Classical Treasures

We played in winter wonderland during Riyadh season, and we looked for any opportunity we could find. Through those shows, I started meeting people. I got invited to attend the first public rock show in Saudi, which is where i met creative waste (one of the first ever bands from Saudi) and became friends with them. Eventually, their little brother became our new drummer. 2020: Once covid came, I decided to get serious about the album and commit all my time to finishing it. And that’s what I did, and still am Doing. During quarantine, we did a virtual hey June, where we had performers from Saudi, US, France, and Brazil.In December, we decided we wanted to do our first real show in Saudi, so we booked it at Creo in Khobar. 2021: Still working on the album. I had one goal for summer of 2021. To play in Sharqiyah, Riyadh, and Jeddah in one summer. And i made it happen. In 2 months, we played in Bohemia, syrup, and the music space. Yazan and I Called it The Summer of Gimmix. Through those shows we got multiple contracts offers, but declined them. 2022: after almost seven years of hard working we finally did it our first debut studio album (Dance On Fire ). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A&R analyze with the 8's : After I listen to them I could say the following: 1- Singing: need a lot of work maybe because the band don't like singing but to play on instrumentals, maybe Abdulla could sing but he voice is not extraordinary but he know how to use it, to fix this problem need more lessons in singing. 2- Songs: so powerful considering to their age (so good) so creative they have storyline in their songs each song is like a person in the mysterious cult the album is the leader where the songs are the members each one of them had their unique style and goal. 3- Story: definitely it’s amazing story to know that they come from very conservative family and how they start so amazing after their father pass way their mother try to let them face the grief by learning the music she was studying in USA on that time. 4- Stats - in fact they don't care about being famous they just want distance and mystery to be surround them the band whom play the music. 5- Squad - there mother was very famous writer in Saudi Arabia east coast and she is a professor in the college in Riyadh right now. 6- Spend - they are very good with budget them self so, they don't need that much just to improve their performer or equipment's nothing more. 7- Star Quality: definitely they have the star quality, they have this vibe of mysterious who just want to perform their music that would let everyone want to know more about them more interesting in what they will do next. 8- Style: there music very unique well planed close from to alternative rock hard rock similar to the indie English seen bands from 2000s and mid of 1990s even in their cloths. You can listen to Gimmix on Spotify from here : https://open.spotify.com/album/4A0NVen7955PpUuc1DzZLe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mohammad Alsubie

Brief Presentation of The Band Called Gimmix (Saudi Arabia) by Mohammad Alsubie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Band Name: Gimmix Genre: Alternative Rock the history background of the band and their music style in the next timeline. Timeline of Gimmix according to them : 2012: Yazan and I start taking music lessons at Jacobs school of music in Indiana. After 1 year we start teaching ourselves. We started on the classical guitar and Violin. Over time, we got more instruments. Electric guitar, bass, piano/keys. (And in high school we both joined choir, and marching band.) 2015: We start meeting young musicians in our area in Arkansas, and start performance lessons. We constantly improved together and work up the “ranks” of the school. Eventually we’re assisting in the children's classes. 2017: We are with our friend Blaine (drummer). His dad tells us to start practicing together, so we can open for his dad and uncles at a show at George’s Majestic Lounge (George’s is a very respected and great venue with lots of history, so this was a very big deal for us. The show ended up getting cancelled / delayed. But we kept constantly practicing together anyway. We would record covers and post them on social media, which people in our area loved. Eventually I start writing songs and teaching them to Yazan and Blaine. We didn’t want to record the songs until we perfected them, so we just rehearsed them constantly and added more elements to them.One day someone asked what our band name was, we said we don’t know yet. Then he asked us what our Gimmick was going to be, and we told him there is no gimmicks, we just want everyone to hear the music. That’s what our mindset was back then. After that we all got to thinking, and we agreed on our Name Gimmix. 2018: Still with the school, we played hundreds of shows in lots of different situations. Sometimes it was small venues and bars. Sometimes it was charity shows, like make-a-wish. Sometimes it was on the back of a moving truck in the middle of a parade. Even the public libraries. That time period gave us lots of good experience in performing. And finally, in September 2018, the George’s show gets booked again and we play it, it was our first show as Gimmix, and getting to open for Blaine’s dad and uncles was a magical night.This show encouraged us to practice even more and work harder on the songs. I remember talking to my mom about why I don’t know how to write good lyrics. She told me it’s because I’m writing about things I don’t know about, or have no real emotional connection to. And that gave me the idea to start building concepts and unique Ideas for songs. And that took song writing to a whole other level. 