Showing results for "Being" in Biological Sciences

Understanding our humanity - the essence of who we are - is one of the deepest mysteries and biggest challenges in modern science. Why do we have bad moods? Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

This is a tale of discovery, exploring why and how we have developed as we have. This is your story, told as never before.

Wir sind ohne Zweifel ein Wunder der Evolution. Unsere außergewöhnlichen körperlichen Eigenschaften und unsere Innovationen haben unsere Zivilisationen geschaffen. Aber wir sind auch zutiefst fehlerbehaftet. Unsere Körper brechen, ersticken und versagen, ob wir nun Könige oder Bauern sind. Krankheiten durchkreuzen unsere kühnsten Pläne, unsere Psyche ist die Ursache für schreckliche Entscheidungen in Krieg und Frieden. Diese faszinierende Widersprüchlichkeit ist die Essenz des Menschseins: die Summe unserer Schwächen und unserer Stärken, zwischen denen sich die Historie bewegt.

Creation gave us 5 elements. Water, fire, earth, air and Æther. Water; the element of everlasting change, flow and depth. Expressed through our Emotions, and our ability to let go. Fire, the element of death and rebirth. Alchemizing us from one state of matter into the other; like the phoenix from the ashes. Earth, grounding us into this experience, stabilizing our being into stillness amongst the chaos. Air, fleeting thoughts through our minds, cutting like a blade, or breezing like a blow (ausatmen). And finally Æther; allowing all the elements to work together, enabling us the staircase ...

Hosted by Erik Jampa Andersson, author of 'Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World is More than Human' (Hay House, 2023), Unseen Beings takes listeners on a journey of natural recovery, unravelling our lost threads of enchantment with the living world to uncover what it really means to be human in a more-than-human world.
