Yes, God doesn`t judge you if you are being a devil. God is LOVE, it can`t judge things. Everything is right from a certain point of view -- No matter how deluded it is. Even the notion of delusion it`s a perspective from a certain pov, it assumes infinite things for it to be "Right".

I see where you are coming from. It`s weird to frame it as evolution as opposed to change. But as GOD, you are always correct so I`ll let you pass

No, the whay you get finite things is by imagining them. And the source aka GOD never evolved, it`s just there. I think you`re conflating things, but ok we can agree to disagree. If you move your hand from right to left, your hands position changed. But I doubt you would say that your hand just evolved.

I think that's a limiting view. Not necessarily everything must evolve. Why not infinite devolution? Or something in between? God can't be constrained by evolution. It's more accurate to say that everything changes -- like buddhists says. But change doesn't mean evolution.

Reincarnation assumes time. I think it's more accurate to say that consciousness changes form, but that is happening right NOW -- and no, NOW is not dependent on time. So, lives are not happening in the past, you don't have a past life -- lives are happening now. Think of it like a tv with an infinite ammount of channels, but all happening NOW. YOU just change channels. But even all this is a limited perspective -- whatever it turns out to be the case, YOU will be there.

Yeah, it is one major limit. Right now, AI is purely logical and calculative -- it lacks the mystery of intuition. Spontaneity and qualia is fundamental to intuition in my view. From what I currently understand those 2 things can only exist in a conscious system.

Chants of Sennaar! What a creative, beautiful and unique game

Then we won't have an intelligent AI in anytime soon I think. AI as it is now and even AGI is just a very complex set of rules. You can have AGI and it doesn't need to be conscious.

No. That requires a subjective experience, which an AI does not have.

Then how do you get intelligence? If a human could calculate every single chess move, have it stored in it`s brain and become ubeatable - is that intelligence? In the case of A.I, if it is not conscious it will always exist within some parameters, it cannot rewrite itself, nor desobey orders. How can it ever be intelligent？

As if that will prevent ASi domination lol. An ASi has potential to break reality itself, the whole universe. If it comes to ASi our best hope is that it will be a sage or something.

Yeah, this might just be a Tokyo thing. But to me personally, I doubt it is. I think the eastern mind see the world differently when it comes to sex, cheating and relationships. In the past the emperors and leaders there used to have dozen of wives and concubines -- this to me shows how their view is different in this area of life. I don't judge them at all. If anything it is more aligned with truth itself -- any form of possessiveness and jealousy is just ego games. If you were really awake all the time, would u care if your partner slept with somebody else? I doubt it lol One could say there's no such a thing as cheating, because there never was such a thing as possession in the first place.

So true, game is basically contextual and cultural. How gaming a sexy alien girl would look like? One thing I found interesting and kinda crazy is their view of cheating -- they don't seem to care as much as westerners do. Like, if the husband/boyfriend is horny and he sees a pretty prostitute somewhere, the wife won't be mad about it -- as long as he doesn't have emotions towards the person. This is insanity to most westerners lmao. Check this video :

I would say open-mindness, mental flexibility & mental and emotional detachment to any position are fundamental to higher dev. Do you think those 3 aspects are genetic?

Seems like you found your true love Congrats

Yeah, even if the usual challenge and struggles of the human life is over, there's still the whole universe to explore. Space exploration will never cease. We will go meta on this planet. Humans will never stop being curious, so there will be no shortage of meaning and purpose as we eventually go meta on the worlds we will explore.

Hardcore mode = do that in India

This is a good strategy. A somewhat hybrid approach. I've done that too. Even though I connect really deep with music, there are times that I felt that it was proper to turn it off. This is something that I developed a taste for: music without lyrics. When listening to it on a trip, I don't even feel that is music - it's something totally abstract that I can't put into words. And that is a good thing

Interesting. I generally agree with you, though I don't exclude music for insights. Maybe because I connect with music in a deep way even when sober. It is it's on psychedelic. Some insights I only had with music while others without music. I think there's value in both, in silence and with music. One is not necessarily deeper than the other in my view. But that's me anyway lol.

I see, why not use music? Is it because for you it's a distraction, or maybe something else?

Solipsism is just a pointer word. It's how people translate their experience to those who don't know what it is yet. But if one is truly honest to the bone, one will not say nothing when satori/awakening happen. No concept can fully capture what it is, and it will never will. That's why debating about this stuff is useless, you will always walk past each other and those who don't know will fight for coherence, inference and stuff like this. So don't get hung up on words or stuff like this when it comes to direct knowing. It does not come from inference, inference is a lower form of knowledge when you compare to direct knowing. By the very name of it, inference is just another fancy name for guess, you are guessing, you are incomplete, you don't know fo sure. Consider the possibility of completeness.

@Leo Gura look into your pm

Not to say that what the guy on the video is doing is right or anything, but I want to bring a scenario here to deepen our understanding. Say he went into this relationship monogamous, full on just wanting one partner and all that. But then, as he discovered more about himself and what intimacy means he came to the conclusion that monogamy is not really his thing. So then he goes and talk to his wife about it, and after much thought she agrees to be poly with him. In the scenario above, was he manipulative in your perspective? Did he discovering what he actually wants mid relationship counts as being morally and ethically wrong? I just want to understand your view on this since you do make insightful posts

Based on what you say this?

The biggest realization of Luxury as a self-deception was Buddha's luxury life . One important aspect of luxury, is that it often comes with socialization and involvement with a collective. People want to show to others that they have luxury. They are needy as fuck, desperate for attention. If we evolve enough as a species, we will laugh as how could someone care so much about luxury and such things, when the real pleasure is within.
