Everybody sees me as this sullen and insecure little thing. Those are just the sides of me that I feel necessary to show because no one else seems to be showing them.

Escambia County, Florida, has a rich history that dates back to the early 16th century, beginning with Spanish explorers like Tristan de Luna, who attempted to establish a colony in the area in 1559. The county is named after the Escambia River, which in turn likely derived its name from a Native American word meaning "clear water" or "river of canoes."
Key Historical Points:
• Early Settlements: Spanish, French, and British colonial forces all occupied parts of the region during its early history. Pensacola, the county seat, was a key area for these powers. The Spanish established a fort in Pensacola in 1698.
• American Control: After switching hands between European powers, Florida was ceded to the United States in 1821, and Escambia County was created as one of Florida’s two original counties (the other being St. Johns County).
• Civil War Era: Escambia County saw action during the American Civil War, particularly with the Battle of Pensacola in 1861. Union forces occupied the nearby Fort Pickens on Santa Rosa Island.
• Modern Era: Over time, Pensacola became a hub for naval activity. The county houses Naval Air Station Pensacola, established in 1914, which became the first naval aviation training facility and is the home of the Blue Angels.
Interesting and Unique Facts:
1 Pensacola's Title as the "City of Five Flags": Pensacola is known as the "City of Five Flags" because five governments have ruled it over time: Spain, France, Great Britain, the Confederate States, and the United States.
2 Naval Aviation Heritage: Escambia County is home to the National Naval Aviation Museum, one of the largest aviation museums in the world. The county also hosts the Blue Angels flight team.
3 Historical Shipwrecks: The waters off Escambia County are known for their numerous shipwrecks, including the 1559 Spanish fleet led by Tristan de Luna that sank during a hurricane. These wrecks are significant archaeological sites.
4 Fort Pickens: Located on Santa Rosa Island, Fort Pickens played a crucial role in the Civil War and is one of only four Southern forts to remain under Union control throughout the war.
5 Beaches and Natural Beauty: Escambia County boasts beautiful white-sand beaches along the Gulf of Mexico, especially in the Perdido Key and Pensacola Beach areas, which draw millions of visitors annually.
6 Haunted Pensacola: Escambia County, especially Pensacola, is reputed to be haunted, with various ghost stories and legends tied to its historic buildings, like the Pensacola Lighthouse, which is considered one of the most haunted lighthouses in the U.S.

The secrets of a mysterious Civilization — Lake Lovozero and Lake Seydozero, Finland | Russia
Seita are sacred to the north-European Indigenous People-- the Sami. It might be a very special place in the mountains, tundra, taiga, sometimes a conspicuous stone, stump, lake, other natural formation. The concept of Seyda also includes artifacts – structures made of stones.
Lake Seydozero near Lovozero is considered one of the possible centers of the mysterious Hyperborean civilization. According to legend, in Hyperborea lived highly developed giants who achieved great success in science and culture, and then disappeared, like the inhabitants of Atlantis. On one of the rocks near the lake you will find a 74-meter image. They call it Kuiva, so the Sami called the giant hunter who lived in the Lovozero tundra.

«People often think that the practice of Zen consists of inducing a state of self-consciousness in oneself through meditation. This is not the case at all. Satori is not about causing a certain, pre-known state by intensified thinking about it. It is a growing consciousness of whatever power allows the mind to judge things in a new way. From the beginning of our conscious life, we have been conditioned to respond to internal and external phenomena in a certain speculative and analytical way.
The practice of Zen is to destroy these artificial constructions once and for all and erect a new edifice on an entirely new foundation. The old edifice is ignorance (Avidya) and the new edifice is Enlightenment (Sambodhi). It is therefore clear that contemplating any metaphysical or symbolic formula that is a product of our relative consciousness has no place in Zen.
Without attaining Satori, no one can comprehend the mysteries of Zen. It is a sudden revelation of a new truth that one could not even dream of before. A kind of mental collapse that suddenly overturns old mental piles. The height has reached its limit and the whole building has collapsed and a new sky has opened up over your head.
Water instantly freezes when its temperature drops to a certain point: the liquid turns into a solid and ceases to be a liquid. Satori comes to you suddenly when you feel that you are exhausting all your inner strength. In the language of religion, it is a new birth, and in the aspect of morality, it is a reassessment of one's attitude to the world. It now appears in a completely new light, in which all the squalor of duality, called in Buddhism illusion (Maya), which is produced by the deluded mind, disappears».

"Zen is not the cultivation of a pre-conceived state, but the destruction of illusions to reveal a new consciousness. Satori arrives like a sudden collapse of mental constructs, opening a sky beyond duality."
