Well we kicked off with a little talk about cypto, but soon saddled up for a run at science and the hooman condition :)

Just because you cant see it dont mean it aint real, it isnt there or it dont exist.... sounds like a woo woo kinda thing to say, but when we take pages form the sciences we find some good examples, germ theory for instance or maybe you remember that time when they pointed The Hubble telescope at 'nothing' for 100 hours and found this...

Yes that's right... there are things well beyond our understanding that we have no ability to comprehend, it can be a scary thought, particularly since we are so superior... or so we have been led to believe... how could we possibly be wrong?

In this sense we see the weaknesses and flaws in science, or maybe it would be better to put that blame on mankind itself...

The same tale is told through the spiritual realm, an attempt of understanding the universe we live in and what it all means based on our limited senses interpreting the impulses sent through our neuron networks and trying to give them meaning beyond the self.

Gods, religions , gurus, holy individuals, false prophets, overbearing shamans and much more all itching to get you to "see things their way", to take their word on something which can not be seen... to accept a forced perspective, usually for their own gain.

All this in an attempt to figure out what life is, what its all about, what does it mean? As nice as it would be to have a definitive answer, it seems that there is no universal answer to the meaning of life... It is something which we each must discover for ourselves.

While the aforementioned groups, and many others, will try and tell us what is 'normal' and what we should be doing, we have to understand that construct of normal is based purely on perspective. In any given situation you could be the spider or the fly

Normal chaos

From here we decided to shift gears and talk about what i have dubbed "The Superbowl of emotional fuckery", this is something we tend to do to ourselves, maybe as a means of self sabotage...

We have all been through some rough shit in life, it may not be what we signed up for but its kinda part of the package, in the small print.

While we may have moved past these things, if the conditions are right, all it takes is mild storm to raise the dead emotions once felt. These feelings come creeping in like a thief in the night to steal your self worth and piece of mind.

Being aware of the negative self talk, emotional distress and the impact on the self , is crucial in dealing with the situation and applying appropriate interventions.

The truth is we can not hide from ourselves, as much as we may try to, the signs seep through into everything we do, so its up to us to have plans in place to help get us out of the tailspin.

Our emotional history can lie deep within us and have a subconscious effect which can blur how we see past events, impact the present and the future... take care out there...
