The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

How to Become the Person You've Always Wanted to Be?

6 hours ago

—

You want always to become somebody that you are not… and which is not connected to your true self…And that never will work… You see kids playing to be superstars, firefighters, cowboys, or famous football stars, famous singers… You can be only you. Everybody has a mission and if you do not live your mission… This means not everybody can become a superstar or super wealthy, super clever … There is a core inside of you, that you can’t change. The real solution is not to change yourself, it is about reconnecting with your true self. Zen: Become who you were before you took birth. And we think that is not enough… If you reconnect with yourself, your life becomes extraordinary in every aspect... Total creative, you become joyful in the things that you do. Sure you will also have challenging times where you learn the things that are needed. Instead, we put on a mask, change our persona, and pretend to be super cool, super masculine, cute, well-behaved, well controlled …! The reality is we have a shadow, that is undesirable and that we try to suppress ... Because we want to be super cool and not to feel our anger, frustration, sadness… We think nobody would love us if we showed our real emotions instead of suppressing them. We get more and more frustrated that nobody understands us, that we are together with the wrong people … Our relationships are doomed because we are together with the person who fits our self-created persona instead of our true self. How can anybody understand us, when we make our show instead of being authentic and showing our emotions, and vulnerability? I have never done a show, because I wanted to be together with the people that fit me… And Dishonesty was never an option for me! I was together with the people that were fitting to me. And I am super emotional. 3 questions Where do I cringe or what makes me uncomfortable? Something makes you uncomfortable that can be bad… use that where you do have a deficit. Who is the influence I ‘am trying to be, or where are you sourcing your persona from? You have an idol, but you never can be your idol… Why are you frustrated that you can’t get the success like your idol…? You can’t be perfect every moment and this is true also for your idol! Your emotions/motivations are continuously changing… You can’t be the superman every moment! And if you accept that, one day is good and one day is bad, then everything is okay. If you don’t accept that, you suppress your emotions and that sabotages your success. What part of me is not okay? Write it down and learn to accept that. You can only change when you accept your shortcomings! What is your shame or guilt?

Why a single mother can’t find a new spouse?

1 day ago

—

A single mother has up to 95% (it depends on the country) fewer chances to find a new spouse… Why? The main focus on the single mother is on her child … And that will never work out for any good relationship. The most important part of our life should be our spouse. (A. Robinson) The child is jealous of the new boyfriend. Because the new boyfriend is getting more attention from her mother at certain moments. In any marry tale we read about the wicked step-mother or step-father… The reality is that the child is hostile against every step-father or step-mother. The step-father has never any chances to get accepted from the child if the mother is not encouraging that. In a conflict, the mother is playing out her child against her new spouse. The spouse is alone fighting against the child and the mother… And afterward, the spouse is hostile against the child. Never use your child as a weapon!!! The step-father has to support the child and can’t teach the child any morality or any life-strategy. Because he is not the father. And the child will not follow up because: 1.) It is hostile to the step-father. 2.) To adapt to any morality or life-strategy is difficult and if it is not his loving father, the kid, even more, dislikes to adapt… The stepfather has to support the child and has less power over that child … Which father wants to be in that terrible situation? When the new spouse is giving the kid new life-strategies, the mother has to encourage the kid until the kid is doing what the step-father wants. The life-strategies should be good, and the life-strategies do not need to be the same as the mother’s life-strategies. It is very hard to understand for any mother that there exist men who have a higher living standard than themselves. Because nearly every mother thinks that she is perfect…. If the mother thinks she is perfect and superior to her spouse,- there is no chance that this relationship will work out. If the relationship ends the step-father will lose both… Ask yourself as a single mother: For what is the new spouse? Do you really want to corporate and enforce the kid to corporate with the new spouse? If the relationship between your kid and new spouse is not working out, there is no chance to have a good relationship!!!

What is shamanism?

