5 Mind-blowing Artificial Intelligence Tools 🤯

A whole other world exists on the other side of suffering.

In ancient times, when people felt doubted about a place in the lonely forest, the mind made them go back to their tribe and be safe and comfortable.Nowadays, when people try to do a new thing that makes them feel uncomfortable, the mind makes them go back to their comfort. Our mind holds a tactical advantage over us.Whenever you will try to do something that is not your habit, your mind will feel insecure. When you think of going to exercise, your mind tells you to leave it. It protects you from any discomfort. It will tell you to quit. If you hear to it, and give up, the future gives you up.

Our mind wants to protect us

When your mind asks you, "Dude, you remember the day when you said you will not give up on your new year resolutions and you slept for 12 hours the next day? You remember the day when you said you will study the whole night and you dozed off in 30 mins? How in the world do you think you are going to workout every morning? How in the world do you think you are going to run 1 km a day?"You gotcha have an answer to that. You have to shut your mind up. You have to rise above all fears and insecurities, and you have to NOT give up. You have to stay hungry. Hungry for the discomfort and sufferings.

If you can't answer the questions at that moment

You can have more than you've got because you can be more than you are.

A concept of physics-friction- is going to be used here. So when you are not moving, there is a force needed to make you move, to kill off the limiting friction. And when you are moving, there is a force needed to keep you moving, to kill of the kinetic friction.Similarly, the mind's doubt on us is like the friction but we have to have more determination than that, otherwise we simply can't proceed. You can achieve the impossible. It's just about how much force are you willing to fight the mind's friction. Without this force, progress is impossible.

How you grow

In the end, it's not about fame or being accepted by everyone, it's about who you've been with all this time and how it has all helped you. In the end it is about whether you have gained the ability to give back or not.You'll find your purpose and you'll find out one thing, that you are not in a race with billions of people but in a race with yourself.You should be able to say that you are giving you best and you are to the best to your ability.And that, is what makes you unstoppable.

Finding your purpose

If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice.

If no one kicks you, you gotta kick yourself.

Master Your Mind - David Goggins - Become UNSTOPPABLE

Sleep is the thing we all need but some believe the contrary. The thing we do for one-third of our lives but many don't do it for even one-sixth of their time. The thing some do in 1 phase and others do in polyphase.
Dr. Rebecca Robbins and Dr. David Rapoport help us clarify our myths and beliefs about sleep.Let's debunk it!

Intro

1) Watching TV in bed is a good way to relax before sleep. It is recommended to not do this because TV is a source to bright blue light. It kick starts our circadian rhythm making it hard enough to sleep.
2) Drinking booze before bed will improve your sleep. Although, this myth is true to some extent, it disrupts your normal sleep. This means that it may delay your REM sleep or even delete it, creating disruptions for the individual.

Myth 1,2

3) Lying in bed with your eyes closed is almost as good as sleeping. Sleep is not like putting your keys off. It is an active process which includes entering 3-4 stages per hour or so and repeating the cycle 4-5 times a night. If disrupted, you feel not rested.
4) If you can't sleep, you should stay in bed and try to fall back asleep. You should stay in bed but not with the stress of sleeping. Try to relax and still if you can't sleep, get up and stretch out. It may help.
5) Many adults need 5 hours of sleep or less. Scores of data has shown that almost all adults need 7-8 hours of sleep.

Myth 3,4,5

6) Your brain and body will adapt to less sleep. Your performance keeps deteriorating the more you restrict your sleep. How bad you feel is way greater than how bad you think you are feeling. 
7) It doesn't matter what time of the day you sleep. Sleep is timed, it doesn't just happen. If you play with your sleep biology, it will soon play with you. Studies have shown greater probabilities of heart diseases and obesity in the people who don't sleep according to their biology.
8) Exercising within 4 hours of sleep disrupts your sleep. This can be helpful for some people while harmful for some.

Myth 6,7

9) Remembering your dreams is a sign of a good night's sleep. It doesn't matter, tbh. What matters is how you are feeling the next day in the morning.
10) Eating cheese (or any other food) before bed causes nightmares. There is no particular food that causes nightmares but feeling uncomfortable while sleeping may cause them.
11) Loud snoring is annoying but mostly harmless. Snoring is a sign that something blocks your respiratory tube. LOUD snoring is a sign that that tube may be completely blocked which is also called sleep apnea. It may cause disruptions in sleep.

