Many people think success, money, and sex are contradicting spirituality and religion. It is even so that Religion became a business to extract money from the faithful people. Money and sex became evil so that Religion could exploit the people, for instance, the Catholic church is the biggest real estate owner in the world. &#13;
I believe Religion is based on trueness and faith in God. Sex and money have actually nothing to do with religion. In previous time we could not afford to focus full-hearted on religion when we had a family with kids… And then the concept was celibacy. Today we know that this concept promotes cancer for the prostrate and breast. We have to live a full life and should not forget God. After the Vedanta the world is desire, and we should live our desires to gain understanding, and after some time we will get peace with ourselves. &#13;
I lived 10 years in celibacy, was 12 years in Meditation retreats and had quite a lot of girlfriends. My spirituality went through the roof through a tantric love to a woman, and then I went on meditation retreats. &#13;

This is a fundamental principle of many bodywork modalities like the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, and Somatics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the beginning you need maybe 10 to 15 minutes to do this exercise, later you can do it in 5 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Exercise: A Step-by-Step Guide&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What you'll need: A comfortable space on the floor with a mat or carpet, and a small pillow or towel (optional, for under your head).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 1: The Setup (The "Constructive Rest" Position)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lie on your back on the floor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Place a small pillow or folded towel under your head if needed, so your neck is comfortable and your chin is slightly tucked, not jutting up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Position your feet so they are hip-width apart or shoulder-width, parallel to each other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Adjust your feet so they are far enough away from your buttocks that your knees are pointing directly up towards the ceiling. Your thighs and calves should form roughly a 90-degree angle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let your arms rest comfortably at your sides, palms down or up, whatever feels natural.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 2: The Active Release (Letting the Knees "Talk")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Close your eyes and bring your attention to your pelvis and lower back. Take a few deep, calming breaths.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, begin to very slowly and gently allow your knees to fall or drop towards each other. Don't use your strong outer thigh muscles to force them. Instead, imagine you are just allowing them to go inward, releasing the muscles that would normally hold them apart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let them fall only as far as they want to. You might feel a slight shaking or tremor—this is a great sign! It means muscles are starting to unlock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, just as slowly and patiently, allow your knees to drift back apart to their starting position. Again, don't force them. Imagine they are floating open on their own.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the key: The movement should be initiated by a feeling of release, not muscular effort. You are basically asking the question: "What happens if I stop holding my legs apart?" and then "What happens if I stop holding them together?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Repeat this gentle, rocking motion. As you continue, you might notice that the movement starts to feel more rhythmic and autonomous. The knees may start to knock together and fall apart by themselves, as you described.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 3: The "Somatic" Response (Letting the Body Take Over)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After several minutes of this patient, gentle rocking, you may begin to feel a new sensation. The movement may become less about your knees and more about your lower back and pelvis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You might feel your lower back gently pressing into the floor and then releasing. You might feel your pelvic floor muscles subtly contracting and relaxing. Your stomach muscles may start to quiver or engage involuntarily.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the "somatic" response. Your brain is reconnecting with chronically tight muscles and teaching them how to let go. The body is now moving by itself, unwinding the deep-seated tension patterns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Simply observe this process. Don't try to control it or make it bigger. Just be a curious witness to the gentle, spontaneous movements of your own body.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why This Exercise Is So Effective (The Science of Release)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It Targets the Psoas Muscle: The psoas (so-as) is a deep core muscle that connects your spine to your legs. It is the body's primary postural muscle and is intimately connected to our fight-or-flight response. When we are stressed, anxious, or have experienced trauma, the psoas chronically tightens, shortening and pulling on the lower back. This exercise puts the psoas in a position where it can finally be "asked" to lengthen and release.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It Engages the Parasympathetic Nervous System: The constructive rest position itself is calming. By adding this gentle, non-demanding movement, you are signaling to your nervous system that it is safe to let go of the protective bracing patterns held in the pelvis and lower back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's a Form of Pandiculation: This is a fancy word for the natural way that cats and dogs stretch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A pandiculation involves three steps:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1) consciously contracting a muscle,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2) slowly and consciously releasing it, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3) relaxing completely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This exercise does this by allowing the muscles to contract (as the knees fall together and the back engages) and then slowly release (as the knees drift apart). This neurological process is the most effective way to reset a muscle's resting length and erase chronic tension.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;It's a powerful tool for self-care.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your patience and gentle approach are the true secrets to its success.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; How to release your tension in the lower back and pelvic area? https://youtu.be/HtnG68-MFA8&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-release-your-tension-in-the-lower-back-and-pelvic-area.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-release-your-tension-in-the-lower-back-and-pelvic-area.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/HtnG68-MFA8/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; This type of exercise is brilliant because it doesn't force the muscles to relax, but rather creates the conditions for the nervous system to let go of chronic tension on its own.

In the beginning you need maybe 10 to 15 minutes to do this exercise, later you can do it in 5 minutes. The Exercise: A Step-by-Step Guide What you'll need: A comfortable space on the floor with a mat or carpet, and a small pillow or towel (optional, for under your head). Step 1: The Setup (The "Constructive Rest" Position) Lie on your back on the floor. Place a small pillow or folded towel under your head if needed, so your neck is comfortable and your chin is slightly tucked, not jutting up. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Position your feet so they are hip-width apart or shoulder-width, parallel to each other. Adjust your feet so they are far enough away from your buttocks that your knees are pointing directly up towards the ceiling. Your thighs and calves should form roughly a 90-degree angle. Let your arms rest comfortably at your sides, palms down or up, whatever feels natural. Step 2: The Active Release (Letting the Knees "Talk") Close your eyes and bring your attention to your pelvis and lower back. Take a few deep, calming breaths.

Step 3: The "Somatic" Response (Letting the Body Take Over) After several minutes of this patient, gentle rocking, you may begin to feel a new sensation.

The internet promised me reduced inflammation, better recovery, and all-around wellness magic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Honestly? It did nothing for me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I kept waiting for the benefits everyone raved about—the energy, the anti-inflammatory wonders, the glow. Instead, I got… well, nothing noticeable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Turns out, the science explains why.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Turmeric Problem&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Recent studies reveal that even when combined with black pepper (which helps absorption) and taken with fat, turmeric's active compounds are only absorbed at **20-30%** . And here's the kicker: within **2-3 hours**, it's virtually gone from your bloodstream.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So unless you're timing your turmeric intake with military precision around every meal, you're probably not getting much from it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enter Black Ginger: Thailand's Ancient Secret&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For centuries, Thai traditional medicine has relied on a powerful root called Black Ginger (*Kaempferia parviflora*). And now? Modern science is finally catching up to what herbalists have known all along.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The verdict: Black Ginger is approximately **20 times more potent** than turmeric, absorbs effectively without needing fat, and offers a wider range of scientifically-validated benefits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What Makes Black Ginger So Powerful?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The magic lies in compounds called **polymethoxyflavones**—potent antioxidants that your body can absorb efficiently and put to work immediately.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's what the research shows:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Physical Performance &amp;amp; Energy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Black Ginger has been traditionally used by Thai boxers—and for good reason. A 2024 study found that mice given black ginger extract for 8 weeks showed **significantly enhanced endurance**. Human research suggests it may improve energy metabolism, helping your body burn fat for fuel more effectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Male Reproductive Health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Traditionally valued as an aphrodisiac, studies indicate black ginger may support healthy testosterone levels, increase sperm density, and improve blood flow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Antioxidant &amp;amp; Anti-inflammatory Power&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The polymethoxyflavones in black ginger combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation throughout the body. Bonus: research suggests it may even help heal and prevent stomach ulcers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Weight Management&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;By influencing how your body stores and uses fat, black ginger may support healthy weight management—especially when combined with an active lifestyle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cardiovascular &amp;amp; Cellular Health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Early research points to protective effects for heart health, while other studies suggest it may support skin health by promoting collagen and elastin production.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Relaxation Paradox&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's what fascinates me most: Thai monks have traditionally used black ginger for relaxation. At first glance, that seems contradictory—a herb that boosts energy *and* promotes calm?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Modern brain wave studies explain why. Research shows that black ginger increases **alpha brain waves** (associated with relaxation and calm focus) while decreasing **beta waves** (linked to stress and anxiety). It also appears to support healthy dopamine levels.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So rather than stimulating or sedating, black ginger seems to *balance*—creating a state of calm energy that ancient traditions have understood for centuries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How to Use Black Ginger&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Traditional and clinical doses typically range from **1.2g to 1.35g daily**.

