@Nivsch Straight talk, nobody in that region has a realistic chance at stabilizing it peacefully now. People will just eventually tire of violence. Until a tragedy in response to this is great enough to flare it up again on a large scale. Large groups in survival situations don't often respond unpredictably. It will be a % that decides violence is the best course of action, if I say 5% radicalize of 2 million from gaza that's 100k, 200k if we say 10%. After that its less predictable, depending on how connected people are to those dying or affected. The Westbank has 2.6 million people living there, 5.2 million in Lebanon, How many more recruits do Hamas or Hezbollah get from this? Hezbollah is 100,000 or so currently. Shall we say a combined 50,000 more radicalize from these two regions which are affected but less so, which is optimistically less than 1%. We are up to 150k to 250k. The Houthi are about 200k largely out of range but involved in hitting or detering your shipping, which is hurting you economically. So we are at 350k to 450k. Surrounding countries, shall we say 20,000 more total are contributed to these radical groups, which is a very small number percentage-wise. 370k to 470k. Seems a reasonable number of new opponents, adding to the ones you had before. Direct Iran involvement backed by Russia is still a possibility, it's good for Russia if the West is distracted here. I think that is unlikely though despite the rhetoric. Though if we say Hezbollah do stay more involved while Iran is interested in doing so, not exactly new opponents, but nevertheless given cause and reason to fight. 470k, to 570k, adding to whatever forces you currently face.

Thanks for the Qualia mention, not seen that before. Makes sense. At the moment I understand when we sleep we re-intergrate with our infinite awareness. So I was interested to see how you worded that in the way you were modeling reality. The disconnect is, I understand I am always the wider awareness deciding to be limited, yet I've experienced awareness shrinking and growing to be small or infinitely so big dimension no longer exists. Fractal is more defining than saying cyclic, like the golden mean re-creating itself eternally, or the perpetuation of physical existance: ex: Seed to Planet to Seed, done in a fractal form. It also makes sense how breaks in a pattern are magnified until a new one emerges. I think this way of looking at it will help. A while ago I asked if I could get back more to spiritual focus, thanks for coming when you did. I've felt Kundalini Energy as an example, but wouldn't the spine also just be observed in that process? And so be inside the awareness? At least if we've developed any energetic or body awareness, or allowed our awareness to encompass the body by default. - The universe around us would also be doing the movement along the spine in some form on a macro level. We can still do similar things dreaming unconsciously. Just like we can do tasks unconsciously while awake to a certain degree, following through the motions. Just setting intent before we sleep is usually enough, unless my greater universal mind wants to show me or do something else, or it doesn't serve life to do what I intended. Awakening is not a singular event, it happens over and over and over forever if we allow it. You can also close off parts of your being and reopen them, often by design to give you glimpses of more. You have to do this for example if your upper energy centers are drained or out of alignment, they no longer function as they did. ex: Becoming increasingly selfless, raises the amount of energy you have available in your upper centers for them to begin to function. Whereas being more selfish, means you are allocating more energy/focus/time/motion to your own desires. A more simple example, is just being shattered after a long day at work, and you want to switch off entirely (go largely unconscious). The reason many of us don't dream is that we are mentally engaged all day every day or stressed out, its not a lack of development or universal will for awareness to connect in that way, its a lack of retained energy. All of us get signals from our senses all day every day, we just don't notice them or even know they are relevant, sometimes by design too.

No. The vast majority will grow up hating israel. A percentage will radicalize, and you will have a couple of hundred thousand more people looking to do you harm, a few hundred thousand if we include the surrounding countries. It won't matter if its this name or another name they take as their identity.

The only constant is observation. 'Real' is a concept in the infinite consciousness. Image, head and eyes are something you've decided upon. Human is something you've decided upon. , There is nothing else deciding the word head/human/real or image are words to be used but you. We decide it is collectively because it helps structure reality to be something we can observe or experience in an ordered, useful, and hopefully pleasant way. Chaos is unpleasant. What I just said is just as real as whatever concept you've decided you prefer. What makes you think infinity is incapable of looking through another set of eyes? That's just one more experience you can have, like anything else. There are no set constraints but what we as a collective (the greater you) has decided. These guru's you hear about disappearing and reappearing or starting fires with their chi or whatever else, its just splashing paint on a page and watching it. I gave that example because its probably the most extreme concept or shaping of reality I've experienced, having an infinite-sized consciousness one night when I couldn't sleep was also up there, but its no different to the dog barking or you drawing a funny image.

