the circular loop of r|zen

missionizing   -   conflict   -   missionizing the same content again

according to  marshall mcluhan  ,   people there and perhaps most easily seen with the notorious  “ ewk ”  the posters do not understand the limitations of the printing medium, that something in print is in itself rigid and inflexible and not of itself engaged in the process of modification and approximation that becoming truer requires   .   .

so you get a rather retarded ménage of circular stupidity as per the start of the post   .   .   .

interestingly the same thing happens with meditation, the brain running on its own circular track

to break out of this you need read around a lot to get disparate views and be able to weigh for coherency

and similarly you also need meditative or reflective time to reorganise yourself into a better understanding

what seems to universally happen is this is very rare and people either meditate in their own mind circle or read trash and revolve in the missionizing circle

the cross into reading quality AND some form of contemplative and meditative work appears to be too much for this rather stupid species !

you don’t have too much between the ears !

why it is that people like you without too much between the ears think they have something between the ears i don’t know

“ i happen to be the only authentically transmitted heir of the 6th patriarch ”

at least the only one you know of

the transmission implies no other, otherwise he wouldn’t have bothered, but historically none of his claimed direct heirs were enlightened

mazu never claimed to be his heir

so, no one-to-many transmissions then ?

 show the robe !  !

there was no robe and bowl, that’s just legend !

the real robe and bowl are my writings and what i say

people seem unable to understand that translations are translators opinions and that historical documents suffer from errors in transcription and copying !

in addition there’s the loss of cultural context to the words which removes a lot of the multilayered richness of what was said

what you say as the  “ masters ”  is just taking a translator’s opinion as gospel so speak, that’s even assuming  “ the masters ”  knew what they were on about and a lot of them don’t, its simply people modelling christian priests with their scripture !

r|zen is founded on using zen texts this way because its posters have absolutely no real life experience of zen with its emphasis on meditation !

your query on the use of the phrase  “ the way ”  is actually philological and needs that sort of research, not bumming around in translators opinions !

the material universe is just one type of reality, there are other deeper ones !

memory can give access to some of these !

the material universe is just one type of reality, there are other deeper ones !

i have seen  “ the way ”  used like its a philosophical methodology rather than a state and that actually makes sense !

a vision differs from an hallucination with its synchronization with infinity !

everything else is secondary to that identity or synchronization !

mind to mind transmission is the foundation of zen and its lineage

its not my fault that i happen to be the only authentically transmitted heir of the 6th patriarch !

“ the way ”  is just another meaningless  “ meta ”  like zen, daoism, philosophy, christ, god, buddha, buddhism, muhammad  (take that ISIS !) ,  islam, tennis, tennis coaches

the list goes on !

how come r|zen gets  “ yin and yang bracelets ”  ?

brad warner,  you  glorify  huike for cutting off his arm to show bodhidharma he really wanted to understand what zen was about which actually is a toxic stupid analogy so i guess your disapproval of this autistic spectrum woman with tourettes is par for the course !

“ a few months ago, a woman showed up for morning zazen at our center in los angeles who had her own ideas about meditation

to her, meditation was about sound and movement

so, as the rest of us sat quietly, she was rocking to and fro, waving her arms around, and making funny noises

we very nicely told her that that sort of thing didn’t work in our group

she left in a huff, never to return ”

what is also inconsistent is you recommending mainstream zen retreats when you know very well they loathe you !

retreats are tremendously imprinting, a couple of retreats can imprint you with bullshit it will take you the rest of your life to untangle !

sepehr  writes

i recently had a dream where i was walking with a friend, we went to this park, and i looked up at the beautiful canopy, golden light coming down on it.

i became aware of dreaming and remarked how all so real it was.  My friend was shocked, but then I pointed up and flew to the sky, and a darkness encased me.  I asked  “ What is Buddha ?  Who am I ? ”

and then another dream overtook me  .  .  .   after the darkness fell off

and i came to understand this fact

life is just a dream within a dream  .  .  .   endless dreams within dreams

lithium  used in large amounts is a medical drug with very toxic side effects, used in very much smaller amounts that match approximately what is got in the diet and water it still has therapeutic benefits, the point of supplements and lower doses is to avoid side effects

