Naast de in voorgaande lessen genoemde gewone voeding is er een enorm aanbod gekomen van alternatieven, aanvullende voeding en zelfs vervangende producten. Al deze goederen hebben eigen productie en afzetkanalen die ook weer een eigen groep volgelingen en gebruikers hebben.
Laten we samen kijken in welke winkels wordt wat voor voeding aangeboden.
· Supermarkten. Hier wordt elk soort voeding en andere producten aangeboden. Er is sprake van verschillende merken en kwaliteiten. Het aanbod is enorm en het gaat vooral om de verkoop, het gemak en doorloopsnelheid. Er is zelden sprake van selectie en de prijs speelt het doorslaggevend element.
· Specialiteitenzaken. Deze zaken richten zich op een specifieke doelgroep waarbij er een aantal kenmerkende producten overheersen. Dit soort zaken loopt uiteen van land gespecialiseerde tot productgerichte assortimenten.
· Voedingssupplementen bedrijven. Een geheel eigen segment zijn de voedingssupplementen waarbij de assortiment keuze loopt van gezondheid tot extreme sport. De producten bestaan uit kruiden tot chemische preparaten.
· Natuurzaken. Deze bedrijven zijn ofwel direct bij de boer zelf aan huis of op specifieke locaties waarbij de weg bron naar consument zo kort mogelijk wordt gehouden.

In mijn les over “Waarom eten we” gaf ik al aan dat we met onze voeding een weg hebben doorlopen voor we in het heden zijn. Deze ontwikkeling is vooral interessant omdat de voeding die wij nu eten nog heel jong is.
Alles wat wij nu eten is in de afgelopen 150 jaar ontwikkeld. Er is bijna geen enkele voeding meer op de markt die geen verandering heeft ondergaan in de afgelopen 150 jaar.
De reden dat alle voeding veranderd moest worden is dat het van de productie voor enkelen naar een productie voor velen moest gaan. Met andere woorden alle voeding moest een productieproces doorlopen om te voldoen aan de nieuwe eisen.
De productie van voeding heeft op heel veel manieren een verandering ondergaan. Ik geef hier een aantal voorbeelden die je zelf bij de beantwoording van de les kan uitbreiden.

Elk organisme moet eten om te leven. Ook wij. De mens moet eten om veel redenen. Laten we even kijken welke redenen er zijn om te eten;
· De eerste reden om te eten is omdat we honger voelen. Onze maag en darmen geven signalen naar ons hoofd dat ze vulling nodig hebben. Dit is de belangrijkste reden waarom we eten zoeken en opeten.
· Pas nadat hieraan voldaan is volgen de biologisch verklaarbare redenen. Welke zijn dat
o Energie
o Herstel
o Groei en functioneren
o Doorstromen van het lichaam en afvoeren van afvalstoffen
· Als laatste reden is dat we bij het eten samen komen en sociaal contact met elkaar hebben. In veel landen is het de maaltijd die mensen samenbrengt.
Zoals je ziet eten we om veel meer redenen dan om te overleven. De mens begon zich al heel vroeg van de dieren te onderscheiden door de manier van eten en de manieren waarop het eten verkregen werd.

Een bezoek aan elk willekeurig publiek gebouw leert dat de willekeur van maatregelen hoogtij viert. Overal worden andere maatregelen gehanteerd die zogenaamd ter preventie zijn van het COVID virus. Maar werken deze maatregelen wel? Over de werkzaamheid zijn op dit moment veel discussies gaande die van zogenaamd wetenschappelijk tot complete conspiracy theorie uiteenlopen. Niemand weet het precies omdat de gevaren dan wel onderschat ofwel overschat worden. Feitelijk staan we voor een heel andere vraag. Is ons preventiebeleid wel goed?

Hoeveel mensen zullen bekennen dat het naar binnen kijken bij de buren heel leuk is? Wie zal echt bekennen dat de problemen van anderen jezelf kunnen motiveren? Roddelbladen verkopen als jaren het beste maar niet veel mensen zullen ervoor uitkomen dat zij ze lezen. We kijken met z’n allen het liefst naar buiten, naar wat de anderen doen. Een belangrijke reden waarom wij dat doen is dat we ervan leren. Door het bestuderen van anderen leren wij hoe we ons moeten gedragen, wat de normen en waarden zijn van die mensen en of dit ook voor ons zelf geld en natuurlijk genieten we van de problemen van de anderen. Wat kan jij ermee doen?

