So I've played around with it quite a bit over the past few years. My 2 cents: I've been using sugar as a nootropic for mental performance for a while now. It's jet fuel for the brain/body on an empty stomach or if you haven't eaten in a few hours as your brain mostly runs on glucose (or ketones if fasting/keto). I do it before important calls to stay extra sharp or before going out dancing / socializing . I literally have some candy in my pocket sometimes for repleting energy, just get smth that isn't junk. Having actual food when I'm out or dancing or about to have a call just messes with my performance and makes me sleepy sometimes. Apparently there's a golden ratio of how much glucose your body can absorb during a given period, which does seem to be true based on my personal experiments. Something like 50 grams per hour, or about 25 grams per 30 minutes ( note , if I just lifted weights this ceiling is way bigger ). If I go above that I get bad crashes like headaches, moodiness, etc and hit diminishing returns and actually the benefit goes away, just like too much coffee f*cks you up instead of giving you that nice high. ( I face the same problem if I take more than a 1/4th of modafinil or armodafinil ) Also, if I've been sedentary for weeks , haven't moved my body, haven't lifted weights or run then even a little sugar can make me feel tired and crash pretty quickly. But if I take care of my body by exercising properly, I can have as much dessert as I want. Basically you deplete your glycogen stores, so your muscle "sugar pockets" are happy to take that sweet goodness in rather than letting it spike blood sugar. BUT! SUGAR / CARBS desserts ONLY ! Mixing it with fats can be a knock out bomb. One thing the vid touches on that's worth noting: most "sugar" problems come from sugar COMBINED with fat i.e donuts, chocolate, ice cream, etc. Pure sugar by itself behaves differently in your body than when it's mixed with tons of fat. Way more problematic for insulin response and fat storage Table sugar is 50% glucose, 50% fructose. Fructose has to be processed by the liver. Dextrose is pure glucose, which can be used by your muscles and brain directly (hence the jet fuel analogy) without requiring liver metabolism first ( which is an extra step and is what the mainstream tends to demonize) Also remember that everyone is unique. Different genetics and health factors can mean highly different responses. Someone with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome would need a completely different approach. SO yeah bush your damn teeth because cavities and gum inflammation caused by sugar are real. Especially before bed.

Bro wanted to go for the forbidden double dipping 💀

No nut November here we goo 👇👇

Any idea on how do you plan to screen who's able to attend? That's a must IMO. I haven't noticed if you've already talked about this.

Bonus context : Sora 2 : I read this commentand it resonated with me : " What OpenAI is doing is no less than people who become prostitutes to survive. This indicates that OpenAI is in serious trouble to survive, so it has chosen the path of prostitution. " Thoughts?

@AION went on the Aubrey Markus redemption arc 🙄😂

Just to chip in my 2 cents, I went to a Madison free tour in Barcelona 2019 and there was basically no pitching besides him and a few of his assistants quietly waiting in the back of the room after the speech as they encouraged us to network. Most likely there were some infiltrated assistants doing some " sneaky sales encouragement's " within the public but I can't be sure, that's what my intuition is telling me. I almost destroyed their camara setup by sliding back on my char without looking lol oops That being said the topic of the speech was pretty black pill, just talking about how modern men have very low chances of success in dating because the previous generation has spoiled women

Core characteristics of ambush predators: Camouflage: Ability to blend into the environment to avoid detection by prey. Stealth: Minimal movement and silent approach to remain unnoticed. Patience: Willingness to wait for extended periods until prey comes within striking distance. Sudden Attack: Rapid and explosive movement to capture prey quickly. Precision: Accurate and well-timed strikes to ensure successful capture. From Leo's Blog: The irony would be if the camaraman got snatched by another croc for walking up to the place where the baboon just got snatched.

“Here in my jail cell”

@Basman Great find!

Sorry to hear, back pain sucks. Doing exercises for spine mobility can work. I had a shoulder impingement that was fixed by a chiropractor cracking my neck. Don't give up! There must be a solution, at least partial. Just don't make it worse and take care of yourself

Does non existance exist as non existance therefore it doesn't exist? 🤔

Oh nooo

I don't know what kind of black magic AI you used to source all of this but great job!

