Love and Relationships

Love is often an indescribably and always intangible thing, that while some cherish, others do not. It's no mystery that creatures all over the world sacrifice unimaginable things for others they love. Emotional intelligence is in this same category and requires a great amount of it in order to at least accept and understand the power of love.

People have been using love as a weapon for evil since our existence with cavemen or more intelligently the Egyptians. We were all led to believe in a greater being in that their love will show us kindness; at the same time enslaving them and spreading a fear into compliance. Love is a difficult thing to control without fear. The primary thing love gives us is hope, if it wasn't for this, what would we live for? Fear is what forces us together, to band for a common cause or benefit from each others' existence, but love does quite the opposite in that it instills trust.

A "prerequisite" to love is trust, when we refer to "consenting adults." Knowing a mother's love is more along the lines of care and worry. Although this occurs with couples, it is a nurtured love and not an innate one. We innately love our children regardless of their mistakes, misfortunes or greatness. This sounds so obvious, but it's ignored still today even with all the knowledge of the world at our fingertips. Lest we forget the role of the mother and the father and its play on someone's livelihood, namely our children. But where would all of this be if not misplaced when the relationship between wife and husband is broken?

A truly happy family requires all of the relationships within it to communicate and co-exist without social whiplash regarding consequences according to action. Each person must know their role and how they contribute to each person to fuel their relationships together. Families should by symbiotic and ever expansive to incorporate many circumstances to encompass everything in their lives ahead.

Diet

I've discussed foods, exercise and a few other things regarding health and the holistic connection between them all, but until now I had not truly discovered their significance. Over the course of about four months I've been subjected to foods that were not to my particular liking, but had limited choice in the matter, pseudo-choice technically. I'm going to discuss a series of diets I went through to test my body's reaction to them, these findings will be without regard to food ingredients/contents. Since energy drinks and sodas have become so popular, I'll start with those.

While energy drinks and sodas technically weren't part of an involuntary choice, I made the decision to test their potency and effect on my body. The jolt from the caffeine and B-Vitamins is obvious, but what's more the reaction was the same from either the sugar or sugar free option. Both caused immense bloating and a strong desire to consume more, the forming of an addiction. After a couple days in a row I became more tired than awake, no energy drink solution was enough to keep me awake. I could easily control my intake by limiting myself to one per day, but why put myself through those stressors by having to constantly combat an addiction, so I'll just avoid them.

I've decided to add in soda here so that energy drinks aren't singled out. Every soda or carbonated syrup drink is sweetened with either sugar, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame or sucralose. There are stevia items that do exist, but I don't have any experience with them so I can't speak for them, although I imagine they're much cleaner considering my experience with stevia in my nutrition powders. All the items above had the same effects, this is very interesting because aspartame and sucralose have zero calories, yet caused the same feel of insulin spike I might get from their sugar or corn syrup counterparts. So maybe it's the caffeine right? I drink coffee every morning and no soda or energy drink comes close to 120mg per can. Essentially what I'm saying is that we're not saving ourselves by eating fake, calorie free sugar, it's still doing damage and probably much worse because they contain carcinogenic compounds. So when you go for a soda, try for one with sugar, it's real and it's harming you all the same, I'd actually lump corn syrup and fake sugars in the same category, because that's what it really is.

I consumed milk with every meal to determine its effects while combined with different foods. This was done on a meat diet and vegetarian diet on and off for a couple of weeks. My result was the intolerance of milk products, this was based on indigestion, poor bowel movements, gas and abdominal pains. Of course this is extreme, who drinks milk for every meal? But I continued to consume yogurt and cheese with no problems, it seems the culprit has been the cultivation of milk and its lactose. Although yogurt is from the same source, the active cultures are capable of neutralizing its negative affects. That leaves me with eggs and meat and how I determined which were a more suitable protein.

During the milk experiment I discovered which meats worked best consumed together, and that was no meats, they all caused intestinal inflammation. Without milk the only meats that didn't cause inflammation were seafood products, those not battered and fried, this also only covered catfish, salmon, alaska pollock, shrimp and I had crab legs once, what a waste of time. The fried items caused more inflammation than any meats, now moving on to eggs. I didn't always have eggs because I missed the serving times for breakfast most days. But eggs caused no intestinal problems, although they caused gas and sinus inflammation; other than their complete amino acid profile and 100 PDCAAS, they fall short in nutritional value and require a large number to compensate for other foods.

After I felt I'd tested everything I decided to take a few days off and go on what I would consider a detox diet. I still had Sunwarrior so I drank it throughout the day and felt wonderful, but I wasn't done just yet, now I wanted to test out the "American diet." How I did this was to consume exactly what was served, without complaint or any food restraint. After a week I couldn't take it anymore, I felt sick, lethargic and constantly bloated. I went on another detox binge for a couple days.

