Stoicism and Buddhism, while emerging from very different cultural and philosophical backgrounds, share several key principles that guide individuals towards a life of happiness and inner peace. Below we explore some of the most prominent commonalities between the two philosophies: 1. Emphasis on Self-Control and Discipline Stoicism
By adopting practices and perspectives from both Stoic and Buddhist philosophies, individuals can navigate towards a path of happiness and inner peace, characterized by acceptance, understanding, and compassion. Both philosophies foster resilience, equanimity, and a deep understanding of oneself and the nature of reality, helping individuals live fulfilling and peaceful lives. PS.

#Plato taught in his book, “The Republic”: "Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul." Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, held a deep respect for the power of music and believed it played a significant role in the shaping of character and the soul. In this week’s episode, I will share with you, a piece of music that has been derived from the Golden Ratio measurements of the Acropolis of Athens! That’s right~! You will be able to listen to the music that comes from the Golden Ratio measurements of the Acropolis of Athens!

There are many fascinating clinical studies about the power of music on humans, animals and plants…The one I want to focus on today is that of Japanese geneticist Suzumu Ono, who in 1986 discovered DNA music by converting the nucleotide bases G T C and A to the musical notes A C G and D respectively. This intriguing Revelation led to the question: If DNA can be translated into music, can music in turnaffect or change our DNA? Sound as we now know possesses mass and has the ability to vibrate matter. By delving into the study of “Cymatics” and exploring the potential effects of music on DNA, we can begin to uncover the possibility of utilizing music as a healing tool. Incidentally, the word “Cymatics” derives from the Greek word, “Kyma” which means “Wave”. The DNA-Music Connection demonstrated by Dr.Ono’s ground- breaking research who translated the DNA sequences into melodious compositions, opened a door to a realm of unexplored possibilities. By associating specific musical notes with nucleotide bases Ono revealed the inherent musicality encoded within our genetic blueprint. This discovery not only ignited fascination but also prompted profound questions about the reciprocal relationship between DNA and the music. If DNA the fundamental blueprint of life can be transformed into music, what potential influence could music have on our genetic code? Ono's approach of converting DNA into harmonious melodies highlighted the underlying connection between the complex language of genetics and the universal language of Music. Now let’s circle back to the Golden Ratio and the healing music of the Parthenon in the Acropolis of Athens. As you may recall, The Golden Ratio, often represented by the Greek letter ϕ (phi), is an irrational number that possesses many interesting properties and appears in various fields such as mathematics, art, architecture, and nature. There are many characteristics and occurrences of the Golden Ratio which we can’t go into detail on this video, but we will focus on Nature, Art and Architecture: The Golden Ratio can be found in various aspects of the natural world, including the arrangement of leaves on plants, the branching of trees, the spiral structure of shells, galaxies and even our own face and body proportions. The Golden Ratio is also found in famous artworks and architectural designs, including the Parthenon in Athens and the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Golden Ratio not only makes these buildings more aesthetically pleasing, it has been observed over thousands of years that merely being near these buildings trigger a sense of inner harmony. It’s interesting to note here that the word “harmony” is derived from the Greek word, “Armonia”, and the word “Music” is derived from the Greek word for “Muse”... The Nine Muses of the ancient Greeks are goddesses of the arts and sciences. They were believed to inspire humans in various endeavors from music and poetry to astronomy; Each Muse has a specific domain of influencing humans. The Muses were considered the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (the goddess of memory)...In other words the right music can make us remember something about who we are and where we came from…As in, the origin that’s hidden in our DNA. The Greeks built the Parthenon with such dimensions, as the Golden Ratio, as a way to recall their Source Energy. You can imagine the Parthenon as something of a ‘Cosmic Harp’ that resonates with your DNA, triggering a type of “Gateway Process”...through synchronizing the brain hemispheres. As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “Music is liquid architecture; architecture is frozen music” So now, enough theory, it’s time for you to enjoy a taste of this universal, “Music of the Spheres” as Plato called it, that the Parthenon transmits. To listen to this recording I recommend you use headphones or earpods, and that you are in a safe, comfortable postition, preferably dark space, lying on your back, with your body ‘spread’, like Leonardo Davinci’s “Vitruvian Man”… You can listen to the first 15 minutes of the music now, and invest in the 3 hour version from the website link below. Please prepare for a deeply relaxing ‘tripp’ through what I call “The Acropolis Star-GateWay”...
Female bullying, refers to any aggressive, intimidating, or hostile behavior directed by one or more females towards another . It manifests in various ways: verbal abuse, social exclusion, spreading rumors, undermining work, sabotaging career opportunities.
The motivations behind female bullying may include factors like competition for promotions, jealousy, perceived threat to one's position or authority, personal conflicts, or a toxic work environment. In this week's episode, you will learn more about it and how to overcome your own fears and insecurities.
Employers should establish clear policies and procedures to prevent and manage it. Strategies include:
-Establishing a zero-tolerance policy for workplace bullying. -Encouraging open communication, providing a safe space for employees to report incidents of bullying. -Training employees and managers on recognizing and dealing with workplace bullying. -Investigating all reported incidents promptly, taking appropriate actions to address the issue. -Promoting a positive and respectful workplace culture that values diversity and cooperation.

