same same, hemp is the "industrial" version of cannabis, as it contains less than 0.01, or 0.001% THC... making it legal... in SOME places.

 

 

Same same.

 

 

Cannabis/Hemp is the highest concentration of protein, second only to soy. Also contains an extremely high concentration and variety of amino acids.

Healthiest food on earth

The problem with proteins like just hemp is they don't have enough. Like a 30g scoop will contain only about 14g of protein. Same goes for brown rice. I've heard about the amino acids though however I'M A BEAST I NEED DAT GOOOOOD STUFF hahaha

can you get ahold of soy? that stuff is the protein king. and it maintains all natural approach.

 

 

Second to soy is cannabis, but that's usually not legal even for foodstuffs.

Soy protein tends to be the one that's easiest to find xD, I could get it anytime of the day but I've heard it's not good for males?

Also on the cannabis part, yeah not gonna happen haha. The vegan protein I have does however contain 4grams of Organic Hemp Protein Concentrate. Don't really know what that is LoL.

The time has come in my training where I feel I should incorporate supplements. I've been all natural and what not no supplements but I've decided it would be a good choice. I tend to stay away from all the whey protein crap because most of it is loaded with garbage. I wanted to know if any of you have a hookup or good knowledge of best supplements to take for training(calisthenics,gymnastics). I've never really been into multivitamins or any of that stuff, no pills come near my mouth XD but I feel it's time if I want to attain beastmode and keep it, it may even be good for my health. There's a link to a site below of this protein powder I got a while back, it seems pretty legit but I stopped using it because I wanted to be "all natural". If you have the time please also check out the link, if the protein is legit I will be more than happy to use it because for a vegan protein it has more protein than the whey, 25grams of protein for a 35gram scoop! THANKS DEWDS

Being a fellow Canadian, I feel like there is no longer such thing. It's impossible to call yourself a "Canadian" because now it is just a title like human. It is so multicultural here and I love it . As for the friendly part, there's friendly people everywhere and there is also the opposite. I've only been to Ottawa a couple times so I don't remember the friendliness scale there XD.

I feel like everyone should watch The Trailer Park Boys atleast once in there life. It's HILARIOUS! But don't watch it too much because you'll start talking like em and acting stupid haha.

"Anger is a gift."

so we have a fellow RATM fan here XD

And your R is backwards!

I know pretty bad ass right haha

So are you going to do something about it or just forget it?

I'm doing something don't worry , I'll hit you guys up here on tao bums when I succeed

You sound slightly angry.

I do don't I? XD

I dunno man this stuff just gets to me sometimes, life is good and what not but when I remember about this kinda stuff it pisses me off.

Doesn't mean I'm gonna let it take over me though, I just felt like venting

forget you for putting fluoride and chemicals in my water

forget you for putting rfid chips in my license

forget you for claiming you care when you dont give a rats ass

forget you for making kids less compitent each year

forget you for labelling people

forget you for taking away people we love so your industry can thrive

forget you for feeding bullshit into the minds of the youth

forget you and your military

forget you and your fake diseases and vaccines

forget you and the medication you shove down peoples throats

forget your fake ass food

F@*# THE SYSTEM!

This shit pisses me off

Hi, just curious....do you have partial hearing loss in your left ear? Maybe deaf to certain frequency ranges?

Not that I know of XD. My hearing is pretty good.

Thanks to everyone for the replys!

The feeling is still there but slowing going away, I'm just not paying as much attention to it as I was before. Went into bed last night feeling like a boss big smile and what not, no more fear. My sleep was kinda messed up though, I woke up about every hour or two than would go back to sleep.

OH OH !!! THE BEST PART!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's about like 10cm of snow outside and I wake up this morning to sun beeming in my eyes and 3 birds chilling on the lamp post chirping XD. I thought I was dreaming at first cause it sounded as if it was spring outside, I brought my pops into the room to validate that I wasn't dreaming . Pretty awesome way to start of the day

This whole situation was a little problem, I just elevated to a point where it didn't need to go. I will try to control the urge to post "help" threads, as it just implies that there is something wrong and I need help .

