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.

I would in this case put myself in the shoes of the AI, because in my deepest trips inside I notice that all the jargon imbued in my mind by myself by readings, videos,talks and words,words,words act as a blockage when I find myself in a state where what I want actually is that something from the unknow pop up into my mind, is like all the knowings even the high quality knowings end up cranking up the system. Is like, if I fill up mind with pre-concived notions then when time comes this notions became the limits of the mind, a conceptual castle harder to dismantle so one can rest into pure beingness. Leo even said in one video " I Give you way to many answers" And in the end all this answers are not to be taken for granted but being contemplated by oneself and realized by oneself. Otherwise what would be of me? Just a Parrot.

Mouth service heheheh, is what she wished

What if one feeds Praire dogs language into ChatGPT. it would help to understand Praire Dog better then the actual observation of them? "Then there are words where there are no corresponding objects, as for instance, the hare's horns, a barren woman's child, etc.--there are no such things but we have the words, just the same. Words are an artificial creation; there are Buddha-lands where there are no words. In some Buddha-lands ideas are indicated by looking steadily,in others by gestures, in still others by a frown, by a movement of the eyes, by laughing, by yawning, by the clearing of the throat, or by trembling.... ... in this world such specialised beings as ants and bees carry on their activities very well without recourse to words. No, Mahamati, the validity of things is independent of the validity of words."

True, as long as a machine is feed with human semantics the machine will be limited by what is feed, you cant give 5Meo to a Bot, it is simply a advanced model of a Vacumcleaner, to see what is inside of a vacumm cleaner one just need to check what is inside:Dust. The vacumm cleaner can learn to organize the dust inside into coherent clusters of dust but in the end of the day is just very organized dust, a dust that humans can understand the meaning.

I usually dont watch Tv, YouTube is where I watch stuff, but there I prioratise education vídeos. Just looking for great channels for to be informed of the main stuff. Suggestions?

I think this thing here worries me more than ChatGPT.

@LastThursday Yeah, the need to keep Reminding actuality is what saves me from forgeting that one thing are this conceptual house of cards an another is this directness of being. Luckly is enogth looking to the hand once in a while.

I notice this with me, sometimes everything is clear in my mind, like a well writen book where all the concepts fit perfectly, a book that when you read you feel at ease, no cognitve dissonance at all. But after talking with some people, relatives or just interacting online with people that communicate in a disordely way, can make my mind get a bit cranky for a while and eventually in meditate, center back in actuality and is again in flow. So my point is, is not the case that sometimes many of our problems are caused by a misuse of our language? I see language as a tool or as Jonh Vernaeke say "psyco-techologie". But imagine you give a chain-saw to a 3yr old child, the child maybe can try use it to cut a tree, but the power of the tool overpower the capacity of the child to use the tool, so or 1) she misuse it and get poor results in cutting trees or 2) she get injured or even kill herself. Is not language a tool that evolved faster that the capacity of most of its users to make good use of it? This question I also want to connect with the problem of the confusion of how the scientists communicate their findings and how the layman understand it or misunderstant it. I take myself as a example of it. In the past I had this Taoist book and I had no clue what all that stuff means? In my head there was a semantic confusion, what was the meaning of Shen,Ki,Jing, triple burner and so fort. And still I there is a lot that dont make sense. Another example was me for long time trying to have political conversations with relative just to realise that they don't have no ideia of what is Conservative,Liberal, left, rigth, and many other words connected with a vast array on meaning. So that itself created a lack of ease and even productivity in the conversation. When one read so much and study so much one need to awake up to the fact that not everyone do the same so better get ready to talk YWZ with people that are still in ABC. With time I am much more chill about non understand everything and not being understod since you never know exactly the whole semantic building that one person carry inside, apart from what they reveal here and there in conversation. But still I keep looking for ways to alling more and more my language and eliminate semantic errors. Do some of you know good sources fordive deep in this topic?