2019: Yazan and I both got to audition for School of rock all stars. Also. we got the opportunity to go to Milwaukee to play at the rave and at Summerfest. In school, I had been working hard in the film department. I won 4 awards at my first Aspa (Arkansas scholastic press association) and the Grand prize for the Arkansas historical documentary competition. Through that film program, I met a group of very like-minded guys who helped me build my concepts and ideas. I met a guy named Cooper Clark, who is the one who convinced me to start recording the songs with him. Him and I learned everything about recording together, and started the process at his house. Also, we made Hey June. Hey June started out as just a Gimmix show, but we started telling our friends to practice their sets so they can play with us. So, it turned into a long show with our band and our best friend’s bands. The show was so great we decided to make it a yearly tradition. Which they’ve kept going in Arkansas 3 years in a row now. To me, the First Hey June was the most important show we ever played. Near the end of 2019, we moved back to Saudi. And immediately wanted to continue what we had started in the states. I had known about the Scene in Saudi, and made it my mission to become part of the community.

The Perth Edinburgh bus has arrived at St.Andrew Square precisely on time. The great clock of the enormous Gothic building chimed 9 a.m. I have dreamed about this moment so many times in my sleep; now, as I walk down the street of the city's main square for real, it appears to me that this is the continuation of my night dreams. I'm used to seeing people in big cities who are always hurrying somewhere with an expression of indifference on their faces and even sullenness. As if the mere fact that you woke up this morning, that you've been granted another little life, isn't enough to light up your face with a smile. But what was my surprise people who understand this life here? Who genuinely appreciate it. Are you kidding me? We're not going to go there, are we? I point to the hill and say, "The so-called 'Arthur's Seat,' an ancient volcano, is the prominent peak." - We are already climbing, - Anton remarks laconically to me, climbing the first stone steps carved here by nature itself, taking care of millions of pairs of fragile and not very legs. Even Stevenson called it "The Hill of Majesty", admiring its bold design, who am I to ignore it in a fit of laziness? Step by step from denial, anger, bargaining, depression to the very acceptance of the inevitable, I went more than half the way, while listening to the philosophy of wine. It sounded very melodic. "Sparkling is a celebration of dances, fireworks, noisy conversations; White - a quiet cozy evening, a warm scarf on the tender shoulders of a beloved girl opposite, thin fingers on a glass and sparkling glances; Red - for heartfelt conversations, that's exactly what you can't drink with just anyone." “Yes, when you are in France, pay attention to people in cafes and restaurants. They often sit for hours with glasses of red wine alone...” adds Ardan. Stop! You didn’t say “if”, but “when”, as if my visit to Paris is already a fact,” I interrupt mid-sentence, suddenly catching my breath from realizing how real the world around us is, and how it is close. I don't need to look at it warily from my shell. It is here, nearby, at arm's length, if you say "when" instead of "if". "It's just a matter of time," he answers. A few moments later, standing at the very peak of the hill, I look down at the path I have traveled. A parallel with life itself emerges in my head. Everything that seems difficult requires a first step, and everything that seems impossible is just a little more effort. Have you already set your next peak? ———————————————————— Milan Yusupova

Critical Thinking ——————————————————— Just finished a book by Daniel Kahneman called Thinking, Fast and Slow, which is an excellent tome I recommend to all of you to read, I learned the foundations of Critical thinking or (I think). I wrote a lot of notes on my vintage notebook (not the laptop), In this article, I'm attempting desperately to figure out whether or not, If I understood anything. *** The Definition: Critical thinking means that you think about the information you have, and then make a decision with a consideration of adding your observations, experiences, or other stuff, the Objective here is to help you make a conclusion. so it's a (tool) that helps you make a good decision besides of your just perspective. *** Importance Of Critical thinking: People who can think critically are able to understand themselves and what they want. They can use the information that they get to decide which is best for them, the meaning of knowledge is power. *** Some History: The earliest records of critical thinking are the teachings of Socrates recorded by Plato. These included a part in Plato's early dialogues, Socrates, for example, establishes a dialectic with one or more interlocutors on the issue of ethics, such as whether it was appropriate for him to flee from prison or not. ** How can someone be a critical thinker? Is there a way, A GUIDE,? Do I have to learn it in school,? unfortunately in the middle east, they don't, or let's say rarely to find a