  1. At some point you were the fastest and most resilient sperm cell crossing the ultra hostile acidic environment of your mother's uterus without dying while around 3 million of your brothers and sisters didn't make it...I'd say that alone gives you a right to live. For a deeper answer, some of the more conscious members of this group will have to contribute
  2. Don't do it alone, especially if you've never fasted long term before. Find a naturopath or detox. specialist to assist you and provide guidance. The risk is that your liver and kidneys may not be ready for the toxic shitload that is about to hit them. Read a bit about Liver detoxification Phase 1 and Phase 2 and study what nutrients are needed for it to do these properly. You want to be at your absolute nutritional and health peak before attempting even 48 hour fast, not to mention 72. Some herbs like Milk Thistle, Dandelion and Nettle Leaf are very helpful in this. Also there are some meals like grapefruit you may want to avoid for a while before fasting as they inhibit Phase 1 or 2. I'd suggest do couple 24 hour fasts to start getting your elimination organs accustomed and maybe than do a 36 hour vegetable juice fast or 48 hour mono fruit fast. Give it a while before doing 72 water.
  3. I'm mostly going to focus on "nature" here because that's a dominant one and the other would mostly get "hit" by following the first one properly. anyway. Environmental (activism/ wildlife preservation / climate change / marine biology / tropical forest preservation.and similar, environmental consulting for corporate sector, green energy) Organic farming (we defo need more of this!!) Plant keeping and selling, beekeeping, exotic gardening Herbal medicine / natural healing hiking guide & hiking trail maintenance, forest or national park ranger, mountain climbing instructor, diving instructor, gardening specialist / gardening architect Vlogger (travel, farming, herbalism, sustainability, gardening...) Photography (wildlife, country, people, travel.... Thats all I can think of for now but bet there are thousands of things you can do. Be more specific on your values. What does "nature" mean to you? What does "optimism" mean? So say "nature" ->> is it to preserve it? to admire it? to photograph it? to see all of it? to help and protect the endangered species? ...because this is going to specify your career. I suggest you do this for your top 5 as those are likely going to be your main determinant factors. Also consider your Signature Strengths from the other LP exercise. Good luck
  4. This posts (and also her previous) have reached their threshold. Lots of great advices have been provided yet it is obvious she is not willing to take any steps or any advice and simply keeps asking for more back-patting. @Key Elements @Serotoninluv you may want to consider closing this...
  5. look up "Vegan Gains" on youtube and look at the comments people leave him...that's Orange being presented with Green.
  6. Yeah, this is well known. The imbalance of Omega 3 vs Omega 6 in human diet is a huge problem. Ideally you should have 3:1 Omega6 : Omega3. In reality, most people have like 15:1 or 20:1.
  7. 2 chimps kicking and punching each other in a cage....while tens of millions of chimps at homes get entertained and eat junk food. I think the idea of mixed-martial arts is brilliant but sadly it has been twisted and raped by stage Orange, we could have had a beautiful concept of mastery, instead, we have this low consciousness shit. I have this idea in my mind of a young samurai apprentice in 16-hundreds, at 5 am practising his daily drill with wooden Katana on a meadow with a mountain behind him and first hints of emerging sunlight. He has been doing this since he was 9, same time, same place every day. There is nothing to gain and nothing to strive for, this is the way of life....this is a real martial art imo, but perhaps that's a very naive concept Lesson to be learned from this fight?: sell your TV and devote this time to mastering an art or a skill that you will offer to the world one day. Turn more inward and care less about the drama out there.