°       °       °       °       °       °       °       °       °

taking levels of lithium that match what is in the diet is very different from the use of a drug, medical or illegal !

this is what i meant by  “ parsing ”  the different ways lithium is used, medical doses can conceivably be compared to drug use like pot or cocaine, but modulating dietary levels and natural pathways is not !

being the 7th zen patriarch simply establishes me in an authentic lineage unlike just about all zen today

the designation is going to be meaningless unless you have had authentic dai kensho’s, the vast ignorant mass simply think i am wrong   .    .

some-one was complaining about the  “ cutting ”  in  this  brad warner video

my  comment

his background is the film industry so i think he’s going to do it in a  “ filmlike ”  way

i must admit you mentioning it made me look at the cuts and as you say there is an element of deception in the way he does it

but look at  pewdiepie    .   .

that’s very cut and since he makes the money, i would say it defines what is acceptable !

do you believe everything pewdie pie says and share it on a forum that is in search of the truth of all things ?

i was just thinking you are too black and white which is what brad warner was saying, your idealisation of  “ zen master ”  is just to be sucked into the hagiographies !

what do you do in this search ?

nothing, your mentality is that of a consumer, it needs to be laid on for you in perfection !

i think you need a lot of observation on what psychosis is to make sense of how i use the term !

words and semantics weave infinitely, you want the interesting patterns !

we think we exist, but we are just a type of dream !

i had dai kensho at about age 7, from the perspective of dia kensho the world shows its true colours as insane, everything is the effect of a more ultimate cause and that cause can be seen

so you’re the sane man in the mad house !

zen and mysticism is really about this seeing and recognition of infinity and that takes a long long time to clarify   .   .

then you write the words others quote and are not some regurgitating puling rumi, alan watts or blue cliff record or mumonkan sychophant !

why do you use the word  “ insane ”  to describe the world’s true colors ?

because  “ normality ”  is truely psychotic !

that’s a life observation that gets more certain as you get older !

the psychoses of the different genders is obvious to the other, but not at all clear to themselves

we think we exist for a start, but we are just a type of dream !

“ do you think i could be good at law enforcement ? ”

a lot of it is good people skills

“ if you want to comment  here  you really need to be in agreement with what i am OPing and saying, ie you accept that i know what i am on about to a large extent, i don’t claim perfection but this is a life’s work for me and i need to have got it right !  ”

what is meant is that it needs to be right because that’s what i have spent my entire lifetime sorting it out

people like yourself never get past the 30 seconds of thought they have put into the matter as being adequate !

i don’t fear having it wrong, its just shifting the perspective to yours that if i have it wrong then i would be psychotic !

the inconsistency is on your part, you clearly think i am psychotic, so why do you follow what i write with such interest ! ?

ewk who is psychotic has no interest for me except the compression of such a huge span of mild co-morbid conditions, its just again he follows me around replying to my comments !

r|zenners vote with your feet, if you really think i am crazy which actually you don’t, but if you really believed that then ignore me, i assure you i ignore you morons to the extent possible, its you who seek me out, not me you !

say something of your own with some insight !

you can’t, you just regurgitate the crap of others !

“ then he should read a zen book ”

there’s something about this poem/story, i don’t know why ?

a.e. housman had a  talented  sister and brother

the more i understand r|zen, the weirder it looks, something like the majora’s mask variant of the zelda legend series

the majority of its posters are mentally ill and after a while of posting there, you become mentally ill too

you can’t just up and leave and similarly writing involvement has a preparatory period of reading

if you read, then you will end up posting  .  .  !

you actually have to prepare to leave and it can take several days and you have to want to leave in the first place

so i have gone through this cycle of entering and leaving quite a few times and have come to see the full complexity of the process !

if i am now leaving permanently then its because the deconstruction process involved, the restatement of the nonsense posted in a dogen-like rectification is not the best way to go

eihei dogen reforms voynich

i think eihei dogen is unnecessarily complex and obscure because of the problem he faced having to re-image buddhism and what passed for zen into something truer

that is, from practiced voynich, he had to write in its vocabulary what would be far more simply represented as per  the tsurezuregusa

the irony is today, that translation has consigned eihei again to voynich and attracts every halfwit from the north to the south pole singing misguided translations as some sort of  “ answer ”  !

