A reverence for the uncertain nature of existence and a reinvigorated appreciation of the mundane — Deep Thoughts In the winter, there’s an abundance of nature trails around where I live, accessible to anyone with either cross country skis, snowshoes or, more of a recent trend, snow bike. We have miles worth of scenic trails, tracing lakes and sprawling over rolling hills, reserved primarily for anyone that has…

Calibrating our parameters and perspectives of control — In Essence: Part I : Control the data before it comes to control you Part II : Paradoxically surrender all control to gain it back Part III - Maintain control via naturally temporal subjectivity “Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, starved, stranded, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life’s quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations…

What do you get when you cross quantum physics, consciousness and a photomultiplier? — They Should Have Sent a Poet No singular title can aptly serve to adequately introduce the content presented below, so consider a few alternatives to preface what you’re about to read: Study Finds Proof of Non-Localized Consciousness Quantifying Meditative Focus [via Light] Demonstrating Mental Entanglement using Photon-Captured Data

On our conscious emergence from the chaos — Emergence There’s a bittersweet irony in all the progress we’ve made towards conceptualizing how our world works, and how we ourselves fit within the enigmatic patchwork of reality. No matter how intensively we specialize our focus, no matter how grandiose our theories become, and no matter how expansive, technological or scientific…

That we continue to navigate this world being even slightly more constructive than destructive is, in itself, a strangely beautiful fact — We’re authors of perspective A derecho [weather event] is a line of intensely chaotic windstorms, termed from the Spanish phrase ‘straight ahead’. Our own nature, in how we navigate through (and out of) the chaos of our world, isn’t unlike the intensive progression of a series of such storms — destructive while eerily enlivening.

On our conscious navigation through past, present and future. — Consider a new way to contextualize our conscious states: via the three tenses of time (past/present/future). By leveraging these three tenses/dimensions of conscious movement against our ability to create change, such a contextualization may prove especially useful for transcending the usual constraints of time — for it’s change itself that…

On why we’ve been counting in the wrong direction — Time’s a dance, not a march What if we were to ground our perspective of time in abundance, not scarcity, and consider its movement as one that doesn’t diminish downwards to zero but, rather, accumulates up from it? A new theory under a familiar context of change turning future to past; unsaddling our own judgements and…

A new theory of consciousness; technological and athletic applications; intensive intent and transcending time. — A Boston University team lead by Andrew Budson, MD and Professor of Neurology, recently published a new theory regarding consciousness, which posits that consciousness itself functions as a memory system more than anything, acting secondary to the unconscious directions of the mind. Per Dr. Budson:
