More kids should get weight loss surgery even some preteens is the headline from an AP article. And I love what my man Gerald Celente replied to this article via twitter saying ‘we sure have come a long sick way from an apple a day keeps the doctor away’.
I could not agree more. It seems that as an absolute last resort ok maybe I can agree there is an option for this. However when most children on this planet are either going hungry or living an active lifestyle and have a healthy weight, then what is it about North America that suggests our children need to have surgery to correct something of this nature?
When those who we look up to for our own health are telling us to take such an extreme action, over food, diet, and activity it seems just a little harsh or off centre to me. I can only image the issues that could possibly arise from surgery at such a young age, and as well are we ever really looking to solve the problem any more or simply just looking to put a band aid over every issue that seems to arise in our lives?
As always it needs to be us that goes deep inside to look for the answers because "they" whoever they are do no have them for us, maybe it will work for some. The hard work it takes to loose the weight or the hard work it takes to overcome anything in the end is always worth it, it ,makes us stronger and forges us into who and what it is we are meant to be and become!

Feeling Massively Frustrated and out of place.
This is from the KP blog and he worded this so well that I had to jump in and give my 2 cents as well. I see and have been seeing this gain momentum for the last few months and I continue to say there are those who will go deeper into a sleep (maybe even have given up on life) and there are those who continue to wake up to all the beauty and joy life holds for each one of us.
Now that truly begins with self reflection and diving deep into our own past and stories.
For myself and others the pointless conversations of the weather, sport teams, Hollywood this and that, all this surface bull crap that invades our conciseness does nothing really for us. Don't get me wrong if these conversations truly make you happy then all the power to you to continue on with them. My issues is the 5 minutes here and there talking about these things could be put to much better use talking about things that truly matter to this planet and to our souls.
That does not mean it has to deep and spiritual B.S either, but rather just positive meaningful local enjoyment for all those involved.
The point of life as KP wrote is not to get old, get fat, give up, and die.
This attitude does frustrate the phuck out of me. Realize the blessing we each have just being alive!!
This all starts by looking deep inside ourselves! It is time to start your process!

Popeye’s chaos chicken sandwich rampage, it’s next level people. I have been saying this for the last 4-6 months now, there are going to many who go deeper into that mental sleep, that matrix, that lower vibrating energy. As well there are those who are going to wake the phuck up out of it all and finally start to live their life!
It is an amazing time to be alive.
There is and are so many reason's to be alive, there are so many issues any one of us could and can stand up for, there are so many of our fellow brothers and sisters that need help, there are so many reasons simply to want to be the best person we can be.
This as I always say starts inside us, and as well it starts with our mental diet and food diet. These things we putting into our bodies physically, socially and mentally all effect us to the core (and by that I mean at the atomic level) our very make up.
So when you see the type of news coming out of the world (and it is not like this is a one time thing, rather something that has now happened numerous times again and again) we can see the difference in the way we are each made up. Some are awake and some are falling deeper and deeper into the abyss.
How is it possible that most of us don't and won't stand up for all the wrong doings going on in this amazing planet from; child abuse, sex trafficking, human trafficking, the abuse of our women, animals, and the list goes on and on.
Yet we will kill a mofo for a burger?!!
Tell me what the phuck is going on?
It's simple we have lost our way, and until each one of us looks deep inside to heal, ain't much gonna change!

How to be gentle with yourself in times of knowing we need to change or be better. Not an easy thing. For myself personally and how my training was taught to me was very old school very strict and very authentic.
So I took that same mentality into the changes I implemented into my lifestyle. Now something we talk about all the time here is our mental state. So for me being so rigid, so discipline, so hard and focused on exactly to a T what it was I wanted to eat, when, how much and so on and on. I mean that also is a form of stress and an actual hindering to improvement if you don’t have the right mindset.
So for those who follow and are on this journey of starting to be your best self, I say this. One major issue I have taken into practice now compared to my start is to flow a little more. Stop being so rigid, it’s not only tough on ourselves but I can only image that it may not be that fun to be around for those whom we share our life with.
And for myself someone who wants to implement change for myself and others around that starts with happy good vibes not strict cold calculated robotic moves. The entire point of life (which when I started I think I completely forgot about was is to enjoy) Yes to enjoy your life, the people around you and all the blessings in each of our lives. To spread love and joy to others around us, not to be a bump on a log that no one wants to be around.
So again there are things we each must be dedicated to but also remember the phrase "when in Rome"

Detox the body benefits and why all major religions and ancient cultures did it?
So as most of you who listen regularly know I have been cleansing 2 times a year for the last 12 plus years. I fully believe in it and I fully subscribe to all the benefits it has provided me along my journey. I feel it is my secret sauce, one of the things that separates good from great.
What it does internally to my insides at a cellular level, what it does for my organs, my mind and my energy. I mean I can tell you the true before and after and it is night and day. The body as well after this long of doing it knows it coming around spring and fall and there is an obvious reason for that "the season change". It truly is an internal thing, an ancestry thing.
If it is health and longevity any of us seek than this is a major component of life that we should be subscribed to. I have spoken to many of the listeners and followers of the show and a few of them seem to think that what we put into our bodies does not effect our over all well being. They do not yet comprehend how eating correlates to blood sugar spikes, mind fog, fatigue, and so on, and or on the flip side if eating clean and nutritious foods, then how that allows sharpness mentally and physically, energy for days, strength and overall joy.
My personal feeling is in these current times we each need to do what we can to empower ourselves and not rely on others to save us, and that starts with something as simple as a detox!

