Are You On A High Protein Diet?

As a former Personal Trainer, I always encouraged my clients,
that a balance of Carbohydrates, Protein, and Fats are the key to eating healthy. We like to assume that going on a diet is going to jump start our weight goals. However, when you go on a diet, you automatically eat in deprivation. You cannot sustain that for very long, and then that's where people go on a binge.

Our collective mindset is focused on a high protein diet at the moment. I have debated for years, going on a high protein diet can cause you to dehydrate, as you lose muscle mass and bone density. Your body gets it's energy source from carbs, if your body doesn't get its energy, it will take energy from the protein in your muscles. You do not want that scenario because muscles need protein. If you lose muscle mass, you degraded your ability to burn calories at a higher rate. It is defeating the purpose. Carbs get a bad reputation because people eat too much, and there is a difference between Simple vs. Complex Carbs. Here is a list of Complex carbs... https://medlineplus.gov/ency/imagepages/19529.htm

I was watching Down to Earth with Zac Efron on Netflix last night. He was on the Island of Sardinia and it's considered a Blue Zone. A Blue Zone is where a large population live to a hundred and beyond. 

Zac Efron sat down with two scientists dedicated to the study of long life. They said, if you want to live a long life, low protein is the way to live. They also said, you are at a higher risk of cancer, when we eat a high protein diet. They recommend, 10 grams of sugar a day is ok, but 100 grams is not, and keep physically and mentally active throughout life.

Did You See The Stud Get His Balls Chopped Off In The Third Season Of Ozark?

I love Ozark, and in the third season Marty and Wendy, buy a Horse Farm for their drug lord, Omar Navarro. Mr. Navarro is in a war with one Stallion's owner. Mr. Navarro's retaliation-he is going to cut off the balls of his rival's stud. The horse can on longer make any money for his enemy.  

In real life, the fate of a racehorse's balls is determined by their temperament. Some colts are just too aggressive to keep their testicles, and the best decision is to cut them. Another decision is their bloodline is just not valuable to reproduce. Whatever the decision to cut them, they are now called geldings. 

Usually, the procedure is preformed with the horse standing under general anesthesia. When the Vet snips the balls, you definitely hear a crunch! The balls are then tossed on top of the barn for good luck. I have personally witnessed a couple of cuts in my life. 

Just thought you would like to know!

Did You Know There Is A Force More Powerful Than Free Will?

"I used to believe that people determined their own lives. We were in control, commanding our futures, choosing our spouses, picking professions, responsible for the decisions that shape the course of our lives. Yet there is one force more powerful than free will... our unconscious."- Netflix's Gypsy

The purpose of psychoanalysis is to dive into the unconscious. A good therapist, will help the patient make their unconscious, conscious. However, as a society we are so consumed with taking a drug, rather than uncovering our unconscious. 

Just like the line from the Netflix series Gypsy, there is one force more powerful than free will...

It doesn't matter if we take a pill or not, our unconscious is always there directing our lives, whether we like it or not.

"Consequently, the crystal clear message appears to be that fate, destiny, decisions, and human behavior cannot be understood without taking the unconscious psychological process into account."-Rabbi Berg- To The Power of One.

"No individual can ever achieve a completed phase of Tshuvah (A Return), where the individual comes into total control of his fate and destiny, unless he becomes knowledgeable of the unconscious root psychological processes of the soul, along with the knowledge of former lifetimes."-Rabbi Luria-The Gates of Reincarnation.  

"Until we make the unconscious, conscious it will direct our lives and we will call it fate."-Carl Jung

Do you have the courage to go down the rabbit hole and into your unconscious?

Did You Read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown?

In Dan Brown's book The Lost Symbol he says; "God is very real-a mental energy that pervades everything. And we, as human beings, have been created in that image. Our physical bodies have evolved over the ages, but it was our minds that were created in the image of God. We've been reading the Bible too literally. We learn that God created us, but it's not our physical bodies that resemble God, it's our minds.”

If we stop and think about the above, it is saying something very profound, Dan Brown is challenging our belief system. Our bodies have evolved over millions of years, our soul which is the deeper part of our minds is the spark of the divine within.

"The inner light, the mind, never conflicts with the brain, and is not the brain. The mind and the brain are to be observed as the inner and outer, the metaphysical and physical aspects of the brain. "-Rabbi Berg

"Most people think of our mind as our brain, but in reality scientists cannot locate the mind in any time or space. Therefore, the mind is intangible, just like the energy of God."-Serena Jade

Physicist Henry Margenau said ‘’the mind is non -material and is completely free and independent from the brain yet fully capable of influencing it without ever having to provide any of the energy required in the interaction between the two."

Are you intrigued by our minds are made in the image of God?

Or are you repulsed by the idea that our minds are made in the image of God?

Is your belief system being challenged?

