  1. What about a baby chicken? This is why slaughterhouses are not located right next to your local strip mall.
  2. There are also many cooking books that call for salt and pepper
  3. Who is the I that is being pinched when adding a pinch of salt to pot
  4. And be thankful if you have opportunities to leave unsafe environments. Not everyone has that capability, so they happily suffer silently.
  5. @Applegarden8 The overall theme is that whenever you challenge any system, expect shit to go down one way or another. With great power comes great responsibility.
  6. Consider the possibility that you can also awaken to what hell is… The good news is that reality isn’t just hell ^__^
  7. On a contrasting note, Trump had a bunch of supporters during the Jan 6 Capital attack, yet Trump still lost the election.

  9. The mind can be really stubborn when it comes to change, especially when it comes to replacing unhealthy habits that you’ve gotten attached to for years and decades. So there will inevitably be an arduous transitional period where you’re still latching onto old ways despite making positive, new changes in your life. This is a normal part of the process; just don’t let yourself deviate back to your backwards too long.
  10. I never drink alcohol, but I LOVE Penne alla vodka!
  11. Sure. I failed countless times in the traditional academic system. I’ve had to discover alternative ways of learning. So it’s not that I am incapable of learning, it’s that I am embracing the fact that I learn differently.

  13. I hurt someone I loved today. It’s part of the process of understanding your shadow. (I am not claiming to be enlightened by the way)
  14. I think it’ll be hard to fathom where it’ll be in even 5-10 years. Wild
  15. Yes. Psychedelics helped open my mind and also helped me become more authentic with myself. Even after completing them it took a bunch of integration work. And I still am improving (-:
  16. Do you think you would have still been able to create Actualized if you never moved out of Russia?
  17. You can start in small ways, for example, speaking up against your own family’s corruption.
  18. It took a very long time and a lot of suffering for me to finally discover a therapist who gets me. She taught me powerful life skills, such as leading a life based off of autonomy and learning not to look at my life strictly through a trauma lens. Also, that therapy ultimately works best when you advocate for yourself and lead with an open heart and mind.
  19. The assumption here is that there is a person that becomes enlightened.