so a lot of the back and forth of what he writes is a deconstruction of some buddhist or zen term followed by a reconstruction that is truer or true !

with a break-up women seem to take another lover pretty quickly or even before and their psychology is such that her intimacy with that lover puts a huge distance between you and her

just be aware of that distance and everything will flow smoothly, or as smoothly as can be expected  !  :  o )

basically when the relationship is over you are reverting to a normal distanced social relationship and the usual standards of propriety apply   .   .    !

my vision with the 6th patriarch is the classic zen dai kensho

visions are different from hallucinations, you are toxic so you twist !

if  you  have any real life zen experience you would know its all about dai kensho and mind to mind transmission, since i had it with the sixth patriarch and he had no successors, that makes me the real life 7th zen patriarch !

if he had any successors i wouldn’t be !

however i can’t prove it to you except you might infer something happened from my writing which is the writing of a zen patriarch !

the thing about dai kensho, even though something similar  (non zen)  happened to me as a child, is you will not believe it until it happens, so being rubbished by wrong minded idiots like yourself is to be expected, until it happened i would not have believed it !

see the nature of the experience is so different from the bullshit around, even the total psychotics can’t make it up, their versions are always stupid clones of something !

theksepyro  replies  :   brad warner and dogen were full of it also as far as i'm concerned.

my reply  :  

this  “ you ”  has a hubricity born of cognitive style failures !

i have been very very wrong about a lot of things in my life, but being the 7th zen patriarch is not one of them !

you are wrong about  brad warner  and eihei dogen, they are very mixed bags however and it takes discernment to penetrate

you unfortunately lack discernment !

the cognitive style problem you have dogs you at every word, your notion of me trying  ‘ to sell ’  you something is mistaken, or rather you are twisting things again, very ewk that, can’t say a single thing to him without him making some new twist out of it that skids erroneously off topic !

lisa cairns posted very recently that she was in love, then deleted it because she didn’t want to upset her male supporters

that’s basically what you are dealing with

the post was taken down pretty quick, another female reader would have warned her, women stick together !

it was luck i saw it

its a very depressed thing to pay for a retreat when your  “ spiritual understanding ”  is way better than hers !

also retreats are very  “ imprinting ”  so you pick up a lot of garbage that will never be washed out again !

you have a lot of immediate stuff to focus on, health, kicking pot, car, don’t be distracted !

i want to see the car start cold since  oldskoolfunk  says that’s when you’ll see if a car has problems

that subaru i saw made some very funky noises when starting

oldskoolfunk also said don’t look at a car if it’s wet as it’ll hide imperfections, guess what they did to that toyota i saw the other day !

started it up before i got there  (even though i asked him not to)  and wet the car

thing is the good ones are in other states   .  .   i was listening to syntheticones advice on going farther for a standout car and i suppose i still am just none of these are exactly standout

my father was almost completely fooled by these used car lot salesmen last weekend, they are big liars

i don't think everyone is setting their odometers back but they could've bought a car with a rolled back odometer without knowing

wow, the toyota  tercel  seller as good as told you he was a crook !

starting a car tells you as much as a mechanics inspection because the oil is still not really flowing around the engine when you start so you can hear everything !

noises and driving handling tell a lot about a vehicle !

a basic rule is that sellers will never go below 2/3 of what they are asking, chrisfix went in at 1/2 on that jaguar and ended up with 2/3 but the seller almost didn’t sell !

if you get a quarter or a fifth off you are doing well, so it the advertising price has to be pretty close to what its worth, otherwise walk away !

i think being an automatic is a fairly strong negative for a used car !

p5p b6 is actually the best form of b6, the only problem is that it is to some extent destroyed by stomach acid so what you actually absorb seems to vary a lot depending on how much makes it through the stomach

koan does not mean puzzle

as if your saying so makes it so ?

look up the definition !

koan simply means puzzle over something you don’t understand and has a deeper meaning that will open up

the majority of so called koans in zen can be puzzled over because they are nonsense and so one can puzzle forever without making sense !

i think zen’s facility with this voynich is from the import of taoism !

zen is mangled indo-grecian philosophy, cut to suit buddhism and the taoist art of bullshit all combined and leaves millions of retards puzzling about nothing in its wake over the centuries

or

zen is mangled indo-grecian philosophy, cut to suit buddhism and the taoist art of bullshit all combined and over the centuries in its wake leaves millions of retards puzzling about nothing your lack of real life zen experience and just going from books that suit what you like to believe shows !

