Myon @ Shane 54 – Not A Lot Left
I like this song mainly due to the repeated line in it.. Maybe one of the things I like about electronic music is it fits my kind of not-Status-quo tastes..

It doesn’t help that I watched this on a day where I feel crap. So I guess I overloaded my adrenals this morning with a coffee :/ I had 60 grams of carbs in the form of baked potatoes over lunch going with the theme of not caring (daily total 114 carbs, 154 protein and 161 fat, with dinner before 5.. fasting time). I watched ‘The Act of Killing’ which the Director Josh Oppenheimer describes as showing the underbelly of the society which we live in. It’s interesting how it shows the emotional struggle of the main character, basically a genocidal serial killer. Interesting as I think his struggle forms the individual version of the struggle we see in capitalism; confused in it’s malignant nature.
The film remind me of the saying ‘play with pigs and you’ll get dirty’. Anyway, after reading several of Stan Grofs books, I’m optimistic about the cyclical nature of death and rebirth on a collective scale – in the polarised sense that you can’t know light without darkness.
In the Lift Heavy Things part of this post 90 second rests between sets was the recommended time. Awesome I’ll note that down. Wait I just did
My sleep was ok last night; not perfect but ehh.
I have to say I’m pretty happy with this diet. I wasn’t super hungry this morning, after ~15 hours without food, including a good Bjj session. This possibly points to ketosis, which is great. Smooth energy so far today, and feel like a clarity is germinating in my perspective; almost to the point where someone might ask what I was on. We’ll see where this leads.
I was keeping my carb intake pretty dam low for around the last week, between 50 and 100g per day (going off the food nutrition data I’ve been using).. aand I don’t think I was getting the required carbs, I’m going for 100 per day now, which I think will provide better satiation. I have been feeling low energy for the last few days which I’m not super happy about, I think I trained too hard last week and stressed my body too much, resulting in a cold and a cold sore…
I’ve stopped coffee, just 1 black tea in the morning = less cortisol stress from caffeine. No caffeine after 2 pm.. Less green tea as well since that is a stressor. I think the build towards being a ‘fat burning beast’ needs to be a slower one.
This is an interesting link on fasting, something to look into possibly, extending my fast from 11 hours daily around my sleep cycle to perhaps up to 24 as an experiment, when I already feel good as a starting point.
Just stumbled on this… The Low Carb Flu
heard it here:
The Anjunadeep Edition 96 With James Grant (Live from Anjunadeep in Miami @ Cafeina)
Had to take antibiotics, searched on marksdailyapple.com and found some solutions 😀
Would be interesting to see how these change after a week, since I started Vitamin B and salt yesterday and D a few days ago.
Also may need to look into DHEA and D12 levels (or something)…
Sometimes, like today, I find I can gather a real sense of comprehensive sovereignty with regard to my perspective through a meditation. This morning – half an hour ago – I was feeling clouded, not that I have seen some strong change. I sat down to meditate, caught myself planning a web server for a cooling fan for a data storage cabinet. Then I remembered Joe Rogan talking about ‘the land of distractions and bullshit’ or something like that. He said it takes him possibly 30 minutes to navigate this thought space in ‘the tank’. Once I caught myself here, I allowed myself to feel safe and observe the weeds, glimpse my fears and allow thoughts to flow. I have observed many times since Ayahuasca that my thoughts sometimes take on a flowing sensation, like a vine twisting and moving, I guess if I were to describe it, it would be like a dynamic life like flow of I guess roots may be a good analogy.. but it’s just thoughts. then again everything physical made by physical humans started out as thought.
