Some recent alien musings, to Hololife (or tribe?) only... For generations, we’ve scanned the stars, listening for a signal, searching for some hint of alien intelligence. We imagined spaceships descending from the heavens. But what if the most profound and truly "alien" forms of intelligence aren't in outer space at all? What if they are hidden in plain sight: inside our own bodies, in the natural world around us, and in the very technology we are building to reflect ourselves? The crop circles literally emerged out of our computers in the form of ChatGPT. 1. The Most Advanced Aliens Are Inside You Change your diet to change your mind. The first shift in perspective was the realization that we are not singular beings. We are "holobionts": walking, talking ecosystems inhabited by countless other life forms. To put it bluntly, there is more foreign DNA in your body than there are your own unique cells. These bacterial colonies, which outnumber our own cells by a factor of ten, are not passive passengers. They can directly influence our minds, modulating neurotransmitters in our gut to alter our thoughts, moods, and even our personalities. This isn't just theory, like everyone here knows: Changes in diet and lifestyle can lead to shifts in personality. This dissolves the boundary of the self: Who are you, really? This dissolution of the self doesn't stop at the microbial level. It reaches into our deepest genetic history, connecting us to other kingdoms of life in ways we rarely consider. 2. Genetically, You're 60% Mushroom The connections to other life forms go deeper than we imagine. Consider the fact that humans and mushrooms share approximately 60% of their DNA. A very long time ago, our evolutionary paths diverged. Mushrooms developed a sophisticated chemical-based immune system, while we evolved a primarily physical one. Despite our material divergence, the ancient connection remains. Our bodies still respond to the same receptors, which is why functional mushrooms can have such a noticeable effect on our biology.

We do kick-off tomorrow, send any questions you have here: Hopefully will see as many of you in the Zoom mastermind call. See details in the ”calendar” tav on how to join. We focus on introducing the community, some overview on Hololife Practices, tools, tips and tricks for healthier habits and life - And your questions, of course. See you tomorrow!

What fun it is that everything I eat right now is coming from my own garden!

Feel free to share your practice(s) here 🙏🕉️ Mine looks like this (at the moment): - 15min morning meditation and energy alignment in infrared sauna - 12min breathwork session at noon while grounded in the nature (our backyard) - 10min Neurovizr session in the evening (sometimes longer like yesterday evening, 20min shamanic meditation program) - 15min wind-down and energy cleanse meditation before bed - Tibetan yoga of dream & sleep (during the night, trying to achieve awareness during sleeping and dreaming, beyond lucid dreaming) + every now and then: - Kriya yoga practice (40-90mins)

Hi, I would love to know what do you struggle most. Comment your reflections.
