unfinished: still fearing death

some thoughts
what ive been holding on to this whole time
this image of my life
this perfect world
my perfect life
and sense of self
will all disappear eventually

this world that ive been hoping for myself
this world that ive created in my head
will disappear with the dawn of time

and eventually, all will turn to white
or whatever color my energy prefers

every pleasure, every pain
will no longerer be attached to this body
only the energy that was transformed
during this life
will gravitate to new places or dimensions

how much i fear death
the burden it carries around me
just shows im not ready yet
to see the break of new life

i want to get to a place
where im comfortable with the idea of no self
live fully the way my true energy desires
not distracted by time consuming things
focusing on what serves me and others
that helps this universe transform
that helps me get an inch closer
to being okay with 'the end'

right now it all seems unimagineable
ive rarely felt enough of what i need to
ive rarely soaked all of it in
to feel that passion

it is not the work that you do
but the journeys and paths you take
the overall contribution
but also the everyday feeling

no longer letting that fear drive me to
hopeless
there's things i can do to be at ease
to help me understand
to motivate me to live with all that i can

these material things really don't matter to me
anymore
this sense of self
this image of a perfect me
that i carry
will all be gone if i do not execute anything
that is what drives me
to move with my own current, my own energy
rather than living in reference to others
and what they expect from me

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 ...
