  1. If you were seriously hooked like 7-10 days, after a couple weeks energy becomes much more stable, as long as your diet and sleep are in check stc
  2. @Hello from Russia Gotta remember these scriptures are often poorly translated, so it's hard to say what it truly meant. Precisely, every moment is simply a spontaneous joy, and life becomes a celebration!
  3. Awesome share man, not something I feel called to do right now, but I'm sure many will benefit hopefully. But, yeah, it takes serious research if anyone does actually want to do this. It can be dangerous. Also, don't expect to be doing any serious exercise or manual labor at all, hence why I would never do it long term, maybe a week-long water fast.
  4. @VeganAwake Sorry I could never support something that is promoting GMO food that will literally destroy humans bodies, long term, you only have to dig a little deeper to see who's investing in things like Beyond Burgers (nutritional value about as good as Dog Food) and why the GMO lab meat is being pushed. I HATE animal slaughter, however, simply doing something like this on a wide scale, will leave 100,000s of people without a job & will, of course, benefit the billionaires, there's a much better, organic way of doing things like this. That's put me of Dr Gregor a little bit then, considering he classes himself as Plant-Based and not Vegan, I'm surprised he would support such a terrible idea for human health. Keep it natural!
  5. @Alextvvv Yeah do it slowly if needbe, I made a LOT of mistakes and have only really gotten healthy the last year, and I’ve been at it for 5 years. Lots of fake meats and shitty foods (bread, white pasta, peanut butter etc) for far too long, whole foods plant based the only way to go if you wanna be healthy on a vegan diet, highly recommend people like Medical Medium & Dr Gregor, and a few others! oh and if you’re into bodybuilding/ fitness Brian Turner & Simnett Nutrition are great!
  6. @VeganAwake This shit scares me, as GMO as it gets, I already avoid fake meats due to how unhealthy they are, I imagine tbis is even worse. From what I’ve seen it has horrific nutritional value, don’t know what’s so bad about a medical medium style plant based diet that will actually improve your health lmao, people always gotta over complicate shit ?
  7. Nope self improvement is actually a form of self love, that resistance is just a form of well resistance train to do the work required. Acceptance and improvement are not mutually exclusive at all. I always use the overweight example. You can accept and love your body when you are obese, but it doesn’t mean you won’t take the relative required action to lose weight, get in shape and feel better, because it is actually coming from a place of self-love to improve yourself and feels as amazing and look as amazing as you can. So, accept yourself First where you are at, and stop beating yourself up, then from a place of love And the heart go and improve yourself and your life!
  8. Personally, I see it as an expression of Love more than anything else, I would say once you realize you are these animals, it becomes hard to torture them for food and your own pleasure, especially since it isn't needed for optimum nutrition. (Check out Medical Medium) The best teachers of our time were all vegetarian- Rupert Spira, Francis Lucille and of course Ramana Maharshi. I feel people like to distance themselves from things like this, but eventually you will have to face it. I went Vegan 5 years ago for selfish reasons (get rid of Acne) but I will never eat an animal product (intentionally) again, as I don't want to contribute to that industry. At the end of the day, it is up to each person to decide for themselves
  9. Why not just take it? Trust me it's fun, just don't get hooked lol, and test it.
  10. @Meta-Man Lol good luck bro. Someone always makes clear whether they simply have an intellectual understanding of these teachings, or have actually awakened themselves by how they act, and not what they say. Similar to that guy who kept exploding at people the other day. All people really need, is a good old fashioned awakening(s) and a few years of Integration, then all will be well
  11. @Hello from Russia it’s on the medical medium website, I bought a juicer for it as cba with the hassle of a blender in this case. get a juicer and you juice like 16oz worth, pour it through a siv into a glass. Has to be on an empty stomach and don’t consume anything before or after for at least 15-30 mins There’s a few more bits as part of the cleanse, probs will make a thread, as I never realised how many people are unhealthy (myself included)
  12. If you wanna detox check out Medical Mediums Heavy metal detox smoothie Combine that with 16oz Celery Juice every morning & no “radical fats” (basically any fat) before 12pm and you’ll detox heavily! oh and 16-32oz of Lemon infused water upon waking, 30 mins before the celery juice. Im on day 4 of this minus the smoothie and feel amazing
  13. @Hello from Russia Of course, if you design your life that way. It doesn't mean there won't be 'hard' times, such as when things don't go how you'd like, a breakup, death of a loved one, embarrassing moments etc but in the spontaneous joy of the Now, total satisfaction is always found, and life simply is a celebration of that- enjoy the show.
  14. @blowfish I usually do a weekly 24 hour fast, but never dry, will look into it @Seraphim He has incredible testimonials! Where are you from? In the UK it only costs me like £2 a day for all the celery, although the juicer was like £60 @mandyjw I strongly recommend him, at the least it’s very eye opening!
