Cheers, thanks.

Chinese government calling for regulation in AI, and willing to share and cooperate with smaller countries.

If you have everything you always wanted, what is preventing you from simply enjoying that ? Cultivating curiosity, appreciation, and a sense of wonder for the mystery of life, without demanding immediate answers, is a good place to be. Another good one to investigate, when you look at yourself in the mirror, can you say I love you without any resistance ? If not, then perhaps look for deeper understanding as to how you view yourself and why you have that perspective. Getting to know yourself better first is a good doorway.

@Leo Gura So is solipsism simply a pointer to realize yourself as God in a deeper reality, and that deeper reality is actually not solipsistic at all ?

Thank you for the pointers, much appreciated.

I dont live in America, but if I did I would go visit the ECETI ranch, seems like a place with a high likelyhood of seeing these highly advanced craft. People have reported experiencing a high degree of love while witnessing them.

This is wild, do you know what the name of the instrument is in the first video ?

I like that, thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you for your patience in talking about this topic.

Yeah, why would a solipsistic sage tell apparent others about solipsism, if those apparent others didnt have minds of their own ?

Of course from the Absolute level there are no others. But in the relative level, Ramana didnt say that apparent others dont have minds.

Well now you are basically admitting the validity of apparent others who have the potential to wake up to God.

Yes, from the ultimate level there is just One. Still, if you have awakened to solipsism, whats the sense in telling me about it ? Also, Leo is brilliant, but somehow he is the only prominent teacher in all of history that teaches solipsism.

I didnt say it was justified.

But thats precisely it, the other fingers can also awaken and see that they actually are the whole. You yourself at one point believed yourself to be just a finger no different from the way the other fingers see themselves. Which means the vehicle you used to awaken is just as imaginary as all the other vehicles. Why should you have a more special claim to Consciousness than any of the other fingers ? Saying that the apparent others cant awaken because they are imaginary, does not make sense, because you as a finger/tentacle are also imaginary.

What is your defenition of energy then ? And how do you explain the energy in a city feeling markedly different to say the energy in a jungle ?

@Leo Gura Please can you move this thread to Personal Development. Somehow it doesn't feel right to have Art in the Off topic section.

A thread for artistic inspiration, and to discover new and old art and artists, in various mediums.

Exactly, intentional community can work if their is a strong enough intention behind it.

No one is implying China are angels. But the fact that all it's citizens live in homes, means that something good is also happening there. It makes it easier for people to do consciousness work when their basic needs are met.

This is true, they have basically quietly colonized Africa for it's resources. But the fact that all their people live in homes shows there's also something amazing happening in China.

This still does not exclude the possibility that all dream characters have the potential to realize That. The One and the apparent many.

We talk about other characters being imagined. But even my own character is a figment of my imagination. Which means my character is no different from any of the other dream characters. Essentially I have the ability to wake up in the video game. Why do all the other equally imaginary characters not also have the same potential ?
