimes also stimulate cloud droplets to form, including black carbon, a major component of soot. Removing the sulfur from the fuel could alter the size and quantity of these particles, which could affect clouds as well, says Lynn Russell, a professor of atmospheric science at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “So we can’t really say exactly what the change will be,” says Russell, though she adds that the rule change is “likely” to produce a warming effect on balance. The upcoming change does offer a different way of thinking about intentional efforts to cool the climate, known as geoengineering, according to some proponents of research in this area. Rather than some radical experiment, deliberate geoengineering could instead be seen as a way of continuing to do what we’ve been doing inadvertently with ships, but in a safer way. Sulfur emissions cool the planet in two ways, directly and indirectly. The direct way is that when sulfur dioxide is further oxidized in the atmosphere, it can form particles that reflect sunlight back into space. This happens in large volcanic eruptions, which can release tens of millions of tons of sulfur dioxide. The indirect way is that sulfur particles can also act as nuclei around which cloud droplets form. Clouds, too, reflect more sunlight. You can see this in satellite images, which show lines of white clouds above the ocean along busy shipping lanes. Geoengineering researchers have explored both processes, but with less toxic particles, as potential ways to alter the climate (see “Scientists Consider Brighter Clouds to Preserve the Great Barrier Reef”). For instance, researchers with the Marine Cloud Brightening Project, centered at the University of Washington, have spent years studying the possibility of spraying tiny salt particles into the sky along coastlines to induce cloud droplets to form. The group has spent the last few years attempting to raise several million dollars to build the sort of sprayers that would be needed, in the hopes of carrying out small-scale field experiments somewhere along the Pacific coastline. Both Russell and Wood said the upcoming rule change could also offer a chance to conduct some basic climate science by observing the interactions between airborne particles and clouds. Those insights could make climate simulations more accurate—how clouds behave is one of the least understood parts of the system, Wood says—as well as informing the debate about whether and how to carry out geoengineering. But that all depends on whether scientists can get funding for such research, which will require more frequent satellite observations and surface sensors. Ideally, the research should start before the new rule goes into effect to ensure an accurate picture of how things change. “We’re approaching dangerous thresholds of temperature increases, so an additional bump of 0.1 or 0.2 degrees is something that we as a civilization should be watching really, really closely,” says Kelly Wanser, principal director with the Marine Cloud Brightening Project. Whether the money will be available is less clear. Certain nations have been increasing funding levels for climate research. But it’s become far more difficult to secure such grants in the United States under the Trump administration, which specifically sought to cut NASA programs that monitor clouds and airborne particles.

Look, he was looking a little too Anton Levey-ish in the black White garb is more guru/gura-ish it balances out the bald/goatee thing, less predictable

Can we get back on topic a) Either God is You or b) God is not You

On top of that he believes nonduality exists!

Mayor de Blasio disses Mike Bloomberg’s presidential ambitions By Shant Shahrigian New York Daily News | Nov 11, 2019 Mayor de Blasio said Monday there’s “no way” his predecessor Mike Bloomberg should be the Democratic presidential nominee. “This is a Democratic Party today that’s getting more progressive, that wants to address the concerns of working people, that does not accept the status quo," de Blasio told reporters alongside the Veterans Day Parade in Midtown. “There’s no way in the world we should nominate a billionaire who epitomizes the status quo.” Hizzoner praised Bloomberg, who began taking serious steps to enter the race last week, for Bloomberg’s action on issues like climate change and gun control. But de Blasio, who put an end to his humiliating presidential run in September, slammed Bloomberg for allegedly falling short of areas de Blasio himself has prioritized. “I think when he was mayor he had no understanding of the inequality crisis,” de Blasio said. “I think he was absolutely tone deaf to what working people were going through in this city and there’s a number of other areas where he had a chance to do something and he just did not make it a priority.” Still, de Blasio said a Bloomberg vs. President Trump contest would be a no-brainer. “Would he be better than Donald trump? Of course,” de Blasio said. “Should he be the democratic nominee? No.”

The easiest home meal is pasta. If you boil the pasta for 10 minutes when it's done you can put on cold tomato sauce right from the refrigerator on top of it and mix it in. The pasta so hot anyway after it's strained that mixing in the sauce heats it up and cools off the sauce perfectly. Alternatively for protein, cook the sauce in a separate pot and put in a handful of frozen peas or some other protein n small pieces and cook while the pasta is cooking. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes. Needs black pepper and optionally grated cheese or fine chopped basil leaves

To what extent are people doing that due to feeling it in combination of acting like that because screaming. Insane movements are the norm in those sessions? Also when it gets to that point where people are doing that how much of the technique have they done to get to that point what is the duration. There are sets of the power breathing how many breathes in each set and how many sets and how long in between? You said WHM (power breaths especially) is easy to integrate in daily life. Holotropic breathwork not so much. Is Holotropic breathwork not so much only because of the group situation is not as convenient?

any examples?
