How many sexes are there? (Matt Walsh)

Drag queen? Transgender? Conchita's an ambassador | Paris Lees | The Guardian

Dr. M. Grossman is ANTI-trans

"Truth matters." Is it social contagion that so many millennials and others are suddenly all about going gay, switching sexes, or playing dress up and demanding new pronouns?

A beautiful transgender man, a long time EMT in New Mexico, stands up to [jerk] Matt Walsh with all his logic, rationality, and lawyer-like debate style and, sadly, goes down in flames -- in a civil discourse in front of [conservative] college students on campus.

Matt Walsh debates transgender EMT who ends up speechless

(Young America's Foundation) Views: 1,199,496, posted April 7, 2023: The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh got into a debate with a transgendered woman who was a self-proclaimed EMT who immediately gets stumped by one simple biological scenario. "Intersex is a genetic anomaly," according to Walshe not a "third sex" as we are being led to believe, particularly by the new documentary Every Body:

INTERSEX: non-binary, non-hermaphrodite, abnormal, atypical congenital (from birth) medical condition, leading to gender assignment by biased doctors at birth (in 1 in a 1,000 births?) Ancient Indian texts (Brahminical, Vedic, Buddhist, Jain) would label such individuals pandakas.

Sex: Why do men cheat? (video)

Shmuley Boteach (Big Think); Emily Hart; Ashley Wells, Crystal Quintero, Wisdom Quarterly

Shmuley Boteach, an American Orthodox rabbi, is author of Kosher Lust: Love is Not the Answer.

Let me tell you why.

Why Men Cheat is explained by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. How would a rabbi know? He counsels a lot of couples and a lot of distressed men. Boteach argues that men have affairs not so much for the sex itself -- it goes much deeper. It's because their low self-esteem requires constant affirmation. The sex in the equation doesn't hurt, but it also doesn't explain the behavior. They would resort to prostitutes if it did. It would certainly be a lot easier, if much more skanky and dangerous and disgusting to your partner. Do what you want to, but how will you ignore karma?

When is sex "sexual misconduct"?

NOTE: Wisdom Quarterly affirms sex work as an occupation if it does not exploit, demean, or otherwise bring about harm to the parties involved. That's a tall order because harm is almost certainly, though not necessarily, going to be involved. It is not a great choice, but it is a choice. For often sexist US society does not provide viable options to females who find that they desperately need money. Adults may make their own choices, legal or not, whereas all children involved in sex work are being trafficked in modern slavery. But a prostitute with a married man is still herself a cheater, along with the man, by Buddhism's definition of "sexual misconduct" or kamesu micchacara. So is it really worth it.

Proof that thoughts create our reality

Amber Larson, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; Pam Grout (E-Squared); Lisa Garr (KPFK.org/TheAwareShow.com)

Look inside E-Squared (amazon.com)

Hay House author Pam Grout has a new book, E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality. 

Grout talked about these nine simple experiments on the Aware Show and Coast to Coast with guest host Dave Shrader. Anyone can do these tests to prove for themselves that reality really is malleable, consciousness trumps matter, and we shape our lives with our minds. Each testable experiment can be done with little time and even less money, but what they demonstrate is enormous: Spiritual principles are as dependable as gravity.

Pam Grout goes beyond theory to 100% proof.

One experiment involves planting two seeds side by side and sending mental energy to one -- either in the form of intense thinking, prayer, emotions, or visualizations -- to see what visible effects this has. The two seedlings are physically treated in an identical manner. One is left to grow naturally. But what effect will our thoughts have on the other?

 

Pam Grout is the author of 16 books, including the best-seller E-Squared, three plays, a television series, and two iPhone apps. She writes for People, Cnngo.com, Huffington Post, and her travel blog, georgeclooneyslepthere.com. Discover more about her and her out-of-the-box take on life at pamgrout.com.

(Pure Pollino, Jan. 7, 2014) E-squared author Pam Grout talks about the DIY experiments that prove our thoughts create our reality. This book is an essential guide to achieve a deeper sense of purpose and connection to the universe. Pure Pollino Tues./Thurs., 11:00 am/PST on UBNRadio.com. Grout starts at Minute 17:30.

