- 4. Meditation close your eyes take a deep breath, feel your body bring your attention to your head, imagine the inside. This is the place where you interpret your reality when you wander off, come back to your head then bring your attention to your body, moving downwards to your feet open your eyes when you're ready
- 5. Who am I I'm a Human Being I'm driven by the bigger questions in life: 'who/what am I' 'why am I here' 'what is this reality I find myself in' 'what role does technology play in all of this?' Never stop asking questions, question everything I'm also a walking computer: making sense of all this data: I'm a researcher by nature What are the implications/applications of tech on our humanness, wellness and consciousness? I'm a Techno realist
- 7. What am I? Good question.... Truth Seeker, Thinker, Philosopher, Futurist, Author, Therapist, Coach, Consultant, Speaker, Computer geek, Hermit, Heretic, Cyber Shaman, Adventurer, Holistic Hacker... My drive: introduce new perspectives ask fundamental questions shift perception boost consciousness enter a dialogue
- 8. Who are you? <Will put these in the chat> who are you? (name/location) what drives you? Are you on a mission? what is your profession? what do you love doing in your spare time? what led you to the TransTech space? what inspired you to join this Pod?
- 9. 'Know Thyself is the beginning of all wisdom'
- 10. Know Thyself (1) This is the question that drives me What does it truly mean to be Human? What are we capable of? What is 'real', what can we measure? We only use a fragment of our brain and DNA capacity, see only 0,05% of the visual spectrum. Atoms are mainly 'empty space' and we consist mostly of water. What about our #innertech? Eg. Compassion, Empathy, Consciousness, Imagination, Awareness, Love, Kindness. Our self healing abilities. What about Quantum Science? What about multidimensionality, are monkeys actually our ancestors? Is history accurate?