  8. Last Meal: 1 cup of buckwheat + 2 chopped bananas + almonds + bit of molase + ground flaxseeds + handflul bluberries. Healthies meal this week: probably the 36 hour fast
  9. Unlike many flour products such as pastries, bread, some cereals etc... oat are considered a wholegrain. The difference between standard grain products and wholegrain is the processing of the plant. Wholegrains have not been heat processed hence they retain the original structure, the core of the seed is untouched and the ensymes have not been destroyed yet. Processed wheat that has been powdered into flour has been stripped of all the nutrients and is left out with allergenic protein gluten but unfortunatelly the ensyme that halps to process the gluten is gone so some people react (Coeliacs). Not everybody reacts to this though and for those with no gluten sensitivity (from what I've read so far) there is no big issue. However another side of nutrition claims that all grains are inflammatory and acidic, hard on gut endothelium (gut wall), hard on digestion and taxing on pancreas. Probably true on the acidic part but we have multiple buffering systems in the body that regulate the PH, contrary to popular beliefs, the blood does not get acidic unless something is very very....very wrong -> than you're pretty much one leg in grave. Another argument is that because wholegrains are so difficult to digest, a lot of them is left by the time they reach large intestine (colon) hence they feed your "good bacteria", the microflora which is super important for healthy immune system. So I guess as long as you don't suffer mayor digestive or intestinal issue or an autoimmune disease that could have been caused by leaky gut or collitis, you should be quite fine to eat wholegrains and processed grains (in smaller amounts) likewise ..not sure that answers your question Edit -> also legumes and seeds are considered grains in some literature and those are definitely good as long as they are prepared correctly
  10. find a meaningful skill/ practice -> study and develop a hell out of it -> start offering it to people online. If you are really good at something, people are willing to pay you a lot of money for it. You can always do what other people do like trying to sell crap from China on Amazon but that kind of business destroys spirit and your higher values in my opinion
  11. @Shakazulu just wondering, although probably unrelated. Have you ever been on corticosteroids or any immunosuppresants? Sometimes when people struggle with inflammation that won't go away, it is because their adrenals are not pumping out enough cortisol which naturally puts out the inflammation. Often this is the case when somebody has been on steroids (medicational or athletic) but could be also due to other reasons. -> but this is just speculation...
  12. @AMS This was a terrible interview imo. Although some brilliant arguments were passed, I felt Joe wasn't really neutral here. Joel has been interrupted way way more times than Chris. Obviously, since Joe is a heavy meat eater himself, he would have a bias. On the other hand, I often found Chris very grounded and chilled where Joel was a bit neurotic to achieve his point but then, it was 2 against 1. It turned out to be a typic debate between vegan and carnivore where they are just throwing out studies to prove their point. The interview should have gone completely different way and there was soo much these two could talk about like fasting, longevity, autoimmune conditions, weight loss , not pickering like 2 kids around saturated fats.
  13. Do you know what has caused this in you? Some sort of local damage or sport wear&tear?
  14. all factory meats are heavy supplemented with B12 because their diet has 0 grass , so unless you eat pure organic meat of grass-fed animal you are supplementing as well, just taking the supplement second hand. Most plant foods, especially unprocessed wholefoods are way way more dense in nutrients than most animalfoods. The exceptions being organs such as liver and heart which are "superfoods" in animal kingdom but most people do not eat those anyways. agreed that there is tons of vegan and vegetarian junkfood but those are in omnivour diet likewise.
  15. it means you age slower so potentially you might be living longer , thats a good thing. Embrace what you have and learn to accept things you cannot change. It could be that your pituitary is not producing enough growth hormone, testicles not producing enough testosterone or thyroid subfunctioning slightly or simply genetics....Nowadays we are all about faster metabolism, faster growth, more muscle, more hair faster faster faster... But you want to slow these things down. Everything that happens too fast ages you af. Instead of focusing on what you lack focus on what you can improve, work on your skills, on your personal development and in 10 years time you will jump ahead of all the pretty neat boys who get all the pussy. As a successful masculine man who is capable confident and well develped you will not have a problem attracting a lot of high quality women in your life.
  16. As someone from Eastern Europe also living in UK, I can kinda understand your struggle. Our countries are yet to climb on the spiral ladder, although I see a lot of Orange influx already. The thing with family is that sometimes for generations we have been fed the same culture, same values. From parent to child and to their child. These value systems are so deeply engraved that a threat such as one of them "turning yellow" and coming with completely foreign values is incredibly terrifying. Blue people also have a tendency for emotional manipulation such as becomming depressed and sad as you described in the email. I see this as very selfish reaction although in their case it is unconcious and masked as love. I get this from my family a lot. You can decide to love and accept them as they are, they are very unlikely to change. Eventually they will learn to do the same for you no matter how blue-minded they are. It has been the same for my family. They don't agree with many of my decisions but learned to accept them. You can tell them something like: "I love you all but it would make me very happy if you could support my decisions, whatever they are." And than, I guess spare them of as much detail as possible in terms of your meditation practice, self help, veganism, atheism..whatever it is that you are doing that compromises their values.
