However, a seed is unable to germinate and develop on its own, in isolation. The conditions must be correct. The right soil with the right nutrients, adequate amounts of sunlight, moisture and warmth are all necessary for the process to take place. Similar conditions are required in humans for the tree of knowledge to grow and hopefully, one day, bear the fruits of intelligence. The requirement for curiosity to emerge in the first place is willingness to admit not knowing. The second requirement is the eagerness or need to know. Smash these 2 hard truths together like rocks, and you get the spark of curiosity, which, under the right conditions, can start a fiery passion. I guess this is just another way of saying: Curiosity creates luminosity /// Wangi Falls Loop, Northern Territory, Australia 24.10.2023 #Australia #nature #philosophy

Kyrios or kurios (κύριος) is a Greek word that is usually translated as "lord" or "master". It appears roughly 7,000 times in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. However, the English word curious is not derived from the Greek word Kurios. The similarity between "curious" and "kurios" is phonetic only - a coincidental resemblance in sound, without any shared linguistic ancestry. Nevertheless, I find this to be a very curious coincidence (pun intended). For it is through curiosity first and foremost that we can find our calling and align with our soul purpose. Kurios is what calls; curiosity is what orients. The direction of our attention often governs our destiny. View quoted note →
