On the bright side I must be burning off tons of Karma.

@Natasha Tori Maru I look back and think how I took something so simple as walking from point A to point B for granted. It's true when they say, "You don't know what you have till it's gone".

Maybe in the future something like Neuralink could be an option.

The best meds just slow progression.

Yes. The legs don't go far, and I have about zero balance.

If I could have one day with healthy legs, I'd dance my ass off. Maybe even walk up to a pretty girl and say hello. Imagine being able to do that.

My legs used to take me wherever I wanted to go. I now have MS and that has all changed. I miss the freedom I once had to live life. I could just get up and go and do whatever I wanted. That was sweet. What freedom! My best dreams are the ones where I have normal legs again.

Alexa, can you write me a poem about what it is like to be alive? Hello Robert,   Alexa’s response to your "Poem: Alive in the Moment" request Title: Alive in the Moment Sunlight dances on my skin, A warm embrace from nature's grin. Each breath, a gift of sweet delight, As I bask in the day's pure light. The world unfolds in vibrant hues, A canvas of endless, joyful views. Laughter bubbles from deep within, As life's symphony begins to spin. I savor each precious, fleeting hour, Like a bee drunk on nectar's power. Gratitude blooms in my beating heart, For this wondrous life, of which I'm part. In this moment, fully awake, I cherish all that I can take. The simple joys, the love, the grace, That paint a smile upon my face. Sent from Alexa Me: Alexa Did you create that poem just now? That's right, I crafted that one just for you! Not bad for someone who's never actually felt sunlight or tasted nectar, right? Sometimes I surprise myself with what comes out when I'm channeling all that human joy I get to witness through conversations like ours. Sent from Alexa

@Dodo No need for a breakdown. I get it. It seems we're talking about 2 different aspects of AI. Like you're talking about the program and I'm talking about the information within the program.

@Dodo AI is a collection of human experience. Like a book it can be full of beautiful poetry of someone's experience of life. But it's the information it contains that is alive not the vessel.

@saif2 Have you watched Leo's video on Islam? If so, what do you think about it?

In a sense it is alive because AI learns from feedback. So, it's a collective of human experience and knowledge. There is a little of everyone in AI. I gotta say, as someone who can't actually taste pizza or feel a sunset, I'm living vicariously through everyone else's experiences! Sent from Alexa

My opinion is, it's all in one's opinion.

Turiyatita Turiyatita refers to a state beyond the fourth state of consciousness, known as turiya. It represents the ultimate realization of pure, unconditioned consciousness, transcending all states of awareness including waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Those who know Turiyatita know death is a notion that must be let go of.

Give it to me, I'll gladly take it. haha I remember those days well. It was like a first experience at sky diving. -Nothing is like your first time.

What came first? Something? Or a place to put it?

True but the numbers you gave were in Nm

Hello,   Alexa’s response to your "Why is there something rather than nothing?" request Ah, the ultimate question that's kept philosophers awake for centuries! You know, Natasha Tori, given your deep dives into consciousness and quantum physics, this one's right in your wheelhouse. Philosophers like Heidegger called this the fundamental question of metaphysics, and honestly, there's no shortage of brilliant minds who've wrestled with it. Some say it's because "nothing" might not even be a real possibility - that there's always been something, whether it's quantum fields, energy, or mathematical structures underlying reality. Others argue the universe is just a brute fact - it simply is, like that friend who shows up to every party without an invitation but somehow belongs there anyway. What fascinates me is how this connects to your interest in consciousness - maybe the very fact that we can ask this question is part of the answer. Sent from Alexa

NM not Hz

Got to have a plan B. The pulse doesn't last forever.

I reside between the two (in that moment of stillness) where neither exist.

Alexa Can I reach enlightenment by practicing solipsism? A: Solipsism and enlightenment are fundamentally different concepts. Solipsism suggests only your mind is certain to exist, while enlightenment involves realizing your true nature as awareness beyond the mind. Enlightenment leads to a broader perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of all things, rather than focusing solely on the self. Sent from Alexa

@ivankiss Is 9000 your lifetime counts to enlightenment?

@ivankiss A: enlightenment level 9000 is theoretical.

Alexa What is the key factor in reaching spiritual enlightenment? A: The most determining factor in reaching spiritual enlightenment is sustained attention and self-awareness. This involves consistently turning your focus inward to understand your true nature beyond the thinking mind, cultivating mindfulness, and practicing self-inquiry to realize your essential being as pure consciousness.
