We vote for more silence. Meditate! 😁

Turns out we've been accidentally ghosting birds this whole time — and they are not okay.
Here's the thing most people don't think about. Birds basically run their entire lives through sound. They sing to find a mate, shout warnings when a predator shows up, argue with neighbors over territory, and check in with their babies. Sound is their phone, their alarm system, and their dating app all rolled into one. And right now, humans are blasting so much noise into the world that birds can barely hear each other anymore.
Scientists didn't just take a wild guess on this one. A massive review published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B looked at more than 150 studies from six continents and 160 different bird species. They dug into how traffic, construction, factories, and basically every loud thing humans do affects birds on every level — how they act, how they grow, how stressed they are, and whether they can even reproduce successfully.
The results? Yeah, it's not great news.
Every type of human noise they looked at was messing with birds in some way. Birds in noisy areas were fighting more, eating differently, and avoiding places they actually needed to be. But here's the part that really stings — city birds had noticeably higher stress hormone levels than birds living somewhere peaceful and quiet. Some species were literally growing slower because of all the noise around them. And across the board, human-made sound was putting a dent in how successfully birds could reproduce.
Think about it like this. Imagine you're trying to have an important conversation in the middle of a packed stadium during the Super Bowl. You'd have to scream, repeat yourself a dozen times, and burn through so much energy just to get your point across that by the time you're done, you're too wiped out to do anything else. That's what birds are dealing with every single day. When background noise drowns out their calls, they have to sing louder, switch pitches, and work way harder just to be heard. All that extra effort takes energy away from eating, watching for predators, and taking care of their chicks.
Here's the twist though — and this is actually the good part.
Unlike a lot of environmental problems that feel totally overwhelming, noise pollution is something we genuinely know how to fix. City planners can put up sound barriers, use road surfaces that don't make as much noise, and push for smarter construction practices. The tools are already sitting right there. We just have to decide to use them.
Birds have been filling the world with song for millions of years. That sound isn't just pretty background music for your morning coffee — it's woven into how entire ecosystems work. The only real question is whether we care enough to turn it down a little.
Share this if you think birds deserve to be heard. Because the good news is we actually have the power to make that happen.

Words are a 5th chakra phenomenon. Thet are vital for the dialogue of scientific information. They can help humans harness brain power, They are not the only important means of communicating. To get at the larger spiritual, sometimes one has to surrender spoken language,

We think we communicate and understand most deeply using language. But how can we say what words cannot express? Silence.

Drawing on Wittgenstein and Heidegger, philosopher Steven Bindeman argues that language often keeps us separated from the world and is fundamentally incapable of describing it.

"As Kierkegaard once wrote, 'Bring silence to people who listen and watch them take themselves to heart'," writes Bindeman.

Only silence can bridge the gap between the self and world.

Bindeman was a Professor of Philosophy and Department Chairperson at Strayer University. He is a leading theorist on silence and has published articles on Heidegger, Wittgenstein and the creative process.

This article is presented in association with Closer To Truth, an award-winning broadcast and digital media series that has run continuously since 2000, and a partner of the upcoming HowTheLightGetsIn Festival in London this September 20-21.

It's the heart of the matter. 🙂 Physically, the complex structure known as the heart is ground zero for what keeps us alive. Energetically, it's tied to the fourth chakra, a critical mechanism that brings together our upper and lower information sources and through which we express who we are in the world around us. ❤️‍🔥

Human animals are rapidly coming to the realization that Mother Nature is truly alive in ways of which we were previously unaware. Science is providing the data. It's all just energy, people, much of it which can be measured with existing electrical instruments. ⚡️🔥🌎🌪🌳

During a solar eclipse in a forest in Italy’s Dolomites region, scientists seized the chance to explore a fascinating question.

Science and faith are finally slowly coming together in their vital pursuit of better understanding animals. If you do not know of a competent cat communicator for questions about animals within your own family network, your vet may have better tools before too much longer to help them help you help the animals in your world.😉🐈‍⬛

Yep. It's all what you have been taught to believe. 📖🤓 And it's never too late to learn a new expanded perspective. 🤩🧠

At its best, science creates an opportunity to expand our world view. At its worst, it reinforces a limited cognitive viewpoint. Energetically, the universe is currently working "overtime" to help human animals recognize that we are not the only life form that interacts with Mother Earth to promote its well-being, or even the smartest one. Kudos to this researcher and her sponsoring agency for getting the message and passing it on. 🧐🌳👂

professor Dr. Suzanne Simard has been named to the TIME100 Most Influential People List! Read below:

"Human beings may pride themselves on the buried webs of wire and fibre-optic cables that allow far-flung populations to keep in touch, but the trees beat us to it—by many millions of years. That is the revolutionary finding of Suzanne Simard, professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia, and the author of Finding the Mother Tree.

Deep beneath the forest floor, Simard has found, trees communicate via vast networks of mycorrhizal fungi, using those symbiotic life forms to help them share nutrients and even communicate information about threats such as disease and drought.

Her TED talks have been viewed more than 10 million times, and her 200-plus peer-reviewed articles have deeply informed the thinking of conservationists and environmentalists working to help preserve forests in a world ever more threatened by climate change and wildfires. The trees, Simard teaches us, are talking. It is our job to start listening."

"Our society is structured around the telling of stories. Religion tells stories, politicians tell stories, business is in a big way a storytelling profession, and science is a telling of stories. . .Science is also a community of storytellers. The mythic side of science is often as important, and in fact may have a much more profound impact on a society then the technological side of science. It engenders images for us that then become the metaphors and language by which we think about the describe our world." From Re-Imagination of the World by Spangler and Thompson.

Some people are of the mistaken belief that science (and maybe even faith) has to be dry and uninteresting. Not so. Human creativity can enliven any perspective.

“Kangaroo Time” took home the competition’s overall prize, while interpretive dances on early life adversity, circadian rhythms and streambank erosion were also honored
