Duly noted! This IS a great list, thank you, Strange.
A big part of the "scientific" reason that I chose to go with Garlic as the primary food was because of its high sulfur content. I believe that sulphur and sulphuric compounds, of which there are over 100 varieties naturally found in the various species of garlic, plays an important in our mental, spiritual, and physical transformation.
What does sulphur do, in a word?
Have you heard of the Sword of Goujian?
Crafted 2500 years ago (using technology nobody can explain or replicate hmmm..), and it is still fresh as the day it was made.
Sulfur (not to mention garlic) is everywhere in mythological and religious texts as well.
The smell of sulphur is believed to signal the presence of a demonic entity.. probably an old school psyops that stuck. I highly doubt it is demonic in any way. Bitter though. Definitely bitter..
Sulphur is also one of the key elements of Alchemy, relating to the ..spirit? was it mind? Not really fresh on my alchemy knowledge, forgive me, but remember, alchemy is the art of TRANSFORMATION.
In any case, sulphur is important stuff.
With regards to most other supplements:
They say that Americans have the most expensive, vitamin and mineral rich piss in the history of man, and it's probably more true than you realize.
With all the pills and powders and potions they shill us at the Walgreens these days, you would think that it was a miracle that humanity made it this far without their daily Vitamin C enema.
Vitamin C is magic by the way. Eat more. But get it from a fruit, not a pill. What you get from a pill is ascorbic acid, which is nice, but isn't vitamin C. Ascorbic acid didn't cure sailors of scurvy. Getting off topic.
Sulphur, by nature of its properties, helps the vitamins and minerals we already have plenty of (usually) get put to use by our cells. Something about passing through membranes..? Not really a science guy, we have (((bing))) for that.
So yes, the pineal gland is a big part of this, but I am trying to approach that specific goal using as holistic and simple of an approach as I can.
That being said, I have since added some coconut oil into my diet (good call) and I am looking into topical hemp oil products as well, particularly shampoo. Any suggestions?
Thank you again for your input.
This is my basic game plan: I am eating one large clove in a spoonful of raw organic honey twice a day. With the first clove (in the morning) I drink a sip of that nasty apple cider vinegar.. actually that is kind of a theme here, isnt it? Except perhaps the kimchi and the coconut oil, everything here is Bitter as FUCK.
I eat the kimchi with mugworth for light snacks (usually a single serving for the day) and drink hot green tea with coconut oil through out the day.
So, Day 2.
Garlic still taste like burning ass. However, I have to chew the clove thoroughly or there is kind of no point to this. (cooked garlic is even more useless, just fyi).
Recently I had been getting alot of signs.. or at least what I interpreted as signs. Lights are bright as hell. Weirdly bright. Lots of weird light things, actually. This sensitivity to light have exponentially intensified since yesterday.
With regards to meditation first I promise I am not exaggerating; you remember rare candy, from pokemon? Thats pretty much how it feels. It feels like cheating.. haha
I can drop into my deeper unconsciousness, within minutes. Even further, is effortless as well.
I don't attribute this new spiritual agility purely to the diet. The fasting has much to do with it as well, as my best previous experiences with meditation have all been during a period of fasting.
Fasting: Jesus did it, you can too.
Then again, this is a new level. The voices in my head are much easier to separate, and I am rarely, if ever, confused as to "is it just me talking to myself?" or rather, "is it just my conscious self talking to my conscious self?"
The difference is clear. Clarity is nice.
How do I feel physically?
I feel.. clean. Not tired, not super cloudy.. again I was fairly adjusted to fasting before I started so keep that in mind. I feel alert.
Not super hungry, especially for a few hours after some garlic. My mouth and stomach just kind of give me the finger and says NO MORE, IM DONE.
I drink lots of water, but not like Niagra falls, just enough to keep my comfortably hydrated.
I intend to spend most of my day meditating or studying for the duration of this fast, to give you an idea of my energy use.
ok, thats all for today.
