We are all so unique, yet not at all.


No, we will never be able to completely understand eachother’s thoughts. We are such unique beings, a result of our circumstances and more. Everything we have ever experienced, everything we have ever created has led us to this point.

Becoming stagnant is comfortable. It is safe. But I feel like we are on this earth to learn more and explore unexplored territories. There is so much we do not know. Of the world and of each other. There is so much each of us is capable of, on our own and through cooperation. Each person has so much to contribute to, we are all part of one giant body, contributing our strengths and giving our own insights from our analysis of the world and our circumstances.

Life is so beautiful. There is ofcourse things that make it seem otherwise in the moment. Things that you may view as bad may occur to you in your life. But the beauty within that, is that this response is so flexible. We humans are able to twist our minds and play around with it through our sense of self-awareness. We can completely change and manipulate our response to events, we are able to stand back and look at the broader picture if we just put our headspace in the right frequency. Each individual may be going on our own paths, our own wave. But these waves interweave, some can cancel eachother out, others can amplify those waves. We can create beautiful things, forms of expression, evidence of an attempt to understand. We can share these thoughts in various forms, we can bounce off of each other’s journey like atoms floating through the air, rapidly in waves of change. Such impacts may not always be obvious. It can be a kind word, or a work of graffiti. It can be through an act of service, or through a brief conversation. It can be as little as a question spoken out loud, or as big as political movements. No matter what, we matter so much to this huge web of evolution and no being is more important than the other. We are all a part of it.

Is there an emotional brain? Pt.1(intro)

Is there an emotional brain? As much as we like simplicity in models of science, and the locationist view makes things easier for us to understand, research points to the answer that emotions are not localized to one specific brain region or circuit.  The limbic system hypothesis was put forth by Paul MacLean in the 1950s (although some theories led up to this prior such as the Papez circuit). It divides the more deeply fundamental structures with those that are thought to have developed further on in evolution, in ‘higher’ mammals. The limbic system is one component of the triune brain theory that divides the brain up into the neocortex, mammalian brain and reptilian brain. The reptilian brain is proposed to be in charge of responses for survival such as breathing and heart rate. The reptilian brain is called so due to its structures being found also in reptiles. The limbic system is thought to have developed later in evolution and is commonly thought to be the mammalian bra...

What if everything that we do is just a result of biological processes?

Every thought that we have, every emotion that we feel. In the moment, it might seem like such huge impacts to our lives, when in reality every reaction that we have to anything is a reaction to our specific circumstances, and we react to things the way that we were wired to react (destiny?), reactions that will ensure survival whether that be social, physical or mental. We humans think of our selves as these intelligent beings that are no where near as primitive as other animals or plants. However, taking into account natural selection and evolution, we are simply results of various adaptations over history. The system that we use; businesses, economics, society, education etc, all these concepts at a glance seem to isolate us from other animals making us feel special. However, if we think of ourselves as mere biological beings, these social constructs can appear redundant. All of the things that we create and all the problems we seem to worry about appear small. And every sin...

utopia

heres a thought. what if we were all able to freely explore this life being completely aware of the processes occurring to us. And passively observing things that are not apparently within our control. If we observe life flexibly, knowing the cause and effect of the general idea of things. Everything will lose serious meaning. A fight with your friend. But both of you are aware that this anger stems from irrational self protection or lack of ability to accept an alternative option. This level of self-awareness will allow us to not only forgive ourselves for the things that we experience but be able to consciously alter our responses to things. Our world is so distracted in the surviving part. Just passing by. Just paying the rent. Just finding work. Even things that appear to be free are not. Passion is masked by want to succeed. Authenticity masked by the people we are meant to be. Ambition is thought to be admirable in western culture, why? Selflessness is thought to be ...
