My take on purpose: The purpose of the universe is to create purpose. Then some may ask: what is the purpose of evil? The answer is that evil is just a temporary stage for growth and development. We are still a very young civilization.

Yes! And I was thinking of now shifting focus from theory to practical solutions. Maybe that's more suitable for a journal thread, but on the other hand it's useful to have both theory and practice in the same thread.
The autopilot method I mentioned earlier seems promising to me, and could potentially be useful for others. It's basically mindfulness practice but with the ability to take over the autopilot at any moment. So it's judgmental mindfulness practice one might say.

Hey! I came to think that the Bible is probably written by the breakaway civilization. And the Bible is deliberately cryptic to prevent revealing the truth prematurely. Hmm... If my hypothesis is correct maybe I'm revealing too much! I think I will slow down a bit. Plus, my idea could be wrong and therefore misleading.

We will see. Ha ha. I even disagree with Albert Einstein.

No, no! I disagree with a lot of what Leo said in his recent video. For example I do NOT believe that we live through all experiences. Time always moves forward and in a single timeline. Yesterday will never be experienced again, by anybody. And so on, a lot things I disagree with, so it's at least not a religion I follow.

Many so-called rational people completely underestimate the Bible.
"To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father." - Revelation 2:26-27
"The one" who will be victorious is not a single person, like a dictator, but the global collective consciousness.
"You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery. Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth." - Psalm 2:9-10
"Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” ... There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." - Revelation 21
"The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." - Isaiah 11:8-9
At the same time there are Christians who misinterpret the Bible. The Rapture is not about being taken to heaven.
"Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." - 1 Corinthians 15:52-53
"After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." - 1 Thessalonians 4:17
If the Rapture was about being taken to heaven, then that would be basically the same as death. And people will be resurrected on earth, since the dead are already in heaven.
"Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." - Matthew 22:29-30
The Rapture is about a transformation here on earth and "meeting the Lord in the clouds" is about our ability to levitate with our glorified bodies here on earth, not in heaven.
To the "rational" person this might seem like fairy tales, but consider the possibility that our reality is deliberately limited. Arthur C. Clarke's 3 "laws":
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
-
Why the need for all the suffering in our world and in our lives? The answer is that we need to go through a struggle of seeming separation with good and evil in order to become a unique civilization with us as evolved individuals. We are a young civilization, actually not born yet. When we reach the new earth there will be no need for suffering.
Many people mistakenly believe that good and evil must always exist, but that's only true for primitive levels of development. It's like saying that in order to eat fresh fruit we must sometimes eat rotten fruit. Not so.
Evil is just a temporary stage of development.

"Computational irreducibility explains observed limitations of existing mainstream science. In cases of computational irreducibility, only observation and experiment can be used. Computational irreducibility may also provide a scientifically-based resolution for free will." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_irreducibility
What the computational irreducibility means is that simple determinism, such as described by Laplace, that someone knowing all positions and movements of the particles would be able to see all the future is FALSE. It's impossible to fully predict the future.
Our individual choices and personal wills are a PART of process of creation, not separate from it. This means that our personal choices are necessary in order for reality to become manifested, moment by moment.
This is true even when reality is deterministic. Nobody can fully predict the future. One example is sufficiently large decimals of Pi = 3.14150265... which are unknown until they have actually been calculated, yet all those decimals are deterministic.

22 hours ago, TheOne said:can we travel in it ?
Is actual time travel possible? As I see it, nope. I gave an example in some other thread: try travelling back 1 hour into the past and meet your past self. And then travel back with both your past self and present self back to the present time. Can't happen.
And that's consistent with my view that time began now. The entire past is compressed into the eternal now moment. And the process of creation goes on forever since infinity has no end, but it never goes backwards; the arrow of time always moves forward. Yesterday will never be experienced again, by anybody.
-
My idea of time is simple. Time began now and that entire past is squeezed into the eternal now moment which is always moving forward. Then how to explain seeming paradoxes, such as:
"In the paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, Achilles is in a footrace with the tortoise. Achilles allows the tortoise a head start of 100 meters, for example. Supposing that each racer starts running at some constant speed (one very fast and one very slow), then after some finite time, Achilles will have run 100 meters, bringing him to the tortoise's starting point. During this time, the tortoise has run a much shorter distance, say, 10 meters. It will then take Achilles some further time to run that distance, by which time the tortoise will have advanced farther; and then more time still to reach this third point, while the tortoise moves ahead. Thus, whenever Achilles arrives somewhere the tortoise has been, he still has some distance to go before he can even reach the tortoise.[11]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno's_paradoxes#Achilles_and_the_tortoise
That's easy to explain too! Our universe started with a Big Bang some billions of years ago. And as Nassim Haramein has explained, the universe moves in Planck time frames. So time in our universe is discrete, not continuous. And that resolves Zeno's paradoxes.

