i started fasting 1 month every year from the age of 8yrs old (raised Sufi). i’d spend that month fasting, praying and meditating - the prayer & meditation lasted several hrs each day, often into early morning it wasn’t like a psychedelic experience, even with all the sufi
I’ve never done psychedelics. I have a particular pattern of family history that would make doing so foolish by any measure. But people recommend them to me all the time! And they say all the things you’ve heard before about consciousness expansion. And so I tell them it

good essay!
emotions are primarily physical. this realization partly caused, partly caused by my healing arc was very instrumental in a lot of personal change in my life. i wrote a little piece on the forbidden site on this topic, link in the replies

Huel has been maligned for having lead. But this was bad analysis. Huel is fine. - Consumer Reports based its cutoff CA P65, which is way too strict - Trace lead exposure is unavoidable in all foods, but minuscule quantities are not biologically significant for adults - CR’s
I did a deep dive into this CR investigation for my blog. Their reporting has a number of concerning errors that completely undermine their findings. Chief among these is a reliance on CA's pseudo-scientific daily lead limits that are far lower than average human intake.

this is a practice instruction about the way it feels in the body, to me, to meet the places that want compassion. there's a physical settling, a simplicity, like the feeling of gravity

gravity is just matter loving eachother/itself "i wanna be close to you" "aw i wanna be close to you!" "let's be close!" *proceeds to be close for 4.6 billion years*

for sure i have other things come up too (disgust, shame, yearning, etc), but it feels like the most tender sensitive places are usually holding the energy of one of those four

another thing i've found myself returning to is the possibilitymanagement ppl's framework of fear, anger, sadness, and joy being the 4 fundamental emotions

it might be appropriate in every day life to speak directly from parts, and other times we have to keep the adult hat on for skillfulness. but when doing emotional integration work (parts work, attachment healing, etc), this really helps me access the deeper energies

something i've learned from @cgoodc's program is the utility of speaking directly *from* a part, not reporting what a part feels. it comes out sounding like a child. "will you still love me?" "i'm scared you're mad at me" "go away go away leave me alone!!" always unlocks stuff

something about this piece feels more romantic in sensibility and sound than even the other late sonatas. i'm not sure what it is exactly

ok i'm listening to the diabelli variations on fortepiano by ronald brautigam, and it's great but for some reason this particular piece i'm more drawn to the modern piano sound, and the sokolov recording i listened to last week
need to listen to the new jacob collier album but i'm on a beethoven piano sonatas on period instruments kick that simply cannot be interrupted
