  1. Reading. Although it seems not related, reading forces you to retaing pieces of information to make sense of sentences. Its one of the best training for high quality speech, because it impacts your speech. Just don't pick a book for kids.
  2. Good quality sleep. Harder to get than it seems, considering that it requires dozens of lifestyle micro-corrections. But our life is as good as our sleep efficiency. Anything you practice will be impacted by your sleep; either it will be catapulted up or dragged down... We invest a third of our lives sleeping, so we better pay attention to it. If you wonder: good sleep, particularly sleep rich in REM, increases your natural ability to see the big picture. You connect dots more easily. Is not your cup of coffe, but sleep.
  3. Its an example of the more you vocalize/externalize something, the more it transforms into reality. So why not do it with the best thing possible? Nowhere else you see people treating their life this way, there exists a really low bar in society in general, which in turn translates into your own habits being misleaded. Let me now your thoughts.
  4. Its really interesting... I can not particularly answer your question though. But life in general changes, in subtle ways, for the better, when you carry yourself as God. Even not being obviously awaken, its a subtle change in attitude that has a significant impact in your life, let alone practical things such as emotional progress you need to make, things you want to build, etc. Idk, its something to consider. Is what we focus on that matters. If you focus on the wrong things then your life gets worse, and we humans are blessed for being able to sort through that.
  5. @Schizophonia Wow, that's wrecked...
  6. Other definitions/explanations: seeing how everything is Love (like, what!?), realizing Truth against your own fears such as "what if my whole life is destroyed?" or similar fears, savoring Truth, realizing pure Imagination, etc.
  7. Having the intuition that you are creating reality, or that it is You. Rarely comes by accident, it depends on how much you want to understand.
  8. @ChrisZoZo Thanks.
  9. Research as much as possible. There is phone addiction, and then there is potential harm of LED light to the circadiam rythm. Two different things.
  10. Right, I too have almost none body fat (BMI of 18.3) and long fasting periods are impossible for me without chicken broth or coconut oil.
  11. Sometimes you need to do stupid things to realize they're stupid Good luck.
  12. I use grey scale and eye comfort mode one and a half hours before bed to avoid blue light so it doesn't supress my melatonin production at late evening when the sun goes down. But I use that time to read books or listen to actualized.org videos.
  13. Good you are learning 👍 cultivating a honest relationship is way more rewarding
  14. I have a similar problem. For me its Music or Biology, particularly related to biochemistry and cells, I picture myself in the field working with collegues that are constantly discovering new features of cells and their interactions with different, unknown chemicals. My bet is to focus on studying Music the most (going to art school) and gather material to read and study biology on my own at a lesser pace in the hopes that I gain enough traction and passion to do it in a few decades in a meaningful way. Because I know if I only study biology my desire to be playing music will be so strong it will make me depressed. My suggestion is keep getting clarity on each field while you prioritize one over the other, this is to gain significant traction into one of them without losing connection to the other and thus feeling behind . What is it that really moves you from each one? Destilate more answers. For example, you go all in into visual arts, but constantly inform yourself of the current state of biology in humanity and where are its limitations, so you can foresee a field to focus on. This will require you to contemplate often.
  15. Have abundant sleep. Easy and powerful. There is a well researched, strong correlation between the stages of dreaming in sleep (REM stage) and creativity, promoting the later in novel ways.
  16. No is not, it is one of the few, if not the only, harmless supplementation. It is found in meat, eggs. I don't even use it every day to get it's benefits. But it is just a single component out of many, and not the most important for sure. Dig into it, you have Google.
  17. I am quite possitive that's not the full story. @jacknine119 As a skinny guy myself, I can tell you you can gain a decent strength level which consequently makes daily, mundane activities very easy going. You want to gain strength, not just weight. Also live up to your genetics. There's a lot of strength to gain before you actually grow bigger. You can supplement with creatine, which is a blessing if you use it. You definetely need to eat good food every day. The body is quite adaptative, so no big secrets here. If a single pull-up is your maximun rep, then start from there.
  18. First of all, I would like to see examples of yellow comunities. Better yet, I am drawn to explore how a tribe ascends trough the spiral, the inner process and more specifically what insights are being recognized so that it shapes the modus operandi. As of how I want to study Spiral Dinamics, I intend to read and constantly evaluate the community/society I am part of. Like an anthropologist would do. It's not the same to sit and watch a landscape, versus sit and watch a landscape after you've readed a book about the ecosystem of the place by someone who studied it.
  19. You could easily be part of Lollapalooza's line up if you add some bass and some drums. Production and sound is flawless, and the voice is great. I say this but have in mind I listen bands like Car Bomb, so it's not my cup of tea.
  20. I want to add, it's a good practice to contemplate why you want to read books, or what are you interested in, so that after years of reading you'll gain a better understanding of exactly that which you contemplated about. Sort of like creating a "Life purpose" but of the topic of reading, or I should say finding your "Reading purpose". Also, a good book speaks for itself.
  21. @Kalki Avatar Most of the time we treat other countries as a generalization of ours, while the differences are completely remarkable. Said that, I find attractive the idea to change countries and spend some years on each, just to fully grasp what every culture is about.
  22. You can learn to play piano every day for half an hour and be a master after 3-4 years. But you fail to see this.
  23. Any knowledge closest to Love you can be certain is ultimate. So "awaken and you will find out" is not foolish at all. Also is very sketchy to expect someone answers everything for you as you want. If you don't think for yourself then you're cooked.
