Recently I was asked what I care about. Seems like an easy question?! Try to answer it. These are some of the things that interest me and things that I am concerned with:
The Ineffable(hence the blog title.)
Space: Did you know there are about the same number of stars in our gallexy as there are nuerons in our brain? In scale, the space between your atoms in your body on a molecular level is about the same as the space between planetary and solar bodies in space. The menstrual cycle of a woman is the same number of days as the cycle of the moon. 'You know that you could never see someone fall in a black hole. Because the image of the traveler who passes the horizon would slow down till it would remain stuck in the same position; the state they were when they crossed the line."- The Science of Sleep. The edge of a black hole is called the event horizon.
Childhood: "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men"- Willy Wonka
Nostalgia :"The word is a learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting of νόστος (nóstos), meaning "returning home", a Homeric word, and ἄλγος (álgos), meaning "pain, ache". It was described as a medical condition, a form of melancholy, in the Early Modern period."
Intuition: If you've ever had an intuitive moment you know what this feels like. It's strange, you feel kinda scared, but a little powerful admittedly. "How did I know that?" Recently I've been looking back at all my intutive moments and it really freaks me out how the information I needed presented itself in the form of a image, thought, or random feeling. Sometimes, I'll dream of something and it will happen throughout the day- not always exactly; it varies, but interesting non-the-less. It must be genetic, my mom is intuitive. Also, I think my dog is too oddly enough. Some people report that thier Havenese have "psychic abilities" or "amazing abilities to observe and understand the feelings of their owners." I've been researching tips to increase your intuition on the internet. Some of it I don't believe but its an interesting read anyway:
click hereDreams: I used to have terrible nightmares as a child.
Super interesting facts here I also like researching about sleep paralysis.
Psychology: Basically anything psychology, I'm all up in it. Myer's Briggs is very interesting to me too. I'm an INTP. Find out your type online there are a bunch of free tests and stuff. "The Fregoli delusion or the delusion of doubles is a rare disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person who changes appearance or is in disguise." How terrifying would that be?
The Ocean/ water: I think deep ocean looks like deep space. The further down you go the more it looks like further up. Marine biology is fastinating.
The Unknown; The Hidden; The Mysterious One of the greatest fears of humanity is the fear of the unknown. The fact that everything relies on the preception of the original; of what is, to me, makes our world largely unknown. Conquering the unknown is what lead people to the greatest discoveries in history. I want to become more comfortable with what I don't know. It's something that I'm drawn to and equally repelled and fearful of. Being as open-minded as I am shy has been a struggle for me. You can know someone your whole life and still not know many of things about them. Even though its all relative, the fact that its possible they can know even less about themselves than you do is interesting and disturbing to me. It can be a range from little nuances to large gaps, but the hidden parts of identity is a fastinating and alluring topic. How well do we know ourselves; how well
can we know ourselves? To one person
I know myself means something different to the next.