°       °       °       °       °       °       °       °       °

no wonder you are so protective of ewk, you have the same psychosis of thinking book reading is adequate and don’t see any disability in having no real life experience  !

the definition is much more broad as goggle shows

“ a paradoxical anecdote or riddle without a solution, used in zen buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning and provoke enlightenment ”

in fact its moved even beyond zen as the word has moved into the public domain and to most people doesn’t relate so much much to zen as a religion at all !

the common understanding of koan is simply some sort sort of paradoxical puzzle !

philosophy is not short of these puzzles of course and that’s zen all over, mangling philosophical tropes in the pretense there is some deeper understanding to zen !

you also don't seem to understand that words have more than one definition and the common use is also what defines it, the definition you give while not incorrect is verging on archaic !

you, like ewk are just in some projective fantasy, whereas i have put the work in !

i can tell ewk and others that its psychotic to think you have an understanding of something without any real life involvement, i can say it, but it doesn't sink in because that’s the nature of psychosis !

i wrote it to you just now, but similarly you won’t get it !

zen is a pseudo-philosophic religion for life failures

how many of you have a religious background ?

i never thought of myself as having a religious background with my father a not quite atheist and my mother a nominal christian  (both however the product of church boarding schools) ,  but i spent almost my entire school life in anglican  (episcopalian in the usa)  church boarding schools and i think it gives an insanity you can never shake !

what miyamoto musashi  is saying  is the  “ meta ”  should come from the skill, whereas in zen, most people try to derive the skill from the meta like you do and it doesn’t work !

miyamoto musashi is the role model for the hero of spaghetti westerns, amazing, but true !

he’s absolutely unique amongst sword fighters for his insight, writing and art and his life is well worth researching and somewhat disillusioning  !

maybe ewk is right about dogen being the original faker, pulling in the suckers with his indo-grecian philosphical tropes welded to buddhism !

zen only makes sense if you are celibate !

the promiscuity of western zen is one reason its so crazy-degenerate !

can you explain why ?

what about those crazy zen monks who hung around brothels all day ?

what crazy zen monks ?

all the great masters were celibates and certainly did not hang around brothels all day, the one exception is ikkyu but in fact he was celibate up until about thirty and actually while good is not quite up in the joshu area !

what zen is about is extraordinarily difficult and takes a lifetime’s complete focus, obviously sex and family doesn’t permit that sort of  attention !

western zen is not real zen at all, but a political construct from the japanese meiji era when monks were forced to marry so they were no threat to the ultranationalist state emerging then and was to give so much trouble later !

the subtle reading of layman pang is his wife and children committed suicide   .   .   a cautionary warning, rather like job, don't mess with what will always be beyond you unless you are prepared to pay the price !

a heap can always be  less one particle  of what it is by virtue of it being a heap, but you cannot have an iterative process reducing the heap and always maintain that what is left is always a heap !

what is the contradiction in that ?

there is nothing to say the result of an iterative process is necessarily continuous !

that is, there are discontinuities in the world and why should iterative processes be excepted ?

so basically the notion of iterative process breaks down and you have that an iterative process is not an iterative process !

there is a relatively recent sophisticated mathematical proof done by abraham robinson on  the validity  of infinitesimals, that is, that is infinitesimals work and are valid mathematically, i suspect its the same sort of thing !