2 days ago

—

Shamanism is not a Religion but a healing based on generosity. Some years ago, when I was on the Rainbow festival in Munich, I meditated on a bench… A man in an American Indian custom liked to join me.- As an introvert, I didn’t feel so good, I thought he is a freak… And this man was starting to talk with me, very humble … We had common ground to save and heal the environment/world. After some time, the press was coming and taking pictures of this famous shaman. The Shamanism got misinterpreted through all kinds of Religion. The spiritual power of the Shaman should be witch-power, that is nonsense. What heals is in any case good regardless of what it is! The Shaman is going through specific rituals in trance and enters a spiritual world to heal. Mostly used are drum rhythms, dancing or drugs. For 10,000 years, the Shamanism has developed and created time-tested methods that are to 90% used by all different kind of shamanism. For instance, the Tibetan use similar shamanism methods like the Africans or American Indians. The Shaman like to cure traumas, depression, anxiety, autism, diseases caused by a lack of power, bad luck and being accused. And he cures the patients when he connects them with the patient original spiritual power and balances their energies. Without the Shaman the patient can’t do that. When we read the stories from “Don Juan” written by Carlos Castaneda,- we read again and again how Don Juan (Shaman) alters the state of mind to connect Carlos with a spiritual realm. We all experience different states of our mind during the day and can go in hypnoses through a simple mp3. Through hypnosis, we can alter our history, get rid of different anxieties or change our mindset… Actually so different or unknown is not Shamanism. Still, Shamanism is much more than trance or hypnosis. A Shaman can: Alter his state of consciousness at will. Can communicate between the needs of the spiritual world and the physical world. You can’t get anything for free. If the Shaman wants to heal through the spiritual world he has to give energy as exchange… A Spirit of the spiritual world can heal the patient. The healing depends on the Spirit and not of the Shaman. The Shaman is just asking the Spirit for help. We can read about the different animal powers that a Shaman can use and that we have also a specific animal power in the inside of us. It sounds weird when it helps what is bad about that? Still, I can believe in God and use shamanism as healing. What is wrong with that? I have made some shamanism rituals like the sweat lodge that was very powerful.

Why Do People Over 60 Avoid Others?

4 days ago

—

When we get older we want and need more time for ourselves and to reflect on ourselves. When we are young we need to interact with many people. To experience something new. To exchange our opinions/experiences with others. To get friends. To partying. To get group experiences. To be together with same-minded people. Not to be alone and isolated. To love. After, we have all these experiences we want more time for ourselves and not to be distracted. Having many friends means that we lose our energy for maintaining friendships and to contact regularly our friends … How to make that when you have your own family? Time is limited. At 65, I found out that stepping back from relationships that don’t give me a lot… It is about protecting my peace, valuing my time, and focusing on what truly matters. So the older you become the more precious becomes your time. Your time becomes limited. Relationships are changing and solitude has become a source of joy rather than loneliness. Times feel more precious than ever. Time is no longer infinitive. When we were younger we thought we had all the time in the world. We wasted time on: Meaningless conversations. Relationships that didn’t fulfill us Or meaningless obligations. And now every moment feels like a gift. This shift doesn’t come from fear but from wisdom. Time is the foundation of how I choose to live my life. Every moment becomes more important. A good conversation feels deeper fulfilling. Moments of silence feel good. Don’t waste time on meaningless conversations. Discriminate is this worth my energy and time… When not go! Does it bring me joy, is it in alignment with my values… When not go… We want Meaningful conversations where we can express ourselves fully so can do the other. No waste of our time. Let go of what never serves you… Focus on what matters. Time is what you do with that. If you value time you shift your life. Relationships change and so do we… Most relationships are not for your entire life. Some relationships nurture you while others deplete you. Apply the 80/20 rule. This means you get with 20% of your efforts, 80% of your results. So let go of the 80% that doesn’t give you the fulfillment. We got hurt by people that we trusted. Disappointed by those I relied on. Distance from family members whose path is in a different direction from my path. People change so you do and let go of what doesn’t fit anymore. A good relationship is balanced between giving and receiving. Do they listen to you as much as they speak to you? Reduce your friends to people that matter for you. And don’t regret the friends that you separate from… Value your time. Don’t hold on to friends/ family members out of guilt or obligation. Trust is what we should give when it is deserved instead of risking failures or cheating. Walk away from toxic relationships and trust that this is okay. Check the person again and again and build up so trust. Trust is also to trust your intuition. Simplicity Today relationships are feeling unnatural through social media… Nobody has time, to text when speaking, even after intercourses doing direct social media. Instead of being physically together without distraction from social media… Today that is rare! The results are isolation… People feel isolated. Slow down and focus on the things that you do without rushing! 5. Solitude isn’t Loneliness Solitude and Loneliness are two entirely different things. Loneliness is an ache, an emotion that comes from longing for connection. Solitude is a choice, a space for peace, reflection, and renewal, to look inward. To accept the situation you are in, your thoughts and emotions. To learn from mistakes instead of beating yourself up. Find gratitude for the things that you got… My Video: Why Do People Over 60 Avoid Others? https://youtu.be/jn9il4Atsvg My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Why-Do-People-Over-60-Avoid-Others.mp3…

