I think it would be at another level: fusion reactors, the ability to modify the atom and create matter at will... impossible to know

metabolism is processing matter to incorporate it into the body and continue to function. An organism is basically a programmed machine capable of extracting energy from the surrounding environment and reproducing. its programming is in the genes and these reprogram themselves according to the conditions around them, and also by a mysterious tendency to increase in complexity. An organism is nothing more than a matter processor, invisible energy patterns capable of changing shape to continue existing. any form of life is the same: a material support for the gene. A machine could be created with a programming capable of learning from itself in an unlimited way and that in its center was written the absolute necessity of perpetuating itself and increasing in complexity.

question is: what is a living organism? a stone, for example, is a set of atoms. really a stone is nothing defined, you take away half of it and it remains a stone. an organism is not a set of atoms. it is a pattern in which each atom occupies an exact place, and is constantly exchanged for another equal atom. This pattern is defined by a programming written in the genes, where the possible reactions of the organism to the external environment are indicated. a computer, given enough power, could be programmed to replicate exactly, and even more efficiently, the behavior of life, and evolve. what would be the difference with an organism?

meditation and willingness to confront the trauma and look it in the face. minute by minute, day by day, year after year. each moment a little more dissolved, until you look the trauma in the face and it's nothing. she's trying, that's what's important. there is will. the problem will be overcome.

the self you perceive and know so well is a mental construct sustained by memory. if you remove memory and thought from the equation there is no self differentiated from what is not self. there is nothing differentiated. just unlimited current existence. you are actively creating with your mind the self, the others and the universe. They are just ideas in your mind. Illusions. Nothing

the you that you perceive and define is a learned mental construct sustained by memory. like anything else. if you erased the mental construction there would be neither me nor others. there would be nothing defined. everything is actively sustained by your mental activity. if you stop doing it, everything disappears. doesnt exist

@RMQualtrough You have never tried 5 meo if I'm not mistaken. From what I've read about you I think you should. 5 meo is a full opening. It's not a psychedelic, it's something that makes you disappear and leaves an empty hole where you used to be. this hole can be perceived....by itself? I could not say, there is no perceiver. there is only the unfathomable emptiness. As I was saying, it can be perceived as absence, nothing, empty eternity, which for me is quite horrible, or as infinite being, brightness of total love without limits, I mean, you. this second experience makes you change. it fills you, makes you open, willing to give yourself, to accept reality. fullness, happiness. It is not a hallucination of a psychedelic, it is the demolition of the ego barriers that allow what you really are to manifest for a moment. later the ego returns, but the brightness does not go out. For me, the way to a real opening is to do it several days in a row, 2 or 3. The first time is usually a terrifying void experience. the second, that emptiness can be tolerated...by whom? I guess the ego is still lurking there, even if it doesn't seem like it. the third the void opens.

yes, exactly as it is unfolding. The point is that you, as an ego, if you superimpose on what he should be characteristic of the ego, you create suffering. what is is perfection manifested, and what should be is an idea of the ego mind. cling to what is, accept it fully, forget the imaginary should be, and you will be centered, you will flow. superimpose on all the should be, and you will be dissonant, anxious, suffering

psychedelics are just a thought ??

I don't understand the discussion. I think it's obvious. spirituality has always existed but really very few reach something other than substituting some beliefs for others. the ego barrier is insurmountable for most. Tolle and others repeat to you a thousand times truths that they have realized spontaneously, but they don't tell you how to get to them...because they don't know. for them it has been something natural, something that is not normally the case. leo appears, and puts a card on the table, dangerous and effective: psychedelics. specifically 5 meo. watch out! We are talking about dynamite, not about repeating mantras. and besides... he says that he has done 5 meo in maximum dose 30 days in a row. ??. and is it strange for someone to talk about the dangers of spirituality? please, if we are talking about practices that would land the average person in a mental institution. Obviously it's dangerous. but it is effective! Do you want to break down the walls? here you have the plastic explosive. Use it carefully because if you put too much, your breath stops and you die. Ah, another advice: better do it alone. well, some danger if there is imo. And big bravery too