I continued on my vegetarian diet for about a week until I decided it was time for another experiment. This time it would be portion size and meal timing. I normally eat once every three hours and slowly increased it every day by a half hour. After a week I was eating about twice a day and it was a horrible torture. I was never hungry and when I did feel hungry, it was all at once and I felt starved. This was also on a vegetarian diet, so I decided to try it with meat and see if it changed anything, and it didn't. I could hardly stomach food and I would burp up food throughout the day from the large dinner I had the day before. I felt absolutely horrible and I still do, I'm currently coming off of that diet now with some really interesting stomach pains and heartburn; with these feelings I decided it was time to record my findings.

I've left out a lot of minor details like grains and what I ate at certain times to determine at what times of the day was best, but I'd like to keep this short. I've found that equally proportioned meals throughout the day assisted in metabolism and prevented insulin spikes. The one big meal I had for dinner on those days kept me up at night, my heart would race from the massive insulin spike I would receive. I suppose anybody could get used to these things over time, but if someone was used to it, how long before it starts affecting their health? It's hard to tell, but it was immediately adverse for me, I wouldn't want to imagine what damage it could do over time.

In conclusion, I'll be sticking to my six meals per day and eating them all equally, which includes dividing all my nutrients equally throughout all of my meals as I had somewhat done previously, but with greater scrutiny now. Eating any particular item for an entire meal, i.e. fruit, did not benefit me in any way, it only caused cramping and insulin spikes. A common "snack" for people is fruit and I'd advise against it, eat it in conjunction with meals. Overall after everything has been done, the outcome is balance, not daily balance, but balance for every meal. I want to be clear about the insulin spikes I keep referring to, and I only mention it because after every spike my energy levels dropped drastically after. I've recently had no energy for my workouts the past couple weeks and I'll post my recovery methods in a later post.

Multicultural Disease

The world is an expansive abyss of knowledge and ethnicities that span thousands of years, brought together by multiple nations, in an attempt to develop symbiotic societies. Many such places have sprouted in locations we've least expected, but have "flourished" in one primary location, America. The media in America tends to favor the side that is winning, which means they're often a podium for the government. The podium they speak from is designated for the ear of the non-believer, as the loyal are already in their pocket. What they spread to the masses is lies, a deceptive timeline that began with the great depression.

Some would say that every major catastrophic event in America was intentional for the control of its people. Of course that same tactic is used by enemy nations during times of war through the spread of propaganda, but these are domestic disputes I am referring. During the ruling under Adolf Hitler events unfolded in a similar manner that they have in America today. This has been highly understated and ignored for far too long and the intolerance in America grows; the people are no longer turning to government for their treason, they've started turning to each other.

American's are finding excuses to hate one another through multicultural differences, ultimately siding with the government and assisting them in their agenda of control. Population control is through the basic needs of life by secular living quarters, food rationing and water contamination, is their agenda. Greed is a powerful ally if you have the means to use it, unfortunately it is far out of our hands at this point. The multicultural society that has been created, while started with wars and death, will end just the same, starting with the division of race and/or color.

It's sad, and when the time comes, the people will no longer have the power to resist.

Sympathy

I used to have this thing called sympathy, where I would at least attempt to see the world through another's eyes. All the suffrage in the world requires no sympathy, there is only wraith. The abscess of stillness, of peace or prosperity. The destruction that we embrace is the birth of the new and the construction without old. To rebuild is the way of all lands, not to cultivate or rejuvenate. Minds are won by their willingness to succumb to their masters.

But the sympathy of the world cries out for a new name, there is a calling that screams from all the mountain tops that something aught to be done. Yet here we are, with small minds of the world and meager lives that count for nothing. Our power is only as great as we make it out to be, there is no blemish or unanimity that goes unnoticed, just a matter of our willingness to take advantage of the time that is given to us.

A great example of this is the recent Boston Marathon "bombing." It was never a big ordeal until the news stations deemed it so. Since when do we cower in our homes in hopes that the terrorists run into the supposed coppers' hands. None were the wiser until they discovered that the entire city was locked and only those in high authority had the key. What absurdity allows this to happen? Where were the riots, the constitutionalists,  the veterans, the saviors of this country? What did everyone do but watch and scowl at the reports on the news. "What a preposterous claim to assume they're terrorists," you might say; you might also say "people are killed in higher numbers all over the country, without so much as a blip on the radar."

We are allowing these news media companies to control our minds, it's always been about this since the creation of nations. The Roman Empire used rumors to spread panic and population control, what better way to be safe than to submit to the Roman Empire and ignore the atrocities happening at your front door. This event was literally a knock on our door, time is short and there are things at work here that few are aware of. I charge those that do know and care, read up and prepare yourselves.

Fighting is a valiant effort, but will not end nicely and it's already beyond that, it's only a matter of time before the war happens, be ready when it does. If you think the thousands of drone strikes abroad are bad, it'll be worse when domestic disputes begin to surface. It'll start with the removal of: physical security, then on to food and water, and lastly shelter.

"From Europe we're all looking at you like: What are you doing? You're the new Roman Empire, there's no one else running, so be very careful America." ~Eddie Izzard
