Tabula Rasa

The term "tabula rasa" is associated with John Locke, who lived in the seventeenth century. In this way, he described the mind of a newborn human, a little tiny baby, who is leaving the cosy place, and enter to the world full of wolves. The baby's mind starts to learn how to survive in the new environment. 

However, I have a different idea than this "tabula rasa" thing. In my opinion, nobody is born as a saint, because we are born as self-centred creatures (saints are not selfish), and with the years as we are getting life experience, we learn how to be more sociable, we adapt to live in the herd.

Magic of Communication

How often happens that we see the person for the first time and before the conversation starts we 'know' who we have to deal with. For a long time, I thought it is like that because of some magic, or kind of connection from the previous life, energy, vibration... The truth is plain. We all communicate even when we are not talking.

The Truth About Truth

The statement ''map is not territory'' for the first time was used by Alfred Korzybski (1879-1950) and since then is often repeated to describe differences between the real and mental worlds.

He 'was a Polish-American independent scholar who developed a field called general semantics, which he viewed as both distinct from, and more encompassing than, the field of semantics'. He argued that human knowledge of the world is limited by the nervous system and languages, and therefore no one can have direct access to reality, because we can only know what is filtered through brain responses.

Three Brains

The brain of each of us is separated into three parts: the lizard brain (reptilian system), monkey brain (limbic system) and human brain (neocortex). It is called Triune Brain Model.

All parts are important, each part is needed for proper functioning. Unfortunately, some people overuse the monkey brain.