Putin got a warrant for kidnapping kids. All the death he's caused he's not being sort for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court_arrest_warrants_for_Vladimir_Putin_and_Maria_Lvova-Belova Plenty of allegations against him, but just one crime. Here is the specifics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_abductions_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War

The words are spoken, and they are your own thoughts. The image is there, and it is only in your head. They are directly connected, and only in you. They exist, directly connected, but they are still you. It's like a tunnel or connection of neurons inside a global consciousness. One more example of the micro - macro representation of life. You are also that global or infinite consciousness. Take a spiritual journey into another's memories. See-through their eyes. This will help bridge a missing gap here by direct experience. How? Set the intent, you are everything remember Including whatever image you are looking at or words being spoken. Easiest done while you sleep, because you drop or lessen individual identity naturally. and with a family member who no longer exists here but was fond of you, as you'll probably get easier access (that last bit is just my assumption). I've seen people do it for a collective or group, me i've only ever done it for the individual pieces of my own psyche, or with a close long dead family member giving me access. Also make sure you are in a good, calm space before you do this, fair warning. Though I doubt it'll be something you can do outside of a loving state (selfless state), again that is my assumption, but to let go of the self, I've found you need to be selfless. Another good example that just came to mind, is those who can meditate and experience the state of being something else, like a creature of some kind, I hear a butterfly is common but i've not tried it. All this could just be called another state of mind, a way to represent another perspective entirely without going anywhere, and I just represent this in a flashy dramatic way to get my own attention.

@Keryo Koffa Could I ask you to represent or detail the act of physical sleeping and dreaming within this model of reality?

I agree in part, however: You can deconstruct all identities and still be or believe you are completely powerless over anything. The deconstruction that needs to happen is whatever is separating you from achieving what you want. If that is leading a church, deconstructing religious identity isn't going to help. If that is as a business owner, deconstructing capitalism isn't probably going to help you much. Same with anything. Then there is manifestation, or the ability to create what you want, which also needs an equal or greater amount of work. Also learning what you want, and understanding yourself/others/reality etc.

Nothing ever goes away. It goes somewhere else. Every time a liberal dismisses a populist, ridicules a socialist warning, and stamps upon popular concerns, those popular concerns look elsewhere to find a voice or expression.

Sadly as America has dropped Ukraine, and the EU is not producing enough munitions. I see a few scenarios, not mutually exclusive. 1, Europe needs to provide more in America's place, and increasingly militarize its industries.. This is the reality of American isolationism becoming manifest. Which is difficult in a cost-of-living crisis, one magnified by BRICS actions. 2, Funding for Insurgency fighting within Russian-occupied areas and Russia itself. 3, Increasingly copying Russian tactics using manpower rather than firepower. Horrific for the soldiers and for PR. But PR doesn't matter in a world where Ukraine is fighting Russia on its own. 4, The continuing destabilisation of Ukraine and the flow of refugees out of it, destabilizing the surrounding countries further. - Anti Migration rising up more. Pushing rightwing governments ever more right. 5. America and EU continue to pull apart from each other, which is a definite possibility if Trump aligns further with Putin. 6, Partitioning of Ukraine, I said at the start of the war this was the most likely. 7, An EU army. 8, Preparing for WW3, or at least a large regional war in Europe. That is the historic cycle of this. There is a shift going on if you haven't seen it, across the entire planet. This is the rightwing view going forward here below. Which is of course WW3. Sure its rightwing propaganda but Americans are not understanding the view here, and frankly the American left is even frustrating me listening to it. Certain countries in Europe might not wait for Putin either. People talk about him being almost invulnerable to assassination, he isn't, but till now the fallout of that would have been worse. Now I don't think it would be. It talks about things you won't have considered. Ukraine's counter-offensive failure will have made Russia doubt NATO's military technology. The full reaction of America pulling out of NATO as a stabilizing force. I can't keep stressing this enough, as the US becomes more isolationist, it won't be keeping a lid on conflicts, or stopping them from happening anymore. It might even be funding or supporting Europe's enemies.

