Quantum theory is perhaps the most successful scientific idea ever. So far, it has never been proved wrong. It is stupendously predictive, it has clarified the structure of the periodic table, the functioning of the sun, the colour of the sky, the nature of chemical bonds, the formation of galaxies and much more. The technologies we have been able to build as a result range from computers to lasers to medical instruments.

Quantum Theory: “Here, I Solved Your Problem.”

Yet, a century after quantum theory’s birth, something remains deeply puzzling it. Unlike its illustrious predecessor, Newton’s classical mechanics, it does not tell us how physical systems behave. Instead, it confines itself to predicting the probability that a physical system will affect us in one way or another. When an electron is fired from one side of a wall with two holes, for instance, quantum theory tells us where it will end up on the other side, stubbornly saying nothing plausible about which hole it has gone through.

Also, Quantum Theory: “Never Mind How I Solved It.” 

Quantum theory treats any physical system as a black box: if you do this to it now, it will react like that later. What happens in between? The theory simply doesn’t tell us.Many scientists are content with this, but others are puzzled. Among the latter, some make hypotheses: they propose complicated stories about parts of nature that are hidden from us for ever, or multiple universes that underpin the part of reality we do see. Others resign themselves to the notion that science is not about what things “really are”: it is only about what we are able to directly observe.

Giving A Black Box To A Species That Likes To Box Things Itselt

Another idea has recently begun to catch on. Perhaps there is no need to make anything up about what lies behind quantum theory. Perhaps it really does reveal to us the deep structure of reality, where a property is no more than something that affects something else. Perhaps this is precisely what “properties” are: the effects of interactions. A good scientific theory, then, should not be about how things “are”, or what they “do”: it should be about how they affect one another.

“I Am, Because I Affect.”

The idea that reality is a sum of relations instead of objects, entities or substances is still radical, although the possibility that this could be what quantum physics is telling us about nature was first suggested a quarter of a century ago. For a while it remained largely unnoticed, then major philosophers picked it up and began to discuss it. Nowadays interest in the idea, called the Relational Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, is steadily growing. It is a possible solution to the puzzle of quantum theory: what quantum phenomena are is evidence that all properties are relational.

“I Am, Because I Relate To.”

There is a strikingly similar definition of existence at the root of the western philosophical tradition. Plato’s The Sophist contains the following phrase: “Anything which possesses any sort of power to affect another, or to be affected by another, if only for a single moment, however trifling the cause and however slight the effect, has real existence; and I hold that the definition of being is simply power (δύναμις)”.

For Anything To Exist, It Must Have An Effect

And in the eastern tradition, the Buddhist philosopher Nāgārjuna’s central notion of “emptiness” (śūnyatā) tells us that all things are empty of intrinsic existence and nature (svabhava), or, in other words, that nothing has independent existence: anything that exists, exists thanks to, as a function of, or according to the perspective of, something else.

For Anything To Exist, It Must Make Some Difference To Something

Maybe this is not such a radical idea after all. We all know that a chemical substance is defined by how it reacts, a biological species is defined according to the niche it occupies in the biosphere, and what defines us as human beings is our relationships. Think of a simple object such as a blue teacup. Its being blue is not a property of the cup alone: colours happen in our brain as a result of the structure of the receptors in the retina of our eyes and as a consequence of the interactions between daylight and the cup’s surface.

A Blue Teacup Is Blue Because_

Its being “a teacup” refers to its potential function as a drinking vessel: for an alien who doesn’t know about drinking tea, the very notion of a teacup is meaningless. What is more, its stability as an object depends on the timescale in which we consider it: take a longer view and it is just a fleeting aggregation of atoms. And are these atoms themselves independent elements of reality? No they are not, as quantum theory shows: they are defined by their physical interactions with the rest of the world.

A Teacup Is A Teacup Because_

So quantum physics may just be the realisation that this ubiquitous relational structure of reality continues all the way down to the elementary physical level. Reality is not a collection of things, it’s a network of processes.

Reality Is A Network Of Processes

If this is correct, it comes with a lesson. We understand reality better if we think of it in terms of interactions, not individuals. We, as individuals, exist thanks to the interactions we are involved in. This is why, in classic game theory, the winners in the long run are those who collaborate. Too often we foolishly measure success in terms of a single actor’s fortunes. This is both short-sighted and irrational. It misunderstands the true nature of reality, and is ultimately self-defeating.

Reality Is The Sum Of Relationships

From subatomic particles to human beings, interaction is what shapes reality.

Why Relationships Are The Key To Existence

"The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts."

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."

“You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength.”

Manage carefully what enters to your mind, who you spend your time with, what comes out of your mouth, what type of content you watch, what kind of activities you do.

Take care of your mind

I shall meet today ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable people. All of these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill... I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man will involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him.It is my duty to keep my own faculties in a state of tranquility.

