What Is Real Money?

I finally get it.  All fiat currencies operate exactly as a credit card.  Every fiat system is stealing borrowed time.  Real money a.k.a.,"Gold & Silver" function as a debit card allowing us to share our wealth instead of taking it from our future.

How to burn off those Thanksgiving calories

I will share my fool proof weight-loss regimen to burn off that Thanksgiving weight gain:

 

I use the one third approach. I eat 1/3 protein, 1/3 fats, and 1/3 carbs. Limit your daily consumption to around 3 ounces of protein, 3 ounces of fats and 3 ounces of carbohydrates per day. You can eat as many meals throughout the day as long as you stick to these guidelines. I personally eat 4 to 5 meals per day. Exercise at least 20 minutes a day by doing simple house chores, walking your dog or bicycling. This will increase your metabolism for several hours even after your workout. Remember to take these supplements: Multivitamin, Calcium Citrate, Fish Oil Extract. Stay hydrated. Expect to lose at least 1.5 pounds per week on average. Cheers!

The secret to losing 6 to 8 pounds per month without the guesswork!

Okay,

I have discovered a simply way to lose weight faster than ever before! Are you ready? If so, then let’s begin. There are 3 rules you must follow to burn fat:

Rule#1) Avoid refined carbohydrates as much as possible. I recommend no more than 56 grams per day.

Rule#2) Buy a smaller bowl/dinner plate and only eat Half the amount you normally eat. I recommend to eat no more than 1750 calories per day.

Rule#3) Move your body for at least 20 minutes per day.

You’re probably thinking that you will be hungry all time, right? Wrong. I will share with you the #1 cause of hunger - refined sugar! Don’t believe me? Then try this: eat 2 Krispy Kreme doughnuts with your favorite sweet beverage. I guarantee your sugar cravings will have your stomach growling in less than 3 hrs. Why? It is fact that sugar is the most addictive drug on the planet...even more than nicotine. Don’t believe me? Google it.

Now try this: eat a quarter pound cheeseburger with a beverage that contains no sugar(such as coffee or ice tea with Stevia as a no calorie sweetener). Did you notice that you felt much more satisfied 3 hrs later compared to the Krispy Kreme doughnuts that you ate before? Of course you did!

But why? The #1 reason we overeat is because the more refined carbohydrates we eat - the more hungry we get! So here’s the caveat: You can get away with eating 50% less than usual without hunger pains only by avoiding excessive sugar intake! Personally, I only drink coffee, tea with Stevia or lots of water. I only drink soda once in a blue moon because it causes sugar cravings/hunger pains. And it’s okay to eat 5 or 6 times a day as long as you don’t go over 1750 calories within a 24 hour period.

What about exercise? Yes. It’s necessary to be active, but you’ll be surprised how little your body requires. Merely 20 minutes per day walking your dog is all you need to boost your metabolism! I personally do calisthenics or ride my bike for 40 minutes per day without fail.

Movement(a.k.a.,"exercise") boosts your metabolism via cortisol production. Cortisol is a hormone your body makes to burn fat. This is known as lipolysis. Sugar interferes with lipolysis! So if you want to burn fat - avoid refined carbohydrates!

The hardest part of this regimen is the first 3 days. That’s because it takes 3 days to ween the body from sugar addiction(hunger pains). You will experience withdrawals, feel weird and horrible - I know I did. You must trust me. After 3 days it will be all downhill from then on.

Did you know that we burn about 500 calories every night in our sleep? That’s 1 pound per week! So we were fasting all this time without ever realizing it! That’s why your 1st meal of the day is called,”Break-Fast”.

Keep in mind: I’m not saying that you can’t have your cake and eat it too as long as it’s done in moderation. So Cheers. Enjoy buying a new wardrobe for the healthier you. Live long & prosper!

Why the golden ratio Phi is immortal and alive!

We all are aware that circles are perfectly proportioned and so are squares. But did you know there is such a thing as the "Perfect Rectangle"? This "Golden Rectangle" possesses a golden ratio known as,"Phi". Phi can be represented in many mathematical ways - .618(Lowercase phi), .381(inverse phi), or 1.618(Uppercase PHI) . They all refer to Phi...the golden ratio. A ratio is simply a relationship between 2 things.

