POST 10 >> EVALUATION OF BLOG EXPERIENCE / SOME REFLECTIONS.

It had been a very intense semester. All my subjects were well selected, but also they were very demanding. A lot of works and not a single usual test in class, with the relative exception of this english subject. I learnt a lot, that is the best thing that happened in the whole semester. The other great thing that happened is that I felt a lot of connections between the subjects during the semester, which made feel inspired for being feeding the central matter of my interest in the career.
In any case, not everything went so well. From all my semesters, this was by far the one with more delays in works delivery. But I am making it and I feel proud because of that.

About the blog experience, is not weird that it has remained as the main activity of the english subjects, because is funny to customize your own blog and talk about what you want to talk on them, even with some rules. For me is always funny to customize things, and it was interesting to write about some things that reminded me what I like and what I like to do. Nothing else to mention.

POST 9 >> THE TRASCENDENCE OF THE EGO-CONSCIOUSNESS, PART 2 (FREE/THEMED POST)

In the last free post I talked a lot about meditation as a practice, but not too much about its effects, or the concept of trascendence of the ego-conciousness itself. Neurologically speaking, the rest that meditation implies for the brain during the process is a state of mind characterized by a lot of synaptic activity. This could sound like a paradox, but it isn't. Something similar happens during the sleeping, with the exception that during the sleeping we can barely have control of what happens, and sometimes we have bad dreams or a very bad sleeping. It's very interesting the point about the aware quality of meditation. Some research shows how during meditation people learn to have a better control of their emotions, a more easy encounter with a lot of situations and a more prudent interpretation of some things. However, there are some studies that show that these results are, in most part, culturally influenced in the sent of a intentioned meditation. In other words, these studies said that meditation could be or not a budist practice. In any case, there are more research that shows other interesting results. One of the most importants, is the proven growing of grey matter in the brain during meditation. This is very interesting because it could be interpreted as an intelligence evolution during meditation because of a proliferation of neuronal connections. About this, my brother said to me once: "evil people can also meditate and became more intelligent". In any case, "intelligence" is a very complex concept.

Well, one more time I have run out of words, so, next time I'll talk about the concept itself. Farewell!
