Within chaos, there is order. What seems to be random are actually meticulously designed when viewed from a higher perspective.

@Raptorsin7 You must have a lot of trauma or shadows that are preventing you from feeling things deeply. It's good that you are aware of it. To be more open to love, you need to forgive and heal yourself from all the pain you have experienced in life.

@Raptorsin7 Have you ever cried because you are so touched when watching a movie or listening to music?

What is the experience of love to you? And what does it mean to be a loving person to you?

@Flowerfaeiry Yes, you must learn to love yourself fully. Become self-aware enough to heal all your shadows, and gain enough experience to know what things in life give you true fulfillment. Once you are healed fully and living life with purpose and love, then, like a glass that is full, you can share your love with others without expectations or desires. True unconditional love can only be given to others when you have given it to yourself.

Selflessness is selfishness. To be truly selfless, follow your heart and listen to your true nature. Something that might be selfless at the moment might turn out to be selfish in the future, and vise versa. To fulfill one's own need might be a selfish thing to do, but at the same time, one cannot be fully selfless until they have loved themselves fully. So the best way is to be, and follow your heart/intuition, for that is the will of infinite love/intelligence. It is all love.

I would go to Shanghai. Good music and fashion there, and a lot of foreigners from around the world to meet. Super safe and high tech, great infrastructures and transportation. Lots of opportunities, always exciting. It's also a hub for Geeks, lots of anime/game conventions. Also, China actually has a very diverse culture within itself. Every province (23 provinces) has its own history and culture (different food, fashion, environment, or even language). You can experience the international modern megacities one day and then go to more culturally rich cities the next. High-speed rail covers the entire country, so you can travel between cities really fast. China and Japan are really close, so you can travel between them pretty easily. Japan is really nice too. I think the biggest challenge for you will be the language, Chinese is really hard, but once you learn it, you can learn Japanese faster (and vise versa) because they share many similarities. Culturally China will probably be the most different from your culture. Japan is similar in some ways and different in other aspects (to China). The US and China are culturally the opposite of each other. So if you want to experience something totally different, then China or Japan is a good place to do so.

@SaltyMeatballs So what fulfills you the most is to solve problems to learn. (as a maven scientist)

@BipolarGrowth It's all up to you, whatever you want it to be, you will make it that way.

The freedom from the cycle of birth and death can be interpreted this way. If you become awakened and you become God in your direct experience, you as infinite love/God cannot be dead/alive. Thus you are free from the cycle of birth and death and have the choice to stay in non-existence for eternity, or until you, as God, want to experience existence again.

It leads to God/infinite love/yourself.

Serial Experiments Lain, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Hunter X Hunter Ant Arc, Violet Evergarden all have some levels of Turquoise.

@Leo Gura Making game is sometimes more fun than playing them.

@Leo Gura LOL, so true.

I think it failed more so because of the lack of publishing options. The tools themselves are amazing, probably the most accessible and intuitive content creation tool ever created. But when you can't export anything you make to share it more broadly and monetize from it, it doesn't really make sense for you to spend hundreds of hours learning the tools and create with them. If they had released this on PC and added options to export different creations (Game, Music, Art, Films), it would have a much larger community and success. It might even compete with Unity, Unreal, or even other content creation tools like Blender or Ableton for all the different aspects of creation. But because you can only publish on their platform and only on PlayStation, it limits the possibility to gain influence and get compensated for your creation. Yes, game development requires a lot of skills in many different fields, but the collaboration system in dreams really makes up for that. You can work with other people who are good at different things to create together very easily. Your profile actually has a leveling system based on how much time you spend in each field and what work they have done. Some excellent projects were made this way in Dreams, but it's hard for them to keep developing into something big because of the lack of publishing options. Even though the tools are the most intuitive they can be, it is still difficult for most people to learn. For example, programming in its nature is really a system of thinking. What Dreams and other game engines have are just visual scripting systems that allow you to create logic without writing the syntax of the code. But the syntax is really the easy part. Your skill in programming really comes from your ability to think in its system of abstraction and create architectures/structures to solve your problems. This skill is still required even in Dreams, so just making the tools initiative is not enough for most people to become good at programming. The same idea could be said for all the different aspects of game development.

Yes, you can take psychedelics in dreams to have higher consciousness experiences. But you need to master lucid dreaming for the experience to be stable, clear, and remembered. Astral projection is the same. If you travel to higher dimensions, you will have higher consciousness experiences. But reaching higher dimensions requires a lot of skills and mastery in Astral Projection.

Don't blindly listen to Leo. He is talking in very general terms. Follow your own heart and do what it truly desires.

You become non-existent/God. If you are more conscious you will become aware of this directly as you sleep.

@Epikur I see, yeah they should. But hopefully, they will prove/disprove their theory through evidence. I think most scientists said that it was very unlikely, but no one said it was impossible. But yeah other scientists will be discouraged by peer pressure to not explore/speak out the opposite possibility.
