Imagine a person standing at the center of a circle (1), representing the individual human experience. This person has a body (2), a head (3) with eyes (4),  shoes on  (5), a beating heart  (6) and gloves (7). Each of these seven elements symbolizes an aspect of humanity, and together, they form an orchestra—the Echo of Life. It’s time to understand these echoes and see how they interact with one another.

1. Circle around the human is you, dear reader: Echo of Purity. It represents everything we are connected to as humans: history, future, place, climate, obstacles, opportunities etc.  Echo of purity interacts with the themes of this blog, challenges them, and purifies the collective understanding of human consciousness, body, and behavior.Your role is vital; like a conductor guiding an orchestra, your feedback and insights help shape and sharpen this dialogue.
2. Body of the person symbolizes our physical embodiment, transcending gender and embracing the entirety of the human experience. The Echo of Whoman blends the words “human”, “woman” and “man”, urging us to look beyond labels and recognize each person as a unique individual, embodying both the feminine and masculine qualities.  In our orchestral metaphor, this is the string section, with its violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. It provides the foundational layers of music, adding depth, emotion, and texture to the symphony of life.
3. The head of a person represents the Echo of Fathercator, a concept that merges father, mother and educator. The Fathercator embodies our psychic-spiritual consciousness, guiding and nurturing both ourselves and others in our growth as humans.  In the orchestra, the brass section—trumpets, horns, trombones, and tubas—gives voice to the Fathercator, adding boldness, intensity, and drama to the symphony.
4. Eyes in a head are the mirrors of our soul; an Echo of the Child. Child in us is a spiritual essence—the voice within that is sensitive, curious and honest. It represents the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder and protecting the rights and well-being of all children. Echo of Child is heard as the voice of woodwinds in the orchestra. The light, flexible, and often playful woodwinds, including flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons, bring a sense of discovery and creativity to the music. The other instruments have to quiet down and give space so that the sensitive woodwinds can bring out their message.
5. Shoes on feet pictures  the cultural roots of a person. The Echoes in Finnish provide a distinctive cultural perspective, rooted in the experiences of the equal Finnish women, connecting local experiences to a global conversation. Just as the percussion instruments; drums, timpani, cymbals, and xylophones, keep the rhythm and tempo, the Echoes in Finnish provides basis for the value world of the discussion and paces the flow with its unique tone. 
6. The heart of a person reflects singing and reminds us of our shared humanity. The soloist or choir brings the songs and human voice to the orchestra and  connects us to ourselves and each other. Echo of singing captures the audience’s attention and touches their souls. If a person has an ability to hear and understand the Echo of Child, singing overflows from the heart to heart.
7. The gloves on hands are a metaphor for a life mission. In the orchestra, it would reflect the purpose of the performance, which appears differently to everyone; conductor, players or audience. In this blog the gloves picture Echo of Science: understanding a person as a holistic educator and demonstrating it through scientific methods is the destination of the blog.

By exploring each echo through the lens of the orchestral analogy, we can understand that the Echo of our life is one harmonious world that is created from many different timbres and tones. In order for us to understand the whole, we must give a voice to each echo.
