Last night I dreamed of mystical and wonderful places. It felt surreal.. Bright colors and beautiful landscapes

It's like this. Many people confuse parboiled rice which I get in my local market with brown rice and sometimes with jasmine rice. Parboiled_rice is a rice which is just processing and washed, dried, heated many times to almost become transparent. The reason for this is to remove the starch from it and therefore it's not as delicious as whole grain rice which is basically brown rice. parboiled rice is a better source of fiber, calcium, potassium and vitamin B-6 than regular white rice White rice is stripped off of its outer bran and middle germ and therefore its less nutritious but addictive because of its starch content. Now brown rice is extremely nutritious because it is just lightly hulled and the hull is removed but the bran and germ are kept intact. The bran is very important because both the germ and the bran is a source of B vitamins, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium but it still contains some starch. So the basic difference is that parboiled rice still retains some of the nutrients despite the heavy processing making it look almost transparent translucent but devoid of starch. This is good for diabetes because in Asia most people are prone to Diabetes because of the starch content of rice So in my grandmother's village they started producing parboiled rice many centuries ago to avoid the risk of diabetes. At least this is the story my mom passed to me. Hope it helped.

Language, interpretation, perspective, context, bias. Congruence Congruence only happens when there is a Synchronicity between the speaker of the language and the interpreter and the listener /

The other thing that I found with the brain is the problem of not only language and or interpretation of it but also that of perspective. Perspective leads to bias. It's like watching the prism. You see it from your angle and let's say it appears blue. From another angle or perspective it appears red. You can't say for sure if a perspective is right or wrong. But the perspective is right with regard to the context it has born from.

Language has so many interpretations Its so important to understand the context of language itself. For example I want this to happen We want this to happen. See the difference? One word is replaced and the context of the whole sentence changes.

Yep.

A joker asked once why is there no affinity The king replied That's because a dome asks a question and a nome answers it. Kant compares his metaphysical studies to those of Copernicus, who revolutionized the study of astronomy by accounting for the position of the observer of the celestial bodies. Analogously, Kant aims to revolutionize metaphysics by accounting for the structure of the understanding that apprehends nature. According to Kant, the sensible world has certain features that can be known a priori, not because these are features of the objects in themselves, but, rather, because they are features of human understanding. We can know a priori that all objects will exist in space and time because these are the forms of our intuition; we could not even conceive an object that exists without these forms. Similarly, all experience is structured by the categories of the understanding, such as substance and causality. On the Kantian view, human understanding becomes the legislator of nature because the “laws of nature” that we perceive in the world are put there by our understanding.

Par boiled rice is absolutely healthy although I eat white rice

I'm a bit skeptical and frankly a bit scared.

Thank you so much.. I'll try magnesium supplements now.

me too Love it

@Elham yea borage tea helped me a lot. Also I'd suggest chamomile tea. It helps to relax. I also use passion flower.

Golden. True that ✌️

They make money of it. Money out of keeping someone emotionally stunted.

Oh, that reeks of desperation. My ex did that. Deluge of texts to beg me. I left him. It scared the shit outta me. Nothing worse in a relationship more than manipulation and bullying/gaslighting guised as love.. You might want to believe that begging appears as selfless and wanting but if you really want to look deeply at it then ask yourself "why am I doing this? Am I doing this for myself or for her really? Why do I want her when she doesn't want me?" you'll begin to realize that the answer to that question is "you", you don't do it for her, you do it for you and in the same breath you invalidate her needs or disrespect her desires or feelings, pressuring your needs/wants on top of hers. This is no different than forcing her to be with you, used in a careful sweet manner. But it's same thing in different ways, same passive aggressive behavior, only the vehicle is different. Because if you really cared for her needs, you'll value her decision instead of placing blame. So you need to confront the shadow within you that causes you to think it's justifiable to coax her with texts and demand a submission from her against her will. Nothing more selfish than that. When you will realize this in your shadow work you will let her go and find peace and learn that real love originates from care and selflessness. Let go of the need to attach blame when your needs are not met. They have their space, their freedom, their life and to respect it is to respect their trust they have in you..

Yay. . It happened once. So true. What we think is not always how things really are. Life lies in letting your mind be free to explore everything and that's the way to grow.

My favorite trick is to learn and take in the good from each teacher and leave out that which doesn't suit my purpose. And then move on to the next Now howzattt

Good for you.

Orange is the new black

I can't even stress enough how much of a wonderful contributor you are and the level of maturity you show is something I can only imagine to attain. If there is one person I learned the most from throughout my time on the forum then it has to be you. Cheers mate.

@Mikael89 thank you.

I read your post. I didn't find that possible way. Can you be a little more detailed and explain what that possible way to transcend is? The post appeared a bit vague to me like beating around the bush. So a little more clarity might help..

5 years is bit of a stretch. I was thinking 2 months. When she sees that (in this context when Mikael89 said he wants to play hard to get or be careful with the amount of attention he gives) she is not going to appreciate him not giving his 100% to it. I don't think it's easy to move on when you have put so much effort into getting a relationship in the first place. What if that person is a real good catch. Yes you can always find other people. But if you are emotionally invested then it's easier said than done. Personally for me a man means much more than a vanilla ice cream or a shirt. He is a human being with feelings and I wouldn't want to play with his feelings or objectify him in any way. He is not a vibrator with a heartbeat. I believe in loyalty and trust and making things work. Maybe my value structure is different. I think if I play cheap I'll get cheap. That's how karma works. I don't play cheap. Everyone has their own value structures. They find relationships that serve them through the lens of their value structures. I wouldn't want to be with a man who can drop me on a whim, and I wouldn't want to be with a man who finds it cute if a woman plays games because I'm not into it. To each his own.

Both men and women get rejected. Your life should not revolve around her. It's upto you to make that choice. In fact the more you show to a woman that your life revolves around her, she finds it more repulsive. You don't have to indefinitely chase her. You have to chase many. And if they don't respond you have to give up since it's a waste of energy and time. If a woman is interested of course she will respond. You need to be patient.. A woman is not obligated to submit yo your request because there may be many men chasing her at the same time. It's upto her to decide who she wants to be with. That's not selfishness. Blackpill and red pill are just ideologies to fit a theory or behavior. You don't have to stick to them. You have to be authentic. Pilling is just trying to box yourself into a category. In real life we are a mixture of many tendencies.

I think meditation is a relieving activity. Maybe longer hours can make it stressful. Interesting question
