2021-07-2213 minThe Light DietQFR #10: Learning About SurrenderIn this quantum field report I share some experiences that I have been having recently that are leading me to the conclusion that there is much greater intelligence than ourselves out there and that it's possible that one of the best things that we can do is to "surrender" in a sense; not to cower down from our lives and feel powerless, but actually to embrace everything that we have and to do the absolute best that we can with what's on our plate every day; surrendering in this sense to the infinite intelligence and power that's all around...

This course is some thing that anyone can use to completely transform their health using light. I have explained everything simply enough that anyone can do this, no matter how much or how little they know about biology; and so that at the same time, someone who knows a lot about health can learn some thing they might not already know, or have a simple foundation of a protocol for optimizing circadian rhythms and mitochondrial health. Until Friday...

In this quantum field report I recount my thoughts on Tulum Mexico after the Joe Dispenza weeklong meditation retreat. It's a very interesting town with a very interesting energy, which I'm personally not most drawn to. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful place with kind people that a lot of tourists and travelers really love, and often stay. For the type of chill vibes and experience that I prefer, I still recommend Costa Rica to people as my preferred tropical place to go to support yourself and the local people! Also, I recount a very...

It is the fact that the light we live under powers our body, and if we live in doors under man-made/artificial light sources, it is literally like trying to power a refrigerator with a phone charger, in the sense that the energy provided by the one is completely and thoroughly insufficient to provide the energy required by the other.

In this quantum field report, I begin by discussing how people who find that they cannot sit in a car by themselves quietly for hours (like a meditation), or constantly need to listen to music, or need any other sort of external source of pleasure to feel good, may find that their mind is filled with thoughts and beliefs that they cannot stand to just be with.

After struggling with health issues as a young kid, I've spent nearly half my life seeking to understand how our bodies work in order to achieve optimal health.

This research opens the doors to an entirely new and deeper understanding of previously misunderstood Ancient Eastern wisdom about health, energy, and wellness.