How to make new friends?

5 days ago

—

So older we grow so more difficult it gets to make friends. For our well being, most of the people need good friends. Today through our social media we have fewer friends and more virtually friends. The people are more connected to the Internet than to their friends and family. Our new Facebook friends are not real friends. If we try to meet them, to >90% it will not work out. On vacations, it is easier to get friends and when we come home, the new friends stay far away… This will not work for most friendships… Even so on vacation, the people are much different than in their daily life. We need friends where we live and not far away. It is easier to get a romantic love affair because we can connect with our senses and our mind is not in the way…. Action Plan: 1.) Do it blind… Ask your family/friends if they know somebody in your location which could fit you…. And date that person… 2.) Share your hobbies, - my favorite Go to local events or clubs and meet new people…. 3.) We all know a bunch of people and didn’t get personal… Ask personal questions and connect with the people. Look what you have in common and connect. 4.) Goal setting: Go to an event/party and connect with not more than 3 people… So more people we try to connect so less our chances to make at least one friend. 5.) Try to connect with a smile and then speak to the unknown person… It works! 6.) Be open to all kinds of people… Don’t limit yourself,- even it is a freak you don’t like. Maybe he, she has something common or something that you like to be or not to be.

Distraction leads to depression

6 days ago

—

Why? Our time is limited. To waste time is the worst sin. (Mata Amritanandamayi) Because nobody can postpone his death! I have helped quite a lot of people who are wasting their time: 1.) For seeing TV. 2.) On a smartphone. 3.) Social media. 4.) Gambling The people who I could not help ended in deep depression, frustration and even took suicide. When we are looking for distraction, we have the desire not to feel or think about that matters for us. With the distraction, we suppress our disturbing feelings and thoughts. Because of distraction, we: 1.) procrastinate on our work and leisure time; 2.) get too less sleep; 3.) can’t get all the things done; 4.) have too less time for our family and friends; 5.) lose focus; 6.) ignore what we should do to improve; 7.) do not feel at all and become a Zombie or a person that will remain in his frustration for the rest of his life; 8.) become drug addicted. After some time we have suppressed a lot of necessary information to change something for the good. After a long time, we are just like a garbage bag, full of negativity that will result in frustration or depression. If we would enjoy our life, we would not look for a distraction. Because we don’t have the time for that. And you think just a little distraction will not harm you? It will harm you because everything starts with the first step. The first step in the wrong direction will trigger the next step… And then to stop and to change the direction becomes more and more difficult. When we want to change our direction to become more mindful our negativity will surface. - It becomes a vicious circuit. I have spoken with the best drug addiction therapists (Veeresh, Humaniversity) in the world… The problem with the drug addiction is the suppressed negative feelings gathered over a long time… If the drug addicted person wants to change, the suppressed negative feelings showing up and hinder so. A small change in their personality requires a huge fight… For what? How to get rid of distraction? When you feel overloaded, stressfully…: Make sport, dancing, or better release your negative feelings… Afterward, meditate or sleep. Look what you enjoy this very moment. Feel your pain and let it go. Life is painful and life is many times for everybody hard. Remember, through our hardships, we learn the best.

