  3. Has anyone here achieved super consciousness?

    I think it is important that you define super consciousness in order to receive an accurate answer to your question.

    Your Political Compass Economic Left/Right: -2.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.97 I do not think this is very accurate, but it was fun to do.

  14. Why do people go bald?

    People go bald for various reasons, genetics is probably the number one cause for men. There are various skin conditions that cause hair loss and alopecia is a big one for women. Hair grows in stages throughout our lives, there are times when the hair follicle becomes dormant and some hair is lost, this is often seen in people more mature in age. Vitamin deficiencies contribute, especially lack of iron, thyroid disease and stress are also causes for noticeable hair loss. Certain medications and hormone level abnormalities are a factors as well. I am sure there are many more, but these are a few that come to mind and have discussed with clients over the years. I am unaware of ways to regrow the hair naturally, however there are quite a few supplements on the market that tout remarkable regrowth.
  15. Practices for Pregnant women

    Yoga is always a good thing for pregnant women. There are many prenatal routines that can be found online, I even noticed some qi gong and tai chi videos. Sitting mediation is good too. Personally, I would not start any new cultivation practices without speaking to my OB and without out a good, experienced teacher, especially during the first trimester when the unborn child is most vulnerable. Good luck & congrats on the new baby!

    Simply stated to me this means to be still and take notice.
  17. Hillary and Trump

    While I certainly sympathize and have great compassion for you and those who suffer from PTSD as a result of trauma, I was referring to my life experience and my choice to not live in fear of or be alarmed by something that may or may not happen.
  18. Hillary and Trump

    I did do drills in school, so you can take your assertions that I have no understanding of what the reality of such rhetoric is off the table. The potential for nuclear strikes/war is out there, nuclear weapons are in the hands of some of our country's enemies, but are we all running to bomb shelters and hiding under our desks? No, no we are not. Living in fear and being an alarmists are choices that I choose not to partake in. Reality is reality, I nor you can change it with a singular vote for either party.
  19. Hillary and Trump

    I understand that they are both idiots, and have not fully thought out the consequences of their proposed or current actions and activities, criminal or not. Your comments in relation to my understanding of what the reality of a nuclear strike anywhere in the world would mean are quite belittling of my intelligence, Mr. rails. Let's not make this personal.
  20. Hillary and Trump

    There evidence is there for indictments, our system is so corrupt, all the way up to the White House, and hell bent on protecting Hillary that it will never happen. If there was no crime then why are immunity deals for her staffers being handed out like candy on Halloween? Look at Petraeus, are Hillary's handling of classified documents not along the same lines, but of a greater magnitude? Petraeus was not a presidential candidate and did not have the future of the Democratic party in his pocket, therein lies the difference. If you are assuming that my disdain for Hillary is in support of Trump, you are sorely mistaken. I would rather write in my dog's on the ballot than vote for either of them. That being said, I am still undecided, but I can assure you that I will not be drawing any lines next to Mrs. Clinton's bid for the Presidency.
  21. Hillary and Trump

    MODERATION NOTICE Let's keep not call names and make things personal here guys. This is a long running thread and some pretty passionate ideas are at play here, please remember TDB insult and personal attack policies when posting. I see no need to call anyone out here, but if the shoe fits... ***
  22. Hillary and Trump

    So what does it say about a woman who thinks Hillary should be behind bars, unlike some of her fellow Americans who committed lesser crimes along the same lines and are serving jail time? Not wanting her for President has nothing to do with her being a woman, it has everything to do with her criminal resume that is played down, if not covered up by mainstream media, talking heads, FBI and Justice Department minions and even offices as high as the Oval. Her health issues aside, the piles of conspiracy and proof that she was involved in cover ups of both Benghazi and the email scandal, along with the controversy surrounding the Clinton Foundation, and covering up her husband's sexual assaults on women are enough for me to nix her as a candidate worthy of the power granted by a Presidential term. This woman would love to see a woman in the Oval office, but the likes of Hillary Clinton is not who I would like to see in all of the history books celebrated as the first woman President. She is just not worthy!
