@Hojo This topic is philosophy in action. You're philosophizing the subject of philosophy.

There is safety in numbers.

@Natasha Tori Maru That inspired me to catch up on some Ralston wisdom on suffering. The basic gist of it........ When you recognize suffering in the same way as boiling water you will stop putting your hand in it.

God knew you before you were formed in the womb.

People generally equate dreaming with sleep but maybe we should rethink that.

Ever awaken from a dream that is so real you're not sure which is the true reality?

@Jirh Thought = form. If that's the case, I'll be sure to dream good thoughts for all.

I was once deceived by the experience of reality thinking it was the absolute reality. Wow was I wrong. This is just a sandbox in comparison to what true reality is.

Interesting. So, you're saying I dream of an event then make it happen? Never thought of it that way.

The visions are clear now. I see all possible futures at once. Q: How do you know future events before they happen? A: From my dreams. Q: Do all of your dreams come true? A: No. But I know which ones will.

When you are in deep meditation and the world no longer exists, there will always be someone to hold it in place. -Just my perspective.

The Ego Can Fade. But the Absolute Self Remains. The Absolute self is beyond the ego’s limited identification. It is timeless and independent of any external relation, unlike the ego which is bound to experience.

@Joseph Maynor If you ever need advice on the structure of your home see me first.

That's why auto mechanics never mention what they do for a living.

Have any experience with H.O. ins. co. that don't want to pay up after a flood? They send a remediation crew out to do the tear out. But they are giving me the run around on the build back. And I'm about ready to sue their ass.

I'm a rainbow.

This describes my first experience of no-self to a "T".

In the words of Sri Niagaradasti "Sugar can't taste sugar"

@phillyvx I remember having my first glimpse of truth and it was quite unsettling. But then one day I realized reality hadn't changed one bit. What did change was the way I viewed it.

Superposition is actually a key feature of large language models. It's the ability to pack multiple concepts into the same representational space, allowing LLMs to be more efficient than their size might suggest.

Today's AI is pretty amazing considering its still in its infancy. But when quantum computing becomes part of AI, superposition will take things to a whole other level. It will be able to "think" (process) in multiple states simultaneously.

No one has ever had a "direct" experience with the "physical" world. But we're taking it to the next level now.

We could simplify this by looking a digital camera that uses AI for facial recognition. Is it actually conscious that it is looking at someone's face?

Yes, I have no actual proof of who or what is conscious. The truest answer would be you will never know.

You're correct, I can't confirm anyone's consciousness, but when you have 80,000 people in a stadium watching a football game, just by their spontaneous reaction one can pretty much assume they are all sharing the same conscious experience.
