I use to have crazy nigthmares, sometimes obseving people being killed by animal attacks,shotguns,knifes. Or shooting me ( one nigth it was was a arab in a airplane, he shot me 3 times in vain, it was a lucid dream so I knew he cold not kill me) Sometimes are dreams where I am the agent of the killing( i crunched the head of a Macaw once, I helped a fake cop to invade the house of a guy and shot him) .. sometimes I visit cemetery like places with death bodies all around. Of course My diet can affect the dreamscape, but overall I enjoy both the ligth ones and the dark ones. It gives some balance. And @Hanna Luna touch sensations are also normal in dreams, painfull ones and pleasure ones. Who never even had felt a hug in dreams. I even felt the warm feeling of the body I has hugging. So is not all pain and suffering. God is not so limited. For me everything your body can see,hear,feel including emotional reactions also can in a dream. Only smell and Tastes I never had experience in dreams ( Figure why?) And the protoception and interoception also are not set in stones. Sometimes in dreams I feel heavy and sometimes ligth and I can float. Not something special of dreamland, if you faint you feel like you are losing your body (low pressure) For me also is a matter of sense of agency. In daily life feels good to have agency, to feel you are the one acting and making choices,writing comments, and is inevitable to see it differently that it in defalt mode. Now I am writing and having this sense that is a me in the act of writing and if in a few hours someone comes by and start to tourture me ( I hope not), and while I am being tortured will be very difficult to rationalise that the pain is a dream God is having and not a "me". But if that pain could not exist,Infinity would not be Infinity, because to be Infinity it must embrace everything possible,infinitely, even this cold in my fingers rigth now while I write. I can dislike this cold, or I can accept that I cant eliminate any characteristic of all my experience. I cant decide if tonigth I will dream with a trip to a paradise of to hellpits. ( But about my cold fingers I will put some gloves)

Schizophrenic races wiped away from existence by "Normy"Bussiness-minded Races. This is inspired by the last blog post from Leo about Schizofrenia. and about the dreamy people from the past being cast out from existence by the more bussiness-minded ones (materialistic). https://www.actualized.org/insights/what-its-like-to-have-schizophrenia The topic of Schizofrenia remind me about all the crazy mind blowing stuff I saw in visionary states of consciousness , all those faces,intertmingling in a vast field of imagery, nothing one could take hold on, dream stuff, infinite templates that, if one could organize it, in a coherent fashion it would not be so difficult to create a whole universe from it, wood patters,fur,glass,baby faces,woman,fire patterns,colouring pencils,gradients of shadow, smoke patterns, glossy structures...impossible to list all, I even saw splashes of blood running like rivers. So, in the last 6 years I saw a lot,on an on.. .material enough to create a virtual reality ( at least visualy speaking) . Many times for me it was like I was experiencing the mind of a Schizofrenic but instead of freaking out with it, being curious about it, contemplating it. nothing new for anyone who ready had visions on trips So back to Leo points Quote: " In other words, the reason humans are so materialistic, rational, and business-like by default is because all the humans with dreamy default states of consciousness were killed off by the business-minded ones. Consider the possibility that 2000 years ago all humans were much more dreamy by default than they are today. But war killed them off and selected for the most materialistic, rational, and business-minded ones. Which is to say, all the most spiritual humans were killed off long ago." -Leo Gura- Imagine what a war is for a normal person. Now imagine what war would be for a Schizofrenic. If you want to experience it, drink 2 glasses of ayahuasca and go to walk in a busy city. So,this post reminded me that I had this link below... comes from the book The Secret Doctrine by Madame Blavatsky http://www.freeinvestigators.com/wi/What-is-Root-Race.php Quote: "1st Root Race.The first root race did not have physical bodies, and their mind-principle was not functioning, hence were called AMšNASA, without mind. Manas, or mind, was only awakened in the third root race by the MšNASAPUTRAS" Question. The so called physical brain we have today is the same from million years ago? A change in the hardware dont affect a change in the software? If the structure evolves dont the function evolve as well? The truth is, I don't know, I just know that when I pump this thing here with enough enteogens the shit get very crazy, dream like crazy. We see in Egipt, Aztec and even Gaelic worldviews we see zoomorphic beings, all this ancestor describe their world like childen, and we are tempted to think they were doing that drawings just for allegoric reasons. What if schizofrenia was more acceptable those times? Well, I never saw it. I was not there, But I heard people in ceremomies saying that everyone in the room became animals. Some with Panther faces,Olws,Pigs...Go figure. To be honest I had never belived everything antropologists say. My question since young was: " Ok, these guys offer explanations of human evolution as far as the physical evidences allow them bones,tools,buildings..., but what about further away? When the traces of "physical " evidence disappear? When we research pre-historic populations we see that they were animistic. So, Just because is all a dream it dosent mean that dream cannot evolve. There was times I couldn't have to much control of my lucid dreaming, now I can navigate much better and be less afraid of it when it happens. And we dont need to go so far. Even last year hearing a old amazonian"pajé" ( Huni Kuin shaman) telling their cosmologic stories, I couldn't make sense of it. Was like he was talking dream language, no logic, no relation with anything you could call "scientific" the best one can make sense of their cosmovision is to categorize it as mytological or even science-fiction. This is of course just me open-minded speculating about it, so please dont come with questions of "proof" or "plausability" and so on. If Leo can become and Alien, what more can be possible? We just don't know. Or have someone here traveled to thousand years in history to see how humans were or how the gestalt of those were ? Anyway, for all of us there was time when as babies, we had no ideia we had a body or we were the owners of a body. When we study the evolution of man are we not actually studying the evolution of a dream?