  17. Once you stop comparing yourself to others, there is no room for inferiority or superiority. Its just you on your "playground" and nobody can ruin that for you. Easier said than done of course. Perhaps there is a looming shadow of your past that's causing this that needs to be addressed or a bully that needs to be forgiven?
  18. One of the greatest benefit of school, especially once you get a bit specialised is receiving a core framework of the study material otherwise you will easily get overwhelmed. Think about it like receiving a bare skeleton on the top of which you now have to add all meat and organs and tissues in your own time. This makes the additional investment worthy in my opinion. Knowing "what" to study, makes it easier than just going out there and buying random books on physics & astronomy because you want to be a NASA engineer. The dark side is being sucked into academia with all its bureaucracy, egotism and closemindedness, in a stage blue/orange and having your creative spirit shackled, beaten, raped and thrown into the corner. You can of course, decide to "play along" without getting indoctrinated but that is more difficult than you'd imagine.
  19. As an alternative, you can simply put it out every morning and for 5 minutes keep looking at it and just feel the energy kicking in. You can also do that in the middle of the day and at the end. Take it as your prayer haha, just be very mindful and focused, don't make this a mechanical routine. rather observe what happens in your body. Btw, the girl looks like an angel, is she someone you know?
  20. Open a giant herbal clinic somewhere in tropics and educate/heal people from all over the world for free.
  21. no recommendations in particular, just make sure they are organically sourced although the pesticides may not necessarily penetrate all the way to the core so sprouted should be quite safe - btw broccoli sprouts are a bomb! They made a study in China, in a very polluted region and noticed that people sipping pure broccoli sprout juice had significantly less pollutants in their blood. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4125483/
  22. My sister is currently heavily stuck in stage red. --> Massive rebellion against family and anyone trying to offer an advice, talking shit, hating people, hanging out with dysfunctional people, avoiding duties and responsibilities, constantly blaming everybody for her problems..when trying to find a job, she would get discouraged and give up after first failure calling everybody "fucking c***s in ties and suits." My question is: Is there any point trying to talk sense to her and potentially opening her eyes towards more BLUE or does every stage need to awaken on its own otherwise I'll only face a lot of ego-backlash. And before you say that I am judgemental and not loving, believe me that I am trying to be loving and understanding but any effort for meaningful conversation ends up in being called "gay treehugger and loser"
  23. You don't need your doctor to diagnose this. I was suggesting adrenal weakness because this is what millions of people struggle with. Adrenal glands produce steroid hormones and neurotransmitters that are supposed to keep you vital and lively (adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol etc...) if you feel like this is missing than often the case is them not functioning optimally. By the way, boxing trainings may as well contribute to the condition. I have burned out my adrenals through years of kick boxing and very heavy circuits. If you have any of the following symptoms, this may as well be it: being too shy and feeling often inferior having cold extremities having difficulty getting of bed in the morning feeling heaviness on your chest sometimes (having difficulty taking a big breath) insomnia nervous legs or tremors tinitus ADD ongoing inflammations in body that don;t go away poor sugar metabolism (feeling sleepy after every meal) But maybe its none of it I'd still suggest you check your blood pressure, that alone would indicate a lot. If your upper is below 110, your adrenals are weak, if below 100, they are very weak. Also what @Space suggested, having your blood checked for signs of anaemia may as well be it.
  24. @EmeraldShe is 23, recently finished the uni. I was considering Orange but to me it seems there is way too much aggresive selfishnes in there, especially the unhealthy selfishness, I'd say. The use of foul words, the rebellion, being rude to parents and the people she hangs out with. Also a massively selfish behaviour and tendency to manipulate people towards serving her needs. @Solace, thanks. Yeah, perhaps I should stop trying to remedy and simply let go. @Serotoninluv, @Key Elements thanks guys. I like the idea of increasing responsibility starting from 1%. You are right once the resistance shell has been cracked, the person probably won't notice a small gradual increase in the responsibility.