 

Goodwin

(Inspire Me Today Radio/Gail Lynne Goodwin) Grout is a world traveler, a loving mother, a best-selling author, a millionaire, and an inspiring witness to everyone she meets. Actually, only four of these are true so far, but that line is an affirmation she started using 20 years ago before she ever had a child, before she became a travel writer, or an author and, for that matter, before she even liked herself all that much. Evidently affirmations work, because now she can proudly say that all but one are true. Guess which one is yet to manifest.

 

Shaping Reality?

(C2C) Writer Pam Grout devised simple experiments to demonstrate that reality can be changed. She has previous personal success using intention to improve life, and now there is experimental proof to establish the concept. One basic experiment involves the principle that "there is an invisible energy force that has your back, basically." She advises readers to give this "force" a 48-hour ultimatum to provide evidence of itself. Then "keep your mind open" awaiting a sign. Grout notes that the experiment allows the experimenter to begin opening his or her mind to seeing the possibility behind the principles that shape our reality.

Seeing is believing: divest old conditioning!

Face reality? Create reality. (It's already happening!) So start consciously creating reality. E-Squared could best be described as a lab manual with simple experiments to PROVE once and for all that reality is flexible, adjusting to our thoughts. Consciousness matters more than matter. We are creating our lives with our mind, attention, and ideas. 

Neuro Summit II

Rather than taking this maxim on faith, Grout invites us to conduct nine 48-hour experiments to prove there really is a positive, loving force in the universe. Yes, we can prove it objectively.

 

The experiments, each free and finished in 48 hours, demonstrate that spiritual principles are tangible and as consistent as Newton’s laws of motion. For years, we’ve been hoping and praying that spiritual principles are true. Now, we can know. E-Squared proves the following:

1. There is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities.
2. We impact the field and draw from it according to our beliefs and expectations. 
3. We, too, are a field of energy. 
4. Whatever we focus on expands.  
5. Our connection to the field provides accurate and unlimited guidance.
6. Our thoughts and consciousness impact matter. 
7. Our thoughts and consciousness provide the scaffolding for our physical body.
8. We are connected to everything and everyone else in the universe.
9. The universe is limitless, abundant, and strangely accommodating.

Plasticity: Power of Affirmations, Aphrodisiacs

Dearbhla Kelly (durgayoga, layoga.com); Seven, Wisdom Quarterly

“What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life tomorrow: our life is the creation of our mind.” - THE BUDDHA

  

Think affirmations are New-Agey and trite? I mean, really, as if, “I am the very source of abundance and love itself” taped on the mirror were going to pay that credit card bill in the drawer? 

I’m going to suggest that we rethink and try on the possibility that affirmations may be at the cutting edge of neuroscience and its sexy sister, PNI, or psycho-neuro-immunology.

And while an affirmation in and of itself may not be enough to pay bills, practicing affirmations can reshape our brains and thus cause us to incorporate behavioral changes, which can help us do everything from having more successful relationships to better managing our finances.

“Plasticity” refers to the brain’s ability to reconfigure itself, to establish and to dissolve connections between its different parts. Consider the phrase, “Neurons that fire together wire together” [video]. What exactly does it mean? More

Aphrodisiacs: Encouraging Love and Vigor
Arun Deva (layoga.com, Feb. 2014, p. 26)

Depression help (chin mudra)

We are all fascinated with aphrodisiacs -- the substances or activities that help build our strength and staying power in the bedroom as well as our overall vitality.

In Ayurveda, the study and use of these is significant. The Sanskrit term for aphrodisiacs is vajikarana, which means "that which imparts the strength of a horse."

Aphrodisiacs are applicable whatever one’s personal situation. Reproductive fluid, called shukra, circulates throughout the body and is responsible for courage, activity, love, delight, and vigor, according to the ancient Indian medical texts, the Sushruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita. More
