Storehouses of Energy

Thank you for the fascinating piece on the life of atoms, Jim! I will share how my thoughts on atoms and cells have shaped my understanding of healing and personal growth. The power of atoms, or of a single cell, amazed me when I read about the amoeba in Biology class. I loved the organism's … Continue reading Storehouses of Energy

Messengers of the Universe

If a messenger takes eons to reach the Earth, what happens to the message? Does it lose meaning, or does it mutate during the journey to stay relevant? The recipients know nothing of the source or the purpose of the message. They respond in a manner they think is right for their circumstances. Then, where … Continue reading Messengers of the Universe

Pantone Mastery

Pantone's introduction of the Matching System (PMS) in the 1960s transformed industries like graphic design, fashion, and printing. It provided a reliable way to reproduce colors across different materials and locations. This ensured consistency and reduced ambiguity. Consistency is Pantone’s most outstanding achievement.

Stories within Stories

What interests me are stories within stories – all that’s unseen and unsaid. Every character has a voice and a perspective, but is that the whole truth? Non-fiction can attempt objectivity, but all fiction is subjective. The unseen and unsaid, like lingering ghosts, haunt my mind long after the story is forgotten. Only the characters … Continue reading Stories within Stories

We’re nudged into independence, sometimes before we’re emotionally or financially … Continue reading Choice or Compulsion?

Initially, the playground is a buzzing hive of activity. Each child is driven by their unique goal, providing them with a sense of direction … Continue reading Humanity – Divided by Purpose

Water, water everywhere….

We will discuss the religious significance of water in Hinduism today. Not all of these beliefs may be relevant in the present context. Water is considered sacred as it purifies everything. Certain rivers are personified as Goddesses and worshipped. Dipping into these rivers is supposed to be a cleansing ritual (I seriously doubt if any … Continue reading Water, water everywhere….

Subterranea

Consciousness is awareness; it is also playing by the rules, projecting an acceptable version of yourself and burying everything else underneath. It leads to sophistication, and after a while, we dare not acknowledge our instincts. They are called base instincts because we are expected to rise above those. Humans have to differentiate themselves from animals. … Continue reading Subterranea