Quotes Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

7 days ago

—

The sign of intelligence is that you are constantly wondering. Idiots are always dead sure about every damn thing they are doing in their life. If you resist change, you resist life. When pain, misery, or anger happen, it is time to look within you, not around you. The fear is simply because you are not living with life, You are living in your mind. The planet is spinning on time: not a small event. All the galaxies are managing fine; the whole cosmos is doing great. But you have one nasty little thought crawling through your head, and it is a bad day! The problem is you are living in a psychological space that bears no connection with reality. And you are insecure, because it can collapse at any moment. Every moment there are a million miracles happening around you: a flower blossoming, a bird tweeting, a bee humming, a raindrop falling, a snowflake wafting along the clear evening air. There is magic everywhere. If you learn how to live it, life is nothing short of a daily miracle. Krishna says in the Gita, “The worst crime in the world is indecision. If you think you are big, you become small. If you know you are nothing, you become unlimited. That’s the beauty of being a human being. Everything that ever happened to you, you experienced right within you. Light and darkness, pain and pleasure, agony and ecstasy—all of it happened within you. If someone touches your hand right now, you may think you are experiencing their hand, but the fact of the matter is you are only experiencing the sensations in your own hand. The whole experience is contained within. All human experience is one hundred percent self-created. I am not talking about you being a spectator, I am talking about involvement. I am talking about involving yourself into life in such a way that you dissolve into it. Learning to listen is the essence of intelligent living. Sex in the body is fine. Money in the wallet is fine. It is only a problem when they enter your mind. when I say spiritual, I am talking about you beginning to experience that which is not physical. Once this spiritual dimension is alive, once you start experiencing yourself beyond the limitations of the physical and the mental, only then there’s no such thing as fear. Fear is just the creation of an overactive and out-of-control mind. If you think hundred percent logically, there is really no possibility of life.

How to get humiliated?

8 days ago

—

But I don’t want!!! That is the best way to get humiliated, it not to want. It is better when you don’t care to lose your face or not… The anxiety to lose our face is unnecessary … It is one of the greatest obstacles in our life the fear to lose our face! Some examples… One of the greatest life coaches saw his dream partner… He went straight toward her and admitted: My heart is beating like crazy. I am so nervous to see you and to speak to you… One week later, they were married. As a pupil, I was shy, and I (16 years old) attended a dancing class. Somehow, I failed to do something and I had to choose a girl to dance the tango in front of 160 people … When I looked at a girl, she instantly turned away… I was stuttering… it got worse. And then I went to the female dance instructor and asked her to dance with me… All were laughing, I turned red… Still, it had helped me a lot. As a student, I had to speak in front of 300 students. I started to stutter… Messed up, got angry and then I could speak fluently… What you see on these examples, first you get humiliated and then the things what you want. We take ourselves too seriously and that is our problem. One famous Therapist (Veeresh, Humaniversity): Demanded that we should go on the marketplace in our town (Bremen) and do the weirdest thing to get attention….. I have done some very crazy Qigong exercises: to be a bird and to fly… It was so crazy… And afterward, I felt so free… like that flying bird… We have built our jail by ourselves and only we can break that jail. Most of the inventors got humiliated for their ideas… For instance, Christoph Columbus intended to prove that the world is not a disk. We have in us a 3 years old child and our superego (6-year-old child). Our 3 years old kid wants to have fun, sex, and Rock n’Roll. Our superego wants to fit perfectly in the society and wants that everybody is taking him seriously. And that superego is our hindrance: 1.) to have fun, 2.) to become successful, 3.) to get the things that we want… Get rid of your fears to get humiliated and do the things that will humiliate you… Afterward, you will be so thankful and happy that you have done so. If you do it in the right way you feel that a heavy burden of personality is released. You will celebrate that day. Maybe it will be the best day of your life!

