What do I need for an underpainting?

New to oil painting. I was going to use acrylic and some kind of solvent but idk what to use. I’ve seen people use gamsol but I heard it’s kinda toxic and I live with other people so I don’t want to cause any headache. I’m guessing there’s a reason why people don’t use water right?

Where does Lancaster County Dutch Market get their meat from?

Never been. Does anyone know? They say fresh meat but idk what that means. I don’t want to give up eating meat so I’m trying to find places that kill animals more ethically or get their meat from places that are ethical.

Having trouble convincing myself that the person I see in my head is actually me and not the person I’m experiencing in the 3d

I see the person I want to be very clearly in my head (what they look like, goals, and success). However that person is quite different from the 3d me. I know what I’m doing is daydreaming which is not how you get results but every time I try to consciously think about that person being me and going about my daily life as that person, it feels so weird and my mind just won’t cooperate. I try to tell myself that circumstances don’t matter and be positive about it but it’s just not working out. It’s hard to escape the 3d when I have to look at myself in the mirror to get ready in the morning and the appearance of the 3d me is different from the visualized me.

When I do SATS, I’ve thought about myself in 3rd and 1st person perspectives but both feel awkward. Any help to make this feel less difficult or make my mind cooperate? Is this something that just takes repetition? Idk how I’m supposed to stay in a state like this all day long without every small thing in the 3d reminding me of the differences.

I know the 3D has its own rules but isn’t a god above that? Also I’m aware that for certain circumstances, time matters. For example, someone applying to their dream university needs to wait for their decision letter from the school (this could be a limiting belief). However for things that have no time limit, why can’t they just happen when we want them too? Even with some doubt. I know we don’t want every passing thought to manifest and some could have limiting beliefs, but ppl in this sub have put a strong emphasis on time delays and “bridge of incidents”.

Speaking of bridge of time incidents, I read a story a couple weeks ago here how a girl was manifesting spending more time with her partner but couldn’t (can’t remember why). Then she did some techniques to manifest. Soon after, she got hit by a car and was bed ridden basically forcing her partner to come and see her. This lead me to my next question: can we say we DON’T want certain bridge of incidents to happen? I know she got what she wanted and was happy but no offense to her, I don’t want to get harmed or have others suffer/die just for my desire.
