Quote from: AndrewTheSingerIs it common to see an aura around the fingertips? I ask because there's this one picture I took that has a pattern of lights, from left to right: red, yellow and white, maybe I can post it here?


Andrew, this might be of interest to you...

A study by Misuo Hiramatsu at Hamamatsu Photonics in Japan discovered that human hands emit light all the time, in particular the fingernails. Other parts of the body that emit light are the forehead and bottoms of our feet.

"The detector found that fingernails release 60 photons, fingers release 40 and the palms are the dimmest of all, with 20 photons measured."

Fritz-Albert Popp, a leading world expert on biologically related photons, believes that the light pulses out with basic rhythms, but become irregular in unhealthy people. In the future, the light from our hands and rest of our body may be used to diagnose medical problems.

Here is the palm. I just photographed mine, as I have no scanner. One I kept my fingers in because I read somewhere that shape and length of them is important.

And since the person analyzing them cannot feel them for themselves I'll just fill in a few details. They're extremely dry, I've never had moist palms all my life. The skin is very thin and pale, you may notice a bit translucent (veins), but my palms themselves are rough to the touch. Also they've looked like that all my life, always have been deeply lined and old looking.
I also hear shape of fingernails is important...(??) I may post a picture of them later.

We can just post them and wait for someone, I think.

I tried reading about it online yesterday. I know what all the lines and objects are, just not what they mean. Kind of wish we had a resident expert here...I have a strange symbol that I've wondered about since I was little. It's attached to what I think is my fate line =p It's etched in very deep.

I think I might post a picture of my palms and let someone have at it.

Let's talk about it...

Can anyone here read palms?
I've never had mine read. I'm curious.

I know it's a pseudopsychology...not sure if I can totally believe in it. But even if it's just for fun it appears my hands will have much to say. They only look 80 years old. O_o

Anyone else have ancient palm syndrome? :P

It never made a difference for me.

I know about all of them, the stereotypes. I have many vegetarian friends.

I've only ever come across two individuals who were highly mean and unfriendly about it. It was like they were on the warpath when they crossed me. I figured it was just how they were...and regardless of them being passionate about vegetarianism. I told them off...but, for being jerks. Not for being vegetarian or passionate. = P

Now for some meat eaters (I dislike that term by the way) it only takes one batsh!t crazy person (that happens to be vegetarian) attacking their character to make up their mind about the whole. The reverse is also true. There are plenty of passionate animal rights activists who are friendly and polite. And that's all that matters. I know this to be true, and do not judge. I actually assume people are good, until they give me an extreme reason to believe otherwise.

A bad attitude absolutely poisons a good idea sometimes...

Thanks John.

I don't know why some in this world just look for reasons to disapprove of or not like other people. I'm the opposite. I will find that thing I like about someone, and end up loving them. :hearts: lol

It just seems diet should be considered insignificant. I don't know how one can pay so much attention to their diet and stand it. It makes food a great deal less enjoyable. I hardly enjoy eating after the lengths I must go to. The funny thing is, I don't have a choice...while a vegan or vegetarian would. If I don't follow certain dietary guidelines I can have a seizure or go into a coma. Food can kill me rather quickly if I'm not so careful. Finding the balance between food and insulin is imperative...demanding and exhausting.

What I would give to not have to worry so much about what I eat...




In other news...this terrible thing called salad happened to me the other day. It was horrifying. j/k :wink:

Mine came from the title of a poem that I wrote.
But really I just like the word.

Quote from: Astir

I think...your diet makes up less than .001% of who you are as a person.

I have to totally disagree with you on that point. I don't think we realize how important food is to us. Food is a big part of our lives. It is something we deal with throughout the day, every day for our entire life. Now it may not be something a lot of people think about and thus don't find that important, but think about how food effects your life. Eating is not just about keeping that pain out of your tummy. It gives us those things we need to stay alive and healthy. But it also has a social aspect. Families sit down over a cooked meal. Work places sometimes have meals for employees. Family get togethers usually include food. Who has not been on a date that involved eating? Diet is a big part of who we are. It may not matter to me or you what we each eat since we will probably never eat together, but if we did it could have atleast some influence on each of us. It would certainly effect what was cooked or where we went to eat.



Well, let me put it this way...
That is how much what you eat matters to me. .001%. Otherwise I think of you as a human being. Not a meat eater, not a vegetarian. It's not something that matters to me. I will not judge people based on what they eat. It's a concept I find too absurd.