school that teaches you how to think in this way For so many reasons, it is both economic and psychological. It also has significant social, religious, tribal, structural, and other dimensions. *** by following these easy steps you could be or become a critical thinker: 1- Begin by describing what you're looking for. Keep your request as precise as possible, the narrower the problem, the easier it is to discover solutions or answers. ** 2- Gather information, viewpoints, and arguments, Look for several sources that offer diverse ideas and perspectives, The more knowledge you obtain, the clearer the answers you get. *** 3- You need to be able to analyze and evaluate data. Are the sources credible? Is there any evidence that their conclusions are based on facts rather than opinions? Is there enough information or data available to support your theories? *** 4-Examine where you found your information. Make sure that the sources are not biased. Make sure you search for answers from all different places, not just one place. *** 5- Establish a purpose for the study. Which piece of information is most crucial? Is the discussion helpful for what you are talking about? *** 6- Decide, Examine several potential conclusions and pick one of them that is sufficiently supported. Weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each viable option. *** 7- You have a conclusion. Tell people about it. ** Tools help learn the critical Thinking The most modern form I could think about is this fantastic website and app : https://brilliant.org/ It will build your logic and craft your Common sense , *** Keep in mind that critical thinking is a skill that will take time and effort to master, but when you do use it in your daily life, you may notice a significant difference. ————————————————————— Mohammad Alsubie

5-Attend Events:who is your favorite artist?When was the last time you saw him perform in person? Imagine you may now go to his live events from the luxury box at a very cheap price, from anywhere in the world,literally attends any live events in the world from launching a rocket in Space X, to attending live workshops in Harvard no need to make a lot of efforts and spend a lot of money to make it happen anymore. *** 6- ReExperience The Real Issues: For example If you're afraid of mice, spiders, heights, or any other phobia, the metaverse may help you conquer any fears by facing them head-on and dealing with them in a creative and enjoyable way. I feel that overcoming your fears necessitates a tremendous amount of desire; additionally, I am against the use of any type of medicine to treat it since it is connected to behavioral change. It's something that you'll have to deal with all on your own, and it will fall within your abilities. Because if you do, you might accomplish a lot of things in your life. remember that David Hawkins gives the fear 100 in the map of consciousness and that not a coincidence. *** 7-Feel The Meeting: Have a look at this scenario: 8 millions of people work in Dubai from all over the world, far away from their family, the majority of whom struggling with there jobs working hard ,living between nostalgia and missing their loved ones. missing seeing their children grow up before them.All of this would be parts of history, with the contemporary technology we have today I'm able to meet with my friends and share experiences with them,and believe me if i said that experiencing life in a 3D world is completely different from simply sending text or making video calls in 2D what about after 5 years when the VR Haptic Gloves become a reality where you could touch things in this virtual world . *** 8- Simulation :One of the greatest experiences you may have in this virtual world is to perform things that might require a lot of work, for example I'm such a Ping Pong addict, Yes, I have space on my apartment and I can easily acquire a Tennis table, since it is readily available, Then who should I play with? who would travel to my home to play it with me! the best thing i can do is to travel to place provide this service, pay for it,find people who are willing to play it against me, Virtual reality is changing everything today, I've noticed that from my own home, I can simply play the game in real physics with hundreds of players from all around the world, even making new friends with some of them, play a variety of games either against them (real people)or against the AI (artificial intelligence). also I have complete control over every element of gameplay including the environments and the avatars mean more freedom. the Metaverse is our new reality, The smart phone would melt in this realty The glasses would be our new smart phones, It’s just a matter of time the advancement in technology and the trillions of dollars spend on this idea from very important companies make this happen. ————————————————————— Mohammad Alsubie

