WHAT IS A SOUL?

Assuming that the soul is not a thing, science is unlikely to prove its existence anytime soon.

Yet the experience inspiring the word is entirely real. We speak of "the life of the mind", consciousness, psyche, the spirit.. "she's a free spirit".. And though people die their essence lives on - in words, deeds, qualities they gave to the people who knew and loved them..

There is something - a "soul-print" that connects us instantly to who
and what they were.

In terms of the broader context.. We know that life seems infinitely variable, and have begun to understand it in terms of systems, a vast web of inter-connectivity.
Life is creative. It solves problems. It adapts.

*Something is calling forth a higher degree of order.
I believe this something, this larger whole, is the mystery that which we call the soul belongs to.

COLOR PERCEPTION

When I was young, I spent a lot of my time before sleep wondering, "Is the color I'm seeing as 'Red' is the color you are seeing as 'Red'? " The meaning of Color According to Wikipedia, Color is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, blue, yellow, green and others.  Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources. Because perception of color stems from the varying spectral sensitivity of different types of cone cells in the retina to different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells.  It includes the perception of color by the human eye and brain, the origin of color in materials, color theory in art,...

DEATH in DREAM

Dreams to do with Death is very disturbing. I cried in the dream and also 'physically cried' and usually wake up with swollen eyes and a massive headache. Now I am exhausted. Ha! I think so far, (add this one) I have Four death dreams - One, I wasn't really impacted, non-emotional- I didn't cry, I was quite emotionless because I haven't talked or seen that person for many years and she probably spoken only two or three lines to me, so I wasn't that concerned. But I was concerned - as in why in the world I dreamed about her death? Well, the mystery of dreams. The first Death dream - I totally freaked out. I dreamed about a death of my family member- someone I love dearly. I did not see the dying process. It was more like a few officers brought me to a private room and then show some documentations and then break the bad news to me. I fell off the chair immediately and urgh, devastated. I don't want to be reminded of those feelings. I was so glad that it w...

KIDS MENTAL HEALTH

What defines normal behaviour for kids? Wait, What is NORMAL anyway?  I stumbled upon this article about “ disruptive mood dysregulation disorder ,” or DMDD . If DSM-5 is officially published (it’s due in 2013), kids will be deemed DMDD if they show " severe recurrent temper outbursts that are grossly out of proportion in intensity or duration to the situation .” … at least three times a week. I don't know what is normal for a kid, I don't have one, but I grew up as a kid, and so do you. So, I think temper outbursts is indeed usual - especially for spoilt kids. Perhaps this is another conspiracy of getting the new generation to be obedient to rules and laws without any deep questioning or rethinking. Individualism will soon die if we see these kids as problematic. Read more on Wired
