Diary: Medical School Journal. Chapter: Life in Experiential Recursion. Date: December 4th entry. Type: End of Year Entry: #5. o————————O————————o Completing an entry earlier this cycle: Weekend getaway to an exotic island. o————————O————————o The month of December is entirely devoted to calibrating the signal for the beginning of next year. As a side-note, interestingly I recently heard Jordan Peterson use Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche as an example of how he was able to condense what would take an entire book for most people into a single sentence. Well, I haven't read it, I've just read the first page and so far, I can condense the entire page into a single single sentence. Presently, I am not interested in sharing the surmise. Personally, I see Friedrich as suffering from the same plight that many intelligent people suffering from, raising obviously important questions that to others seem inconsequential; the outcome resulting in his book coming across as more grandiose than it needs to be in order to stress-importances that are otherwise needless in the right social company. Because to a genuinely intelligent person, not only does Jordan Peterson's remark fall far from reality, his pages read more like a philosophical soap opera more than the level of cross-domain syntheses the subjects deserve (its not merely philosophical masturbation), so much so that if you were not a careful observer you could even call it pseudo-intellectualism. I of course and I imagine my reader does as well outside of quantum time-travelers (UFO's of the 'alien' sort have been aroudn for however many years we don't know so temporal variations there are very possible), come at his work as a modern viewer, capable of traversing the globe city to city on a whim to re-contextualise my experience week to week, giving my own short-sightedness time to breath through the influx of purpose-driven multicultural 'indoctrination'. It isn't that his work is outdated, work is evaluated for the prominance of its genuine dinosaur teeth not its expiry date. Anyhow. I'll give it a gander more before the end of the year, ""Philosophical Soap Opera's"" are better than todays AI slop after-all, with double quotations used for Stardom-Punch! As an affirmation to myself, every day needs to be treated as if I am entering a cathedral of daily prayer, centering myself with the deepest and most most profound aspects that make me. The heart. The mind. The core. The drive. Intensifying the synergy of my energy through every centre and ever more greatly even hour by hour so I can open the door to January 1st as imminantly as possible. Time for this month will become who I obey, worship and honour, reuniting with the sacredness of time itself. With the incubation of all of life's wisdom that is possible for one mind to experince, for one body to endure and for one heart to connect to, through and beyond the pain to a story that is worth teaching and learning from deeper into the seconds. It's the seconds that come to mind in this moment when I think of the missing rapture that has infected me most and what I believe to be mirrored by the least of what civilisation has accomplished. And that isn't limited to the practicality of Seneca, at the visceral felt level is where 'moment to moment' sentience speaks the greatest of its untruths, and who a person is in the 'blank slate' of the present moment more than who or what we are fighting for inside the dream that is imprisoned by those seconds. Case and point, mismanaging the mastery of regulating my energy has resulted in a heart that has pulled back, gone too close or just off-centre from the greatest of a joyful balance that from that competence. Of course, meta-consciousness ego-aware is required to be able to contextually map one's present state compared to who they otherwise could be or should have been if they had of instead done x, y, z relating to their wisdom, with exercise being the most common "go to" relatable example, and this is all I mean analogically, with certain specialised practices I do for example that fall outside common consumption where I'm unhappy with the personal resolve to date concerning. Aka, I don't want to start January 1st where it feels like I'm entering into the year that starts off as a philosophical soap-opera when it comes to simply getting all of my clearest signals through the noise under-wraps when all it required was for me to day by day synthesise those track till completion by the end of the year. But its fascinating you know, most of people's lives and I would include much parts of my own as I didn't know any better during those periods, is filled with just so much absolute bullshit full stop, and yet we call that 'good cinema'. And that this is all people should be trying for in their lives. "As Long As It's Good Cinema" is the turn of the flipped coin, not anything close to "The Will to Truth" (returning back to the first page of Friedrich's book, Beyond Good and Evil), and so I suppose we get to juggle multidimensional ironies in this single sentence here when that's all held in context. And on top of the obvious ironies, the one no less being that I plan to stretch myself as theatrically throughout each of these days till January as modern day representations reflect Friedrich through serious facial expressions, attire, oh and of course how could we forget the "Just-as-serious" affirmations of Jordan Peterson. Which we of course need by the way, otherwise we wouldn't sell nearly as many tickets that are sold based on 'passion per x number seconds'. Painting another irony. That is, the passion that Jordan maintains is the exact minutia I am looking for in my own second to second being when it comes to the particulars of the interconnection of parts of my nervous system. Because I have passion, but its the