Everlast

Hey, I'm new to this forum and excited to join such a positive community of others on a journey of self-actualization / growth! I hope it's appropriate that I started this as a new thread... I couldn't find this topic specifically addressed in other threads, but as a newbie it's possible I didn't do a sufficient search. My question to others here is this: Are there any specific nutritional considerations to assist in one's quest for enlightenment, and what support / evidence do you have for your suggestion? Let's assume we are already reducing / eliminating highly processed foods, sugars, artificial sweeteners, etc. Ie: would a more plant-based diet such as veganism be more micronutrient-dense and easier on your digestion (less heavy) and thus would support mental clarity? Or would it be too high in carbohydrates, and perhaps a diet higher in healthy fats, animal products, etc, and lower in carbs such as paleo be better in that it provides brain fuel and slower burning energy from fats (vs starches), as well as higher protein? What about other nutritional considerations / approaches ie: Keto? Also, thoughts/experience on the benefits of fasting in this respect? I use intermittent fasting several days per week (fast from 8 or 9pm until about noon the next day)... but would longer periods of time beneficial for enhancing one's awakening process? Any thoughts on this topic would be appreciated. As I work in the health and fitness industry I'm keen to incorporate physical and nutritional practices in my quest for personal growth!

This is something I've been pondering as well at this point in my personal development. I'm happily married to a wonderful woman, but I still have what I suppose are "natural" sexual urges or lust toward other women. Not to label it as right or wrong, but I'm wondering if it would be helpful not to "feed" those urges (ie: not get into those fantasies as much, or to avoid pornography, etc) in order to release those distractions... or is that something that is normal and healthy. Thoughts from anyone here? I'm at a point where I'd like to be living a life as free from "internal" conflict as possible.

This is something I've been considering a lot more lately as well... the relationship between sexuality and personal growth / enlightenment. Could sex (with orgasm) with someone you love help your awakening, or is there a benefit to refraining from climax (to conserve that energy or whatever)? What might be the harmful effects of pornography related to personal growth? Are polyamorous relationships more "natural" for those who have higher consciousness / awareness? (This is a touchy topic as I'm happily married).