Addiction is often not recognized by family and friends. The true cause of addiction is found in the fact that people close to the person do not wish to recognize or admit the dangers luring the person into a negative spiral. Most people know and see what is going on but deny the situation, ignore the signs, and even stimulate the addiction. We all can become addicted. But only a few develop a real addiction. How is that possible?

Beweging is belangrijk voor lichaam en geest. We krijgen dagelijks te horen dat we moeten bewegen om gezond te blijven maar er zit meer aan dan alleen gezond blijven. Ons lichaam is net als een windmolen. Wanneer het stilstaat maakt het geen energie. Om energie voor zowel lichaam als geest te krijgen moet het lichaam blijven bewegen. Om dit te begrijpen ga ik op een zo eenvoudig mogelijke manier de werking van de cel uitleggen.

Alleen staan of alleen staand
Laat ik beginnen met een gedicht van mijzelf te citeren alvorens dieper op dit onderwerp in te gaan.
Wanneer de dagen lengen
De zon niet meer kan verzengen
Komt het besef binnen
Waar we weer aan beginnen
Die lange donkere maanden
Waar we al vaker een weg door baanden
Steeds lijkt die weg een stukje langer
En is de smaak iets wranger
Elke keer wanneer het weer voor bij is
Voel ik het gemis
Ergens in mijn hoofd blijft het gat
Dat er in mijn kindertijd niet zat
Een zwaar gedicht dat refereert naar het feit dat we als kinderen opgroeien en veel meemaken.
Soms staan we alleen maar zijn niet alleen staand, we horen ergens bij.
Je hebt allemaal een sociale groep waar je jezelf thuis hebt gevoeld, althans de meeste mensen.
Bij het ouder worden vallen mensen weg en bij de heel oude mensen kan het zijn dat iedereen is weggevallen die de jeugdtijd deelde.
Dan ben je echt alleen staand.

Slowly the world is coming aware of the path of nature, the unknown road that nature is following into the future. We are confronted with numerous diseases, climate change, and changing landscapes. The world is changing at a faster speed than we expected than we did calculate for. Our world as we thought to know it, is disappearing. Governments assist in unknowingly the changes that nature is dictating. Everywhere there is an awareness that we are fighting nature as we do not like its ways and how it behaves to us.

Vraag jij je ook wel eens af hoe eenzaamheid werkelijk ontstaat? Veel mensen leven in eenzaamheid maar het moet toch ergens een keer begonnen zijn. Om dit te begrijpen laten we samen eens de weg terug bewandelen en kijken hoe we in de toekomst de eenzaamheid kunnen voorkomen. In bijna elke klas vanaf de peuterschool zijn er kinderen die niet in de groep passen, die er net buiten staan. Deze kinderen staan vaak alleen en kunnen het middelpunt van Pesters worden. Het belangrijkste van deze momenten is het feit dat hier de eerste zaden van de eenzaamheid worden gelegd.

Eenzaamheid is een gevoel en niet alleen het feit dat je alleen bent. Mensen die alleen zijn hoeven zich niet eenzaam te voelen maar kunnen het wel zijn. Het gevoel eenzaamheid is als een zwart gat in je ziel dat heel klein begint en steeds groter wordt. Dit zwarte gat trekt je steeds verder weg van andere mensen. Je leven voelt niet als dat je met anderen iets deelt. Eenzaamheid zorgt ervoor dat je steeds vaker het gevoel te hebben om er alleen voor te staan. Voor veel mensen die eenzaamheid voelen betekend dat niet dat ze ook echt helemaal alleen zijn.

Our live is built on teaching and advise but when we have a psychological problem, we suddenly need to find our own solution. In this podcast I question the functioning of psychology during patient sessions. Why must a psychologist guide a person to solve their own problem and is not allowed to give advice? Is this the correct procedure?

When the Buddha started his search for the truth he went on a lonely path to seek the inner self and the immortal reality. His search went from moderate to extreme and finally back to ordinary life. He ended his life by sitting under his Banyan tree and teaching others the lessons he did learn. Analyzing the path of truth shows that unite effort is shared effort and together we reach more than alone. When do you participate? www.Yotha.info

Buddhists are vegetarians. This story still goes around the world. It is not true. Buddhists, even the monks, are allowed to eat meat. Food has an important function in our life, it affects our body and mind all the time. When we look at the neurobiological side of the digestive system we find that science slowly gets convinced that it has a “mind of its own” In other words, science slowly starts to accept that the digestive system has some kind of brain function in the body.

