Are people with dark personality traits more likely to succeed?
we found that those with light personality trait profiles have fulfilling, intrinsically rewarding lives: they generally have a more positive view of themselves, more positive connections with others and find life more satisfying.
The key factor here seems to be empathy: the capacity to resonate with – and understand the perspective of – the emotional experiences of others. Individuals with light personality traits show a great deal of empathy for others, while those with dark personality traits tend to show very little. In our new research, we found that this seems to be what leads to a more satisfying life. Similarly, being prosocial – acting kindly, cooperatively and with compassion toward others – is also significantly linked
with higher wellbeing.

Altered states can help us face death with serenity and levity
By not facing the issue of our mortality prior to our passing, we miss a unique opportunity, not only to reconcile with death and make peace with it, but also to gain a sense of levity and serenity that we can carry with us through our lives. But how can we overcome a fear of death that’s so deeply rooted in our culture?
There’s a strong association between a decreased fear of death and undergoing a near-death experience (NDE), out-of-body experience (OBE), lucid dream and psychedelic experience.
The experience can act as a motivating catalyst to further understand yourself, and is commonly associated with a reduced fear of death.
‘dying before dying’ influences deeply the quality of life and the basic strategy of existence. It reduces irrational drives … and increases the ability to live in the present and to enjoy simple life activities.

In their closest alignment in 800 years, Jupiter and Saturn will create a wonder: A Christmas star ⭐️ 💫
Astronomers have long theorized that the nativity star might have really been an alignment, known as a conjunction. A rare conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and a bright star named Regulus occurred around 2 B.C.
At least 2020 will wrap up with a special bow.
A miracle or merely astrophysics. A light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.