“  Using these methods, he found  a way  of using formal logic to show that there are self-consistent nonstandard models of the real number system that include infinite and infinitesimal numbers ”

°       °       °       °       °       °       °       °       °

i think a heap is a type of self supporting structure contingent on its particulate nature

there’s structural emergent properties of a heap not addressed by the iterative particulate process !

heaps have a clear definition !

its the emergent properties from particulars combined that create the semantic snarl

the points system decoys the  15%  of redditors who are toxically stupid

these people think they have done something with a downvote and having done this then go away, otherwise they feel an unmet need to punish and pursue other avenues to flagellate more vigorously

i have noticed my best OP’s and comments are usually downvoted, but not always, they can be upvoted or ignored

reddit never made any sense to me until they published some stats, say  .1%  of redditors post  10%  of the content, you know these vociferous idiots arguing and disagreeing in an obsessively and traumatic way with anything of sense seem to be dominant, but its domination by the sheer volume of posting or focus

so the vote system decoys these people somewhat since the next step they would take is campaigning for removal by the admins etc or more posting to try to  “ swamp by content ”  or  hassle  !

the other interesting thing is people find high reading age or confronting ideas offensive, even though well worked out but are simply against conventional social norms

i think they try to punish this as well because the implication is, their value houses are built wrong !

so three cheers for downvotes !

so i have been commenting and now the  2nd OP  i have done got deleted, i had forgotten how aggressive in the pursuit of stupidity the mods are,   this OP  must have made them twitch so the 2nd Op was doomed, its just a returning circle and also in comments the game playing retards get way upset over anything with a reading age above seven or eight   .   .

to bite the bullet is that simply stopping posting is not enough, i have to stop reading

the trouble is reading leads to posting comments, posting comments leads to making OP’s and the moderation aggressively downsizes the reading age with young men whose entire experience of zen seems to be some concoction grafted out of their gaming experience   .   .   acting aggressively  to suppress what upsets them    .   .

yes i am going to bite the bullet   .   .   !

i think basically if you are going to read you are going to OP at some point and this is the kicker, the mods, if they have perfected one thing, its the skill of subtle rather than overt banning of viewpoints that upset them, just OP deletions, that sort of thing, and to be fair they do it well !

yeah the rush thing is a common tactic for salesman

i learned my lesson when i was about ten years old and playing a MMO called runescape, i had a  ‘ shield ’  that was valuable and another player approached me with a trade offer for another  ‘ shield ’  that i knew nothing about but looked cool, he said  “ hurry up i have to go, trade now or else you’ll miss it ”  so i made a quick decision and traded with him

i traded then he logged out, well to put it simply the shield was worthless compared to the one i traded him

the trick with philosophy is you can study one philosopher for a lifetime and most of them are difficult to read, schopenhauer is an exception

so reading or viewing summaries by other people is a shortcut

how does the real zen differ from kierkegaard and hiedegger ?

basically they are trying to make sense or derive rationality from a quite articulated semantic - pragmatic position without really much success

the mystical zen viewpoint abandons that semantic - pragmatic position for much more fused yet evasive co-ordinates and to the average person will not make sense at all

so this is why there is so much fraudulent stupidity on r|zen, idiots chasing semantic coherence with faux incoherence

both kierkegaard and hiedegger suffer from the same problem, the voynichating of the  “ you ”  viewpoint

ruth  (ed.  greenstein   I  II )   says she still does a show in las vegas once a year and she said if i'm ever in las vegas while she's doing the show to not go

and she's writing comedy still for other people, 93 years old !

she told me this story that she was once in the catskills planning to do a show and was staying at a hotel where another famous movie actor was staying, both she and the movie actor were sitting on a park bench in front of the hotel and they were talking and people were asking for his autograph

they were jumping out of their cars to get his autograph and she was saying how wonderful that is, he was a big time actor and he asked " may i have your autograph ? " and she said " i don't have any paper ! " so he picked up a leaf off the ground and had her sign it, and he signed one too for her, she said she wouldn't forget that feeling, i was talking to her for more than an hour while i was working and eventually she was showing me photos of herself and family and she had multiple prints for printing so she asked me if i wanted an autograph and i said " yes ! "

i had three deliveries in the car as i was talking to her so i got pretty nervous when i pulled out my phone and saw three missed calls from the restaurant  .  .  she showed me a spider that's been outside her door for weeks and told me to say bye to it and she said to the spider " say bye alphonse ! "

the restaurant ended up not being upset and the customers weren't too upset either but i shouldn't do that again

fakes giving transmission to fakes, interminably long training periods  ( 27 years in jody kimmel’s case)  wherein the trainee comes out more stupid than they went in   .   .

as for the lineage, maezumi an alcoholic predator of young women and a lineage of imperial japanese war criminals before that   .   .   .   .