Maya means illusion. Your perception of the world is based on illusion. But how does it work and why is it like that? Everything we perceive is based on personal dependent observation. Knowing this fact we realize that nothing is one hundred percent certain and factual and everything is only temporary. Are we the only creatures in the universe with a conscious of this illusion?

Religion has been always a male thing and females where not involved in the reading, remembering, and interpretation of any religion in the world. How much of it is true?

We live in a time where we have to consider losing and change as the new normal. Our life will change with the events going on around us and most of it is out of our control. Losing control over a situation or event is often shocking and brings us out of balance. The grief of loss or fear of change have many things in common. How we get around with these moments of negative events in our life is dependent on our character and upbringing.

Suddenly all came tumbling down. The world got a stop sign and nearly everything got affected. Most considered the effect as very negative as it did disturb their routine based lives. The negative feeling came when they realized that they had no freedom to do whatever they wanted, that they had to be considerate of others, and that they had to carry responsibility for others. The new situation demands consideration of your current life, your position in work and society, it shows if you are important enough to others or not.

One of the first things that goes on hold during a crisis is your sex life. Stress is not good for your potency. Isolation, on the other hand, can create an opposite effect. This all depends on the age and health of the people living together. Most couples consider the unique chance as an opportunity to have sex as often as possible. Some hardly leave the bed in the first few days, do you recognize it?

Listening to the daily news is an attack on your mental immune system. News, in general, is negative and heavy to the soul. Especially when you care and have a warm heart for society and the world. It gets to you. Negativism is like an infection of the body and it starts with the venerability of your mind. Like with an open wound or the information pathogen that enters the mind will infect it like a virus.

What do muscles have to do with immunity? This is the first reaction of most people who hear this for the first time. Every muscle has a function and we have specific muscles that support our immunity system all the way. You remember my stories about lungs, digestive system, and later also the blood circulation. Each system is supported by muscles to make it work. Besides the support of every part of our body, the muscles do have a more direct function in immunity.

But we are not that weak, our stomach is a massive defender of our health, a very strong fighter to danger. Your stomach contains strong acid and enzymes to break down food and destroys contaminations.

We all feel a need to understand immunity. What is immunity and how does it work, but also how can we make it stronger? First, we have to separate immunity in at least two main categories. Our first immunity is physical immunity which is the defense system of our body against intruders. The second immunity is our mental immunity against pollution of our mind. I will address this topic in different short Podcasts. React and interact is the key to our immunity and strength. Get to action and respond

Our health is the only value we have and to survive we should pay attention to it. Being a serious asthmatic did bring me often on the border of life and death. In the next lecture, I will focus on that border but for this lecture, I wish to focus on how to stay healthy and survive as much as we can.
The first principle of life is movement. We need to move to stay alive. Our physic is made to be active. Activity demands energy. Energy comes from our food. This implies that we are what we eat. We should be careful about what we eat as food is also a medicine.

Fear is a natural mechanism to protect us from harm.
Most people believe that fear is a negative concept that we must avoid or even stop at all costs.
But thanks to fear the human is still here.
Our species has the unique ability to use fear to our advantage.
We must not stop fear but learn how to control and understand it.
In this Podcast we try to understand it, learn to live with it and try to find ways to control it.
Initially, we have some basic fears that are needed and which we did learn while growing up.

The world seems a better place during the time of need and suffering.
We are all looking for the connection to relate to each other, to support each other to pass what is happening. Our question is how we are able to really connect with each other and make it a lasting effect? This is a question most of empathic people wonder about. How can we make the good vibes last? Our first thought is to understand what empathy really is and how it starts. The first rule of empathy is simple and covers most of the meaning; “do to others what you wish to happen to yourself”.

We all think to know what mood is. It is the way we feel at a particular time of the day.
We have recognized many different forms of mood and most of us will pass them all during our lifetime. The mood is not human, all animals and plants do have a certain mood also. And most interesting, their mood is also changing. It is good as we look more closely at what the state of mood is.
Our mood is based on some fundamental characteristics or also called the temperament of our mind and physic. The mood is something which is the result of the millions of chemical reactions in our body which all affect our neural system.

