You need to be at a certain level of conciousness to realise that there is something like a Life Purpose, what most would call fantasy, you would call potential career. Although many do either stumble upon their life purpose without knowing or have been driven since youth towards something greater than the 9-5 slavery, without calling it Life Purpose.

there's plenty for us to watch for next 6 months, take a break as long as you need man

Good post, got me thinking a bit about my routine which is largely habitual and less about enjoying it, that's the mindset I've always had about working out. Perhaps its time for a slight makeover

@Key Elements It is sad that mainstream medicine does not consider Diabates being treatable. But maybe that's what the pharmaceutical system wants, Diabates is a multibillion dollar industry. Aftersome point medicine will not do it. In the beginning they out them on metformin or other but once the disease has progressed and cells are very resistant, they need a big dose of insulin that is released very fast. And also these poor people are being told to eat whatever they can as long as they get the insulin which is not truth at all...thats when you see all the loss of sensitivity in limbs and twitches all over the body. It is a terrible life once you go down the medical route but for most that is the only option.

Well the hot water helps some of the healing elements in the herb to get out but the amount is very limited and the boiing heat may actually kill a lot of the herb's compounds. Most herbalists consider herbal tinctures with alcohol the most powerful way to extract its healing properties. Ideal ratio would be around 4:1 from wildcrafted herbs that have been dried properly in correct temperature.

While there is a great degree of scheming and rule bending going on everywhere, generally those who are part of Organic associations such as "Soil Association" in the UK do really have to undergo rigorous process, get tested randomly, have to submit a lot of reports and use very standardised agricultural practices. Of course this is not 10% and there is always ways to go around but generally organic should mean your food is cleaner.

the insulin resistance (type II) can definitelly be reversed. What you can't revers is the neuropathy, damaged nerves and arteries....at least i haven't heard about it being possible but could be wrong. More and more nutritional therapists are proving that Type II can be nearly cured with lifestyle interventions.

@The Don true...once dormant in trigeminal nerve, Herpes never goes away but we all also have candida, we all have tiny tumours growing in our bodies all the time, we have so many dormant viruses and bacteria just waiting to unleash hell that it would make your head spin buddy BUT....they are all held in quarantine by your immune system, constantly under surveillance of wandering macrophages, T-Cells, B-Cells, NK Cells etc...your personal army ready to die for you at any second. So do your best to support your immunity. 70% if it resides in your colon so treat the little buggers well and you won't have a problem with Herpes breakouts or any of other nasties. Dont drink dont smoke, eat a lot of fibre and wholefoods especially fruits, take cold showers every once in a while, stay hydrated, keep active and minimise the stress. The immune system can handle incredible amount of pathogens before you see first symptoms.

Please share your story if you have ever tried Tai-Chi Would you recommend it? What is your experience? Thanks

Seems like your circadian rhythm is all over the place and you need to teach your body a proper sleeping pattern. I hope it goes without saying that any coffee, black teas, redbulls, recreational drugs and green teas need to go....they might be too stimulating for you. Some people are naturally extremely slow caffeine removers, this could be you. Try to follow the following in exact order: Start by going to sleep at exactly the same time every day. Could be say 9pm and force yourself to lay there and breathe deeply until you are able to fall asleep at least a bit. It is important that this time is fixed so that your body starts to learn. Buy blue light blocking glasses and start wearing them 2 hour prior your bed time. At the same time start switching of all your electronics, no more peaking on instagram, facebook, youtube not even reading on your tablet....reading a book is preferable. Put your phones on airplane mode and switch any unnecesary lights, blinking or similar things. 1 hour before bed time dim all artificial lights, only light few candles in your home to have enough life to avoid bumping into the walls. (OPTIONAL) 30 mins before bed, start doing a 20 minute stretching in form of yoga. Observe that this is what your dog would naturally do before going to bed. Many animals do this. I don't know the science behind this but it seems this helps put us at sleep. Just 10 mins before bedtime sit at the edge of your bed and do a deep abdominal breathing after which you will make your way straight to the bed. Make sure that curtains are shut as much as possible. EXTRA TIPs: Consider buying pistachio nuts, they have one of the highest naturally occuring melatonin and have 2-5 around 2 hours before bed. Also if possible invest in curtains that give you 100% darkness, these can be installed and they do make a difference massively. You may need pitch dark for your body to leave the serotonin pathway and start going down melatonin pathway.

