Living with my parents

Hi,

I’m in my 30s, living with my wife, our kid, my parents, and my younger siblings (22 and 15) all under one roof. We’ve got the upstairs, they’ve got the downstairs, but we share the same entrance.

Honestly, I still haven’t figured out how to make enough money to get our own place. The only real option would be a mortgage, but me and my wife just don’t have the cash for it. And it’s not even just about the money, it’s also about my social skills. I worry about fitting into a work team and just holding down a job without constantly stressing about whether I’ll have enough for the next payment.

On top of that, It feels like I'm doomed to have a bad relationship with my parents and siblings - because trust me, at this age, living under the same roof is NOT what I want. And yeah, I know accepting it doesn’t really change anything. Even Eckhart Tolle once said he couldn’t live with his parents, lol 😄

Dead tooth

Hi,

I would like to know what a practitioner of Chinese medicine would recommend for a dead tooth (lower molar number 6) - It is still alive, but sometimes it has an unpleasant electric pain..

Root canal treatment, remove it and leave nothing, remove it and use an ceramic implant, or remove it and use a bridge? Or something else?

Thank you :-)

Hi,

I have a hypothesis and I would like to know your opinion.

Hypothesis: The ability to focus consciousness depends on how developed our brain is (the better the hemispheres work together, the bigger the brain capacity, the higher the IQ, and the more energy reaches the brain from the lower centers).

If this is true, then a person is partly determined in how much they can be present in life, how much they can change old habits, be a better person, and do more good. And I wonder if a person can really be self-aware if they do not have enough brain capacity.

How is it with people who have dementia, Alzheimer, and similar conditions? In those cases, the brain is literally damaged, and maybe those people are not even fully aware of themselves anymore. That would seem to support my hypothesis.

Hi guys,

I have something to think about about hemisphere synchronization. I have a hypothesis that maybe the level of our consciousness is connected to how well our brain hemispheres work together. It feels to me like there could be a correlation, but I do not know about causality.

Maybe that is why Robert Monroe focused so much on hemispheres. Maybe also the more conscious a person is, the easier it is for them to stay awake during meditation and reach vibrational states and similar experiences.

So maybe hemi-sync -> helps a person be more conscious -> OBE

Hi,

I will get straight to the point. If someone was often put down as a child and because of that developed low self-esteem, so later in life they do not trust themselves or value themselves, where is this belief actually stored?

Is it only a part of memory? Would it be enough to rewrite it, for example through mantras or meditation with visualization of how we would like to feel instead?

And what if this person got amnesia and lost their memory? Would their self-esteem still stay low, or would it reset to some kind of default state?
