I realized that fish is a better alternative for my diet. It feels lighter. With all the healthy oils that I consumed, I feel very contented with my meal.
Now with Nescafe and creamer I feel very satiated with the food that I eat. Hopefully I can avoid sugar and starch with this kind of diet. Nothing beats the feeling right now. Well, maybe having a hot coffee in Starbucks will top it off. However I will be paying through my nose for a little bit of ambiance.
The idea right now is to minimize as much as possible. At the same time I should maximize utility. This kind of life I am having is the pinnacle of my existence. As long as I am dependent on money for my utility, I will still be dependent on an intermediary to attain happiness. We cannot forgo money entirely unless we live on deserted island but we don't have to make it as the primary reason for our existence.
The other possibility is for us to simplify our life to the barest minimum. While we do that, we should not compromise on the fundamentals. I had experimented with this idea for over a month now. I am convinced that [we all] (all we) need to be healthy and happy is just diet and exercise. Almost everybody knew this but how many actually translate it into action?
Among the major improvement I did was I simplified my mind. As you can see I am capable of going into a pretty complex thought process. However I CHOSE to make things simple. I can for example go with the idea that God and No God is possible. Fuzzy thinking is my area of expertise. However I am forgoing the idea because I want to simplify things; not because the idea is not viable.
I am building my own presuppositions based on simplification. That means I have to offload many extra burdens to make my thought light. I am not saying that is the right thing for me to do. All it is is to make my life simpler. Hence when I say no to religion, God and the afterlife, I am going with the basic model. Very much like everything in my life, I just go with the barest minimum. Good enough is good enough.
Having to accept the three ideas is not going to create much impact in my life. I am a Minimalist Existentialist. Therefore I am operating at the barest minimum. Having to acknowledge religion means I have to delve in the arguments and the counterarguments that are flogging the internet right now. Sufficient that I know that all religions are man made and there is no truth in any of them.
Consequently believing in God is really comforting but that does not get me any closer to my goals. It seems to create many minds rather than the unification of my thoughts towards a definiteness of purpose. Finally my belief in the afterlife will not be beneficial to me now. I am not going to spend my time collecting points so that I am well compensated in the hereafter.
If God and the afterlife exist then it will be a plus point for me because I had expounded my consciousness all the way to the very end. That is however a very distant future. It will not help me much for the next 22 years to attain health and happiness.
All I am saying is by claiming there is no God and no afterlife, I am putting those 2 issues at a constant. Thus by doing that I can free my mind to explore simplicity in greater detail.
I might change my mind in the future. However at present I don't think both are necessary for me to attain bliss. Why should I collude my thoughts with things that have little impact on my life a[s] (and) waste unnecessary energy to figure out something that might or might not exist?
I might as well spend my energy on things that matters. Otherwise I am back to where I was 20 years ago; the same bottle of wine with a different label.
With the coming of this new S Curve I should be mindful to have a discontinuation from where the previous S Curve ends. Not many people have a second chance to evaluate their entire lives. I should grab this opportunity as it comes.
Remember I mentioned? That the question may be complex but the answer is ridiculously simple? This is the case with this situation. Unlike a fly which continuously bangs on the glass window to get out, I looked for an alternative (an open door in the case of the fly) and get out from there. That open door is to suspend the notion that there is a God and an afterlife. Put it as a constant and move North from there.
Even my Cybernetic Loop had improved much. I am now listening to the Uplifting Vocal Trance to maximize productivity. See how far I had evolved? From TraXX to Absolute Classic Rock to 247 Continuous to Vocal Trance.
I am taking the same attitude in simplifying my life. Nothing is carved in stone. I am pretty much at home with Zen Mind as I am very comfortable to be in solitude. Whatever that works. In the end there are many paths but my Path is exclusively mine.