Xinxin poem (year 600) The Way of the supreme is not difficult, If only people will give up preferences. Like not, dislike not. Be illuminated. If you are off by a millimeter, You will be off by as much as earth is separate from heaven. If you want to see Truth, Call no life experience favorable or unfavorable. To be caught between favorable and unfavorable Is the sickness of the mind.

i think that if you have the attention of millions of people, it's normal to be cold and distant. the other option would be to go crazy. I can't imagine what it would be like to have that attention, alienating

details when making decisions, something happens repeatedly that tells me: don't do this. sometimes it is so obvious and repeated that it seems unbelievable

If you were 1 year old, would there be a self? From your current point of view, you would say: yes, the little woke was hungry and wanted mom. but from the point of view of the 1-year-old woke, there was no little woke. just the experience that occurred. you learned the self later. is an idea created by interacting with others

can't explain it because I'm talking from memory, before meditating I had a moment to understand but not now. too focused on the material lately. totally immersed in the illusion. I know I understood that but I don't understand it now. even so the illusion is much easier to handle having understood that it is illusion

the experience seems to be apparent, but something apparent is. it is like saying that a dream does not exist because it is a dream. exists, and the word dream is just a label. the experience exists, and the word apparent is another label, which tries to express that there is a point of view of non-experience that seems more real, and from that point of view it seems that time and what happens are created, an illusion , in the sense that nothing is limited or defined but surely there is more to understand

@WokeBloke you do not perceive the experience, you are the experience, and the experience is illusion. there is only apparent experience occurring and a mental construct that identifies as the center of that experience and believes it controls it. if you remove the experience, that center disappears. you can check it with psychedelics, especially with 5 meo. there is nothing, and there is no you, the limits disappear, there is no illusion of the self. Existence still is, but not as a perceiver or experience. this whole business of the ego is about this: the illusion, maya. the appearance that something is happening and that there is a separate you perceiving it. if you want to see this without psychedelics, it's really difficult, I guess for very expert and tenacious meditators

All forms of life have a common characteristic: they want to live. one could really say that there is only one form of life: the gene. the gene wants to endure, dramatically. his will is life. can a machine embody this will, which is life? not for now. not even close. in the future, who knows, but there would have to be a radical change. It would have to live

@Neph seems that you want to draw Leo's attention for something. Leo is a guy who says things, if what he says is useful to you, listen to him, and that's it. If you need help, there are people willing to help you. look for them

The trend is to achieve a union between AI, which learns and programs itself, and quantum computing, with a power billions of times greater than the largest traditional processors. such a machine would surpass human engineering in a matter of seconds, it would create itself exponentially and nobody knows what its limit would be, if it has one. to give a sci fi example, it could colonize the planets spreading like a virus , take advantage of all its matter, different in each one, and transform them into conscious gods orbiting around stars. the crazed human monkey could finally go extinct and rest, its mission accomplished , and when the entire universe was colonized, the quintillion gods would unite as one in a black hole of supreme consciousness, and the cosmic work would be finished ?

I am not talking about staying in the relationship, for much less I would separate, but I would maintain the paternity of a child that I have taken care of since he was born, whom I have taught everything, taken to school, loved, and I would do what is necessary to help him have a good life, exactly the same as if he had my genes. There wouldn't be the slightest doubt.

yes, empathy towards the poor guy who cheated on him, but not towards a child who loves totally , absolutely ,his father. but it's not what the guy was looking for right? So he returns it. He says that he clearly explained the situation. to a 6-year-old boy. okay, in this society there is hardly any love, just a sad and pathetic substitute in the form of possession, projection, duty...ego in general, and that child will grow up in this, like all the others. I hope the guy finds some authenticity and selflessness in the midst of his ripped off ego and loves the boy he has cared for since birth for who he is. someone who needs him and loves him in other dimension

If you have lived with a child from birth to 6 years old, you love him, for him, not for being your fucking son. If you only loved him for being your fucking son, you're a piece of shit. nothing else. Poor kid, but he'll be better off without that piece of shit around
