(Mindova) Why spiritually awakened people look younger than their age: Carl Jung
Here "awakened" should not be conflated with Buddhist "enlightenment" (bodhi) since every spiritual tradition will have its own definition of what it is calling the peak realization, moksha, liberation. And even if they use the same words for it (like "nirvana"), it is not the same. For example, Hinduism and Buddhism are VERY different in all the subtle details, but in the West think they're just about identical with some name changes. There would be no need for Buddhism if it were saying what Hindus want to believe and hear. Another example is Jainism. Jains are much closer to Buddhists than Hindus, but they are still worlds apart. Both are wandering ascetic traditions, but Mahavira's insights and explanations did not hold up to the Buddha's scrutiny. Mahavira understood much, attained much, but did not become an arahant (enlightened one in the Buddhist sense of the word). That should show anyone that details matter, differences matter. We can all agree and hold hands and talk about our commonalities on our spiritual quest, but for goodness sakes we have to talk about the contrasts and differences to really benefit one another.
Shocking: Bull attacks sexy woman in red at outdoor concert

The people of Spain are white?
That explains the Casta system.
I remember being shocked. It seems silly now, but then it made sense. When I arrived in Spain, I found that the people were white. They were Caucasian, not mixed, not even the slightest bit tan or all black haired and brown eyed. They were as European as all the rest of the Continent.
Passing through Basque Country and the future nation of Catalonia (Catalan) on a slow train along the Mediterranean ("Middle of the Earth," "Center of the World") coast, where were all the cacti, siestas, ponchos, and sombreros I had been taught to believe were what the Spanish brought to Mexico as gifts during their conquest, invasion, occupation, and migration?
Europe: un-united states (countries) of the EU
That was all wiped away. These people were amazingly vibrant, markedly different than the northerners. I was living in England at the time, often passing through France, and I was not used to California-style vibrancy and fitness. It was suddenly and shockingly apparent like why Londoners winter in the sun-soaked Iberian Peninsula.
No one believed me back home or had never thought about it one way or the other.
Do Eastern Europeans count? Not so some.
"Why wouldn't they be white?"
"They're Spanish (Espanoles); they speak Spanish (Latin-light)!" I argued in vain.
"Yeah, but Spain is Europe."
"Is it?" Oh yeah, I guess it is, as much as the Germans and Scandinavians might not think so; they barely accept Greece and Macedonia as part of the Continental Club, and that's only for the glorious cultural contributions of the ancients.
Otzi the Iceman was dark Turk (slowyarn.com)
If even Turkey and Anatolia can be "Europe," when they were formerly in "Asia Minor," then why wouldn't Spain be? The crowd at the concert above is what I saw, proof that the Conquistadors were not swarthy sailors living and taking wives in the Caribbean then traveling farther west to the Yucatan Peninsula and Mesoamerica to take over all that we now call "Latin America" and a goodly chunk of what the U.S. now claims as its own.
The more southern we travel, the more mixing
We get called Hispanic, white Latin, when we're brown and mixed with Indigenous blood, living here in the salad bowl/melting pot of The Angels (Los Angeles), where it gets confusing, growing up next to Kevin, throwing rocks at our neighbor Robbie Joiner. So this video of Spaniards in Spain out for their two favorite sports, classical music and running around with bulls.
This being the case, who would guess that one of the greatest Buddhist communities in the world is forming in Spain?
Indeed, the cave dwellers will come to know the power of samadhi and glory of insight in time. The foundation is being set and it is already being done. What a world, what a world, what a world...to spin so long in samsara only to come around again. Be nice on the way up; you'll be seeing those beings again on the way down.
Many health communities view white (stripped of everything but its starch) rice as an unhealthy option.
It’s highly processed and stripped of its hull (protective coating), bran (outer layer fiber), and germ (nutrient-rich core). Brown rice has only had its hull removed.
For this reason, brown rice has many vitamins and minerals absent from white rice.
There are some instances where white rice is a better option than brown, as for the sick who cannot digest food. Pranam, Yogini Shlloka, Isha Hatha Yoga teacher (facebook.com/shlloka, instagram.com/shlloka), student of sad Guru Sadhguru. #eatingrice #ayurveda #yogiclife
VEGAN FASHION WEEK: Fashion show to benefit Ukrainian Fashion Designers