Also, I never consumed much meat. And yes I did try to ween myself off with help from knowledgable vegetarians. Just believe me when I say It didn't work. You also missed a very huge point I made. I'm allergic to supplemental vitamin B12. So, what option does that leave me since it only occurs naturally in one thing? I have to eat meat.

I get very sick when I eat anything enriched with B12. Try to understand...it's also hard for me to make sure everything I eat doesn't contain certain things. I know the pain in the butt it is to avoid certain ingredients. I also have celiac disease and must do my very best to avoid gluten (guess how many things gluten is in :shock: ). I'm also highly lactose intolerant and allergic to half the vegetables in existence. I KNOW what a strict, altered diet is like. I know it so well that I've stopped eating out and when I eat at someones house, I just eat what I can. I'm not going to complain to people because I have a different diet.

I'm also a type 1 diabetic, and must count carbs religiously, and purchase items based on that. Understand that I must eat food like taking medicine. If I was to alter my diet one more time...I'd probably go insane.  :sad3:

And sometimes I do quite enjoy meat above all else. Because it's the one carbfree thing I can eat without having to inject insulin.

I'm actually exhausted with dieting and watching everything I eat. It's such a pain that I'm ready to go anorexic... :sad3:

Some fancy white colored pencil and I believe some chalk as well. On a black board.

Ah...well, now I regret saying anything and getting into this again.

I think...your diet makes up less than .001% of who you are as a person. So, definitely a silly, very petty thing to judge someone over. When I meet you, I'm certainly not considering what you eat.

Yes I've seen inside a slaughter house and watched all the gruesome videos that exist online. I also know that for many people it may be more healthy to be vegetarian. But there are biological exceptions, and that is the way it is. I know firsthand. It is not always a matter of choice.

But, yes, I eat meat. I understand it can't be explained to some really staunch vegetarians, but medically I cannot go vegetarian. I've tried explaining...it's not that I am against it. With me, there is not a reason to be so defensive. There isn't a reason to argue.

It's a tired old argument.

And when you think about it, pretty ridiculous.

Everyone should give it less consideration, if anything.

It still scares me.

I physically cannot be a vegetarian (tried it out once).
One reason is that saturated fat is about the only thing that keeps me from dematerializing. My metabolism is ridiculous...a demanding monstrous thing. Or it hardly metabolizes, malabsorption...I'm not sure which is my problem. I have a hard maintaining a healthy weight. Well...not a hard time, but a face-stuffing junk-food-inhaling time. When I eat healthy or don't eat as much meat I start to look ghastly thin, in less that 2 weeks time.

I also seem to have an allergy of sorts to supplimental Vitamin B12. Whenever I take a multivitamin or eat anything enriched with B12 I get tremors and sometimes vomit. And those symptoms ARE like that of being moderately poisoned by cyanide...look up the components of supplimental B12 and you'll see why I have my problem.

I'm also unable to digest a vast number of vegetables...it kind of runs in the family. :shock:


:cool:
I'm the bane of the militant vegetarian and vegans existence. I've really made some of them despise me just by explaining my diverse system, disproving their belief that everyone should and very well can become vegetarian. I don't believe that will happen here, though, as no one seems to have that militant attitude.

The side yard one morning.

half pencil, half ink.

I'm fond of mixing.

I know that daze well.

The shielding techniques tend to cause that in me.

Over the years I've been able to internalize the emotions of others without display. But I never really had a problem with that aspect of empathy in the first place (except among family members...ah, the raging battles that have passed :p).

What I'm trying to say, shielding or no shielding...a large problem is...my own emotions cannot find their way to the surface either. Feelings easily manage their way in but never find their way out. I've had people (even those closest to me) frequently mention and even complain about "how detached and apathetic" I am. When truly, inside, I am anything but. I've just become hardwired to no longer express. My body language is...nonexistent.

My only allies are language and caffiene. I can tell how I feel if I need to. And if I drink enough caffeine I can at least be more kinetic. Hahh :p

They're all watercolor actually, I have a weird way with that medium. I like it dark.

I love your seascapes, Nay. I couldn't believe how pretty the nighttime one was. It's exquisite.

Here's one of my oils.

It's not a matter of right or wrong, understanding or not understanding. You probably can't even imagine the sh!tty hands that some people are dealt in this world...who actually want only to live.
It's a matter of weakness. Are you weak, or whoever you're talking about, are they weak? Don't be so weak that you can't just wait around for that good thing to happen...I promise, it always comes. It just hasn't yet, it always takes its time.