The internet promised me reduced inflammation, better recovery, and all-around wellness magic. Honestly? It did nothing for me. I kept waiting for the benefits everyone raved about—the energy, the anti-inflammatory wonders, the glow. Instead, I got… well, nothing noticeable. Turns out, the science explains why. The Turmeric Problem Recent studies reveal that even when combined with black pepper (which helps absorption) and taken with fat, turmeric's active compounds are only absorbed at **20-30%** . And here's the kicker: within **2-3 hours**, it's virtually gone from your bloodstream. So unless you're timing your turmeric intake with military precision around every meal, you're probably not getting much from it. Enter Black Ginger: Thailand's Ancient Secret For centuries, Thai traditional medicine has relied on a powerful root called Black Ginger (*Kaempferia parviflora*). And now? Modern science is finally catching up to what herbalists have known all along. The verdict: Black Ginger is approximately **20 times more potent** than turmeric, absorbs effectively without needing fat, and offers a wider range of scientifically-validated benefits. What Makes Black Ginger So Powerful? The magic lies in compounds called **polymethoxyflavones**—potent antioxidants that your body can absorb efficiently and put to work immediately. Here's what the research shows: Physical Performance &amp;amp; EnergyBlack Ginger has been traditionally used by Thai boxers—and for good reason. A 2024 study found that mice given black ginger extract for 8 weeks showed **significantly enhanced endurance**. Human research suggests it may improve energy metabolism, helping your body burn fat for fuel more effectively. Male Reproductive HealthTraditionally valued as an aphrodisiac, studies indicate black ginger may support healthy testosterone levels, increase sperm density, and improve blood flow. Antioxidant &amp;amp; Anti-inflammatory PowerThe polymethoxyflavones in black ginger combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation throughout the body. Bonus: research suggests it may even help heal and prevent stomach ulcers. Weight ManagementBy influencing how your body stores and uses fat, black ginger may support healthy weight management—especially when combined with an active lifestyle. Cardiovascular &amp;amp; Cellular HealthEarly research points to protective effects for heart health, while other studies suggest it may support skin health by promoting collagen and elastin production. The Relaxation Paradox Here's what fascinates me most: Thai monks have traditionally used black ginger for relaxation. At first glance, that seems contradictory—a herb that boosts energy *and* promotes calm? Modern brain wave studies explain why. Research shows that black ginger increases **alpha brain waves** (associated with relaxation and calm focus) while decreasing **beta waves** (linked to stress and anxiety). It also appears to support healthy dopamine levels. So rather than stimulating or sedating, black ginger seems to *balance*—creating a state of calm energy that ancient traditions have understood for centuries. How to Use Black Ginger Traditional and clinical doses typically range from **1.2g to 1.35g daily**. Unlike turmeric, you don't need to carefully combine it with fat or pepper for absorption—your body can utilize it effectively on its own. **A quick word of caution:** As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or take medications.

This is the version that tells everyone, "I'm doing great."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The other version is who you are in private. No show. No performance. This is the version with all the bad habits, the anxieties, the fears. And buried beneath it all, there is often a small voice that just wants to be authentic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But then the fear creeps in:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What if other people discover my private self?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That fear—that exposure—is shame.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And when those two versions inevitably don't match, you feel a low-grade tension that never fully goes away. A constant, quiet unease.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Guilt vs. Shame&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People often use "guilt" and "shame" interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Guilt is: "I did something bad."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shame is: "I am bad."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shame is the belief that if people really knew you, they would reject you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And so you hide. You construct another version of yourself—a persona—because somewhere along the way, you decided that the real you wasn't acceptable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Problem with the Persona&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The problem with operating from a place of persona is that you can never actually receive love.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Even when people give you love, attention, or approval, there is always a voice in the back of your mind whispering:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Yeah, but they don't know the real me. They like the version I'm presenting—not who I actually am."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The love goes to the persona. And you are standing right behind it, wondering if any of it was ever really meant for you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Self-Help Trap&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you're not careful, self-improvement becomes another mask.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You build an idealized version of yourself in your head. The version that runs 50 habits at once, never takes an off day, and somehow wakes up motivated every morning. Everywhere you turn, the message is the same: "If you're not growing, you're dying."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then you do something completely human: you sleep in, you skip the workout, you procrastinate, you have a low-energy week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And instead of adjusting like it's no big deal, you use it as evidence to beat yourself up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the trap: We can use self-improvement to fuel self-hate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The very thing that is supposed to make you better ends up making you fragile—because your worth becomes tied to your performance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And underneath all of it? Shame.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The belief that who you are right now isn't okay. That you have to constantly be becoming someone else just to deserve love, success, or happiness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Real Solution&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The solution to all of this isn't more self-improvement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's more self-acceptance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Where to Start&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Trace the Roots&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Grab a journal and go somewhere quiet. Write down the messages you received as a kid that made you feel like it wasn't okay to be who you were—just as you were.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't overthink it. Just let it flow. Try to trace back where some of this shame actually came from. It didn't appear out of nowhere. It has roots.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You might discover:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your fear of being "too much" came from being told to quiet down as a child.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your need to always have a joke ready came from learning that humor kept the peace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your perfectionism came from feeling that love was conditional on achievement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One important thing: Name it, don't blame it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The goal isn't to trap yourself in victim mode or figure out whose fault everything was. You're simply trying to identify the messages so you can start questioning them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Experience Real Connection&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you participate in authentic self-discovery groups—like Encounter, Bioenergetics, or Primal therapy—you realize something profound:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nobody is perfect. In fact, many people are dealing with things far heavier than you ever imagined.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And the solution, you discover, is simple: Be as authentic as you can, in as many settings as you can.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The beautiful thing is that when you stop performing, you give others permission to stop performing too. Your spouse, your friends, your family—they can also be authentic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then, for the first time, two real entities can meet—without pretense, without masks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That is the foundation of true love.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; What Is Shame? https://youtu.be/twumEjZR0eM&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/What-Is-Shame.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/What-Is-Shame.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/twumEjZR0eM/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; If you have two versions of yourself, you feel embarrassed when you don't live up to your own standards. You want to improve, so you create a "better" version of yourself. One version is how you want to be seen in public—on social media, at work, among friends. This is the version that tells everyone, "I'm doing great." The other version is who you are in private. No show. No performance. This is the version with all the bad habits, the anxieties, the fears. And buried beneath it all, there is often a small voice that just wants to be authentic. But then the fear creeps in: What if other people discover my private self? That fear—that exposure—is shame. And when those two versions inevitably don't match, you feel a low-grade tension that never fully goes away. A constant, quiet unease. Guilt vs. Shame People often use "guilt" and "shame" interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Guilt is: "I did something bad." Shame is: "I am bad." Shame is the belief that if people really knew you, they would reject you. And so you hide. You construct another version of yourself—a persona—because somewhere along the way, you decided that the real you wasn't acceptable. The Problem with the Persona The problem with operating from a place of persona is that you can never actually receive love. Even when people give you love, attention, or approval, there is always a voice in the back of your mind whispering: "Yeah, but they don't know the real me. They like the version I'm presenting—not who I actually am." The love goes to the persona. And you are standing right behind it, wondering if any of it was ever really meant for you. The Self-Help Trap If you're not careful, self-improvement becomes another mask. You build an idealized version of yourself in your head. The version that runs 50 habits at once, never takes an off day, and somehow wakes up motivated every morning. Everywhere you turn, the message is the same: "If you're not growing, you're dying." And then you do something completely human: you sleep in, you skip the workout, you procrastinate, you have a low-energy week. And instead of adjusting like it's no big deal, you use it as evidence to beat yourself up. This is the trap: We can use self-improvement to fuel self-hate. The very thing that is supposed to make you better ends up making you fragile—because your worth becomes tied to your performance. And underneath all of it? Shame. The belief that who you are right now isn't okay. That you have to constantly be becoming someone else just to deserve love, success, or happiness. The Real Solution The solution to all of this isn't more self-improvement. It's more self-acceptance. Where to Start 1. Trace the Roots Grab a journal and go somewhere quiet. Write down the messages you received as a kid that made you feel like it wasn't okay to be who you were—just as you were. Don't overthink it. Just let it flow. Try to trace back where some of this shame actually came from. It didn't appear out of nowhere. It has roots. You might discover: Your fear of being "too much" came from being told to quiet down as a child. Your need to always have a joke ready came from learning that humor kept the peace. Your perfectionism came from feeling that love was conditional on achievement. One important thing: Name it, don't blame it. The goal isn't to trap yourself in victim mode or figure out whose fault everything was. You're simply trying to identify the messages so you can start questioning them. 2. Experience Real Connection When you participate in authentic self-discovery groups—like Encounter, Bioenergetics, or Primal therapy—you realize something profound: Nobody is perfect. In fact, many people are dealing with things far heavier than you ever imagined. And the solution, you discover, is simple: Be as authentic as you can, in as many settings as you can. The beautiful thing is that when you stop performing, you give others permission to stop performing too. Your spouse, your friends, your family—they can also be authentic. And then, for the first time, two real entities can meet—without pretense, without masks. That is the foundation of true love.

You want to improve, so you create a "better" version of yourself. One version is how you want to be seen in public—on social media, at work, among friends. This is the version that tells everyone, "I'm doing great." The other version is who you are in private. No show. No performance. This is the version with all the bad habits, the anxieties, the fears. And buried beneath it all, there is often a small voice that just wants to be authentic. But then the fear creeps in: What if other people discover my private self? That fear—that exposure—is shame. And when those two versions inevitably don't match, you feel a low-grade tension that never fully goes away. A constant, quiet unease. Guilt vs. Shame People often use "guilt" and "shame" interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Guilt is: "I did something bad." Shame is: "I am bad." Shame is the belief that if people really knew you, they would reject you. And so you hide. You construct another version of yourself—a persona—because somewhere along the way, you decided that the real you wasn't acceptable. The Problem with the Persona The problem with operating from a place of persona is that you can never actually receive love. Even when people give you love, attention, or approval, there is always a voice in the back of your mind whispering: "Yeah, but they don't know the real me. They like the version I'm presenting—not who I actually am." The love goes to the persona. And you are standing right behind it, wondering if any of it was ever really meant for you. The Self-Help Trap If you're not careful, self-improvement becomes another mask. You build an idealized version of yourself in your head. The version that runs 50 habits at once, never takes an off day, and somehow wakes up motivated every morning. Everywhere you turn, the message is the same: "If you're not growing, you're dying." And then you do something completely human: you sleep in, you skip the workout, you procrastinate, you have a low-energy week. And instead of adjusting like it's no big deal, you use it as evidence to beat yourself up. This is the trap: We can use self-improvement to fuel self-hate. The very thing that is supposed to make you better ends up making you fragile—because your worth becomes tied to your performance. And underneath all of it? Shame.

