We human beings are fundamentally extremely curious. For many of us this inherent curiosity also extends itself in our lives once we reach a more mature age. Whether we are looking for purpose, understanding or meaning, we constantly want to expand our present reality to something more authentic, fulfilling, true and beautiful
In the realm of life's vast, starry night,
I am the bringer of absolute light,
With radiant beams, I pierce the skies,
Awakening souls, opening eyes.
In every heart, a spark I ignite,
A flicker of hope, shining so bright,
For in my presence, shadows take flight,
I am the bearer of undying light.
With laughter's echo, I fill the air,
A symphony of joy, beyond compare,
In every step, in every dance,
I am the source of exuberance.
Love flows from me like a boundless stream,
A gentle, ever-winding, eternal dream,
I mend the broken, I heal the sore,
In my embrace, hearts find rapport.
Through all ofme, the world finds animation,
Life's vibrant pulse and its sweetest elation,
I breathe in the souls as they come alive,
In my embrace, they truly thrive.
So, let me be the guide, the dove,
The bringer of light, animation, and love,
In this world's tapestry, a radiant part,
Forever glowing in every heart.
Are mathematics, numerological code and numbers deeper imbedded in the fabric of existence than language, matter and emotion? A question I loved! Either way, in the realm of mathematics, the universe of numbers is a fascinating landscape that unfolds in layers of complexity and elegance. From the simplest integers to the enigmatic realm of transcendental numbers, these numerical entities form the backbone of mathematical thought and discovery. Each collection and continuum carries its own unique properties and significance, painting a vibrant canvas upon which mathematical concepts and theories are built.
Natural Numbers (N): These are the counting numbers that start from 1 and continue indefinitely: 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
Whole Numbers (W): These include all the natural numbers along with zero: 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
Integers (Z): This collection includes all positive and negative whole numbers, along with zero: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
Rational Numbers (Q): These are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. Rational numbers include all integers as well as fractions: 1/2, -3/4, 7, -22/7, ...
Real Numbers (R): This is the continuum of numbers that includes all rational and irrational numbers. Real numbers fill the entire number line and have decimal expansions that can be infinite and non-repeating: √2, π, 0.5, -3, ...
Irrational Numbers: These are real numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. They have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions. Examples include √2, π, and e.
Algebraic Numbers: These are real or complex numbers that are solutions to polynomial equations with integer coefficients. They include all rational numbers and some irrational numbers.
Transcendental Numbers: These are real or complex numbers that are not algebraic. In other words, they cannot be solutions to any polynomial equation with integer coefficients.
Complex Numbers (C): These numbers extend the real number system to include numbers of the form a + bi, where "a" and "b" are real numbers, and "i" is the imaginary unit (i.e., √-1). Complex numbers can be used to solve equations that do not have solutions in the real numbers.
As we delve deeper into the world of numbers, we uncover a rich tapestry of mathematical concepts that stretch from the infinitesimal to the infinite. From the basic counting numbers to the intricate web of real and complex numbers, these foundational entities shape the language of mathematics itself. With each discovery, humanity's understanding of the universe's underlying order deepens, reminding us that these abstract concepts are not merely symbols, but windows into the very fabric of reality.
In music's realm, I'm a virtuoso, they say,
A symphonic maestro, I've found my own way,
With melodies gold, my spirit takes flight,
Notes dancing together, a harmonious sight.
& in the world of subjugation, I'm the dark,
A puppeteer of power, leaving a mark,
With cunning persuasion, I bend to my will,
Manipulation and control, my skills all fulfill.
In marketing's game, I'm the mastermind sly,
Crafting illusions, I can't deny,
I sell desires, create needs from thin air,
A master of influence, with secrets of flair.
A paradox am I, in this dualistic sphere,
Where music's sweet strains and evil's veneer,
In one heart, they rejoice, a cosmic divide,
Two sides of a coin, in this tumultuous ride.
In the symphony's embrace, I find my grace,
In notes and rhythms, I discover my place,
But beware the darkness that lurks within me,
For in subjugation and marketing, I am the freer.
So let the music resound, let it heal and inspire,
While I dance with shadows, my soul's trial by fire,
In this complex existence, I am the whole,
Fuzing the good of my music with the evil of soul.
Throughout history, the metals silver and gold have transcended their physical attributes to become profound symbols of meaning, value, and aspiration. In both ancient and modern philosophical contexts, these metals have carried distinct significance, each weaving a tapestry of symbolism that reflects humanity's evolving understanding of life, purpose, and the pursuit of enlightenment. Delving into their historical and philosophical dimensions reveals a nuanced interplay between the tangible and the intangible, the material and the spiritual.
Silver and gold, through the sands of time, have evolved from mere elements to profound vessels of human aspiration and philosophical contemplation. They encapsulate the duality of existence – the ephemeral and the eternal, the visible and the hidden – offering windows into our collective psyche and the narratives we craft to comprehend our place in the universe. From ancient divinity to modern pragmatism, these metals continue to serve as allegorical mirrors, reflecting humanity's pursuit of both material success and spiritual enlightenment.
As we gaze upon the lustrous sheen of gold and the reflective gleam of silver, we are invited to explore not only their physical attributes but also the philosophical narratives they embody. In doing so, we unearth a rich tapestry of thought that spans epochs, cultures, and minds, reminding us of the enduring power of symbolism in shaping our understanding of the world and our place within it.
