🚨 You’re not the same person you were 10 minutes ago.
Your body is constantly regenerating itself. New cells are made, and old ones are discarded.
Every 7 to 10 years, you get a completely new body with new sets of organs and tissues. Your stomach regenerates itself every 4 days. The stomach cells that help you digest food are replaced every 5 minutes.
You get a new liver every 150 days. The entire outer layer of your skin, called the epidermis, replaces itself every 4 weeks. Your pancreas, which helps regulate your blood sugar level, is renewed every 50 days.
And every 4 months, you get a new set of red blood cells across your entire body. Even after you donate blood, it would only take 12 weeks to completely replace the red blood cells you donated. Your taste buds that help you enjoy a variety of foods are replaced every 10 days. Although cells are always regenerating, the process can be slow for some parts. Bones, for instance, require up to 10 years to fully regenerate.
As we age, bone regeneration slows down and our bones become weaker. Despite this incredible regeneration capacity of the human body, some parts of your body are never replaced, such as the cells that make up the inner lens in your eyes and the neurons in your cerebral cortex.
Fat can also accumulate and stick around depending on your diet and physical activity. Even though everything in your body is replaced, the only thing that remains of you is your consciousness, self-awareness and memories. As I said, your taste buds are replaced every 10 days, but the memory of the delicious food you tasted before is still there, and new taste buds are ready to experience it.

🚨Joe Rogan says Twitter was a “censorship dystopian hellhole” before Elon Musk bought it.
“Twitter being purchased was giant.”
“Before that, you could get silenced, so you self-censored.”
“A sports broadcaster got fired for saying ‘All Lives Matter.’”
“There was active U.S. government involvement in Twitter. They were actively censoring and removing posts and banning accounts.”
“When Elon bought it, that was all exposed.”
“They were pulling down factual stories.”
“They were banning accounts of scientists and researchers who were accurate. It was dark.”
“Before Elon purchased it, it was a censorship dystopian hellhole, where if you said ‘a man is never a woman,’ like Megan Murphy did, you’re banned for life.”

The Goddesses of Magic – Isis
The art of magic in Ancient Egypt was closely tied to Isis, because she came to know the name of the greatest god. Isis possessed the power of magic granted to her by Geb (lord of the earth), so that she could use it to protect her son Horus from danger.
With this power, Isis could seal the mouth of every serpent, and protect her son from every lion, every crocodile, and all reptiles. With a word, she could stop the effect of venom in the body of anyone bitten by snakes or scorpions, remove its deadly effect, and grant the breath of life to those who had lost it.
Isis also dominates, with the power of her magic, bad moods and psychological crises: the soul submits to her commands and purifies itself of negative energies, and vessels likewise submit to her command and purify themselves of any evil clinging to them.
In Ancient Egypt, if a person was bitten by a reptile, they would immediately invoke Isis, skilled in speech, and ask her to help them as she once helped her son Horus. They would even take on the persona of Horus, speaking in his voice, and calling on her as their mother. Isis responds, comes, practices her magic, and calms her child Horus.
Nothing can harm the son of Isis, great in magic and mistress of miracles. He who comes forth from the primeval waters and rises in the sky like Horus will never die. Is Isis not the cosmic mother from whose womb everything emerges, and to whom it returns again?

#HERstory #Goddess #AncientEgypt #Isis #Magick
Every person alive today carries evidence of a woman who lived in Africa roughly 150,000 to 200,000 years ago.
Scientists call her “Mitochondrial Eve.”
She was not the first woman. She was not the only woman alive. And she was certainly not walking around as the mother of humanity.
Her significance is stranger than that.
Inside most of our cells are tiny structures called mitochondria, which contain their own DNA. Unlike most of our genetic material, mitochondrial DNA is inherited almost entirely from our mothers.
Your mother received hers from her mother. Your grandmother received hers from hers.
Follow that maternal chain backward far enough and something remarkable happens.
The lines converge.
Many women living alongside Mitochondrial Eve had children. Their descendants may even be among us today. But somewhere along those maternal lines, a woman had only sons, or no surviving children, and that particular mitochondrial lineage ended.
Again and again, branches disappeared.
One did not.
Through an extraordinary sequence of mothers having daughters who had daughters, continuing across thousands upon thousands of generations, one ancient maternal lineage survived all the way to every living human population.
Scientists reconstructed that history by comparing mitochondrial DNA among people alive today.
And there is an important twist.
There was no single prehistoric moment when one woman suddenly became humanity's universal maternal ancestor. As maternal lineages disappear, the identity of our most recent common maternal ancestor effectively moves forward through history.
“Mitochondrial Eve” is therefore not a biblical Eve.
She was a real woman within a much larger population whose mitochondrial lineage happened to survive when others eventually vanished.
We don't know her name.
We don't know what she looked like.
She lived and died without knowing that anything about her was unusual.
Yet an unbroken biological thread connects her to roughly eight billion people alive today.
