@AlphaAbundance Scrivener? @Aaron p Not about the book itself, but rather how little most people care about these topics in a global sense. Or I misinterpreted him. @Leo Gura What about publishing a shorter one first, like the one on psychedelics?

That’s probably a safe assumption to make. I don’t know of any, sorry.

Andrew Cutler is often mentioned in this forum relative to that matter. Maybe it’s useful to try his methodologies.

Just play Ratchet and Clank

Illuminating read. It can be found online.

@Leo Gura Windows 10 good enough already?

Apparently it plays well on Stadia...

This one.

Man, Inner Traditions is pure Green, perhaps with some yellow here and there. Just look at the books’ subjects.

Sorry, I don’t remember, I stumbled upon it.

Levels of consciousness:

@PurpleTree Wow, stage yellow superpowers.

What are you conscious of now that you weren’t of before?

You jump into a river and get wet. Instant Karma!

What difference does it make? You’re operating from a belief system. Become conscious of who and what you are. You are regardless of what you think.

The creative nature of existence as seen through the prisms of distinction, concept, and invention.

@LfcCharlie4 Interesting, thank you for your honesty! Love your signature's quotes.

@PurpleTree

@SamueLSD yeah, just a reminder for us.

@SamueLSD @Scholar “Most people, in fact, will not take the trouble in finding out the truth, but are much more inclined to accept the first story they hear.” I agree with that conclusion. If you follow Leo and are a member of this forum, watch out for self-deception. We likely believe many claims he makes and we are good parrots, especially in spirituality. I sometimes uncritically take what he says at face value.

Aren’t they? How would you cognize, or know about, "light", "dim" and "bright" other than by constructing and applying those distinctions to whatever is perceived? A new-born baby hasn’t invented "light", "dim" nor "bright" until these distinctions are created in his experience. Before that, the only things that are there in this regard perhaps is perception and awareness.

@Leo Gura ouch. I’m actually an INTP and a people pleaser acting arrogant. It’s not a popular strategy but needed to balance things, IMO. I apologize for the straightforwardness.

@Leo Gura I say bullshit again. The reason you’re not conscious is because you’re not conscious. You are Consciousness and there’s no hardware in that.

@Forestluv It's inadequate when it comes to becoming conscious. Models are guideposts which can cloud anyone’s investigations. Granted, studying models can be useful in other ways. It can be entertaining and intellectually stimulating. Not necessarily. Models aren't needed for becoming conscious, the only real requirement is consciousness. Reality, whatever it is, must exist regardless of our thoughts (models, assumptions, conclusions, interpretation) about it. Could you clarify? The reality that the work is about is not limited to the form!
