  1. Makes sense Works every time I’ll look it up
  2. I’m no expert in what these terms mean. I’m just thinking in regard to how the cows live: a life of freely grazing vs confined in small spaces, and the effect on the environment for these different methods. So whichever one is better for the cows and enviroment I support. Maybe we can find a way to make it equally tasty in the future
  3. 56: I don’t understand how people have so much to say. Usually my mind is quite empty and I try to think of a reply but I can’t come up with anything of particular substance so I just let it be. I feel I barely have access to my own brain
  4. Jokes aside I actually tested this during the astral projection. I floated around my apartment to try to spot a detail on my mom for example something she says so I can then wake up and tell her I heard it. It didn’t work though because what happens was that I saw things that weren’t there so while my mom was in her room instead I saw her in the kitchen so it seems that the astral world isn’t exactly like the real world
  5. Did this happened laying down resting or being up and going? lol. I’d like to Cool didn’t know. The spinal cord is maybe connected to the chakras, the energy centers. So sleep paralysis vibrations maybe is both neurological and spiritual. It was during them I heard that female voice tell me something.
  6. I don’t need either or them to reach it. It happens spontaneously for me. Recently it can be in the morning when I sleep for longer than I need
  7. I like it. I can float up until the sky, or under the ground, where it looks dark and like inside of a mountain. I can float around the neighborhood. It usually lasts only for a short time, I don’t know why, maybe I need to master it more, but I tend to reach a point very quickly where I return to my body or wake up or something
  8. Irregular sleep patterns, sleep deprivation, and for me sleeping in, can contribute to getting sleep paralysis. Then what I do to astral project, sometimes it’s spontaneous but I kinda focus my attention on some location outside my body then I will separate and float towards there, then I can float outside or to other rooms
  9. When I have slept more than I need I can get sleep paralysis. So maybe that’s because I’m laying down and my brain thinks I’m asleep but I’m well rested enough so I remain awake and have sleep paralysis. Due to my brain being in a awake state and maybe having those “conscious” neurotransmitters you mentioned That makes me wanna try sleep deprivation lol
  10. I dont fall asleep that late so it can’t be that, but I do sleep in for a long time, and I can get sleep paralysis when I’ve slept more than I need. So certain neurotransmitters that are abundant in the brain during consciousness make you awake during the rem sleep causing the sleep paralysis? Cool didn’t know. Seems there’s a link between the science and spirituality.
  11. It happens spontaneously for me, it’s kinda like I focus my attention on a place outside my body and then I separate from my body and float towards that place. I think it’s cool. I didn’t even try to cultivate it , only maybe a few times I’ve actively tried but then it didn’t work, it came spontaneously
  12. Maybe it’s both the material and the spiritual perspective at one time. What do you mean by the OBE being from previous existences? It’s usually not very overwhelming. I usually have quite subtle hallucinations. I haven’t explored it in waking state and I’m not particularly interested in that since I get enough of it when I sleep (although sometimes I sleep during the day and I get it during the day)
  13. I usually don’t see that much even if I open my eyes, but things in my environment can change shape, I can hear sounds like a voice or shouting. My environment tends to look very “murky”
  14. Haha. It s good I’m not scared at all from it. That wouldn’t be so nice
  15. I usually only eat meat on holidays or occasionally when my parents barbecue, then I eat the meat my parents buy which is usually conventionally raised. Other than that I eat chicken and eggs sometimes , also what my parents buy so it’s conventionally raised, but I have decided to eat more plant based this year. Hopefully I don’t sound like a hypocrite My goal this year is to eat more plant based. I’m still an omnivore so I eat animal products but I thought I’d limit chicken to maybe once a week, I’m gonna buy organic meat occasionally, then fish about once a week. Something like that
  16. I understand that not everyone can afford grass finished products that’s why I think it’s okay they buy the conventionally raised. But those who can afford the grass finished I think it’s a good idea to buy it. But most importantly I think we should reduce our meat intake and switch to a more plant dominant diet, science says it’s optimal. And it does not have to be more expensive. Making organic options cheaper is a good idea to make more people buy it yes. I don’t know though if it’s possible to make it cheaper because there’s a reason it’s more expensive. But if you reduce animal products intake you could potentially I’m not sure because I haven’t calculated difference between a more plant based diet vs more animal based , but it could potentially be cheaper to eat more veggies, like legumes for example are cheap. And then you’d have more money left so the few times you eat meat you may afford the better organic options. But as I said I don’t know that for sure as I haven’t calculated the difference. I don’t think it’s a good idea to be angry and shame people who eat conventionally raised animal products that’s why, I said that I have an understanding of vegans who do that because of the tremendous suffering it causes animals. But I don’t believe it works to shame people into making change, so it’s generally not a good idea. Whether to trust the science or not I’m not fully sure. But I just said what the science said and that is that eating a more plant dominant diet is optimal.
  17. I understand if everyone switched to grass finished animal products maybe it wouldn’t be sustainable either because you’d need a bunch of land for that. But that’s why I said it’s key for people to significantly reduce their meat intake and switch to a more plant based diet. And that doesn’t necessarily mean switching to heavily processed meat alternatives, one could eat legumes for example. If one can afford grass finished animal products I think it’s better to buy it, but if not then I understand one would buy conventionally raised.
  18. I don’t have a problem with meat eating per se. I have a problem with modern factory farming. That’s cruel and unsustainable. Science says a plant predominant diet is optimal, so we don’t need so much meat, just a little bit one can eat. And if eating it’s preferably grass finished and sustainably raised. That’s the ideal. So I understand vegans who shame meat eaters because many people eat too much meat and eat it conventionally raised in factory farms which isn’t good. I agree about not increasing the population. I’m open to insects etc too. But as I said one can lower meat intake and eat predominantly plants and eat sustainably raised meat, I think that could potentially be sustainable for a lot of people if not the whole planet somehow
  19. Okay I understand your reason then. One has to foster the relationship one has, and if you would help them but they wouldn’t help you back then it’s maybe time to cut some people off, so it’s mutual
  20. Maybe that’s the underlying reason but is that the conscious reason? Isn’t the conscious reason more something along the lines of feeling approved, loved, seen, included
