What is the self? How do we define all that we are, housed in this body that breathes and loves and is probably distressed on a whole new level because of the pandemic? Many thinkers over the centuries have theorized that humans, by nature, are social creatures and crave meaningful connections with others. As a species and as a vast collection of communities all over this planet in crisis, we stand at a threshold; adapt or die. Now is an essential time to join metaphorical hands, raise silent voices and truly learn what we need to know to thrive and heal. Social media, various platforms from which we can connect with others, have been crucial to making new friends and gathering insight. For some of us, apparently; for others, reports show that screen time may be rotting some brains.
There are countless ways to 'define' the self but over the years we've learned the importance of categories and came up with a few name tags, as it were. This website, our great ambition and adored platform, has been coming together for most of a decade. Life often has a way of challenging our ambitions and most of us weren't exactly encouraged to prioritize our deepest passions. Do you want what you want as much as you think you do? Do you truly want what you think you want, or have you just convinced yourself of that so to be annoying to your parents/teachers/elders? Exactly.
How well can you fight to harness your focus and determination? How long can you keep that up? Maybe we've got something you find helpful...
Please enjoy our weird little library and always feel encouraged to pester us with questions or feedback. Also, until things change, forgive us for our construction phase. Kisses from management
Mind encompasses many facets: our brains firing billions of neurons in sync to carry out fundamental commands such as blinking or breathing, things most of us take for granted. Brain and cognitive health are also topics of interest that we've explored over the years and we aspire to include what we've learned as we're able to sort and verify data.
We also explore the concept that belief is essential to filling your reality with your desires. We have personal experiences with this in our lives, and believe all people have the ability. Many of us struggle to comprehend the separation between mind and brain: the one feeling like a complex organ, the other seeming like an entity wrapped in mysteries.
Sexuality has come a long way since our species' need to focus on reproduction. The threshold we stand upon is exploring sensuality, cosmic communication, emotional transcendence and self discovery. Many people have become more curious about their own sexuality, how it plays into daily life, and how societal norms have impacted our species for generations.
Pleasure is a powerful source of positive health and helps the mind overcome obstacles or shed blockages. When we experience pure pleasure through sexual exploration, we are closer to each other, as well as to ourselves. This is frightening to some, which is why humanity is at such a threshold of healing or destruction.
Body is something we've all got, though mostly we explore humanoids. Our bodies often feel like the most defining element of our overall sense of self, though often that is because our bodies seem to carry all the feelings of pain, fear, or distress. Some say our bodies are temples, others... playgrounds. Whatever your perspective, it's better to feel clean and healthy more than gross or sick. Naturally, we take a variety of vitamins and mineral supplements which we'll post about in waves to share our research and experiences. Some are extremely valuable in ths day and age.
Numerous theories explore possibilities that our bodies are avatars or vehicles through which we explore physical reality. What's true? Is there only one truth? Regardless, it's important to take care of these magnificent machines, and we'll have many new posts during the next several months as we share aforementioned research and I finally get Zeffy to do daily yoga with me. Muah haha
Energy is the essence of life itself, according to several schools of thought. It is so much more than the various sugars and vitamins that fuel us during that 17 hour work shift at the hospital. When we have 'too much' energy, many people feel restless or jittery and on the other side of this, when we have 'too little' energy or feel 'drained' we often feel tired or hungry. However, numerous theories {scientific and otherwise} explore various possibilities that energy is literally the clay that creates everything. What if our bodies are made up of pure energy? What is this coffee I'm drinking now, that helps me feel focused and alert? I'm on the edge of 'crashing' already, because even though the sugar {Agave Nector} and caffeine have been boosting my energy levels...I still got up at 4am.
Science suggests that energy can never be destroyed, only altered. What does this mean for quantum theory or religion? We don't know either! Perhaps you'd like to explore with us and discover what we can find out?
