I want to make these canapes for my next catering event. That will be awesome. I love these. Saw these at a restaurant today. These are the fruit skewer canapes This one is the vegetable one. I like the cabbage idea. I want to try it. I'm hooked.

Finally got a good doctor for a diagnosis for her. Hopefully this time everything will turn out right

What a strange coincidence. And this is not the first time I am experiencing a coincidence with Andrew. It always happens. He has a bad day. And usually I have a bad day on the same day

Something weird is going on in my life right now. I called Andrew 10 mins ago and he tells me that he can't find his medication.. This is getting weird seriously. I lose my medication and he loses it at the same exact time. Can't wrap my head around this Feeling creeped out. Lately things aren't going well in Andrew's life either I hope everything works out at the end of the day. Today is like a miserable day.

If @Anna1 doesn't want to do psychedelics it's totally her choice and good for her, it in no way means her life is wasted. Her life is good as long as she lives it on her terms. Understand that psychedelics is not applicable to every or all people. Only those who are comfortable with it can do it.

That person threw away my medication. What the hell. It's been a bad day.

Getting a feeling of distress.

Perthonality goes deeper than the ego and is connected to the upbringing, cultural and genetic factors. Your perthonality emerges through it. It alters how you think, feel, react, respond and handle situations. The nature of the ego is deeply attached to the perthonality of the person. So if someone is egotistical, it's their perthonality, they're going to have a very fragile ego. So it's actually the reverse. The ego gets impacted by the perthonality rather than the other way around. Some factors that influence perthonality are genetic. So if a parent is someone who is addicted to alcohol, known to be sociopathic and having anger issues or mental illnesses, these are going to reflect fully or partially even in the kid. However with knowledge, therapy and other development tools it's always possible to alter the perthonality and make changes to help the person become pleasant

I'm trying to connect the dots I think that depression, bi-polar and autism are all correlated and somehow negativity and narcissism, controlling behavior and ocd and the need to create drama and the need to provoke, bully and the need to blow things out of proportion and inflict pain to the point of sadism and the need to have stimulation at the expense of destructive behavior or destructive consequences is a terrible vicious mixture which is cyclical and a huge part of the personality disorders that create this toxic mixture.

Just trying to process things

The asters shake from stem to flower waiting for the monarchs to alight. Every butterfly knows that the end is different from the beginning and that it is always a part of a longer story, in which we are always transformed. When it's time to fly, you know how, just the way you knew how to breathe, just the way the air knew to find its way into your lungs, the way the geese know when to depart, the way their wings know how to speak to the wind, a partnership of feather and glide, lifting into the blue dream.

Draw out the pink card......

Pull a pink card from the box. What does it symbolize. To me it symbolizes freedom. Being on your own and enjoying your own freedom. Creating your own space of comfort

Creative or life affirming

Great points. I felt the same way when I was in North America. Can relate.

So far so good. Sandra thanks for making my day so wonderful. Friends like you is what I need.

You can't jack up meditation. It needs patience. Don't be impatient while sitting Bring your body and mind into freeze mode and relax completely like nothing matters. Your need to get a quickie result can ruin the sitting. With practice you get used to being patient. Obviously it's hard in the beginning because your ego and mindset will resist. You might even feel like you are doing something silly. But with time you will develop your unique way of meditating suiting your time and needs.

This was an excellent resource on neuroplasticity

You're not getting my point. Nobody can get rid of their cultural identity especially in a world of racism because you're constantly reminded that you are Indian or you are Chinese wherever you go. That's why political correctness is important because that's the only thing that helps dissolve identities. This can only be achieved if we stop creating barriers by using cultural identity. Look at the identity politics in America. It's all about racial identity. Why is race such a heated controversial topic in America if racial identity never mattered? If cultural identity never mattered this thread wouldn't have been created in the first place.. The only way to let go is when the whole world is ready to let go and call each other humans rather than Indians Chinese Americans etc etc etc. That won't be happening anytime soon. I can't live in LaLa land. I have to be realistic. So from a realistic perspective, I can't think that if someone said Indian, that's its not a reference to my cultural identity.

@Raphael I'm not attached. It's your perspective. I have an Indian passport. Should I let go of that too?

You did not say local people in India and or some people. You said it in a way which implied all people of India I can also say all Americans are racist. But that will be stereotyping. Because only some are, not all. So my point is valid that it's stereotyping when you simply use the word "Indians" without clarifying on it. Look at your original message on Indians and people from the Middle East. That's clearly stereotyping.

There is a thinly veiled attack on Indians on this thread. It's racist. When it's racist it needs to be called out. That's all I did.. In your eyes it's victim playing. I can't help that. To all others on the thread, I made my point clear. I'm not responding to anyone quoting me in this thread. You guys can continue with your verbal diarrhea.
