FYI, you cannot expand your consciousness because consciousness is already expanded. What you can expand, however, is your awareness. Why bother keep eating, people die every day from different types of degenerative diseases caused by poisonous foods sold in grocery stores and supermarkets. I am not most people. I understand your concern, but I'm not saying I have a problem with drinking or I binge drink everyday or I'm an alcoholic, all I said was I drink wine in response to the original post about bud light beer. That's all. And if you were following the thread you will notice all the other healthy things I do in addition to my drinking wine. What gets me is if I probably said I ate white rice no one would probably have said anything about the arsenic in rice or how toxic it is or if I said I used plug in air fresheners that causes COPD no one would care. I could keep this list going for miles on end like cheez.its, microwave popcorn, margarine, sodas, deli meats, artificial sweeteners, Doritos, conventional ice-creme (which has wood pulp), macaroni, most breakfast cereals, even quaker oats oat meal grown with round-up weed killer, conventional lotions, shaving cream, perfumes, which contain hormone disruptors...I mean I could keep going on...just about everything on the market. So if you are drinking lots of alcohol and eating all this crap and putting all kinds of poisons in your body, then yes, you will overload the liver But I do not touch any of the stuff I mentioned above and so much more conventional bull shit, maybe 20% of conventional shit. Not to mention my supplementing with blackseed oil, oil of oregano, milk thistle(which is a liver detoxifier),, rhodiola, reishi mushroom, eating from the fresh aloe Vera, ginger, tumeric, lemons, berries, lots of greens, and many more tinctures. I don't use cleaning products..I clean my home with lemon juice,.baking soda and vinegar...I don't use deodorants I use baking soda or lemons or essential oils.or diamatecous earth...I could write a book about my eating habits and unconventional healthy traits. So my drinking red wine is not a problem for me. In my whole 55+yrs of living, I have not come across anybody that does half the healthy shit I do. I stay away from fast food restaurants but I do eat an occasional pizza. Don't eat red meat, not for health reasons I just don't like it. I read a lot of health magazines and watch a lot health-bases YT channels. So I'm well informed about the topic...it's a passion of mine. So, my dear, don't be too concerned about my drinking red wine and smoking natural -based cigarettes. I appreciate the concern. Let's go advocate and protest against the food industry for putting poisons on our shelves that's killing thousands of people each year and aiding in the decline of mental health in our society....then again, let's not protest against...let's stand for something...or NOTHING.

You would think I was on here trying to promote heroin, or ecstasy or crack or some hard drug that people are overdosing on everyday. I've never done drugs or taken any pills but half of America is under seige with an opioid epidemic but I'm getting all this shit about drinking red wine and a shot of liquor from time to time. It's pretty funny, actually. All the projections.

I use Dr. Bronners' toothpastes. You can check out Truvani's also,.a.k.a Food Babe. These are just personal things I do. I stay away from conventional toothpastes and alcohol-based mouthwash like listerine. I grind up dried egg shells into a very fine powder and add to my toothpaste along with unrefined coconut oil. Egg shells are made up of the same components as your teeth. It strengthens teeth. I use tumeric, baking soda, strawberries, coconut oil, basil leaves to whiten depending on what i have on hand. Mouthwash I use whatever I have on hand e.g. cloves, hydrogen peroxide, Himalayan salt gargle, Sometimes I oil pull with coconut oil, different essential oils (I like orange, Clove peppermint. I haven't been to a dentist, nor have had a toothache in over 20yrs. Personally, I do not trust fluoride. I am not making any claims, just sharing what I use. Neem toothpaste is also good. Variety of Green smoothies will help to keep your teeth healthy and strong also.

It's OK. There are people here reading comments and gaining knowledge even if they're not posting. You never know whose lives you can inspire or change by sharing your knowledge. Sometimes it takes a while for something to click and register and it's not just the moderators job but all of us play a part.

If you really, really know what consciousness is, you would know that consciousness is everything; so, therefore, it is also alcohol. You're speaking like a Christian who observes the 10 commandments. The only sin is to not acknowledge or to deny yourself as God.

@Danioover9000thank you for your insight and input, it was well received.