You need more focus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By definition, cleaning your house is productive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But who cares if you’re being productive on the wrong things?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeff Bezos has said that he gets paid to make about three good decisions a day. That’s it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He simply knows what matters and ignores everything else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you learn new things, you have to apply them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s the trick: if you work or learn for just half an hour, then rest, then work for another half hour, you are much more productive. And once the work is done, you need to actually enjoy your free time. Otherwise, you won’t stay productive for long.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best productivity advice I’ve ever gotten can be summed up in two words: do less.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do less of the stuff that doesn’t matter so you can focus on the one to three things that actually do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why you feel busy but still stuck&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Clear explains the difference between motion and action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Motion = planning and learning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Action = what actually produces a result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both are necessary, but here’s the catch:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why do we stay stuck in motion?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because it protects us. It gives us a feeling of pseudo-productivity that feels much more comfortable than risking failure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next time you feel stuck, ask yourself: Is this motion or action?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Less Time = More Output&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we set a clear deadline, we stop procrastinating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And after working, we also need to set aside time to enjoy ourselves.

That’s because your brain bounces to two other tasks before returning to the original one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check your phone a few times during a deep work session, and you’ve lost hours just trying to get back to where you were.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, run your errands on one day instead of three. Check email twice a day instead of all day. And do what I do: film all my videos on the same day to save over an hour of setup time per session.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Group the small stuff and protect the deep stuff.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to be creative: Be empty first&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re not feeling creative, brainstorm until you’re empty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I never force myself to be creative under pressure—it never works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel most creative in the morning and at night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the morning, my mind is fresh and empty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At night, I let myself think through all the random, "stupid" stuff, and by the end, I feel empty again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s a one-liner to beat your inner perfectionist into submission:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Done is better than perfect, because perfect never gets done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do the hard thing first&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you tackle the hardest task first, everything else feels easy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rest of the day could be chaos, and it wouldn’t bother me, because the thing that actually mattered is already done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And if I can’t figure out the hard thing, I do the easy things instead.

The best productivity advice I’ve ever gotten can be summed up in two words: do less. Do less of the stuff that doesn’t matter so you can focus on the one to three things that actually do. Why you feel busy but still stuck James Clear explains the difference between motion and action. Motion = planning and learning. Action = what actually produces a result. Both are necessary, but here’s the catch: Why do we stay stuck in motion? Because it protects us. It gives us a feeling of pseudo-productivity that feels much more comfortable than risking failure. Next time you feel stuck, ask yourself: Is this motion or action? Less Time = More Output When we set a clear deadline, we stop procrastinating. And after working, we also need to set aside time to enjoy ourselves. Otherwise, our inner child will rebel and we’ll procrastinate even more. You’re not unproductive because you don’t have enough time. You’re unproductive because you have too much of it. Pay attention to when you feel most productive and creative. Everyone has a 2- to 3-hour window each day when they are roughly three times sharper than at any other time. Find your window and protect it. What if you get interrupted? Here’s a simple rule to become four times more productive: If something takes less than two minutes, do it now. Wash the dish. Reply to the text. Pay the bill. Confirm the plans. Every small task you put off adds invisible weight to your brain. By 2 p.m., you’re mentally exhausted without having done anything that really matters.

How to be creative: Be empty first If you’re not feeling creative, brainstorm until you’re empty. I never force myself to be creative under pressure—it never works. I feel most creative in the morning and at night. In the morning, my mind is fresh and empty. At night, I let myself think through all the random, "stupid" stuff, and by the end, I feel empty again. Here’s a one-liner to beat your inner perfectionist into submission: Done is better than perfect, because perfect never gets done. Do the hard thing first When you tackle the hardest task first, everything else feels easy.

But I could not heal it, and it became chronic within a year. Whenever I strained my arm, it started again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, I have healed it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Massage&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Massage the entire arm with this castor oil blend:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- 60–70% castor oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- 20–30% DMSO&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- 10% black seed oil or clove oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do this 3 to 5 times per day. Focus on the area of pain or the problem while you massage, but be gentle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stretching&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Always stretch your arm when you have pain. Stretch the arm with the help of your other arm. Bend your hand 90 degrees upward and stretch your straight arm, then bend your hand 90 degrees downward and stretch your straight arm again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pain is gone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now comes the magic!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take 1 teaspoon of moringa powder with your food, 3 to 5 times per day. Moringa powder heals bone and joint inflammation and is used for that in Ayurveda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take 2 black seed oil capsules per day—best is 1000mg from Now. Never ever trust unbranded or unknown herb capsules. I only take herbs from Now or Double Swords.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- The first capsule you take on an empty stomach in the morning, and you don't eat anything for 30 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- The second capsule you take at night, 2 hours after your dinner, and you don't eat anything afterward. You can drink moringa with water, black ginger, lemon, and honey.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Black ginger is also very good. It heals inflammation and is also an aphrodisiac, but it is hard to get. It tastes and smells like bitter medicine, yet it feels so good in the stomach.

I tried to heal it with ice, frequencies (Rife generator), stretching, and massage. But I could not heal it, and it became chronic within a year. Whenever I strained my arm, it started again. Now, I have healed it. MassageMassage the entire arm with this castor oil blend:- 60–70% castor oil- 20–30% DMSO- 10% black seed oil or clove oil Do this 3 to 5 times per day. Focus on the area of pain or the problem while you massage, but be gentle. StretchingAlways stretch your arm when you have pain. Stretch the arm with the help of your other arm. Bend your hand 90 degrees upward and stretch your straight arm, then bend your hand 90 degrees downward and stretch your straight arm again. Pain is gone. Now comes the magic!!! Take 1 teaspoon of moringa powder with your food, 3 to 5 times per day. Moringa powder heals bone and joint inflammation and is used for that in Ayurveda. Take 2 black seed oil capsules per day—best is 1000mg from Now. Never ever trust unbranded or unknown herb capsules. I only take herbs from Now or Double Swords. - The first capsule you take on an empty stomach in the morning, and you don't eat anything for 30 minutes.- The second capsule you take at night, 2 hours after your dinner, and you don't eat anything afterward. You can drink moringa with water, black ginger, lemon, and honey. Black ginger is also very good. It heals inflammation and is also an aphrodisiac, but it is hard to get. It tastes and smells like bitter medicine, yet it feels so good in the stomach. Just 1–2 grams of black ginger with lemon and honey. It heals inflammation and has been used for centuries in Thai and Chinese medicine. Have patience—it takes time to heal. But you will feel the difference in days. Always consult a doctor and check your tendinitis.

From the beginning, I stayed the first three months in quarantine… With my childhood, I was the worst case in every therapy group.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Awareness&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First, you need awareness when something is going wrong. Without awareness, you can’t solve any problem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We all have blind spots. Invite a friend (or friends) or let them listen through your cell phone when you have an argument.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then ask your friend what went wrong. You want an honest answer that can help you stop repeating the same issue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All relationship problems are connected to your childhood — there is no exception.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Get a therapist to release the traumas that are driving your relationship problems.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. No rigid “rights”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From the beginning, it was — and still is — absolutely ridiculous to me to demand your rights.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“If I do the housework, you do the garden work…” This will never ever work out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For people like me, I don’t care if I have to work more. For lazy people, it’s a big issue to empty the garbage.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In our Ashram, we learned — and everybody should learn — to do every work without complaints. Finish. You got it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. No ego trip&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What is your ego trip? Or your life standards that don’t fit your partner?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In every situation, ask yourself: “Is this an ego trip?” Or: “Does my behavior serve my relationship?”&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If not, adapt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your task should be to serve, instead of to demand.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4. Patience&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Have patience with yourself and with your spouse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; How to Solve All Relationship Problems? https://youtu.be/fhlmn978z88&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Solve-All-Relationship-Problems.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Solve-All-Relationship-Problems.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/fhlmn978z88/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; What kind of relationship problems do we face?

My intelligence is instinct.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't care what people say. Don't give a damn about their laws.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As far as I'm concerned, love means fighting, big fat lies, and a couple of slaps across the face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I always thought my days spent in darkness [as a child she had cataracts and was unable to see for nearly four years] gave me a very special sensitivity.

Reduces Inflammation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Chronic inflammation is at the root of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease. Moringa fights inflammation at the source.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In India, Moringa is traditionally used for arthritis, osteoarthritis, and bone pain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.

You can also apply Moringa oil directly to the skin for healing and protection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6. Protects Brain Health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moringa contains tryptophan (an amino acid) and vitamin B6, which help produce serotonin—the neurotransmitter responsible for mood, libido, and sleep. This makes it helpful for:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Depression&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Low libido&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mood swings&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Insomnia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7.

