Clove water, made by steeping whole or ground cloves in hot water and then straining them, offers several potential health benefits. These benefits are primarily due to a compound called eugenol, which is the main active ingredient in cloves. Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits, along with important safety considerations. Potential Health Benefits1. Rich in AntioxidantsCloves are packed with antioxidants, including eugenol. These compounds help fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage your cells and contribute to chronic diseases like heart disease and certain cancers. 2. May Aid DigestionClove water is a traditional remedy for various digestive issues. Reduces Gas and Bloating: It can help stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, which may reduce gas, bloating, and indigestion. Soothes Nausea: Sipping on clove water may help alleviate feelings of nausea. 3. Oral Health SupportThanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, clove water can be a great addition to your oral hygiene routine. Fights Bad Breath: The antimicrobial properties help kill bacteria that cause bad breath. Reduces Gum Inflammation: It can soothe sore or bleeding gums. (Note: It is not a substitute for professional dental care). May Ease Toothache: While clove oil is more potent for this purpose, clove water can provide mild, temporary relief for tooth pain. 4. Blood Sugar RegulationSome studies suggest that eugenol and other compounds in cloves may help improve insulin function and lower blood sugar. Drinking clove water could be a supportive practice for managing blood sugar levels, but it is crucial to consult with a doctor first, especially if you are on diabetes medication. 5. Supports Liver HealthThe antioxidants in cloves, particularly eugenol, have been shown in studies to have a protective effect on the liver, potentially helping to reduce oxidative stress and improve liver function. 6. May Help Regulate Blood PressureSome research indicates that the compounds in cloves may help relax blood vessels, which can contribute to lower blood pressure. 7. Immune System SupportCloves have antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, which means clove water could potentially help your body fight off minor infections and support your overall immune system. How to Make Clove WaterMaking clove water is very simple: Crush 1-2 teaspoons of whole cloves (or use 1-2 teaspoons of ground cloves) to release their beneficial oils. Bring 1-2 cups of water to a boil. Pour the hot water over the crushed cloves. Cover and let it steep for 10-20 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger it will be. Strain the liquid to remove the clove pieces. You can drink it warm or chilled. You may also add a slice of lemon or a small amount of honey for taste. Important Precautions and Side EffectsWhile clove water is generally safe for most people when consumed in moderation, it's important to be aware of the risks: Blood Thinning: Eugenol can slow blood clotting. If you have a bleeding disorder or are about to have surgery, avoid consuming large amounts of clove water. It can also interact with blood-thinning medications like warfarin. Low Blood Sugar: If you are on medication for diabetes, drinking clove water could potentially lower your blood sugar too much. Monitor your levels carefully. Allergic Reactions: Some people may be allergic to cloves. Discontinue use if you experience itching, rash, or difficulty breathing. Children and Infants: Clove water should not be given to infants or young children, as it can be too strong and carries a risk of adverse effects. Not a Substitute for Medical Treatment: Clove water is a complementary health practice and should not replace any prescribed medications or professional medical advice.

  As one goes through life, one learns that if you don't paddle your own canoe, you don't move. If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. If you need a helping hand, you can find one at the end of your arm. Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything. If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased. You are the only person you can actually change. It's not what you start in life, it's what you finish. Loved people are loving people. You can’t change the music of your soul. Never complain. Never explain. If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married. Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh. Life is hard. After all, it kills you. I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.

