“The only thing I know is that I know nothing. We’ve gathered at the agora several times and discussed our shared regard for divinity, but I hardly know anything about you! Have you always been a midwife? Would you pursue virtue over material wealth? How many siblings do you have? I am ignorant of many things, but I do understand something about…
“I was putting one foot in front of the other, like a machine. I was dragging this emaciated body that was still such a weight. If only I could have shed it! Though I tried to put it out of my mind, I couldn’t help thinking that there were two of us: my body and I. And I hated that…
Impressions matter. It would be nice to think people take our work at face value and appreciate a job well done. Maybe they look at us and see through the beautiful being we all are. But how often does this really happen? How many times talent is skewed in favor of better communication and how many chances are lost because…
Weall feel it from time to time. That little emptiness of energy. The jolt of stumbling in front of a blank page. The electrified tension between you and your thoughts. As if you are afraid of them. You don’t trust them enough inside you and you definitely don’t trust them to be put out in public. Blocks can happen through…
Losing stuff can be devastating. It forces you to re-evaluate and re-calibrate everything in your life out of a new light. We resemble a Windows PC stuck and overloaded, needed to be restarted. It’s only natural for people to experience some extreme emotions out of it. Anger, frustration and denial can be one of the main emotional mechanisms deployed in…
The brain works in frequencies. You may have heard of the various waves that permutate inside it with their distinctive frequency lengths. There are alpha waves when you re relaxed listening to music in an alerted relaxation, beta when more awake doing your daily job and then the even higher divisions of the gamma range. They all denote how different parts of your mind work…
There is a very distinctive characteristic on the adversities we meet every day. They trigger us to look out and compare our situation to others. What happens to our peers is our cornerstone of measurement for where we stand and what happens to us is inflicting a racing contest in fear we are left behind. Our whole lives is built in…
That wasn’t the first time trouble found you. It seems like problems and discomfort are chasing after you all while everybody else has a good time. Bad luck? Pure coincidence? You feel like a magnet pulling all bad scenarios towards you. Things that could go wrong did go downhill. Scenarios marked as edge case did find a way to materialise.…
The lover archetype exists in all of us. It is the energy inside us that finds beauty in every little thing, engages fully with whatever is in front of it, and is not afraid to go all in just for the sake of the experience. Touching things, playing with a cat, smelling a rose or sensing the fur in the…
It wasn’t long ago that I found myself waking up in the middle of the night trembling and shattering. Phobias got through into my life and stress got to be the common constant in my life. My brain stopped experiencing reality the way it was used to and there was a lack of cohesion in my thought patterns. Social encounters…
