I eat meat too since my family eat it. I prefer vegetarian though but don't care enough to make a separate dish just for me. Yeah salt and oil is hard to go without. We have just changed salt from regular to mineralsalt since it is a bit better for your body. I think it's important to find a good balance between health and pleasure. If you go to hard you wont be able to keep it up basically. Oh that's interesting I did eat raw breakfast and lunch in the past and a regular dinner. Sounds like it's similiar. I'll look it up. Have you heard of nutritionfacts.org? Great site for knowledge around eating healthy. Dr Michael Greger who runs it has a team of around 200 doctors that keep up with all the science of nutrition.

A very harsh diet, I wasn't able to be on it for more than a couple of months but I like the chart. It Inspire me to eat more vegetables. And yeah i did feel great more enegized etc. When I was on it. From hello nutritarian website: "eat plant-based–emphasizing raw fruits and vegetables, greens, beans, mushrooms, onions, berries and raw nuts & seeds (high-nutrient foods) avoid processed foods and animal products (hormonally unfavorable) cook without oil (major caloric load with very low nutrients) keep added salt to less than 400mg a day (salt deadens your tastebuds and contributes to food addiction) stop snacking between meals (keeps you in the catabolic state of your digestion cycle allowing your cells the ability to clean and repair DNA damage)"

Seems like it. The amount you'd need to eat to get all the calories you need..

So I guess if I want seed oils coldpressed is the way to go?

One of my favorites is chana masala. It's cheap, tasty and nutricious.

@LordFall I use cast iron. I've heard that iron can leak into the food though so maybe stainless steel or carbon steel is better but I really enjoy cooking in it. 🙂

@James123 Would you say Love is a biproduct of surrendering? For me surrender is more an active process and Love an aspect of consciousness.

If we define suffering=physical pain x mental.. anguish (thoughts), I totally agree. I've been defining suffering=mental anguish but maybe the first definition is better. 😀

Just watch the paralympics. Watching what those people are capable of can certainly blow your mind, and compared to other with the same handicap they don't have the same limiting beliefs.

Only 80%.. What's the other 20% caused by?

And trying to get rid of it is in itself an egoic action, ego in war with itself, so that doesn't work.

@Javfly33 Yeah, probably how the collective unconscious work. It gets absorbed from living in society.

Now is the doorway yes. 🙂

@numbersinarow Every moment is the way it is. All labels of right or wrong comes from thinking. Which is also happening in the moment.

Exactly! 😁

@LookingForTruth But who decides what's pathetic or not pathetic?

200 iq or 80 iq. Both need to move up the spiral. A stage blue christian and a stage turquoise christian will probably have two completely different views about christianity.

@Flowerfaeiry Read Resurrecting Jesus by Adyashanti and you'll get a whole new perspective about Jesus and christianity. 🙂

And "nah this is not me just me feeling" "is just a thought."" "how do I do this", "No matter what I try to do it's just more thought or feeling" "Gaaah" "here I go again, more thinking" 😆 In my opinion feelings are meant to be felt fully. No matter how "good" or "bad" they might seem. Only once we start to cling to or resist certain feelings do they start to be a problem.

@PurpleTree Sounds like all religions including science. Used as a way to control and manipulate the masses.

Binary seems like a duality too. 🙂

I haven't seen it either but I do move chairs on a daily basis. I envision it in my mind's eye and suddenly a hand appears and moves it for me. 😁

Yeah maybe it's not as black and white as they make it out to be. It's good to be both critical and open minded to teachings. You could test this out. Can you be hungry and happy at the same time? Sure goals can be good. Depending on your goals 🙂 with spirituality you might need to choose. But take it as it comes. There's a difference between having thoughts and emotions, and being identified with them. There's a "stickiness" to them when you are identified with them, believing them to be true.

It doesn't say anything about Islam but it does say alot about ISIS and how far they have developed. Because they talk to completely different crowds. Have you watched the spiral dynamics series by Leo? Imagine talking to a red/blue crowd vs a green-yellow crowd. How would you adapt your teachings accordingly? You can see acts of terrorism in all religions. The acts are not reflection of the religion but the ones committing the act.

Happy new year everyone!