Sometimes you meet people who show the behavior of arrogance and you feel that they try to put you down by their actions. The person shows an intimidating and expressive behavior which gives the environment the thought of looking down upon others, and often masculine behavior or superiority.
But is what you see also a real fact? From all my research I found that arrogance is a defense mechanism to hide underlying emotions. Many experts explain these emotions as insecurity but I found other emotions are even as likely to be possible. Let me explain a few emotions which can be covered by arrogance.

Pride has no borders or limitations
It is not open for investigations
You feel it all over your body and mind
So deep that roots cannot be find
But the result is clear
As you feel it right here
Pride is a secondary emotion and can have a more way explanation. There is a positive pride which shows by a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are admired. Pride is also the confidence and self-respect as expressed by members of a group, typically one that has been socially marginalized, on the basis of their shared identity, culture, and experience.
It is possible to show pride outwardly but most of the time it is an inward-directed feeling and not visibly expressed.

Try to look at the mirror deep
Do you see a wolf or a sheep
Is there a lion or you feel fear
Or a roaring bear or running dear
Your attitude is all what count
It makes your talking sound
Every individual has an attitude towards people and things in life. This attitude is a behavioral expression of liking or disliking expressed in body language, speech or action. An attitude is created by the observation of how others behave. Children start to have an attitude at around the age of one-year-old. The did learn how to behave by the observation of actions and reactions of the parents and siblings. Attitude consists of the conscious and unconscious component which both are charged from the beginning.

Does it empower or make it worse
Are we all under this yoke
Does it make us choke
Or is it a need to survive
And makes humanity drive

Respect is given, never taken
Neither stirred or shaken
It comes from the heart
Respect is everything and never apart
Respect is a way of treating or thinking about something or someone. We respect for a reason.
The reason is because it is a teacher, someone with knowledge you would like to learn from, a parent who you love and have a proper behavior, elderly people or any other reason.
But we also respect objects like buildings because they have a history, paintings which are beautiful and unique, different music and musicians.
It goes on and on if you have the inner gratitude to be able to offer respect.

Honor is based on something solid in the past. During the middle ages, the term “honor” did refer to the estate of a person or Nobel and did concern all of its property. The saying “on my honor” was used when the person did put all its estate as a guarantee for a deal or agreement. Slowly the term changed in value to become equal to a person’s reputation. In most countries, during the middle ages, there was no such thing as police to uphold the law. A person’s reputation or honor was the guarantee that a deal will come true and settled in good order. Here also did start a division of people with and without honor.

Thank you for listening to my lectures. In this Podcast, I try to explain to you what are the leading issues in these Podcasts. The collective name of these lectures is “the terms of life”. I have collected between 30 and 40 topics which are explained one by one. These terms of life are Universal. There is no North, East, West or South in it. They are the foundation of our humanity and know no color, no race or culture. During my research on different topics, I found that these terms come back everywhere and in the same conditions. A term of life is a word describing a capacity to be human. Each capacity is a personal vision. We use these terms nearly every day. Every term is dealing with life, relationship, and the environment. We have over 7 billion people on this earth and each uses these terms in a personal way. We need to have fundamental guidelines for these terms of life to make our society work. Use them as guidelines to make your life better and more worthy. Each term is a combination of logical thinking, education, development, emotion, growing up and a spiritual mind.

Gratitude, the world rings a bell with every person. What do you feel when you hear the word? Instantly you know the meaning but do you really understand the word and the meaning it has in our life?

The definition of gratitude is a feeling of being thankful and appreciative, Gratitude is the act of feeling and communicating appreciation for the people, circumstances and material possessions in our lives.

The word intuition comes from the Latin verb intueri translated as "consider" or from the late middle English word intuit, "to contemplate". Intuition is based on knowledge. If a person suddenly gets knowledge that is much higher than the personal intelligence or knowledge level it better be called a “vision”. In our brains, we collect all kinds of information randomly. All this information is stored and often we do not categorize it. Our brain stores information in many places and in many ways. In other lectures, I mentioned that our brain is constantly busy. 24 hours a day. There is no stop to it.

How often did you read a letter signed with, sincerely yours? Or how often did you hear that is a sincere person? Both are common in our language. The use of the word sincere is so common that people hardly ever ask for the meaning of it anymore. It has become a word that lost its power in the opposite meaning. Sincerity is drawn in insincerity. To restore the meaning and the value we should first understand the power and quality of the meaning and begin to use it for ourselves.