Agreed, there is army of people thriving on this type of diet healing anything from arthritis to diabetes. So are people on plant based, keto, paleo, raw...you name it. The interesting thing is that it appears that these people are afraid to introduce plants because it triggers back their symptoms. Kasey on Vegetable Police has introduced grapes and his gut got fucked up again, I think something similar happened to Jordan. This tells me that meat diet is a masking diet, like pharmaceuticals and the core issue remains unattended. But I am open to being wrong, absolutely. Carni has only been around for relatively short time so we don't have a lot of evidence as to how this effects longevity however we have solid data on preferably plant based diets (with some meat) that show very positive benefits. Guess we'll have to wait another 50 years till some solid evidence is presented from observational studies that are most likely already going on.

At the same time ego can keep you motivated TO GROW, ego likes to feel that it is improving, doing more than others, being better, smarter, more developed. Most personal development does not stem from wanting to be an incredibly evolved human being but rather wanting to be better than everybody else....but at the same time I agree that on the edges of personal dev, especially when entering spirituality and non-duality the ego will do its best to protect you from entering this dimension...at least that's how it is in my life

@ElenaO in that case perhaps you need a bit of a nutrient boost as cold can drain your nutrients very very fast especially the ones I mentioned above. Getting something like a complex dose of all micros in a powder for couple days could be a good idea. I am not a fan of this being long term solution but these can definitelly push you a step above especially if some key nutrients are low. Not sure where you are based but there is a good variety on market in most countries. And ofcourse blending your daily smoothies is an excelent way to boost an antioxidant defence. Chug 100g of bluberries with some flaxseeds and 50g of greens and some other goodies and you will get a very decent dose of immune support

This is your solution right there. I was exactly in the same situation for 2 years in my early 20s. I couldnt get this girl out of my head even though she was with someone else. Put yourself in situation where you will have opportunities to meet other girls, talk to them and you will see that many have same qualities and perhaps even better looks, once you get to know someone else as good as this girl, your feelings to her will start to change.

Jordan's depression was cured by meat because his digestive health is in the toilet and meat is relatively easy to digest with no inflammatory properties, at least not immediate, a sensitive gut that is inflamed will be scratched by fibre hence plant foods cause a lot of pain to these people. Carnivore diet is not a solution it masks the symptoms of impaired absorbtion, methylation disruption and potentially leaky gut and IBS.

@ElenaO this may be kinda silly question but are you eating enough protein-rich foods? Are you getting 1.2g/kg of bodyweight? Often people largely undereat this. This is important because your body needs amino acids to create immunoglobulins to mediate an immune response.( IgA, IgE, IgM, IgD and IgG) Also your white blood cells, the tiny warriors of your immune system are largely made of protein. Your main antioxidant in the body called glutathione is very dependant on a combination of several amino acids, this helps in immune response and detoxification as well. At the same time boosting your zinc (supplement for a short time if necessary) and dietary antioxidants (vit C, vit E) by eating a lot of fruits and berries may definitelly help.