Myth 9,10,11

12) Hitting snooze is better than getting up. It is advised to set alarm for the latest time possible as it gives you enough sleep and allows you to work better. Hitting snooze just fragments your sleep and even REM sleep sometimes.
13) You can simply become a morning person. You can't change your chronotype but you can trick your mind believing that it is morning instead of evening or vice-versa. This can be done by the blue light therapy. It makes you believe that you are working in a different time zone.

Myth 12,13

14) You can catch up on sleep during weekends. This is a very common practice but it disrupts your circadian rhythm. Waking up 3 or 4 hours later than your usual time may lead to social jet lag. You may be in NYC but your body is in London.
15) Boredom makes you tired even if you got enough sleep. Boredom unmasks your sleep deprivation. If you have slept enough, boredom can't make you sleep.

Myth 14, 15

If you get nightmares, cool down your room temperature. Hot bed causes nightmares.

Two sleep experts debunk 15 of the most common myths about sleep. They explain that boredom, alone, doesn’t make you tired and that you should get out of bed if you can’t fall asleep. They also debunk the idea that loud snoring is nothing more than annoying. In fact, it’s often a sign of a serious sleep disorder that can seriously compromise your sleep.

Sleep Experts Debunk 15 Sleep Myths

Defeat, My DefeatMy solitude and aloofnessyou are dearer to me than a thousand triumphs,and sweeter to me than all world-glory. Defeat, My defeatMy self knowledge and my defiance,through you I know that I am yet young and swift of footand not to be trapped by withering laurels.And in you I have found alonenessAnd the joy of being shunned and scorned. Defeat, My Defeat My shinng sword and shield,In your eyes that I have readThat to be enthroned is to be enslaved.And to be understood is to be enslaved.And to be grasped is but to reach one's fullness.And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed.

Defeat, My Defeat by Khalil Gibran

Defeat, My defeat,My bold companion,You shall hear my songs and my cries and silences,and none but you shall speak to me of the beating of wingsand urging of the seas.And of mountains that burn in the night,and you alone shall climb my steep and rocky soul. Defeat, My DefeatMy deathless courage,You and I shall laugh together with the storm,And together we shall dig graves for all that die in us,And we shall stand in the Sun with a will,And we shall be dangerous.

cont.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,  "Life is but an empty dream!"For the soul is dead that slumbers,  And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest!  And the grave is not its goal;"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,"  Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,  Is our destined end or way;But to act, that each to-morrow  Finds us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting,  And our hearts, though stout and brave,Still, like muffled drums, are beating  Funeral marches to the grave.In the world's broad field of battle,

A Psalm of Life by H.W. Longfellow

In the bivouac of Life,Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!  Let the dead Past bury its dead!Act,--act in the living Present!   Heart within, and God o'erhead!Lives of great men all remind us  We can make our lives sublime,And, departing, leave behind us   Footprints on the sands of time;Footprints, that perhaps another,  Sailing o'er life's solemn main,A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,   Seeing, shall take heart again.Let us, then, be up and doing,  With a heart for any fate;Still achieving, still pursuing  Learn to labor and to wait.

If you can keep your head when all about you      Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,   But make allowance for their doubting too;   If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,   Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,   And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;      If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster   And treat those two impostors just the same;

If by Rudyard Kipling

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken   Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,   And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings   And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginnings   And never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew   To serve your turn long after they are gone,   And so hold on when there is nothing in you   Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,      Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,   If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minute   With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,      And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

cont..

Out of the night that covers me,      Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be      For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance      I have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeonings of chance      My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears      Looms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the years      Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate,      How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate,      I am the captain of my soul.

Invictus by Henley

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and bitter;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs;for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself.Especially, do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.Be cheerful.Strive to be happy.

Life Changing Poems for Hard Times

No one succeeds everyday, everytime. Neither can someone fail everytime. But when your life is going ok and you suffer from a failure. Is it ok? Is it ok to fail when you think you shouldn't have? Is it ok to cry when you were supposed to celebrate?

