It's not just about throwing things away, it's an aesthetic way of thinking that can guide your life
Disconnection is the aesthetic thinking that guides life
A friend was in a relationship and asked a few people out. I guessed he was going to get drunk and asked everyone to stay with him. To my surprise, when we arrived at his house, he was stable, even calm, just a normal person. While chatting with everyone over tea, he only mentioned that he had lost his love, "I have given up on my life". After hearing that, we consciously stopped talking about it.
As I was going to the toilet, I saw a book on the table with three big words: "Break up". When I saw this, I knew he wasn't pretending to be literary. So I borrowed the book from him and got a good understanding of what a breakup is.
Separation is a popular concept in recent years. Those who haven't understood it, will think that giving up means throwing away the extra stuff. I feel the same way. However, after really understanding detachment, I realized that detachment is not so superficial.
The book Shedding advances layer by layer, telling us what shedding is, why we can't, why we must, and how it works. Finally, it explains how shedding affects us. It even teaches us how to do it, how to sort it out.
Shedding should be about cutting off materialism, giving up waste, and getting rid of the obsession to "leave". From these three points, we can know that the "things" outside the body only account for one, while the "desires" and "thoughts" account for two-thirds, so the focus is on the mind and thoughts. Packing up one's home and throwing away useless things is indeed part of the process of dismantling one's house, and the first step towards dismantling one's house. But renunciation is a kind of thinking, metabolic and aesthetic thinking. When you have a transcendent heart, your life will benefit too, from your actions to your thoughts, you will be refreshed.
There are several reasons why we can't give up, such as being too lazy to tidy up and not wanting to; like throwing it away; and when you think it will come in handy one day. Although these are three different types of people with three different ideas, I believe that most people have two or three ideas mixed in.
The five methods described in the book are the three-part method, the seven-one method, the one-out-one-in method, the one-touch method, and the self-sustaining and self-reliant method. With so many options, there is no reason for you to say, "None of these methods work for me. If you do think that, then I am sorry, you don't need to waste your time. Looking at something you don't agree with or simply don't want to implement is a waste of expression.
It's easier for you to start and finish the first step. After all, giving up the external "thing" is just an action, you can do it if you want to. But for the heart, for the mind, you may be able to sort it out for a while, but it's not so easy to understand it. That's why you need to keep organizing, reviewing, and understanding in depth in this way.
A room is like a life, there is a connection between the two. Cleaning your room is like clearing your mind and uncluttering your heart. Small linings are big, and when we can tidy up our rooms, it is just an intervention point in our tidying up our lives. The book will point them all out for us. The author says, "Tearing down a house is more than just getting rid of waste. It has the power to make life new." The author also says, "Detaching yourself from your house is not simply a matter of disposing of clutter and throwing away waste, but of meeting the cycle of life in the river of human growth with a sense of closure."
The author covers all aspects, explaining and guiding us step by step. It makes us understand as quickly as possible what it means to break up with someone and gives us a new way of thinking. It is not something I can say in a few words, so if you are interested, you should read it for yourself and experience the beauty of parting.
A final quote from a Buddhist master on the life of a breakup. "Everyone will one day lose what is most precious to them. Almost no one can let go at the most crucial moment. Only through constant contact with how to let go in daily life can one accept troubles, even aging, sickness, and death, with openness."

A hammer 140 million years ago? A new evidence that there was a developed civilization before human civilization
It has been proven that many excavated artifacts and fossils show that there was no population of intelligent creatures more advanced and developed than humans before human civilization. However, we have found many incredible objects in the archaeological process, which often give us the illusion that an advanced and developed civilization existed before human civilization.

The Last Embrace of Home
The wind howled through the desolate streets, carrying with it the scent of decay and destruction. It whispered secrets of a world lost to time, of a home that once thrived with life and laughter, now reduced to a mere echo of its former self. Sarah stood at the edge of the crumbling cliff, gazing out at the landscape that had been her sanctuary, her solace, now ravaged by the relentless march of progress.

The sun's magnetic poles are set to reverse, a process that occurs more frequently and predictably than on Earth, with the next flip expected between April and August this year.
The sun is preparing to flip its magnetic poles, similar to Earth. This process occurs more frequently and is easier to predict than on Earth. The next flipping is expected to happen between April and August of this year. If you're around 30 years old, you have already experienced this phenomenon multiple times, as the sun flips every 11 years. The flipping process does not have a significant impact on Earth's life. However, this time, there might be some differences. Ocean currents, which play a crucial role in climate and weather, distribute heat from the equator to the poles on Earth. On the sun, these currents are more like an ocean of plasma and also carry electromagnetic energy. This happens because the sun is a massive ball of hot and ionized gases that flow inside its core. These flowing electric currents create magnetic fields. The process through which the sun generates its magnetic field is called a Dynamo. We can observe its effects on the sun's surface through sunspots, which are unstable and intense plasma and magnetism flows. Scientists have learned that the Dynamo process follows a pattern and reorganizes itself every decade. The polar magnetic fields of the sun weaken and eventually reach zero before returning with the opposite polarity. Solar activity has been increasing in recent years, with more solar flares, electromagnetic radiation bursts, and plasma blobs being ejected into space. This solar cycle is particularly lively, and experts believe that the polar fields are almost in sync and steadily weakening. However, the exact point of reversal has not been reached yet. The flipping of the sun's magnetic poles is not as precise as it may seem. The process can be bumpy, and some aspects are still difficult to predict. In the previous solar cycle, the Northern Hemisphere started its magnetic flip in 2012 but lingered around the neutral point until 2014. In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere had a smoother transition in 2013. This time, the poles seem to be transitioning more evenly. However, the reversal processes are never the same, making this phenomenon interesting to observe but challenging to predict its effects on Earth. While we don't need to worry about intense sun explosions happening millions of miles away, a solar storm could disrupt communication satellites in space. The increasing number of satellites, including Elon Musk's Starlink system, raises concerns about the potential impact of a powerful solar storm. Although the chances of a powerful solar storm hitting Earth are low, it is not impossible. In 1859, during the Carrington event, a solar storm caused disruptions in Telegraph communications worldwide. If a similar event were to occur today, it could have severe consequences, affecting communication, navigation, weather forecasting, and power distribution. The impact on satellites and infrastructure could result in significant damages. Fortunately, solar storms as intense as the Carrington event are rare, happening only once every few centuries. However, they offer a spectacular display of auroras, with the Northern and Southern Lights being visible at lower latitudes. The appearance of auroras is one of the expected effects of the sun's magnetic pole reversal. Studying this phenomenon is crucial for scientists to understand how the sun works and improve predictions of solar activity. This knowledge is essential for space travel safety, as more people venture beyond Earth. Understanding the sun's magnetic pole reversal also helps in unraveling the mysteries of other stars in the universe. By studying the sun, we can get closer to answering fundamental questions about our existence. If you enjoyed this information, please like and share this information with your friends.
