I was reminded of this old post when a friend asked me how to open a coconut.
Hope it is helpful to some.

Dear Derek,
TMJ was one of my very first severe stress symptoms when I was a freshman in college, some....17 years ago. I had SO MANY unaddressed thought and reactive patterns - wow.
Tension in the face and jaw (just like shoulders) is a common stress reaction. Once I was able to learn to truly meditate and eliminate/transcend/transmute the reactive patterns that I was caught in, it was

Dear Bryan,
If you want to remove me from the game board, please go ahead. I would be just fine with any such action, but I would like a crystal clear explanation for why.
Please cite the exact verbage on this post that is worthy of that or.....whatever "criteria" you think you are using.
Thank you.

Oh, how we all like to narrow the conversation focus to whatever we think we know is right, despite the fact that none of us really know anything, including me.
Utopian Life - it is quite likely that you and your immediate 60 generations of ancestors would not exist were it not for the relationship that we have with cows. At an evolutionary bottleneck (or several), digesting the milk of a c

Dear Utopian Life,
You may have a point, but it does not diminish the "relationship" that we have had with our bovine sisters and brothers for eons. We give them relatively safe living conditions (and life), while we take some of their precious milk and sometimes meat. Yes, we can, in the fullness of our conscious awareness, say "NO" to this,....but perhaps you are living

Dear aurora55,
If you are gaining weight on a healthy, balanced raw diet, it means one of two things.
1) You need to gain weight. Your body may have been in a deficit on some ways and in order to stabilize it is gaining weight, either short term, or for good. To assume that some extra weight is bad, is but an assumption. People gain and lose weight at different times of their lives for m

There are unquestionably certain races/ethnicities that evolved with cows and evolved the capcity to digest milk (hence lactase that is active life-long in certain genetic strains of humans). Here's one article I found with a quick search:
This is similar to our capacity to eat meat, which we are clearly designed to BE ABLE TO DO (not HaVE TO).

Prem Yari,
Calm.
Stare at a tree and know stillness. Your mind (and thus, your body) is out of control.
Settle.
Accept whatever is within, whether it is a so-called "parasite", a painful memory, or a vicious thought. None of it is you, at least not entirely,....at least not at the deepest place, which you seem not to know.
Just watch it all and be. You are the life

I saw the recent post about opening a coconut and wanted to share my method. Starting a new post seemed most efficient.
This is how to open a coconut without losing a drop of the precious water and without using/swinging a sharp knife
Required items:
- Hand strength
- Plastic knife (or lots of hand strength, strong nails and patience)

A perspective (or few):
If you've ever cleaned out or changed a hot water heater (the tank style), you see all the metallic gunk and rust-like buildup inside there. Hot water is definitely "dirtier" in that way and can especially be so if you are at the end of the tank. I consider this if I am cooking with, drinking, or showering.
Another perspective.....cold water is somewhat l

I totally see your point and it is certainly true. That is why I say that anyone is welcome to call me (I have unlimited minutes on Verizon) or visit me (N. Topsail, N.C.) and I will do everything and anything to help them.