Letting Yourself Down

When you work so hard on something that your mind gets used up and your eyes are bagged by black circles, but still you fail-not by a margin, but you fail miserably, it hurts.When you thought you had got it but you didn't get it, instead, you fall in a cliff while trying to get it, it hurts.And it should hurt, why wouldn't it? If you feel like crying, then cry. Cause it hurts. It hurts because you tried your best. And when we realise something we wanted was beyond our best, it hurts.

Cry, Cry, My Friend 

There may be 2 cases further on:<ol><li>The event is recurring- In such a case, where you get a second chance, you should build your first. Hard. One's best efforts are also dependent upon time given. A punch from 18 inces is way much stronger than a punch from 1 inch. Try hard the next time. Turn your tears of disappointment to those of vengeance. Bounce back-1 month, 3 month or 3 years. For this will be stupendous this time. ;)</li><li> </li></ol>

Build Up Your Fist

2. The event is non-recurring- In this case, where this was your first-and-last or first-or-last chance, and you failed, when someone tells you that it's ok, you are probably going to punch him in the nose. Yes, it isn't ok if this was your last chance, but it shouldn't be your last chance of your life I guess. Change the direction of your efforts. Maybe you spent your whole efforts pushing on an immovable wall. Try to push a sandbag, rather. You will succeed, my friend. Just need to put the right efforts for the right duration in the right direction.

It Isn't 

Ever cried after giving your best? Ever cried after failing?

habits

Habits

It's ok... Or is it?

We are told that if we do not have an ambition in our life, we our missing the most important thing in our life, which is opportunity.Many of us don't understand ambition; those who do are thriving and those who believed they understand it but didn't struggle in their life.

<ol><li>Your ambition is not equal to your desires.- A desire could be earning a million dollars, but an ambition cannot be equal to your desire because desire is just a milestone, it doesn't make you happy. Your ambition should be such that your desires become a by-product of it. Like becoming a wealthy person and being independent could be your ambition and it will make your desire achieved.</li><li>Your ambition will change.- As you age, you realize this that your ambition is bound to change. Those who think its rigid, lead a painful life. If you are young, you must know that your ambition will change.</li></ol>

Understanding Your Ambition

3  Your ambition needs to match the opportunities that you sit on.- If your ambition does not match your availed opportunities then it is the opportunities that need to be worked upon, not your ambition. You set your mechanism to set opportunities in our life. The best thing you can do for your life is to create an opportunity engine. You must route your wanted opportunities to yourself.

I wanted to talk about something we are told we should all have our lives: ambition. While there's a lot of talk about it, but we don't truly understand it or how it works through the ages. It's often pegged to something false or not very foundational.

Time Management

Understanding your ambition

What we think we know is what we believe we know.

Psychologist, B.F. Skinner put a pigeon in a box and gave it food at regular intervals irrespective of what it was doing. He noticed that the pigeons believed that they were given food because of what they are doing; like hopping around etc.This behavior was called as 'superstitious belief' by Skinner.

Skinner box

Here, Michael made a room with checkerboard tiles on the floor and a button in the middle of the room kept at a table. He also made a money outlet (like the food outlet in original skinner box) from which 1 dollar bills would come out. The people (pigeons) were told that their aim is to collect as much bills as they can in 10 minutes. Michael sent them each bill after 30 seconds BUT people thought that they are causing the bills to come. For example, a woman thought that her opening and closing of the door led by pressing of the button was causing the bill to come.

Human Skinner Box

some people thought that dancing would urge the machine to give bills. A lady thought that pushing the button 4 times, then going out and coming in to the room was causing it, some made the producers laugh. But there was this one man who just stood there and didn't push the button at all, in fact, he resisted it. This thought of thinking that your actions are not affecting the money was called 'extinction' by Skinner. When he was asked about it in the interview, he said that he had thought that what would others not do. so he decided to do a different thing- do nothing.

Here they will be trying to feel the person that they have induced a spirit in them. That's why it's reverse exorcism.A clinic with dim lights with religious and scientific symbols here and there. People sat down on the bed, a doctor entered told that they will be facing reverse exorcism. A priest entered, holding Christ entered with his "ancient" book. They attached a brain-activity-checking machine to their head. The doctor, not the priest, started reading the things from the book like 'relax yourself, you may see a cut head or your mouth would start tweaking or fingers tinkling".

Reverse Exorcism

There was lady who said that she saw her deceased mother, she heard an angel say "Come, we can relieve you." She continued to watch wings. She could feel the winds and said that the dream was vivid.