Today is gonna be a good day like every other day (: I tend to forget a lot but when I remember....

This will sound strange and rather unconventional. When I tune in at the energetic level, the answer I get is spirit attachment. So whether you are "down for it" or not makes no difference.

 

If you don't mind my asking, what kind of meditation do you do? What kind of dreams are you having, do you remember them?

 

The spirit attachment seems to be coming from the mother's side of the family. That would be your grandmother actually. Like she is kind of whispering in your ear at the non-conscious level.

 

We can make that attachment strong to separate from you and give is some other choices. We'll just make it strong to go to other dimensions, other universes, other time and space, other energy fields, and black holes.

 

The anger is just a reaction to the fear and not knowing what's going on.

 

There was also some fear around around being taken away in the night, coming from your spiritual experiences, corrected. Also, there's a karma of taking other people away in the night, corrected.

Thank's for the reply , I have a bunch of questions though if you dont mind.

What do you mean by spirit attachment?

I was doing about like 10-20 minutes of half lotus a day. I would also do some mantra chanting, and just sitting and being silent in my room for whatever time. It's been more than a week now that I haven't done any meditation or the other stuff, it started around after I stopped my practice.

As for my dreams, they are all over the place. I can usually remember my dreams pretty well but I can't seem to recall any of my recent dreams. I can only get bits and pieces which don't mean anything(I have a bunch of dreams a night, I also tend to dream fairly easy and quick).

What do you mean by my grandmother is whipsering in my ear? Why the would she be doing such a thing? I'm sort of confused here.

^you also lost me here, I have no clue what you are talking about . If you could please be so kind to go deeper or send me a PM, it would greatly be appreciated (:

Alright so lately there has been this weird senstation on my left ear, as if something is touching it. I constantly brush my ear thinking there's soemthing there but nothing. I've also been experiencing emotions like fear when it comes to bedtime, which I thought was a thing of the past. It really creeps me out. Also I can't seem to sleep on my right side anymore, the sensation gets so bad on my left ear that I'm forced to sleep on my left side. I just want things to go back to the way they where, this not being able to sleep at night shit is pissing me off. Please if you know anything or how to get rid of it, hit me up! Also I'm not down for no crazy stuff about entities and crap, that's the last thing I need. If I hear that I'll be shitting bricks XD. THANKS

PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is awesome my friend . I have been feeling like that also lately but it usually goes away, but when it does all it take's is silence to bring it back(not really bring it back it's more of a remembering thing).

I think it's great that you shared this with us, it surely did put a smile on my face . IMO I think everyone should just see this as it is, not put there own labels on it or judge.

Today is a good day (:

What food is yang food?

hot foods. Not literally hot but they have heat in them. I grew up with my mom always telling me "Don't eat too much of that it's too hot!" I would look at her like "O.o MA FOODS CAN'T BE HOT!" . Than I realize it for myself and she says mama is always right .

There's a bunch of food's that are yang, I'm no expert I just go by what this app on my phone says. It has a list of hot(yang) & cold(yin) foods so you can balance the intake of both. Taking too much of one has different side effects like the cold sore I am experiencing, I ate too much nuts, bread, oatmeal, cinnamon, hakka food XD I think I might have squeezed a full frozen pizza in there too lmfao!

So in my years of getting coldsores it seems diet is usually what triggers them. In the past couple days I went from eating fairly healthy to eating crap XD. Some things were good such as walnuts, almonds, cashews, but the thing is I ate way too much of them. I usually balance my intake of yin and yang but I thought eh why not let loose and poof woke up today with two big ass cold sores, only getting bigger in growth XD. I know its my bodys way of getting rid of the crap I put it in but in the mean time how do I get this two big ass blisters off my lip . I know lots of water is good, I'm already on that. I'm also drinking lots of freshly squeezed lemon juice/water combination. In the past I've used aloe vera which worked wonders but don't have any of that stuff or tea trea. I even put some earwax on it lmfao that didn't work . I have coldsore medication too but I prefer AU NATURAL. It might be too late to balance the yin with yang but I'm going all yin baby. What's cooler than cool? ICE COLD!