What is Spirituality?

9 days ago

—

The Buddhists reject all kind of Spirituality, they want only Nirvana… And all Spirituality is a distraction from their purpose to go to Nirvana… the extinction of the ego. Nirvana should be perfect peace and calmness. Even to feel bliss and love is a distraction… It never has existed the destruction or extinction of the ego during our life or afterward… Like all the other Religions the Buddhists like to sell dreams and to suck out the people. Still, the teaching and techniques from the Buddhists are good. So why we should not enjoy or gain our Spirituality? And what is True Spirituality? We have read or even seen Magic or people who have gained Magic and exhibit their Magic. Imagine, you have kidney stones and you go to a Philippine Healer and he removes the kidney stones without surgery. And then you see that the Philippine healers are pursuit from the authority for their wrongdoing… This means magic healing is forbidden and black magic?!! When the doctors are vaccinating with 14 vaccines a baby and 65% of the babies getting chronicle ill then this is SCIENCE? What is White Magic? If we discover this very endless moment where we can embrace the irresistible whole being… we are mad or insane for the doctor… maybe they deliver us to a madhouse… Regardless of what kind of Spirituality we experience it is denied, forbidden or rejected. The Africans are beating the drums, singing and dancing like crazy to experience a spiritual helper in the animal realm. During the dancing, the Africans going into a trance, healing occurs… For the Missionaries is this evil. If the Christian Africans dancing and singing like crazy and experience the Lord, then this is awesome… During the African worship of Jesus healing and many miracles happen. And this Spirituality is accepted by the church… The demonstration of Spirituality to gain power or money is rather more Black Magic. And we should not waste our time on that! If we see the awesome Kung Fu fighters who have magical power without that they surrender their life to the Lord or to heal the people, then this is Black Magic too. We can easily gain great spiritual and healing power through Qigong. Even Qigong is connected to Kung Fu. It is more important what we do with our spiritual power than what kind of spiritual power we do have. Through meditation, we gain awesome Spirituality without harming anybody. And everybody is gaining his natural Spirituality without forcing anything. When we suddenly embrace blissful the irresistible whole being and are in trance, then that has happened through our spiritual practice (meditation, yoga, Qigong) naturally. And we should be grateful without telling anybody about that… I don’t want that you get in trouble, - enjoy and be grateful. Still, I think that the best is to be connected to God and have faith in God. Read my book: Why the Religions have failed and not God? (Why don’t exist Hell, Paradise, Moksha, Nirvana, and Enlightenment?)

Why do the Japanese live longer?

10 days ago

—

The Life Expectancy of a Japanese is 84.75 years. Only Monaco has a higher Life Expectancy of 89.75 years. Never the less Japan has over 50000 people over 100 years old… They are thinner, working harder and best until they die… Without a purpose, nobody can live long… The Japanese are well known for their focus and goal setting. And the purpose should not chase for excitement. The purpose should be based on honesty and good outcome regardless if this is boring… And the Japanese are very honest. Attitude is everything. Dishonest people can’t see where they are wrong and can’t so live on an optimum… If we are honest and if we want to be happy we don’t look for short time happiness or a short time gratification. We look for a healthy lifestyle. The Japanese products are famous for their quality and last a long time. People who are working and don’t care for the outcome live shorter because their focus is on short time satisfaction/happiness. Why? If we focus on a good outcome we focus also to live long… Because we want to gain from our work in the long term, that means a longer life. The Diet of the Japanese is a good mixture of rice, veggies, and fish. The Japanese avoid high-calorie food and eat easy to digest food. … For sure the Japanese don’t eat that awful pizza (pizza needs over one-day digestion… ) or tarts… Still, 90% of the population use a Microwave oven. And the Japanese are thinner than the average person from Europe, America, and Thailand… The Japanese (90% of the adults, 98% of the kids) love to walk or to ride on a bicycle to their work/school…and love to exercise … The Japanese care for the elderly, parents and grandparents. They learn easy to socialize and go often out with their colleges … The separation between work and leisure time is not so much.