no wonder zen went belly up   .   .

what i have found with zen, is coming from within it, you can’t understand it because it is too voynichated

if you come from outside it through literature and mysticism you can understand it !

so any stuff that clearly is blinkered to only viewing zen is psychotic, what’s there to understand about that  ?

where dogen shines is he was visionary, not many of those in zen !

the visions inform his best work, a lot of the other stuff, i agree with ewk, he was making a religion and never quite connected the spontaneity and essential uncausedness of his visions with all the nonsense about practice and zazen !

i played soccer last thursday, it seems like people at least subtly know that heading the ball is concussive

whenever the offensive team has a corner, no-one wants to defend our goal which usually involves heading the ball away

they’re less avoidant on an offensive corner but still there’s reluctance to head the ball

my neighbour’s car won’t start, its a 1999 ford fiesta  (same as the mazada 121)  and i have always thought it was a good vehicle, never seemed to give trouble and started first kick

i charged the battery and its working well, holding voltage when cranking

the next step was to clean the plugs and they were an absolute revelation of the cylinder conditions, black oily  (compression?)  and one of plugs had heavy grey deposits indicating a number of cylinder or valve wear options

in addition one of the front cv joints needs replacing

appearances can be deceptive, its reached a wear stage where its very questionable to spend any money on it

the problem may be a fuel problem, not sure if i want to put any more time into it !

what i really learnt is to look at the spark plugs if you are buying a used car, they tell a story as effective as any testing !

she misinterpreted something i said as offering $500 for it and turned it down and i thought, well i’d offer you more than $500 for it if i wanted to buy it, but now having seen those plugs i realize its not a vehicle its sane to buy !

so i’m looking at some blueberries and there’s a bit of a jam with the shopping carts and people where i’m trying to get around and she’s trying to get around so i just stood there waiting for her to make a move

she goes around the stack of food and gets so close to me i can feel the heat of her body, she had more room to not get so close

zen_mystical  is not like r|zen where everyone has a different point of view and disputes, and that’s mostly what it is, endless roughhouse !

the real zen is no different from mystical traditions in christianity, sufi, islam, literature and even pop culture   .   .

if you want to comment on r|zen_mystical you really need to be in agreement with what i am OPing and saying, ie you accept that i know what i am on about to a large extent, i don’t claim perfection but this is a life’s work for me and i need to have got it right !

as i say if you don’t think i have it substantially right then there’s r|zen and other battlefields with their own way of looking at things !

a way to encapsulate the r|zen viewpoint is they regard huang po and dahui as being a valid scriptural source, but in my view neither is fully enlightened which is quite a big difference from them !

huang po and dahui do the deconstruction of dogma very well but they are missing the next step and actually their idea of the next step is wrong !

to say what their idea of the next step is and how they are missing the real next step is too difficult to answer without a lot of work and the problem is you are always dealing with translations and the veracity of transcriptions !

“   the hypoglycemia  usually happens when i eat a large volume of carbohydrates at once, where i go from one extreme  (hyperglycemia)  to hypoglycemic after a few hours

so do i have a two hour window on both the circadian rhythms of sleep and eating ?

like if i normally go to sleep at 12am i can go to sleep at 10pm through 2am ?

half an hour really and less really you want to be within five minutes

unless you are ill in which case sleep more

i want to go to sleep later, i’m used to falling asleep at 11:30pm, how do i shift ?

its the same as jet lag, light modulates the rhythm, at 11.30 each night i without fail go onto the red light of my headlamp so in theory i can go to sleep from then on, but in fact spend a couple of hours just sitting or wandering around in a sort of meditative or contemplative mode, if the weather is ok, i go outside for a bit, surprisingly a bright moon can desynchronize the circadian rhythm !

you need to understand what  ‘ colour temperature ’  is ,  ‘ cooler ’  has more blue and less red and  ‘ warmer ’  has more red and less blue

the body clock naturally moves forward half an hour a day !

so if you went to sleep at 12 tonight you’d go to sleep tomorrow at 12:30 ?

i would want to, but since this would screw up the timing of the next day too much we reset every day by getting up at the same time

it matters more what time you go to sleep rather than what time you wake up ?

what matters the most is the light changes matching the natural cycle, red rich tones before bed and to a lesser extent such as would occur at dawn in the morning

my sleeping hours are not that stable, but the one thing that works as a rule is to either go to dark or red light at 11.30pm and when i get up, if its early try to keep things dark !

sometimes i will stretch the 11.30 to 12 and exceptionally to 12.30am

you can actually feel when your circadian rhythm gets disrupted by light with too much blue in at the wrong time !