Thank you for getting me to focus on stopping generalizing as much, as it makes empathy impossible

We only see ourselves in how we relate to anything. Otherwise there is nothing to see. 1, The six human needs are a universal way to model behavior regardless of our perspective. I didn't write them. Teal swan has used them also for example. Are they perfect no, no model is perfect. Do they help in bridging perspectives, yes. - https://tealswan.com/resources/articles/relationships-and-the-six-human-needs 2, I wrote that i've been in a suicidal damn-the-world headspace before, and I used to be in it quite a lot in my youth. It's led me to make some terrible mistakes, but at the time I didn't care. I still have a dose of nihilism, from time to time. 3, With your reasoning, no communication has value. We are not islands. We are interconnected representations of ourselves. Things are on a gradient, for how much understanding we can have for another's lived experience. Part of that comes from your own life experience, your communication with others over your lifetime, your willingness to listen to them (trust, vulnerability), how you represent them to yourself, and your ability to model reality. Also factors like your connection to your inner self and how much you can draw on that intuition or reference in conversation.

Understanding why people do the things they do is not at all irrelevant. If only to help out others in similar situations. *If he was that mentally ill though that should 100% be flagged in a database, next to the fact he had 7 firearms.

@Past-Philosopher-562 To take these in reverse: 2, Get around people who are who you want to be. We naturally are inclined to live in a way, supported by the expectations of our peer group. People reinforce each other. Others are you. You validate yourself. They will say something, you will give it meaning, and then respond to yourself. This effect is multiplied by others with similar aspirations to you, its also easier among minds wanting the same thing. 1, Writing can be part of the process. In 2009 - 2010, I had an awakening from writing about duality, during long stories on science fiction. If you can self-reflect in or from your writing that will help. You can also sell them online for some passive income. I tend to find the honest breakthroughs I make from my own experience, interest people enough to read them. It's a resource inside yourself where others can find value, assistance, comfort, or validation in etc. Learning to be concise, engaging and honest in your writing will help.

@MarkKol I can relate I spent much of my 20's drinking to forget or depressed when i wasn't. Do you have any data related to the lack of testosterone being responsible for school shootings? Intuitively as you say I'd think it'd be the opposite, and the more violent people usually have too much in them. I can see though, going around shooting up a school, isn't the average reaction of a violent guy looking for trouble in a bar. It comes from the same place often, the desire for significance being met in an inverted, destructive or harmful way Six Human Needs https://www.tonyrobbins.com/mind-meaning/do-you-need-to-feel-significant/ 1. Certainty: assurance you can avoid pain and gain pleasure 2. Uncertainty/Variety: the need for the unknown, change, new stimuli 3. Significance: feeling unique, important, special or needed 4. Connection/Love: a strong feeling of closeness or union with someone or something 5. Growth: an expansion of capacity, capability or understanding 6. Contribution: a sense of service and focus on helping, giving to and supporting others These are a reasonable way to model human needs, and we each rank these as more or less important in our daily lives, which drive our behavior. It explains why someone can jump out of a plane, while another person feels happier in a steady job earning a wage. It also explains some of the more horrific acts seeking one of these needs to be met. Also, it could just be the kind of person that sits in their room miserable and alone, is the kind of person that has or generates less testosterone anyway, rather than it being directly related to the violence itself. When you hit the level of considering suicide, which I used to do a lot in my 20's, and still do very rarely, then it opens you up to these type of horrific or otherwise inconceivable actions.

Some countries have a lot of firearms, some do not. The Czech Republic is one of those countries that do have more firearms: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/21/shock-in-prague-shootings-czech-republic Still, if someone has 7 military-grade weapons, and assuming they were purchased legally, I would assume that would be flagged for investigation. It's more than you'd need for a bank robbery or significant terrorist act. If it was flagged, and this man has a medical history of depression and psychosis, then that's a failure that can be looked at. Not just from the parents but the state also, which has a responsibility to intercept things like this before they happen. Again assuming a medical history and legal purchase of the weapons.