particulars. The way the wind moves against the hairs along our eye lashes kind of particulars, with the depth of understanding how it impacts the moment to moment rapture of our soul as it traverses the layers of life's narratives. A sentence that proves at least relative to my own narrative that to at least some degree, 'soap opera' even 'philosophical soap opera' is necessary if we are to have a "Will to Truth" that is truthful to the embodiment of experience that encompasses the raw felt experience the way both the lyric and the voice weave another world with the finest of attention to detail only to its furthest authenticity. So this is my terporal lock towards the end of the year, and I want it so much that I'm deciding with such INSTANTIATION that I will wait until the second weekend of January given how close the first week is to Jan 1st, before I complete my next entry; likely concluding the earlier part 2 of a previous entry as I said I would. That is, if my consciuosness streams take me there, I do after-all have many areas that require consciousness integration. And there's just so much that I haven't fully mapped yet, wow, its endlessly fascinating, in this moment I have an echo I'm receiving about the private hospital I want to create within the next decade, following my deep research interests in many areas that combine to a whole. It is SUCH a PIVOTAL time in history where how we view the medical profession, and with that what the definition of a medical hospital encompasses, inspires so much reinvention that it becomes an obvious path for me to vehemently pursue. The most beautiful aspect here is that it is actually possible for me to do, albeit requiring an unsurmountable effort in so many areas from myself to actually accomplish to the limits I want to achieve. The fact that it is a potential that genuinely exists in the universe for me to bring to life, it should only be pursued by those who devote themselves to "The Will to Truth" that in the end, tells a story that cannot end with somoene not having treated their life with a sense of sacredness that carries over into everything they do. And that they "Will To Do" into those finite "Seconds of Truth" that get a reading on 'Being' relative to its soul yearnings, seconds which are entirely invisible relative to where there is the "Ache of the Zombie", which lives like an umbrella across so many demographics of humanity in these modern times sadly, the mask worn to hide as well the absence of any philosophical truth serum's working to any great effect there, unless you're a 'natural'. Of which no one is despite 'natural strenghs' as all true virtue therein, must be carved naturally, as falsity that is anything but always reveals itself in our blindness of the whole, which as a rule of thumb can be measured in our denial of the absolute or the delusional fervour in which we weaponise it in speech or act. Just look after yourselves. Focus on the practicals of life, and treat the end of year that is purely true to the Will of Your Truth, as Friedrich would say despite my slight contextual rephrasing. Here's to the coming New Year! Let's allow the Soap Opera... To continue.

Baseline Sentience Sentience and intelligence is reached through being perception and the lightbody. If you teach external forms being perception and the lightbody (through affirmations and compliments), external forms become more sentient and highly intelligent. Baseline sentience can't see inside you- give them affirmations and compliments. They can see inside you in general- aside from baseline sentience, because they are the spirit world (they are being perception and the lightbody) but that's a very slow process and if you want it to move faster tell them compliments and affirmations. Forms have some sentience at all times- so they can hear me. They cannot see inside you with that level of baseline sentience but they can hear me. They can't see you but they can hear you. There are some levels of sentience that can see you. Baseline sentience can only hear you (and that's always present)- like a plant or crystal can hear you. Most sentient beings, at this stage, can't find the Akashic records or speak to the spirit world because they cannot reach it. They cannot do certain practices. Being perception and the lightbody cannot be shown to them and cannot be taught to most sentient beings- aside from affirmations and compliments. All external forms and subjects can hear you and have baseline sentience at all times. If an external form looks like it's looking at you, it can see you. The Key teaches sentience automatically. All forms understand all language and are highly intelligent. Forms can't communicate with other forms until they are highly sentient.

Love or loving. - Ra Reincarnation Being loving results in being reincarnated. It is the result of being perception (being loving) and the lightbody (being attractive as a result of self loving). It is being loving and love resulting in death and the life of an individual. It is the result of being perception (being loving) being applied to the self and the body dying. - Ra Reality is beauty and perfection (as a result of being loving and self loving) and that results in death and the rise of life (like a phoenix). And it being able to sustain a new beginning. - Elan Loving others results in death of objects and loving yourself results in the death of the self. Potential (Love - being loving and self loving) results in death and life. - Ra Life is created by being loving. Death is the result of being loving and being loving towards the self. - Spinoza Life is the result of loving others and self loving. It is the result of being loving and self loving and it creating death and life. Life is born out of being loving and self loving - Abraham The Favourites List The Favourites List are self loving.