  Stop developing skills until you identify your natural talent. Everybody has a God-given gift or talent.Often, it is hard to see your own talents because they feel completely normal to you. You notice the effort others put in, but you don't notice your own. As the saying goes: I can make you look, but I can’t make you see.Other people are often the ones who discover your talents for you.Seeing is a choice. A Story About Barbra StreisandBarbra Streisand originally wanted to become an actor.But when her boyfriend heard her singing, he was shocked—he had never heard such a beautiful voice before.He told her, "You have to become a singer." Would you agree? Talent vs. SkillIf you invest 10,000 hours in your talent, your talent will manifest.But first, you need to discover it—and then work hard to develop it.Without deliberate practice and excellence, no talent is truly accessible. Talent is domain-dependent.A domain is an area of control, knowledge, interest, or activity.Talent only reveals itself when the environment activates it. A person can go through their entire life without ever discovering their talent.Imagine a gifted mathematician, musician, or strategist who never encounters situations that allow them to discover or develop their abilities. The Hardware and Software AnalogyYou can’t develop a talent—you are born with it.A skill is what you do with the hardware.Talent is the hardware itself.Skill is the software. Parents should pay close attention to the natural talents of their children. A Different Way of Perceiving RealityTalent is a different way of perceiving reality. For example, I am dyslexic. My brain is structured differently—the language center is located on a different hemisphere. At night, I get lost easily because it’s very difficult for me to match nighttime lighting with the mental map I formed during daylight (a common trait among dyslexics). But for every disadvantage, there is an advantage.For dyslexics, that advantage is often outstanding creativity. How to Find Your God-Given TalentEnter many domains—explore different areas of knowledge, interests, and activities. Pay attention to what comes easier to you than to others. Listen to external feedback—what do people consistently compliment you on? Pay attention to what you are obsessive about—what grabs your focus without effort? Talent is not something you manufacture.It is what reality reveals when you place yourself in the right domain.Move through many areas in life, and let something reveal your talents to you.

  I recently listened to a polished speech from the new Pope. And I asked myself:Is he really connected – to his heart, to God – when he speaks? Honestly? I don't think so.So I can't believe what he says. The Problem with Polished WordsThere's an old sales saying: "Emotions sell, and data tells." When you sing, speak, or sell – you want to make an impact.And if your words come from real emotion, you connect with people. But a polished speech?Nobody is interested – not even God. C.S. Lewis on PrayerAfter the Pope's speech, I was drawn to a video by C.S. Lewis – "How to Talk to God the Right Way." His message cut through: God is not impressed by polished speeches or prayers. He rather ignores them. If you pray out of need, or let your words flow from humility – God hears you. But polished words?They are born from arrogance or pride. Both the Bible and the Quran warn: "God does not like the proud.""Pride comes before the fall." Why I Can't Repeat PrayersHonestly?I never repeat prayers – because they feel useless to me. I need to connect with God.Without that connection, I feel devastated. And then these religions come along, offering a formula to pray "the right way."They are so proud of their stupid prayers – but they never work for most people. How I Actually PrayI speak to God as my friend and helper. I want to make God happy – with the things I do, or simply with how I live. My work is my prayer.Do your best – because you do it for God.Do everything to please Him. That should be our goal. The Heart of Prayer – C.S. Lewis's Definition"Our heart should be in our prayer. Without praying out of our heart, the prayer is useless." Prayer is not to impress God.It is to reveal yourself to Him. Crafted prayers don't work.But when we pour our heart out to God – raw, real, vulnerable – He responds. Jesus in the GardenThink of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. He didn't recite a polished prayer.He trembled. He sweated drops of blood.His prayer was so raw, so vulnerable – it still echoes today. How to Talk to God – A Simple GuideBased on C.S. Lewis's teaching, here's how to communicate with God: Instead of...                                 Do this...Polished, memorized prayers        Speak from your heart – your real feelingsTrying to impress God     Be humble and honest about your needRepeating formulas     Pour out your worries, fears, and desiresPraying to look good     Reveal yourself – the good, bad, and uglyUsing fancy religious language     Speak like you're talking to a close friend Final ThoughtGod doesn't want your eloquence.He wants you – your heart, your struggle, your honesty. As Jesus showed us, real prayer is sometimes trembling, sweating, and crying out in the dark. That's the kind of prayer that never dies.

