My go-to breakfast is some fruit or golden oatmeal - 1/4 cup of oats, 1 cup plant-based milk, something to sweet it up, and a half teaspoon of turmeric. I like to sprinkle some salt and pepper into it too. A toast with mayo and avocado. Ultra-quick oat cookies with peanut butter. 2 cups rolled oats, 5 spoons or more of honey/liquid sweetener/sugar, enough peanut butter to make it stick together, similar amount to the sweetener, half a teaspoon of baking soda, cinnamon or turmeric or vanilla to give it taste, optionally less sweetener but add choclate or rasins or dates instead.

I remember reading in Trevor Noah's childhood biography, that when he has lived in a hood in RPA every one must have known that the ultra-cheap stuff, like frozen burger patties some colleague at work is selling, a cheap TV from someone at the corner of the street, or running shoes bought with "employee discount" was stolen stuff. Yet everyone had denied it by saying "Oh, no, no it can't be stolen, Tom is a good guy, don't talk about him like that, we can't know where the burger patties come from." Survival 101 BTW guys, did you know that there's quite a lot of men named Hitler in RPA? It's all over the Africa. It's because they often have a law that additionaly to your african name you need to have a "western" name, too. So back in the day, when people were reading the news about a strong man, leader of Germany, Adolf Hitler, they named their kids after him. I wonder how many Donald Trump's were born in Africa during the last 4 years, haha.

You can take a paper from some naive materialist and rip it apart with arguments, isn't it? It should be easier to get to 6 or more papers that way, haha. -

How to Find a Hot Witch Girlfriend - finally it's cuming out after all those long years. Though, I silently hope the video won't be dating-related.

@ColeMC01 Meditating daily, not missing any days? 40 minutes at least?
-
@ColeMC01 Some people might bash me for this advice but simply start something, it doesn't have to be related to dating directly, it can be a habit like meditation, gym, or yoga. Do it daily for 2-3 months, it will improve your general mood, mindset, and will-power. Taking massive action in dating or business should look then much more attainable.

@charlie cho Have you ever done personality test? Are you ENTP? You sound a lot like ENTP.

@fridjonk Here's a stupid PragerU video by a former Obama administration member. I doubt Obama "Yellowness" when he has been picking such dumb-dumbs for important roles. He has been too much pro-corporate for my taste to call him Yellow.

Any meritoric contrarguments against his ideas from the first video? I have thought it's good, curious what you are actually diaagreeing with him as it is not obvious.

A lot of people is looking for an inspiration for their life purpose or career choice, so I have thought we can give them a helping hand. Let's try focusing for 5 minutes and give our best shot at coming up with viable conscious business ideas. I will start: Conscious management consultant/scholar Publishing house - focusing on ecology, spirituality, psychedelics and developmental theories. Recycling facility Eco-farm or permaculture Collecting used oil Tree planting Selling water treatment technologies Holistic health clinic Psychedelics retreat center Organizing Dyads groups Kriya Yoga studio I am eager to hear your ideas.

@Sam Barker You won't feel fit and healthy from doing Kriya Yoga, hah. I do both Kriya and Iyengar Hatha Yoga and I can tell you, Kriya is a good addon to a meditation practice, but not a replacement for exercise. The arguments against "western physical yoga" are exaggerated. It's still the same classic postions, they work regardless whether you do them for the right reason of getting Enlightened or for the reason of getting a nice looking round ass. -
Yellow economics is something more. It's do what will work, but also doing it for the right values, creating a self-sustaining or even regenerative system. Looking long-term. Doing what works is not enough, because exploitation often works very well in the short-term. A stage Yellow economist:

The video is of surprisingly good quality. You are very easy to listen to and catch attention with your voice.

What you describe is rare. Results of your average meditator are not like that. -

Most sober awakenings are short, too. -
If you ain't at least above average ambitious you won't finish the course, won't even take it.

I am my own yoga studio I just can't accept it. It smells too much of neo-advaita to me, like "oh, meditation has nothing to do with Enlightenment, just realize you are already Enlightened now", said by a guru with 20 years of formal meditation experience, for example. Do I say that doing yoga is a requirement to be happy? No, but it does help for sure, I am speaking from my observations. I am doing it for months and suddenly find myself smiling to the mirror in the mornings, being satisfied with work, blissing out while sitting comfortably in a chair, way more often than ever. Am I supposed to assume it just happens by itself in the moment, or actually use the mind I have got to create an abstract connection that it's thanks to yoga? Yoga is a tool that enables you by doing to have more being in your life. Like psychedelics, which are tools that enable you to experience samadhi. I am not a fan of the direct path and I don't see error in my thinking.
-
If happiness really is unconditional, then I think I won't. I totally can imagine a scenario where I am doing lots of yoga and I am being happy, then suddenly I can't do it anymore and discover that I don't need it to be fulfilled and never have needed. That this happinness just stays with me.
-
It's easier to just sit there and be happy after doing an hour of yoga poses, haha. So it's not so that you can't to do anything to be happy, there are ways to prime yourself for appreciating being.
-
You go, girl! Keep that yoga practice, it's one of the best things you can do for your overall well-being. I am so happy after starting to practice daily. To do so I have set up a scheme with my spiritually inclined friend that every day he will do 1-hour meditation and I will do 20 minutes of Kriya Yoga and 40 minutes of Iyengar Yoga at least. It works wonders, we send each other messages on Messenger after completing the routine, and if any one of us fails to complete the quest we send $5 for charity for every day missed. You might consider embarking on a similar challenge with your friends. Don't beat yourself too much, be honest, stay strong. Why honest? Because the things we beat ourselves over are often subtle lies, I know it all too well, haha. Cheers.

I recommend for starters to go to a studio and learn from a teacher directly for a few months. Not online videos. That's what I did, and I think it was a good decision because at the studio you can talk to others, check what gear they have, hear reviews. Also, the teacher can correct your newbie errors, they won't do it after your first class unless your errors are critical, haha, but after some time will tell you how to improve. You can ask them how to do some position as a male, as the popular female YT yoga teachers don't mention advice for men often. -
That's not how it works. I am no financial guru, but 1% has the majority of bitcoins not because of trading for so long and effectively, but from the fact that they had tens of millions of dollars or more to invest in it. They had it almost from the beginning. How? You only have old data, you could guess that it's impossible to rise as high as it had previously, but how will you determine how low in terms of percent growth it can stop?
-
I am not interested in investing at all, but I think it's foolish to look at growth through the lens of percentage. The big players who manipulate and push the price up don't have infinte amounts of money, so obviously the higher the base price, the less their sheningans will affect it in terms of percent growth. I would rather look for who the big players are and how much money they have put to manipulate the market back then and nowadays.

@DocWatts @Elevated Guys, I have almost missed a book you are talking about, because there were no pictures in any of your post, but the books seem very interesting, so I will post a cover there to catch attention of people browsing this thread in the future, haha.