Improves Sexual Drive&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moringa can help increase testosterone levels while lowering cortisol (the stress hormone). This combination supports vitality and libido.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;10. Supports Women During Menopause&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moringa helps regulate sexual hormones in women going through menopause, easing symptoms and supporting overall balance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moringa for Better Sleep&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Science has proven that taking 1 teaspoon of Moringa before bed promotes restful sleep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;During sleep, your body rejuvenates—and Moringa provides many of the specific components your body needs for deep, restorative rest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Summary of Benefits&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Balances blood sugar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calms inflammation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Boosts the immune system&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Supports liver detoxification&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enhances digestion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Improves heart health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enhances cognitive function&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Supports healthy skin regeneration&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Who Should NOT Consume Moringa Powder?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Always consult your physician before adding Moringa to your routine, especially if you have any of the following conditions:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pregnant women (Moringa may stimulate uterine contractions)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People on blood-thinning medication (Moringa can slow clotting)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Those with low blood pressure (Moringa can lower it further)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Individuals with thyroid disorders (Moringa may affect thyroid function)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People with kidney stones (Moringa contains oxalates)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Breastfeeding mothers (safety not well studied)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Diabetics on medication (Moringa may lower blood sugar too much—monitor closely)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; The Newly Discovered Super Herb: Moringa https://youtu.be/w9KkrOiJXNM&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-Newly-Discovered-Super-Herb-Moringa.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-Newly-Discovered-Super-Herb-Moringa.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/w9KkrOiJXNM/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; Moringa has been used for over 1,000 years.

Why? Because God is beyond all description. Our limited minds cannot comprehend God, so we limit God to an image we can more easily worship.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Startling Prediction&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jordan Maxwell once knew someone—for many years—who had the gift of predicting exactly what would happen to him in six months or a year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This person would tell him, in detail: the exact date, the time of day, where he would be, which person he would be with, and even what he would say.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now here is the point.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When someone can forecast such things with that level of precision, the conclusion is unsettling: Our life is already lived.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Hindu Perspective&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If we compare that conclusion with Hindu philosophy, we find a striking parallel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Hindus suggest that we are like someone sitting in a cinema, fixed to our chair with ropes, watching our life unfold on the screen. We cannot interfere because we are only the witness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When we watch an exciting movie, we identify with the main character—the one who endures all the problems. We lose the ability to differentiate between reality and the movie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And that, they say, is exactly our life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In reality, we are only the witness or watcher—not the persona, not the body, not the actions, not the emotions, not the thoughts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is real meditation: just watching what happens, without identification.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is It All Written?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Have you ever tried astrology based on your birth horoscope? Look at how accurate it can be. Coincidence?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And consider this: Thousands of fish or birds change course instantly, as if the whole school or flock were a single body. Who—or what—is controlling them?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Matrix Question&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Have you seen the movie The Matrix?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It makes us wonder: Do we really live in a Matrix?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We often notice that many events happen synchronously, even when they have nothing directly to do with each other. Carl Jung wrote extensively about this.

He argues that our wrong translations of the Bible lead to wrong understanding—and wrong assumptions. But does trueness matter? Think about it: How many Hindus or Germans were killed because of their faith in many gods? The Problem with Translation Jordan Maxwell, an independent researcher, discovered that in the original Old Testament, the meaning of "God" is different from what we read in today's Bibles. In fact, you can read about gods (plural) in the Old Testament and Genesis: The Jews chose, from among several gods, one God for Israel—and worshiped Him as their national deity. The description of God differs between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. But here is the key: All of these Gods are representatives of the Almighty God—the ultimate, unknowable Source. This is exactly the same as in the Hindu religion. In Hinduism, you can choose anything as a representative of the Almighty God. Why? Because God is beyond all description. Our limited minds cannot comprehend God, so we limit God to an image we can more easily worship. A Startling Prediction Jordan Maxwell once knew someone—for many years—who had the gift of predicting exactly what would happen to him in six months or a year. This person would tell him, in detail: the exact date, the time of day, where he would be, which person he would be with, and even what he would say. Now here is the point. When someone can forecast such things with that level of precision, the conclusion is unsettling: Our life is already lived. The Hindu Perspective If we compare that conclusion with Hindu philosophy, we find a striking parallel. The Hindus suggest that we are like someone sitting in a cinema, fixed to our chair with ropes, watching our life unfold on the screen. We cannot interfere because we are only the witness. When we watch an exciting movie, we identify with the main character—the one who endures all the problems. We lose the ability to differentiate between reality and the movie. And that, they say, is exactly our life. In reality, we are only the witness or watcher—not the persona, not the body, not the actions, not the emotions, not the thoughts. This is real meditation: just watching what happens, without identification. Is It All Written? Have you ever tried astrology based on your birth horoscope? Look at how accurate it can be. Coincidence? And consider this: Thousands of fish or birds change course instantly, as if the whole school or flock were a single body. Who—or what—is controlling them?

The Base Mixture: 1 teaspoon of black seed oil 1 teaspoon (or up to 2 tablespoons) of raw honey How to Take It: Take it on an empty stomach in the morning, and wait 30 minutes before eating. If taking it later in the day, take it at least 2 hours after a meal, or 30 minutes before a meal. If you take medication, space this mixture at least 2 hours apart from your medicine. First, consult your doctor before taking black seed oil, especially if you are on medication. 1. Asthma and Breathing Difficulties The problem: Your airways are constricted or inflamed.Black seed oil contains Thymoquinone (TQ) , which can help open up airways by up to 60% within 3 hours. How to take: On an empty stomach in the morning and once before bed.Result: You may notice easier breathing within hours. By day 3, your lung capacity often improves dramatically. 2.

Consult your doctor so they can adjust your diabetes medication if needed. 4. High Blood Pressure and Heart Strain Add a pinch of cinnamon to the base mixture. This reduces the inflammation that causes high blood pressure. Result: It can lower high blood pressure by 15 to 25 points within 2 weeks. 5. Chronic Digestion Problems, IBS, and Gut Issues When your gut is inflamed, everything suffers. This remedy improves digestion, mood, energy, immunity, and mental clarity. Black seed oil has antimicrobial properties that eliminate harmful bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Honey feeds the good bacteria in your gut and provides enzymes that improve digestion. How to take: Base mixture on an empty stomach, wait 30 minutes before eating.Result: Relief often comes within 24 hours. For chronic issues, improvement within 2–3 weeks. 6. Chronic Inflammation, Joint Pain, and Headaches Chronic inflammation is the silent killer behind many diseases: Alzheimer's, arthritis, depression, heart disease, and cancer. How to take: Base mixture as directed. You can also apply black seed oil directly onto sore joints.Result: Joint pain often disappears within 3 to 5 days. 7. Insomnia and Sleep Disorders This mixture calms the nervous system and reduces cortisol levels. How to take: 1 teaspoon of the mixture 1 hour before bed. 8.

After all, the closer you are, the more likely ruptures are to happen, and how you handle them matters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are three things emotionally intelligent couples do differently when they are in conflict.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. They don’t assume the worst about their partner’s intent&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We’ve all been there. One sharp comment can seem like an attack on your character. For example, you forget to text back and it is interpreted as not caring. A request for space could be misconstrued as abandonment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Instead of assuming the worst, the most emotionally intelligent couples will ask questions like:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“Can you help me understand what was happening for you?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What did you hear me say?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What part of this feels hardest?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What’s been on your mind lately that I haven’t asked about?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What’s something you want more of right now?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The strongest, most emotionally intelligent couples genuinely see who their partner is becoming, not who they want them to be or who they once were.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. They take responsibility for their emotions and plan how to regulate them together&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Emotionally intelligent couples don’t expect their partner to fix their feelings, but they also don’t shut each other out. A partner’s presence can help them stay regulated and connected, even in anger or frustration.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pausing during conflict is one of the hardest skills. It’s hardest when you’re triggered and least able to access your tools. I often encourage couples to plan ahead with a “clean pause” script, like: “I need 20 minutes so I don’t say something I’ll regret. I’ll come back.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. They stay curious, even during major conflicts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When people feel threatened, the brain loves shortcuts. Emotionally intelligent couples slow this process down and become, in effect, investigators of each other’s inner worlds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Curiosity has been associated with greater closeness and intimacy in conversations, especially during moments of disagreement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Part of why curiosity disappears whether it’s one, 10, or 20 years in is because we start living off our assumptions. We tell ourselves we already know what our partner meant, what they felt, and why they did it because the person across from you is so familiar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The problem is that once you think you already know the story, you stop learning about your partner’s actual experience. Conflict then becomes two competing narratives instead of a shared inquiry into what’s really happening, even when you disagree.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video: The best relationships stay connected regardless of what. https://youtu.be/t3G0YEVtmhI&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-best-relationships-stay-connected-regardless-of-what.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-best-relationships-stay-connected-regardless-of-what.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/t3G0YEVtmhI/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; What sets emotionally intelligent couples apart is their ability to stay connected, even when disagreements arise.