A while back I made a dish out of mungbeans. I soaked them overnight then the next day in a pan on medium heat with some EVOO sauted some chopped onions, lots of garlic, some ginger, banana pepper(spicy one), chopped up tomatoes. I let that cook for a bit than I added the mungbeans. I stired it up, a tiny bit of sea salt, some black pepper, lots of basil, a splash of soy sauce(low sodium). Man was that good, it would have been better with some rice but I only had pita bread at the time(eating it plain would be good too). Been trying to cut out wheat and sugar but it's hard in my house XD, I was raised on that pita bread son!(pita bread suprisingly has no sugar in it I don't know if the nutrition facts are true).

Oh yeah I have a question, are eggs an ok food to be eating daily? For the past 3 months I've been having 2-5 eggs daily, always adding some black pepper to balance yin&yang .

If you have an android phone there's this great app called "Chi-eating" it has a list a great list of different cold and hot foods so you can have balance. It's awesome

From a very young age I could see different colours and strobes of light floating around. If I look at someone for a good amount of time I can also see different colours of light surrounding them. Never really paid any attention to it, it scared me as a child. I used to be visited by these beings of light, my father would tell me when I was a kid I point at corners and say "GOD! GOD!" XD. I can still see somethings but I don't pay any attention to them as I see them as distractions and my mind playing tricks on me

I thought it would be fun to pretend I was Rumi XD so I wrote something in his style. ENJOI .

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply. I have taken all of your thoughts and opinions into consideration. I would love to reply to all of you but I don't have the time. As for the ones who say I wronged him by breaking his bong and I should a buy a new one for him, there's a reason I broke it in the first place(he doesn't care he already forgot about it). I've been seeing this stuff happen for a while now but it's just when my parents get into, the part of me that accepts how my brother is gets turned off. I get pissed cause I see the situation from their perspective so I come to a place like this and try to see if I can get help. I understand I can't change him, thank you.

What an interesting post.

Start reading up on persuasion and human decision making.

 

You need to find out what research has discovered about effecting change both within ourselves and in others. It will show you your limits as well as potentials. It will show you how what you do can make a difference in what others think and do. You won't get this info from a message board. Not many people at Taobums bother to learn this kind of stuff simply because there's no burning drive to learn it. But if you really want to find out what scientific research has shown works and not just folk beliefs then you're going to have to buck up, dig in and learn. Really learn. Even by rote memorization if you have to.

 

See if you can find the following books at your local library or just buy them and study them closely.

 

 

Influence:Science and Practice (5th edition) by Robert B. Cialdini

 

The Psychology of Persuasion: How to Persuade Others to Your Way of Thinking by Kevin Hogan

 

The Science of Influence by Kevin Hogan

 

Covert Persuasion by Kevin Hogan

 

Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive by Noah J. Goldstein, et. al.

 

Telling Lies: Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics and Marriage 3rd Edition by Paul Ekman Ph.D.

 

Liespotting: Proven Techniques to Detect Deception by Pamela Meyer

 

Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength by Roy F. Baummeister

 

The Science of Self Control by Howard Rachlin

 

Changing for Good by James O. Prochaska, et. al.

 

 

 

P.S. Breaking his bong was not a good tactic. It could well make things harder now if your goal is to persuade him to the benefits of your lifestyle vis-a-vis his (that is - after all - what you are truly trying to "sell" him on and so far you haven't found him buying it). All the breaking does is send the signal of your lack of self-control (which is preceded by a significant drop in blood glucose according to research). Displaying signs of lack of self-control is not a good way to persuade or get someone to "buy" into your way of thinking/living, etc. What they notice instead is that your words and deeds do not match up.

 

Again...I urge you to read up on this stuff. You need to know what you are up against if this is truly what you want to do. And make no mistake. You have set yourself up against a mountainous hurdle. If that were not so we'd all be mindless drones to marketers at every turn and no salesmen would be held to sales quotas by their employer. The good news is that it IS possible to influence and persuade people - *if* you know what you're doing. It won't deliver 100% results but it will give you a huge boost over the guy who knows jack sh** about what research has found out has the best chance of working.

