    Could you please refer me to a source for me to a source that would help me understand why green energy is still not economical yet?

     

    Essentially the ratio of energy input to energy output from fossil fuels is around 1:100, whereas the same is at best 1:4 for renewables such as wind power. This means that energy needed to pump oil takes 1:100 of the energy it yields. For example for wind mills initial energy input needed for making the mill infrastructure and maintaining it is very high compared to what the mill is expected to produce energy in its lifetime. Also, oil not only produces energy but a lot of chemicals and materials, such as plastics and chemicals for cosmetics etc.. Also Ammonia, that is used to produce nitrogen for fertilizers https://www.cropnutrition.com/resource-library/ammonia/, uses stream reforming to produce hydrogen from methane sourced from natural gas in the middle section of the reaction chain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process, and although green hydrogen could in principal be used, its not as economical as sourcing it from natural gas. So, the worlds food production also relies in fossil fuels. 


  2. Ultimately, also fear is imaginary, though terror can be very convincing and seem to pervade everything. Also, it helps if you try to look at the effects of fear as racing thoughts and a physical sensations in the body objectively. In the day to day life, I don't think it really matters if life is ultimately a dream. Interactions with people in the dream and other survival aspects are nonetheless major part of the experience. And one can get used to solipsism at least to certain degree.

    I recently discovered that ego constructs an image of the void/dreaming self after the profound experience under psychedelics/meditation etc. and uses this image similarly to usual ego self image: it flashes the image of god consciousness as a thought about voidness of that experience in more ordinary state of consciousness without showing the full depth of the experience where (in my experience) if one fully surrenders to the experience there is no fear.


  3. A perspective of the situation from a South African who has lived majority of his life in China. Apparently at least part of the problem is tribal society (SD stage purple/red), where even a very corrupted and incapable leader can govern a country into a total disaster if he is from the right tribe/ethnic group, in addition to a strong general mob mentality.


  4. Sweden has had very liberal immigration policy from third world countries for decades (no filtering based on education etc., poor back up checks, poor to no return policies) and that has resulted that there are city districts where majority of the population is immigrants or their children. These immigrants generally have came from stage red and blue countries (e.g. middle east) and have lower education and poor employment rate and in time some of them have formed gangs that even rule some of those districts so that they have become no-go areas even for police forces. For long, Swedish Democrats were/have been the only party recognizing the problem and other parties have refused to co-work with that party. Here in Finland, there has been a lot of discussion about taking measures to avoid the path that Sweden has taken.


  5. This was pretty interesting New York Post interview, not a lot of new information about UFOs per se, but more about how military personnel handle this topic in their minds. At around 14:30 Lue tells how one senior personnel wanted him to stop digging into the topic as he (in his Spiral Dynamics stage blue framework) deemed UFOs as demonic. There is also a link to Part 2 in the video description.

    A crude analogy which comes to mind for me, to anyone who may struggle to relate to these perceptions, is the feeling you might have just after you've finished looking at porn.  During the act your perceptions are being warped by your body's sex hormones, and the moment you finish you look at the very same images which had a hold of you just a few moments before, but all you see now is strange slimy genitalia, distributions of fat and bizarre behaviours.

    Yep, that might be partially the reason why porn often leaves you feeling empty afterwards.


  7. @kinesin Yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to. As if people are suddenly devoid of their humanness and seem more like talking monkeys. It's weird to look at for example normally attractive celebrities in videos or pictures and see their animal side without sexual attraction and all the corrections and alterations that mind normally makes to make that person attractive.


  8. Has anyone here ever experienced directly your own form and other people around you as creatures/animals/aliens? I have many times shifted into this state of my form when staring the top of my nose, the area between my eyes and then loosing up or broadening attention. Seeing other people like this has happened more rarely, but this perspective has happened both with direct interaction with people and a couple of times while looking at things like youtube videos with people talking.


  9. Although not directly related to the topic of Bashar and psychedelics, having watched several youtube Bashar channeling videos I came across two channeling videos that contradicted each other: in the first video at 13:43 Bashar claims that they are roughly 300 years head of us, whereas in the latter at 25:28 he claims that their technology is 3000 years ahead of us. Somehow it just seems odd that highly advanced alien would make 10 times error in timeline. After all, supposedly, channelers mind/brain shouldn't affect content of the speech as it channels the thoughts of the alien and only formulates/translates them it into English. Unless there was some kind of bug in the brain :).

     


  10. @Phyllis Wagner  I think that a lot of it has to do with our diminished gut microbiome due to fast food, antibiotics, pesticides, toxins etc. Impaired microbiome cannot help us properly metabolize food and that can in time cause immune problems as majority of our immune system resides in the gut. So humans not only have polluted and ruined their environment and surrounding ecosystems but also ecosystems within their guts. I remember watching a documentary years ago in which it was claimed that people in the first world countries have a lot less bacterial species in their colons compared to native tribes in Africa that eat huge amounts of fiber from various plant sources. Also genetics and what part of the world your ancestors came from have an effect on your ability tolerate foods.


  11. @Leo Gura Thank you for the interesting blog video, it was nice to also have hopeful words from a person dealing with similar issues as I have dealt for several years. Though according to breathing test I don't have SIBO but I guess IBD with food intolerances can cause those kinds of issues too.