He became a monk and later a Lama, following the Tantric teachings. He was a deeply sincere seeker with great insights, and during his time in monasteries, he was admired for his wisdom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But he often asked uncomfortable questions—questions that mostly went unanswered.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What if our discipline is driven by fear of punishment or a need for validation?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What if we achieve a higher rank and feel proud of it? Isn't that motivation rooted in ego?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why do we need validation that we are "good"?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Isn't our very search for enlightenment an ego trip?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why do we aspire to become a Lama or a Rinpoche?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Might it not be better to just be an ordinary person?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Monk Who Left the Monastery&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One day, he left the monastery for good. He traveled through Tibet, teaching as he went—but he was just as likely to be found in taverns, drinking alcohol with ordinary people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When he visited temples, he would invite the monks to drink with him. If they refused, he would ask:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Are you afraid of the alcohol? Or are you afraid of breaking the rules? Or perhaps you're afraid of losing your status as an honorable monk?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Saint of 5000 Women&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Drukpa Kunley became known for his unconventional methods of enlightening others—especially women, which earned him the title "The Saint of 5000 Women." Women would sometimes seek his blessing through sexual intercourse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;His intention was radical for his time: to show that enlightenment and a healthy sex life are not mutually exclusive. He sought to demonstrate that celibacy is not a requirement for spiritual realization.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How the Mad Saint Saved Bhutan&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At that time, Bhutan was suffering from unfavorable signs that led to bad harvests. The people needed a solution to change their negative karma.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They asked Drukpa Kunley for his blessing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He explained that Bhutan was under a curse from a goddess. To counter it, he introduced sexual Tantra to the kingdom. From that moment on, the curse was lifted, and the land prospered again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Teachings That Challenge&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many religious people came to him for advice. They would list all the practices and sacrifices they had already made on their spiritual path.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;His response cut through their seeking:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"If you have done it the right way, why do you need my validation?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He taught that if you have built a genuine connection—a true faith—in God, you don't need anyone else to validate it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Ego Trap of Enlightenment&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Drukpa Kunley questioned the very goals of the spiritual path:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In Buddhism, the goal is Nirvana, enlightenment, or freedom from rebirth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But he saw these as ego-driven aspirations. You cannot reach them, he suggested, because they were never truly separate from you to begin with.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Sufis say: Don't make a business out of your death. Surrender to God without conditions—not even for paradise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The true Christians, he observed, put God first in every decision, without conditions or bargaining.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why Do We Need Spiritual Titles?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Drukpa Kunley also questioned the need for spiritual titles—Lama, Rinpoche, and so on. These, he pointed out, are creations of the ego.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Purpose vs. Faith&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Western philosophy has created a life built around purpose or mission—think of Tolstoy. This often happens, Drukpa Kunley might observe, when people have lost their faith in God.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The danger of a purpose-driven life is that your purpose can be taken away. You can age, fall ill, or face war—and suddenly your mission is gone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But no one can take away your connection to God.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Faith in God is infinitely superior to any earthly purpose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; Drukpa Kunley: The Mad Saint&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Drukpa-Kunley-The-Mad-Saint.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Drukpa-Kunley-The-Mad-Saint.mp3"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp;In Bhutan, you see many houses and temples decorated with phallus symbols.

He became a monk and later a Lama, following the Tantric teachings. He was a deeply sincere seeker with great insights, and during his time in monasteries, he was admired for his wisdom.

What if we achieve a higher rank and feel proud of it? Isn't that motivation rooted in ego? Why do we need validation that we are "good"? Isn't our very search for enlightenment an ego trip? Why do we aspire to become a Lama or a Rinpoche? Might it not be better to just be an ordinary person? The Monk Who Left the Monastery One day, he left the monastery for good. He traveled through Tibet, teaching as he went—but he was just as likely to be found in taverns, drinking alcohol with ordinary people. When he visited temples, he would invite the monks to drink with him. If they refused, he would ask: "Are you afraid of the alcohol? Or are you afraid of breaking the rules?

It is called:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Perineum&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hui Yin (in Chinese medicine)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The "One Million Dollar Point"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The "Gate of Death"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This point is located in the area of the root chakra, and it connects the root chakra directly to the crown chakra.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Where to find it:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It lies between your legs, between the scrotum and the tip of your tailbone (coccyx). There is a small "cave" or indentation—massage inside this area.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The point may feel tender at first. With regular massage, the tenderness will fade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How to Massage This Point&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Be gentle. Use light pressure—never force it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Use oil. Castor oil is ideal, but any natural cold-pressed oil (like coconut oil) works well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Be consistent. Massage every day. You may begin to notice results after about one month. Continue the practice for life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Get comfortable. Lie down on your bed relaxed, or sit on the edge of a chair with your knees open. If your pelvis is tense, you won't get the full benefit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Timing matters. Do not do this massage right before sexual activity. Do it when you are relaxed, without pressure or expectation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Technique:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Massage the area gently, then press for 5 seconds, release for 5 seconds. Repeat this 4 times.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Raw Cacao: Nature's Performance Booster&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Raw cacao mass supports your entire body—including your sexual vitality. It has one of the highest antioxidant levels of any food, specifically flavonoids, which are superb for cardiovascular health. And good circulation is exactly what your sexual organs need.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Better Cardiovascular and Heart Health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blood Pressure &amp;amp; Circulation: The high level of flavanols in raw cacao helps produce nitric oxide, which relaxes arteries, lowers blood pressure, and improves overall blood flow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Reduced "Bad" Cholesterol: Raw cacao helps reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, preventing plaque formation. This benefit is often lost in heavily processed chocolate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Superior Antioxidant Content&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Raw cacao contains significantly higher levels of antioxidants—specifically flavonoids—because it is not subjected to high heat (roasting) or chemical processing. It has one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scores of any food. Some estimates suggest it has 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. Improved Cognitive Function and Mood&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mental Clarity: Raw cacao boosts focus, memory, and attention span by improving cerebral blood flow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Natural Mood Enhancer: It contains compounds like Anandamide (the "bliss molecule") and Phenylethylamine (PEA), which promote feelings of euphoria and relaxation. These compounds are far more preserved in raw, unprocessed cacao.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4. Higher Mineral Density&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Magnesium: Essential for muscle function, nerve health, and heart health.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Iron: Raw cacao provides a highly absorbable source of plant-based iron—especially valuable for vegetarians and vegans.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Other Minerals: It is also rich in potassium, copper, manganese, and phosphorus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; How to Increase Your Potency? https://youtu.be/pXt7lpbOeNQ&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Increase-Your-Potency.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Increase-Your-Potency.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/pXt7lpbOeNQ/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; Two simple practices can make a profound difference: Massage THIS spot for 1 minute daily to restore potency.

This is one of the most important points in Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

It has one of the highest antioxidant levels of any food, specifically flavonoids, which are superb for cardiovascular health. And good circulation is exactly what your sexual organs need. 1. Better Cardiovascular and Heart Health Blood Pressure &amp;amp; Circulation: The high level of flavanols in raw cacao helps produce nitric oxide, which relaxes arteries, lowers blood pressure, and improves overall blood flow. Reduced "Bad" Cholesterol: Raw cacao helps reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, preventing plaque formation. This benefit is often lost in heavily processed chocolate. 2. Superior Antioxidant Content Raw cacao contains significantly higher levels of antioxidants—specifically flavonoids—because it is not subjected to high heat (roasting) or chemical processing. It has one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scores of any food. Some estimates suggest it has 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries. 3. Improved Cognitive Function and Mood Mental Clarity: Raw cacao boosts focus, memory, and attention span by improving cerebral blood flow. Natural Mood Enhancer: It contains compounds like Anandamide (the "bliss molecule") and Phenylethylamine (PEA), which promote feelings of euphoria and relaxation. These compounds are far more preserved in raw, unprocessed cacao. 4. Higher Mineral Density Magnesium: Essential for muscle function, nerve health, and heart health. Iron: Raw cacao provides a highly absorbable source of plant-based iron—especially valuable for vegetarians and vegans. Other Minerals: It is also rich in potassium, copper, manganese, and phosphorus.

Here is what he discovered.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. You do not have a soul. You are the soul.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. As people drew closer to death, their dreams changed completely.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. In their dreams, the ego began to fade—along with concerns about reputation, wealth, success, and identity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4. Symbols of homelessness, mandalas, circles, and images of completion began to appear.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5. These symbols appeared in a specific sequence, as if the psyche knew that death was near.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6. The psyche was preparing for a transformation—or a return. (Jung explored this deeply in his book Memories, Dreams, Reflections.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7. In their final week, patients stopped fearing death. It wasn't because they had found religion. It was because their unconscious had shown them something—a vision, a knowing—that their "small self" was only a temporary construction. Beneath it, something was waiting. Something that had already been there. Something that did not die.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jung called this the Self—the part of you that existed before you were born and continues after you pass away.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;8. Most people never meet their true Self. They live their entire lives identified with their ego—the small self that is terrified of disappearing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;9. But those who do their inner work—a process Jung called individuation, the integration of the unconscious—they meet their true Self while still alive. And when they do, they no longer fear death.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why? Because they realize that the part of them afraid of dying was never real. The small self, the ego, is just a mask—a temporary structure built to navigate the world. It was never who we truly are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;10. This realization is not about preparing for a next life. It is about waking up—now—and knowing what you really are, before death arrives.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;11. If you wake up before death, you understand that you wasted your life on a false assumption: that you are only the small self, the ego. The ego is not in control. And if you never looked deeper, you missed the one thing that truly matters: the true Self—the eternal part of you that was there before you took birth and will remain long after your death.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;12. Jung also discovered a pattern in the dreams of dying people—four stages that emerged months before death. He saw these as the psyche preparing for the final curtain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stage One: The Journey&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The person dreams of journeys—long roads, distant lands, crossing rivers, climbing mountains.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stage Two: The Guides&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dreams fill with animals, old figures, and guides. Jung called these archetypes—universal symbols that appear in every culture, like the Wise Old Man or the Great Mother. When these figures appeared night after night, Jung knew the dreamer was being guided—not by the conscious mind, but by something deeper. The true Self was preparing them for what comes next.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stage Three: The Light&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The dreams become luminous. They are filled with light, golden views, glowing cities, radiant figures. Patients would wake and describe these dreams with tears in their eyes—not from sadness, but because the dreams felt so real. The unconscious was showing them their true Self, the place they were about to return to.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stage Four: The Dissolution&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the final stage, the person stops dreaming about themselves. The individual self fades away. Instead, they dream in symbols—unity, circles, mandalas, spirals. The true Self has fully emerged. No longer separated. No longer alone. Connected to something infinite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In these final dreams, the ego dissolves. What remains is pure consciousness—no longer personal, but universal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;13. Jung documented these four stages across different cultures and belief systems. The pattern was always the same.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And he noted that those who practice contemplation—who do the inner work—can experience the true Self without being in the process of dying.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; Carl Jung's Final Message Before He Died https://youtu.be/sZa6rGbPFzY&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Carl-Jung's-Final-Message-Before-He-Died.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Carl-Jung's-Final-Message-Before-He-Died.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/sZa6rGbPFzY/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; For many years, Carl Jung studied dying people and published his observations shortly before his own death.

