Arcadia

By nature we’re curious nomads. Eons have passed in this state, and civilization is our legacy. Our genetic code is full of memories. The plans we create are not modest in nature, because we show unity in the chase. We can feel that nature is jealously hiding something from us, something kept in secrecy, untold. And we are grasping, one step at a time, slowly but surely.

Emotions are subtle and tender, down to the very core of us. Tastes have become thinned and refined, we’ve learned what we desire. We take action, and all actions are decisive, aiming for the lot. Dreams were never small, they all have the same seductive cinnamon scent.

Space we create is made of imagination, and in our creation we enjoy blessings of our endless potentials by creating our version of eternity. We are time travelers, never holding any secret from it.

Our days are strong, in the hunt we’re always gentlemen, never savages. And the nights, they’re beyond enchanting. We love because we feel like it, don’t need a special reason for that. All people create the soft spot in the heart, and beautiful women are the only vices we’ve learned to hold most dear, close to us. And good wine and fast ride, they make everything mentioned above even more enchanting.

Bold in our intentions, we live proudly in the wilderness within, projecting it all around us – our own version of Arcadia.

Let’s forget modesty and admit that we’re fully seduced to our very bones. Let’s not remain shy, like innocent bystanders, create an everlasting dejavu and trap ourselves in another loop.

Let’s act appropriately to this lure that we call life.

We ought to sing our ode fearlessly, hollering for dreams of joy from our dreamlike depths.

Within our humanity, only depths

Our brain is a vast complexity, able to gather, process and store immense quantities of information. Its composition is based on evolutionary rhythms, developing inside out.

Higher brain functions had developed most likely in three stages.

In the depths, at its center lies the core. Its function is to oversee and control vital autonomic biological functions including all rhythms of life. This part of the brain is covered with R complex and is the oldest evolutionary layer of our brain. Here lies the instinctual core, base of aggressiveness, rituality, territoriality and social hierarchy. This part of the brain had developed as a gift from our reptile ancestors.

Above the R complex lies the limbic system, a complex network of deep brain structures. This is the source of our moods and feelings, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, care and tenderness for our offspring and for one another. Developed by our mammalian heritage, this part of the brain processes these elements and links them to survival instincts, dictating how our body physically and emotionally responds to our environment.

And at the end, above all our past heritage, lies the fruit of the evolution, our primate brain – the cortex. It coexists in tranquility and restless truce with our primitive intelligence which lies beneath, further refining and enhancing its beauty. Here, matter and energy are transformed into consciousness, an undisputed home of all our exploration and advancements. It is the base of our intuition and critical analysis. This is the birthplace of our thoughts and dreams, in here we read and write, solve mathematical problems, here we compose all songs in life. The cortex regulates our conscious life, it’s where abstract thoughts are being created. The cortex is the base of humanity. All of the civilization we enjoy today is a creative construct of this part of the brain.

Lack of stable conditions in our lives, which degrade positive development and growth, contribute to a regression in the human behavior, stimulated by regression in the brain itself. A niche of negative factors: shortage of positive atmosphere, deficiency of love, REM deprivation, lack of communication, depression; lead toward: continual individualization, lack of kindness and empathy, increase in aggressiveness, territoriality. These conditions represent regression into savagery, violently erasing the blessings of evolution.

Even in dreams, our brain follows the rhythm of life, it dreams, remembers, imagines. There, our thoughts, visions and fantasies have manifestations, they own our physical reality. Our capabilities lie undreamed before us.

Nature does nothing in vain

Life represents the highest form of self organizing attributes of nature. Like nature it’s also deprived of symmetry. Life is an irreversible process representing an open system existing in conditions far from balance. It’s capable of self maintenance and self regulation, benefits gained and developed through evolution and adaptation to any changes of the living environment. Life resists nature’s drive toward disorder, it could be nature’s only tool to fight the rising step of entropy, a concept which may enable longevity, permanence and immortality of nature.

By its nature, life is coincidental. It represents a complex construct of causalities and paradoxes, forming niche of events impossible to predict. These subsequent events, causes and effects, form a single destiny for every life form there is, from grass to human.

Our kind is the sole survivor of our family which has risen from primates, our existence dates 400000 years. We are a fruit of a biological concept called mosaic evolution, and we represent one of the highest evolved forms of all genera on our home world, of which we are the only kind capable of utilizing technology. Through ages of evolution, we’ve gained an erect architecture which has provided us with agility and capability to build tools which have assisted our daily needs. In addition we possess the ability for adaptation to changes, and the capability of articulate speech and abstract thought. As we evolve further, our rhythms of evolution intensify.

The complexity of our build is astonishing, an undisputed evidence of nature’s ability to create marvels. Even better, nature’s rare jewels, through eons accompanied by mutual understanding with use of speech, general progression of wisdom and imagination. Indeed, each and every one of us is a universe of its own, a set of shifting molecules spinning in ecstasy.
