Most likely dsybiosis and/or SIBO -- imbalance in gut bacteria. Many things could cause it, very hard to track down the sole cause. Could be autoimmune, could be bad bacteria you picked up somewhere. Yes, low FODMAP will give the bad bacteria less fuel. Plant matter and plant sugars are the biggest culprits. A basic stool test is not accurate enough to detect SIBO. That requires specialized breath tests. Stool tests are generally quite poor in what they can tell you. Find a doctor who specializes in Functional Medicine and SIBO and gut/auto-immune conditions. Normal doctors are not worth going to. If you got SIBO, just eating meat will relieve symptoms but it will not cure you. Cure usually requires nuking your gut with antibiotics but this is risky and troublesome with no guarantees it will work and then your gut microbiome will be ruined for years and need to be built from scratch. Elimination diet is a very important tool for finding which foods cause you problems. Research how to do elimination diet. Research SIBO. Age is also a factor. As you get older your gut will function worse and you won't be able to eat as sloppily as you did in your youth.

To the mind of a child Sesame Street is great entertainment.

It's not about money. It's about the ego feeling important and significant. Because these people are spiritually bankrupt all they have to live for is the feeling of self-importance they get from achieving ever more. If they stopped they would feel empty and miserable. They would have to do spiritual work from scratch and feel ordinary and lost.

You are speaking about a serious crime. Obviously that is not acceptable from a human POV. You should care enough about yourself to protect yourself from crime and abuse. Nothing I teach means that you don't take good care of yourself or tolerate abuse from others.

@MarkKol Vlad covers Trump and American politics a lot. I share everything I know on my blog. If I find anything good I post it there.

@RendHeaven Why would you eat any chemical raw?? Put it inside an empty gelatin capsule for vitamins. https://www.amazon.com/Empty-Gelatin-Capsules-Size-Filling/dp/B0DJ8PKTHP/

Of course. But notice further than even once those people get money and sex, they still don't care about truth, they continue endlessly chasing more money and sex. Do any of the richest and most powerful people lack access to basic needs? No. Yet they are still lost in chasing success and survival. And I cared about truth before I had money or sex. Caring about truth transcends your material situation. Which is why getting a billion dollars will not suddenly make you care about truth. And also notice, if you really cared about truth you would work really hard to handle your base material needs so that you can focus on truth without being distracted by survival.

@Butters Don't invoke my name or teachings in your devilry.

You don't need faith when you can have Consciousness. Faith is fool's gold. Consciousness is actual gold.

@TruthFreedom You are not doing the work. You are engaged in belief, guessing, and fantasy. This work is about what literally occurs in direct experience. What believes your ego invents are irrelevant.

It's way worse than that. Those things are all peanuts. The main thing is that they are couping the US government. Everything else is a distraction.

Don't guess. Sit down and observe what meaning is, how it is created. This work is not about guessing about how things are, it is about sitting down and looking at what is actually going on. It's like science. Do the science of meaning. Go outside, pick up a rock, and ask yourself, What does this rock mean? And look at it. There is your answer.

It is important not to create a shadow out of selfishness. Selfishness absolutely needs to exist, which is why it exists. Without selfishness you could not be alive. Yes, turning selfishness into a "bad" is a trap. Again, the point of awakening is to realize that nothing bad has ever existed, including of course selfishness, which is just what is meant by evil. If you think selfishness is bad then that's equlivalent to saying that evil exists. Which of course is wrong. But also notice the trick here: when someone behaves very selfishly towards you, you will not be able to stop yourself from calling it bad. So not demonizing selfishness is very, very advanced stuff. Most humans are nowhere close to that. Even spiritual humans will fail at it. A better way to put it is that excessive selfishness is problematic and self-defeating while a healthy level of selfishness is appropriate and even necessary.

The point is to see that you are creating those things. Meaning exists as something your mind creates. Otherwise it doesn't. It's like you are given a canvas with an elephant drawn on it and told that the elephant only exists because someone drew it. Otherwise there is no elephant. And you reply, "But elephants aren't real then? Elephants are a hoax?! Why would you want a life without elephants?"

That's good. At least you are thinking. It's a good place to start. You won't ever grasp the complexity of every thing, however you can grasp the big picture, the ultimate nature of reality. "Tiny monkey brain" is a construction. You are neither a monkey nor a brain nor tiny. Those are assumptions and illusions which you can break through. Lots of assumptions here. You assume bats and others exist. You assume you are a human. You assume that bias cannot be overcome. Imagine an even higher level of transcendence beyond human experience and perception. I did it for you in the video. Relativity is a deep aspect of reality, so you don't need to deconstruct it, you just need to contemplate and properly understand it, rather than abusing it. All the finite things have one singular source. By becoming conscious of that source you will understand the essence of all finite things. You can understand what a cat is without needing to see every cat in the world. Studying a handful of cats is sufficient to understand catness. So it's not as hard as you make it seem. Just realize that reality has some ultimate over-arching structure which is not relative, even though within that structure you can have endless points of view. Reality is a dream imagined by an infinite mind. This is not relative. But the content inside those dreams is relative. Don't get stuck in the content within the dream. You are missing consciousness of that ultimate structure which is not dream-specific.

No

Let's fork you in the foot and find out.

Time to start sunbathing our buttholes like the trees we are

Feelings are more primitive. Emotions are feelings + conceptual content like thoughts and images. If I stab you in the foot with a fork, that's a feeling. If you hate me for it, that's an emotion.

Yes, color can range that much. Both those look good. They should smell similar.

You have to feel before you can evolve eyes, like you need to crawl before you can walk.

I didn't say they have emotions. But emotions are just a more advanced form of feeling.

@Clarence 20mg is very low for DPT. You'll need quite a lot more for a serious trip. Welcome.

Note that in the evolution of living things, feeling was the first sense to evolve. Feeling is more primordial than vision, smell, hearing, taste. Cellular organisms can feel before than can see. In fact, all the other sense organs evolved out of feeling receptors. Your eyes literally "feel" photons. Your tongue "feels" food molecules. That shows you how fundamental feeling is to survival. And why emotions override rationality and logic. If you felt bad enough you would not be able to do anything: walk, talk, smile, eat, make money, socialize, and even think. At some point you will feel so bad that your only option will be death.