Say to yourself in the early morning

• The things you can control: Opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and in a word, whatever are our own actions.• The things you cannot control: Body, property, reputation, command, and in one word, whatever are not our own actions.

Learn to differentiate between:

Stoicism is not about being arrogant; it is not about telling everyone that you are better than them, it is not about comparing yourself to others with the goal of feeling better than them, making them less.Stoicism is about being humble; it is about comparing yourself to others making use of admiration, with the only goal of honing our virtues of character. It is about being kind and making use of compassion to learn from others. But in order to achieve that, we must possess a strong and firm self-esteem.

Arrogance, envy & admiration

There is no point in being angry at people that do not know any better. There is no point in being angry at nature; it is what it is. Being resentful about the things that are beyond our control is pointless.Instead, what we can do is accepting the things we cannot change and keep our own faculties in a state of tranquility.

Rancor is not the way

Blaming others is senseless; we must take responsibility and control of our mental state.No one makes us feel anything, we decide how we feel; no one can hurt us, we decide to feel hurt or not.The only person responsible for our feelings is oneself.

We are responsible for our feelings

Use daily stuff to strengthen your mind, see every aversion as a challenge, as an opportunity to rise and make your mind stronger.

Strengthen your mind

Avoiding things that trigger you, taking care of your mind and what is ingested by it; mental Peace.Addressing them, getting deep into your routes, and solving the existencial problems that may exist in your mind; prospering.

Is it possible to unconsciously manipulate someone?

“Awareness is the exception, rather than the rule.”

You think “oh no, maybe I’m a manipulative person and therefore bad and I should stop being like that so I’ll be OK.<ul><li>You have psychological mechanisms, just like everyone. Yours may be different than others, but you can bet that you share those mechanisms with millions of humans — they’re not your personal catastrophic flaw, they’re just the way ego maintenance machinery works, for you.</li></ul>

Unconscious manipulation vs. Your Identity  

What you want is to become more aware of those mechanisms, recognize them for what they are, and “manage” or supervise them. <ul><li>My “adult relationship” with this involves learning to be aware, manage, and restrain my temper — and naturally, that includes telling the truth about it and not fooling myself or justifying it. </li></ul>It also includes being willing to apologize and “take it back” when I’ve said something I shouldn’t have said.

Having an adult relationship with your ego

Self-observe, so you can see how it occurs, be aware so you can supervise and restrain it, and don’t give in to the temptation to think that this is what defines you. There’s always a bigger you, beyond those limitations.

Unconscious Manipulation

Finding what we are really good at is only half the battle, the hardest part is putting forth the effort and motivation to actually work towards it

Finding Your Purpose

Everyone struggles with Resistance. Resistance is the little voice that tells us to procrastinate, avoid, and do anything but work on our passion

We All Have Internal Resistance 

Resistance manifests itself in the form of fear of failure, procrastination, and self-doubt

The more resistance we have, the more fear we feel, the more important that specific enterprise is to us and our growth

Fear Means It Is Important To Us

Once you find your purpose, take some concrete action towards your goal, so you can say you started, which is the hardest part

Act Now, Getting Started Is The Hardest Part

The only way to fight Resistance is through work.

Work On Your Passion

Stop treating your dream like a hobby. Treat it like a full time job.Set a schedule, have a deadline, and stay accountable. Don't over commit, just be consistent

Follow Your Dream

A passion should challenge you constantly. You should feel good when you go there. It should demand you constantly improveWhat you get back is only limited by what we put into it.

The War of Art

Meditation is mainly focused on shifting your circle of attention to:<ul><li>your inside world, where you focus on your breath, your heartbeat etc (interoception)</li><li>the outside, as your attention sets on sounds, smells etc. (exteroception)</li></ul>These 2 types are the extremes on a spectrum of perception. Some of us are more attuned to our own states (like if we are aware of our heartbeats during normal activity), some are more exteroceptive, meaning we pay attention to our surroundings.Dr. Huberman recommends practicing a type of meditation that goes against your normal mode of perception.

Interoception & Exteroception: the spectrum of perception

The Default Mode Network a collection of brain areas that are active when we are not doing anything. It generates mind wandering, shifting between the past, present or future. The concept gain prominence with a landmark study called "A Wandering Mind is an Unhappy Mind". The authors (Killingsworth & Gilbert) probed thousands of people about their wellbeing during various time intervals. Key findings:<ul><li>people's mind wandered no matter the activity</li><li>sex was the only activity with which the subjects were fully engaged with</li><li>unhappiness is correlated with the amount of mind wandering</li></ul>

A Wandering Mind is an Unhappy Mind

<ul><li>See where you are on the perception spectrum. If you are an inward focused person focus on the outside. Do the opposite if you are focused in the outside. </li><li>Recognise if you want to relax or you need to increase your focus.</li><li>Sit in meditation for at least 3 minutes/day to get any benefits. </li></ul>

How to pick your meditation style?

