Peace of mind – Captain.nl

Now is the time for peace of mind. Even more so if there is too much on your mind or misfortune strikes.

Peace of mind “is a feeling of calm or not being worried” according to the Cambridge Dictionary. Merriam-Webster describes it as “a feeling of being safe or protected”. Both definitions refer to one’s mental state rather than any disturbance of the peace. Nuance aside, the linguists thus agree that one can have peace of mind even during a threat and after injury. No less significant, both definitions refer to a feeling as the basis for the fact of having peace of mind.

This website is built for and named after you. On day one, you are a whole and capable human. From day one, you learn to become master of your life. As captain, you are in charge. This website aims to initiate a meaningful conversation about achieving peace of mind. These are the key words:

Beware of confusion, because the content of words changes with time and culture. This is one reason why a phrase like “if you know what I mean” often follows a statement. You attribute meaning and consequences to the content of words.

Whole

You are one of many humans on earth. Multiply that eight billion number by four thousand for the order of magnitude of human cells in your body. Imagine four thousand world populations working together as one. That one is you.

Science explores both the infinitely small and the infinitely large in the universe. Science also recognizes you as one whole.

Iceberg, ocean or cloud

We know water to be a solid, fluid or gas. In the year 1742 in Uppsala, one Anders Celsius devised a temperature scale from the two changeover points. Around zero, water freezes into ice. Around one hundred, water boils into vapour. All the while, nothing magical is going on between any two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that form a single H₂O water molecule.

In your body, deviations from the normal 37°C temperature can lead to discomfort or health issues. Although a slight fever may also induce pleasant thoughts. This just shows that much like the water molecule, your behaviour is not entirely sovereign. You also adapt to your environment.

Heart & mind

The classic traditions of China, Egypt and Greece placed perception, cognition and emotion in the heart. Modern language carries many remnants in words like heartfelt, sweetheart and wholehearted.

Science has evolved since by demonstrating perception, cognition and emotion in the mind. You are what your mind perceives, learns, knows, dreams, believes and feels.

All of the biology, chemistry and electricity in your brain commands your body and facilitates your mental state of mind. So while the brain is a physical reality, it actually produces your mental existence.
