The Law of Consciousness

G-morning 🎈 

This is Andrew's Apples, a small white bag of four fresh *fruits* to nourish your soul and make you feel great. Like a quick spin around the hippie-dippie farmer's market, but people are actually wearing shoes and they showered. Mask off! All in under 2 minutes. Let's go picking. 

1. 🧠 The Law of Consciousness. This tweet. The LoC states that your world is merely your conditioned consciousness objectified. Now a pre-K translation: you become your feelings. In that tweet, you can't tell me the girl on the left did not want to become the girl on the right. Look to the science, or just check her energized glow - she looks happier, unfatigued, confident. Those reading this newsletter are not monks on a mountaintop, and thus have to deal daily with vanity, insecurity, self-doubt, social politics, the brute force and weight of a cold dispassionate world. Both in others and in ourselves. But there is a way out: Learning to train your feelings in a positive direction is man's highest achievement.

2. 🪓 Lotta wood to chop. When I worked in finance, and my VP tiptoed over to my cube at 4pm on a Friday, I knew what was coming. There was 'wood to chop,' meaning tons of unimaginative + meaningless work to be done. And the due date was, of course, asap. That was six years ago and what I've realized is that the pile of wood to chop never really went away, instead it just replenished. Those trees get chopped into smaller pieces and those pieces then get chopped ever smaller into paper. And while paper-pushing via Wi-Fi signal is by and large how work is done today, I still romanticize the dust bowl farmer: calloused hands, a rolled cigarette in his dirty mouth, patched overalls, that smile-scowl, and a field of actual wood to chop.

3. 🌊 Salt away. Drinking water ain't what it used to be. "To properly hydrate, you have to consume water that is rich in minerals and low in contaminants." You will not get such minerals from tap, filtered, or bottled sources. Easy fix: add a pinch of Celtic sea salt (contains nearly 80 trace elements/minerals). The health community as of late seems to be really pushing for drinking obscene volumes of water. Anything north of 2.5L/day will cause problems and you'll be peeing around the clock. No bueno. Add the salt, drink when you're thirsty, and move forward. Sure, salt is chef's secret, but don't overthink it, Skipper.

4. 🦶 Walk around naked. In your yard. Run when the cops show up. Lmfao. Fr tho: Walk barefoot outside in the grass every day, not for long (22m is the ideal minimum dose). "Grounding reduces inflammation and promotes normal functioning of all body systems." The weather is changing for those of us in the north; no excuses for the hotties down south. Catch me outside on the grass court, how 'bout that?

How do you like them Apples? Suggestions? Hate me? If you ever need anything, hit reply.