The Metaverse; —————————————————— First time i used the VR was in 2015, compare it to now it was very primitive, nowadays they call it the Metaverse, The term metaverse originated in Neal Stephenson's 1992 novel Snow Crash, in this article I would like to tell you why you should care, in short: The metaverse is a 3D version of the internet, that can be accessed via virtual reality headsets . imaging In the metaverse, everything from email to web browsing will be in 3D. There is still some disagreement as to what a metaverse would looks like, but there are several plausible candidates for metaverse experiences. metaverse is a huge virtual world, inhabited by many people. It's a place where you can build your own house and workplace, interact with other people. Metaverse is also known as internet 3.0 because it provides opportunities to communicate, play or work together with other people from all over the world from your living room. In the metaverse you can become an Actor, Influencer Dancer- do anything that pleases you! All this possibilities are developed due to technologies such as blockchain . metaverse allows us to create digital identities , store information about ourselves and our transactions safely and transparently using cryptography , have access to financial services etc. after several weeks literally living in this world ,here's what to expects : 1- Cinema : You may make your VR headset into a personal theater and if I said theater, I mean the IMAX Cinema yes this level. Not only that, but you may invite your friends to watch films (or series) with you each one of you from their homes but you experience the same thing at the same time, In the near future, you won't have to travel to the closest theater to see movies. You'll be able to do that from your own couch. just imagine I invite all of you to my theater so we can watch episodes of the Twilight Zone together it would be surrealist, *** 2- GYM : You may use Virtual reality as a workout station for most cardio exercises, such as boxing, dancing, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which will make you sweat buckets (I assure you) if you're an introverted type like me. This is definitely for you, no need to drive to the nearest GYM or get caught by the busiest hours of the day every time you decide to go, You can do all of your exercises from the comfort of your own home and you'll know whether you're performing them correctly or not, as well as how many calories you've burned. *** 3- Trading Platform: Is this not a wonderful thing? You can build your own world where there your own house(you may purchase them with actual cash by the way) and live your fantasies. since the world is so digitized, you can also make a lot of money selling digital items (NFT crypto, etc.) for example In this world, you can buy not only your own house also the furniture with every details and you could sale it, you can also make a lot of money selling digital items even opening your own shop.in this environment a lot of endless possibilities. *** 4-Travel Machine: You may visit anywhere on the world place or time, do you want to experience how they built the Colosseum in Rome, you want to see how Prague street's look like in 1570s, you dream trip to to the Antarctica, what about meditate on the moon, roam around Ecuador. Visit the pyramids, Leshan Giant Buddha, or the museum of Van Gogh in Amsterdam how about rebuild the Hanging Gardens of Babylon ,even walking in the same cities you visited before, I just visit my own apartment from a previous life's and relive a lot of memories; not even in my wildest imagination, did I think I would be able to do all that from a headset. ***

There isn't anything to make a mystery of This. If any such thing happens to an individual, he's not concerned with direct communion of the soul with God or any such thing. Then what then is the effect of This on conduct of an individual? It affects not only the conduct of the individual but the totality of the human....being. It is bound to affect others too. As the saying goes, "You cannot light a candle and hide it under the bushel". What do I think of Krishnamurti? His state of being..it being..cannot be different from that of those of the sages, saints, and saviours of mankind. The abstractions he throws at people is a kind of trick, as it were, to trick you into that state of mind where the mind comes to a stop, a sudden stop, and where something can happen. But if you repeat those phrases, it becomes a mere twaddle, a drivel, gibberish. They haven't got much substance. You might as well quote the Bhagavad Gita, or the Bible, or even Koran, or any one of these scriptures that doesn't make any difference at all. If I've added one more, a new set of phrases, that's all there is to it. Why repeat those phrases? Why talk of flowers? Where the eyes look at them and the ears listen to them, you are out of this structure once and for all. You will never ask these questions once again. What is there behind and beneath those abstractions that Krishnamurti throws at people? Is there anything at all? As a mind view, as a mind concept, as a mind vision, as a mind image, or even as a sanguine expectation, they sound marvelous. They're very charming words. If you really knew it, I don't think you would even want it. It is a dynamite. It isn't a thing to play with. Do I know it? What a question..Hah ..I really don't know. Your guess is as good as mine. If I tell you it is the same, what value has it? If I tell you it isn't the same, it has no value either. But why put these questions to ourselves? What is the way of knowing It, whether be it his or anybody else's? You have absolutely no way of knowing it. If by some luck, you stumble into it, it would be a completely and totally bewildering and puzzling sort of affair. You won't even bother to compare it with anybody else's.It isn't going to be the same...it isn't going to come about the way you imagine it, "spiritual awakening" or whatever you call it, isn't going to come about in the way you imagine it. It will come about contrary to all your imaginings. It will come about in a very