Condensed calories, salt assault, and sugar-bage • These three ‘evils’ ambush our WILL daily at places of work, restaurants, parties, and even at home. • Businesses know our weaknesses: There are a variety of flavors in the market already, and they spend a BOATLOAD OF MONEY in devising another product with ‘killer flavor.’ • Authorities argue and inundate ‘reliable sources’ with controversial data, which bamboozle our intellect and give excuses to our WILL. • Government agencies label products endlessly, which tries our patience and gobbles up DEAR, DEAR TIME. • Strong Couch Force : Inactivity and inertia are inherent in human nature. • We tend to gravitate to the couch. • To emphasize the point, we would like to say Couch Force is stronger than Strong Nuclear Force, the strongest force known to humans. • Entertainment industry endeavors constantly to keep us glued to the couch • WILL has to constantly battle against this powerful force and kick our butt. • These powerful temptations (this vicious network of “silly” pleasures and desires), armed with constant positive feedback from friends, family, and social media, weaken the poorly developed Will further; she becomes feeble, debilitated, and vacillating. • This Will has to be rescued and rehabilitated before she is completely lost to the state of beyond repair. • The best weapon we have is the unpolluted portion of the Will that has to defeat the polluted portion with the help of Reason and Truth. • We have to wake that unpolluted portion of the Will up. • Therefore, be Will-oriented. https://www.piplushealth.com/truth daily 0.75 2021-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61720fb6c7a84a0935f5856b/1635646389533-7RPHPKVS0JQGS41G4P4G/Slide2.JPG Truth - Truth • As we are constantly bombarded by truths, untruths, and opinions, we better define Truth for our purpose. • As per MWD, one definition of truth is, "The body of real things, events, and facts: ACTUALITY. • Also, it defines truth as, "a judgement, proposition, or idea that is true or accepted as true." • We will use these two definitions. • Truth is also transcendent fundamental reality, which we invoke in prayer to guide us through. • Scientific facts, common-sense truths, and Reason would be our constant compass for the lost Will and the corrupted Soul. • With the help of Truths and “awakened” unpolluted portion of the Will (W-AU) guided by uncorrupted portion of the Soul, one could gradually redeem polluted and corrupted portions of Will and Soul. • Good health would simply follow, malignant maladies would mellow, and Life would not be hollow. • Therefore, be Truth-oriented. https://www.piplushealth.com/deshi-meditations daily 0.75 2022-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61720fb6c7a84a0935f5856b/1635556133912-7986IW9G9FTKQCBCV6PF/DESHI.jpeg Deshi Meditations - DESHI Meditations The various elements of the π Plus Project are: • Diet • Exercise • Sleep • Harmony: Among Nature, SOUL, WILL, Conciousness, Ego, Reason, Mind (Emotions), Senses, Motor organs, Desire/Aversion, Pleasure/Pain, TRUTHS • Interactions • Meditations: Spiritual and non-spiritual https://www.piplushealth.com/harmony-interactions daily 0.75 2021-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61720fb6c7a84a0935f5856b/1635557079653-KG95KQXDM8EA6ABST0Y9/harmony.jpeg Harmony & Interactions - Harmony Harmony with the following elements is essential for Good Health. • Nature, SOUL, WILL, Consciousness, Ego, Reason, Mind (Emotions), Senses, Motor organs, Desire/Aversion, Pleasure/Pain, TRUTHs • Please observe each element, analyze, dwell on, read, ask, research, experiment, and decide for yourself who you are. • Strive for Harmony; perfect harmony is very hard or impossible; but striving for it does give the delight of trying and might give some insights about yourself. • Remember your W-AU is the captain of your boat. Interactions •As we all know very well, humans are social animals. •A few folks love absolute solitude all the time; but most of us love some interactions. •Proliferation of social media shows that most of us like a lot of social interactions. •Positive interactions in moderation are good for health. •The important, but tough task is to figure out what you need. •Avoid getting involved in insulting or offending others. •Remember your W-AU is the captain of your boat. https://www.piplushealth.com/conclusions daily 0.75 2022-03-21 https://www.piplushealth.com/diet daily 0.75 2021-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61720fb6c7a84a0935f5856b/1635556504551-5IV8KJ4SQXCD3N6W7TY2/diet1.jpeg Diet - Diet • Grains: Wheat, Rice, Corn etc. • Oils and Butter • Legumes: Lentils and Beans • Dairy • Vegetables • Fruits • Nuts and seeds • Poultry, Eggs, Meats, and Seafood You do not need to jeopardize your tastes: Eat in moderation as per your liking with some simple doable restrictions.