 

If you get no others be sure to check out the 1st persuasion book on the list and the last book - Changing for Good - if you don't read any others. All books I've listed are based on rock solid research. Not Anthony Robbins style exhortions to "awaken the giant within" or Dr. Phil or Laura Schlesinger style preaching.

 

 

And last but not least I give you this last link. Seriously consider reading it for your own sake.

 

Emotional Awareness: Overcoming Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Paul Ekman Ph.D.

Thank you for that. I went to the library yesterday and picked up 4 books. I love reading so this will keep my mind off things for a while too, thank you for that. The only book you suggested available at my library was:

Emotional Awareness: Overcoming Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Paul Ekman Ph.D. The rest of the books are sort of in the same line as what you suggested but with different titles. Books to learn the art of persuasion and such, even if it doesn't work for my brother I'm sure it will still be good information to have for the future. Thank you.

I was pretty pissed off and just tired of everything happening when I wrote the initial post. I meditated for some bit, listened to the medicine buddha mantra(will continue to chant tonight) for my brother. I have a feeling that everything will be alright and things will start going well soon (:

It's kinda hard to do without leaving some scars, destroy everything else

Make all his friends, smoking, and stealing turn on him

All his friends must hate him, all his drugs must be out of reach, and all his crimes must catch up with him

Instant gratification but you will be in the dirt and he will hate you, his friends will hate you and probably will make the whole town hate you, so that might suck

 

But if you still have some patience left, do the opposite

Make yourself grow and become a powerful influence over his life

Make his friends yours, take all their drugs away and take them to your side, you will become more powerful

Be even more close, be so close that he couldn't do drugs in front of you or steal, make him a good kid

 

You could just meditate to ignore him as he is now, he might destroy himself though

But if he survives he wont be in your life at all

 

3 choices, 4th is invisible as always

But to get off topic as threads seem to go, you can't change him since there is nothing to change, you think you see him but you don't see the true him and all that he does is not him either; actions don't define a person, a person defines actions

You might think the does the worst crime against you and your family but he doesn't see it, he's just having fun that's all

Fourth option would be to pull the true him out but I or anyone on the forum can't do that so don't ask

How about a story, I liked this one so much that I memorized it, I think I did

There once was a person in a hurry to save his village, so he went looking for the true master. He found out that he lived in a cave up the mountain, he could see the entrance to the cave from the very bottom so he went straight to it. On his way he was attacked by robbers and all his belongings were stolen. Without anything to defend himself with, he was also attacked by animals. When he reached the cave, he was that the master was already waiting for him. He was angry at the master but master decided to train him right there and then. He gave him a task of removing a chicken egg out of a bottle without breaking it. No tools were given and no hints. He couldn't even break the bottle because of the egg inside and he couldn't pull the egg out because the neck was too thin. He was left thinking about how to get it out. While he was thinking, the egg started to hatch! Out of the egg came a chick, he fed that chick until it grew and broke the bottle itself. He didn't even need to touch the bottle or do anything, the chick was strong enough to get out of the egg so it became strong enough to get out of the bottle, too. Master left a long time ago but he taught him a lesson anyway, he could have beat up the animals and the bandits and went to save the village himself, but that would mean going to every village as well. Don't know if this was useful but thanks for listening

I think the fourth option is possible. It will just take remembering but where he is now I think that will be too much for him all at once.

But if you still have some patience left, do the opposite

Make yourself grow and become a powerful influence over his life

Make his friends yours, take all their drugs away and take them to your side, you will become more powerful

Be even more close, be so close that he couldn't do drugs in front of you or steal, make him a good kid

 

You could just meditate to ignore him as he is now, he might destroy himself though

But if he survives he wont be in your life at all

^^^^^^

What do you mean by all that, it really confused me especially the doing the opposite and the last part. If you can expand and explain that it would greatly be appreciated. By the way sinfest, thanks a lot man your a gnarly dude . Thanks to everyone who's posting. Everything will be ok soon (:

They say you can't change someone, and that they must change on their own. I believe this but how the heck can you at least help them. Hypnosis? ANYTHING!

Honestly F*** every thing I've ever said on tao bums I don't give a rats ass about enlightenment or any of that, I want my family back to normal.