Vitamin b 12 and vegans and all other dietary intakes.
This was a question brought forth to me today as I sat in my most favourite, most comfortable, my go to spot for food 24/7. I had a green juice and a fruit bowl siting in front of me for my first meal of the day, and I was excited to get at it.
Now my man who is on the opposite side of the health train from me (rougher lifestyle, partying, late nights, and drugs) comes in to get a friend of his a coffee (this place only serves top notch coffee). This guy thinks as he told me, we are all fools for Spending money in a place like this. As he came in tossing out his cigarette eating a breakfast burger from some gas station, and drinking that gas station coffee. So his aasumption is that this place and others like it are just riding the fad that is "health conscious" in these current times
So spending money on nutritionally dense foods or his own health obviously not at all a priority. Yet here is the mind blowing conversation that ensued, he asks me if I worry about my sugar intake, then follows that up with so where are you getting your b 12 from then, if you're only eating this? I was wondering if I was on a joke game show.
All fair questions, but absolutely irrelevant if you eat crap from a fast food spot that has zero on a scale of nutrition, I mean those are not even the proper questions to be asking I my opinion.
You can honestly tell me you don’t eat healthy because you worry about the sugar and b 12? But you eat off the dollar menu at some fast food spot? I just cannot correlate the mind set. Why would you worry about those questions while putting poison into your system 24/7?
I say this often we really all need to be and get educated on what healthy actually means!

Humans as Amabots is this the next phase? #IYP
A student or a protege of mine came to me today with a slew of different news sound bites and he wanted to see where my head was at with them all. However in zen my goal is not to push any of my ideas, beliefs, or thoughts onto anyone.
So what I did was to allow him to speak to see where his mind set is at. I was reminded that we all start to wake up somewhere however I have to admit it seems that these days the programming and the matrix energies are much stronger than they have been in the past.
I saw this adult male gently breeze by some horrible mandates these people who are trying to get power or who have the power believe in or are pushing out as rhetoric as long as there were a few politically correct and hip 2019 band wagons involved. They seem to be able to turn a blind eye to all the horrible issues and rally behind the ones that they deem in alignment with his/their beliefs.
My shock was as someone (this adult) who has never worked, never really be introduced to the real world even at his age (which by the way seems to be more and more the normal) he thought that the amazon lifestyle and workplace was the best spot for him, even after the 80 hour work week. For me it was a complete disassociation of reality. Digging a little deeper as well how are these work force people going to be able to maintain those type of hours and for what reason? But that was not even a question, it (to me ) just seemed like this glamorous work place for him to want to be at.
Again the matrix and being dumbed down as a society, do you think it's a thing?

Militant activism how not to be in 2019 #IYP
We are all fighting for dominance it’s seems these days. The right to be heard, the right to be seen, the freedom of speech, and the freedom of belief. How will it all play out when all any of us are really doing is trying to assert dominance over other's by yelling, and telling, even preaching that our way, our beliefs are the only ones that matter!?
We just want to be right and we just want to be in power or have the power over other's. This is a human trait a weird one nonetheless but it’s something that’s in us all.
The scene I saw today blew my mind in so many ways from the group protesting to the people who were triggered by the protesters to the police being involved to the fact none of these youths had jobs and to top it all off for me how they were all trust fund babies trying to school the average working class people.
It showed me just how lost some of the souls on this planet truly are. If we all don't actually step back and listen once in a while there will never be any room for debate, understanding and compassion. This is a major area for helping to heal each other and this planet.

Kids allowance in the 2020's #IYP
Boy how times have changed and boy how the world we live in has changed. These are just fact's and issue's each human has to deal with as the days pass us by.
So a study that was done and released today which is about kids and their allowances, and I found this paper very interesting. The average allowance now for most youths under 10 is 120 dollars a month.
To me I thought that was crazy high - now I also understand there is inflation and things are just more expensive in general as the years move on.
The one high light for me and as with yesterday’s show I sat on the fence, meaning I agree with both aspects of the paper, it was that 92 percent of the parents were giving and allowance and in turn trying to educate their children about money, wealth creation, saving , balancing a check book you know all that fun grown up stuff. Which I back 100 percent.
Why well because none of us learn any of these real world skills in school and that is a shame.
However on the flip side a lot of these parents were not actually making their children do any type of service or work for the money being giving, some were just putting money into an account for the child to have at a later date. Which is also fine but defeats the point of an allowance in the terms I understand it anyway.
For me I had concerns with that, the reason is as if you are being taught that you don’t have to do anything for money and the money you don’t do anything for is probably paying better than a typical after work job.
So then are we possibly teaching the next generation some bad habits?

Riot Cop Shoots Hong Kong Protester with live round #IYP
So my thoughts on this news which showed up today was one of being in the middle. I wonder if we all stand up and take a stand in what it is we believe in deeply could we all really and truly make a change?
Then on the flip side I wonder in 100 or 200 years will any of this even matter? Some of the great darmah talks I have witnessed, all the speakers agree that standing up for what you believe in is actually an inside job. That nothing we can do to make a change is done externally but rather internally. I do agree with this as well.
For example if we do not love ourselves there is no way we can give love to another as we do not know what it even is. However if we take a look at the health movement or organic movement no matter how small they maybe currently, they have grown massively over the years because the amount of people supporting it has grown. So there must be something to it that if 7 billion of us wanted change, change would have to occur.
But in the end on the big big picture does any of it really matter? Should we just be doing our best to enjoy what it is we have?
Are we making to much nonsense out of the unknown that we think we know? Is it that we do not know the entire truth (meaning we do not have or cannot see all the pieces of the puzzle) which leaves us feeling not whole?