simple and quite an unexpected way. But anyway, what exactly IT is...Can you tell me what IT is that you are seeking? Or that you want it? Or that you are trying to find out? Can you tell me? To change the entire structure and thought of civilization isn't an easiest thing. That means the very foundations on which the superstructure of our civilization rests must be shattered. That can't be done very easily, and that can't be done without a change in our intellectual and religious outlook. And the very educational system must change. But it's easy to say all that. Unless an individual changes, there isn't going to be any change at all, and even that change, must be one without volition. And that requires tremendous and arduous understanding. If it were that simple, with all the descriptions we have in the Hindu and Buddhist scriptures, everyone in India would have been a great yogi. For surely we have 8 million Sadhus wandering all over the country. There are so many claimants, to what you call the spiritual enlightenment, that the result that you don't know who is actually enlightened, or who is really and genuinely an authentic soul who has this spiritual awakening. Western disciples seem to be the measure of the greatness of a spiritual teacher these days. They have tremendous following in Europe, in America, and all over the world. Trotting around the world, talking to these people, has become very fashionable. UG Krishnamurti —————————————————————————- Mohammad Alsubie

Unique Early Talk By UG Krishnamurti In 2009 She sent me a link for an eastern philosopher named JIddu Krishnamurti. It was a green website with a lot of audio files and videos; lectures, as well as interviews. The more I watch his videos the more I couldn't follow him at all,his language was unique, with abstract idea, and almost devoid of examples. So I start searching the web for some explanation to his philosophy, and the first name show up was U. G Krishnamurti* (even though they both have similar last names but they both are not relatives but important to know they both worked in The Theosophical Society of Blavatsky) At first, I realized how different this individual is from the others, he has a completely different worldview. he was resolute, as Schopenhauer philosophy between nihilism and extremism. Here are some notes from what I've gathered from his Lectures: 1- he has a unique viewpoint on enlightenment and how it is presented to the world. 2- according to him there is no such thing as philosophical enlightenment, there are no intellectual solutions to be found for those questions because there are no philosophical issues to ask and no answers to give them. 3-he believes there is no such thing as truth or perfection. People will be able to solve all of their difficulties if they simply accept nature in its entirety. 4- Many people thought him one of the "enlightened ones," but he refused to be labeled as such. 5- the desire to continuously alter, develop, and improve is impossible and futile. 6-His concept of the mind and the psyche is only one of a kind. He believed that the psyche, or the mind, does not exist as a being, but rather it is a demand of the self to bring about a change in this world. 7- According to him, the industry of gurus and spiritual healers is growing because people are seeking answers to their phony questions of enlightenment and salvation. The search for these answers is implanted in them through a manufactured cultural environment. 8- For him, the goal of enlightenment is unapproachable, and self-realization is futile because there are no goals and there is nothing to discover in the self. Whatever is happening in the world is just happening. U.G. Krishnamurti died on March 22, 2007, in Vallecrosia italt . here is very rare and unique talk by him about enlightenment and Jiddu Krishnamurti : ———————————————————————————— Some stroke of luck, or by grace of God if you will. I have come by or stumbled into a new state of being. Rather I would say, I find myself awakened....to a whole new way of life. My prayer used to be, "Oh god, if there is a God, why hast thou forsaken me?" It has now only changed into something like this: "Oh God, if there is a God"..That bit "if there is a God" still remains unchanged.."Why hast Thou chosen to bestow all Thy divine favours on me?" But to describe in such terms as illumination, enlightenment, or even by the sanskrit word "moksha" or liberation, or even to use those fanciful words, first and last freedom, radical mutation, is to miss the point. It isn't a revealed religious truth. Or even, what we refer to as one beyond human intellect. There isn't anything mysterious about it. It is not what people talk of. As the spiritual apprehension of truth is intellectually incomprehensible. There is nothing mysterious about it. What has happened to me is a pure and simple physical phenomena. Somehow, the machinations of the mind have come to a stop. And the senses have started functioning or operating in a pure and simple way. That, itself, is an extraordinary thing. It is not a question of enlightenment, spiritually or intellectually, or in any form..Or to use that vulgar expression "get religious". There is nothing to get converted to any belief, or to any monastic state, or even to sit rapt in meditation seeking absorption into God or the Infinite or whatever you call it. It isn't a tale imagining or accounting a world in which ourselves do not exist. It isn't any inexplicable affair..It is an explicable affair.

