reading the label of the jar

my mind travels back and forth
between future and past
how it will feel when all this is gone
when i am disassociated
from my sense of self

an overwhelming amount of discomfort
as i imagine all of what i know
disappear, along with the spirit
that can be aware of it all

a flip of the coin
reveals an urge to explore
to ease this uncertainty
seeing all the crevices of this earth
to be able to one day
be one with it all
to accept the nature of death

Is there an emotional brain? (arguments against)

The limbic system has been commonly referred to in scientific literature as the emotional brain. But we know now with more information and advanced technologies that the limbic system is an ambiguous concept, it is what LeDoux says is just a “useful anatomical shorthand”. One evidence that challenges this theory is that areas that are considered unique to mammals (therefore termed the “mammalian brain”) is also present in ‘primitive’ creatures such as reptiles and amphibians. For example, a study conducted by Gilles Laurent and colleagues in 2018 using single cell RNA-sequencing technology showed that the neurons of the pallium of reptiles had similar genetic makeup to that of the hippocampus and amygdala of mouse and humans! These areas are what MacLean included in the limbic system theory, yet they are present in these ‘lower’ animals. Moreover, the same study showed that the anterior dorsal cortex of the pallium in reptiles was similar to the human neocortex, which is a layer ...

departure

Maybe its meant to be The passing of time Seems to let us free Makes us more carefree Farewell to a friend Hoping for the best That in some other world This journey won't end But long paved roads Take hours to walk down A dragging trip Complacence is found If we can refresh The origin of our motives Healthy company In each other, we'll notice.

HOW TO FEEL BETTER 落ち込んでる時・ストレスしてるときは

To current me, 今の私へ、 The world is complicated and stressful. Sometimes its too much to handle and it swirls you into depression. It's so hard to find inner peace within a world always pushing you to take quick action. この世の中は複雑である。私は特にストレスしすぐ妄想してしまう性格であるのでいっつもこのストレスで落ち込んでしまいます。この環境の中で、ある意味の「静か」「平和」を保つのが難しい。 Here are some ways I take my mind of this chaotic environment: 私はこの落ち込んだ・混乱してる頭を静かにするために様々な方法を扱っています： 1. TEA or COFFEE 紅茶・珈琲まぁなんの飲み物でもいいんですけど、特に私は紅茶か珈琲になります。科学的に証明されている効果もありますけど、私は紅茶や珈琲を飲むときはじっくり味会うことができるので、すぐ頭がスローダウンします。 Any drink is okay to be honest, but I specifically love coffee and tea (both equally). There does seem to be some apparent scientifically proven benefits to these beverages but overall I like slowing down my brain with really taking in the taste of coffee or tea. So therapeutic 2. MUSIC 音楽これも科学的効果があるといわれています。好きなジャンルや歌手を選び、ベッドの上で目をつぶり聞くのが多いです。特にゆっくりしてる曲は心をゆっくりしてくれますね。今好きなバンドはTAME IMPALA というバンドで、オーストラリアからのサイケデリックのロックバンドです。是非聞いて...
