Diving into the water without an oxygen tank is called ‘free-diving.’ It is a form of apnea diving in which divers must hold their breath for an extended period while diving deep into the water with just one breath of oxygen. The difficulty in holding the diver’s breath during this time is not due to a lack of oxygen but rather an increase in carbon dioxide concentration. In other words, if you keep your heart rate low and your metabolism slow, you produce less carbon dioxide, which allows you to dive for a longer duration. The only way to maintain a low heart rate is to remain as calm as possible. Maintaining calmness has numerous benefits in life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Greed, regret, excessive care, unreasonable disconnection, excuses, defenses, lies, dignity, and elaborate schemes; the essence behind these phenomena is fear. The unique response that occurred after Adam and Eve sinned was to hide out of fear. The object of fear becomes the object of worship. While religion should help balance fear and worship, it often exploits it. This is called “depravity.” Anyone can be depraved, anyone! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
