Stephen Hawking-
One blog that i read about his is on how and ego can be a distored self-regard which is referred to as "inflated consciousness hypnotized by itself and how it can lead to distored relationships. This caught my eye because learning about one selves mind and how relationships work interest me. I read through some of his writings and hes a very smart person who puts his ideas in a manner of making the reader really think about whats hes saying and not letting it be too complicated either. One thing that he said was how was celebrity or famous person cant really make genuine relationships with other people because of their "ego";"image" and self-seeking. What famous people think of themselves is what others around them make them out to be.
Douglas Eby- The article that I read of his is about people and their addictions and why their mind and body do it. He writes about people with exceptional abilities having addictions. This one caught my eye because addictions always intreged me. I always wonder why people cant just stop doing something that they become overally obsessed with and why its so hard for them.. whats going on with the brain REALLY? He talks about many of the artists and authors who were addicts and what drugs they used. It seems to me most of the well known and best artists were addicts. I wonder why that is...
Eric Maisel- One of the articles I read by him is "Making Meaning". He talks about people just wanna find meaning in themselves and their existance. He talks about the strive and struggling of worthy of the man. People want the call waiting to be fulfilled by them. He talks about how meaning making is an arrogant idea. But is it really? This is a misunderstanding of the differnce between standing up for your morals and what you believe in rather then being irrogant about it because he says we all know whatever your morals might be isnot iggnorance. Acting like you are better then other people and acting like you are in the position to condemn are totally different.