  15. @Dand Great response and experiment man. Also agree, it can be good or bad, I don’t see much wrong with using it sporadically from time to time, even if it just is with friends for a laugh.
  16. I'm in the UK and use like 1 and a bit bags of Celery atm, which is like £1-2 here, but that's not Organic, so I wash it heavily before use,and then drain through a Siv before drinking, strangely I actually really like the taste. Check out the Medical Medium's books on Amazon, crazy story, a crazy amount of testimonials as well.
  17. There's still plenty if you look around, and more emerging. My own teacher, Ananda Devi, is a woman.
  18. Sounds like a great night This reminds me of a Francis Lucille quote regarding alcohol but I’ll use weed instead, as it has the same intention in this case. One can either use weed as a means of celebration and to celebrate life, or as a means to escape and to forget about their sadness for a while. One man goes to get some weed, but his dealer doesn’t have any, so he is sad and annoyed, he goes home in a bad mood and is annoyed for the rest of the day. Another man has a friend visiting who likes smoking Weed, he goes to buy weed and can’t get any, but is still happy either way, as it was only used as a celebration with his friend. His friend arrives, and has brought weed with him, they celebrate their friendship and have some fun by smoking the weed. Do you see the difference, one person is using it as a celebration and is happy either way, the other is reliant on the Weed for his happiness. When you are established in peace and happiness, life simply becomes a celebration, and if you want to smoke weed then so be it! Although I agree there’s a period where it, like most things need to be dropped to focus primarily on the awakening process, which can be tough. But, post awakening, as I said you are stablaised in absolute peace and happiness, and if you want to celebrate occasionally with weed so be it!
  19. Here's the Caffeine Detox challenge, I started on Saturday, and today is the first full work day without Caffeine, it will be interesting! Expecting a 7-14 day lull before much improved and sustained energy. Anyone else looking to join in feel free to comment below and well join in!
  20. @Beginner Mind Oh no, of course not. I just meant in terms of they’ll be a time when you don’t need Non-Dual teachings or books or videos all of the time, that’s all I meant
  21. @Nahm yep, and simply follow what you want, then you get to do what you want to do all the time!
  22. @Nahm You’re really mastering the art of teaching and helping people man, Top 1 responses to people on here and it’s not close! So true about the last part, the obsession with distractions I guess has its place in the hardcore inner seeking phase where we have some focus on realisation of our true nature, but eventually it’s realised that every spontaneous moment is meditation itself, and “distraction” simply doesn’t exist, whether you’re having sex or writing your first Non-Duality book, both are happening here & now, enjoy the ride!
  23. Eventually you won’t need that book once it’s served it’s purpose too
  24. @Oliver Saavedra Yep, can be very tough, I faced this when spending less time with some of my closest friends as I no longer/ hardly smoke weed anymore, and they still do everyday. As much as I loved getting high, it’s damaging for health, impacted my energy the next day and over time I just lost interest in it, sure at weekends of the opportunity arises I’ll happily smoke, but as a regular habit it didn’t fit me, so I just said I’m not going to be smoking as much anymore but of course I still want to be close mates etc, and I still see them when we watch sport together or in other situations, and I’m still close friends, I just accept I won’t be as close as you obviously see them much less. You can still enjoy things when actualising though, let’s say you work in the day, no distractions and you make that clear to people, you can spend time with them at weekends or weeknights doing hobbies and activities you enjoy, it doesn’t always have to be 24/7 work and growth, just find a balance tbat works for you
  25. Here’s what worked with me, I didn’t go the psychedelic route. Normal seeker, low level depression for a few years, dark night of the soul etc, read every book and watched every video, meditated etc Started working with my teacher (Ananda Devi April 2019) Had sessions with her basically once a fortnight, sometimes not as often, each session was around 45-60 minutes talking, going over blockages and issues I had, integration challenges, enneagram stuff etc 15 Minute RASA Transmission at the end of the session, transmissions to be are INCREDIBLY powerful, and honestly just amazing, as Ramana said “silence is the highest teaching” Now- realised the truth of my own being, stabilised in peace and happiness and loving every spontaneous moment that arises (even the shitty ones like ive just been through a break up, there is still a beauty to sadness and the peace does not leave!) Also, if you’re under 25 like me, I highly recommend waiting to do psychedelics, unless you want to risk long term issues, I used to think this was BS when I did MDMA at raves and smoked weed a lot, it’s really not. so, yes, go find a teacher you resonate with and work with them 1-1, there’s nothing quite like the presence of an awakened being, I am forever in debt to how much Ananda helped me, but at the end of the day you are always your own guru
