It’s funny 😹😹 You need duality to love because something loves something else you mean?

I exist because my parents fucked what do you mean?

It doesn’t

What😹

I don’t think there is a reason for the self existing.

Basically humans suffer because of how their egos work fundamentally. As non dualist Jim Newman said, the sense of separation is a tragedy.

Exactly

I’m not really sure what to even trust. But it seems from what I’ve read the Nordic nutrition recommendation is based on a big body of research and that’s why I saw it as a good part of a foundation, to see one perspective of what the science says. It’s not for no reason they say that. There’s this quote too I’ve heard “Eat food. Mostly plants, not too much” . I personally don’t follow the recommendation about low fat diary for example. So I don’t follow it all. And I also make sure to feel for myself what feels good to eat

The ego can’t help it to identify with something, it’s limited in its structure

“Let it go” lmao it’s fine I just asked. Im guessing I would be the same on psychedelics

Don’t know what you mean by Willy at attention but it’s fine

I agree . He is one of a kind

Reminds me of what David Goggins has said “I wanted to be uncommon amongst the uncommon”.

What’s the first thing you wanna do ?😏

I will try to implement more plants into my diet and eat more in accordance to the recommendations and see how it goes. Nice I’ve never tasted it. Tofu is good though , I like the soft texture. One can flavor it with anything

Understood. I know it’s your way of thinking, and it’s unique

Doesn’t it only cause problems for people who are sensitive? I like my cheese too Thanks If it doesn’t work for you then you know to stay away from it ofc. Whatever feels the best is probably the best. I will try to adjust my diet and see how it goes. I eat a lot of chicken for example and will try to replace it with veggies sometimes.

Because you think it should all be internally based, I’m guessing . One should remove the outside influence. When one is sure in oneself (has foundation) it’s neutral how one is, unless its a hindrance, if I’m getting you.

The way the ego works fundamentally causes problems. So you have an attachment, automatically means you fear the loss of it. You have an identity as something, automatically means you must judge the opposite. So it’s the fundamental structure of the ego that causes these problems one has. What we can do if we don’t manage to dissolve the structures is to do our best to work with it, so if it makes you feel better by thinking like you wrote in the post, then that’s a good thing. You’ve become aware of some of the problems of the ego and found some solution

Bad self image can be created by others, by being unsure of yourself so you’re easily affected by outside. Or it can be created more internally like you have some ideal standard in your mind and you’re not meeting that so you have a negative self image of yourself, doesn’t need outside to tell you that you’re bad you still feel like you are. Or it can be both outside and inside. Like you can have an internal standard for yourself that comes from outside influence. You can be “sure of yourself” in a negative way, when you have bad self image. Ideally you’ll be sure of yourself in a positive or neutral way (like having the self image of being asocial but not caring about it like you said)

Yes it def contribute. That’s why I think a holistic approach is good. So taking care of what you put in your mind, your mindset, etc. It all plays a role

I think if one sticks to Whole Foods and eats a variety of plants one is good to go. But ofc not everyone knows how simple it can be.

It might apply to some with depression. I know a person with depression and they have struggle with self image too, unstable sense of self, so it might be what you mentioned. So mind will be all over the place. It can also be connected to having a negative self image. Or a disconnect from oneself. It’s a tricky topic and depression probably has a wide variety of causes

I know there’s toxins in almost everything nowadays. If you eat a healthy diet, especially organic, it has less toxins, I don’t know how much of an effect it has though, how much it is in it. So I can’t say in that case. I think in most cases if a person eats healthy and are still depressed it’s probably not due to diet

Absolutely. I agree. If one eats a bad diet