Observation

<ul><li>We are belief-machines. We are patter seekers.</li><li>When confronted with uncertainty, people often behave superstitiously. Under the belief that they do have control.</li><li>To not form a superstition about the word around us makes us powerless.</li><li>Are we all fools?</li></ul>

Conclusions

How can a lie become true? In this episode, Dr. Aaron Blaisdell and I create a game show that is actually a giant “human Skinner Box” to observe the formation of superstitious beliefs. And Dr. Samuel Veissière helps me design and perform a placebo reverse exorcism, harnessing the power of belief in both science and religion to convince normal people that a spirit has possessed their bodies.

Behavior and Belief

The first thing I learnt from its blink apart from the fact that ninjas are ruthless, agile, and imperfect is that ninjas don't manage time, they manage attention. So, the first step is to know attention cycle. It refers to knowing when you are proactively attentive, when you are actively attentive and when inactively attentive. Some people have proactive attention in the morning and inactive attention after lunch while some have this swapped. But what matters is to do the right things at the right time. The ninja maps his attention levels, noting when he’s at his best and when he slumps.

Attend To Attention

First, stop checking your e-mails, and start processing them. You want to get emails out of your inbox qs soon as possible. To process emails efficiently, remember the three d’s: if you can deal with it, delete it, or delegate it in less than two minutes, then do it!  For Emails that demand more than two minutes, create designated folders- The first, the action folder, is for emails that require an action that will take more than two minutes. Next, the read folder is for emails you’d like to read. And finally, the waiting folder is for emails that need someone else’s attention.

Making Your E-Mail Inbox Zero

<ol><li>Jot down all your tasks, shower brilliant ideas, and repetitive thought at one place. </li><li>Then take some paper slips and write those tasks, ideas and thoughts in those paper slips. </li><li>Now place these paper slips at places like your mail box or office tray. By now, you should be staring down a small mountain of paper.</li><li>To attend to these tasks, we first need to organize them.</li></ol>

Capture And Collect

First, sort your tasks into two categories: Projects and Master Actions.<ol><li>Projects are your most involved tasks. E.g.-getting a wi-fi connection. This task contains a several tasks in itself. Hence, it comes under project.</li><li>Next, break your projects down into action items. This list of project-related actions forms part of your Master Action List.</li><li> Non-project related tasks – things like “renew driver’s license” or “book meeting room for Tuesday” – should be here, too. Basically, if it’s actionable, it goes on the Master Action List.</li><li>Group tasks into categories like “Office,” “Home,” etc.</li></ol>

Organize

How to Be a Productivity Ninja

The suffering the Buddha spoke of included people’s longing for pleasure and the knowledge that one day everyone will be parted from their loved ones. It included the fact that the wonders of life end in death.The Buddha called this suffering dukkha. Human beings are like a dog, he said, tied to a post and unable to escape, forever pulling at the rope. He called this trap of suffering the wheel of samsara, or the cycle of life and death.

<ol><li>Ardency-In the Satipatthana Sutta, he told his followers that they would need the quality of ardency on their journey, meaning the ability to sustain their efforts over the long haul.</li><li>Impermanence-In Buddhism, all things change except for nibbana – that highest form of happiness. Emotions and thoughts come and go, and the world we live in is one of birth, growth, decay, and death. </li><li>When you accept that suffering comes from the self, you realize renouncing the self not only ends your suffering, but also the suffering you cause others. The Buddha called this sense of purpose clear comprehension.</li></ol>

In the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha takes joy in telling his students how the body can lead the way to enlightenment. Begin, he advises, by sitting on the floor with your back straight and your legs crossed. Focus on your breath. Start by simply noting what is happening: I am breathing in. I am breathing out. Then take note of whether the breath is short or long. Eventually, you’ll become aware of where you are in the breath – the beginning, middle, end. As you go on, you’ll notice that you don’t just breathe with your nose and your mouth, or even lungs. Breath occurs through the whole body

Mindfulness

The first is impermanence. Feel your nerves spark with micro-sensations, and note that these always pass. Second, witness the driving force of suffering. See how you shift positions to counter an ache in your tailbone or stretch to ease a cramp. Third and last, see how mindfulness of the body reveals the absence of the self. You are skin, bone, sinew, organs, bile, snot, and tears. You are an interdependent system of things. There is no bigger you behind it. In this context, “you” – as the entity directing the system – are a fiction.

