Spatial DNA:
Humans first relationship was not with people but with space; life gave us space in the body of our mothers to grow into self before allowing us to meet them in person. To enter into a relationship without knowing one's spatial preference is like diving into a body of water without knowing its depth.

The DNA of Time:
Change is eternity dancing to its own rhythm. To understand this eternal rhythm, one has to understand that nothing in existence changes independently of each other. Change is not a personal solo act, but a cosmic concert, where everything in the universe changes in accordance with each other.

The theory of absence:
The belief in absence is the square root of human ignorance. Though absence is an unproven theory, we base all our calculations in life on it, as if it’s a proven fact. Humans are present beings that are lost in the illusion of absence. This illusion has shaped our actions and perceptions of life.
