  Author: Tibi Moravčík Anger can be approached in various ways. Some people revel in what they call "righteous anger." Even in myths and religions, some gods succumb to this emotion.   Anger as a Source of Primal Strength Anger, alongside fear, is one of the fundamental "animal emotions," a product of the ego primarily designed to protect us. It manifests in the well-known "fight or flight" response. I know fighters who deliberately get hit at the start of a fight—or even hit themselves—to "ignite" their anger. They harness anger and its resulting power. In anger,...

  One of the widely spread narratives is that: 'You shouldn't try to change society, but rather focus on changing yourself.'   I absolutely agree that we should work on our personal development. However, I don't agree that we should not affect our society.   I have more layouts, depending on the perspective from which I observe myself. I am this body but also part of society—family, town, state, global humanness, Gaia and the whole Universe.   In society, I share my influence with others. So, my influence is smaller as it grows in size. However, I am not without...

Ideas evolved in spirals, harnessing the collective potential of all participants. Circles were...

by Tibi Moravcik   Life is evolving from smaller, simpler structures to more complex ones. To illustrate this basic trend, let's simplify the process of evolution: Atoms create molecular structures. Molecules form bacteria, viruses, and mitochondria. These evolve into single-cell organisms, creating multicellular organisms that eventually live in societies.   What Drives Life Toward Complexity? Likelihood to survive. The chance of survival increases with collaboration and group size. Smaller structures realise that their chances of survival improve in larger groups and through...

by Tibi Laska Moravcik   How would your life be without senses? Why would consciousness incarnate into matter if it couldn’t be experienced through the senses? One crucial quality of life is the ability to respond to stimuli. Life can respond to environmental changes, and this responsiveness involves sensory perception. The quality of our senses defines the quality of our life. What if you had a more sensitive perception? How would you enjoy food if you lost your sense of taste, and how if you have a very delicate taste? How would you experience a beautiful sunset...

There is a difference between stretching and expanding. Stretching is based on mechanical flexion (bending an arm, leg or back). Flexion stretches muscles, tendons and fasciae in combination with a skeleton. Stretching puts pressure on the involved joints and discs! Stretching doesn't demand your attention. Expansion and contraction usually have the direction of a line, plane or sphere and happen without flexion. Expanding on Pravilo decompresses every joint and spinal disc between all straps. Less pressure stops or slows down the detrition of joints, making space...