Shocking Prediction on 2025 by Sadhguru

11 days ago

—

18 or 19 months ago, it all began… When solar flares increase, they significantly impact the planet's magnetic field and the level of radiation emitted. This, in turn, has serious consequences for Earth and all living beings. Our autonomic nervous system is heavily affected by solar flares. Additionally, they impact our digestive system and breathing processes. This is scientifically proven. What’s even more concerning is that solar flares are expected to reach a very high intensity over the next five years. When solar activity rises to such levels, it can lead to: - Increased mortality, - Disease outbreaks, - Wars, - Psychological imbalances, - Turmoil in human life, - And upheavals in animal life. This is because solar flares affect our nervous system, digestive system, pulmonary system, and essentially everything in our bodies. For spiritual seekers, however, this is a transformative time. Over the next four years, these conditions can profoundly change our being. When I completed the Kailash Kora last year, it changed my life. Could the increased solar flares have amplified this impact? This period could lead to either global realization or global disasters. Will nations turn against each other and resort to violence? We can use this energy for transformation and self-realization, or we can succumb to chaos, harming and killing one another. For yogis, the heightened solar activity—especially solar flares—is an opportune time for inner transformation, even though it brings so much turmoil to the world. The choice is yours: go inward or get crushed under the weight of external chaos. There will inevitably be more pain, death, and challenges, but you can use this time for your own spiritual growth. Platforms like Facebook and other social media are distractions that can pull you away from your spiritual path. The choice is yours… My Video: Shocking Prediction on 2025 by Sadhguru https://youtu.be/fI1FLo7fwZI My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Shocking-Prediction-on-2025-by-Sadhguru.mp3…

What is the Gear Acquisition Syndrome?

12 days ago

—

The Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) is the all-consuming desire to expand our collection of gear. People became bankrupt, divorced and took suicide through their GAS. The idea is that we need the best equipment to make the best… The reason might be if our equipment is not good enough we are not good enough. Or we are unsatisfied and think that we can buy happiness, peace of mind… How does GAS start? We imagine: We have bought that top camera and after some time we see better cameras. There exist never any good camera for every application… Still, we think the grass is greener at the neighbors garden… Instead of shooting pictures we search the Internet for better equipment. Finally, we find the camera or lens and we imagine that we could be much better with that camera or lens. We get obsessed with our desire instead to shoot more pictures with our not perfect equipment. And then we read all the reviews of that particular lens… some are good, some are bad… We get paralyzed… What to do? Ignore the bad reviews and to buy it in any way or even on credit? We ring all shops to find our desired lens. Finally, we find the right shop. We drive our car like a madman. We arrive sweating this shop and ask to try that lens on our camera… But the shop owner denies… that is too risky…. He gives us his camera and we can shoot only inside. We are so nervous that our hands are shaking and the pictures are blurred… Still, we know that this lens will change our life for the best…. We start to bargain, and we can’t concentrate on that, because we are too identified… Finally, we get that lens with a 5% discount. We feel guilty that we have bought this overpriced lens. And we can’t shoot that awesome pictures like the Pros… We start to hate ourselves and our lens. After some time we accept our lens… We start to save money on everything because we are nearly bankrupt. What to do? When I am identified with any material good that I desire, I don’t purchase anything. Because identification is always wrong for any material thing, not so with love or God. If you have a spouse or friend ask him to control your money. Give yourself the permission never to spend on one single thing over a specific amount.. like $300. Instead of spending money for expensive equipment travel around. And imagine to travel with heavy equipment is no fun at all… Instead to buy better equipment to learn on your specific subject. For instance lesson in music will bring more benefit than an expensive guitar or learn Adobe Photoshop instead to get better camera gear! Practice more. Ask yourself why you are not happy?