This will be the last thing I'll say to you regarding this topic and it's that when you walk through your front door you're taking a risk. Life is about risk taking. I would, but I won't bother to ask about your diet and health practices on a daily basis. Im sure I'd find some risk-taking there. Most you'd probably not be aware of. It.seems like you have a phobia in regards to alcohol and probably some bad experience with it...maybe you or a family member which would be understandable for your concerns. However, I would advise you to let people be and do as they please unless asked for advice on a particular subject regarding what they do with their life and how they want to live it I try not to give advice unless asked, and if I do, and I sense it's not welcomed, I let them be. The fact you had 10 fillings removed says something about your past or current eating habits. No judgement, just an observation. I can also tell you have a hard time opening your mind and your way of thinking is black and white . Learn how to think and not what to think so you can broaden your perspective on Reality. Don't take my comment as a defense or an attack as I mean no harm. I'm just stating my opinion; and, in the end, all this is harmeless conversation and respectfully done on both sides.

When writing anything of value and of a higher level, please don't apologize for how long it is. If someone prefers to go read about someone else's sex life or whose smoking or not let them do that. I'd rather read a lengthy post of value than a bunch of mumbo jumbo nonsense, that even myself might engage in.

Lol

Marvelous

Direct experience is more proof than any study, plus some of these studies are biased dependeing on whose funding them. My approach to life is not so much on what you do is how you do it and/or how frequently depending on what it is. I dont drink anything except wine or maybe a shot or two of some liquor as long as its pure. No mixed drinks, no soda no diaquaris, margaritas, sex on the beach long island etcetc and hard is just on the rocks /lemon/lime. I remember when i would take my own fresh squeezed cucumber juice to the bar for a chaser. I dont smoke anything but (wont say the brand here) but its an all natural cig with no additives. Not trying to explain my vices away just letting you know there are tricks and trades to things in life to help you prolong certain things. Im not a health nut but i eat healthier than most if not all people around me...and people are constantly asking me for advice when it comes to nutrition...I've had somebody next to me drinking diet Pepsi telling me smoking is bad for you...I don't drink anything on the Supermarket shelves except for Kombucha and water or some health food store pure juice. Nothing in the middle isle fancies my palate maybe 10%. I drink green smoothies, celery juice and start my day with warm lemon water...just giving you a hint of my other habits and the list goes on. Reason for saying all this is to let you understand most people who smoke or drink don't really care about health or do half the shit i do otherwise. And did you also see the study that eating bad food will kill you quicker than smoking. I'm sure the tobacco industry didn't fund that study nor the food industry. I do alot of detoxing that makes up for my bad habits. So, to end here, my healthy habits way surpass my unhealthy ones so I'm not even balanced I'm tipping the scale. My results are proof of this and when I get sick and die some day...I can say I contributed to Consciousness experiencing what it was like to smoke a cigarette and drink some red wine. Maybe if I didn't drink and smoke I wouldn't be so concerned about my eating habits because that's the reason why I adapted to a healthy eating lifestyle and a more holistic approach to living. It's not just the eating it's all around. Girl gotta have some vice..

Ya better recognize

Well, I guess at 55+yrs old...been drinking for 30yrs, smoking natural cigarettes for 30yrs, haven't been to a doctor or dentist in over 20+yrs, nor a brain surgeon, no medication ever, can still articulate and speak very good English, look atleast 20yrs or more younger than my age (Noone guesses my age, they're always off like 20yrs or more), teeth are still white relatively coherent, and can walk 2hrs straight on a treadmill without panting and untop of that what I do for a living requires some drinking so I must probably drink about 3x/week, I work at night late hrs, most of the time and after all that for over 55yrs old I think I deserve me some red wine. My profile pic is only about 2/3yrs old and all I'm wearing is a hair piece and.some eyeliner and a little eye shadow. The only thing I watch is how I eat. Very healthy eater with very little unhealthy eating habits. Unhealthy food will kill you quicker than cigarettes or alcohol. My mental state is pretty good compared to a lot of non-drinkers and my level of awareness is at a level higher than most people I know in real life. So if my drinking red wine is poison then I guess all that I said is poison and I need to go see a doctor so he can really fuck my brain up with those toxic meds he will prescribe to me and mess me up more than the red wine I've been drinking for years now. Don't listen or believe everything you hear because some people can defy the odds. I might eventually damage my brain but it didn't take one drink and 3mths to do it. If you believe it will it will for you.

Lol

???for me...just in case

You probably have a lot of anxiety from the way this sounds. Living in the future instead of being in the present moment and flowing with life. 5yrs ago, if you were to have said the same thing about what you are experiencing in your life right now, you probably would have had anxiety and fears over that too, but you are here not worried about what is happening in your life right now but the future. Life has a way of working itself out and all the negative "what if's" are irrelevant. Think positively about the things you want and forget about the negative "what if's because what you fear you create. The trajectory you are setting here is fear-based and you will only manifest more things to be fearful about. Try to enjoy life and try to not predict so much what it would feel like if such and such doesn't turn out in your favor.