Seven Disciplines That Change My Life, chapter 0 I write this to keep track of the changes in my life, and by sharing it, I hope to give or find motivation for others. Your beliefs change your destiny! Your mind is a magnificent machine. Thoughts lead to feelings; feelings lead to actions; actions lead to habits; habits lead to character; character leads to your destiny (or fortune). The thoughts you think and the words you speak set in motion creative forces that can transform your life at will. As you continue through life, always be mindful of what sort of person you are being by watching your manner of speech and the content of your conversations. Make a conscious effort not to gossip or complain about other people, because what goes around comes around, and negativity breeds more negativity *** by my birthday of 2018 I was in depression, broken soul, depend on others, no job, no money, no love, no hope, no home, no car, seeing the life from a very narrow negative window, living loops of my pasts, feeling guilty all the time, blaming myself, felt like I'm not worthy, add to that; I was overweight, and couldn't accept losing the love of my life (back then), *** by my birthday of 2021 living the best time of my life, flying with joy, I'm independent, I have a great job, Financially very stable, new love and passions, my own car, my own apartment, seeing life from a wide-angle in a positive way, living only in the moments, taking responsibility for everything in my life, I'm successful and influential, I have the perfect shape body, I'm accepting whatever life gives me, good or bad, but how did all this happen, most important, when it happens! *** there are a lot of flaws in me, especially on my personalty, the way I function and think, fear rooted inside of my heart, that why I lie a lot (no wonder ), I hated life so much, even think a lot of going suicide Once upon a time, I was broken-hearted, crying alone on my bed, it was cold, dark and nobody there, *** in 2018 I had the chance to live in Cairo, Egypt, for almost three months, spending a lot of time in Azbakia bookstores, I didn't know how much I was a good actor until then (a big lair, in fact) because of my looks (a Turkish heritage), I was acting as I came from Syria, a person who just came from the war, I even go all the way watching a lot of Syrian TV shows, to learn the accent, which was a mix between so many regions, Therefore I can use it with these poor people, So they give me the best prices possible, (sincerely I was seeking empathy ) *** on my birthday in 2018, I remember I was sitting in AL Hussain alone, drinking Turkish coffee eating Feteer meshaltet my mom just texted me telling me that she just met with the mother of my ex, I became nervous, Imagine my daughter see me in this way, even by mistake, That defeated Personality what a loser *** I believe, she either forget about me, or worse, she feels shame that I'm her father, exactly like how I saw my biological father, I believe in karma now, I wish I wish I could fix the past, I was very significant and successful, *** dignity is something that should be cherished and never taken for granted, For me, my dignity was like a precious jewel that I always tried to protect, I never wanted anyone to see me as vulnerable or weak, and I worked hard to maintain my dignity at all times. There were times when dignity was challenging to uphold, especially when I was going through a tough time like these. But no matter what, I never gave up on my dignity, It was one of the most important things to me, and I refused to let anyone take it away from me. *** To Be Continued …. Mohammad Alsubie

Once I came across a dire scientific article, and to my great surprise, I found myself, my family, friends, and even the state there. ⠀ After five hours of continuous reading, there were at least a hundred ways of the art of manipulating people in my head. Spoiler alert: This is not what I'm going to do with you in the rest of the post. ⠀ But this was precisely the moment after which Freud, Carnegie, Hay, and others came into my life, along with invaluable baggage of knowledge, to which I subsequently returned every time I faced reality. ⠀ Here I would like to mention the most significant philosophical thought that fully characterizes my personality and my motives (in case you don’t have the patience to read to the end): Life is an end in itself, an endless series of new experiences. The ability to enjoy the process and not the race for the final result