Book Review: Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance by G.E. Poole

Introduction What if consciousness is not simply something produced by the brain? What if human beings are participants in a much larger experiment of consciousness? And what if science, spirituality, philosophy, music, mathematics and ancient wisdom are all approaching parts of the same mystery from different directions? These are some of the ambitious questions at the heart of Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance by G.E. Poole. This is not a conventional book about spirituality, nor does it fit comfortably within science, philosophy or psychology. Instead, Poole deliberately travels between these territories, asking readers to consider possibilities that may challenge their existing understanding of consciousness, morality, suffering, human development and even reality itself. Perhaps the best way to approach this book is through its own underlying philosophy: don’t simply believe—investigate. Ten Ideas That Make Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance Very Different One of the boo...

The Ant Philosophy By Jim Rohn

The Ant Philosophy By Jim Rohn

Introduction:

Ants are popularly known to be the most laborious creatures known to human beings. We all have heard several hard work and commitment stories of Ants from our elders or have read them in comics or various storybooks. Jim Rohn has given ‘The Ant Philosophy’ wherein he talks about the Ant’s 4 step process to success. It’s a simple yet powerful philosophy and can be followed in our daily lives.

4 steps of Jim Rohn’s ‘The Ant Philosophy that lead to success:

1. Ants never quit.
According to Jim Rohn, the first step of the process to achieve success given in ‘The Ant Philosophy’ is to Never Give Up. Ants do not quit. If they are heading in some direction towards something, they won’t stop and find another way if you try to stop them. They’ll try to move to the sides, climb over or go under, etc., to find a way. They never quit looking for a way to get to the place where they want to go. Even if you squish an anthill, they build it again, no matter how many times you do that.
2. Ants think winter all summer.
Ant’s perspective towards the future is very important. They aren’t so naive to think that the summer will last forever. In ‘The Ant Philosophy’, Jim Rohn mentioned that the ants start gathering their food for the winters in the middle of summer. In life, it’s really important to be realistic. One should always think ahead.
3. Ants think summer all winter.
In the opinion of Jim Rohn, the Ants have a futuristic approach in their life. The Ant Philosophy talks about this important step of the process to success wherein during the winter, the ants keep reminding themselves that, these winters won’t last long and soon they’ll be out of their holes. The Ants come out of their holes where they stayed in the winters on the first warm day. They dive back down if it turns cold again, but then they come out as soon as the first warm day arrives.
“I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.” — Jim Rohn
4. Ants think “all-you-possibly-can.”
According to Jim Rohn’s ‘The Ant Philosophy’, the Ants think of collecting as much food as they can. They don’t have any fixed quota or a fixed limit as to the amount of food that needs to be collected. They collect ‘all they possibly can’. They don’t have any “good enough” philosophies. And hence they don’t head back to the hole to hang out after collecting a certain amount of food. If they can do more, they do it.

Summary:

So the Ant’s four steps of the process to success given by Jim Rohn in ‘The Ant Philosophy teaches us the philosophy of never giving up, looking ahead, staying positive, and doing all you possibly can.
Ants are amazing creatures with the ability to lift things that are 20 times heavier than their body weight, running as fast as a racehorse, etc. They have two stomachs out of which, one is to hold food for themselves and one is to share with others. They leave a trail of scent whenever they find a good source of food for the other ants in the colony to find it.
The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn can be followed in our everyday lives. We tend to admire great people and try to learn their secrets of success. But in that pursuit, we always forget that the biggest lessons of our lives come from very small things around us.
Jim Rohn keenly observed the behavior of ants and then gave the four key lessons of ‘The Ant Philosophy’ that can help us to improve ourselves and lead better lives.

Why Greek Athletes Imagined Losing Before They Won

Introduction Fear has stopped more dreams than failure ever has. Many people believe they struggle because they lack talent, resources, intelligence, or opportunity. In reality, the biggest obstacle is often much simpler: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of not being good enough. These fears silently influence decisions every day. They prevent people from speaking up in meetings, starting businesses, applying for promotions, pursuing relationships, or taking risks that could transform their lives. What is fascinating is that thousands of years ago, long before psychology textbooks and neuroscience laboratories existed, ancient Greek athletes had already discovered a powerful method for dealing with fear. Instead of trying to avoid failure, they mentally embraced it. This practice, known as prokatalepsis , was a form of mental preparation that helped athletes free themselves from the emotional grip of fear and perform at their highest level. Today, m...
