Six Lazy Ways to Trick Your Brain Into Being Productive La Réalité de l'Univers : une gigantesque illusion - Le Blog de THIAKAM Et le plus intéressant avec ce principe de l’hologramme est que tout ce qui se passe dans cette univers holographique n’est qu’une projection. (jetez un coup d’œil sur le schéma : dés qu’on change par exemple la face du dé7 l’hologramme change aussi systématiquement c’est logique) c’est comme si vous vous regardez dans un miroir, chacun de vos mouvements est répété sur le miroir. Il est obligatoire dans le dogme islamique de croire en la prédestination (Al Qada wal Qadar) c’est à dire que tout dans l’univers est déjà écrit et préservé dans une table bien gardée. Le principe de l’hologramme nous le prouve ici. En d’autres termes tout événement qui survient dans notre univers physique, l’est du fait qu’il survient d’abord dans la vraie dimension. Dans quel état selon vous, se trouvera une telle personne qui quitte ce monde pour aller dans l'au-delà en étant aveugle toute sa vie de ce qu'elle est, de ses propres capacités, de qui est son Seigneur.

Mâyâ : l’illusion Au départ Depuis des temps immémoriaux, diverses philosophies et idéologies véhiculent l’enseignement selon lequel le monde où nous vivons n’est qu’illusion, que le tissu de notre réalité n’est en fait qu’un mirage issu de notre imagination. Dans la philosophie védique, la Mâyâ est l’illusion d’un monde physique que notre conscience considère comme la réalité. De nombreuses philosophies et recherches spirituelles cherchent à « lever le voile » afin d’apercevoir la vérité transcendante. Dans le sikhisme, la Mâyâ – le monde tel qu’on le perçoit normalement – n’est pas plus tangible qu’un rêve. Les Enseignements de la Tradition abondent aussi en ce sens, stipulant que la race humaine vit dans un profond sommeil, dans une sorte de transe hypnotique qui lui fait croire qu’elle est éveillée alors qu’il n’en est rien. P.D. En règle générale, l’homme peut connaître quatre états de conscience. Rêve, illusion, Mâyâ, conscience relative, sommeil… d’accord. Nos sens Télécharger au format MP3

An Ingenious Cookbook Uses Infographics Instead Of Words How do you make lasagna? Even though it’s not that complex of a dish, to spell out the methodology--the specific ingredients and the many small, easy steps of prep work--it would take me half a page of type or more. But for designer/illustrator Katie Shelly, writer of Picture Cook: See. Make. Eat., the recipe for lasagna looks a lot different. Of course, illustration isn’t a new idea in cookbooks--drawings that show finder details of technique like dicing onions are mainstays in classic food tomes. “She started by saying ‘well first you get out three bowls …’ and so it was natural to just draw the three bowls in that moment, and then I stuck with drawing the rest of the recipe on this little scrap of paper,” Shelly tells Co.Design. From there, she pushed the idea further, drawing on a background in UX testing to create recipes and spot where her testers (friends) may may potentially go wrong. Picture Cook won’t be released until October. Buy it here.