Coming Home is a beautiful channel that recompiles NDE anecdotes. This guy is particularly articulate:

What's the astral body / subdtle body / sensation body? Imagine for a moment that the the mind, and the body and brain are separate entities. The subtle body is the one you shift into during astral projection. Here’s one way to picture it: Look at your hand. Clench it. You can see it move, and you can feel it, right? Now imagine your hand is completely numb -- no sensation at all -- but you can still clench it. That’s the physical body moving without sensations. Next, imagine the opposite: you can feel the sensation of clenching, but your hand isn’t moving at all. That’s the sensation body -- or subtle body -- without physical movement. Day-to-day experience is a mix of both: physical movement plus the sensation of it. During an out-of-body experience, your physical body stays still, but you isolate the “sensation body” -- your subtle body, and you " pour your consciousness" into that one until you " become it"

I have decided to start documenting my process of experimenting with out-of-body experiences (OBEs). I’m not sure if I have a predisposition for this, but it just seems to make sense for me. I have no specific expectations or goals besides experimentation and curiosity. I might consider it a distraction from building a solid foundation for my life, but on the other hand, it’s an intriguing and unconventional activity to explore during sleep time, as long as it doesn’t interfere with getting enough rest. My first OBE was described in this old thread: I was inspired by the video below, recently being recommended in my feed after listening to that Anika/Tristan Interview on New Thinking allowed. In my opinion, these seminar videos could be much shorter; there is a lot of repetition. However, I must say that the guidelines provided are effective. I learned things I wasn’t clear on before. Literally an hour after watching this video, I had an OBE that same night, just after the first cycle of REM sleep. I didn’t realize I could enter " the phase " immediately upon waking. I had always tried to do so as I was falling asleep, which seems to be the more challenging “direct method.” From my experience, you can enter "the phase" in three ways: Catch yourself as you’re falling asleep and use subtle body separation techniques (direct method) such as rolling out, levitating, falling through the floor, or doing a crunch. Use separation techniques as soon as you wake up (easier, indirect method). Realize you’re dreaming mid-dream, gain control, and achieve your specific goals for the session. Techniques like reality checks, such as trying to poke through the palm of your hand with your finger, can help you realize you’re dreaming and gain control of the dream. The video below explains that you have about one minute to cycle through various techniques before the window fades, and you’ll have to wait for your next REM sleep cycle. OBE Report 07/09/24 My consciousness wakes up shortly after falling asleep ( 90 min of sleep ). I don't move a single muscle and realize it’s the moment to try body separation techniques. The first technique, rolling out to the side, works immediately. I had to push with my intent a little, reinforcing the thought of "yes, I want this to happen." I feel the usual turbulences, shaking, vibrations, and buzzing noise. I immediately stand up. My motor skills are uncoordinated, and I stumble a lot. Everything is pitch black; my physical sensations have transferred to my subtle body, but my sight hasn’t. I touch the walls as I stumble towards my bathroom mirror (the first mandatory goal for newbies once in the phase). I touch the mirror frame. It’s cold, and it’s still pitch black. I stumble towards my desk to complete my second task (eating something and tasting it). I didn’t have food prepared at that moment, so I just grabbed my zeolite nanoparticle spray and did a couple of sprays into my mouth. Of course, it didn’t taste like anything, but I did feel the moisture and spray noise. I now have a tube of honey at my desk for the next try. I didn't have a third goal, I didn't see anything and I lost consciousness and woke up IRL. Funny thing is, I had woken up in my astral body 180º opposite on the head-to-toe axis, which is how I usually lie in bed. This time, I was reversed but still woke up in the default way. Lessons Learned: Clumsiness, sluggishness, and poor motor skills are signs of a bad separation technique. Only partial separation occurred. I’m not sure how much of this is within my control or if it’s sometimes unavoidable. Wake up the vision: I need to imagine my hands very close to my eyes, make rubbing or clapping noises, and feel them right there while imagining them into existence. If the vision wakes up but is blurry, I should scrutinize and focus on the details of my surroundings to deepen and sharpen the phase. Have a third goal after the mirror and getting food. For now, let’s just say I want to fly in my garden or access some subconscious information as suggested in the video.

haha, I stumbled upon this paragraph on Bashar's website. Funny coincidence. Haven't had any OBE's since I moved to Budapest a few months ago. I feel it has to do something with stess and my lack of nutritious nutrition. I want to pick up Kriya yoga and I think I heard it being recommended by some Astral projection practitioners. Aparently it helps you be more in control of your subdle body which would be exciting.
