Here are the ingredients of a Unity cocktail:
- A short letter by Francisco J. Varela titled "Why the mind is not in the head." It consists of 5 small paragraphs, but the message, if truly understood, can change the way you perceive everything. Here is a quote:
... the basis of mind is the
body in coupled action, that is, the sensory-motor circuits establish
the organism as viable in situated contexts. Form this perspective the
brain appears as a dynamical process (and not a syntactic one) of real
time variables with a rich self-organizing capacity (and not a representational
machinery). So in this sense the mind is not in the head since it is
roots in the body as a whole and also in the extended environment where
the organism finds itself.
- Last night I watched a documentary titled Heima. It takes you through a beautiful musical journey in Iceland. It's an amazing blend of humanity, nature, culture and sound. I think, music is a universal language, and not only within humans. It can also connect us with the natural world and the whole universe.
- Love Until it Hurts is a short and insightful answer by Ken Wilber. He talks about feminine way of mysticism and it's difference with a masculine way.
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.