Dr Huberman looks at meditation as a brain scientists. Not a lot of philosophy, just some good ideas about modes of perception & the default mode network. 

In this episode, I discuss the biological mechanisms of the state changes that occur during different types of meditation and describe how to develop the meditation practice optimal for you. I explain key meditation principles, such as using specific breathwork patterns and adjusting your perception to specific locations along the continuum between interoception, exteroception and dissociation. I discuss how meditation practices lead to long-term trait changes and neuroplasticity, including changing your default mood, reducing baseline anxiety/depression, increasing your ability to focus, enhancing relaxation, improving sleep, and increasing your overall happiness level. I also explain the concept behind the “third-eye center,” what mindfulness is from a biological standpoint, the power of ultra-brief meditations and how to select the best meditation and time and duration to meditate to meet your need. I also explain a novel open-eyed perception-based meditation that may enhance focus, relaxation and task-switching ability. Whether you are a novice or an experienced meditator or simply interested in how our brain controls different aspects of conscious awareness and self-regulation, this episode should interest you.

Mindful Self-Discipline

Living with Purpose and Achieving Your Goals in a World of Distractions.

If you want to live a life of purpose, build good habits and achieve your goals, there is one skill that is more important than anything else: Self-Discipline. Self-discipline is not about punishment, it's about self-respect. It is not about being inflexible, but about living your best life. It is the superpower of focus in a world of distractions - allowing you to overcome procrastination, excuses, bad habits, low motivation, failures, and self-doubt. With it, you can stay on track with your values and goals even through the times when you are least inspired. Self-discipline allows you to choose who you want to be and live by design rather than by default. As a meditation teacher and self-discipline coach, Giovanni Dienstmann has helped hedge fund managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, ambitious professionals, artists and pro athletes to live a more focused and disciplined life. Since 2014 he has been successfully coaching people to overcome distractions, procrastination, self-doubt, fear, and other forms of self-sabotage. Whatever self-discipline challenge you face, whatever excuse you are telling yourself - Mindful Self-Discipline is a collection of all these years of experience, converted into a tool for you to use. This revolutionary book is a comprehensive and practical guide for you to develop self-discipline in a balanced way - without beating yourself up. It emphasizes the use of mindfulness and awareness as key components for building habits, rather than forcefulness and willpower. If you have tried other methodologies and failed, then this is for you. This manual for living your life purposefully contains: Over 50 step-by-step exercises Over 100 illustrations and diagrams Links to the scientific studies about each topic Many, many examples - all to make it as easy as possible for you to actually apply all this knowledge and transform your daily life. If you have tried other approaches (Miracle Morning, Atomic Habits, Willpower Instinct, Tiny Habits, Discipline is Freedom, Hooked, Can't Hurt Me) and didn't get the results you were after, then this is for you. Mindful Self-Discipline goes much beyond building habits, time management, and forcing yourself. It is gentler, more achievable, and rooted in living a life of purpose. Think you are not made to be self-disciplined? Think again.

Immediately after waking up, go out and take a deep breath of fresh air, and if the weather allows it, go for a morning walk.While this practice may seem overly simple, it's a great way to start your day:<ul><li>Endorphins rush through your body.</li><li>Your brain gets flushed with positive neurochemicals.</li><li>It gives you time to not look at your phone and start thinking about what you can accomplish today.</li></ul>Stepping outside your house and getting off the internet permits you to have positive thoughts and will set the tone for a positive rest of the day.

1. Get Some Fresh Air After Waking Up

What's the point in doing the same life, the same routine, working the same job, eating the same thing day in and day out?Try to do something you like at least once a week. It could be walking in nature, going for a run, going out with your friends, try out a new sport.This new experience gives you a fresh perspective on the meaning of life, and it elevates your mood.Make an effort to make the things that make you feel good a regular part of your life. Because those things are what make life worth living.

2. Do What You Like

If you feel bad about yourself, if you have low self-esteem, and low self-worth, then buying a new shirt probably isn't gonna help you, it will just distract you for a day or two.However, there is something to be said about dressing and presenting yourself to the world in a more dignified way, a way that reflects your inherent dignity and worth as a person.<a href="https://giovannispezia.wordpress.com/2022/05/29/the-magic-of-thinking-big/#look-important">Your appearance talks to you</a>, but it also talks to others. Make sure it says: “Here is an important person: smart, prosperous, and trustworthy.”

