High Existence: Play, Flow & Social Skills
HIGH EXISTENCE
This week we feature an extremely important podcast episode by our friends at High Existence. Their core team members, Mike Slavin, Eric Brown, and Jon Brooks are back with another roundtable discussion in which they discuss the topics of play, flow and social skills.
Play is a vital form of expression that helps one keep their sanity, enter into flow state, ward off depression, and bond with others. Social skills are just that, "skills" and they worsen when we are not practicing them. When we are out of practice we struggle to flow and we lack a childlike playfulness. Flow is when the challenge perfectly matches the skill level, and this state is vital for good mental health.
In this discussion, the team explores the intersection of these topics to spark new ideas and provide guidance on how to make sense of the world. Lots of juice in this episode so make sure to listen all the way to the end!
The Wonder of the Ajna Center
Three biological functions are associated with the Ajna Center: the neocortex, the visual cortex and the pituitary glands. The tiny anterior and posterior pituitary glands, located at the base of the brain act as our body’s maintenance headquarters. They send hormonal messages to the thyroid glands with instructions that keep us alive, on track and functioning optimally. These master glands of the endocrine system are intimately connected to all parts of our body, and it is not surprising that for eons we have lived a mind-dominated life. Although the pituitaries still oversee our entire system, the body’s overall level of conscious awareness has evolved, and the role of the mind has shifted.

19 Awe-Inspiring Aldous Huxley Quotes
Mr Huxley was one of the most profilic, visionary and prophetic thinkers of the 20st century, which is easy to sense in these quotes. Beyond becoming one of the preeminent intellectuals of the 20th century, Huxley also had a prodigious talent for writing. Later in life, Aldous became deeply fascinated by psychedelic/entheogenic substances, on which many of these Aldous Huxely Quotes are based. Enjoy the inspiration!
