We will change and become a positive influence on our world... eventually 

Are we the cancer that will destroy the planet or will we change for the better?

Are humans the problem?

Suppose we lived in a scifi world where everyone is an android and our minds are stored on memory cards:

* When you sleep, you experience a gap in consciousness.

* If a memory card is transferred to a new body, it also experiences a gap in consciousness like sleeping.

* But if a memory card is copied into to a new body without shutting down the old one, that is a clone. Destroying the old body is no different than death. Nobody would want to be cloned and destroyed, or even shut dowm

There is a myth that general-anesthesia does not remove pain, and instead makes you forget it happened. Hearing that when you've had anesthesia, is like realizing youre the clone that survived.

Life enacts reality; we do not merely observe it.

known for her work with SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). It poetically highlights that humans are made of recycled stellar matter. primarily hydrogen and helium from the Big Bang, that has evolved over billions of years to achieve consciousness and self awareness.

Another motivational quote

Bad days fog our mind to believe "this is it", But Good things shift your view to the other, It's funny how our emotions hijack our mind very often. If you get a hold on staying low in negativity and cherishing positivity, do you think we can recieve a state of acceptance to grief and joy?

What do you think?

Valuable piece of advice

Understand.

Can you forgive someone who do bad things to you ?

In a universe with hundreds of billions of galaxies, we exist in just one — the Milky Way.

Within it are billions of stars. Around one ordinary star orbits one of the planets, Earth. On Earth, a continent. In that continent, a country. In that country, a state. In that state, a city. And in that city — us.

Cosmically, we are almost nothing just a speck in a vast, expanding universe 🌌

We are so minute

🥳🥳

I would like to find out what it is like to sensorially perceive my physical self.
Mind is mostly lulled. The core I see is derivative. Derivatives. So small, it's mostly off the radar but if I'm not blinded, only if I were to compare the maxima to the minima while not realising how I planted myself on the chart, dragging, drifting somehow. 

Change doesn't feel momentous. It's not transformative. What even is transformative? Do I correlate transformation with transcendence? Is it my flawed perspective?
Change. I don't think I feel much different from how I felt 5 years ago. Or is it haze? It definitely is, but to what degree?
I don't even think there are stark differences between us. Same person at different times and scenarios. Sounds mundane, but this is me failing to articulate and communicate. 
There might be no grand transformation in me, nothing that is visible, nothing that is out of my capabilities that we're then, but if I truly look into it, I don't recognise. 

I don't know who I am looking at. But simultaneously it is me. It's as if I am distorted or not, but same body, different consciousness, but evolution of consciousness while remnants are present. 

Questionable at times it is. To look at self. Does sentience not paralyze you? We are based on coordination but what a near perfection of nature it is to be able to think. Could almost make one feel ashamed to carry something so precious in the body. It's as if I am possessed and the sentience shames me for the limitations I've put, how I fail when I couldn't have. That there is a better body to achieve stability into. 

Body.

I don't know what I truly feel when I look at myself, or if I am even supposed to.
I don't feel beautiful or ugly or tender or cranky or anything.
I am aware of how others perceive or might perceive me, if they can find my physicality memorable or not, what they project onto me and what they build around what I appear to them.
From melancholic to bitchy. 
From tender to stern. 
From perplexed to assured.
But I don't know what I, on my own, feel about this. 
So many “I” in one paragraph, is that how deep I can seek? My own self? Shallowest.

Right now, I am perceiving what people perceive and what is anatomically true and how it works in the societal market, that's a very clinical 3rd party pov.

I'd like to know what I, on my own, truly feel.

to know what I, on my own.

How does this workkkk

What is it about people who hesitate, build walls and make loving them so challenging that endears them to us caregivers?

Desire to be loved versus unconscious or conscious willingness to be loved

The recent life experience has made me rethink about the world we live in .. we are living in contradiction but want stability in an unstable world ... We are alive but not living .. The reality of world is cruel but we all hope for kindness .. A tiny world is better than the real big one .. we all are connected globally but still hard to find eachother .. 

Just a cute picture of mine with a deep thought ..
Hope one day we all ll try to understand eachother a little more ..
There is no war, it's just lonely us .. 🫂

Life -

Feelings come and go. Butterflies die. Passion fades when life gets messy.if your whole relationship is built on emotions, its gonna collapse the second reality hits.

Love isn't a feeling, it's a decision backed up by action.

