Osaid

Perhaps you are avoiding some work in your life and expecting some outside force to take care of it. I say this because you were scared of the snake and expected the owl to take care of it. Paying attention to the emotions you feel helps.

If it's causing you suffering that's an obvious trait of the ego. Become more observant in seeing its mind games. It seems to me your ego has hijacked your shroom experience and contorted it into some solipsistic story

To answer the title, I don't think so. Even with enlightenment I don't think you are immune to addictions and the ego still has its place. It's just that you more accurately perceive the ego's existence and place in your reality now. I am not sure how the whole LOC system works, but being addicted to something probably lowers your consciousness to some degree. You're basically asking is it possible to regress into egoic habits even after enlightenment, and I would say yes.

A lab testing COVID-19 is 13km away from the market it apparently started at. And we know China likes to hide things. They probably accidentally let it loose and are trying to cover it up or something.

Research the hell out of every point and see whats correct If someone is arguing one thing, look into it to see if it is valid. If someone is arguing something else then look into that. You could perhaps look at someone's argument and relate it to what has previously happened in history. Chances are there have been many similar problems or situations in the past.

Ketosis is impossible if you're eating any amount of sugar whatsoever? Come on, that's easily debunkable Ketone levels are something you can actually measure, it's not that people just pretend to be in ketosis. We can run on both glucose and fat, not just glucose. And I don't see why sugar from plants is better than other types of sugar, it all ends up as glucose. Plants actually gather heavy metals and toxins from the environment through photosynthesis, which is why our bodies have processes like ketosis and sweating which allow us to purge such things. It actually is possible to survive without any carb intake at all, look at gluconeogenesis. It is true that you need some amount of glucose, but gluconeogenesis takes care of that. Your body will actually turn the fat and protein into glucose internally. He had no negatives for intermittent fasting, he just criticized people who use caffeine to boost themselves during it which I agree is a bad thing. Drinking caffeine is not inherent to intermittent fasting. Also, of course fat people can starve to death, vitamins and nutrition are still a thing. You're gonna get malnourished if you only rely just on fat, or glucose for that matter. A lot of the arguments seem strawman to me, which makes it suspicious. Who knows, celery juice might be a good thing but I wouldn't trust him too much.

There is something very interesting about the different forms of life, from a plant to a fly to a full human. I feel like there are some valuable hints to life you can find in all the organisms. I remember seeing a fly and thinking why did God create something so fragile and meaningless, and then I realized how relative my notion of meaning was.

wim hof breathing is great

intermittent fasting

The character in an RPG does not know they were designed by themself

Same with me

Have you ever had the experience of being unaware? Brains are found within awareness

Sea slugs

Yeah for real, they gotta be. Especially in FMAB, its straight up non-duality with a character called God/Truth saying that it is everyone and everything

memory = a thought about something you experienced

You answered it for yourself

@Florian Survival mechanism, you get angry or scared and try to kill or injure what alarmed you because they are a potential threat. Boxing may be different in the sense that you are not only protecting your physical body but also a virtual identity of being good at boxing. It is just some sort of ego trying to survive basically.

I was surprised to see how well this show holds up even today, saw a few clips of it again and got hooked. Uncle Iroh is probably my favorite character. Nice breakdown of the show.

I think anything that comes into awareness can be considered real. You can call it relative or absolute but it is still something that is being experienced within reality. But of course this just comes down to however you want to define "real".

Yes very true

I believe it is your higher self, AKA pure awareness

It is indeed very hard. Police can get guns pulled on them right as they walk up to someone's car window, so they always have to be on guard. If someone tries to reach for your gun that's a life and death situation right there.

haha for real

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, an anime

That is true, but then you could say that your level of consciousness is limited by form and so you act accordingly. It is still in accordance with level of consciousness.
