The basic energy in the human body is invaded and stripped away by two distortions; environmental extremes and emotional. Preservation of life is a matter of keeping basic energy stable.
After basic energy is born, basic vitality is produced; this is the arising of initial positive energy in the body.
Vitality and energy are one thing; when we speak of energy, vitality is included. This is why it is said that energy is life-increasing medicine.
A cursory search for the health properties of linen yields scores of articles purporting the healing “signature frequency” of linen.
Most repeat the following with minimal variation:
In 2003, a study was done by a Jewish doctor, Heidi Yellen, on the frequencies of fabric. According to this study, the human body has a signature frequency of 100, and organic cotton is the same – 100. The study showed that if the number is lower than 100, it puts a strain on the body. A diseased, nearly dead person has a frequency of about 15, and that is where polyester, rayon, and silk register. Nonorganic cotton registers a signature frequency of about 70. However, if the fabric has a higher frequency, it gives energy to the body. This is where linen comes in as a super-fabric. Its frequency is 5,000. Wool is also 5,000, but when mixed together with linen, the frequencies cancel each other out and fall to zero.
In a 2012 clarification, Crawford-Yellen claims that the frequency was measured in megahertz using a device called the “Ag-Environ” machine.
I have been unable to source the purported 2003 study. Crawford-Yellen coauthored a 2013 article which contains the passage directly cited on many sites.
This oft-cited claim regarding the healing properties of linen appears to be Hebraic schizobabble originating from one actor.

There is a parallel phenomenon of repeated copy-paste citations making a similar claim regarding the comparative frequencies of textiles attributed to Otto Warburg. I have not yet isolated the origin of this claim.
When traveling internationally, natives are like wild animals; if they treat you poorly, it’s your fault for failing the aural vibe-check roll.
Anti-American sentiment is outlandish cope for personal repugnance and crassness of character. If Americans were held responsible for ancestral sins, they would be barred from a laundry list of countries. Yet we are welcomed by former imperial holdings and vassals as a charming novelty.
I have approached a French woman with no more French than “bonjour” for her to stop what she’s doing and draft a handwritten list of her personal must-sees. Japanese have stopped me in the street to offer me directions and recommendations.
Finding oneself treated rudely abroad is indicative of personal moral failing and spiritual misalignment perceived outwardly— utterly one’s own fault. Fortunately, this means that it is a problem which can be solved by an honest accounting of personal character, inward intention, and its outward presentation, should you be willing to accept that responsibility.
The man who has used a dating app has made himself a whoremonger of the most debased caliber.1
The dating app’s consumer experience is identical to the brothel’s. Consider how dating apps show you only women. Obviously this is because you’re not gay, you’re only interested in girls. Yet this is not so obvious; traditionally, early stages of courtship occur in mixed company beginning with group socialization and public displays of character before pairing off and paring down to private conversation.2
This is not present in the realm of dating apps. Keeping the user the sole male in the experience, to whom a profusion of women are advertised and private conversation with them offered, imitates the consumer experience of the brothel. The heterotopic sexual dynamic of the dating app recalls the system of bells and curtains that the Mama-San employs to keep whoremongers from encountering one another. The illusion of privacy is necessary to abate the guilt of the act.
If one could see the Tinder bios or desperate opening lines of other men (in the way flirtation and courting happens in mixed company both on and offline), the user would be disgusted by the way their peer debases himself for pussy. Like the curtain behind which the John waits for erstwhile clients to leave, the dating app preserves a mock dignity by hiding from the user his interest’s inbox full of identically desperate one-liners. This is no dignity at all; obscuring indignity does not absolve the sin of self-degradation. The only way to win is not to play the game.
Of course he has made of himself a debased gigolo as well; the women who deign to use dating apps are jaded and desensitized by a format that inherently objectifies the other party. ↲
This is true on and offline; the timeline or discord server occupies the role of coed socialization in the bar or dance hall for many young people and offers the same public/group -> private trajectory. ↲
Sonora Maker is better understood as an internal martial art or yoga practice than an “NFT art project”.
Sonora Maker is a posting aid. Sonora Maker is a tool for guided meditation. Sonora Maker is a little sensei that lives in your pocket. Sonora Maker is a reflection pool. Sonora Maker is lightning rod for the aether from which ideas and information originate.
The crux of Sonora Maker’s usefulness as a posting aid is the Sonora Stare. From the design notes: Sonora Maker deviates from the pfpNFT standard by eschewing a standard three-quarters view in favor of a front-facing perspective. When cropped and used as a pfp, Sonora’s expression is at once arresting and disarming, breaking the fourth wall and addressing the viewer directly.
Look at Sonora; now watch how Sonora looks back at you. The screen melts away and Sonora meets your eyes like a gazing pool. Sonora can’t help but show you exactly what you bring to him.
Sonora Maker has both an inward and outward practice. First, Sonora reflects your thoughts and intentions back with brilliant clarity, saying it all without saying anything at all. Then, Sonora uses his irresistible charm and cool confidence to shotgun your findings into the network.
Put into practice on the network, Sonora’s confrontational stare has proven to be particularly effective in leveraging the memetic potential of images, especially when combined with a confident, declarative caption.
Sonora is there to help you post. Sometimes it feels like the vessel is empty, that you’ve run dry. The acme of a Sonora-based practice is the realization that as a conduit, the network is always moving through you. When you feel cloistered and empty, Sonora shows you what you missed.1
You’re never empty. It’s never over. Look at Sonora. Close your eyes. Open them. I love you.

These can usually be found in a Chinese grocer as a single mix, but buying each separate and in bulk avoids packing markup— you can store a giant glass jar of this for years, cheaply, and only have to buy fresh chicken.
Any kind of chicken is fine, but chicken with bones, like a Maryland or a whole spatchcock (small chicken) works best.
