Caffeine is also known to reduce the amount of deep sleep you get; which is helpful for longevity, helping you live longer and improves health. These are some of the latest claims I’ve heard.
I’m not here to change others but myself, and that’s why I posted this. Quite frankly I love caffeine but it doesn’t love me back. I’ve just been going thru some changes in attitudes and consciousness; that include the elimination of caffeine from my diet.
People who have been abusing caffeine often notice the neurological suggestions that they should quit it. The system knows when the concentration is too much and when it is advisable to eliminate from the diet a specific molecule which has become an irritant.
Mccoy I really wish that was true. And no doubt it is for many people. However, I have noticed no irritation from caffeine. In fact it makes me feel a type of exhilaration. At least in some energy drinks, which have other ingredients than just coffee/caffeine. Do you think Paramahansa Yogananda was right when he suggested to stop the use of caffeine to be able to increase memory? No doubt there is also a reason that monks and nuns take a vow of celibacy also. Perhaps there are higher forms of pleasure. Or we can experience bliss from meditation in the relinquishment of various sense fulfillments. I’m not an expert on these matters and my body does not want me to be. Although my inner awakenings in life tell me something different. There is a balance in everything. But how do we know just how much we should balance out our desires with a spiritual life? I do not practice complete abstaining from all sensual pleasures. As Sri Yukteswar said, give the dog a bone. But I doubt he meant feed the dog steak daily as well. What is your take on this ‘sphere of thought’?’
Notice in the photo below, my favorite drink has 8 vitamins, Ginseng and Guarana. Although I know, most if not all, sensory pleasures that are packaged beautifully, are not all safe. You can’t tell a person or thing by what it’s wrapped in. It takes time and patience for most things on this material planet. Mccoy you and I have both seen that to be true, quite a few times since we met.
We’ve all heard the saying; “You can’t judge a book by its cover” but Paramahansa Yogananda was said to be able to put his hand on the cover of a book and then knew it’s contents.
