  1. Karma is a specific subset of equivalent exchange, or cause and effect. It's a more personal form of it. For example, if you threw a ball in the air and it fell down, you wouldn't call it karma. But, if you threw it up, and it hit your head, then you would call it karma.
  2. The hype comes from the fact that it very easily gets converted into ketones because of how quickly it gets digested. That's the main benefit. Olive oil is fine too, but it doesn't have that benefit.
  3. Yeah, something like that. It reminds me of when people use the word "placebo" to invalidate an experience, as if to ignore the fact that reality can literally be changed just through your imagination. If you saw a synchronicity in a dream, would you call it confirmation bias? If you won the lottery in a dream, what does that actually mean? Would you explain it away by saying "it was just probability"? Can you see that you are imagining probability and overlaying it on top of that experience? What is a coincidence, really? What is the difference between a synchronicity and a coincidence? Maybe "coincidence" and "probability" are simply the mediums through which the universe communicates with you. They can easily co-exist in that way.
  4. When you fast for that long your body will start using body fat as fuel, since you won't even have dietary fat. So, I don't think so. Yes. Simply consume enough dietary fat. Assuming it's not water weight, if you're losing a lot of weight on keto that means your body is using stored fat in your body as fuel because there is not sufficient dietary fat. I personally haven't had much problem keeping weight on keto, even when I've been combining it with intermittent fasting.
  5. If you actually achieve success in the process, was it ever really bullshit?
  6. This happens to me whenever I change my sleep schedule and start sleeping early. It's really weird. It's like my body isn't meant to have a good sleep schedule lol. My body will naturally start waking up too early, after only around 5 hours of sleep.
  7. Good advice. But nonetheless, her take on it is still inaccurate to what is said in the Quran. A Buddhist and a Muslim can both be believers of God, and it is possible for a Muslim to be more adept at worshipping the ego than a Buddhist. The idea of not marrying people of a different religion is simply a misinterpretation of the Quran.
  8. That thinking is probably instilled into her by her parents, not that uncommon actually
  9. Lol fasting 16+ hours is just my lifestyle now. But I still drink water and do the other stuff. Fasting can be a very eye-opening experience.
  10. Perhaps they were recorded at different times
  11. I'm also at this point. All my food cravings are psychological instead of physical now, like it's just a habit. It's pretty cool to witness.
  12. Reminded me of this video lol
  13. I was honestly thinking something similar, the descriptions of chakra reminded me of blood flowing or something, not to mention the apparent physical effects of having "blocked" chakras. You can also notice that each chakra point corresponds to a nerve bundle or major organ. When you stretch or do yoga, you do tend to feel more lighter, happier, and more energetic. This is probably because of the increased blood flow and hormones. It is very evident that your physical state can hinder your consciousness work, someone who eats healthy will have a clearer mind than someone who eats junk food 24/7. Chakras are probably a similar thing.
  14. Could very well be true, but convincing homophobic people who believe otherwise will be extremely hard. They will have to face their devilry and realize their hate against homosexuals was based on a misconception, but no one wants to do that, so they will instead do everything to convince themselves they are right.
  15. "Deep sleep" is how consciousness tricks itself into thinking it can be unconscious
  16. Yes, you are always at the center of the universe, no matter where you go
  17. You're right, the only one who can tell you that you are God is you. Leo expands on this exact idea in this video, I recommend you watch it:

  19. I drink one cup daily. I don't really feel a difference if I remove it from my diet or not, I just drink it for taste. Maybe some people are just less sensitive. I do feel a difference if I am extremely tired or sleep deprived though. When I drank coffee during school, I could definitely feel the boost, but if I'm not tired to begin with I don't notice anything. Maybe you're not getting enough energy from your diet, not sure.
  20. Use google to search for blogs
  21. I think there is actual science to back this up, also true IME Anyways, here is a Vsauce video on the topic:
