That is to say, we train ourselves, again and again, in order to better ourselves. If not, the skills we have come to rely on will whither away. We keep reading to increase our knowledge, we keep exercising to increase our stamina and we keep practicing music to transform our bodily movements into beautiful symphony. We set limits in order to surpass them, so we can transcend the ordinary and look back from a new height. And so, if you look closely, the differences we see between phenomena are just different dialects of the same language: the language of repetition...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.highexistence.com/repetition-bubbles-and-immune-systems/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>9</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Other Side of Polyphasic Sleep</title><link>http://www.highexistence.com/the-other-side-of-polyphasic-sleep/</link> <comments>http://www.highexistence.com/the-other-side-of-polyphasic-sleep/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:24:18 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martijn Schirp</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Health & Fitness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sleep]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.highexistence.com/?p=4513</guid> <description><![CDATA[About a year ago I found myself with a lot of free time on my hands. So I decided to cheat on sleep. An internet meme knocked on my door called 'polyphasic sleep' and rumour has it that by switching your sleep rhythm from monophasic (six to nine hours in one stretch) or biphasic (5-6 hours and a single afternoon nap) to polyphasic (many naps spread evenly) will increase the time of your waking life  (some even reported as few as three of sleep hours on the Uberman Sleep Schedule) while also give you a boost in focus, stamina, creativity and energy. These reports were strengthened by anecdotes that Leonarda da Vinci, Buckminster Fuller and Thomas Edison were proponents of polyphasic sleep....]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.highexistence.com/the-other-side-of-polyphasic-sleep/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>17</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Thinking Within Paradoxes</title><link>http://www.highexistence.com/thinking-within-paradoxes/</link> <comments>http://www.highexistence.com/thinking-within-paradoxes/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:22:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Peter Westermann</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Elevate Yourself]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Philosophy]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.highexistence.com/?p=4521</guid> <description><![CDATA[I read a few years ago somewhere that a hallmark of a genius is being able to hold opposites together and transcend them.

You want me to drive 10 hours to meet a guy for 2 hours? Can't I just call him or something?!?"It seemed like a gigantic waste of my time, but he was the boss and I, the employee, so I had to obey. (Note: I have since kissed the corporate life goodbye)That night, I sat at my desk. I decided I had to find a way to make this trip somehow productive, entertaining, and even memorable…There had to be a way…]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.highexistence.com/how-to-learn-enjoy-life-more-power-of-audio-learning/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>36</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Science of Meditation</title><link>http://www.highexistence.com/the-science-of-meditation/</link> <comments>http://www.highexistence.com/the-science-of-meditation/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:40:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martijn Schirp</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Health & Fitness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Science & Tech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spirituality & Consciousness]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.highexistence.com/?p=4466</guid> <description><![CDATA[Over the past few hundred years the power of organized religion has steeply declined in the west.

Do you find fault with most aspects of your life? Do you talk to others like that? Would let anyone talk to you like that? When we stop to listen to what our minds are telling us, it’s shocking to realize how much of it is negative. It may seem overwhelming and leave you feeling powerless over your mind and the direction it wants to lead you. Prior to 20 years ago, we thought the brain was hard-wired and fixed, but we now know that from birth to the end of life, our mind is constantly changing and our thoughts are more powerful than we ever imagined guiding the steps in our lives...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.highexistence.com/its-all-in-your-head-how-to-take-advantage-of-neuroplasticity/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>33</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>8 Ways to Get a Morning Headstart</title><link>http://www.highexistence.com/8-ways-to-get-a-morning-headstart/</link> <comments>http://www.highexistence.com/8-ways-to-get-a-morning-headstart/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 27 Dec 2011 16:55:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martijn Schirp</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Random + Awesome]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.highexistence.com/?p=4384</guid> <description><![CDATA[Getting up early every day to start the day off right has a huge effect on the rest of our day. Unfortunately we can not always completely trust our morning selves, especially if we are lying in a warm cozy bed and there is no immediate pressure to get up (Or we can <b>delude ourselves</b> with pressing 'snooze'.) To combat this, a healthy and balanced morning routine works wonders, and especially <b>doing it for 30 days</b> to make it a habit. A morning routine sets the tone for the whole day to come. The goal is to work on what's important instead of reacting to what's being asked of you. Such a personal ritual will put us in the right mindset and help to avoid morning procrastination.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.highexistence.com/8-ways-to-get-a-morning-headstart/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>32</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