You are everything. God doesn't deserve anything. It is everything.

Reading this was quite a ride. I think I felt every emotion there is to feel by reading it. Infinity cannot be satisfied by finite things; and, since you are Infinite and already are everything, you are here to experience the part of Infinity you would like to experience. Creation is finished and everything exists in potential and can only manifest via an observer. You have called in everything into your world whether you are conscious of it or not. Thats how powerful you are. You are so powerful that you can manifest the wanted and the unwanted just by thought alone and by giving those thoughts attention and intense feeling. It seems like you are resisting those unwanted feelings that you have created for yourself, and in doing that, you are feeding the energy from where they came. Its like you're stretching the rubber band but not letting it go. My feeling is you are searching for a constant blissed-out state, but that is very hard to sustain if you're not grounded in Awareness and "possess" the knowing of who you truly are. You are searching for something that you can never find because you are it. We are here to experience that part of Infinity that we chose to experience in any given moment, and we can change what part of the script we would like to experience by our thoughts, feelings and assumptions. The part about a "perfect partner"....unless you become that perfect partner you will never see it. Once you realize there is nothing to gain, nothing to fix, and that noone or no-thing can ever satisfy you sustainably, you begin to free yourself from expectations of what or how things should be and start to accept what is (believe me, I'm learning to embody this myself, it is not easy) but the first step is awareness and understanding the process and what it truly means to be free. It is not easy being human, many challenges will arise; but once you recognize that you are thinking thoughts that make you feel a certain way, (or entertaining thoughts for that matter), you try to override the mind by only entertaining the ones that make you feel good but don't get attached to that feeling and overtime your thought patterns will change and you will make the mind your servant instead of your master. Feel the unwanted feelings, let them be, consider them clouds passing through. Even the ones that feel good. Don't get attached to them. Don't identify. Understand its the body going through changes. Rest as Awareness. Experience the good and the bad. The mind is perceiving things a certain way because of its subconscious programming and it is limited. Only focus on the things you want. You seem to have an easy way of manifesting, even unwanted things, so you have to be careful of where you are placing your energy and attention. I don't know what your problem is, as you stated you have one to fix but the mind is used to and trained to solve problems so it will go seeking out problems to fix even when there isn't any. (Math class didn't help with this..lol). Try not to feel guilt or shame for the worldly things you partake in, because the guilt or shame becomes more toxic than the event itself. You feel alone because you have mentally distanced yourself from yourself and trying to get that connection back through outwardly things. Be the friend you seek, give yourself the love you desire and you will be rewarded because the Universe is in the business (so-to-speak) of giving and receiving and you cannot receive what you don't give or give what you don't have. P.S. I'm also learning to do these things I'm recommending, so I'm just sharing with you things I'm learning and trying to embody myself and the reason I speak so confidently about this is because I'm recognizing the importance of these things and seeing the difference it has made in my life and mental state. It is a constant learning process but well worth it for freeing the mind and learning to live in a constant state of inward peace. Hope this helps.

Thank you. Source Energy flowing through me.

Interestingly, to me, I think the puzzle fits perfectly. Not that the mind sees the perfection, it can only speculate that from what it knows about the essence of creation. To not see perfection, is to not see the Source as perfect since everything is Source. When the student is ready the teacher will appear is a perfect example of this. Maybe if you look back at your experiences, some of the things you understand now wouldn't have made much sense to you. Its a process, like planting a seed; and if you water it properly, it blossoms into its full potential. Our limited minds are incapable of seeing the full picture because we are a part of the picture. We need a mirror to see our backside but someone else can see it from their angle. Its like you stepping out of ourself to view yourself from a meta level. Most, not all, people stumble upon Spirituality because of suffering and mental pain and most people are just coasting through life believing that when things go "wrong" its just a part of life, which it is, but they don't question why are things happening the way they are. They just accept it as a normal way of being and go to their grave believing it as such. Most of us, tho, meaning Spiritual characters intuitively know there's more to life than whats being shown to the naked eye so we begin the search to find what we believe is missing. Its just a game Source is playing with itself and when its ready to awaken to itself it will.

Got it. See it. Thank you. Now I just have to figure out my signature...lol..the cat was curious

How do you create a signature quote for your profile. Looked everywhere and couldn't find it. Incase I'm naming it incorrectly, I mean the quotes that shows at the bottom of your comments or posts. E.g. Leo's is I am God, You are God, You are Love, You are Leo...or something of the sort can't remember verbatim.. Not sure if this is the right section for this question, either.

Right back at ya.
