  1. Its the ego that enjoys it not god. And the ego is in ignorance and denial.
  2. Reason why this is not a good idea: bioavailability: The nutriotional value of fresh vegetables is much higher than that of powders. For example a whole tomato contains more phytochemical compounds, nutrients, living water, antioxidants than powder. For it to make sense you should stay away from a powder mix and focus on a single item, which is made out of a high nutrional food grown in good soil( many minerals in the plant are from it). Or powder from a wild plant. But even then it does not come close to the real thing. We still dont grasp the complexity of the biological structure in our food. You could just eat vegetables and you would not need to add extra fibers. If you are so concerned of wasting time in this aspect, buy a cutting machine, boil it or make a simple soup. Meal preap would also be an option, as you would only be focused on it for 1 or 2 days a week. For me it seems that over simplifyng your meals is part of your problem with distraction from other problems. And don forget a healthy diet is important so it only makes sense that it is connected to more effort.
  3. Thanks for your wisdom, but how did you overcome the notion to ground yourself in groundlessness , if im allowed to ask?
  4. Sometimes you have no choice. Some people get confronted with it, without influence from outside or sometimes life unfolds in a way that makes it a necessity. So i think it is important that there are options to turn to. Sadly mainstream psychology has still not adapted enough or is not acknowledging the importance of inner work.
  5. the only limit to god is god. Which itself creates an infinity loop,because god is infinite
  6. god is already consciousness separated but still connected and every part of it folds into infinity in itself
  7. I was completely wrong , the believe i had correlating to this was bigger than it actually is. I wanted to describe it as something between the ego and the no-mind, but even if there is such a thing, it is certainly not the problem im having. Thats why i wont be too hasty posting something the nex time.
  8. My ego is fractured, desperately clinging on different pieces of itself , switching between high selfestteem and low self worth. I sometimes feel like a hollow shell trapped between ego archetypes and no-self while being the watcher of it all what shall i do? Does this make sense to anyone? If yes, can someone with a higher insight than mine give me some serious advice. Would be very thankfull for input.
  9. Thanks for the anwsers. I might created this pattern unwillingly but this post showed that im staying in it willingly. Maybe an unconscious fear of letting go of the self.
  10. Sometimes an aware ego and sometimes an unaware one.
  11. Its hard to describe so the labels of the words might not fit in their entirety. Also Im 100 %certain that it isnt a mental issue. Cause it might sound like it.
  12. My overall diet structure is as follows: As breakfast i eat millet with some fruits (most of the time bananas and dates) and tea with honey. I also hydrate with lemon water and follow some detox routines. Until lunch i snack on fruit (mostly apples, but i keep it diversified) and drink some more tea. At lunch i currently eat chestnuts, some fruit vegetable juices and some unsalted rice crackers with honey. If i get hungry during the the afternoon i eat some more fruit. (Have to improve my routine to prepare some meals for my needs in advance) For dinner i eat the biggest portion in form of gluten free carbs like squash,(sweet) potatoe (occasionally brown rice, millet), with different types of vegetables , some leafy greens ,algaes, lentils, beans, onions, chickpeas, chili, some herbs..... All oil and salt free when possible. All my fats are from natural sources and unprocessed ( coconut, nuts, olives, ...). Once a week i eat wild salmon and very rarely wild game meat. No caffeine or mood altering stuff like chocolate.
  13. You should check out the bioneer on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/@TheBioneer His definition and philosophy of functional training is quiet good. He adresses the points you are making. There is a stigma around functional training, because most people associate it with some fancy popculture cardio flows without cross modality to everyday life.
  14. Spiritually, Mentally, Lifestyle wise. Maybe some thoughts regarding life purpose, job and dangers regarding social behaviour,mass psychology, consciousness. If it is possible to pack such a big topic into one video, I would definatly look forward on Leos thoughts about this topic.
  15. https://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/ Their brand offers a lot of diffrent barefoot shoes. Ranging from Sport, Outdoors,.. Some of them should be waterproof and have a thermal insole. It combines the weather durability of normal shoes with barefoot shoes. Havent found anything better yet. You could argue that those are not the most minimal form of barefoot shoe but they offer the best weather protection. I myself own the Tracker II FG, which have proofen to be water resistent. For very cold days you might need some extra thick socks.
  16. I just had the idea of accumulating more medative time during the days im struggling to perform a longer practice, using a pomodoro timer. As a tool to boost my mental capability for more serious and longer sittings. Maybe also for mental preparedness and for the sake of rewiring the brain. What do you guys think? I often know when i reached the limit for the day and notice my brain is processing the session. But i still got the feeling i could do a little more. I do know that, that kinda thinking is not fit for a more profound practice but im still curious of other opinions.
  17. Amazing . I tried it today, but i only measured the time and put more mindfulness into the shorter meditation sittings becoming more aware of the process itself. As soon as i noticed some lack of commitment i took a break, staring at the wall and relaxing the mind and walked around the room. I also measured the time of the break to see whats the least needed amount of time to get back in for another round. Maybe the timer isnt necessary but it feels like a good indication of progress. I will do a longer practice in the evening and i will see how it effects my mental state. To be completely honest, sometimes a longer sitting of mine looks like, as you described above.
  18. Your own insight about the 45 minute mark is quiet interesting, I havent noticed something like this myself, but it makes sense. Most of the time i stop, when i beginn to slack off accompanied with the feeling of progress Definitely going to try it out for a short while and share my experience. As you pointed out the risk of half-assed states and the flaw of not going deep. Thanks
  19. Im honestly not developed enough to give you advice, but what you have written resembles my own cynical thought patterns. Reading this made me realize something about myself ,which itself came so spontaneously to my mind, i had to write it down as a note. It might be of help. Here is the unfiltered text: Message to a stranger (Me): All these years you have created yourself these naive illusion as you call it, with use of your intellect and the mind. And now you made up another one. Making yourself believe everything is meaningless and you cant find no joy in consciousness, or there is no reason to live. While analyzing everything through the lense of logic. Stop this disecting and try to experience more. All this is clouding your senses. So do not see your life as meaningless. In addition to that it already effected mine ,reading this, in a possitive way.