(JOY) In other words, focus on the feeling or 'vibration' that you want in the future, but in the HERE AND NOW... This is different from "Law of Attraction", where you focus on GRATITUDE...

What is Spiritual Awakening? Applying Stoicism to Escape the Matrix ! For so many years I felt like I was trapped in suffering and I didn't know how to get out of this suffering, anxious stressful feeling that would come and go that would come to me especially at night… It would keep me up at night… It would make me anxious in Social settings, making me feel like I wasn't good enough and I know people feel a sense of suffering anxiety overwhelming stress today.. How can we overcome or eliminate stress and suffering and anxiety in our lives when it seems to be crippling us?
Usually if you are not conscious of how your mind operates and many people still are not conscious of how their mind operates, they blame that is all the source of their troubles outside themselves. No matter how much you practice positive thinking which is of course a wonderful thing to do, there will always be things that are problematic; life always challenges you no matter what stage you're at in your life you get new challenges even if you are highly conscious or in let's say enlightened even the enlightened person still gets challenged by life situations. The beginning of an ‘awakening” for people out of their suffering is the the realization that most of the psychological suffering arises from stories that you tell yourself in your mind about situations… Stories or narratives that you are telling yourself about your life or your life situation. In this video, I share with you a practical exercise I recommend for the next time you find yourself in a situation in which suffering arises…
In this week's episode of. #AlkistisTV on YouTube, I discuss how the levels of consiousness are related to the levels of love, comparing with Platonic Love... Platonic love (in the original sense of the term) is examined in Plato's dialogue the Symposium, which has as its topic the subject of love or Eros generally, but is a metaphor for levels of consciousness. In the Symposium, Plato explains the possibilities of how the feeling of love began and how it has evolved—both sexually and non-sexually. Of particular importance is the speech of Socrates, relating the idea of platonic love as attributed to the prophetess Diotima, which presents it as a means of ascent to contemplation of the divine. For Diotima, and for Plato generally, the most correct use of love of other human beings is to direct one's mind to love of divinity. In short, with genuine Platonic Love, the beautiful or lovely other person inspires the mind and the soul and directs one's attention to spiritual things. Socrates, in Plato's "Symposium", explained two types of love or Eros—Vulgar Eros or earthly love and Divine Eros or divine love. Vulgar Eros is nothing but mere material attraction towards a beautiful body for physical pleasure and reproduction. Divine Eros begins the journey from physical attraction i.e. attraction towards beautiful form or body but transcends gradually to love for Supreme Beauty. This concept of Divine Eros is later transformed into the term "Platonic love"; As our consciousness expands, so does our love...
Epicurus, the Greek philosopher said that :
"It is not so much our friends' help that helps us as much as our confident knowledge that they will help us." In other words, what "helps" us is the reassuring idea that , "If I ever needed this friend, she or he would be there for me. I can depend on them..." Why? Because friends, (even brand new ones) share common values, like for example, with my friends, we share the deep rooted values of Greek philosophy, like Virtue, Integrity, Courage and Kindness.