California Market Center 155 East Olympic Bl., LA, CA 90079
VEGAN FASHION WEEK is a benefit show (for Ukraine). Vegan Fashion Week® joins forces with Ukrainian Fashion Week to share a strong message for the planet [for those who want to hate Russia, Russians, or President Putin].
Sustainable vegan farming is the way of the future being innovated today in the U.S.
.
Latina Power! For my Brown sisters!
While fashion week is about the cruelty-free clothes on the runway, it’s also a creative medium of expression, an insight into the environmental, socio-economic, and political situation of the world.
This year’s event comes with a strong message inviting all people to reflect on the importance of compassion as a pillar of world peace, to highlight the connections between humans, biodiversity, and the pressing need to stop our negative impact on the planet and its animal and fellow-human inhabitants.
Vegan muscle: Killing workouts not animals
This important fashion collaboration aims to introduce the best of Ukrainian sustainable fashion through a fully vegan fashion show, a marketplace, and authentic conversations surrounding ethics and sustainability in fashion hosted by the newly renovated California Market Center in downtown LA.
This historical event will showcase an entirely cruelty-free experience from the fashion we wear, the beauty we put on our skin, and the FOOD we eat. It encapsulates a world where ethics and trends intersect as a celebration of human evolution.
Ticket purchases and additional donations will benefit the VFW Mentorship Fund, which provides continued support for emerging fashion designers to increase exposure and business opportunities in the US market. This season’s benefits will support Ukrainian Fashion Designers.

The Secret: The Law of VIBRATION | Bob Proctor | Law of Attraction Coaching
(Law of Attraction Coaching) 👈 Click the link to sign up for a 30-Day Law of Attraction Coaching Course. Bob Proctor explains the less well-known Law of Vibration and how it is directly tied to the widely misunderstood Law of Attraction.
The farm isn't going well. I just want to be rich, Bob. How do I do it?
Whatever vibration we are in is what we are attracting into our lives. Want different results in life? Then we have to change our vibration. How do we do that? Let the Proctor give a brief overview. Somone loved this video so much that s/he had to share it.
Attraction and vibration are real and "laws" (natural orders or impersonal mechanisms) in life. We can learn and use these laws to our advantage or deny they exist and float through life with little to no control.
What do we really want? Do we know? Have we let all the big dreams we had as kids slip away? Why? What if there is a way to still achieve those dreams in life? Sounds too good to be true, right? "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is." Is this saying always true? It is most of the time, but not all. This IS real. After being introduced to Bob Proctor’s works, one can no longer go through life and say we never had a chance at something better.
I can say this because I took the chance even though I had failed so many times at so many different courses and businesses. There is no “probably” with Proctor. He is the best I have ever seen or been around. He is real and cares about us. Watch this video a few times and really take in what he is sharing.
Please note that this is Bob Proctor's video and I claim no right to it whatsoever. I am merely sharing it for other's enjoyment and benefit.
Colorized
photos are breathtaking. Prior to 1970s, color photography was rare. And most of history before
that is remembered in black and white, which has made that world seem
distant. Beginning in the 1960s, Kodak’s Kodachrome and other
film brands began to establish a presence in the market, but they were
still much more expensive than standard B/W film. By the 1970s, prices decreased enough to make color photography accessible for
everyone. Finally, by the 1980s, B/W film was no longer the dominant medium
for daily snapshots. Color became the norm.
However, new technology and artistic skill has brought color to that gloomy world of the past.

(Tip Wiki Guide) There are true cures common doctors have no interest in revealing. Why should they? Treatments (not cures) are much more profitable. Real cures exist. Dr. Wallach explains the key to health, which is getting the 90 essential nutrients we need from our diet and, when necessary, supplements. For more cures visit tipwikiguide.com.
Epigenetics and gene activation for improved health and longevity (josephmaroon.com)
.
Click to enlarge infographic on epigenetics.
Epigenetics: (the part of our genetic code that is "above genetics" or above the specific instructions). Biology is NOT destiny, even though the slogan rhymes. Epi-genetics refers to the environmental triggers that set off gene expression. We are not victims of our genetic inheritance (codes) but our environment, particularly our diet and deficiencies. Things in the environment, prebirth and postbirth, set in motion or keep from setting in motion what is written in our collection of instructions.
These authors advance a theory of mineral deficiencies, rather than genetics, as cause of diseases.
Calling upon the research and theories of Dr. Joel Wallach, Epigenetics contends that many diseases currently considered genetic in nature -- such as Huntington’s disease, cystic fibrosis, and so on -- are actually a result of dietary mineral deficiencies.
The book, co-written by doctors Wallach, Ma Lan, and Gerhard Schrauzer, also discusses [discredited medical theories that were once the the medical establishment standard], and references several anecdotes from Dr. Wallach’s career.
Epigenetics [looks at] history for several chapters without making any clear connection to its thesis [which is that the medical field changes as theories come and go].
When the thesis does appear, it feels like a change in topic. Despite this, the volume is an entertaining read until some of Dr. Wallach’s minor run-ins with the mainstream medical community are characterized as “witch hunts.”
At this point, the text begins to counter-attack the medical establishment. The remainder of the book reviles negative responses to the theories presented and discusses encounters with several professional establishments and colleagues.
The tone is often embattled, offended, and personal. Dr. Wallach has long promoted the concept [and gathered evidence for the fact] that mineral deficiencies are the primary cause of disease... More