The mind contains the seeds of its own awakening—seeds that we can cultivate to bring forth the fruits of a life lived consciously. With Mindfulness, Joseph Goldstein shares the wisdom of his four decades of teaching and practice in a book that will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone committed to mindful living and the realization of inner freedom. Goldstein's source teaching is the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha's legendary discourse on the four foundations of mindfulness that became the basis for the many types of Vipassana (or insight meditation) found today. Exquisite in detail yet wholly accessible and relevant for the modern student, Mindfulness takes us through a profound study of: Ardency, clear knowing, mindfulness, and concentration—how to develop these four qualities of mind essential for walking the path wisely The Satipatthana refrain—how deeply contemplating the four foundations of mindfulness opens us to bare knowing and continuity of mindfulness Mindfulness of the body, including the breath, postures, activities, and physical characteristics Mindfulness of feelings—how the experience of our sense perceptions influences our inner and outer worlds Mindfulness of mind—learning to recognize skillful and unskillful states of mind and thought Mindfulness of dhammas (or categories of experience), including the Five Hindrances, the Six Sense Spheres, the Seven Factors of Awakening, and much more "There is a wealth of meaning and nuance in the experience of mindfulness that can enrich our lives in unimagined ways," writes Goldstein. In Mindfulness you have the tools to mine these riches for yourself.

Have you seen the movie 'Interstellar'? Cool movie, right. How would you like to be in that movie forever but just on that earth where nothing grows but only corns?This will be our exact situation after 50 to 55 years if we keep on doing what we are doing and you know what I'm talking about.Industrialization, desertification, soil erosion, fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals...We are destroying the very thing that keeps us alive in innumerable ways. We are killing our future generations. The very kids you love will starve to death and you won't be able to stop it.

A handful of soil contains 8 to 10 billion micro-organisms. Human has come from humus. We are living soil. In the previous 25-30 years, 80% of insect biomass has become lost. Disappeared. There will be 30% less food in the next 20 years. And when this happens, people with the greatest hunger and the biggest guns will kill the healthy ones to live. The poor will kill the rich for food and the rich will die. Soil needs to have at least 3% organic content to be agriculturable. But In India, for example, 62% of the soil has less than 0.5% organic content in it.

Soil is ploughed or paved to 9 or 12 inches of depth below and left open to dry (die). Land needs to be covered under tree shade so that it doesn't become dry. It needs to have those dead yellow leaves on top of it to cover it in the sunlight, not to be swept off in the gardens you play around. Land needs to be below grasses, trees, herbs, bushes to have the organic content which keeps it alive.

You can spread the awareness. You can make others conscious. Like I did to you. It is you who has to spread the message. On social media, casual talks, school lunchtime, work lunchtime, it is YOU who has to make them aware. So that they demand the soil we all need. You ask, how will spreading help?Well, in democracies the only currency that runs is numbers. When the governments will see millions of people demanding the same thing, they will address it in their manifestos so that the win the elections. They will bring us policies to revitalize soil and that is exactly what we need.

What can you do?

From 21st of March a 100 days rally has been held by Sadhguru. He is riding 3000 km from London to Cauvarey basin where he is spreading the message through posters, banners, paintings, colors, speeches. But you do not have to ride 24 countries, you just have to share, just share #SaveSoil. Make it trend. The word leaders should know what we want.  Twitter, Insta, FB, YouTube, everywhere. And if you are humble enough then you can make a stash about save soil right here in Deepstash. Because together we can make a difference.

Save Soil

Conscious Planet is a Global Movement to initiate a conscious approach to soil and planet. The movement seeks to show governments of all nations that their citizens want a policy to revitalize soil and ecology. To activate and demonstrate the support of over 3 billion citizens, Sadhguru will be riding a motorcycle alone, 30,000 kilometers across 26 nations. The rally will start in London and end in southern India, where the Cauvery Calling project, initiated by Sadhguru, has enabled 125,000 farmers to plant 62 million trees to revive soil and river Cauvery. Activating citizen participation will ensure that ecological issues become election issues, so that governments create policies and set budgets for ecological solutions, leading to sustained implementation.