In relationships, small problems are blown up to immense problems…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For what is that good?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We want to solve our problems and don’t want to enlarge them in the future…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just solve them in the here and now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Strategy go in baby steps…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you want to go from A to B in the night you can see only 50m, and you have to go 400km… Should you panic, or you ask what is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If I am going wrong&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Or I have an accident&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If I am not on time&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If I have not enough petrol, even you have…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This leads to nothing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is always enough to solve the problems that you have right now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We go forward, stubbornly forward regardless how the situation looks projected in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We don’t know the future and to assume the worst case scenery makes life awful.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are five things good relationships do regularly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. They always resolve conflicts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Secure couples argue, sometimes passionately. In fact, research shows that they’re quite skilled at it. The difference is that they don’t sweep problems under the rug or storm off indefinitely.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Instead, they face discomfort head-on, acknowledging hurt feelings, admitting faults and tolerating the awkwardness of disagreement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Most importantly, they always adjust their behavior afterward. For a conflict to truly end, it must leave both partners feeling heard and respected.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. They give each other freedom&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Emotionally secure couples enjoy nights out separately, maintain friendships outside the relationship, and pursue personal goals without guilt. They know trust grows when closeness and autonomy coexist.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Constant proximity is not a measure of intimacy. Secure partners understand that individuality fuels attraction and energy, making time together richer and more rewarding.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. They don’t narrate each other’s feelings&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In insecure relationships, partners often assume they know what the other is thinking: “You’re distant because you don’t care,” or, “You’re mad because I didn’t take your advice.” This can escalate misunderstandings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Secure couples strive to resist this impulse: When one of them seems off, the other asks and then listens. They ask, they listen and they trust the answers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you trust your partner will tell you what you need to know, you don’t feel compelled to read between the lines.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4. They make space for boredom&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not every phase of a healthy relationship has to feel electric. Workweeks, errands, and responsibilities can make life feel repetitive. In insecure couples, this monotony can trigger panic or doubt about the “spark.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Emotionally secure couples, on the other hand, know not to panic when things sometimes feel monotonous. They see steadiness as a sign of safety, not stagnation, and recognize that love isn’t meant to feel like a constant high.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5. They don’t outsource reassurance&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Even secure people have moments of doubt, but they don’t bombard each other with constant “Do you love me?” check-ins, nor do they withdraw in protest when reassurance isn’t immediate. They rely on evidence from their actions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; Real Relationships have real problems https://youtu.be/utfbigq_9Yw&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Real-Relationships-have-real-problems.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Real-Relationships-have-real-problems.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/utfbigq_9Yw/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; Many people assume emotional security means never feeling jealous, arguing or questioning where they stand.

In insecure couples, this monotony can trigger panic or doubt about the “spark.” Emotionally secure couples, on the other hand, know not to panic when things sometimes feel monotonous. They see steadiness as a sign of safety, not stagnation, and recognize that love isn’t meant to feel like a constant high. 5. They don’t outsource reassuranceEven secure people have moments of doubt, but they don’t bombard each other with constant “Do you love me?” check-ins, nor do they withdraw in protest when reassurance isn’t immediate. They rely on evidence from their actions.

This cycle continues until you die.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You will never be at peace with yourself or truly happy as long as you operate from a place of wanting more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Society constantly tells you to want more. Successful people teach that you deserve more and, in the best cases, give you a plan to get it. But even when you succeed and gain a lot, the desire remains: you want more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gandhi said, “The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.” It is the same for the greedy soul; there will never be enough.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We apply this logic to our relationships, too. We think we deserve a better spouse, and our spouse often thinks the same of us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are told we must improve every day, do better every day. This mantra implies we are perpetually incomplete and never good enough.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stop and ask yourself:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Good enough for what?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When will you be good enough?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What happens as you age and your abilities naturally decline?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Chances are, you will die before you ever feel you are “good enough.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What if, instead, you chose to enjoy your time in the here and now?

Softness is mistaken for surrender.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In politics, relationships, and business, showing too much generosity or empathy is often interpreted as an opening — a weakness to be exploited. It can feel like we’re still living in a jungle where only the strong survive, and morality is a luxury few can afford.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But is that the whole truth?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Does living effectively mean we must be ruthless or rigid all the time?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not at all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What it calls for is not the abandonment of kindness, but the pairing of compassion with clarity, boundaries, and the willingness to act when needed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Classroom Principle&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Imagine you’re a teacher with a room full of students aged 8 to 15.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you walk in with only softness and no structure, chaos follows. The moment they sense indecision, inconsistency, or emotional fragility, the dynamic shifts. Authority crumbles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But if you embody calm strength, clear rules, and fair discipline, something else happens:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The classroom becomes a space of safety. Students know what to expect. They feel held.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They might test the boundaries — that’s natural — but they also understand there are consequences.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And within that structure, real learning — and yes, real caring — can flourish.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love Without Awareness Is Suffering&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There’s a proverb from the Bhagavad Gita that captures this perfectly:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“Love without awareness is suffering.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love is not weakness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love doesn’t mean you avoid punishing misbehavior.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Love means doing what is truly best for the other person in that moment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But what is “best”?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It’s that which benefits their growth, stability, or well-being — even when it’s uncomfortable in the short term.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you let your children grow without morality, discipline, or direction, is that loving?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Most of us would say no. True love sometimes looks like saying no. It looks like holding the line.

In any relationship — romantic, professional, or social — when situations escalate or boundaries are crossed, intervention is necessary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That intervention may take the form of:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A firm conversation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A clear consequence.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In extreme cases, what some might call a “punishment” or corrective action.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But here’s the crucial part — and where conscious strength differs from mere dominance:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the correction comes forgiveness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the boundary is re-established, you return to kindness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You don’t hold a grudge. You don’t weaponize past mistakes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You restore the relationship from a place of strength, not resentment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It’s a cycle:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Boundary → Consequence → Forgiveness → Love.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, Must We Be Ruthless?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;No. We must be conscious.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Benevolence without boundaries is an invitation to be taken advantage of.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Strength without compassion is just tyranny.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The balance lies in knowing when to extend an open hand and when to show a firm one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It’s understanding that real love protects — and sometimes protection requires saying “this far, and no further.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We may live in a world that still operates on jungle rules in many ways, but we don’t have to become beasts to navigate it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We can be both kind and strong.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Both loving and disciplined.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Both generous and discerning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That’s not weakness — that’s wisdom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And perhaps, in the end, that’s the truest form of strength there is.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What do you think?

Softness is mistaken for surrender. In politics, relationships, and business, showing too much generosity or empathy is often interpreted as an opening — a weakness to be exploited. It can feel like we’re still living in a jungle where only the strong survive, and morality is a luxury few can afford. But is that the whole truth?Does living effectively mean we must be ruthless or rigid all the time? Not at all. What it calls for is not the abandonment of kindness, but the pairing of compassion with clarity, boundaries, and the willingness to act when needed. The Classroom PrincipleImagine you’re a teacher with a room full of students aged 8 to 15.If you walk in with only softness and no structure, chaos follows. The moment they sense indecision, inconsistency, or emotional fragility, the dynamic shifts. Authority crumbles. But if you embody calm strength, clear rules, and fair discipline, something else happens:The classroom becomes a space of safety. Students know what to expect. They feel held.They might test the boundaries — that’s natural — but they also understand there are consequences.And within that structure, real learning — and yes, real caring — can flourish. Love Without Awareness Is SufferingThere’s a proverb from the Bhagavad Gita that captures this perfectly:“Love without awareness is suffering.” Love is not weakness.Love doesn’t mean you avoid punishing misbehavior.Love means doing what is truly best for the other person in that moment. But what is “best”?It’s that which benefits their growth, stability, or well-being — even when it’s uncomfortable in the short term. If you let your children grow without morality, discipline, or direction, is that loving?Most of us would say no. True love sometimes looks like saying no. It looks like holding the line. It looks like allowing a consequence to unfold so a deeper lesson is learned. The Formula for Conscious StrengthThis applies far beyond parenting. In any relationship — romantic, professional, or social — when situations escalate or boundaries are crossed, intervention is necessary. That intervention may take the form of: A firm conversation. A clear consequence. In extreme cases, what some might call a “punishment” or corrective action. But here’s the crucial part — and where conscious strength differs from mere dominance: After the correction comes forgiveness.After the boundary is re-established, you return to kindness.You don’t hold a grudge. You don’t weaponize past mistakes.You restore the relationship from a place of strength, not resentment. It’s a cycle:Boundary → Consequence → Forgiveness → Love. So, Must We Be Ruthless?No. We must be conscious. Benevolence without boundaries is an invitation to be taken advantage of.Strength without compassion is just tyranny. The balance lies in knowing when to extend an open hand and when to show a firm one.It’s understanding that real love protects — and sometimes protection requires saying “this far, and no further.” We may live in a world that still operates on jungle rules in many ways, but we don’t have to become beasts to navigate it.We can be both kind and strong.Both loving and disciplined.Both generous and discerning. That’s not weakness — that’s wisdom.And perhaps, in the end, that’s the truest form of strength there is. What do you think?

