I´m vegitarian since 7weeks now and i honestyl never felt better, i will keep this for the rest of my life as far as no dramatic event happens... my occasional headaches have gone, i need less sleep, i just feel good all around. Thinking about putting in some vegan days each week, Also i thought about a concept where you basicly are vegitarian as a basis but have 1 or 2 vegan days each week and maybe eat fish once or twice a month ... i mean why not combine the benefits of the different diets!? The middle-way is definatly healthy and imagine if everyone would do this starting today! this would be huge!

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, For I´m the master of my fate, I am... the captain of my soul!

@LateBloomer hey your question was kinda answered at the top of this page! As a beginner in sds Just moove as much as necessary to continue the practice, but as few as possible! Just make shure the enlightenment-police isn´t watching while you moove thou, otherwise they might sentence you to reincarnation as hitler or smth ...not fun!

Fuck them! srsyl ...if they can´t see the positive or even get inspired by you or at least give you support ..then just ...fuck those toxic mofos! nuff said

I was exactly like this like 4-5 month ago ..i actually still have a thread on actualized with basicly the same question ... the change will come quick! What you resist persist, just meditate, go inside, don´t run away from the things you don´t want , instead shine light on them and see what they are ...you will see the purpose of those thoughts and you will come to yourself and then the real journey starts 1.meditate every day 2.go vegi/eat healthy 3.journaling/recap of your day every evening 4.do sport 5.stop all addictions (porn/food/tv/drugs?) that should help for the start!

100 isn´t that much! you go on a binge on weekend and it´s also 100 so invest that 100 and do it, also let us know what you learned

Cool just yesterday i bought "you can" george adams and "rich habits" thomas corley instead of "lazy mans..." because the title repelled me a bit ...sounded like a book that attracts lazy people who give in into the illusion of becoming rich in only 6 weeks or smth i might check it out now thou... thx

This morning i ate my breakfast ... or should i say .... i ate my "breakslow" ? yeah? anyways...took me 30minutes, i had to force myself first and cut the apple and orange really slow, i noticed that the apple looks awesome and had to laugh..already noticed this is totaly worth it (when was the last time you laughed 10minutes after waking up and feeling good cause i noticed you´re alive? ) i feel realy smoove all day, alread had a long conversation and i normaly talk a bit hectic i noticed while now i was calm and on point all the time and relaxed in a usefull way... this is going to be a habit from now on i wake up 15min earlyier and do the breakslow... leo´s new video is "radical" but i guess he is on to something here... take your time!

I would recommend reading David Graeber (London Scool of economics) "Dept - the first 5000years" for a broader/ holistic view on money and dept! the two terms are inevitably intertwined...how dept-relations pre-dated classical coin-money and also pre-dated barter! From an anthroposophic standpoint some of our ideas about dept and money , which are mainly based on the theories of economists like adam smith seem to not hold true! Thought provocing and inspiring to read. Also you get tons of interessting facts about different societys back to the old egyptians, african tribes, sumerians, babylonian culture and old china and persia... Cool book!

I´m going for a float next week, i try to prepare by meditating so i´m already "not distracted" when i go in the tank looking forward to this!

Cool what´s your hobby? guitar right? i´m also a guitar player what kind of music do you play? I just learned some jazz standart versions ... just finished "dream a little dream of me" on accoustic ...

Hey there I have some question about yoga since i thought i might try a course but not shure yet ... maybe anyone experience in yoga can help. -What to expect from it/ What are the benefits of yoga? -Shoud the yoga -teacher have a certificate or smth or can everyone teach it? -Is it worth it from your experience? do you like it & why? -Is it only for women? (are hot women in yoga courses ? jk ... totally not kidding! ) THX!

