save the frogs

God Almighty is the main god. God Short-pants is his underling.

do you have a link from a reputable source to back up that claim?

you people are dogmatically telling me who the great masters are and who i should be studying. it's just your opinion. i read a couple of quotes from khalil gibran that impressed me more than yogananda's or seth's quotes. i'm taking a hiatus here. i actually do not enjoy being an ahole.

trans involves surgery and altering the human body. not a black or white simple issue.

So what? So he's not the spiritual master you make him out to be. And you're deluded about how effective or useful or truthful those teachings actually are.

my impression from reading that quote is that he is telling people how to 'scam' their way into a woman's pants. anyway, we are living in parallel universes. as everyone interprets everything around them differently. to some people, he's a guru. to me, he looks like a fake.

another hooker thread! long overdue.

I've been digging up a bit more dirt on this yogananda dude. seems like he was indeed quite the womanizer, as all cult leaders are. here's the quote at 12:06 of the video. "If a woman doesn't want sex, tell her she is not like other women."

no, don't give me homework man! i'm too cool for skool.

Nutrition is rather complex. And science seems to be inconclusive and/or contradictory in some aspects of health. This is why you can find doctors/nutritionists debating each other online. They simply cannot agree on everything. That's why I have learned to try not to be too dogmatic about my beliefs regarding nutrition. And my beliefs change over time. So at some point, you have to take in information and make up your own mind. I'm outta here.

I think Yogananda claimed his body survived 40 days after physical death. Ha ha. Why do you want to join the ashram? I want to become a guru so girls will like me.

perhaps it was rude to assume he drinks alcohol. and yes, he might be disabled. my apologies then.

Sorry if you find this post useless. Maybe his condition is so bad that none of this information is useful. But I believe the body is remarkably resilient. Go see doctors. AND also doctor yourself as much as possible. Get him off the alcohol. Not one more drop of alcohol allowed. Get him off junk food as much as possible. Maybe have him take some supplements - Vitamin B-Complex, Vitamin K2 is good for arteries Get him to go for daily brisk walks. Start with 5 minutes. Can he walk 5 minutes without being too much out of breath? Increase slowly to 10 minutes and keep increasing to 45 minutes or an hour a day without making it too strenuous.

yeah, ok. i did. i looked up some of his quotes. here's a real doozy. "cosmic energy enters the body through the medulla and then passes through the cerebrum, in which it is stored". holy cow! so since you are a devotee of this person, you must have a lot of "cosmic energy" stored in you? how many kilojoules of "cosmic energy" do you have stored in you? give me a number. 2 million kilojoules? you're using this FAKE spiritual nonsense to try to show that you are "MORE SPIRITUAL" than others. just like the guy who has more money and a fancier car likes to show off his wealth. it's NONSENSE. you're a DELUDED FAKE.

those darn shirtless drinkers again!

I did keto for a while, then i started to add back carbs. because i came to the conclusion it's not healthy long-term. so we agree on that point. one thing I noticed is that the keto folks tend to supplement with electrolyte powders. so that means keto is a deficient diet. and where do most electrolytes come from? fruit. also, is calcium an elecrolyte? not sure, but you need dairy for calcium. so I started eating a lot of fruit. most of my carbs are from fruit. not sure if i'm eating too much fruit. quantities is tricky. some doctors are anti-fruit because they say too much fructose if bad for the liver. i eat some dairy, which has some carbs. i eat a couple of tablespoons of raw honey, which has some carbs. but the fruit and honey also help to curb appetite for unhealthy sweets. most people have a sweet tooth. if they don't eat the only healthy sweets available (fruit and honey), they will end up eating cakes and ice cream and coca-cola. not a fan of brown rice. i think it's undigestible. maybe white rice is ok. not sure. most bread in supermarkets is made with unhealthy oils. but from a nutritional standpoint, fruit is more nutritionally dense than white rice. fruits have a bunch of vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants. compared to white rice, which seems mostly like empty calories to me. and again, the fruits have the added advantage that they help stop cravings for cakes and ice cream. also, mcdougall's recommendations for macro ratios seem inaccurate. too low in (healthy) fat and protein, too high in carbs. and also, i'm not fat but neither do i get my bloodwork done. so i am not really recommending my diet. i just came to this diet based on what i read. and it seems the most sensible to me.

thanks for the tip. i'll see if I can find some.

he's in luck. we have Freudian psychoanalysts on this forum.

eat meat for B vitamins. eat fruit for vitamin C. a banana has magnesium, but not sure if it's enough for daily needs. not saying you shouldn't supplement, but maybe also find out which foods contain these vitamins. cheap supplements have fillers which are harmful.

it's called Believaholics.

yes, ok let's use logic instead of science. since science is constantly contradicting itself. fat indian people eat a lot of ghee, therefore ghee makes them fat. but farang people do not eat a lot of ghee, therefore ghee makes them fat? just messing with you a bit.

there are healthy fats and unhealthy fats. unhealthy fats cause all kinds of problems. ghee is considered a healthy fat by all non-misinformation health folks. if you don't eat ANY healthy fats, you will also have problems. for instance, your testosterone levels will be low if you don't eat healthy fats. so just blaming weight gain on eating ghee is inaccurate. of course you can eat too much of the healthy fats. but i think very few people are getting too much of the healthy fats. most people are probably not getting enough of the healthy fats and consuming too much of the crappy fats. all foods in supermarkets use crappy fats and restaurants use crappy fats to save money.

maybe not the rice. but maybe not the ghee either. maybe the naan bread? lol.

yeah man . let me know if you get wind of a parallel universe where we can live off fruit, pizza, beer, and cakes and never get diabetes.
