Beautiful. If awe is the perception that is bigger than us, then it makes sense to state that awe is what enables us to move forward in life. And I always like to say that, as much as I love the scientific method, it is Art and not Science the answer to the human condition. The artists are the real healers of this world.
"Awe is an overwhelming and bewildering sense of connection with a startling universe that is usually far beyond the narrow band of our consciousness" - Paul Pearsall
"Find the impossible in the simple" reminiscent of William Blake's poetic lines: To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.
"True awe raises more questions than it does answers and challenges faith more than confirms it... Awe is when life grants us the chance to think differently and deeper about itself, so that we are not left squandering its gift by languishing it away. Being in awe can make a real mess of our lives by disrupting our certainty about ourselves and the world, but it also enlivens and invigorates our living and can change how we decide to live." - Paul Pearsall
i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
1: Awe making us more able to move forward without necessarily needing closure, taking on more risk skillfully. 2: Psychedelic drugs possibly bringing inner peace to people who are consistently feeling symptoms of depression.
I believe art is so important..especially as a hobby or past time. No wonder I would get this immediate rush and tingly sensation in my head whenever I hear or see something intriguing. Being awestruck is actually good for the mind? Great, 🤩, sign me up!
The last time that I felt pure Awe, it brought a tear to my eye. It was exactly as you said. I felt like a tiny spec on the face of the planet, in light of the magnitude in front of me. Amazing. We need to approach the world with more awe and wonder! 😀🕺🏻🎥🏖🇦🇺
I really like the idea of going into “conflict” with the humility to admit what you don’t know. It does really suck watching this when you have depression, though. Like, the acrobats and the sand artist were incredible, and I know I’m _supposed_ to feel impressed and awed when I watch them, and I logically know that what they’re doing is difficult and takes years and years of dedication and training......but I just don’t feel anything :(
Lovely talk and incredible performances! You sir, have a fascinating mind and a fervor about you in the way you express yourself; these ideas you share. Thank you very much :) I am so grateful for each time I experience the state of awe!
A state is real to the one who feels it. You may enter a state of fear and even trauma during a horror movie session. The situation, of course, is simulated, but your empaty connects you to the character. It depends on your subconcious to really access this.
I wondered why I can watch a Cirque Cirque du Soleil and be amazed and the person next to me would be bored. That person next to me is not willing to be uncertain.
Can one bring in a feeling of awe by visualization and feeling the feeling of awe. If so can imagining all create the same health benefits, as actually being in awe of something?
I’m extremely surprised he’s claiming DMN is increased during an awe experience. This recent study suggests the opposite: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/31062899/ I would be surprised if DMN went up, since as far as I know that’s most associated with the perceptual state we usually have and the “default” sense of a big self. I would think awe and its associated “small self” perception would mean less DMN activity.
It would be interesting to know if he know a man called Neville Goddard,he was a teacher of the new thought movement.If you dont know about him search for the “remasterd“ audios here on yt.thx for reading !
He answered it around 9:57 forward. According to him, the state of awe makes you more social, more curious, less needy for closure. It allows for one to rearrange conflict in the mind to be constructive, rather than self-reinforcing or terminating. I don't see any publications backing any of this up though
Usually when I watch a ted talk I get a very clear takeaway at the end “incorporate high art into your life, it will inspire awe which will improve the way you feel and handle all things because.....” maybe something like that would have been a nice closer. Something more practical.
@@celloafterdark4173 I think you nailed it, that is a great take away. I think it is nice to sometimes have to work for your conclusion, and often presenting information without spelling out what an audience should take from it can be a rewarding gift.
It was amazing day! Dive partner Kenny & I have scuba camp at West side San juan Island, pot full of cooking abs, Lin Cod, sea bass,etc. an smell brought people to our camp. We feed 2 great lake wreck divers, than want to see octopus, sharks, we want you to scare the shot out of us! Ok we can do that! So we showed them George (for G. Washington), an octopus at lime kilm that we took visitors to met! George was 14ft 6 in long, we knew, that was one task we were doing for Labs! They did an emergency accent and Kenny an I had to grab fins an bodies for control at depth! Take us to shore! I took them all to shore an motored up to Stuart an Vancouver Island. An Orca killer whale woke me with the sounds of his breath heading toward me, using me as a target an swam right under my 16ft zodiac rubber raft! Give me some thumbs up an ill tell the rest of the story, you already know some, Cool!
Caution is advisable. Institutions have fashioned chains out of awe for generations. Even what he’s describing, it’s not totally benign, awe has he potential for abuse when in the wrong hands. Good talk nonetheless.
Libertarians get this best. It understands that we're different, that my way doesn't have to be everyone else's highway, that your desire to do "good things for people" may not match my own, or my own personal experience now precludes me from dealing with others no matter what their problems as I have my own, etc.
this is on of those guys for whom we say: "at least he is interesting" that said, who knows what he says has meaning? and who cares? we are entertaint. and that`s what it`s all about. that`s the way presidents get elected in this "funny" times, sadly.
Not everyone from the prey's species will die , those that survive do because they have better suited qualities for surviving for example, could run away faster or climb a tree to save their lives from the predators. Those that survive because of their qualities , live to pass them on to the next generation.
@@ramroom619 Are people ever being having any physical advantages against any predator? It looks like they always being smart and skilled, otherwise they (we) are just an easy food.
@@dadlord689 depends on the predator . We have an anatomy that allows us to climb trees better than some of our predators and that's an advantage physically speaking .
