The Ancient Pillars of the Earth: Mountains
The majestic rocks, the house of many gods, and the highest point a human can ascend to. Mountains always amazed me with their immovable presence. As I learned more about them, I’ve come to realize that our ancestors were also amazed, more than amazed they even worshipped mountains. Why? Mountains may be remarkable but were they remarkable enough to worship or place gods on them? https://open.spotify.com/track/3AAwJ043uT1wXSKDtGyuxF?si=c56ebcc26ecb44e2 This song will enhance your journey in t...

Fear and Meditation
People try every possible way to get rid of their haunting thoughts. They buy useless stuff, do things that do not really excite them, and attend unrelated events. They do everything but one: Facing the thoughts to get to understand them. There is a perfect saying about our fears which I keep reminding every time I feel afraid of something new (which happens surprisingly often because I chase the things that might come up as a challenge to me). It goes like “I just let fear seize me for a mom...

Returning to the Origins: Accepting the Tastes We Originally Had as a Kid
As a teenager, everything we used to love starts to seem something to be ashamed of day by day. We first get rid of the toys we used to play with, because “the cool people” do not live in an imaginary world but in a real one. Then we give up on the games we play, then comes the clothes, the colors we used to enjoy, the music we listened to with great amusement, and eventually the feelings we once were able to display without being ashamed. Adolescence might be one of the cruelest eras every p...

Who Has the Trigger? About Consciousness Being the Cancer of Living Beings and the Cosmos
Living beings; plants, animals, fungi, protista, and monera, are in a kind of harmony. Likewise, the cosmos — planets, moons, stars, asteroids, quasars, and all others — is also in harmony in its own way. So do our bodies. Cells, blood flow, homeostasis, energy storage, inner and outer stimuli are all interconnected parts of it. The cancer, however, causes a body to function a little differently. Cancer wants to be fed excessively, to use every source the body has like proteins or calories. G...

Liberating Our Decision Making Process from Biases
Every animal on Earth has two main concepts that help with deciding faster: biases and heuristics. In a universe full of uncertainty and odds that are not favoring your life, animals have developed biases and heuristics to increase their possibility of staying alive. Even though those two concepts enable us to make faster decisions, in a world with unlimited sources of information, it is no longer beneficial for people to rely on them solely. That being mentioned, we will be looking for what ...