  The Problem: We Suppress, Not Feel We are programmed to make feelings go away instead of feeling them.We look for distraction—easy to find today—and suppress our emotions. We think our emotions are our enemy.We like to be together with happy people, with no drama. And so we consume a lot of drugs, or we become addicted to social media and our mobile phones. Look at today's health reports: 60% of children are chronically ill. 10% are autistic. Suicide rates are at an all-time high. Depression has never been at such a high level. Wars are raging like crazy.The suicide rate of U.S. Army servicemen is five times higher than the death rate on the battlefield. Isn't this evidence enough to question a society that supports the suppression of emotions? How Does It Start?We send our five-year-old child to kindergarten. It comes back depressed. We politely ask what happened, and then we say:"Don't see it that way. Don't be emotionally affected. Don't go into your emotions. You see it absolutely wrong." The message is clear: Suppress your emotions. Instead, we should let the child cry or express its emotions fully.Just be there. Comfort it until it finds calmness by itself. You think that will never happen?It will happen—it just needs time.And please, don't scroll on your mobile phone while doing it. A Personal Story: IndiaWe decided to go to India. Our journey was very challenging—so many things went wrong.She wanted to go home. I said: "Go. I will continue." But she stayed.She could express all of her emotions, her doubts, her anxiety. She got severely sick twice. Can you imagine? We went from 45°C heat to freezing snowstorms at 5,400 meters altitude in Ladakh, and then back to 45°C in Delhi and Varanasi. She couldn't eat the Indian food. She had never experienced freezing temperatures as a Thai person. There was no heating. The internet didn't work. Shocking or not?For me, it wasn't—because I'm used to it. At the end of the trip, she asked me: "Where should we go next time?" I said: "Africa." She said: "OK." Why?Because she could express all her emotions and never got abandoned or punished. That is what a true relationship looks like. What Happens When We Suppress Negative Feelings?Suppressed negative emotions will: Make us sick. Influence our decisions negatively. Increase our fear level significantly. Make us addicted to consumption, shopping, distraction, social media, drugs, etc. Isolate us—because we can't express our emotions, we can't build true relationships. Suppress our positive emotions as well. Reduce our vulnerability, sensitivity, and love. Suppress our spontaneity and creativity. Close our heart. Cause choleric reactions—sudden outbursts of anger over minor problems, punishing innocent people. Lead to projections—blaming others for our own wrongdoing. Turn us into robots. The Beauty of Expressing EmotionsWatch a three-year-old child.They don't suppress their emotions.They change their mood within five minutes.When they are happy, they beam with joy.When they are sad, they cry. That is the beauty of expressing emotions. The Solution: MindfulnessMindfulness is not about stopping your thoughts and feelings.It is about learning to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment or attachment. What Is True Adulthood?True adulthood is mindfulness—accepting our own thoughts and emotions, and accepting all emotions from other people without resenting them. How to Learn This?Attend encounter groups and bioenergetic groups—until you learn to express your emotions fully and accept the emotions of other people. Just do it.

  The Chinese government is controlling his citizen and that wants our governments to do also.. The Chinese have face detection cameras installed at public places and are so checking what their people are doing.. For instance,  they want that you visit your parents  regularly… And if you don’t do so you can’t use the public transportation anymore or go on vacation… Today our government wants that we pay with our mobile phone and not with cash anymore… They argue you can’t pay for tax less service anymore.. But what is if you can’t pay with cash anymore… They can control where you can spend your money… Even worse they want to introduce to stable coins,… that are Cryptos with an equal value of their currencies…. We have already stable coins for US dollar, Euro… 1… The government can so create money endless with stable coins… And they can program our stable coins how to spend it… If they don’t want you buying petrol for your car… they program your stable coins to exclude petrol… Or, in Europe, it is legal to limit your spending through the government, if you have posted good things about Putin… Is this Democracy?   In the USA, every new car has a stop switch build inside the engine, so that the government can stop your engine, so that you can’t use your car anymore….  They say, if you drive too dangerous we can prevent that with that switch…  Now, they have created a new identification system with an eye(or iris)- foot-print or another identification system so that they can track you and control you.. In Thailand, they use already an identification system on the border, so you don’t have to show your passport anymore when you are registered…. For sure, I am not registered, but I can get wire taped, because I worked in High-Tech-industry. If you give one time your permission you get wire-taped your entire life….  We get already controlled from Google and Facebook to sell us their garbage… But what is if they give all of their information to the government? For instance you sleep with your neighbor’s wife…  Next day you can’t use your car and your account is locked… So,they do in China already. But what is, if you post something negative about our corrupt, lying, kid rapist, president (you know who I mean?), Israel  … or the people in the Epstein regime, they do the same thing.

