Evolution - Blog Posts

If you're someone's who's been ever told that your art, creativity, work or social status doesn't make sense;

or the fact that you'll never make it anywhere or maybe someone has called you dumb, worthless, a failure let me tell you that it doesn't matter.

Because if you believe in yourself deep down to the core and rely upon the gut feelings, then nothing I repeat, not a single drop from obstacles, blockages, distractions or toxicity can deviate you away from your aspired goal.

Honey, it might seem difficult right now but you're being polished to become a priceless diamond.

Every criticism, critique, those toxic loved ones who could never become your safe space are nothing more than a fleeting experience and precious catalyst who would add up into this bigger picture, regarding which you've no idea.

You're breaking, smashing, crashing, mending, relocating, creating, moving, dwelling on transformation and going towards evolution. You're healing too.

This time might appear as a moment of sensitivity and vulnerability but don't you dare stop at the words of those who never stood or responded when you badly desired for their help.

Go where your authenticity discovers its recognition and acceptance, vice-versa.

Your people will find you and you'll find them too. They'll become your shoulders to lean and you'll catch their tears before they can get wasted. Don't stop, dearie.

Keep walking. Keep moving.

Trust who you're turning into.

Human Brains Are Primally Wired to Notice Animals

Surrounded by technology and urbanity though we may be, the human brain remains profoundly hard-wired to respond to animals.

When people are shown pictures of animals, specific parts of the amygdala — a structure central to pleasure and pain, fear and reward — react almost instantly.

Put another way, glimpsing a bird at the feeder or a shark on Animal Planet, or even a plankitten, could invoke cognitive tricks inherited from ancestors who walked on four legs in shallow water.

The effect is large and consistent, and “may reflect the importance that animals held throughout our evolutionary past,” wrote researchers led by California Institute of Technology neurobiologist Florian Mormann in an Aug. 29 Nature Neuroscience paper.

The researchers had access to a unique group of research subjects: 41 people receiving surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy. Prior to surgery, doctors needed to map their minds, a task performed by inserting electrodes into different parts of their brains, then measuring neuron-by-neuron responses to stimuli.