Practicing abandoning the ego self is a pretty interesting experience I found. It's not like in the nondual advaita teachings where there is no self. Instead it's like using a self-driving car and letting the AI do the driving while at the same time observing and being able to take over the control of the driving at any time.
So far when I do the practice I behave essentially the same as usual. That's a very lame form of global consciousness or not even any global connection at all. But it's a start. And it can be really challenging just to let go of personal control in many situations. For example, what if my autopilot suddenly blurts out something nasty to someone, out of my control? So it's recommended to start with small tasks and then after some practice do more challenging tasks.
My idea is that if my hypothesis is correct, then the autopilot control will start doing and achieving things I'm incapable of with my ego mind.

When someone is high on drugs he or she can experience amazing synchronicities even in the most ordinary events. Is there any truth in those kinds of experiences? Yes, could be, because think of the butterfly effect which says that tiny changes in initial conditions can cause huge changes later on. For example, a butterfly flapping its wing in Texas can cause a tornado in Mexico City.
What drugs like that do, then, is to remove the usual isolation from the deeper synchronicities we have as separate egos. We would go nuts without the protective shield that hides the deeper synchronicities from our minds.
A global collective consciousness on the other hand can better deal with the deeper layers of reality since it is billions of times more powerful than our separate ego minds. So instead of having very limited, and often even crazy, experiences like when using drugs, with global consciousness we access and interact with the deeper reality in much more comprehensive and meaningful ways.
Taking drugs may be useful for getting glimpses of the deeper reality but when we are still in our separate egos those experiences are very limited at best. What needs to happen is to develop our minds and hearts so that we access the deeper reality with global collective awareness. And since we cannot do that from our separate egos, not even with 10 grams of shrooms, we need to ABANDON our own personal will and let the global mind act through us, like letting a driver-less car do the driving for us.
Then after a while we can take control over our lives again, and be able to operate within the deeper reality, just like how the training wheels can be removed after a while when a child is learning how to ride a bike.
-
How will a global collective consciousness develop in practice? Wouldn't the connection of billions of people's minds and hearts just create a huge collective ego? Or not even that, because of the immense amounts of conflicts we have with our separate egos. Heck, we are hardly even capable of having social relationships between only two people, such as in a marriage. So how could billions of people come together as one?
One possible answer is that Richard Dolan's research indicates that there exists what he calls a breakaway civilization, perhaps even an ancient one, he said. That's a civilization that has been unknown to the public society and that has developed far more advanced knowledge and technology than we have.
How could such breakaway civilization have become much more advanced than the public civilization? Imagine that in the dawn of human history, some people were already connected in a collective consciousness. That would have given that group a huge advantage in terms of being able to function together socially. So while the public history has been filled with crazy conflicts, intrigues, manipulations, wars and other messy power struggles, the breakaway civilization was able to operate under the public radar so to speak.
And it is the breakaway civilization that will be the starting kernel of the global collective consciousness. There will still be major challenges probably with the integration. Totally different cultures. The breakaway civilization must think of our houses and apartments as lonely, isolated and claustrophobic ways of living, and things like marriage as a socially primitive structure, not much more than how animals form couples in nature.

Is a global consciousness leap really necessary? Hell yes! In this video Leo gives an excellent description of how pathetic our current situation is:

