In this thought-provoking episode of Walk The Path, we dive deep into the concept of "Tabula Rasa," or the idea of the mind as a blank slate. Join us as we explore the philosophical implications of this theory and its impact on our understanding of human behavior, learning, and identity. We also discuss and refer to key thinkers like John Locke, who famously argued that individuals are shaped by their experiences and environment, rather than innate qualities. Furthermore, we also look into the arguments that are raised against this particular Tabula Rasa theory. Tune in and discover how the idea of a blank slate can redefine our understanding of who we are! Don’t forget to subscribe and leave us a review!

Coming of the back of a lengthy hiatus, in this particular episode, we touched on Vows, and how: - Vows are internal and external -Vows are binding between the participant and the recipient -How vows can be planted subconsciously without the individual being aware -The most important vow that an individual can make is with themself.

In this episode we had a look back at the topic of Finding Your Purpose. We often talk about "Finding your purpose" or "Finding my purpose". What does this imply? What is your purpose? Where does an individual find their purpose? Is their purpose set in stone or does it change as their life unfolds? Finding your purpose is a deeply personal and transformative journey. It involves exploring your passions, values, and strengths to understand what truly drives you. (Recorded 8 September 2024)

"Comparison is the thief of joy." - Theodore Roosevelt In this episode we took a look at comparison and how it affects us individually and how it alters our relationships with the next man. Comparison is not necessarily wrong. However, dwell upon and within it can stir up quite a storm.

Every human would like to self-improve in some way. Without a shadow of a doubt. However, do you, as an individual, have what it takes to improve? Forget the motivation, but do you have the discipline to self-improve? Or rather, why do you want to improve? You know your self, and your reasonings. On that note, let's improve ourself going forward. (Apologies for the audio in this episode.)

Motivation and Discipline are two very crucial states of the mind that are essential in aiding us in pursuing a goal or taking an action. The question is do we need them in equal amounts? Does one outweigh the other? Or does the other outweigh the one? Or do they both serve their own individual purpose? In this episode we look at the importance that they individually play and their necessity in helping us achieve what we sought out to achieve *Recorded 14/01/24* *Uploaded 16/01/24*

Among the many great things that social media has enabled us with, one of them is the being able to become connected with vast amounts of people within society. Among the many things that social media has disabled us with is ability to communicate and relate to one another on an interpersonal level.

The Law of Compensation, is one of the known Universal Laws, also known as the Hermetic Principles. The Law of Compensation in unison with the other universal laws. The Law of Compensation is synonymous with the Law of Equivalent Exchange. The Law of Compensation basically states that, and with reference to Bob Proctor, "If you're not prepared to pay the price, you do not deserve the reward." In essence, what are you willing to give up to achieve your goals, or your dreams, or your targets? Only you will know.

The Law of Action, is one of the known Universal Laws, also known as the Hermetic Principles. The Law of Action works closely with The Law of Cause and Effect. The Law of Action basically states that an individual must act in accordance with what they seek, want, and their personal goals. The Law of Action also mentions that you can choose to take action or you can choose to not act. The choice is yours. So either you act or you do not act. So let's take action.

The Universal Law of Cause and Effect is one of the many known universal laws. Understanding and grasping this law will shed light on why things are happening to you and probably also around you. The world operates on many universal laws, and one of it is Cause and Effect. Cause and Effect can be explained as for Every action there is a corresponding reaction. By understanding this principle, it will make sense about many things that have transpired and that will occur. And by understanding this principle you will come to an understanding that there is no coincidence. Nothing happens by chance.

As much as Social Media has helped bridge the gap in connecting with one another over great distances and brought us closer, Social Media also brought certain areas of focus to our attention. Like any progressive stride that humanity accomplishes, there is a regressive part to it. In this episode we discuss about some of the dark sides to Social Media that have become even more prominent over the past years that are completely unavoidable now.

This episode is a follow-up to the previous episode about Memento Mori. What makes life so valuable? We can all list many reasons as to why life is so valuable. However, one thing that we can agree on is that life is precious. The very breath that you breathe is what makes it priceless. Because there is no price to it. Anyway, what do you think makes life so valuable? *Our apologies, we only noticed now that there was an audio issue. It is sorted now*

Memento Mori "Remember You Will Die" It is self-explanatory. However, through this acknowledgement about death and its certainty, we can begin to live, and not just thrive, as we have been doing unconsciously. Let us begin to live. Let us live life and not just thrive.

You are the sum of the actions you took. And you are the sum of the actions you did not take. Whatever actions you took or did not take, life will reflect the very actions you took or did not take. That is why life is a mirror. It shows you what you did and what it led to. Or what you did not do and what it led to. At the root of it all is that you took action, and that is what life requires us to do.

The common way that we portray fear is when we describe or associate an immediate or potential danger or threat. But is that there all is to fear? Fear can be either become your ally or your enemy. That all depends on your situation, perspective and your choice of action. This episode was our take on fear.

Define yourself or the world will define you. What does "defining yourself" entail? What intricacies are at works when you undergo such a process? Can you firmly say that you are your authentic self or are you a shelf of what they tell you that you are? Ultimately you make yourself or someone will make you into what they want you to be

They say that "you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with", the question is who do you surround with? Is the company that you keep progressive?  Is the company that you keep regressive? Is the company that you keep outgoing and deterministic? Or is it reclusive and negative?  You be the judge And watch the company that you keep

Brief points mentioned about Humility: Humility is the mother of all virtues. Humility does not equate to stupidity. Humility can actually become a super power. A humble person is not necessarily a weak person. Humility is a fertilizer for growth. *Apologies for the change in audio. We opted for a different recording platform.*

This particular episode, we briefly looked at intelligence and wisdom, and how you can use it along The Path Can one live their life just by means of intelligence? Can one solely rely on wisdom? Is one lesser than the other? Or are they both on par with one another? What is your take? Is it intelligence vs wisdom? Or intelligence and wisdom?

Complacency or Change. Two opposing choices that we are often faced with in life, that requires action. So the question is to act or not to act? When you act, do you act for the better or for worse? When you act, are you forced to act or is it a conscious decision? When you opt to not act, is it because you choose not to act or you cannot act? To remain complacent, or to change, what do you choose? Is complacency really as bad as we make it seem? Is too much change even good at all?

The truth, is unsettling, right? Right. Harsh truth, although unsettling have some merit in them right? Right There comes a time when we have to accept that truth will leave us uncomfortable, and sometimes uneasy. Yet, it is for the best. Tune into this episode for a bit of harsh truth that are actually sound and improve yourself.

Perspective. Are you aware that your perspective plays a vital role in your perception. Perspective is pivotal to how you view life, others and also yourself. Let us dive right into Perspective and the betwixt.
