coffee and sugar

[Guest guest]

there is a definite link that exists between prana and nervous

electricity; one might even say that bioelectricity is itself the

physiological manifestation of that energy. stimulants artificially

heighten nervous energy, but indirectly this would also increase the

flow of prana through the organism. it seems there is a very fine

line between artificial enhancement and dependence.

 

that especially applies to energy drinks. in typical consumerist

fashion, kids figure, one can is good, so seven must be better. the

adults OTOH isolate key component drugs in various plants and

foodstuffs, and extract... if coffee is good, caffeine syrup must be

better, if salvia divinorum is good, 10x dose of divinorum-A must be

better...

 

in my opinion EVERYONE wants out of the gutter of normal

consciousness, we just haven't all consciously come to terms with that

desire yet.

You are so right Elektra about both the caffiene and the healthy food and the

water. I like you didn't like the taste of water. I hated it! I still don't like

it out of the tap! I don't like the taste of it, it tastes really nasty. The

only way that I will drink water is by bottle and the only flavor I like is

Dasani. I buy at least two or three cases a week! All I have to say is thank

goodness for bottled water or I would never drink it!

 

Love,

Katherine

Also, coke is drunk by so many teenagers and adults.

 

We are so unaware of the things we drink and eat and

the long term affects.

how many people I know that never drink water, it's

amazing.

As a child I hated water. Diet coke was my drink. Full

of crap.

 

Since changing to mainly water and healthy food my

energy reserves are replenished, but it took me a

while to undoe the disaster of my childhood cravings.

 

Much love Elektra x x x