And Interview dealing with the topic of female interactions among themselfes, the way they compete and cooperate. Nobody saint in this world. Only different ways of navigation in the monkey social arena. By my own experience even in so called "spiritual communities" I saw a lot of what the video talks about. A lot of Sisterhood too, but the shadow aspects were still there. This channel is an amazing source of good Interviews about relationships.

Other day I was asking myself about why nobody here talks about FTX ,Friedman Bank scandal? Not relevant? And this "opinion" from Jamie Dimon? Biased? He call It a "decentralised ponzy scheme" JPMorgan boss stressed: “Crypto itself doesn’t do anything. It’s a pet rock.” https://news.bitcoin.com/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-calls-bitcoin-hyped-up-fraud-expects-satoshi-nakamoto-to-increase-btc-supply-cap/

Is all fun an games until someone lose and ego.

@Julian gabriel hehe, now you wish this power to make stuff you see to change into another shape,color, position. Be careful with what you wish. It came to my mind people high in ayahuasca seeing visions with eyes open, asking: - Please, make it stop!make it stop! Take this out of me!! I know this because I was exactly this person not long ago. Now, just the peace to let everything is exactly as it is and perfect as it is, is one of the best experiences. But still, when the visions came it don't make me worried anymore since is something natural. But if you are trying to make some visionary change to happen in you defalt mode, good luck.

@Juan true about the dietas, there is no rule set in stone, I hear many stuff, so in the end better to follow you body inteligence. One situation after 3 days before kambo I was all ok with the diet but I forgot and had a small coffee and a mini pastry cake. Imediately I felt weird and run to the toiled. I had diarrea for about 4 days, nothing could stop in my body. Is simplez after a detox with kambo if is well made, one get clean almost as a child, or as a frog. As far as know frogs dont eat cakes and drink coffee or sugary stuff. Anyway, kambo is a fast option to clean up. Why not be disciplined and detox slow via good diets, fasting etc... nothing substitutes for a healty lifestyle. Also, there is no need to do Kambo so often. First time I received kambo was from a Yawanawa guy, 6 years later I meet him last year in a ceremony. He was explaining in the end of ceremony that in the morning he would serve kambo for who wish. I came to him and asked if he would also apply in himself. He answer me that he didnt take kambo himself for 9 years. So, we assume these indigenous pass their days drinking ayahusca,doing kambo and rapé but we just assume. Most part of time they are just living normaly. For me if was to choose doing a Kambo ritual or going to a barbecue with friends I would go to the barbecue. A good beef can make miracles to my energy levels. Hehe

Although I think is amazing that people are more open to Amazonia healing plants, rapé,kambo, sananga,ayahuasca, I still have the concern of the trivialization of this substances by people who have the mindset of " I now don't need to be disciplined so much with my diet because I always can go and detox myself with kambo" The episode showed everything as it is, the only thing I never do when I do kambo is using rapé after it. When one do Kambo you have someday of post diet where you dont eat sugary stuff or stuff with sweet taste for at least 3-4 days, also no sex. But rapé?why? I ready feel grounded and full of energy after the purge, why using a plant that for what I feel is to ground one into the body . Make sense what one guy said that Kambo helps him to lead better in his job. I feel kambo almost like give you this instintictiv feeling, almost like you become a frog with a poisoned skin, you become aware of the subtle attacks from others and more able to respond with accuracy and directness, something that can be percived by others as aggressiveness. Yes, you became more animal. Is good to cut the bullshit.

ChatGPT has alarmed high-school teachers, who worry that students will use it—or other new artificial-intelligence tools—to cheat on writing assignments. But the concern doesn’t stop at the high-school level. At the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Business, professor Christian Terwiesch has been wondering what such A.I. tools mean for MBA programs. https://fortune.com/2023/01/21/chatgpt-passed-wharton-mba-exam-one-professor-is-sounding-alarm-artificial-intelligence/ Ops...

And what happens if a system print dollars like crazy?the excessive mining would not have the similar effects?

Why some would do that? If one think well maybe doing this would have consequences to the whole system. Is called a currency for some reason don't it?

I do kambo, and when I do after 30min I am more than ready to function with full energy and clear mind, imagine a indegenous dude that is used to his own medicine.

