When I was a child, my family and I visited the botanical gardens very often. I remember the embracing smell of the oceans of tulips, roses, and narcissuses in the springtime. I remember the garden where we planted arugula and pulled the carrots out of the ground. The was a nature center for children where [...]
Lately, I have become very interested in consciousness: where it comes from and what it does. (You can read my post about it here) There really is no definitive answer to this really big question, but the way I see it, consciousness is an evaluation of your perception of the physical world. This evaluation takes [...]
Darkness is the weight That permeates my soul When the lights go out And the humans are finally quiet Our power to dominate the word, depleted I need a break from viewing reality They've told me Yet my eyes remain wide open, Searching, for the shadows in the dark Looking for the response of the [...]
What is consciousness? Obviously, this is a very difficult question to answer since no one really knows what it is, neither scientists nor philosophers. The standard definition of consciousness, kindly provided by Wikipedia, is: “the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself,” which really does [...]
This morning I found out that I was nominated for the Mystery Blogger award by Cheryl Mary Coleman. I haven’t been blogging for that long, so I didn’t really know what that was all about. Turns out it’s a way to show one’s appreciation for a blog that they really like, and this award is [...]

What if, every single time a choice is made, the universe splits into infinite probabilistic outcomes, allowing each choice to happen, but our consciousness resides in only one of these realities? Considering this theory means that an infinite amount of universes exist. This infinite is so large: purely beyond any level of our comprehension. This [...]
I’ve always had a very deep appreciation for music, but, since I am incapable of performing it, my gratitude is expressed in the massive amounts of time I spend listening to it. As I grow older and become more conscious of the world around me and my seemingly unimpressive and mundane position in it, I [...]
We’ve all been taught that the smallest particle of matter is an atom. From there the atom is divided into the neutron and proton, which are located in the nucleus, and electrons that spin continuously around in an orbit. As young and oblivious students, we let this information permeate our porous brains, and we dutifully [...]
Thanks for joining me! For some odd reason, I just like to take the train down to the big city of New York, and aimlessly walk around. I see a lot of interesting stuff, and I thought I'd share it here. Observing the city, I can feel its energy, diversity, and life. There is so [...]
