I hope it sparks debate and causes people to take seriously the central point of the book, namely the grave threat posed to the world by the U.S. effort to maintain global dominance. The facts laid out in the book are disturbing and in many ways terrifying, and my hope, one I know that Prof. Chomsky has long shared, is that the public will come to understand the danger that we are in and act collectively to radically democratize existing power structures.

Faith’s Hymn by Beautiful Chorus. It’s a capella, very gentle and harmonious humming and singing. Spotify

Preferably fermented.

When I was in highschool my mother left a pot of stock simmering and went to work, except instead of leaving it on low she left it on high. I came home to a smoke filled apartment, and the pot was full of chicken bone shaped black carbon. As I grabbed the handle and brought it toward the sink molten metal poured out of the heavy base into the sink. It was scary and I’m grateful I wasn’t severely burned and that our place didn’t burn down!

I read your whole site and find it very inspiring. My wife spent six months in Ghana when she was 18 and had a very life changing experience. I hope to visit some day and will definitely reach out if I do.

Though I had a successful career as a software developer in the nonprofit space, my current interests and expertise are in meditation practices and psycho-spiritual integration. My theory is that the way to a better world is through healing our traumas, personal, collective, and intergenerational.

Me three, and I supported the original games kickstarter and loved it.

It may even get in the way of climbing the corporate ladder!

Overeating, drug addiction, even workaholism and endless accumulation of wealth are all maladaptive coping mechanisms due to unintegrated trauma.

Dark meditation retreats are common in Tibetan Buddhism. The birthing canal metaphor is also extremely common in ritual ceremonies.

Stomach acid doesn’t kill all bacteria or pathogens. That’s how I got whipworm, roundworm, E. coli and giardia from food in India. Some bacteria may be more or less susceptible to the stomach environment. It looks like tests have shown some probiotics do tend to survive the stomach.

It was Seed. Feel free to read the studies they’ve done and draw your own conclusions on the effectiveness of their double capsule. I only have my own experience and that of my nephew that Seed has helped both of us recover from debilitating symptoms that were not addressed by fermented foods or other probiotics.
