From Universe to Human DNA

This past week the news spread across the Internet about two researchers from Kazakhstan who claim that the human DNA carries a secret code imprinted by aliens. Vladimir I. shCherbak and Maxim A. Makukov hypothesized that billions years ago aliens may have left “manufacturer’s stamp” or an intelligent “signal” on our DNA so that one day through science we could decode it and discover the real origin of our spices. While this theory is probably inspired by some of the classic sci-fi movies and the most recent Prometheus, they did make a good point implying that we should focus more attention to exploring our own bodies and our existence on this planet in stead of just searching for answers in Space.

And isn’t that true for everything in life? Most people waste a lot of time on looking for answers about their own existence and purpose in life in other people’s opinions, places and circumstances, while the real truth is much closer then they think. So close that each one of us incorporates that ultimate truth. We are all the questions and answers at the same time. It all comes from within.

Is your moisturizer aging your skin?

Most people have learned by now that excessive exposure to direct sunlight, especially without adequate spf protection, is a major cause of skin aging. But do you know what is the second biggest skin aging contributor? It’s not nicotine or alcohol.

It’s mineral oil or parrafinum liquidum as it is usually classified in the list of ingredients. This petroleum derivative, and also an environmental toxin, can be found in most of the traditional over-the-counter skin moisturizers and make-up.

John Hopkins University named mineral oil in cosmetics as the number two cause of premature skin aging. This ingredient is a result of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil and it is present in approximately 98% of cosmetic/personal care products on the US market today. When applied on the skin, mineral oil forms a barrier between skin and beneficial ingredients from the product. It also blocks the pores and prevents the skin from absorbing moisture in a natural way. Without a proper hydration, the cell renewal rate slows down, resulting in faster skin aging.

So if you haven’t already ditched the classic Nivea cream and similar paraffinum based cosmetic products, now is the right time to do it. Instead, choose a natural & organic moisturizer that will keep your skin healthy and young.

From broken pieces to puzzle to being whole

‘Life: The Great Challenge’ was officially recognised as the world’s largest puzzle by the Guinness Book of Records.

A lot of people feel at times like they are not enough, that everything they are or do will never satisfy some incredibly high standards we impose on ourselves. This feeling of not being good enough often creates a picture of a broken person, who struggles to put all pieces together. The truth is that nobody is really broken, we are simply made of different elements of our spiritual, intellectual and physical characteristics that tend to unite and form a beautiful painting, juts like a jigsaw puzzle.

If you look at the box you can see how the final result will look like, just like all of us deep inside know what kind of life we are meant to have. Then when you open the box all you have are pieces to put together, no instructions or shortcuts. Each piece must be perfectly placed next to the previous element, just like each life experience must be a natural stream of lessons and improvement. The good news is that just like playing puzzle games, you don’t have to always do everything on your own. Often life brings us kind and valuable helpers who willingly contribute to the creation of a beautiful and complete picture.

As life is an unpredictable journey, along the way a piece of your puzzle can get lost no where to be found. Those are the moments when you feel frustrated because of the unbalance provoked by just one tiny unpleasant circumstance. And immediately the feeling of not being complete resurfaces.

But did you know that most puzzle manufacturers offer to send you any missing piece so that you can yet again complete your work. All you need is to realize what specific piece you have lost and contact the company. The same can be asked of life. There’s nothing life wants us to be more than simply whole.

Wishing all the best for everyone

We all try to be decent human being and not hold grudges against people that hurt us in some way, but sometimes all we want is justice to be fulfilled and karma to work. What they gave out, should return to them. If they hurt us, they must get hurt too. Then again we also hear all the time that it is part of a personal growth to let go of all the negative feelings and get to the point when we can wish all the best for everyone. But how can you wish good things to bad people?

The truth is that when you wish people good, those that hurt you included, you are wishing the ultimate good for them and that is for them to learn their lessons in order to become better human beings. And to do so, consequences must be paid for all previous actions. That is the only way somebody who is oblivious to his/her actions can learn. So when you wish people good, you are not excluding the bad. You are simply letting life choose the circumstances that will determine the lessons that they will learn, and you can hope that that new knowledge will improve their lives and of those that surround them.
