PENTAMENT- Stories from the human world with BELLA VOLEN
PENTAMENT, 10-30 minutes stories & ideas from the human world. A podcast with many different angles, sometimes about history, philosophy, art and culture, initiation rituals, science & business. About everything, which touches my mind and heart. My name is Bella Volen. I am a professional artist and a dedicated learner of new skills.
When the telephone was first introduced, it marked a significant change in human communication. For the first time, the visual and auditory aspects of communication were separated, leading to people doodling while speaking on the phone. However, with the advent of smartphones, distant communication became visual once again.
Today, I want to shed light on a lesser-discussed aspect of AI: it's potential to heal and reduce the pain caused by traumatic events. Allow me to share some vulnerable experiences to convey this idea authentically.
This episode is based on scientific information and research about the sense of smell. I have only collected the information for a keynote presentation on the topic. Now, it is also available as a podcast episode.
The more we understand the human body, the better we know ourselves and the world.
In the crazy contemporary world, full of social media glam, success stories, fake news, self-proclaimed superheroes, and a hipper drive for self-development prosperity, it is often easy not to feel enough. We do know that we are observing the controlled broadcasting personal performance of others, and it still often affects us. The first step toward reducing doubt is realizing there is a problem, and the issue is doubt. We have a lack of trust when the view is gloomy and when we have a lack of transparency. This could also be self-related. Doubt has always been a part of the human world. The unconscious leads, but we feed it. In the podcast, I am sharing many questions for self-reflection, and I hope they will be helpful.
Between the crazy reality of our busy human world and the land of dreams, we pass a portal of two states called Hypnagogic and Hypnopompic hallucinations / images / or states. These are the conditions taking place between wakefulness and sleep. Many psychologists and philosophers throughout the 19th century used hypnagogia as a source of creativity. Early references to hypnagogia are to be found even in the writings of Aristotle.
The term Hypnagogia inclues both states: Hypnagogic defines the period when a person falls asleep.
Hypnopompic describes the period when a person wakes up. Hypnagogia is marked by a high level of both alpha and theta brainwaves.
