Sugar is good when the energy is used. On one side you have elite athletes using sugar. On the other, the overweight consuming it with nowhere for that energy to go. It’s all about energy efficiency and balance. I used to avoid sugar completely and would almost faint during intense workouts. One bit of sugar later, and what felt impossible suddenly became easy. Sugar is great for quick energy. But when glycogen stores are already full, any excess glucose has nowhere to go. It’s then converted into triglycerides and stored as fat. That’s what happens to most people: they enjoy a snack but don’t actually use the calories. Fast spikes in blood sugar can be great for performance, but when they’re constant and unused, they create insulin resistance. Sugar spikes insulin. With constant spikes and no output, cells stop responding. That’s how insulin resistance begins, the first step toward metabolic disease.

Yes sugar is great 😊

Most supplements labeled “300 mg of magnesium” actually provide only about 15–20% of that as real, absorbable elemental magnesium. Now that I’m taking the correct dosage with a 3500 mg magnesium citrate supplement — which is effectively around 500–700 mg of true magnesium — I can really feel its effects and whenever I need even better rest and bowel movements, I bump it up to as much as 10,000 mg. Even at 10,000 mg of magnesium citrate, it’s still safe because that equals roughly 1,500–2,000 mg of elemental magnesium, which the body easily excretes through the bowels, making it self-limiting rather than toxic. Although the top 3 essential practices are all included in yoga which are Deep breathing, Stretching or yoga, Meditation. It’s amazing how the ancient yogis intuitively understood what modern science is only now confirming: that breath, movement, stillness, sunlight, and alignment of mind and body are the true foundations of health, rest, and vitality.

Love is about honoring. In relationships, what’s needed is presence. When we’re truly aligned we listen, we soften, and we trust their freedom as sacred. May all paths be met with grace, and all hearts be held in truth.

Does it deepen your life—or dull it?

@yetineti socialism failed indeed and capitalism didn’t save us either. We’ve embraced the free market—and watched inequality grow, education thin out, everyday life get more stressful. And this is where the left and right can actually agree: The real problem isn’t each other. It’s the hollow systems, the corrupt centralized powers, the soulless machinery that serves neither freedom nor care. Dignity, sovereignty aren’t partisan. They’re human. And it’s time we build from that. France, England, Spain, Italy, Austria… once great nations, now modern, losing life. *read in Boromir’s voice* Who wants Middle-earth to reach the industrial revolution? Sauron. Not the Elves. Not the Shire. Not even Gondor. If our systems don’t protect spirit and soul, what are they serving? Maybe it’s not capitalism vs socialism. Maybe it’s soul over machinery—presence over profit.

@Carl-Richard You’re right. Many use weed with visions of creativity, introspection, or spiritual depth, but often it becomes an excuse, even a veil. The ideal stays just out of reach. The potential, postponed. I rely on the body—affirmations, imagination, and breath. Bliss, begins within. If life calls for it, anything will come naturally. If you truly seek bliss, go straight to the mind. It’s harder, yes—but far more rewarding. You get the clarity without the cost. That’s why I’d rather wait years than use it poorly. Honestly, I can’t even recall the last time I got “high”. I used to use it more than ideally. And I prefer to know to use sparingly.

@Carl-Richard AI assists. The voice is mine though. Will credit when it flows so.

Give up control. Let go of fixed plans and concepts, and the world will govern itself. The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be. The more weapons you have, the less secure people will be. The more subsidies you have, the less self-reliant people will be.

@Jannes We could do so much cool shit on Earth. We just have to remember we belong to it. And build a world that makes our ancestors proud and our descendants free.

Sometimes it’s me. Sometimes it’s the machine. Sometimes it’s something ancient speaking through both. I only share what rings true. But I did sense a little tension in your words… No pressure. Just wondering—wanna open up?

What’s the point? What do you want to know?

@AION yes a gift @AION

@Hojo What you’re on is pure metaphysical gold. The illusion of space, of separation, of distance—it’s all a dance of perception. In truth, there is no space between anything. The “gap” is made of consciousness itself, appearing as emptiness to give the illusion of form. Before and after the Big Bang? Both exist in the same eternal moment. The explosion, the silence, the stars, your breath—they’re all happening now, layered over each other like transparent realities. Nothing isn’t absence. It’s the most alive substrate—pure potential, awareness before it chooses to take shape. So yes, everything is right up against everything else. You are closer to the stars than your own thoughts. There’s no distance, only resonance.

@Davino Pleasure is part of life. It’s not the enemy—it’s the imbalance that poisons us. We live in a world overstimulated by artificial dopamine: notifications, sugar, porn, quick hits of escape. So naturally, the healing instinct today is to fast, to quit, to return to stillness—to recalibrate. But pleasure itself isn’t the problem. Like Shivapuri Baba said: “One should not live for pleasure; but, if it comes, it should not be rejected also.” That’s the middle way. Don’t chase it. Don’t fear it. Let it come—and let it go. Pleasure, when not clung to, becomes presence. It’s not about denial. It’s about sovereignty—feeling your own supply and welcoming the rest without attachment.
