The gross human mind thinks of death as the final separation of body from mind. A more precise description is that death marks the end of a period of time. We therefore experience a continuous stream of deaths throughout our so-called lives. The death of death is birth; the death of birth is abiding; the death of abiding is the birth of death. Everything we experience is simultaneously a death and a birth; if we are subject to the phenomenon called “time,” we are also subject to death.

HEDONIC V EUDAIMONIC
A
TWO KINDS OF HAPPINESS Philosophers, spiritual teachers, and scientists have identified two forms of well-being: hedonic and eudaimonic. Hedonic well-being, what we often call “happiness,” is transitory and characterized by attaining pleasure and avoiding pain, whereas eudaimonic well-being focuses more on meaning, realizing one’s potential, and contributing to one’s community, and, ultimately, is longer lasting. The debate over which of these two kinds of well-being makes for a truly happy life has raged for centuries. In ancient Greece, the philosopher Aristippus taught that the goal of life is to experience the maximum amount of pleasure, and that happiness is the totality of one’s moments of pleasure, while Aristotle argued that wellbeing is to be found in doing what is truly worth doing. Although these two kinds of happiness are related and often overlap, they can differ sharply and their differences have profound implications for our behavior, relationships, physical health, and our longevity

In terms of its etymology, eudaimonia is an abstract noun derived from the words eû ('good, well') and daímōn ('dispenser, tutelary deity'), the latter referring maybe to a minor deity or a guardian spirit

INCENTIVE SALIENCE
A
A human brain, operating at a greater degree of complexity, tries to figure out the pattern that governs the variable rewards. The brain of a compulsive gambler releases dopamine, a reward chemical, to motivate the gambler to pay attention to the seemingly causal connection between pulling the lever and winning the jackpot. Near misses, such as two cherries but not three, deepen the compulsion to keep playing. The apparent causal connection forms between the motivation to seek reward and the deployment of our attention. This is called incentive salience, and it creates a pattern of activation in the brain that resembles drug addiction, binge eating, and other compulsive habits.

Don’t get me wrong, experiencing the unpleasant physical sensations of your habitual negative rumination is highly uncomfortable. It can be excruciating and make us want to run for the hills, or regress to our old coping mechanisms. It is a monumental task that requires tremendous discipline and support. For those who are negatively affected by systemic oppression on a societal level, the task of liberating the mind from habitual fear can feel all the more like swimming against the current, because powerful and often violent forces of prejudice are mustered against their sense of individual sovereignty.

"One of life's counterintuitive lessons is that you will often gain energy by spending a little bit of energy.
When you feel lethargic and like you want to lay around all day, it is usually the case that getting up and moving will make you feel better than simply sitting around. Getting outside for 10 minutes or doing the first set of a workout or simply stretching on the floor for a moment — anything to get your body moving — will often leave you feeling more energized.
If you want to get your day going, then get your body going. It's harder for the mind to be sluggish when the body is moving."

- The Witness: This is the state where one identifies with the pure awareness that observes all experiences. It is characterized by a sense of Freedom and the predominant feeling tone of Bliss. In this state, there is a detachment from the objects of consciousness, allowing one to experience a profound sense of liberation and joy.

Yeah, that's that that is that is the mystery. There's a lot. This is actually one of the reasons why I stopped studying consciousness very early on, it's because it seemed like one of those insolvable not in solvable, but almost like philosophical questions that could come to any number of conclusions that are essentially not testable or very difficult to test. And there's been a lot of, I guess, progress in the field of consciousness studies over the last 20 years, that now we're, I think we're starting to get somewhere but very early on, I realized that the way that I like to think about these problems and kind of attack them is more of like an engineering point of view that maybe I'm not going to understand how the system works, but they at least move it predictably by doing stuff at it. So drugs, electricity, you know, non ordinary states of consciousness, how can you put these things together in a predictable way to get an outcome, whether that outcome be a particular state of consciousness, dreaming or mental health outcome or a transformational experience? And that is some of the most exciting things that I've seen going on in kind of the mental health revolution that we're, I hope, I think in the midst of right now.

Main character syndrome
Main character syndrome is a new colloquial term that’s used to describe someone who sees themselves as the “main character” or the protagonist, in the performance of life. People with main character syndrome tend to view their lives as a Hollywood movie in which they’re the star.
It’s important to note that, despite the word “syndrome” in its name, main character syndrome is not an actual “syndrome,” disorder, or psychiatric diagnosis. The term originated on social media platforms and is casually used to describe people with these types of narcissistic or self-absorbed tendencies.

