Practical Tips
• LIVE instead of watching TV
Stop watching TV if you want inner growth. TV takes all your creativity and focus and dumps it into triviality.
It gives you nothing in return.
You may think - as billions others do - you only watch little and then only select programs of high cultural value.
But - don't kid yourself. Your TV runs all the time. And though it grabs your focus only now and then, it still blunts all perception what lines of action lead to inner growth and which don't.
Extract yourself fully from this debilitating power. Get rid of these machines, - throw them away.
Live vegetarian Switching to vegetarian food promotes subtle insights. There is not scientific proof, but ample first-hand experience of many people.
So - give it a try. Stop eating meat or fish in any form for two whole months. Four to six weeks after the switch you'll experience first results - clarity of mind, a feeling of lightness in your body and ease of comprehension.
Then decide whether you prefer this clarity to the brief taste of meat or fish.
But - if you go for this test - eat 100% vegetarian for the entire time. Don't break it once, not even for a party or any other reason. Otherwise you won't feel any effect.
