Healing with Whole Foods if you’re serious about really specific knowledge on nutrition. But I decided to focus on a more straightforward book like The Whole Foods diet by John Mackey. Other than that Leo’s soup and blueberry recipes are a great start. P.S: both books contain supposedly great tasting, plant-based recipes.

Fun read: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Leo_Gura Is it supposed to be a joke, a parody or what?

I wouldn’t intellectualize the process too much. Contemplation is setting out to directly experience whatever is true regarding your object of contemplation. It’s an ontological (being) matter. What is X? Also discarding every belief and assumption we can possibly find. Your questions are rather secondary. Hold a question throughout the day. That said, start with 15min/day and remember that persistence is the key, so no matter if we contemplate 3 hours in a given day and then stop altogether the next three weeks. Sometimes it’s better to be in a quiet room without distractions and use a timer. Use a journal as you contemplate if you want, but again when it comes to contemplation, its very simplicity is what makes it hard sometimes. No prerequisites really. Also check out Leo’s video on how to contemplate using a journal. Good luck

Neither suppress nor act it out. Let it be there. What’s anger? Why (purpose) is it there? Adding guilt to the equation is unnecessary. Also consider that anger is based on a sense of hurt and it’s always related to the past.

You may get a sense of what it is to be “charismatic” by microdosing LSD, but basically authenticity and confidence are the key. It’s not so much about what you say but how you say it. Drop the desire to be liked. Be present, natural. Try to listen to what they’re trying to communicate. Back straight, body relaxed, eye contact, clear voice. And practice.

Perhaps revisit the fundamentals: diet, exercise and sleep. Your symptoms may at least be alleviated by working on those. Check out The Inmune System Recovery Plan. Your nutrition can cause depression, brain fog, ADD, anxiety, chronic fatigue. Hope to have been of some help.

Easier said than done, but could you enjoy the fear? Become conscious that you’re creating the emotion —emotions are created by us, they don’t “fall” on us by circumstances. Notice that it serves a purpose. Contemplate fear instead of avoiding it. What is it? It’s an experience, like being bored. Or when you feel boredom. Separating the emotion from yourself in this way helps us realize that it’s not us. It’s external to you, like having blue hair — as much as you dislike it, it’s not really you. Fear components: Relative to the future: can’t experience it if you live in the present (not creating a possibility of a future) Holding a concept of an experience you’re unwilling to go through (stop creating the concept or be willing to experience it) The experience you’re unwilling to go through happening in the future So practice, do it anyways, and contemplate it.

I like Wordpress with the genesis framework + theme. It’s expensive but simple, fast, secure, and beautiful if you like studiopress’ templates — but take that as the opinion of a layman. Other than that, I’ve fallen into the trap of choosing the best possible tools, software or themes. Sometimes it’s better to start with whatever you’ve got, knowing that you can change it in the future.

Healing with Whole Foods might help. It's a bible.

What you’re looking for is the book list. There's an Epistemology section with gems in there. Totally worth it.

Microdosing LSD could help.

The transcending self course is profound and challenging. Peter’s approach is facilitating your contemplations. Understanding the material intellectually is secondary. The goal is to deeply and experientially grasp the communication. You’ll be asked to investigate many aspects of your experience so that you generate insights and breakthroughs for yourself. The work is real and grounded.