    I was curious whether carnivore diet has thus far had any effects on your cold feet and hands and pain in those areas? Also, have you tried adding MCT oil to your diet, it could further boost mental clarity and give extra boost as it is rapidly metabolized in the liver (though for some it can cause stomach distress). Have you had any electrolyte balance problems such as cramps or muscle twitching on carnivore diet?

    Jordan on the other hand seems completely crushed. I wonder what happened to him that collapsed his view of the objective and narrative world.

    I think that his falling ill because of benzo withdrawal might have shattered his trust in his own mind and body. I've been in a place similar to that, where one's mind doesn't work well and body is also in deep state of suffering. It can make you feel quite insane and it is difficult to ground oneself to anything, let alone to being if one has not had experience of being or consciousness. I think JP's left traumatized by that event and that trauma radiates as a fear of fear and he's trying to ground himself to morals, ethics and other constructs of his mind.

    A lot of stuff you fry on a pan can simply be baked or steamed, which is much healthier and even less work. If you use foil, you don't even need to clean  anything.

    Charring food is not so healthy.

    Aren't you worried about leaching of aluminum from foil into food at high temperatures, in  the presence of acidic/spicy foods, salt etc.? Or do you count on resources that claim that either oxide layer on the foil is strong enough so that no aluminum leaches into food, or that the amount is small enough that body can detox it?


  14. @Leo Gura Do you refer the experience of absolute truth as experience where time and space and all things in a way seize to exist and imagination realizes that all of this (reality as a content) is imagined into existence? Or do you include some other qualities to absolute truth? Do you consider love as the absolute intimacy of this kind of experience where everything is realized or noticed to be imagined into existence?


  15. Western medicine is most probably incapable of solving the problems that are related to the complex interactions that brain and gut. It is known that most modern health problems such as autoimmune, mental, cardiovascular, Alzheimer's etc. have a very strong correlation with alterations in persons gut microbiome and it seems that in a way gut microbiome communicates with the brain via vagus nerve and there has even been studies that showed that there can these microbes can be in the brain although this is unconfirmed. In addition, majority of happy hormones, such as serotonin, are produced in the gut. Clearly human body and mind should be treated as an ecosystem as one's mood and even majority of one's thoughts might be heavily influenced by the complex interactions between gut and brain.

    What western medicine does, it takes one problem and ignores all the rest. For example, I have IBD and have had severe upper GI problems for several years. The doctors just tell me to eat antacids and take no responsibility if those antacids make feel worse (as they have made). This is also backed up by several studies that show that long term antacid use is harmful and makes your lower GI track more vulnerable to infections. That's why I abandoned antacids and in fact also other IBD medicines and have tried to manage my symptoms with diet and supplements. But in my experience, diets and supplements rarely fully resolve gut problems and a more holistic approach would probably include approaches such as Fecal microbiota transplants, removing heavy metals and toxins, spiritual work and therapy and other things that western medicine is incapable of grasping.


  16. A really interesting episode. @Leo Gura You used similar terms borrowed from mathematical logic, such as tautology, to describe reality as Christopher Langan, who's the reputation for being smartest man in the America. Have you acquainted yourself with his work and his theory of everything (CTMU) that claims to prove existence of god with these kinds of tautological cognitive models? I think that based on his youtube interviews, he seems to be tier 2 stage yellow with ideas that resemble nonduality, but the idea that reality could be proven from logic and mathematics, i.e from the ruleset/content of this dream is his blind spot as a hyperlogical person.


  17. Thanks for posting the vlog video, it was really interesting to listen about your struggles, especially health related, as I have similar auto-immune related gastro etc. health problems, and how you had partially solved them or at least figured out the cause behind them. As you said, one cannot mask the misery that is caused by health problems but just keep on going in figuring around the solution although at times the path seems hopeless. I too have noticed that these kinds of problems are not solved overnight and improving my health through trial and error has been a curve with ups and downs with overall upwards trend. An important thing is to give you mind/brain and body time to rest and carefully prioritize the projects and daily tasks so that the healing can occur.


  18. @Preety_India , @@Hello from Russia In my view both of you see only the other side of the coin. Yes, money is the universal currency and as such a necessity that cannot be abandoned in the foreseeable future, but it is also an instrument of power, exploitation and injustice in the current system and current state of consciousness.

    For example, covid-19 vaccines have been developed by medical companies in co-operation with public health care research and funding and, to my knowledge, majority of the basic research behind the vaccine development is carried out and/or funded by public. But when the vaccines are approved, private health companies have a monopoly for their production and only few companies produce vaccines while most of the world's laboratory capacity remain unutilized. Thus it may take surprisingly long to get majority of the people around the globe vaccined as rich countries have the money to purchase majority of the vaccines (and they purchase them in excess, more than the would need to make sure they are the first to be able to stop social distancing and the economic harms that come with it)  and it may take a long time before countries such as India gets enough vaccines. But in the more resource-based economy companies would have more responsibilities than just generating wealth to the stock owners and more of the world's lab capacity could be utilized for the production of vaccines and more quickly could we move pass the pandemic.
