@Mount Bananas music distracts thinking, specifically, the rythum / percusion entertains the thoughts and syncs, allowing direct access to the melody, and the now moment the melody is within. Learn to play an instrument like guitar or piano, and to sing while playing. You can expand that moment into hours on end. You can disappear. Question for you...do you know why you have chosen the banana?

@krazzer we are not trapped, though I am in no rush to be done.

@Omni The illusion contains an illusion of expansion. It is a facet perceived and of perception, not an actual facet of consciousness. Consciousness does not acquire information. It does not acquire anything. It was never without anything. Pragmatically speaking though, that is a great insight, and worthwhile thinking. This is not a simulation. It is deliberate. When we simulate our reality, we are still nothing. You could not be rendered obsolete, you are creating this moment. In your last question.... you are skipping right over the term you are using ‘artificial intelligence’. That does not, and could not exist. There would only be an appearance of artificial. In actuality, it would be intelligence.

@How to be wise yes. What a beautiful perspective he has.

@krazzer were you aware of your own robot ness?

@Hardkill try to realize how easy it is to make $250. This is a a few days of cutting grass, shoveling snow, collecting bottles, holding a sign on the side of the road, writing a letter asking someone for help, Uber or lift driving, creating a go fund me, collecting metal on garbage day and taking it to the scrap yard, selling some of your old stuff on EBay, filling in as a waiter / waitress for a weekend, baby sitting, etc. There is no shortage. Open your mind. You are in a masters of teaching program, and you can’t produce $250? THAT must be quite a splinter. You can do anything you believe you can do, evidenced by everything & nothing around you always.

Just a thought, might be helpful, but if there where a computer, with artificial intelligence, it might still struggle to understand what electricity is - not where it comes from, or how it can be measured & used - but what it is.

@bananak thanks! I can relate man. My original stuff is very acoustic singer song writer ish, and I do a lot of covers in different keys and often change the feel; major to minor’s, etc.

@bananak just chiming in...for what it’s worth to you... I’ve played guitar and sang for 2o years or so. I was once experiencing what you described, those precious minutes of ‘zone’, of unstoppable grace. Now, I do this regularly, for hours on end (to a relative degree of reference to experiences) and it is blissful and I would not trade it for all the money in the world. I feel, you are just tapping into a beautiful, beautiful thing. A daily (morning) meditation habit will change your m’f’ing life as a musician. You know, The Doors named the band after The Door of Perception (Huxley, I think) Check it out. Scott Weiland, of STP, he got it, and of course, many others. He wrote many songs in the ‘zone’ (The zone = no self in the way, just God flowing) Do you even zone, bruh? lol Flies in the vasoline we are Sometimes it blows my mind Keep getting stuck here all the time It isn't you, isn't me Search for things that you can't see Going blind out of reach Somewhere in the vasoline You'll see the look And you'll see the lies You'll eat the lies And you will (if I’m not mistaken, the ‘vasoline’ Is the one “substance” that is the illusion, and I think he incorporates the materialistic powers at large too)

@St Clair omg dude. I’d like to read as much of this as possible! Keep it comin! I love this stuff. I had a similiar syncronicity a few months ago....went to buy mulch, guy at the counter asks if I play. He points out I’m wearing a 20 year old Hendrix t shirt. I’m like, yeah, you. Long story short, he tells me about an acoustic musicians hub A MILE FROM MY HOUSE?!?!?! I”VE LIVED HERE AND PLAYED ACOUSTIC SHOWS FOR 4 YEARS!?!?! How is this shit even possible?!?!?!? Been hanging there, met the best guitarist I’ve ever played with, played a few shows together. Amazing. Just amazing.

@St Clair omg dude. You just plucked me outta my house and put me right back to where it all began. Your writing is beautiful. What happened next??? ?❤️?

@dude to me, the dude abides, is the total consensus of loa.

@dude the dude abides.

@St Clair awesome. That’s a blast from the past. That was the first book that made me start questioning things. It’sbeen over 20 yrs since I read it. I can barely remember it now. Do you have any of it’s main insights top of mind? Share em? ❤️

@Natasha ?

@ADD laugh about it. Why would you be anxious about it? You’re not doing it, they are.

@Hafiz write them down. It’s much easier to sort visually. ??

@iTommy from what I understand, which is pretty limited, the math leans towards the many worlds theory, but the lab work seems to support the Copenhagen theory. I wonder, if all of the physicists involved focused all of their efforts on one theory, if it would become proven / true.

@Dantas i can’t stop staring at it. This me now. Found my life purpose.

@Principium Nexus Where I live, balloon sinuplasty is not available, so I’d like my own at-home-do-it-yourself-kit. For the fairer sex, I’d love a robot like counter top device, like Alexa, that replies in nondualities, with a handful of preloaded statements like, “of course you don’t look fat in that!”, and “of course he doesn’t know how to load the dishwashing machine”. If someone could get on that already, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

@hinawashi the ego hid the truth to allow the illusion.

@Max_V oh and good for you Max!❤️

@Max_V Best thing that ever happened to a vegan diet, imo...(i don’t like eating vegetables) mix with ice, banana, peanut butter & chocolate almond milk in a blender - yummy shake! “Basically, it has the nutrition of seven products in one container! Raw Organic Mealdelivers 20 grams of clean protein per scoop from 13 raw sprouted ingredients, along with greens, healthy fat, 5g fiber, probiotics, enzymes, plus 21 vitamins and minerals.” https://www.gardenoflife.com/content/product/why-choose-raw-organic-meal/ and of course whip cream cause...whip cream.

@Maheshwar I would move your focus out of the relationships category and into the self category. Affirmations should be about your confidence, synronicity, etc - “you” centered stuff, not relationships stuff. As you meditate and do the practices and increase your consciousness, the relationships will become second nature, because we are all really only perceiving our understanding of our selves.