• 1 divided by Phi is PHI. That's 1 / .618 = 1.618 
• phi squared is still phi. That's .618 x .618 = .381. It's still phi the golden ratio...just represented differently. 
• What makes Phi so unique? It's the only number that you can divide into 1 and still remain itself. It's also the only number that you can multiply into itself and still remain phi. 
• Geometrically: If you take a golden rectangle(1 width x 1.618 length) and you divide it lengthwise...you will end up with another "mini" golden rectangle. No matter how many times you divide the golden rectangle...you'll only end up with a whole bunch of replicas. The tiniest fragment is an exact copy of the whole. No other proportion/ratio/number can do this! Phi is unique! 
• Mathematically Only the Golden Rectangle fulfills these 2 statements> (i) A = B+C (ii) B/A = C/B. So the tiniest golden rectangles are an exact copy of the whole. 
• Since Phi can divide and replicate like a living cell...isn't Phi "alive"? 
• In Nature - Perhaps you've heard of the Fibonacci sequence 1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55 and so on. Well if you ever counted the spirals & counter-spirals on a strawberry, pine cone or sunflower...you'll notice a pattern. For instance: on a sunflower you'll notice 34 spirals going clockwise & 55 spirals going counter-clockwise. The spiral ratio 34/55=.618. The spiral ratio 55/34 = 1.618 . This is Phi: The Golden Ratio manifests itself in nature! 
• Galaxies and Plants spiral and grow outwardly applying the Golden Ratio: Plants branch outwardly at either 137.5 degrees or 222.5 degrees. Notice that 137.5 degrees & 222.5 degrees relative to a full circle(360 degrees) is the golden ratio Phi! That's 137.5/360=.381. That's 222.5/360=.618. The spiral & counter-spiraling branches relative to each other is Phi. That's 137.5/222.5=.618 or 222.5/137.5=1.618. The reason why plants use a "Phi" angle is because this angle allows the most efficiency in photosynthesis. 
• Phi is a "spiritual connection" or "the force". The Phi ratio - is a relationship in-between inanimate objects which give them "life". 
• Phi is also known as "Tau"...meaning "to cut".

What came before Baptism?

I'm an Agnostic - I rely on "self-knowledge" versus "faith". Buyer beware!  Don't let Faith blind you.

Jesus was "anointed" & later "baptized" by John the Baptist in the Jordan River to rinse away the "anointment"  after it had done its work.

Gnostic Christians say that the word Christ means "the anointed one" and was "christened" with "chrism", a cannabis-based oil  that healed the sick and caused spiritual visions. Today, Gnostics prefer to smoke cannabis flowers instead of applying it as skin lotion.

Recorded in "Exodus":  This ancient "anointment" recipe included over 9 pounds of cannabis flowers extracted into 11 pints of olive oil, with a variety of other herbs and spices. This skin lotion was used in anointing that allowed the priests and prophets to see and speak with Yahweh.

According to Astrology:
The resurrection refers to Christ being God's "SUN". During the winter, the "SUN" appears to hover closer & closer to the southerly horizon until it reaches its lowest point on December 22nd.

The "SUN" stops moving southerly for 3 days (Dec 22nd, 23rd and 24th).  But on the 25th:  The "SUN" suddenly begins moving northward one degree higher away from the southern horizon. Thus showing the origins of the 3 day resurrection pattern.  Christ's 12 disciples simply represent the 12 zodiac signs, which Jesus, the god of the "SUN", travels about with.

The age of Pisces is the year of Christ's birth & the end of the age of Aries/Moses. When the disciples ask Jesus where the final Passover will be. He replies: ” Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house where he entereth in.” - Luke 22:10.   This represents the age of Aquarius.

I believe in a God who doesn't make mistakes - thereby God loves all of us UN-conditionally.

Pay it forward story

It feels much better to give than to receive...I can attest to that remark.  Here's my story: a few days ago I found a $600 iPAD2 left in a WINCO grocery cart.  I didn't return it to WINCO because I don't like leaving certain outcomes to "chance".  So I took the iPAD tablet home and did a little detective work.  I managed to find the owner's personal information.  The next day we met at Jack in the Box and I returned her iPAD2 back.  She was so grateful that this grandmother of 2:  blessed me with a $60 reward!  Yea me! 
Conclusion:  Karma is reality...so please be kind to others and if someone has been kind to you...be sure to Pay It Forward.  Peace y'all...

Solving the vagrancy problem>>>City Council might consider issuing a Downtown Vagrancy Act 2013 & distribute NO VAGRANCY signs wherever you want to attract more paying customers. The fine would be 1 week at a "labor camp". Every fancy-town needs a shanty-town, am I right? At these "labor camps/shanty-towns": vagrants are paid "a day's work for a day's pay" in a localized currency("Hemp Coin) redeemable for 1 hempcrete block's worth of goods&services. The currency should be issued as redeemable tokens called,"HEMP COIN(HPC)".  Vagrants shall farm & manufacture hempcrete and many other industrial hemp-related products at a Hemp Farm. Govt. shall provide all necessary land&equipment.  Food & Shelter will be provided free for the 1st week. After the fine has been served...vagrants can voluntarily remain to get paid to farm hemp;stay and pay for food&shelter at this "labor camp/shanty-town". I honestly believe this hempcrete coin based economy can put vagrants back to work & so that they can re-contribute positively to society!
