True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become.The smith doesn’t care how hard he is hitting the steel until its form is reached.When Logic dies wisdom is born.God demands you to leave the oases and then send you through the desert to reach a much better oasis.When the mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.Watch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offense which they have so fiercely censured.What the soul sees and has experienced, that it knows; the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.I swore that I would not suffer from the world's grief and the world's stupidity and cruelty and injustice and I made my heart as hard in endurance as the nether millstone and my mind as a polished surface of steel. I no longer suffered, but enjoyment had passed away from me.Pain is the hammer of the Gods to break a dead resistance in the mortal's heart.If thou desirest Truth, then still thy mind.All can be done if the god-touch is there.Courage and love are the only indispensable virtues; even if all the others are eclipsed or fall asleep, these two will save the soul alive.Remain faithful to the Light of your soul even when it is hidden by clouds. In our defeated hearts God's strength survives.My Video: Quotes Aurobindo https://youtu.be/mIyLOdAZLZgMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast2/Quotes-Aurobindo.mp3

What is Macrobiotics?

Macrobiotics is a diet concept promoted to the world by Japanese George Ohsawa as a way of eating a variety of Whole Foods that are energetically balanced between yin and yang.After esoteric law or Taoism, everything has two poles which are YIN (woman) or YANG (man). The hot weather is considered "yang", and nature offers us "yin" foods such as watermelon to help us freshen up and stay hydrated. The cold weather is considered "yin" and we are offered "yang" root vegetables to help us feel hot and rooted. Yin foods grow upwards and outwards, like green leaves, which grow in an upward direction, and fruits that grow on taller plants like trees. Yin also represents the foods that make us feel elevated, so it also includes cereals. When consumed in balance, you will feel awakened, alert and light in your body. In excess, you’ll experience a high followed by a crash.Yang foods grow inward and downward, like root vegetables which grow in the soil and become oriented towards the ends (i.e. Carrots, daikon, etc.). Animal products are yang because they are concentrations of the nutritional intake of the animal. When you eat products with more yang properties, you feel hot and relaxed. In excess, you will easily feel sluggish.By eating a meal with foods that take both yin and yang, we can balance our food with climate, weather, and our own temperament/emotions... What does a typical macro-biotic meal contain?The most important ingredients of macrobiotics are brown rice, miso soup, and seasonal vegetables.Whole grains with the peal. - Brown rice is to Macrobiotic the Holy Grail. Because brown rice is the most energetically balanced food in macrobiotics.And then we add to moderately balanced foods such as leafy greens, round vegetables (like pumpkin, cabbage and onion that are literally round in shape), root vegetables, beans, miso soup, fermented vegetables, ... The best way to think of a macrobiotic meal is to think of a Whole Foods Japanese teishoku — the meals consist of a little bit of everything for balance in energetics, flavor, nutrition, season, and appearance.The macrobiotic diet is not necessarily a vegetarian diet, although, most people who practice macrobiotics choose to eat vegetarian style because animal products are considered to be taxing to the digestive system since they take a longer time to digest. The less stress you place on your digestive system, the more your body can restore digestive health.Advocates of macrobiotics who consume animal products tend to stick to fish and seafood in small quantities. At the end of the day, the point is to eat in a way that is energizing and balanced, so consuming “yin” vegetables to balance out the “yang” animal protein is the goal.In addition, we add Tempeh as an alternative to meat/fish. Tempeh is a fermented bean block (like soya bean, Azuki bean, chickpeas) that gives some variety to our meal, it is good for our digestion, because of the probiotics that our bowels need. And we add Natto, specially fermented soybeans that are crucial for healthy bones, cheese-like flavor, and a Umebushi (fermented Japanese plum) for healthy digestion each day.

How to time your biological clock perfectly to get awesome results?

From Stanford University, Andrew HuberWe all have a biological clock in us that regulates our organs, cortisol level, mind, and emotions...If the organs or cortisol levels are not well timed, we are getting sick and our mind/body cannot function properly.We do need a healthy cortisol level to do our work or task... If the cortisol level starts to increase at a wrong or late time, we can’t be efficient and we get insomnia.If we watch animals or even our own natural urge, for getting up out of the bed, we want to do it with the sunrise. What to do?Go up in the morning after sunrise, (3 hours after sunrise is still OK) go to the restroom, drink some water to get hydrated, and go outside. Regardless of how bad is the weather, no excuse (exception, dangerous storms)!There exists no bad weather, only wrong cloth!The balcony is OK when it faces the East.We have 2 options.The best option is, to do it for 30 minutes your body exercises, strong workouts would be perfect, cycle with your bike, jog or just do a morning walk. Even it works perfectly if the sun is on your back many times.The second option. You look towards the sun for 10 minutes, squinting is OK. If the sunlight is too strong, then don’t look directly into the sun.Don’t use sunglasses, normal glasses are OK.The horizon should be unobstructed so that you can see the entire horizon. If it is cloudy, still look toward the sun and increase the time for looking into the sun up to 30 minutes. I have tried that out, it works for me only when there is full sunshine, but it doesn’t feel good for my eyes. I live in South Thailand, the sun is too strong and mostly it is cloudy in the morning. Why? Because you get so a healthy peak of cortisol that will stimulate you for the entire day. And the best is to get it after you got up within 30 minutes! You get so much power out of it... You need 7 to 8 hours of sleep, time it with the sunrise. This means 3 hours after sunrise is still OK. When You come back you switch on all Lights. In the morning is blueish light the best and in the night is blueish light the worst. The best is the full spectrum light... more expensive.You have to do it every day. Don’t miss more than one day! After one month your biological clock is set up on an optimal level.What to do afterward?Don’t drink any caffeine for the next 90 to 120 minutes... And coffee is the worst! Choose instead green or black tea.Do body exercises every day!Everybody should do Cardio exercises like interval training, endurance, weight lifting, every week 120 to150 minutes... I bought a treadmill and I do interval training.Don’t do social media, or phone calls in the morning. Learn to control yourself not to distract...This is called a “no-go” task, like meditation, you sit and don’t do anything... How long can you resist not to urge to do some task...?You do a workout for 90 minutes where you focus only on one task, after sunrise...I do my Qigong, body exercises, and meditation, ... Or if I have some great ideas, then I will be creative and afterward, I do my Qigong...
