hehehe... it's awesome the metaphor with real life is incredible. I remember watching it and thinking... "wow, this is very similar to what happens in real life" without the computers of course. I was materialistic but I knew (or I think I knew) also that reality was created in the brain and that the brain just interprets electric signals. So, I knew that what we see, touch and smell, we can't be sure that they are "real"... I was 30 when Matrix was premiered.

Sounds like the Story of Jonah from the Bible.

Boys will be boys

@Nahm

I AM the truth

Experience is the best way to call it. But it is not really an experience. You will know it's true. And you will know because it will shock your whole sense of self, your whole world will collapse and if you are not ready for it you will scream like crazy as if a fucking nuts psychopath is following you with a chainsaw to cut you into little pieces. In reality enlightenment is a non event. A non experience. They call it "direct experience" as a pointer but experiences will lead you only to more experiences. The finger pointing to the moon.

@AleksM Thanks for sharing. Really great insights!

Ok, I will.

@ardacigin Thanks! I didn't have idea about that.

Shinzen Young is a materialist? Really?...

@rNOW It is said that Caesar used to refer to himself in third person very often. But I am not sure, I read about that long time ago.

Count me in...

gentlemen

This is great... scientists need meditation

Cool, thanks @Harikrishnan for the advice, maybe you are right and I am being too obvious. Thanks for the input! Thanks @Natasha I will take a look at it. Good to have some reference from people who have experience in selling T-Shirts and stuff online. Good!!

hahaha... so true.

hehehe... Oh my god. Oh my... Oh... (silence)

I would sell enlightenment in a little bottle, very cheap.

@Natasha Thanks!

@Aakash Probably it will happen, but first the human race will need to become more conscious to be able to handle that kind of technology.

@Aakash Interesting... maybe it is possible to create a kind of "morse code" for those kind of "mind readers"... if it can help people with physical problems it can be really helpful for them to be able to communicate. Imagine Richard Hawking with that technology, it would have helped him a lot... I just used him as an example because he used a computer to communicate with people.

Cool... I have to begin again doing that.