makes us feel the meaning of life. Nevertheless, ambitions are not alien to me, and even with an inattentive examination, you can find that they are very high, at least, I aim to change the world, and this is not such an impossible thing, considering that the world begins with each of us, with a personality ... ⠀ If you analyze a person's life from birth to death, you can find out that the principal value is people and relationships with them. And most of the difficulties he faces also stem from these relationships. Science has made great strides in exploring deep-seated human needs, correcting existing trauma, and teaching the suitable patterns of behavior to prevent new ones from emerging. It would seem that we all know this, and I will not open America to you if I say how important it is. And yet, what do we observe? A complete lack of understanding of one's own and other's boundaries, neurotic sacrifice, codependency and counter dependence, passive aggression, abuse, and cultural heritage passed from generation to generation in the form of a heavy burden of responsibility for the feelings and emotions of other people - and this is only a tiny part of everything that is the norm for most of our fellow citizens. ⠀ The realization of this fact causes feelings of powerlessness and protest at the same time. I think it is almost a crime to remain a passive observer. Therefore, I want to say, even if it is a cry into the void: ⠀ The pursuit of personal happiness is not an act of selfishness! Sacrifice is not equal to nobility! When you do something for someone, hoping for gratitude, it is not love; it is a service. ⠀ Remember this and stop lying to yourself and manipulating the guilt of your loved ones. ————————————————————- Milan Yusupova

Star Trek 🖖🏻? ————————————————————- I can't call myself a nerd when it comes to Star Trek show, but something there made me want to to see more, each character, each personality, each season, the timeline, the lore, how humanity would become, extraterrestrial life, the infinity of the space, in the 1980s, Star Trek was the background of my childhood, I remember it very well because I was waiting for it to finish so the Voltron Anime, That was on Dharan Aramco TV Channel, the 3rd channel in Saudi Arabia, At that time I find it dull a lot of dialogs less actions, years pass, one day I was watching a philosophy lecture by a thinker from America; I guess, he mentioned the star trek show, explain it not from an ordinary person perspective, but from a thinker philosophical point of view, and what I heard shocked me, he talks about the idea of god, in one of the episodes, protagonists will meet with a being with superpowers, almost like a god, the idea here is that this person is just human, but from a very far advanced civilization, between him and us millions of years, like the one between us and the amoeba in development, thank about it; if someone from the 1500s met with us, he would think we are some witchers, with all achievements in technology we Accomplished so far, therefore god is just a person (a being ) far advanced than us, this is one of many questions this show try to ask here I decided to watch it, and it was the best decision I made that year, what I discovered what I saw in that show made me rethink my life who am i, here some reasons why you should consider watching Star Trek too: 1- from a writer perspective, the story is so deep, complex, rich, connecting in twists way, like a huge puzzle, each episodes with all there differences in plants or timeline, yet you would find a thin invisible line contact all of them, therefore everything is matters and important, 2- the story has a lot of hope for humanity future, a future not about the apocalyptic and the end of the world, it is about discovery and meaning of life and meeting with different beings from another timeline and Dimensions sometimes far advanced than us and sometimes so primitive, 3-the diversity in the characters and how they presented , each one of them represents part of our Consciousness and that represented by colors, for example, anyone wears red cloths represents the emotions the heart the blue represent the logic, and from that, you would figure out why some characters act in a Certain way. 4- Star Trek started in the 1960s; however, their universe had cellphones, tablets, an idea similar to Wikipedia, and face time before their Invention in 40 years. That makes you wonder how futuristic it was. ——————————————————— Mohammed Alsubie