My parent's can't do anything about this so it is up to me knowing and seeing more than they have(related to this situation). I love my brother so much but I absolutely despise his actions. He smokes weed( yeah some of you will say its ok, na not when your 17 and you smoke it everyday at least minimum once a day), binge drinks every fucking weekend, steals, disrespects everyone including himself the most. I've had enough for covering his ass, every day I gotta lie to my parents to say he's a good kid(they know he smokes and drinks). Now my parents have become smarter so they know whats going on but they sure don't fucking know he has a bong in his room which he smokes before school and as soon as they leave the house(sometimes even when there home), or that when we hang out he ditches me to go smoke with his friends. My dad tells me to just let him be, ok I can see that but its been almost 2 years of watching my brother smoke in front of my face, I can't do it anymore. He basically walks all over me. I try to talk to him but as soon as I start he tells me to shut the fuck up and leave. How the heck do you talk to someone like that. I can't sit around waiting for a miracle anymore, my mom is going crazy she cries all the time and my dad is already in bad shape as it is. I just broke his bong right now. For the meantime I'm going to completely cut him off meaning no more buying him food,giving him rides, nothing. The fucked up part is I don't really have any friends so I resort to hanging out with my brother and his druggy friends. It sucks ass hanging out with them cause all they do is get high than I drive them around to get munchies. Fuck me. I promised my self I'm not hanging out with anyone of them anymore, they just bring me down and don't help me at all. I'm not the best role model either because I used to do the same shit he did(I've been clean for 2 years now) and I don't have a job right now and I haven't started college yet. Yeah sure I stopped on my own by realizing that stuff has no future but for my brother to see that, it will take him another 10 years(dont tell me its because of that shit i say hes still where he is that's bullshit). It's like the movie matrix, even if he stopped, all the friends around him, music, tv, food all the shit is just gonna pull him down again. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU CHANGE SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN, there must be a way. This is for my parents if he wants to do that stuff thats his decision but my parents have already been through so much. My mom works more than 60 hours a week to come him to this shit, it kills me. Please guys just stop what your doing right now, help me please. Help my family. How much can you love someone, he has so much love coming to him from everyone yet none of it gets through. He has too much that he resorts to this shit.

My moms doing a no meat fast for my brother, the 10 days is almost up. Please pray for him, if we all do this together we can help him please.

I made a rap a couple weeks ago about some of my spiritual experiences and added a little bit about the tao bums in it it too XD it's serious in the beginning than in the end it gets all silly I was thinking about recording it and uploading it to here a couple times, who knows I might do it. I don't really know what this post is about but if you guys are writing a song, I'm down for some lyricism (that is if I can join the club )

Man I love the sun especially in the winter when it pops out of no where, GIVES ME SOLAR ENERGY mmm vitmain d :D

I DECIDED TO COMMIT TO MAKING THAT WEBCOMIC THING

now that I said it, I really have to do it now

WOOT WOOT best send on a copy this way when its done!

I don't know about you bums, but I usually make commitments and never stick with them.

They say change is inevitable but I don't want my commitment to change, I want to change to stick with my commitments. Who's in? Sometimes it's best to keep things to yourself but if we truly believe in what we want to do, telling others wouldn't matter and maybe we can create a real positive energy here to help each other out with our commitments. If you want to participate just make a post, if not than still make a post XD. I'll start it off.

For one, I want to make a commitment to stick with my commitments. It's sad but sometimes I'm not true to myself which is pretty bad, I will change that though. I tend to hang out with others who bring me down to really low negative energies, I do this because I have no other friends to resort to and have told myself a million times I can't keep doing this but it's time for change (: . I would rather be alone with my thoughts than hang out with "friends" who don't know when enough is enough and just keep taking. I have brought this into my life so I can also take it out, all I have to do is not hang out with them anymore. I have only been able to take myself to a certain level, fear and old behavior have always brought me back to where I began. I can't keep failing so I must face my fears for what they are and see that old behavior isn't bringing me happiness right now. CHANGE IS GUUUUUUUUUD, LIFE IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

ARAB OUT! (:
