We become good at what we practice and most of us are experts at practicing distraction. We live in a society that trains us to multi-task and jump from one thing to another in an uncontrolled way. The great panacea for a world plagued by distraction is learning and practicing the art of concentration.
Assaf Levavy from LickN’Riff speaks about music as a tool to process emotions.
An amazingly deep series of twelve lectures by Jordan B. Peterson, that is about, in essence, the meaning of life and the responsibility placed on each individual to make life meaningful.
Stuck in a limbo, where to go?
If going nowhere, then how to know?
Do you hear the Clarion Call, that beckons you to look within?
To that dark place, where you see so much sin.
Dare, my friend, to enter the depths and leave the comfort of the shore.
Even if all that remains is death and dying a thousand times more.
For die to the past we still must, to be born anew.
Into Life, to that which is Free and True.
All that you experience is the journey of your soul.
Love will hold you every step, forever complete and whole.
Mark decodes the spiritual allegory of The Matrix movie trilogy.
By the very definition of the word, respect means to look at something anew/again. Both in the etymological sense (Latin: re – again, spectare – to look at). Also, if we just look at how English works: when we in-spect something, we look into something, so what do we do when we re-spect something? Makes sense, right?
Now, what do children do more actively than anything else? They explore, test and repeat things over and over again, yet with the enthusiasm of doing it for the first time (which means they see the situation with fresh eyes). But more importantly, they adapt and learn through those actions, which means they do not have set in stone ideas and ideologies about things and thus by definition absolutely embody respect.
Could it be that children are reacting to the many absurd and rigid habbits that most of us adults have undoubtedly collected throughout our lives, and so by repeatedly not being able to make sense of it, they “defy” us? In other words: they trying desperately to shake us out of our trances.
If so, I would suggest that they are showing us the utmost respect and if we can respect ourselves enough to see that, we all stand to gain so so much.
So, what would it really cost us to show more respect? Our pride? Having to endure the fear of the unknown? In the grand scheme of things, they are small prices to pay, wouldn’t you say?
An interview on gender, relationships and ideologies surrounding that.
Welcome to our blog! The name of this section is inspired by a project called Tomorrow’s Ancestors Speak, with the idea that those of us alive now are the living ancestors of the generations that come after us; of those already here and those yet to come. What we share here are things that we feel have a potential to inform and empower others to develop responsibility and act to make a positive difference in the world.