1. Take 30min everyday to explore and express your creativity, draw something, play music, dance, sing, write something, or just be silent, whatever you feel 2. before sleep take 5-10minutes about positive focus/ visualization how you want your life be "functional" and aweseom , can also write it down 3. Write a list of 10 things that are individual for you or that mean freedom for you and then do them in the next 10 weeks , 1 thing each week 4. What does a good family mean for you? write it down exactly! what does it take to get there? write it down Your life will be aweseome, it is all in your hands! Be patient , do the work , have the trust! if you can do those 3 things your life will change in 1 year COMPLETLY!!! ..also meditate

it is recommended unsupported, what helped me was training my back-muscles in the gym , strengthen them and it will be easier (also it would improove other things in your live so it is worth it anyways) If your back gets round you have 2 options which are both fine , try out both, a) just let you fall down and focus on not mooving intentionaly get to learn you in that way ,,,or b)restraigtehn it once in a while and then focus on not mooving again. In the end meditation is about spending "quality-time" with yourself, if you understand this you will see there is actually no wrong way to meditate anyways, every 30min even of "wrong meditation" is better than 30min of "right distraction"

JEAH i guess we´ve all been there at least ONCE in our lives!? You are not alone if you think stuff like : fuck it! im going to end it all.... Everyone has and everyone was wrong, some noticed it afterwards and some couldn´t notice it anymore. Also : you mixed something up , teal swan is not what you watch when you are suicidal ...teal swan is what you watch when you are horny feel better now? no? joke was too bad? FUCK! noone likes my jokes ...i think i´m going to .... wait a sec!

I had 3 Dreams last night and i could remember them. Normaly i NEVER remember any dreams! I was looking forward on exploring some dream contents of mine and enlighten more shadow aspects in the month of may anyways, so this is awesome! I interpreted all dreams with a swiss site called "Traumdeuter.ch" But maybe some of you guys know more about dream-symbols than me and can interpret those more? so here they are... 1st Dream: This one is pretty basic: A fight with my cousin, he´s an underachiever, not interessted in spirituality, lazy, weasely, a nice guy don´t wanna put him down to much but our path kinda separated, even if he was close to me at some point. he only does the minimum in life, alot! of gaming, actualy re-introduced me to gaming, and in the dream i threw him out of my flat! "what the fuck are you doing here" , "get the fuck out" i went quite drama queen but somehow i couldn´t stand him beeing here in my "private" zone . in the interpretation it says: the flat/apartement beeing the sense of individual order and what part of yourself you "mastered" I guess it means i don´t want those aspects i associate with his character in my "order" anymore and i agressively refused those in the dream. It actually felt semi-lucid in this one and i literaly wanted to throw him out, it felt real physical agressiveness. 2nd Dream: then i dreamt about loosing my jacket on a small trip i was taking with my father. In the interpretation it says: the jacket can be a symbol for the "image" you have , and it makes sense, since i felt now is a time where i start to loose the old "image" of mine i had for the last 2-3 years (i bought this jacket i dreamt about 3 years ago) 3rd Dream: This one was a bit more scary and abstract - dream symbol: jaw in the interpretation it says: the jaw stands for melancholie / feelings ..transcendental meaning(transcenDENTAL!! get it?! ) meaning: to understand or to experience the infite now .. (WTF?? how accurate is this mofo? this was exactly what i experienced 3 days ago in my sds, it actually says that on the site! When i woke up this morning i had no idea what it means and i was realy confused about that last dream but now it makes sense...) in my dream i saw persons who suffered, they were all in a room (the society?) and their jaws were broken on purpose like they were part of an experiment. I felt sorry for them and was shocked by the sight. then when i watched one of them i saw he made a wooden aligner around the jaw to heal it , when i went closer he tried to attack me (don´t know what that means! i then woke up and remembered all 3 dreams (maybe the attack was a part of me wanting to wake me up with a shock so i can get conscious of the content??) ...further interpretations/meanings are welcome

Thanks @Henri i like him and found many truth in his teachings but here i ...hm not even disagree but i think what he says is true in a sense and also what c.g.jung explored about dreams and the unconcious part of the mind is equaly true/usefull, both aspects are important i guess. the abstract/feeling/subjective attributes of dreams but also the concrete/mind-ish/objective attributes ... some of the contents of our "wholeness" (the hidden part of the ice-berg) that get suppressed or better say filtered out in the "half-wake" everyday mindstate that is limited by a)words by b)social conventions (some thoughts are unacceptable even to think we were told) and c)by logic (what doesn´t conform to logic can´t be true and won´t get conscious when "wake" but in dream-state those 3 filters are OFF! how important can the messages be for us if we listen to them and use the chance i say! but everyone can disagree , i´m always open for different suggestions

