She's different and came out of a super Green culture. Both of her sisters are in entertainment business as well, the conditioning to excel and create a media persona was encouraged and supported by her Mother. The childlike manner at 23 yrs old is refreshing yet of no surprise to me, she's still basically a kid. The kind of work she does actually requires a lot of adult qualities to pull it off. She knows she has to be different to be famous. And this is the right time to project the Green vibe of purity, innocence, and love. That's what the world needs at it's stage of evolution. I love her music

@Aakash The alkaline water I use is also ionized. It is better absorbed water too because of its hexagon molecule. When I have a massage, I hear all the time that I'm one of the most hydrated clients they worked on because of how well hydrated and pliable my muscles and skin are.

I measure my PH levels regularly and it stays at the balanced 7 mark. I eat mostly fresh organic foods, but there are also some foods that I eat that are acidic, like poultry, eggs, fish, starches (potatoes, rice), honey, dark chocolate, etc, so I figure alkaline water balances out all this acidity. I even go a step further and add raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar to my water and consume fermented foods regularly to help replenish good gut bacteria. So far my digestion has worked fine. What are your thought on that?

@theking00 Awesome, congrats! A.k.a. the shift

@Cody_Atzori Fresh salads from whatever fresh veggies + fruit + nuts + seeds you have available. Dressing = olive oil + fresh lemon juice Potato and beet salad = 1 boiled beet (peel, cut finely) + 1 boiled potato (peel, cut finely) + half fresh onion (peel, cut finely) + 1 boiled carrot (peel, cut finely) + 1 medium size pickle cut finely + fresh parsley cut finely + olive oil + sea salt Sandwiches from good bread (preferably non-gluten) with guacamole (fresh avocado finely chopped + 1 clove of garlic finely chopped + lemon juice + sea salt), or with mayo and sliced fresh tomato, or with hummus from cooked beans (like chickpeas) + cumin + fresh lemon juice + olive oil + sea salt, or with eggplant salad (baked and finely chopped eggplant without skin + finely chopped fresh onion + finely chopped fresh tomato + fresh lemon juice + olive oil + sea salt), or etc.

It does when one awakes. The illusion is localized, however. One has to get disillusioned to realize their true nature.

@Rodrigo SIlva The Absolute experiences itself through form. Without the contrast of duality we would never know about Oneness. So we need a limited mind to know the infinite one (as paradoxical as it may sound). The illusion is localized, but this we all share - the essence of reality and the no-mind perspective.

@tashawoodfall Doesn't sound like an ideal situation and with lots of red fags. You have basically been 'purchased' and now seen as 'owned property' by your new beau. A bird in a golden cage kind of situation. Super rich dudes have always given me creeps. Perhaps the limiting belief to tackle would be 'I need a man/rich man to make me feel complete/worthy'. Work on cultivating healthy self-love and stay safe. Hugs

@Aydin You can research your own condition, you know yourself better than anyone else. Observe and write down the symptoms, triggers, patterns etc as they come up and do your home-work. From what you shared in OP I'd say start by reading on PTSD and attachment styles. SpartanLifeCoach Richard Grannon has excellent YT videos on PTSD. Also, what @pluto said - nature is the best therapy and it's free

@AleksM Great read, and insights, thanks for sharing.

I was at the gym today and they played this song on their radio station and I thought to myself I haven't heard this song in a long time. Love the voice, the beat, and those sexy outfits haha

@Lay_Zen_Licious From a female perspective, if you continue as FWB in an open relationship, it will be painful for her to watch you go out with other women and then when/if you two eventually part again. A woman is wired by evolution to want to feel special - one egg being competed for by a million sperms. That's an extent of how special a woman craves to feel to a man. She can't have that with you at the moment. If she was truly becoming more independent, she would not want to be a FWB material, simple as that. Especially after 4 years of being together. She won't be happy in an open relationship, so that should be a clue for you.

@Lay_Zen_Licious Sounds to me like a case of co-dependency and it's not a healthy dynamic in a relationship. There was a reason why the split happened in the first place, so why do you think it's going to work the second time around?

You might want to check out Paul Smit. He's a non-dual teacher who gives presentations to business people/businesses on spirituality and non-duality. Here one of his talks, he makes it quite interesting to listen and uses humor too

Make smaller words using the word ENLIGHTENMENT-BOUND! Rules: - Use only the letters in the word 'enlightenment-bound' and do not repeat any letters (e.g. O can only be used once, T can be used twice, and not more than that) - Smaller words can be any word as long as it exists in English vocabulary - One new word per post - One person can submit more than one word (in a separate post) - Check other posts to avoid double posting of the same word. I'm going to start with the most obvious one Light

@abrakamowse Rufi and Klee are leaving Etsy, because of the new shipping policies and other changes that Etsy is implementing now. In this video they share what other sites/marketing avenues are good ones for selling your arts and stuff (from 7:45 - 8:20 mins)

I've visited Kiev a few times when lived in Ukraine. I was born and raised in Odessa on the Black Sea.

@abrakamowse I'll buy a shirt when you start selling. Got to support local artist/business

@abrakamowse The above pic reminds me of

@abrakamowse Maybe leave the question mark white and the rest as is?

@Uncover Not sure if you're familiar with Spiral Dynamics, but marriage based on religious conviction is Stage Blue, while your GF sounds like she might be Stage Green on this matter. Green is 2 stages more advanced than Blue. Quite a gap in value system/psychological evolution. Leo has good videos on each stage, if you're interested in checking those out.

Your cute doggie gave me a new word Tongue :-P

@DrewNows The doggy picture gave new word Long

Yes

It's all God's 'doing' via its 'will'. And, of course, this is all conceptual/language stuff that further reinforces the illusion.