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TWO WORLDS OF JENNIE LOGAN?

The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan was a made for TV movie in 1979. I was 13 years-old and this movie had such a deep impact on me. I just recently viewed this film on youtube.

For the past 33 years, I have been trying to get my hands on a copy. So, when I finally watched this movie again, I was astonished.I had only remembered the ending and did not realize the depth of the story.

Lindsey Wagner (Bionic woman) plays a woman who caught her husband cheating, so they decide to start over. They buy an old house which I believe is supposed to be in upper Westchester,New York. The woman finds an old wedding dress and as she puts it on, immediately she is transported to another era.

She finds herself in the late 1800's, and is in love with a man who she is going to marry. The woman goes back and forth between the two time periods.

The woman asks her lover in the 1800's... Do you believe in immortality? 

The woman asks her therapist in the 20th century... What is reality? Is it possible to break the barriers of time and space? What do we know about the universe? What do we know about time or infinity?

When I saw this uploaded version of the movie last week, I was amazed because I did not consciously remember the dialogue.

 "I feel I was destined to communicate the immortality of the soul; to achieve oneness with the Divine, thru the interaction of mystical loves."-Serena Jade

Do you believe in immortality?

My story Charismatic Connection is about Chris and I who woke up from our deep sleep and experienced eternal love. However, we were not quite ready for that exalted bond. Charismatic Connection is available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com.

Do you think it is possible to break the barriers of space and time?

Let The Essence Of My Story Be A Mirror To Your Story- Charismatic Connection: A Mystical Love Story, Embedded In The Sport of Horse Racing...

Three Soul Mates had a past life love of horses and fox hunting in Yorkshire, England, and Reincarnated in the south shore of Long Island, New York for their love of horses and racing ...

Horse racing arrived in North America from England in the year 1665. The south shore of Long Island, New York is the home of New Market racecourse. Two centuries later Jerome Park comes into being through the efforts of two visionaries, stock market investor Leonard Jerome and August Belmont Sr. Mr. Belmont is a politician, financial wizard, and racehorse owner/breeder.

The Belmont Stakes was named after Mr. Belmont and was inaugurated at Jerome Park in 1867, in which year it was won by Ruthless. In 1889 the race was moved to Morris Park, a racetrack in the Bronx. August Belmont Jr., a Harvard graduate and suave businessman, wants to build the largest racetrack in the United States. Belmont Park in Elmont, just outside of New York City, came into being in 1905 to honor Mr. Belmont’s father, August Belmont Sr.

England started its own acclaimed races in 1809, the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, the Epsom Derby, and the St. Leger Stakes. The American races matched those of England’s. The term “Triple Crown” did not enter people’s minds until the early 1930s.

The Belmont Stakes is the oldest of the Triple Crown races. Called “The Test of Champions.” -Charismatic Connection

Horse Racing: Most people do not know about this beautiful sport. The horse has become obsolete in our modern culture. But, for all of our existence, except for the last 100 years or so, we relied on the horse for our transportation. Horse racing is ancient and goes back to the lost city of Atlantis.  

Plato talks about Atlantis in his work Critias. The awesome philosopher describes the utopian society as having “…many temples for different gods, and many gardens and areas for exercise, some for men and some for horses. On the middle of the larger island in particular there was a special course for horse racing."

Think about this- we are going about our day in our car, but the car next to us, wants to see if they can beat us. I'll race you - is what is being said! It happens everyday on the road. 

Well, that is how horse racing got started, my horse can beat your 

horse. But in our modern world we say, my car can beat your car. 

Today, most people think that the sport is cruel to horses and should be abolished. Most people who say this never even touched a horse, let alone a racehorse! 

My father was a big fan of Horse Racing and in his day, Horse Racing was the number 1 sport in North America. My father died years ago, and I miss the horse racing bond I had with him. This is how much he was a fan: he placed three bets at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York, 30 minutes before he died!

Did You Read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

I was reading How to think like Leonardo Da Vinci, at the time, The Da Vinci Code was released. I received a phone call one day from a friend, telling me I should read The Da Vinci Code. I started to read the book and my mouth dropped... because the author Dan Brown is in tune with me!

If you read between the lines, Dan Brown is saying the quest to find the Holy Grail is not out there but inside of you. He talks about getting in touch with the masculine and feminine qualities within the self. 

Dan Brown writes, when male and female were balanced, there was harmony in the world. When Male and Female were unbalanced, there was chaos. The Da Vinci Code’s message opens our mind to the sacred feminine. The feminine side of our mind is our intuitive mind, and when we bring the masculine and Feminine together within ourselves there will be harmony.

"We live in a patriarchal society meaning the masculine side of our mind is in the forefront. That means both men and women, are identified with their masculine rational logical minds."-Serena Jade

Will you get in touch with your intuitive mind?

 Are you ready to balance your mind?