Every person wishes to be independent but are we? Most of us are not so independent and we hope to be. Let us review the word and its meaning before we continue. Most of the time independence also refers to financial freedom, relationships, emotions and the possibility to travel when and where ever you wish. To have independence is not easy as it brings responsibility and maturity of the mind. The fact is that independence is totally a matter of the mind and not of the body.

Let us start to explain the origin of this word first. Integrity comes from Latin and is meaning complete, intact. It refers to a holistic principle of our total being. A state of who and how we should be. To be of integrity implies that you are who you are and in more easy words; what you see is what you get. A clean and clear personality.

Some people call the instinct the automatic pilots of our mind. To understand it better we should start with a definition first. The definition of instinct is genetically hard-wired behaviors that enhance our ability to cope with vital sudden environmental changes. Other instincts, including denial, revenge, tribal loyalty, greed and our urge to multiply yourself (or easier said, the urge to have sex). It is important to realize that it is uncontrolled by your consciousness.

How often do you have the feeling to give up? Stop doing what you do and let it all go? It is a feeling we all have someday. Life does not come as an easy package. It is a struggle to survive and reach a target, no matter what goals we have. How often did you hear to keep up your mood, never give up or show some guts? There are many people in the world who have no idea what perseverance is or how to develop it. In this short lecture, I give you some important ideas.

We expect a lot in life, from ourselves and of others. Expectations are very important to who we want to be and our vision of others. Expectations are often directly related to the Buddhist ways of thinking about suffering. The Buddha did relate to having expectations of desire and greed. In some ways that are true but in other ways having expectations are neither related to both. Let us have a closer look at what we think of expectations in general. Our first idea is that we expect to live, grow and die. We also expect to be loved, have relationships, get an education, work, grow older, having children and have good and bad moments in our lives.

From childhood on people teach us to trust, to rely on and to follow what is good. Trusting others is a cornerstone of the family, the friendship and society. Our trust is built on experience and education. If you grow up in a trustworthy environment you are able to have a more stable life and love, you are more emphatic and be able to love more sincere and deeper. But what is trust?

How reliable are people? Everybody has its own stories of people who did let them down or betray them. But how many stories did you hear of people who are reliable, who did what they were expected to do, who did keep their word in spite of everything? Yes, most of these people are not mentioned because out there you can find many of them. The unreliable people are still a minority, an exception and not the standard. Goodness is shared by most of us.

We are more emotional than rational in our daily life. Most people have a clouded judgment because of their personal emotions. These emotions are fed by experience, bringing up, prejudice, sexual and other desires, expectations and intelligence. In a try to keep control over our mental processes most of us do effort after effort but often fail to reach that needed control in life. One of the most important factors in Martial arts is a rational mind and a very clear vision on here and now.

Being loyal and having loyal friends is important in our life, especially when we grow older. But we all face the fact that in this world loyalty is decreasing and it lost important value. This lecture is about how loyalty affects our life and being. Loyalty has two ways to work. The first and most important way is the one inside ourselves. Ask yourself; how loyal am I to myself, to my principles, my self-love, and my health? The second question is to ask who am I loyal too and do they deserve it? Both questions are important to the value of your own life.

Internal communication is all processes that you need to function as a person. Let me start with some examples. Most people feel ashamed when standing in the street and talking to themselves. At first, they stop and stand still while thinking about something. Slowly they start talking to themselves, first softly but finally louder and sometimes others can hear what they say. How often do you do this?

We live in a confusing world where honesty is mentioned by all and practiced by some. In general, we can say that honesty becomes unclear. Before we can discover if something or someone is honest, we need to take our time to study the topic, check resources and double-check what has been said. Even the media play a big dark role in this. For now, let us search for what is honesty. Honesty, when we search the dictionaries, can only be described by synonyms and not by a clear statement.

Principles sound so outdated, old fashioned and no longer of this time. But are they? Do we need principles and what are they? It is important to have a clear definition of what principles are. The official definition is ; a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. It sounds important but is not clear this way. Principles seems to be a fundamental truth.

Most people have a major problem in life. They suffer a lack of discipline to accomplish their dreams and goals. To reach something in life we need to have a strong mind and sometimes also a strong body. But to have a strong mind or strong body we need to build it. Only very few people in the world are born strong in mind and body. If you are not one of them this lecture is for you.
Less than 1% of the world population is born with a strong mind and body. 99% must work to get it. You remember the time in school you had to work hard for the examination. Most people did start too late with working out the formula’s or too slow with their reading. It was a lot of work in the last moments. Your marks were lower than expected or you did not pass at all.