3. Dress Nicely To Be Confident Of How You Look

Keep bulleted lists to restore order to all the main domains of your life you can restore order to.If you leave things alone, they always get worse and disintegrate rather than stay the same.Now, I'm going to say something that you don't want to hear, but it simply is the truth about living a meaningful life:Without a direction in life, without a "game plan" of what you're doing with your existence and what you're working towards, by definition you're directionless. Figure out your purpose and strive to <a href="https://giovannispezia.wordpress.com/2022/06/26/overcome-stress/">work towards it</a>.

4. Keep A List To Restore Order

Taking care of your physical health is the cornerstone of your mental health.Take care of <a href="https://giovannispezia.wordpress.com/2022/06/19/diet-exercise-sleep/">The Three Pillars Of Well-Being</a><ol><li>Exercise</li><li>Eat clean</li><li>Sleep well</li></ol>

5. Work Out And Eat Healthy

These life-changing habits are the secret to a more happy and more fulfilling life. The best part? You can start doing them right now! Have a good read 📖

5 habits that make you feel incredible

1)We are all born with a divine fire in us.Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire.Every person possesses extraordinary power within himself. Once we realize that power, we should not let that potential go to waste. We should take steps towards achieving our goals by knowing that we have the power and are capable of what we want to achieve. We should always keep that fire burning in our souls and let it guide us.

Top 6 lesson learned from book - Wings Of Fire.

2)Total commitment is not just hard work; it is total involvement. Commitment is not just working 24*7 or working with no direction or just completing the work before you anyhow. Commitment is the way of doing your task by putting your whole and soul into it. Total involvement is- your attention should be only on your job but nowhere else. Total involvement means doing the work with great excellence.

2)Total commitment

3)Problems are part of life; sufferings is the essence of success.365 days of the year are not the same. Everyone has to face ups and downs in their life, particularly on the path of achieving their dreams. But these obstacles do not come in your way to stop you. They come to teach you some lessons and to make you stronger than before. Sufferings might seem unpleasant; still, we should welcome them as we welcome pleasure because we can not really enjoy success until we have experienced suffering. We should learn from them, and we should use them as an opportunity to increase our standard.

3) Problems are part of life; 

Often we get overwhelmed by the notion of perfection or the notion of sudden big change in our life. But to accomplish the goal, we have to put it into work every single day. We can not get success overnight. It takes time, and our job is to do our defined work every day because success is a series of small wins.

4)A big shot is nothing but a little shot that keeps on shooting

5)Naturally, major opportunities are accompanied by equally major challenges.The bigger you dream, the harder you have to work, the harder challenges you have to confront in your journey. And this will be a futile expectation that with average efforts, you can achieve something extraordinary. There is a simple law if you want to achieve some great heights in your life, you should be prepared to face that many great challenges.

5) Major opportunities Equates MAJOR C

6)Before God trusts you with success, you must prove yourself humble enough to handle the big prizes Before god, reward your success. He always tests the person whether he deserves it or not. Therefore, always keep yourself grounded and be kind to others. Do not be egoist after getting a successor before that. Because God always favors those who are worth handling the success without being rude.

Wings of Fire

I used to be someone very anxious and shy, even pandemic made my anxiety worse and dealing with connecting with people or friends was tough.But then I met meditation and my perspective changed.

The reason.

I never tried meditation, yoga, breathing exercises.I believed those things were complicated and required a lot of time. But meditation surprised me.

My first thoughts.

I started meditation with the app Medito. There were a lot of packs and the duration of each one could vary from 3 min to 20 min. I tried my first season of only 5 min to test me and it was incredible. The person talked to me in a soft voice that made me feel comfortable, even I could add sounds at the meditation.And the best, the app is free!

Meditation is short?

I know, we see a lot of people meditating in an alert position, straight back or siting; I thought that was required.But no.The app recommend me to shift positions, lay down, stay up, even walking! Or with open eyes, closed eyes. Meditation was possible in all the situations!

The perfect posture to meditate?

And what about the topics? I thought I should recite mantras while praying. But I got very surprised because the main topic was about my life. My work, my love, my emotions.I was the main character in this meditation, and there I understood something relevant.I never had a time to reflect about my life. An entire and deep moment of only 5 min made me understand that I finally started knowing me.

Is praying to someone?

We are living in a complicated world. Time is an important resource and the majority of us worry by work or study.But taking only 3 to 5 min for a session in the morning or before you at the bed will change your mind and bring happiness once more at your daily activities.

Conclusion.

Hello all! I just wrote about my experience about the first time I tried meditation and why I recommend you to do this. Hope you find this helpful! Cheers!

There are many forms of meditation, all of which help you cultivate mindfulness . Practicing one of these methods will help you to become more …

My first experience with meditation

"Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisioner."

There is no point in caring and worrying about what people may think, that’s out of our control; and if we do concern about others opinions, we are giving our power away, we are letting someone else rule our mental state.

It is our duty to keep our own faculties in a state of tranquility