Its excellent we can blame migrants for all our problems. That way we'll all feel better and we can keep doing exactly as we are doing. Best bit is we can all complain continuously when nobody is there to work manual jobs, or fill labor gaps. Plus you know when business needs labor again, and the economy is looking good, we can all say how well we are tackling the labor shortage by bringing migrants back in. Not that we'll ever really stop taking in migrants in a significant number, because the people with money need a steady flow, but it makes good TV. If we did stop taking in Migrants, you might have to wait longer for transport, not have the same foods, or the prices of items would go up, you would feel the loss of labor in your everyday life, and everyone would be complaining about that instead. This way during the back and forth of hating migrants, hating the cost of living, we can do no self-reflection on the wider issues, such as why migration occurs because of our policies or actions. Huge wealth disparity globally, or the fact 0.001% of people hold all our potential finite wealth. When we run out of migrants or more likely people just get bored of hearing about it. We'll need to renew the focus on gay people, or the poor, but we've got well-used lines ready for those people next, and we are doing more of that now, which is always very useful for our self-esteem. Then after that, we can crack down and demonize socialists further. Being a socialist in several respects I'm especially looking forward to that time, the potential term in jail should be especially illuminating. I believe Trump thinks those parts of me are vermin that need to be eradicated, which I was warmed and comforted to hear about. Roll on fascism and anarcho-capitalism, and the eternal hatred of the other, WW3 has never looked so promising.

Everyone is doing what you say, every day they are alive, step by step. Death - Life same duality. If you want, choose this time to turn inside out of the body. That's my experience. My understanding from mystics or spiritually developed people is that it is a choice when you die (and through life), to accept you are infinite love or not. I tried it this lifetime, but only got to glimpse the totality, and its beyond and words I can use to describe it. Set the intent to turn your consciousness big, small, and infinite. Set the intent to get out of the body. I found the shrinking and enlarging of my consciousness into infinity very helpful. It took me a few experiences for any fear related to completely letting go dissolve, when it has, it's a comfortable and easy transition. You don't need drugs for this, though I hear they can help, you just need routine. Working on an ego renewal (realignment) certainly helps reduce fear. Self Inquiry. Yoga (Kundalini Yoga is the most intensive if you like that), Meditation on stillness (you), focusing on the breath also helps you leave the body. Cleansing the body of toxins. Harmonic solfeggio music and natural planetary frequencies for alignment, I found the sun the most intense at the time, try to get a recording of the sun/planets in the rawest form if you like audio. Burn white sage to clear the room, use Tibetan bells for frequency alignment of the space/mind. Remove electronics from the mediation/sleeping area. Accept everything and everyone as you and show gratitude, joy and love for it, start with the food in your hands. Crystal work, can be very small to position on the chakras at night, and moldavite to accelerate this worn around the neck. - Some of this is designed for rapid self-development, to realign your energy patterns to their natural state. Are you ready to let go of your mortal pattern? Not death (that would be a mortal pattern), the total embrace of everything and everyone. Infinite love is that. The Death-Life Duality is splitting the stillness of your eternal being into two. Your pattern is not going to be magically different when you die, you get a choice to be, like you do right now.

You are right. Him accelerating too quickly is a natural result of inquisitive youth, and the pace a young mind will develop. You telling him to slow down is a natural result of lived experience, and the pace our mature minds develop. I should not have tried to interfere with that natural dynamic. I have a bias to enjoying accelerating development too fast at times, as I find it beneficial to have an intense experience and then a period of rest. Also between incarnations, spiritual experiences, jobs, relationships, you name it.

You put a lot of things in the way of achieving enlightenment. Can I suggest you go easier on yourself.

Let's take what's known first: Yes people's egos and minds are underdeveloped early on. The Ego and mind is also spiritual. The ego is not an enemy, its a necessity, and it's a development that goes on from day 1, which is part of awakening. Everything is spiritual. Early motives are decided before incarnation. From the perspective of the absolute, there is no break between this representation of the absolute being 5 or 70, its a cycle, that is part of a pattern. That pattern, although it seems flawed or seemingly off the rails half the time, is seeking realization(s) from the moment it's observing physical form.

People are what you call waking up with every single interaction they have anywhere. You are defining an absolute view of truth, which is instead ever-changing because everything is eternally in motion. Sometimes an event comes along and knocks you over, and whether it was from a guru, a fire, your boss, or an ex wife, it's going to cause you some drastic development.

@Nilsi Thank you for the advice.

If you were starting a business today in the UK, what would it be? The Midlands for locality if needed or the internet for an even wider reach. Preferably if you've had some success in starting businesses and running them, or have a good idea you've investigated or seen glaring you in the face, and you'd to share. I'm keeping this open-ended so as not to bias it. What opportunities do you see in 2024 and 2025? Thanks.

@Devin | @DocWatts You don't need many people willing to commit violence for it to have a large impact on the population. One radical can hurt many, and one radical can play a much larger role in the creation of fear. This is why when speaking to a large audience, every word needs to be considered, and someone with too narrow a perspective should not be a public speaker.