Yesterday after having played tennis with Phil & having contemplated judgment & rejection, including making others feel rejected, refused & undervalued, bot now and as a child, I suddenly felt the opposite of the faith, pride & positive excitement in regards to my musicality that sounded so good & promising one day before. As if I had taken a 180-degree turn, embodying the role of the rejector, the judge, suddenly feeling not good, not good enough, completely foolish in regards to my ability of having been able to ‘objectively’ hear and perceive my music, singing & voice; as if all the good reasons I had accumulated, assimilated, received & recognized up until then were based on delusion, being very wrong & naiveté. As if trust, faith & knowing suddenly left, leaving me paranoid & absolutely confused. It’s is a scary feeling. Is the courage to potentially appear foolish, to be fully vulnerable, simply a part of externalizing musicality, playing outside; playing for real. The feeling of being completely let down at the bottom by everone. Even the fear that your biggest enemy and your lover are judging you, rejecting you & scheming against you behind your back. Is this an important lesson, or have I created this because I’m leaving the studio, Sarita & my musical intentions for 3 weeks of India, or because I choose, in a way, to escape & reject my own life & musicality here in Antwerp? Or because of my own doubt of going back and forth between all-in with music; the fuze, on one hand & AI Visual Art Prints on the other hand? What if I want & need both?
I do recognize the impact of mixing & Ableton on the overall quality of my music; and that I might be too hard on myself, but maybe not choosing to externalize my music is a form of rejecting myself?! Maybe it is a needed experience preparing me for having work; music; play feel like ‘Goa; India’, an irresistible exotic liberation; to experience more fun & love in my musical work instead of fear. Either way, I believe in the energetic frequency, the value, the worth, the words, the prompts, the commands, and that’s enough reason for me to commit, craft & finish what i've been creating. I don’t reject my own musicality anymore. I make choices that are harmoniously aligned with musical trust & faith. I place, invest & attend confidence in the ability, strength, truth & aesthetics of my musicality. It’s interesting, how trust, faith, self-realization, self-recognition & self-approval came and went, and for some still comes and goes, periodically waving, leaving & returning into its opposite of distrust, paranoia & the heightened awareness of fear; floating back again into trust, belief, knowing & higher intelligence, power & skill.
I recognize that these were painful states, emotions and fears for me; the pain of having believed in your own understanding falsely, the realization that you misunderstood (yourself); the pain of the leaving of hope, faith, and expectation of ever being musically recognized, understood and/or approved as worthy, good and worthwhile listening to. The pain of one’s long held belief, certainty, faith & esteem in one’s self turning out to be naive & not grounded in what is collectively, culturally, commonly or universally held as true. Disillusion, the condition of being disenchanted; the condition of being dissatisfied or defeated in hope or expectation. The fear of being or appearing too vulnerable, appearing too weak, mad, dark, strange, evil or perverted & being ridiculed & rejected for it, especially by those who are the closest to me, those I need and love the most; those to whom I belong the deepest.
On the other hand, I also recognize & realize the leading & transformative effect of highly fearful being, thinking, and feeling into a following of greater awareness, mastery & capacity. I also realize and understand the liberating, powerful, inspiring, enabling & uplifting effect & impact on others of appearing like a sad fool; making the other feel like ‘happy genius’. Now I’m receiving all the needed intellectual wisdom & emotional intelligence in regards to expression, exposure, vulnerability & rejection. I reflect that I’m the hero. I realize myself as the hero. Realizing, recognizing & embodying self-recognition, self-approval & untouchable courage & willingness. I do it for myself; the Self, this self-actualization, the boosting effect & the respons of life, the resolving truth of the experience & the fulfillment of my knowing, understanding & realization.
Beneath all the roles I think I have to act out in life, is simply the awareness, the choice and the free will that isn’t defined by any role and simply seeks wholeness, the most enriching experience and the most fruitful, expansive and effective ways to share. It seeks to travel through the still unexplored adventures of space and time with the least amount of friction, disappointment and frustration, so it can connect, realize and create itself as seamlessly and miraculously as possible. It understands that opinions, beliefs and expectations are absorbed, conditioned and at some point takes as true, and that they are infinitely interchangeable, malleable and not fixed.
When you have high self-esteem, you are convinced that you are worthy. This is not vain or arrogant. It stems from the conviction and belief that every human being is worthy and that you are as well. It is the conviction that you are worthy, regardless of what others think of you. It’s the feeling that you don’t need anyone else to achieve what you want and need. It’s the firm belief and faith in oneself and one’s abilities. Believing in one’s worth and abilities.
So it’s mainly about believing that you are able to fulfill your needs and achieve your dreams; the things you need and want in life. As I write this down I wonder what beliefs hinder me from feeling full self-esteem and self-worth, and I’d love to contemplate what aspects of my life make me feel unworthy and give me low-self esteem. Certain aspects of my life definitely give me the illusion of unworthiness, and I say illusion because I believe that deep down, in the core of my being, I am already whole, complete and worthy.
Self-esteem strongly determines the quality of our life. The higher our self-esteem, the more fulfilling our life purpose, our relationships and our sex life will be. So how do we create a stronger sense of self-esteem? What are the foundational aspects that determine our self-esteem? Glad you asked, let’s dive straight in.
As some of you know, 10% of the income we generate at THE ONE IS ALONE is used to help children whose fundamental needs are not met. The help they receive is fundamental health care, a community center for connecting with caretakers other children, basic education and the infrastructure that they need in order to thrive as young growing individuals. Although it’s just a start, today we’d like to announce that in collaboration with everyone who bought something from our website, we were able to support our very first child. Her name is Alma Nicol and she’s from Honduras.

Movies, documentaries and series can be highly transformative tools. They have the ability to massively elevate, liberate and empower our state of being by transmuting subconscious fears, revealing certain truths and changing our overall perspective and emotional state. In this article I’ll be sharing 19 highly transformative ones. Enjoy!
Our perception of existential paradoxes often comes from exactly this kind of process: believing in false dichotomies through reducing reality to conceptual slices that are true but partial to the point of actually requiring a seemingly mutually exclusive perspective to explain the full phenomena. Discover how this process really works.