8 strategies to lose easier weight…

13 days ago

1.) Mindfulness If we start to become mindful (without judging) what we eat then our body lose weight. The worst case is always to judge yourself or to give yourself a bad consciousness for the things that you are doing or aren’t doing. Because a bad consciousness can keep us in any bad habit forever. First, make a diary about everything that you eat on a daily basis. If possible get a small scale and measure the quantity. Second, accept your bad habits for gaining weight. For instance: 6:00 - 6:30 AM Workout with stretching and Qigong 6:30 - 7:00 AM Meditation 7 o’clock, breakfast with a green smoothy, (200g bananas, 50g salad, 300g pears, 100g orange, 150g Kefir milk, 1tbsp honey), 7:30 AM 7 Km Bicycle ride, medium speed against the wind to your working place. 10 AM one medium apple and 2 big size bananas. 2.) Look, that you eat a lot of fiber. Choose full grain flour over normal flour for all food with grains. For instance: brown rice or basmati rice. Never eat white sugar again. Instead choose honey, brown sugar,… Food with fiber will satisfy our appetite without adding too many calories. 3.) Don’t eat industrially processed food like the tomato ketchup, instead, put the fresh tomatoes into a fruit mixer… Cooked tomatoes are very acid and so bad. With industrially processed food, it is impossible to trust our appetite. Because the industrially processed food has ingredients that block our barriers to stop eating so that we overeat. Remember, we need fresh vitamins and enzymes and not that garbage food. 4.) Probiotic. We need for a good digestion a healthy gut flora and that we get through Probiotic. All of our food has ingredients that kill our healthy gut flora. Every day, even I (as a raw cost eater) eat fermented vegetables or Kimchi as a Probiotic. Kefir milk is a Probiotic, too. Understand, 90% of Chinese/South Asian have a milk allergy. When You can’t eat that, take Probiotic. With Probiotic your health and immune system will become much better. 5.) Sleep better and longer to lower your stress level. A lack of sleep will increase our stress level… A higher stress level will cause that you eat more. 6.) Suppressed sex will lead to fatness. When the males and females don’t enjoy sex they eat more… So more corpulent a female is so less sexual arousal will the female feel. More sex will lead also to a lower stress level… Sex is good for you. 7.) Exercise more that will lower your food consumption and your stress level. Instead of exercising your jaw (for eating) exercise more of the rest of your body. 8.) Instead of focusing on only your weight loss, focus on your healthy lifestyle. It is always so if we focus only on our goal we sabotage ourselves. The path is our goal. And so we relax! How do we do it? I hope with fun@!