If you're on this app, and struggling. Do not despair. Don't sell yourself short. Remember something special deserves something special. We all know special doesn't happen every day. The wait is almost as important as the discovery. If you sell yourself short you'll never be happy. Remember water always finds it's own level.

Being alone is okay.

I saw this photo today and it really spoke to me.

Integrity is not about being perfect. It is about being consistent. It is choosing to stay true to your values even when it would be easier to choose what benefits you in the moment.

Sometimes no one sees the quiet decisions we make, but those small choices shape who we become.

In a world where shortcuts are tempting, choosing values takes courage.

This reminded me that success means nothing if it is not built on honesty and principles.

Choosing values takes courage...

Temperance isn't about being calm. It's about being exact. Knowing what is yours to carry, and what you picked up because you hate disappointing people.

Today tarot card: temperance

What makes you, you? Without all the labels, who are you on the inside? Im searching for an answer myself and would love to hear from others

Sometimes we spend a great deal of our time pondering the reality of who we are, how we came to be and where we are In life so I’d be interested to hear your stories. Fire away!!

What truth about yourself took you the longest to accept?

I’m a sucker for dark music for its raw honesty, emotional confession, and storytelling.
Not everyone can sit with discomfort without needing to escape it and allow it to subside, whether they relate to the emotion or not.

Lights Out

Goodnight boos 🧡

Do you like “Alice in Wonderland” and why? 

3 tarot cards of today:
 the emperor * 3 of wands* 4 of wands

Kindness without honesty is manipulation. Honesty without kindness is brutality.

speak less, act more. results make the noise.

Which God out of the 2000+ religions in the world is the real God? 🤔

Open question 🤔

Self Awareness

I don't feel like a girl because I don't know what it is like to be one.
People assign gender roles, they call it “nature because We evolved to be like that”. Hmm. It's a bit silly to me, to hear “men are territorial, they're logical, women are emotional”.
Even when I see my contemporaries growing up, retrospecting their teenage years and accounting how they embrace “femininity” now, as they disliked being “feminine” in the past, they wanted to be a tomboy.

What stings my ears here is the idea of femininity and masculinity.
For the first statement, I've always thought, is it not restrictive to the nature of consciousness? To think that such highly evolved creatures like humans would only work on instinct and what their hormones require them to?
If hunting and gathering is all nature and what we evolve for, if the baseline is purely instinctive and primitive, why do we think? Why do we do ineffective and mundane things like art? Why exist the cave paintings? Why do we have societies? 
Why are we, or even many lower organisms not purely primitive? 
I don't have all the answers, but I have a question or an observation, and. 
We have a brain. It's too complex. Yes, dimorphism exists, yes there is an endocrinal influence, yes there are primitive instincts but there is also consciousness. A thought. And it's natural for us to surpass this baseline. 

The Tomboy thing, it stings me, as I said. Because the implication becomes that previously they were trying to be a “man”.
Are tomboy characteristics “manly”? I don't think so.
I understand what they're trying to say: the “traditional or perceived femininity is so looked down upon that they wanted to be what is expected for a superior gender to be, a man, logical, rational, less emotional, assertive, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, but now they embrace the traditional femininity.”

Nothing wrong with that. What irks me a bit is, probably because I'm being not picky, is the implication that being a tomboy means wanting to embody “masculine characteristics" , but these characteristics aren't masculine.
Or at least, in my perspective they aren't.

As I said, we are above baseline. Even if it still influences us, we are still more conscious.
Anyone can be logical, rational, emotionally expressive, empathetic, intuitive, etcetera.
It's more human than masculine or feminine.


If a man dances, dance is masculine.
If a woman dances, dance is feminine.
If a man picks STEM subjects and goes on to build a career in them, it's his preference.
Same with the woman.
If a man is emotionally expressive, it's masculine because it's exhibited by a man.
If a woman is emotionally expressive, it's feminine because it's exhibited by a woman.


I think our perception is shaped because of necessity. There is resemblance of certain characteristics with the result of our primitive self.
People require these because they don't want systems to collapse. Constructs are heuristics but they've hardened into roles and expectations.
I don't think simplification is that bad but it eats nuance, and when other categories can be exploited, so people are tied in ideological shackles, it takes generations.


What I believe, and it's subjective, is that it's more human. Again, someone would come at me, screaming “testosterone, estrogen and evolution”, I never denied that they don't work, but again, I've been clear about consciousness and structures.

Idk if this is the right place to post this but idk where else to.