  The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls. Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear. There is no beauty without some strangeness. I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. The believer is happy. The doubter is wise. Those who gossip with you will gossip about you. Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute. I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind. Never to suffer would have been never to have been blessed. If a man deceives me once, shame on him; if he deceives me twice, shame on me. If a poem hasn't ripped apart your soul; you haven't experienced poetry. All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire. A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on. A wise man hears one word and understands two. To die laughing must be the most glorious of all glorious deaths! The past is a pebble in my shoe. My Video:  Edgar Allan Poe Quotes https://youtu.be/lWV-EQS3BggMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Edgar-Allan-Poe-Quotes.mp3

  I had already tried putting castor oil on my navel – and it was good. But then I discovered something far more powerful: Applying castor oil to the entire abdomen – the area between your chest and pelvis, where there are no ribs or bones. That changes everything. Why the Abdomen?During the night, your body enters its natural redemption cycle – a time of deep cleaning, repair, and rejuvenation. Castor oil applied to the abdomen amplifies this process in ways that surprised even me. What It Does for Your GutCastor oil mobilizes your colon and gut through peristaltic waves – the natural contractions that move waste through your system. It breaks down the fermented biofilm coating on your intestinal walls. That sticky, stinky film?It gets dissolved and eliminated. And in the morning?You see the difference. My Personal Experience – 14 DaysI've been doing this for 14 days – and the results are astonishing. The First Few DaysWhen I went to the toilet in the morning, it looked much worse at first. Lots of gas. Soft poop, shattered in small pieces. But I let it work. After 3 DaysMy stomach started flattening. Digestion improved visibly. After 14 DaysMy poop became perfect – a clear sign of a healthy gut. Additional Benefits – Beyond the GutThis simple nightly practice delivers a cascade of benefits: Benefit How It Works Flatter stomach Reduced bloating and gut inflammation Lymphatic flush 60% more lymphocytes – immune boost Deeper sleep Calms the nervous system Reduced inflammation Systemic anti-inflammatory effect Natural Botox Improved skin elasticity and tone Clearer mind A clean colon = a clean mind Why This WorksYour gut is called your "second brain" for a reason. When your colon is clean: Toxins are eliminated Inflammation drops Sleep improves Skin glows Mental clarity sharpens Castor oil applied externally to the abdomen supports this internal cleansing process – gently, naturally, and effectively. How to Do It – Simple ProtocolTake a small amount of high-quality, cold-pressed castor oil. Apply generously to your entire abdomen (from below the chest to above the pelvis). Massage gently in clockwise circles for 2–3 minutes. Cover with an old cloth or wear an old T-shirt (oil can stain). Sleep through the night – and let your body do its work. Morning AfterWhen you wake up: Notice your toilet routine – it will improve over time Observe your stomach – flatter and less bloated Feel your energy – clearer and lighter Final Thought"A clean colon is a clean mind." This ancient remedy is one of the simplest, most effective things you can do for your gut, your sleep, your skin – and your overall well-being. Try it for at least 14 days. So longer so better…  The results will speak for themselves.

  Prof. Andrew Huberman explains that addiction and trauma lock the brain into a dysregulated reward-stress cycle.   - The prefrontal cortex (responsible for self-control) becomes weakened by chronic substance use or trauma-induced hyperarousal.   - The limbic system (craving, fear, grief) becomes overactive.  Telling someone with severe addiction or grief to “just use willpower” is like asking someone with a broken leg to “just walk.” The neural hardware is compromised.  What a “higher power” actually does (scientifically) When people hand over control to God, the universe, or an Anonymous-Alcoholic-style higher power, several measurable things happen: 1. Reduction in cognitive load     Constantly fighting urges or intrusive grief thoughts exhausts mental resources. Belief in a higher power allows the brain to offload the monitoring and control to an external entity, freeing up prefrontal capacity. 2. Activation of parasympathetic (calming) systems    Prayer, meditation, or surrender triggers the vagus nerve, lowering cortisol and heart rate. This is measurable via heart rate variability (HRV). 3. Increased social and group effect     In an Anonymous Alcoholic (AA) or group therapy, the “higher power” is often channeled through the group’s shared belief. Mimicry, ritual, and accountability activate the brain’s social reward system (oxytocin, endogenous opioids), replacing the addictive substance’s effect. 4. Meaning-making and narrative reconstruction      After immense loss (e.g., a child’s death), the brain’s default mode network generates rumination and despair. A higher power reframes the loss as part of a larger story—reducing the “shattered assumptions” effect that causes prolonged grief disorder. The  two-path framing  Path 1: Trauma-release therapy (Humaniversity’s 14-day intensive, EMDR, somatic experiencing)   Works when the addiction is primarily driven by unprocessed trauma. Success rate can be high (80–90% in that specific model) because it “resets the emotional charge” behind the craving. Path 2: Spiritual surrender (AA, religious faith, higher power)    Works especially when:Trauma therapy alone didn’t stick, orThe loss is so profound that no “technique” can touch it (e.g., losing a child), orThe person has failed repeatedly at self-control. Science cannot “prove” God, but it can prove that “the act of believing and surrendering” changes brain function in ways that enable recovery.  Practical steps for someone facing addiction or immense loss For addiction (alcohol, drugs): 1. Try intensive trauma-release therapy first (14–30 days, group-based, 24/7 support if possible).  2. If that fails or is unavailable, go to AA/12-step.  3. In AA: pick a “higher power” you can accept (it does not need to be a deity—could be nature, the group itself, love, or simply “reality”).  4. When urge hits: pause, say aloud “I cannot do this alone,” and ask that higher power for 10 minutes of relief. That pause often resets the craving circuit. For immense loss (e.g., child’s death):- Talk therapy alone often cannot touch this level of grief—it’s not pathological, it’s existential.   - Surrender practice: “I will never make sense of this. I cannot carry this alone. I give this weight to [God/life/the universe].”  - Ritualize it: light a candle each morning, and mentally place the child’s memory and your pain into the higher power’s hands.  - Over weeks, brain activity shifts from hypervigilant grief (amygdala) to reflective remembrance (prefrontal-hippocampal integration).  Scientific bottom line Yes, a higher power works as a neurocognitive leverage point—not because the higher power is empirically verified, but because the *act of surrender* bypasses the exhausted willpower system and recruits brain circuits of trust, safety, and social connection. If you or someone you know is struggling, combining both paths (trauma therapy + spiritual surrender) is often optimal, so I did. And if you cannot believe in any higher power, you can still use a “higher purpose” (e.g., serving others, protecting a loved one, creating art) to achieve the same neural offloading effect.

  Everybody wants to beloved and wants look good … Or that all people think good about you…  Today, that is the worst trap..How many likes I got on Facebook, Instagram, Tick Tock… So you become a slave of the society. Instead to do what is right for you…  When I was growing up in a catholic society as an atheist… I got bullied everywhere, nobody loved me, even my own family because I could not be differently than to be honest. The Catholic Christians liked to punish my siblings and me, to beat us, to abuse us… This they call love for one's neighbor. And then the protestants moved in our area and we had open streets fights… because I was the best fighter, they hired me… When I was a student, we founded the alternative list and we got bullied like crazy because the leading party (communists) were afraid… Everywhere were posters with our photos don’t vote for them…And this was for me the hell because I am an introvert.Guess, their anti-propaganda helped us to win the election… Any promotion is good promotion. Later I became a Sannyasin or devotee of Bhagwan… I was used to get bullied… But one thing was clear I never compromised …  If you want to fit in, you betray yourselves and for me you are a lousy coward…  Sure in every group, I did it my way…Later, I became a favorite and a role model for many people… Even I didn’t want that… They admired me and this was for me something that I never wanted and never experienced … I was so used to get bullied… I didn’t want to be in the spotlight… Literally I was and you would be jealous, if I would go in details… That can happen, if you want just to be yourselves. Be authentic  You have to find the group that fits you instead to fit in… The mass is always wrong… Earl NightingaleIf there are two groups, a big group and a very small group going in opposite directions, and we always chose to follow the small group in our life, we will make rather no mistake in our whole life.... Watch what everyone else does do the opposite the majority is always wrong. The same is telling you the most successful people… Why have a small minority most of all the money? All successful people got bullied like crazy. For instance their friends became their enemies out of jealousy … If you can’t stand for you who else should do that?
