Weight Loss- Question for Michael

You are correct.

This is what Buddhists call habit energy which is the tip of the iceberg of karmic energy.

The roots of the karmic iceberg are in what they call the Alaya or seed consciousness.

This is what I focus on now–my mind. All body methods are windows to access my mind.

My mind is very uncontrolled. Very pathetic. I have a woman’s mind actually due to my karma. A woman’s mind in a man’s body. My life would have been much easier had I been born a woman.

As a result of my mental makeup, I can penetrate through a person’s babble because I have the yin to comprehend it and enough yang to cut through it.

Ironically, it makes it very hard to cultivate with such a mind.

Women cannot comprehend the pain that men suffer sexually. We are slaves to the pain of desire. We spend our entire lives with one goal–getting into as many women’s holes as we can. It isn’t that we view you as meat, it is that we view you as heaven and when we are not in you we are in hell.

The pain of my cock’s separation from a beautiful woman leads to all sorts of wierdness: the gym, downloading porn, speaking about women in a degrading fashion, climbing the corporate ladder, making $$$, etc.

It is very, very hard for a man to get his cock into either the right beautiful woman or enough beautiful women so that he can let go of sex as a result of having had his fill of it. If he had enough, he would see that sex is not heaven at all, and smarten up–assuming he had the right “teachers.”

Wendy is great. She just needs a stout “sticking” about once a month, which in my chauvanistic view is something most women need. 😉

If you’re being honest in your other post about your usual food intake, I eat at least 3 times as much food as you on a regular basis. At least.

I weigh 175 and I haven’t fluctuated more than a few pounds in 15 years. I’m not eating excess food and neither are you. The truth is, it doesn’t take much to maintain our respective weights and everthing we don’t use we probably excrete.

Same with a fat person, he’s not fluctuating either, he’s just taking in what he neees — except he ways 100 pounds more than us.

To loose weight you’ve got to either (i) increase exercise (ii) cut down on food or (iii) change the type of food you take in.

Cutting down on food is the hardest and, because of that, in my opinion one of the least trustworth means of loosing weight. It would be hard for Plato to start skipping meals, as it would for me. We’d rebel against it, cheat, do it for a while and then binge. Same with a fat person.

However, it would be relatively easier to change our diets, or change our exercise routine. Our bodies would rebel less because that very primal sense of maintaining equalibrium wouldn’t be challenged head on. This would my my reccomended course of action.

I absolutely understand the male struggle, I live with a very yang male for over 24 years now and our main struggle in our relationship was about sex. First I thought I was the problem, very woman-like I took the blame on me, then starting to awake, I started to blame him. I felt used, he dumped his stress into my womb and I had to digest his garbage.

Even more awakening:
After this 24 years of ‘battle’ we decided to live seperate yet in the same house but having private rooms. His wet dream was to have young beautiful women in his bed, which he never did till now because of the emotional garbage most people carry with them which he is not exactly waiting for, very wise man he is…

My wet dream, oh well Plato, indeed I prefer one good ‘performance’ only once a month. The right sounds, the right energy, the right colors, the right smells, creating it just the way I want it and then the man is allowed to enter in MY space.
He is allowed to enter in MY TEMPLE, on my conditions, that is when a woman can truelly become herself and embrace the man with everything she is able to share.

That is why it is soooooooo important for every woman to have her own private space. To create her own temple with her own stuff, with the things she likes. Let it be like little Eden where a woman can come to peace, to rest from society with its obligations which are mainly too yang for the subtle energy of women.

Many American eating habits encourage obesity, not only eating more food than they need for their lifestyles.

American foods tend to be dense, more triple quarter pounder with cheese than beef stew. Denser foods, while more nutritious, are harder for your spleen and stomach to digest, and if they aren’t digested properly, they have a way of turning into phlegm.

Americans tend to eat foods that are very cold, more milkshakes than milk.
This can have a weird effect on your stomach. At first, it damages the stomach qi. Then, as your stomach tries to counteract the extreme cold, it raises your stomach qi, and you find yourself hungry after you’re still full because of the high-burning stomach qi. This encourages drinking or eating something very cold, which starts the cycle over again. This tends to upset the spleen quite a bit, and can be seen in action with the “beer shit”, a modern problem that comes from consuming vast quantities of beer at barely above freezing temepratures (as opposed to vast quantaties of warm beer, which doesn’t cause those problems :P)

If one decided to go on the “Medieval Peasant Diet” to lose weight, for instance, and limited oneself to a hunk of cold cheddar cheese, some hard rye bread, and an ice cold beer a day, this doesn’t necessarily mean the pounds would fly off, because although the caloric intake is smaller, the manner in which it is taken is very hard on the digestion.

my point is that most fat people ARE NOT gaining weight. They are overweight by say 50 pounds and MAINTAINING that weight. It’s not like this week they’re overweight by 50 and next week by 60 and then by 70, etc.

So if the guy is drinking a gallon of soda he’s obviously burning enough of it off to maintain his weight, otherwise he’d keep gaining. It’s not the optimum food choice but its ok to drink a gallon of soda from time to time if you’re burning it off. The human body is designed to process all sorts of crap and keep going. The problem is he’s 50 pounds overweight. that’s not because he’s eating too much. It’s because he ATE too much.

Now, of course, if he drank a gallon of water instead of a gallon of soda and took some hoodia or other stuff and got really physically busy so his body didn’t miss the fact that he was actually taking in less calories, he’d loose weight — as would you if you started skipping meals.

My whole point is the focus should be less on “eating less” and more on modifying the type of foods eaten and also the level of exercies.

“There’s also a lot of people who remain at a state of athletic readiness due to emotional problems. They lead quiet lives, but they spend hours and hours doing “ultimate strength training”-this or “unbreakable soldier regiman”-that, trying to turn themselves into Rambos when their lives don’t require it. This is because of fear and shame.”

I’d love for this little quote to be posted every time someone starts singing the praises of club bells, kettle balls, scott sonnon or matt furey. Just remember, none of the 8 imortals look like scott sonnon.