15 minutes ago, Serotoninluv said:The same collective effect as stirring up an ant hill with a stick ?
I heard that ants use pheromones, and that's too slow for a morphic field, so yes the ants probably scatter like humans. Although I'm not sure. It could be that ants have some additional coordination mechanism making them able to form morphic fields.
We humans have a huge potential for morphic fields I think. One possibility is the heart mentioned earlier which has a massive magnetic field and the heart sends a lot of information to the brain. Also the cerebellum in the human brain might be able to nonlocally connect collectively with whole groups of people and even with all of earth, since the cerebellum has to do with coordination and stuff.
-
36 minutes ago, Serotoninluv said:What if we threw in a couple sharks?
People would panic and run into each other and over each other. A total mess. The remarkable thing with the animal formations with morphic fields is the precision with which the whole group moves, such as:
-
When we are separate egos the morphic field among people is probably very weak, or takes the form of an external rigid social structure such as money. Look at all those so-called spiritual communities where people have empathic hearts filled with compassion for everybody and they selflessly send love and light toward each other, and then as soon as the smallest financial issue comes up within the community everybody turns into evil little monsters who hate each other.
I was exaggerating a bit in my example, but you get the picture. First of all, being selfless is actually bad. Why? Because imagine 10 selfless people running around trying to serve each other. Where is the personal integrity and individual sovereignty in that? There is none. And the very term service means servitude where the person is either a slave or a savior, and both those roles are bad. The New Age slogan "service to self vs service to others" is a false dichotomy, or perhaps even a deliberate psyop to keep people controlled and divided.
Some people complain about automation, such as artificial intelligence and robotics taking over more and more jobs. I think that's excellent! Service is for robots. I doubt that a global collective consciousness will emerge if we continue to be forced to serve.
A global collective consciousness, that's a true morphic field which transcends and INCLUDES our individual selves.
-
Confusion is illusion. Why? Because is the universe ever confused about its manifestation? Not likely. Therefore confusion is a delusion of the separate ego.
Consciousness is a wholeness. Consciousness is never confused, when consciousness is defined as a state of being aware as a self. Notice that this means that the mind is different than consciousness. The mind is the content observed in consciousness.
"All" that we need to do to reach a higher level of mind is to reject confusion and cultivate clarity. Fear is itself not confusion yet rooted in confusion. The higher level of mind is thus fearless, which means it is the global mind and heart.

I did an experiment with breatharianism, the claim by some people and traditions (including Kriya yoga, level 3) that it's possible to live without food and water. What I discovered is that there is a survival tension inside the body and mind related to food and water.
And along the same line, there must be a survival tension about the whole of our ego lives and in addition to food and water also tension related to money, shelter and social interactions etc.
I'm really excited about that discovery and believe that those deep survival tensions—a result of millions of years of biological evolution, thousands of years of social conditioning and our lifetime of "indoctrination" one might almost say—can be dissolved with body awareness practice.
-
Hmm... The insight I got about breatharianism being about relaxing survival tension is all I need for now. I will start eating again. And then continue with the body awareness practice for a while focusing on the survival tension inside my body and mind. And only start dry fasting again if I sense there is a need for that.
-
Holy smoke! Now it's getting really interesting. I was thinking about how to shift from dry fasting to breatharianism. Those are similar states yet also very different in that dry fasting is meant as a temporary method and breatharianism is potentially a permanent state/stage/trait.
I was frustrated when I couldn't come up with an answer, and I couldn't find any clear information about it on the internet. Then recently when I was doing body awareness practice an idea came into my mind out of the blue about how with breatharianism it's possible to relax the tension about the need for food. That's a very, very deep survival tension! And I started to sense the beginning of a new kind of relaxation in my body.
That's the key difference! With breatharianism it's possible to relax the deeper survival tension.

2 hours ago, Emerald said:This is just more mental gymnastics to blind yourself to what would otherwise be obvious.
Just start to notice who he's "tough" on and who he's "easy" on. And it will be really clear that there are no parallels in this analogy between Trump and a Nazi protester.
It's true that some leader in for example Red often also can be very tough. But I sense a difference in Trump who integrates being nice and being tough at the same time in an impressive way. Trump can for example say "I love China" and be tough towards China at the same time. To me that indicates second tier value system.

3 hours ago, Zigzag Idiot said:I arrived at dry fasting intuitively in 2015. Taken as an exercise in conscious suffering, my body has never transformed more quickly.
Great! I will check out Ocke de Boer.
Gurdjieff had some method called Intentional Suffering. And yes, I'm doing a lot of body awareness practice in combination with the dry fast which has been going on for 24 hours now with only fairly mild hunger pangs and thirst. I guess that's a kind of conscious suffering when I do the body awareness practice.
-
Yay! Now I have been without food and water for 14 hours. I know, that's tiny but one of the biggest challenges is the habit of eating and drinking, so I'm satisfied with the result so far. And the psychology of eating and drinking habits is culturally and biologically very deep and Kevin describes as a hypothesis from about 9 minutes into this video why some people starve to death while others survive without food:

Time and space in our universe must as I see it be quantized. Think of it like pixels on a computer screen. Otherwise motion would be impossible, because with continuous time and space for a particle to move one inch it would first have to move half that distance, and before that half the half distance and so on and if there was no end to it the particle would never start moving!
BUT, the more fundamental time is continuous and it started now and goes on forever since infinity has no end.
Otherwise time had to have some beginning at some point other than the present moment. Impossible! Or the past stretching back an infinite number of years. Impossible!