Spinoza’s God: The Mind-Blowing Philosophy

14 days ago

—

Spinoza, born in Amsterdam in 1632, refused to blindly follow the rigid religious dogmas of his day, arguing instead that everyone should take his or her own path in deciding what to believe. Spinoza's beliefs can be likened to those in Hinduism, yet he seems to overlook the beauty of the Hindu religion. Hinduism is rich and well-suited for many different types of people, which is something that seems to be missing in Spinoza’s philosophy. He loathed groupthink and believed that most organized religions, particularly the Judeo-Christian kind, fueled delusion and sectarianism. At the heart of his critique was the view that religious authorities had radically misconceived what God actually is, distorting truth and corrupting the minds of their followers. They had fallen for the illusion of an anthropocentric God: an external being acting upon the world of human affairs, intervening according to His whims. In this view, God resembled a king. For Spinoza, however, this conception of God, prevalent in Christianity and Judaism, could not have been further from the truth. God was not “like a man, consisting of a body and a mind, and subject to passions,” he wrote. That view was “superstitious” and contrary to true faith. Furthermore, believers in such a deity were motivated more by fear than by virtue. The terror of divine wrath was not a healthy foundation upon which to build one’s religion; the framework of salvation and damnation led to emotional instability that was incompatible with a virtuous life. In a letter to a young man named Albert Burgh, a recent convert to Catholicism (and later mayor of Amsterdam), Spinoza wrote: “Having become a slave to [the Roman] church, you have been guided not so much by the love of God as by fear of hell.” There were few institutions more adept, he added, at “deceiving ordinary people and controlling men’s minds.” Spinoza argued that whatever exists is in God. The divine being is not some distant force, but is all around us. Nothing in nature is separate from Him: neither people, animals, nor inanimate objects. Today, the view that God is synonymous with nature is called “pantheism,” a term often retrospectively applied to Spinoza. Whatever the label, this view has been portrayed as a denial of God’s transcendent power. Spinoza was accused of denying the ontological difference between God and His creations, thereby trivializing the creator. However, Spinoza’s philosophy does not trivialize God in the slightest. It is true that in his conception, God is intimately bound up with nature. But just because God is not separate from the world does not mean He is identical to it. In fact, He is distinct, as there is a relationship of dependence that flows in one direction: we are constitutionally dependent on God, but God is not dependent on us, argues Spinoza. For Spinoza, everything we are, and indeed the continued existence of all things, is a manifestation of God’s power. Carlisle uses the term “being-in-God” to describe this aspect of Spinoza’s thought: the way we are created by—and conceived through—God. In some respects, Spinoza was following a well-established Christian tradition in his conception of the divine. The 8th-century monk John of Damascus said that “toward God all things tend, and in God they have their existence.” Augustine wrote in the 4th century AD that “all things are in God,” a view later echoed by Aquinas. Spinoza, in turn, echoed them all and traced the line of thinking further back to a contemporary of Jesus: “That all things are in God and move in God, I affirm, I say, with Paul.” Anselm wrote: “In You I move and in You I have my being,” expanding on this thought: “You, though nothing can be without You, are nevertheless not in place or time, but all things are in You. For nothing contains You, but You contain all things.” It may sound unusual, yet it resonates with those who have experienced an out-of-body experience or lost the identification with their body. Being in God is not only an ontological reality but also a spiritual imperative. Anselm states: “I pray, O God, that I may know You and love You, so that I may rejoice in You.” Everything exists in God, but we can participate more fully in the divine nature through reason and our intuitive understanding of God’s omnipresence. The more we manage to do this, the higher the state of joy we can attain, bringing us closer to sharing in perfection. Additionally, there is a real-world ethical dimension to being in God. Spinoza’s faith has practical significance, guiding the believer’s actions. He writes: “The good which everyone who seeks virtue wants for himself, he also desires for other people; and this desire is greater as his knowledge of God is greater.” True religion consists in the exercise of loving kindness. Of course, Spinoza and his forebears differ on many questions: the existence of angels, the afterlife, and what counts as a fundamental “substance.” Moreover, Spinoza rejected the teleology that gained prominence in the Middle Ages—the habit of making sense of things by emphasizing the final end to which they are (supposedly) pointed. Instead, Spinoza’s thought treads a narrow line between the old and the new, the medieval and the modern. Much of his philosophy was decidedly modern in its themes and concepts, and he took a keen interest in new scientific discoveries. “Anyone open to the idea of religious belief but uncomfortable with orthodox teachings should read Spinoza.” My Video: Spinoza’s God The Mind-Blowing Philosophy https://youtu.be/7vZzaHO90HQ My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Spinoza’s-God-The-Mind-Blowing-Philosophy.mp3…