@Epiphany_Inspired I was re-reading some of what you wrote before and you said that this happened after a critical incident in your life which caused a lot of stress. Stress response is managed by your adrenal glands secreting adrenaline (acute stress) and cortisol (chronic stress). Cortisol is also an anti inflammatory compound which your body uses to put away the inflammation once the damaged has been repaired. -> so I am thinking that the stress weakened your adrenals to a level that they can't put that bladder inflammation to a rest....thats just a hypothesis. If you are saying you are starting to have kidney pains, it could be that an infection is spreading...but maybe not. Really hard to say without proper diagnosis. My suggestion would be to see your GP despite whatever your beliefs around modern medicine and try to get a scan or a total blood count. They can check for inflammatory markers like ESR or C-reactive protein or leukocytes and see whats up. At the same time eating an alkaline, healing diet in form of raw fruits and vegetables is definitelly a good idea. From my experience Dr Morse's herbs are incredibly powerful...they definitelly helped me to massively reduce my allergies during Summer this year, I made a post about it couple months back. Good luck friend!

One of my longer term goals is to setup a Naturopathic Healing Centre to be able to see clients personally. Having studied Spiral Dynamics, I am hoping to be at stage Yellow by the time this happens. What would you say a Yellow healing centre looks like? I want to incorporate Orange (evidence based treatment) as well as Green (herbs, lifestyle, meditation, detox...) but when trying to look from Yellow perspective can't see what would be different. Thanks for any advice

@aurum damn, that was some insightful shit right there! Thanks for sharing.

I saw this written somewhere once and for some reason it resonated with me deeply. There is just something deep to this sentence. What are your thoughts? Just another green mumbo jumbo or a a mindblowing insight?

@aurum Yeah I think I am starting to see it more and more in every day life, especially in deeds I used to see as purely evil and selfish. Would make for an interesting video on your channel perhaps the culprit of all mankind's suffering right there!

How old are you? Any chance this could be related to decreasing bone density or osteoarthritis? Anyways agreed with @ajasatya, go see your doc, get a scan and see what's up. Then figure out how to deal with it and your mind will be a powerful tool once you are heading the right direction.

It is important to take it easy and go slow on your digestion. Chances are your stomach has shrunk a bit and your pancreas got used to pumping digestive juices less often. Smoothies are one of the best way to crank up more calories into easily digestible form without stretching the stomach walls too much. Adding something like a protein powder into it will help with the gain of muscle mass. Focus on quality over quantity. Eat foods dense in micronutrients as close to natural state as possible. Think more wholefoods and less processed pre-cooked packed foods. If you crave meat, give it a go and see how it makes you feel. Don't carry any stigma around food unless you try it yourself. Yes, it is possible that if you bump up your calories, initially you will see some side effects like bloating, diarrhoea or constipation. Most of all if you want to gain some muscle, the nutrition is only portion of the success, the other is putting sufficient stress to activate anabolic processes. Sleep is equally important as that is when your hypothalamus releases the most GHRH. Growth happens more while you sleep than in the gym.

The guy in Road Less Travelled (I think it was that book) talked about this a bit. Basically these stage Blue people be it christian, muslim, budhist monks have often been indoctrinated way way long before they had the opportunity to gain some sexual experience and maturity. Many christian monks have lived in strictly no-sex no-sin families and hence their sexual maturation stopped by the age of 10 or 15 depends on how early the "education" started. You can say they had their libido "frozen" at that time of their life. Later on in their 50s when they are once again exploring their sexuality, they continue where they left of in their 15. Not all of them become pedophiles but often this is the case because they were not able to go through that period of liking girls, getting first kisses as other kids so they don't know any better. But now they have these strong sexual urges and they don't know how to cope with it. And the thing for young boys is probably that they are easier to get to than young girls because many young boys serve in the church these days and spend a lot of time with priests where parents are generally very protective of their daughters, way more than the boys. EDIT enlightenment doesn't prevent you from being a horny chimp and doing irrational decisions if you have not evolved properly as a human being.

you guys need to relax...he missed videos few times in the past and there was always this type of thread opened. "Omg has Leo died..why is there no video"? One time somebody posted an article of guy dying in motorcycle crash in Vegas and all of a sudden this was Leo committing suicide on psychadelics