College student just diagnosed with HIV.  Are there any cutting edge treatments on the horizon, regardless of a potential exorbitant cost ?

I am a 22 year old gay white male who was just diagnosed with HIV.  Otherwise, I am incredibly healthy  –  6  feet tall, 150 lbs, athletic, etc.  I was even on PrEP and almost practiced safe sex, except when I was dating someone.  However, I missed a few days of PrEP while vacationing in April, and had unprotected sex with one person, and partially protected sex with another  (I made him put on a condom part way through, as I was too drunk to realize he was not wearing one at first).

I have informed my parents, and they hired a consultant to find the best doctors in my hometown (Manhattan).  My question is this  –  are there any cutting edge treatments that are available, even as just a clinical study ?  I recall reading that there was a  study  in Sweden where the participants no longer needed daily drugs, and were essentially  “ virus-free ”

The reason I ask is that my father is very independently wealthy.  His net worth is above $50 million, and I know for a fact that a great portion of that money is liquid.  I am lucky to already have health insurance, but are there any treatments not yet approved that could offer me a better prognosis ?  I mean, what is the use of having all of this money if it cannot help me at all in this sense ?

I don’t want to start a health care debate, as I believe diseases like this highlight why universal healthcare is important.  That said, is this really a situation where money cannot do anything, even though we are making daily break throughs with the treatment of this disease ?

“ was bukowski a derelict  ?   i think so

alcohol made him a derelict, pot makes you a derelict

“ i should be in jail right now, i was smoking pot while driving and i got lucky   .   .   the tow truck driver said most people would be locked up after something like that

so if you had slept decently you wouldn’t have crashed ?

“ researchers  examined what kinds of dairy each person consumed, including milk, cream, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, butter, margarine and sherbet

they then looked at whether full-fat dairy, as whole milk, was associated with a risk of parkinson’s disease; there was no association

however, those who consumed at least three servings of low-fat dairy a day had a 34 percent greater chance of developing parkinson’s than people who consumed less than one serving per day

the researchers also found that when looking specifically at skim and low-fat milk consumption, there was a 39 percent greater chance of developing parkinson’s for people who consumed more than one serving per day compared to those who consumed less than one serving per week ”

“ the  study  was a meta-analysis which compared the results of hundreds of studies where sugar concentrations were controlled and sugar type was the variable

It turned out that fructose is no worse for you than other sugars and in fact in terms of your blood glucose after eating, which is what particularly diabetics are concerned about, it is actually quite beneficial

this is because fructose needs to be converted by the liver first which creates a time lag before it can affect glucose concentrations in the blood ”

“ she takes anxiety medication and something for her add, maybe i heard her say another one.

i wanted to ask her what were the names of the meds but probably not anymore ”

she needs to look at the meds and side effects, inevitably if she consistently takes them over several years she will develop significant health problems from them

if she is prone to anxiety then you are going to have to be careful in your dealings with her !

if there’s one thing women can be vindictive about, its any intimation they are  “ damaged goods ”  !

the meds are huge deal, the net is full of women whose health has been wrecked by long term use of pyschiatric meds

she wants to do some research on the side effects of the meds she is taking, i think its fair to tell her that, most likely she won’t, but she has been warned !

i don’t think she suits you personality wise, she’s a bit stupid and not wanting to get wiser, a bitch and materialist !

when i was seven years old and in school we began to learn cursive, somehow i managed to completely avoid the exercises that we used to learn it

now i now only know two letters in script;  “ j ”  and  “ d ”  so i could have a signature, and i only learned that when i was eighteen !

i was put into a special class called  “ reading ”  when i was six because i was behind in my reading ability, i only left that extracurricular class when i was about ten

and now with learning other languages i’ve given up, i know a bit of spanish and portuguese but i refuse to learn any more

it was all too much effort and when it’s too much effort i let it go !