Below are the four best, research-backed formulas for healing and supporting your eyes using seeds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Golden Rule: Grind and Soak&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In every case, you must grind and soak the seeds in liquid. Otherwise, your gut cannot absorb the nutrients—and in some cases, it can even be dangerous.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I personally blend tomatoes, cucumber, and pepper, then add freshly ground seeds and let them soak for 5–10 minutes. Alternatively, I add the ground seeds to my smoothie and blend them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Important warning: Some seeds, like chia and flax, absorb 4–5 times their volume in liquid. They expand into a large mass.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How to kill a horse?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you give a horse oats first and then water, the grain swells so rapidly in the gut that it can rupture. The safe way is to let the horse drink water first, then eat the grain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The same principle applies to humans.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Never eat dry grains (like chia or flax seeds) and then drink water. Always soak them first.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Hemp Seeds for the Eyes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dosage: 30 grams (about 3 tablespoons)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Preparation: Grind fresh, soak for at least 5 minutes, then eat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Best time: Every morning for maximum benefit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Research Results:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;32% reduction in ocular inflammation after 6 weeks&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Helped with dry eyes and sharper morning vision within 10 days&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calms irritation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Chia Seeds with Coconut Oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dosage: 30 grams chia seeds + 120 ml liquid + 1 teaspoon coconut or olive oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Preparation: Grind chia seeds fresh, soak in liquid, add oil, then eat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Best time: Every morning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Research Results:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;38% improvement in tear film stability in just 3 weeks&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Less dry eyes, less burning, less of that "scratchy" feeling&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Eye lubrication improves within 1–2 days&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cataract prevention and repair: approximately 90 days&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.

Sunflower Seeds with Avocado and Lemon Juice&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dosage: 36 grams raw, unsalted sunflower seeds + ¼ ripe avocado + juice of ½ lemon&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Preparation: Grind sunflower seeds fresh, add liquid, add avocado and lemon juice, then eat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Best time: Every morning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Research Results (for people over 55, studied over 18 months):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;25% reduced risk of cataract progression&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;34% improvement in lens clarity measurements&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;41% reduction in oxidative damage markers&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Measurable slowdown in age-related macular degeneration&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Reduced eye fatigue within hours&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Morning blurriness starts clearing within days&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After 90 days of consistent use: structural eye repair&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Suggested Rotation Plan&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To get a wide range of nutrients, rotate these four formulas:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Morning 1: Hemp seeds&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Morning 2: Chia seeds with coconut oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Morning 3: Ground flaxseed with avocado&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Morning 4: Sunflower seeds with avocado and lemon juice&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then repeat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Final Reminder&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Always consult your eye doctor before starting any new health regimen—even natural ones.

It struck me that what truly resonates isn't advice on success, but reflections on what we mean to other people. On connection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I should know. I’ve died three times—or had three Near-Death Experiences. Once, my entire body was paralyzed. Believe me, there are things worse than death. These encounters strip everything back to what is essential.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is what I learned matters most:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That you enjoy your life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That you connect with God (or the Divine, or the Universe—whatever you call it).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That you share your love openly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That you live a healthy lifestyle with a plant-based diet and consistent movement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Looking back, I am deeply grateful for the path I chose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I followed my heart. I shared love and sexuality with the women I desired. I even experienced the Divine through a profound, tantric connection with my partner—a revelation for a former atheist. Yes, separation hurts. But to share that level of intimacy with someone you love is priceless. When you are old, that window closes. I am grateful for the therapy and inner work that freed me to love, overcoming the traumas that once locked my heart away. Today, I am not married, but I live with a woman I chose. We met 20 years ago and have shared love and intimacy freely, without the confines of a traditional marriage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am also happy for the over ten years I spent in meditation retreats, living in celibacy. That surrender to God is a treasure beyond measure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am happy for my health and fitness, the direct result of my lifestyle choices.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sure, I’m proud of my work as an engineer designing high-tech systems. But it was only a part of my life—and one that often disconnected me from myself. I couldn't stop solving technical problems, even in the middle of the night.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do not get trapped by success or money. Without a connection to something greater, everything you gain feels meaningless in the end.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My mother, whose family lost everything in WWII, would tell us: "Close your eyes. Only what you see now, you truly own." You can lose possessions, status, even people. But you cannot lose God once you have surrendered.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you enjoy your life and do the things that call to you, you will never regret those happy moments. You will, however, regret the strenuous work that proved futile. Ask yourself: How much are you sacrificing for a little more success, recognition, or money?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today, a new trap is destroying lives: smartphone and social media addiction. Suicide rates and unhappiness are at their highest because of it. Everywhere, you see parents who care more for their screens than for their children.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So here is my final insight: Give your space to living people. Open your heart. Love.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And remember: prevention is the best doctor. Choose a healthy lifestyle not just for your body, but for your soul. That is a life that makes sense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; Does Your Life Make Sense? https://youtu.be/qKpeIGVRAcs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Does-Your-Life-Make-Sense.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Does-Your-Life-Make-Sense.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/qKpeIGVRAcs/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; Maybe It Shouldn't.I’ve watched those viral videos where elderly people share their life insights—the ones with millions of views.

Add in a lunch break (1 hour), a commute (1 hour), and suddenly you’re at 50 hours dedicated to work each week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then there’s life’s maintenance: eating, preparing food, cleaning, shopping—call it 2.5 hours a day. Exercise for 30 minutes. Quality time with family, a spouse, or a hobby: 2 hours. That’s another 5 hours daily.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sleep? That’s 8 hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Add it all up on a workday: 23 hours accounted for. That leaves just 1 hour truly free.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What about the weekends?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sleep: 8 hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Maintenance (food, chores, shopping): 3 hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Exercise: 30 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Quality time: 2.5 hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Total: 14 hours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That leaves 10 hours free each weekend day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, across a week, you have roughly 1 free hour each workday and 10 each weekend day. That’s 25 hours a week you could direct toward something special.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Over 51 weeks (excluding vacation), that sums to 1,275 hours. A year has 8,760 hours. This means 14.5% of your year is discretionary time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let that sink in. 85.5% of your time is committed. But 14.5% is yours to design.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And yet, for most people, that 14.5% vanishes—often into the void of social media, endless scrolling, or tasks that feel urgent but aren’t important.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, the real question is: Where is your 14.5% actually going?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is where people get stuck. They feel busy, assume they’re productive, and live off stories like: “I don’t have time,” “This week was crazy,” or “I’ve just been slammed.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But have you ever truly looked at where your time is lost?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Think about it this way: If you wanted to get in the best shape of your life, a good trainer wouldn’t start by screaming at you to run harder. They’d say, “Track everything you eat for a month.” Because you can’t improve what you refuse to measure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Time works the same way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That 14.5% is supposedly “yours,” but most of us are flying blind. We have opinions and excuses, but no real data.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can’t fix what you won’t look at.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Challenge: Your Time Audit&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the next seven days, I want you to track everything you do in 30-minute increments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yes, everything. Work, commute, meals, dishes, deep work, scrolling, Netflix, gym, walking the dog, family time. All of it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(You’ll get even deeper insights if you do this for 30 days, but start with just seven.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know how this sounds. It’s intense. You’re basically choosing to become a time-obsessive for a week. But I promise, if you do it, this will be one of the most eye-opening exercises of your year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I do this regularly to see how I lose my precious time. I want to learn piano and improve my Thai. If I want to do that, I need to find the time for it—without burning out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Three Rules for a Successful Audit&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Before you start, follow these three rules so you don’t accidentally ruin the whole point.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rule 1: Do NOT Alter Your Week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the biggest mistake. People treat the audit like a performance review and try to “win” by looking good on paper. Don’t. If you normally game for four hours, log four hours. If you scroll for two hours before bed, log it. The goal is not a perfect week; it’s your real week. You can’t plug leaks you refuse to write down.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rule 2: Look for Patterns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don’t obsess over one weird day. Zoom out. Patterns are where the leaks live. Track for a week (or a month) and calmly analyze where the hours go.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rule 3: Stay Curious, Not Critical.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You’re going to see things you don’t love. That’s normal.