Diet plays a role in kidney function decline. “Specifically, diets higher in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol” may be associated with protein leakage into the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage, and, generally, “diets higher in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but lower in meat and sweets, may be protective” against kidney function decline.
A
Not only is protein derived from plant foods accompanied by antioxidants that can fight the free radicals, but plant protein is also less acid-forming in the first place because it tends to have fewer sulfur-containing amino acids. One of the reasons plant foods tend to be less acid-forming than animal foods is because acid is produced by the sulfur in the protein, and there’s less in plant proteins.
A
Plant-based diets have been prescribed for decades for those with chronic kidney failure. They contain no animal fat, no cholesterol, and less acid formation, and help to lower blood pressure. Indeed, if you compare the kidney function of vegans with vegetarians and omnivores, the most plant-based diet was most associated with improved parameters for the prevention of degenerative kidney decline.

In my opinion science should try to find answers to all fundamental questions, do not eliminate from reality what you cannot explain. I therefore decided to dedicate myself full time to the scientific study of conscience, and in 2011 I created Federico and Elvia together with my wife Faggin Foundation, to support basic research on consciousness starting from the premise that it is fundamental and irreducible. The stakes are too high not to seriously consider the hypothesis that consciousness comes before matter, or at the same time to it. The new science of consciousness If we start from consciousness, free will and creativity how irreducible properties of nature, the entire scientific conception of reality is turned upside down, and in this new vision the emotional part of life – ignored by materialism – returns to have a central role. He said Aristotle: “Educating the mind without educating the heart means not educating at all". We cannot let physicalism and reductionism define human nature and the deeper nature of the universe, leaving consciousness out. Physicalist and reductionist premises are perfect for describing the mechanical and symbolic-informative aspects of reality, but they are inadequate to explain its semantic aspects. If we insist on maintaining that these assumptions describe all of reality, we eliminate a priori what we distinguishes itself from machines and we erase ours from the face of the universe conscience, our freedom and, above all, our humanity. If instead we take our inner world seriously and start to investigate it with love, we will discover a new Weltanschauung, which promises a creative and cooperative future full of profound satisfaction. Life cannot be defined only by mere biological aspects, but also and above all by the triumph of the spiritual nature of the universe, which guides us silently. Quantum physics already tells us that the universe is holistic and creative, and i new developments in quantum information theory justify, as we will see later, a new theory of consciousness and free will

From my point of view, the only possible way to explain how the universe can create life and consciousness is that the universe is itself aware and alive from the beginning. If you take it seriously considering this hypothesis, and accepting it, the entire conception of reality is transformed, with enormous positive consequences that point to the future Fantastic. Creativity, ethics, free will and joyful love can come only from conscience. The immense mechanical intelligence outside the reach of the human brain can come, instead, from the machines that we we create. And their union will truly be strength

Not to be confused with phlegm, which is produced in other parts of the respiratory system, snot is a liquid secretion produced in the nose. This nasal mucus is made mostly of water, along with proteins, carbohydrates, salt, and cells. Snot's sticky texture enables it to trap particles of dust, dirt. and bacteria to prevent infection in your airways. Once caught, these particles are expelled by sneezing, blowing your nose, or, more likely ... being eaten! Yup, millions of tiny hairs in your nasal passage push the snot to the back of your throat, where you swallow it, leaving it to your stomach acid to destroy the unwanted visitors.
A
"Fancy a taste? You may have noticed a lot of kids picking their noses and chowing down, but surely it's bad for them, right? Not quite! Researchers have theorized that nasal mucus may contain a sugary taste to entice young people to eat it. In a society devoid of dirt and germs, and increasing allergies and disease, eating boogers may actually be a way for children to expose themselves to pathogens, which may ultimately help build up their immune system. A healthy nose pumps out around half a liter of snot a day. If you have a cold, a virus infects your body and moves into the mucous membranes of your cells and multiplies. Your body responds by inflaming the mucous cells, pumping more blood to your nose and leaking more water through the cells-hence your runny nose. Simultaneously, your body sends white blood cells to attack the virus with potent chemicals or engulf it entirely

The nature of physical reality In the sciences everything is always different from what it would seem according to common sense. BERTOLT BRECHT, Life of Galileo How was the world made? Even today we are grappling with this question, which man has been asking himself since Always. For centuries it was believed that the world was made up of earth, water and air and fire in various proportions. Only in the last hundred years, with the advent of quantum physics, we have made great strides in understanding the nature of reality. We have in fact discovered that matter, which seems solid and compact, is instead made of vibrational energy! In the last twenty years we have understood that everything is done of quantum information. However, a capable theory is still missing give us a vision of the world consistent with both general relativity and quantum mechanics. In this book I advance the hypothesis that the universe is conscious and free always arbitrary. Therefore, nothing is as it seems. Not only is the world not like it we had imagined, but the reality is even more incredible. At the dawn of science Homo sapiens lived a nomadic existence for millennia. Then, approximately ten thousand years ago, with a flash of intuition, he learned to "domesticate" the