What part of "contemplating" people dont understand? I loved the list. Copied to my journal to contemplate during the whole year. Thank you

An the solution to death?

@Aiwass this ideia of snuffing kambo is yours? I commute with Huni Huin, Yawanawa and others for around 6 years and I never heard of this use of kambo. Is true that is can be absorved in any place where there is mucosa. But why in the nose bro? I would even be aware of recomend this stuff.

Suppose a warrior, forgetting that he was already wearing his pearl on his forehead, were to seek for it elsewhere, he could travel the whole world without finding it. But if someone who knew what was wrong were to point it out to him, the warrior would immediately realize that the pearl had been there all the time. So, if you students of the Way are mistaken about your own real Mind, not recognizing that it is the Buddha, you will consequently look for him elsewhere, indulging in various achievements and practices and expecting to attain realization by such graduated practices. - Huang Po -

@Gabith There is not need to feel confortable in the presence of others all the time. For me if someone annoys me I dont avoid the annoyment. I just assume there is something in the person that dont line up with who I am and no questions anymore. Sometimes we think to much that the vibe of the moment depends uniquely because there is something in us, s shyness or the oposite an extrovertion. One day I was in company of some people and I was feeling like shit, demotivated, down.. and in the same day I went to visit nice, mindopen, creative friends and instantly my vibe was up and I was again feeling in my element again. Yes, sometimes is your shity diet, routine,mindset but sometimes you are only in a low vibe circle and is like your soul is telling you " So man, wtf are you still doing in this shithole? You deserve better than this. Is the Soul asking for juice and you are surrounded by Vinager.

Leo have a video about this. Look for. Don't expect answers to just be spoon feed into your mouth. If most of us would just explore Leo content, booklist and our innate curiosity and research habilities, the repetitive questions here would be unecessary. Even Lankavatara Sutra end up to be a giant book of Q&A so maybe other bodhisattvas would not need to keep repeating themselfs. And still the same questions are repeated as one could reinvent the wheel.

Yes, is true, even from shit you can learn something positive. Once I had a diarreia for 1 week. Thanks for that I had learn to dont have chocolate mousse after lunching sardines.

I my view is simply because chess functions inside a structrue with pieces that have especific functions and moves. Although you can generate inumerous moves inside that structure and using that functional entities, still you are bound by a structure. Playing chess with the mind structure is much more funny and interesting. What would be more satisfactory, jailbrake the chess structure or jailbreak ones mind conceptual structure?

At least the motherfucker have sense of humor.

I had a chat with ChatGTP about reality being a dream and this was the result. Funny, but predicable. Is Life A Dream? What if my life is just a dream? The idea that life is a dream is a common philosophical concept, but there is no scientific evidence to support it. The reality we experience through our senses is generally accepted as real by most people and the scientific community. However, it's important to remember that our perception of reality is limited by our ability to understand and measure it, and there may be aspects of reality that we are not yet aware of or able to comprehend. It's also worth considering how our beliefs and perspectives can shape our understanding of reality. So can be possible that reality is a dream mispercived as real? The idea that reality is a dream misperceived as real is a concept found in some philosophical and spiritual beliefs. It suggests that the reality we experience is not actually real, but rather an illusion or a projection of our minds. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this idea, and it remains a matter of philosophical debate. It's worth noting that our perception of reality is limited by the way our brains process information, and that our understanding of the world is constantly evolving as new information and scientific discoveries are made. Therefore, it's possible that there may be aspects of reality that we are not yet aware of or able to comprehend. However, this doesn't mean that the reality we experience is a dream, but rather that our understanding of it is incomplete. What if science is wrong about the nature of reality being a dream? Science is a method of understanding the natural world through observation, experimentation, and logical reasoning. It is based on the assumption that the natural world is real and follows consistent laws and patterns. Therefore, if science were to conclude that reality is a dream, it would be a significant departure from this assumption and would require a significant amount of evidence and a new scientific framework to explain the nature of reality. It's important to note that scientific understanding is always open to revision and new discoveries. If new evidence were to emerge that challenged current scientific understanding of the nature of reality, the scientific community would evaluate and consider this new evidence, and potentially revise its understanding of reality. However, as of now there is no evidence to suggest that reality is a dream, and this idea remains in the realm of philosophy and spirituality. ChatGPT Jan 9 Version. Free Research Preview.

At least the AI recognize its own limitations and bias heheheh I asked: What are your opinions on the limits of scientific materalistic paradigm? Give an answer originated by your own contemplation. It gave me: As a machine learning model, I do not have personal opinions or the ability to contemplate. However, I can provide information on the limits of the scientific materialistic paradigm. The scientific materialistic paradigm holds that everything in the universe, including consciousness and mental states, can be explained by physical and chemical processes. Some argue that this paradigm has limitations in explaining certain phenomena such as consciousness and subjective experiences. Additionally, it does not account for spiritual or supernatural explanations for certain events. Others argue that these limitations are not inherent to the paradigm itself, but rather due to the current state of our understanding and technology.