ok! this is news to me! very interessting. I get it that sitting is not that healthy. What i read it is mainly because it makes it easy/likely for the body to get fat/build up new fat-cells and thus increasing chances of heart-diseases. I only think, well HOW am i going to meditate if i can´t sit down? I mean 6h is unusual, normaly i do 1h AND i have a job where i basicly never sit down i´m standing/walking 6h+ in my job, so i guess even with sitting down everyday for 1-2h im still mooving FAR more than average... But jeah ...sitting kills..bad news for all "meditationists" ... any suggestions how to solve the problem? I mean this is basicly unsolvable ... especially in todays time you HAVE to sit in most jobs for basicly 7 or 8 h then you sit in the car and you sit at home ..lol ...if this is true we should all be dead in a sense? i mean i take it serious but on the other hand it is hard to deny that most people already sit most of the day (and are obese ok i give you that) ...hm ...guess just don´t meditate tooo much , i think if you do sport/eat healthy/ work out/ moove a lot/ then the benefits of 1h meditation every day by far outweigh the negative effects i would say...

They will hate it ! Are you insane now? You can´t do this to us! What did we do wrong? Please just become a nurse and work 9 to 5 and we can die happy" But don´t hate them, remember: they tried their best and succeded in treating you a little bit better than they haven been treated by their parents! so it is not their fault, just focus on your mission: to do it better than they did , if only a little bit or a whole lot better

@Irina Irina It is normal for you to explore the world and leave family behind. When i was 20 i couldn´t wait to moove out and after i did and almost never called my parents besides visits on christmas or special ocassions. After 5-6 years of doing my own thing, the connection got better , today i feel they accept my boundaries but mostly because i can nowadays present myself as a person with a strong sense of self and very explicit boundaries for them. If i get "weak" and emotional they everything will start over , which in a sense is quite sad since i can´t realy be emotional "true" to them without them seeing me as "weak" and trying to fix me, instead of just listening. I guess i know why ...because they themselves can´t realy handle emotions very good because THEIR parents did the same with them ..so my advise search for other people where you can be your true self and let your parents be your parents , chances are they won´t change in this life, just see the good sides in them in don´t expect too much.

@cetus56 Hehe yeah just tried to avoid using that word "gate" again Also today the pendulum swung all the other way. Today i felt extremely "carnal" sexual, body-wise present/ unusual playfull & agressive while doing sports after work. Also i just asked for a pay-rise today i thought why not! will get the answer to it by the end of the week, i was thinking about asking since the start of the year but there was always a reason not to ... don´t have time for this lame shit anymore! @Emerald Wilkins cool ! i think what you do is realy strong, didn´t know you have 2 little ones... well not everyone would have the energy do invest in both spiritual work & the children, but i think it will benefit you and your children if mommy meditates my mother could have realy used some meditation when we were little she was quite unbalanced back then and maybe overwhelmed by me and my energy-overdrive ... also waking up at 6 is nice, i try to get there step by step ...currently waking up 6.40ish

This could be a 2 video-series: 1. Would be a video about subconscious procesess while in the waking state, why they are unconscious, how to become aware and integrate them (shadow work!) 2. Would be a video about subconscious procesess while dreaming, how to become aware of dreams and their meaning and maybe even how to become aware while dreaming (lucid dreams)

I mean it was only 2 days ago.., but i feel i finaly established a bridge to my "inner world" more ...normaly im logic only "rational is the only way guy" and i felt like smth was missing from my life, i kind of got a clue now this might be the right direction but who knows, time will tell i guess

@cetus56 Jeah if everyone could experience this imagine how the whole society would change. Alot of current problems would dissolve (also many new problem might arise lets be fair here ) i guess that sense of "oneness" might literaly come from the left and the right hemisphere of the brain interconnecting more ... this of course is just a theory.

I "think" .. this is the great danger about conceptualizing nothingness/awareness/oneness whatever you wanna call it. We create models aka this and that is like a gate/ how can the gate open/ what is the gate made of/ who designed the gate/ what color is the gate of? you can start to ask all kinds of meaningless questions you see? and treat those mental images like actual facts... but what we actually!! ACTUALLY DO while we try to "get" what is, we instead get lost in a thought! mental masturbation! what you did as a child was not conceptionalizing! you didn´t create the thought of a gate opening and then it happend ... it just happend because you didn´t think at all and you just were presend and then "after the fact" you added that concept of a gate to it ...forget about that gate in a literal sense, it is a nice metaphor but useless for reaching a feeling of oneness!
