Science&Passion 2: Natural Intelligence and Bio-Technology

-
Image
Rethinking Our Systems Through Nature’s Wisdom Our current systems are failing—socially, ecologically, and economically. We extract more than we regenerate, disrupt natural balances, and generate waste instead of transformation. Nature, however, operates differently. Over millions of years, it has perfected self-sustaining, interconnected systems where nothing is wasted, nothing is forcefully removed, and everything has a role. What if, instead of trying to control nature, we learned from it? 1. The Architecture of Natural Systems Nature thrives through interdependence. No species exists in isolation; everything is part of a living, adaptive network. Instead of separation, nature fosters collaboration, co-evolution, and symbiosis, where each organism contributes to an ecosystem that continuously transforms energy and resources. A systemic approach allows us to see the whole rather than isolated parts. It reveals how species interact, their roles, and the delicate balance they m...

Science & Passion 1: Origin of Energy – The Equation of Life

-
Image
Origin of Energy – The Equation of Life What could be more instinctive to represent life than the breath itself? Our metabolism depends on it, and through this simple yet fundamental process, we access the very essence of energy. We need energy to fuel our brain, to move, to exist, and we produce it with every breath we take. 1.     The Equation of Life Let’s begin with the foundation of it all: the equation of cellular respiration. C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2    --->    6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + ATP A simple equation we all know. We inhale oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide—but what about the rest? First, glucose. “You are what you eat.” The quality of our food directly impacts our energy levels. But even more fascinating, our cells transform this glucose into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the universal energy currency of life. This energy fuels everything: our ability to move, work, create, digest, heal, and simply be. Now, take a moment. Every breath you take fuels ...

My Chaotic Path with Spirituality 2: From Science to Life-Changing Awakening

-
Image
Dodgy Childhood and a Strong Mind in Training I do not define myself as religious at all, but neither can I say I am an atheist. I have faith—strong faith—even I cannot identify with any religion or representation of God. My faith is omnipresent, woven into everything that makes us: it manifests in ourselves, in nature, in the people and souls we meet, and in the events that shape our lives. Everything happens in divine timing. If you face a challenge or obstacle now, it’s because you need that specific lesson to evolve. At least, that is the kind of perception I shaped from a young age while facing the multiple hardships that came my way. As a child, I remember my mother asking me for pictures of my father so she could bring them to a priest to curse him. I also recall her pulling Tarot cards and arranging her life based on her interpretations. At the time, these things meant nothing to me, but as I grew older, I realized they might have influenced my decision to distance myself from ...

My Chaotic Path with Spirituality: My Mongolian Experience of Shamanism

-
Image
It’s hard to believe that barely a year before this experience, I had left behind the system, the comforts of modern life, and most importantly, my PhD in mathematics and mechanics. My mind was, at that time, deeply rational and anchored in logic. Coming from a family where my mother practiced spiritualism, I had grown up amidst contrasting influences. On one hand, my upbringing exposed me to the metaphysical world of faith and divine connection; on the other hand, my rigorous academic background as a mathematical engineer fostered a pragmatic, evidence-based mindset. The journey from that life to shamanism was not something I sought. Yet, it found me. This first chapter of my chaotic spiritual path begins in Mongolia. Unlike the tourist-driven shamanic ceremonies that some travelers seek out, this experience was authentic, unplanned, and deeply personal. It was offered to me by a close friend who, witnessing my despair at being unable to stay in the country I had grown to love, invite...

Discover Some Brazil's Biodiversity Gems

  Let me share with you some of my biodiversity encounters during my first month here! And here some special ones: The drugs known as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), which are used for the treatment of hypertension and some types of congestive heart failure, were developed from a peptide found in the venom of this species in 1965 by the Brazilian scientist Sérgio Henrique Ferreira "A bradykinin-potentiating factor (bpf) present in the venom of  Bothrops jararaca "

Wander Log - From Solitude to Strength - Santa Catarina, Brazil

-
Image
This new chapter began in Paulo Lopes, a small town nestled in the state of Santa Catarina. It was here that I decided to settle for a month, although I initially planned to stay only ten days. The goal? To breathe life into my association, shape its identity, launch my blog, and reflect on how my three projects — my association Racines & Voyage, my blog Wanderoots Lab, and my autobiography Alaya — interconnect, complement, and enrich one another. At the same time, I needed to lay the groundwork for economic sustainability to continue this journey uncompromisingly. A much-needed recharge after intense months The three weeks before my departure to Brazil had been exhausting. Between emotional reunions with loved ones I hadn’t seen in a decade, heartfelt goodbyes, and the launch of my projects, I felt carried by a wave of inspiration and sharing. These exchanges nourished me. Giving the best of myself is an experience that, paradoxically, also fills me. Inspiring and being inspired, ...

Wander Log - A Journey of Resilience and Inspiration - São Paulo

-
Image
Arrival in São Paulo and Seeds of Change I stepped onto Brazilian soil with my head buzzing and heart pounding—not just from the exhaustion of travel, but from the anticipation of what this next chapter could hold. After years of wandering, countless challenges, and more questions than answers, this arrival in São Paulo marked the beginning of something I could only describe as a search—for purpose, for inspiration, and perhaps for proof that my ideas about creating change could really take root. São Paulo, sprawling and chaotic, enveloped me immediately. Its skyline, an endless sea of concrete, hinted at the nefarious consequences of unchecked capitalism—inequality, exploitation, and alienation. Yet, nestled among the chaos were glimpses of resilience and beauty: sprawling murals, the vibrant pulse of life in the favelas, and a sense of community I could feel even as an outsider. Arrival and First Impressions My first days in São Paulo were overwhelming. The sheer scale of the city, i...