Resting. Screwing around. Doing absolutely nothing “productive” on purpose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This audit is not about turning your free time into a second job. It’s not about squeezing every drop from your life like you’re optimizing a robot. It’s about making sure you’re spending your time on purpose instead of by accident.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Because often, the leak isn’t “fun.” The leak is the weird stuff that sneaks in: the scrolling that doesn’t even feel good, the half-working/half-distracting limbo, the activities that look like rest but leave you more drained.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The audit shows you the difference.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have very productive days where I don’t lose time. And I have to “pay” for those with rest. Don’t become a robot that just functions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The opposite trap is procrastination—wasting time on meaningless things instead of truly enjoying it. We often think we can’t enjoy our time because we’ve wasted it. Our bad conscience drives more procrastination.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Instead, first ensure you enjoy your time to become productive. Your inner child will sabotage your efforts if it doesn’t get playtime.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First, enjoy time.

Add in a lunch break (1 hour), a commute (1 hour), and suddenly you’re at 50 hours dedicated to work each week. Then there’s life’s maintenance: eating, preparing food, cleaning, shopping—call it 2.5 hours a day. Exercise for 30 minutes. Quality time with family, a spouse, or a hobby: 2 hours. That’s another 5 hours daily. Sleep? That’s 8 hours. Add it all up on a workday: 23 hours accounted for. That leaves just 1 hour truly free. What about the weekends?Sleep: 8 hours.Maintenance (food, chores, shopping): 3 hours.Exercise: 30 minutes.Quality time: 2.5 hours.Total: 14 hours. That leaves 10 hours free each weekend day. So, across a week, you have roughly 1 free hour each workday and 10 each weekend day. That’s 25 hours a week you could direct toward something special. Over 51 weeks (excluding vacation), that sums to 1,275 hours. A year has 8,760 hours. This means 14.5% of your year is discretionary time. Let that sink in. 85.5% of your time is committed. But 14.5% is yours to design. And yet, for most people, that 14.5% vanishes—often into the void of social media, endless scrolling, or tasks that feel urgent but aren’t important. So, the real question is: Where is your 14.5% actually going? This is where people get stuck. They feel busy, assume they’re productive, and live off stories like: “I don’t have time,” “This week was crazy,” or “I’ve just been slammed.” But have you ever truly looked at where your time is lost? Think about it this way: If you wanted to get in the best shape of your life, a good trainer wouldn’t start by screaming at you to run harder. They’d say, “Track everything you eat for a month.” Because you can’t improve what you refuse to measure. Time works the same way. That 14.5% is supposedly “yours,” but most of us are flying blind. We have opinions and excuses, but no real data. You can’t fix what you won’t look at. The Challenge: Your Time AuditFor the next seven days, I want you to track everything you do in 30-minute increments. Yes, everything. Work, commute, meals, dishes, deep work, scrolling, Netflix, gym, walking the dog, family time. All of it. (You’ll get even deeper insights if you do this for 30 days, but start with just seven.) I know how this sounds. It’s intense. You’re basically choosing to become a time-obsessive for a week. But I promise, if you do it, this will be one of the most eye-opening exercises of your year. I do this regularly to see how I lose my precious time. I want to learn piano and improve my Thai. If I want to do that, I need to find the time for it—without burning out. Three Rules for a Successful AuditBefore you start, follow these three rules so you don’t accidentally ruin the whole point. Rule 1: Do NOT Alter Your Week. This is the biggest mistake. People treat the audit like a performance review and try to “win” by looking good on paper. Don’t. If you normally game for four hours, log four hours. If you scroll for two hours before bed, log it. The goal is not a perfect week; it’s your real week. You can’t plug leaks you refuse to write down. Rule 2: Look for Patterns. Don’t obsess over one weird day. Zoom out. Patterns are where the leaks live. Track for a week (or a month) and calmly analyze where the hours go. Rule 3: Stay Curious, Not Critical. You’re going to see things you don’t love. That’s normal. But if you use this audit as ammunition to beat yourself up, it stops working. Treat everything like data—like a scientist running an experiment, emotionally detached from the outcome. Guilt is terrible fuel. It burns hot for a day, then you crash, back at zero with extra shame on top. Remember: This is about catching patterns you didn’t consciously choose, so you can choose differently. Your Permission SlipHere’s the truth about your 14.5%. Some of it should go to deep work—the stuff that moves your life forward and makes you proud when your head hits the pillow. And some of it should go to being a human. Resting. Screwing around.

However, polysaccharides, vitamins, and water inside ginger are suitable for microbial reproduction and are prone to mold. To prevent ginger from becoming moldy and maintain its bright color, it is common to fumigate ginger with sulfur. This process can easily lead to excessive sulfur dioxide, which is seriously harmful to the human body. The residual sulfur dioxide in herbal medicine can not only cause bad taste, but can also cause respiratory symptoms such as coughing, chest tightness, and throat irritation. At the same time, residual sulfur dioxide within ginger may react chemically with other ingredients, changing the composition or content of the effective ingredients, thereby affecting the quality of ginger. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct quality testing on ginger to determine whether it is sulfur-fumigated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; Buy Organic: Certified organic ginger is prohibited from being treated with synthetic sulfur dioxide.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Buy Local or "Living Ginger": Look for ginger at farmers' markets or in stores that sell "living ginger" (with green shoots still attached). It's less likely to have been treated for long-distance shipping.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I tried to buy organic Ginger in Krabi/Thailand and even the organic Ginger was sulfur-fumigated…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After I checked all the markets, there was only one old woman who sold organic Ginger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the internet I could not buy organic Ginger and normally I can buy online nearly every vegetable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How to identify organic Ginger…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The sulfur-fumigated Ginger has a strong and shinny peel, you can only remove the peel with a knife and this Ginger is white inside.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The organic Ginger has a very thin peel similar to New Potatoes that goes off by itself, or just rub the peel off. And this Ginger is inside yellowish…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Grow Your Own Ginger is surprisingly easy to grow in a pot from an organic rhizome.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Peeling and Soaking: If you must use conventional ginger, peel it thoroughly and soak it in warm water for 15-30 minutes. This can help reduce surface-level residues.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;With which vegetables can you substitute Ginger?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These vegetable provide a pungent, warming quality similar to ginger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Galangal: The closest relative.

Use it as a 1:1 substitute.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Turmeric (Fresh): Provides earthiness and a warm, peppery flavor. It won't be as sharp, but it gives a beautiful yellow color and is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Use about 1.5 times the amount of ginger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Horseradish (Freshly Grated): Delivers a powerful, sharp, sinus-clearing heat. It's best in sauces, dressings, or with roasted meats. Start with half the amount of ginger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Daikon Radish: When cooked, it becomes mild and slightly sweet, but when raw, it has a sharp, peppery bite that can mimic ginger in salads or pickles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For Medicinal &amp;amp; Tea Purposes (Anti-inflammatory, Digestive Aid):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These are your best bets for replicating ginger's health benefits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Turmeric (+ Black Pepper): The #1 alternative. Curcumin in turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory.

At the same time, residual sulfur dioxide within ginger may react chemically with other ingredients, changing the composition or content of the effective ingredients, thereby affecting the quality of ginger. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct quality testing on ginger to determine whether it is sulfur-fumigated. &amp;nbsp; Buy Organic: Certified organic ginger is prohibited from being treated with synthetic sulfur dioxide. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Buy Local or "Living Ginger": Look for ginger at farmers' markets or in stores that sell "living ginger" (with green shoots still attached). It's less likely to have been treated for long-distance shipping. I tried to buy organic Ginger in Krabi/Thailand and even the organic Ginger was sulfur-fumigated…After I checked all the markets, there was only one old woman who sold organic Ginger.On the internet I could not buy organic Ginger and normally I can buy online nearly every vegetable.&amp;nbsp; How to identify organic Ginger…The sulfur-fumigated Ginger has a strong and shinny peel, you can only remove the peel with a knife and this Ginger is white inside. The organic Ginger has a very thin peel similar to New Potatoes that goes off by itself, or just rub the peel off. And this Ginger is inside yellowish… Grow Your Own Ginger is surprisingly easy to grow in a pot from an organic rhizome. &amp;nbsp;Peeling and Soaking: If you must use conventional ginger, peel it thoroughly and soak it in warm water for 15-30 minutes. This can help reduce surface-level residues. With which vegetables can you substitute Ginger? These vegetable provide a pungent, warming quality similar to ginger. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Galangal: The closest relative. It's a bit sharper, more citrusy and piney. Essential in Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine. Use it as a 1:1 substitute. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Turmeric (Fresh): Provides earthiness and a warm, peppery flavor. It won't be as sharp, but it gives a beautiful yellow color and is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Use about 1.5 times the amount of ginger. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Horseradish (Freshly Grated): Delivers a powerful, sharp, sinus-clearing heat. It's best in sauces, dressings, or with roasted meats. Start with half the amount of ginger. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Daikon Radish: When cooked, it becomes mild and slightly sweet, but when raw, it has a sharp, peppery bite that can mimic ginger in salads or pickles. For Medicinal &amp;amp; Tea Purposes (Anti-inflammatory, Digestive Aid): These are your best bets for replicating ginger's health benefits. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Turmeric (+ Black Pepper): The #1 alternative. Curcumin in turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory. Crucially, always combine with a pinch of black pepper, which increases curcumin absorption by 2000%. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Galangal: Also used extensively in traditional medicine for digestion and inflammation. It's a very close functional substitute. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Meadowsweet Herb: Excellent for soothing digestive issues and stomach aches, much like ginger. Brew as a tea. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Angelica Root: Used in traditional medicine for bloating, cramping, and loss of appetite. Has a warm, slightly bitter flavor. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Quick Guide: Which Alternative to use alternatives to ginger when you cook?If the Recipe/Use Is...
