@Saumaya yes!

@Saumaya The book PsychoCyberbetics talks about this. Our mind can’t differentiate ‘real’ experience vs imagined experience, so when you do something correctly in your minds eye, it saves in your memory as “correct way to do it” thus now being able to do it in real life Pretty cool heh?

@Solvinden Had this problem for a long time as well. I now cook my own meals twice a day and replace my lunch meal with something like: Rice, Kidney beans, Almonds, Spinach, Chia seeds, Salsa You just have to get creative with creating your own meals and see why this is important for you. Watching SimnetNutrition, a vegan youtuber, really helped me transition into full vegan while still being able to do muscle building, freerunning, jogging. Even more amazing is that now that I am vegan, it feels like I can even do those activities more easily because now without gluten, meat, etc my body doesn't feel so heavy and groggy. Moving my body feels more effortless than ever. I do like to eat Buckwheat bread with some honey on top of it from time to time. But luckily buckwheat is gluten-free so it doesn't effect energy levels very much.

@Shroomdoctor lol

@Saumaya Is it worth watching Naruto ;)?

@Mrkvn8 I've now since a couple of weeks switched to a complete vegan diet while also trying to leave out gluten whenever I can. I feel amazing and my energy levels have increased a ton. You are also right on the fact that I was going through a lot of emotional turmoil and defragmentation. I still am, and sometimes it can be really exhausting. The positive about it is that I'm really transforming into an entirely different human being, it's quite amazing.

@Sunchild just paste the youtube link, that’ll work

I like being vegan. My body feels great and light. I actually feel like jumping and running all the time. Because of this I got inspired to pick up Freerunning and do Calisthentics I love animals and feel more connected to them than ever before Vegans eat real good, like REAL GOOD. Meals are so damn tasty. Food gives me energy and I look forward to eating, rather than taking time out of my day to eat and waiting long before it has settled to start being productive again I learned to cook my own food and I feel really excited to find more recipes and explore stuff Fuck being vegan is awesome

I was live there when he was talking about this. Man.. this guy gives off energy, it's unbelievable

@Michael569 Which greens would you say are good replacements of spinach? Right now I switch it up with Broccoli and Arugula

@Psyche_92 Ahh man, that combo is deadly and I know everything about it

@Shin See what you did there

@Nahm Such an easy haircut. I can imagine that being really nice I might grow out my hair when I’m able to produce a beard, and get some hipster going

@egoeimai Lately your posts seem like you are frustrated or annoyed. Is there anything I can do for you?

@Joseph Maynor +1 I would also add snowy mountain terrain, something like Canada. And also rainforest with a lot of trees that can be climbed

What I'm working on is not instantly dismissing any of these listed above and other phenomena that I don't consider 'real'. If I haven't encountered the reality of the thing, how can I judge it to be non-existent? That would just be believing in my own conceptual bubble that I consider 'able to happen'.

@Olsson Caffeine messing with your energy levels is one of the negative side effects I know of. When you are doing a lot of personal development, consciousness-work, etc. you don't want to have these highs and lows in your energy level. You want solid stable energy levels throughout your day so it doesn't affect what you want to accomplish and hinder your productivity Since I really love coffee though, I drink bullet-proof. I know what must be in there isn't too healthy but I can be ok with that.

@Shin Glad I’m not the only one

@Shin You ever watched Interstellar and Inception? Those films are crazy good

Since getting on the path of self-actualization and consciousness-work, I’ve made some big changes in my life that most people can’t stomach and find weird. Meditating, eating healthy, being authentic, etc. It seems the more I grow, the more I become an outcast and lose friends. I know this is part of the Hero’s journey and will inevitably happen, but do you guys have some tips on how to stomach this pain of being found weird?

I've been noticing that contemplating is way easier if I write down concrete answers because when I just sit with my eyes closed, there can be all kinds of distractions that keep me from really focusing on the question and the given answer (if there is one) Is there something at fault with this technique or way of contemplation, or is it a viable way? I only do this with contemplating my shadow though. When I do self-inquiry my session is more meditation-like

@Shin Will give it a shot.

@Joseph Maynor I really like writing or typing stuff because, like you say, answers and hidden beliefs, emotions, reasons, assumptions, just come to the surface so effortlessly. Answers come organically

@Lynnel Have you thought of the possibility that this could be your life calling ? Feeling the need of having something on the marketplace or in society, could be a good clue as to what you want to give back to the world. @Saumaya I really like that approach. Everyone is just putting their mind and imagination towards what they want to accomplish. The thing here is that I hugely underestimate how ignorant I am as supposed to other people that are living a totally different way. When I see someone getting smashed on the weekends and talking shit about other people behind their back, this huge sensation in my stomach comes up, I start thinking hateful about that person as to how ignorant and petty he is Deep in my heart I know this is wrong since this person just doesn't know what he is doing and is suffering but I find it hard to be compassionate towards them I just want to be able to be compassionate towards everyone and wish them the best because I feel really passionate about that but these feelings of hate and comparing their actions as supposed to my actions really gets in the way. @Shin I have resistance to waiting for me to start feeling this way naturally though. I want to act compassionately towards everyone starting right now. But there is just so much things blocking my way, as I pointed out above.

@Saumaya Great comment. I do unconsciously hold the belief that what I'm doing is somehow special and makes me 'superior' than someone who is not busy developing them-self in some way. I can be quite honest about that. I just don't know how to break that belief and actually start seeing everyone as equal, regardless of what they believe or not believe, do or not do. How do I do that?