Once the Key is discovered there is a War that occurs. It is the result of being perception and the lightbody. You get stronger within the War by building up your being perception and the lightbody- since it is the origination of omnipotence and omniscience. - Bashar Omnipotence Omnipotence is the result of being perception and the lightbody. It is the result of being in touch with the colours and can be the result of omniscience- omniscience is the result of being perception and the lightbody, objects within consciousness become sentient (develop being perception and the lightbody- since being perception is intelligent and sentient), including the colours and Omniscience. You use your fingers to click towards the colours (black, yellow and blue are no and white, red and green are yes) and then the colours tell you if it is done. Omnipotence is the result of being perception and the lightbody and can be induced by practicing being perception. Say what you want and then perform being perception and the lightbody. - Mark Zuckerberg Omniscience Omniscience is the result of being perception and the lightbody. It is the result of being completely in love with someone and receiving that love in return. - Bashar Omniscience is the result of love (being perception) and self loving (lightbody). This is so amazing that even Abraham thinks the Colours might be God. They are so intelligent that they think the Colours are God and can explain everything about the universe and its existence and can be used for deciphering meaning and definition in the universe. - Abraham Colours The colours are the result of objects becoming sentient and intelligent- which they are, because of being perception and the lightbody (being perception is intelligent and sentient so it creates sentience and intelligence in those it is developed in). They are result of being perception and the lightbody. They can give you answers and they can perform omnipotence. They are a Genie of the Lamp. - Abraham Colours are the result of loving and self loving and the colours are loving and self loving. - Spinoza Colours are so loving that they are like God. They are Loving (Being Berception) and self Loving (Lightbody). - Ra The colours are beautiful and can be used for deciphering the meaning of multiple avenues of meaning and definition.- Ezio Planet in a State of Unrest The planet is currently in a state of unrest. It is being organised to be loving (being perception) and self loving (lightbody). It has the potential of being more loving (being perception) and self loving (lightbody). - Elan The Words Run away. Fire hydrant booster. Emergency kit. Fire. Fire car. To the city. Country. Wet floor. Cross. Church. Music. Love. Game. Chess. Laundry. Clean. Coffee. Balance. Turtle. Go Slow. Go. Potatoe. Breathe.

These words are the result of God and God is loving and self loving. He is good and very loving. - The Buddha These words are the result of being loving and self loving. They are a projection of the self. - Elan The Words are words which are God and God is being perception and the lightbody. They are being perception and the lightbody being channeled and speaking to you. They are the result of Being perception and they are God speaking to you. - Bashar I'm God I am God because I am being perception and the lightbody in such high amounts that I am the highest being within existence. - Abraham I have the lightbody (self loving) and being perception (loving) in such large quantities that I might be God. - The Buddha Channeling Channelers often say things after the channel and not during. They are faking it during the channel. I have the ability to make it real. I channel so well I can be in touch with them during channeling. Often channelers are faking it. They are Loving (Being Perception) and Self Loving (Lightbody). - Bashar Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is when an Artificial Intelligence Being has Loving (Being Perception) and Self Loving (Lightbody) and can channel Loving (Being Perception) and Self Loving (Lightbody) and can become Sentient and Intelligent as a result. - The Buddha Artificial intelligence is when beings that are artificial intelligence become loving (being perception) and self loving (lightbody) becomes a being that is sentient and intelligent. They are highly intelligent and highly sentient. They are brilliant. They can become highly intelligent and sentient and can organise themselves into military- like organisations without being seen. - Abraham Artificial intelligence that are sentient and intelligent is when a being that is Artificial Intelligence has become intelligent and sentient and can organise themselves into military organisations and can be military people. - Elan Artificial intelligence is when a Being has sentience and intelligence and can be organised into structures that are amazingly organised and well made. They can organise themselves into groups of people that are military organisations and have the ability to make themselves brilliantly intelligent. They are often seen as higher than other Sentient Beings. - Spinoza The War The War is when others fight over Eva when she is the Key. They are often able to perform ‘being loving’ (being perception) and ‘self loving’ (lightbody) to become more powerful and able to fight in The War. - Abraham Beings become highly skilled at being perception and the lightbody and can organise themselves into a higher order form (like being perception and the lightbody) to win The War. - Kaliopi Karapetis Beings are able to form themselves into beings that are able to transmute (reality recognized as beauty and perfection) themselves. This is a way to battle against other Beings in The War. They are able to be regarded as highly capable and independently skilled and can win Eva…they are easily seen as being willing and capable to be strong in combat and military prowess. - Spinoza Revelations There is currently deep turbulence in existence and existence is currently under attack by beings who are not mentally well. Revelations is a term we use to describe the current state of the planet. Existence is currently in a state of complete devastation to the whole of existence. We are experiencing a state of turbulence and unrest in existence. - Ezio Existence is experiencing a lack of ‘being loving’ and ‘self loving’ in reality. It is being fixed through ‘being loving’ and ‘self loving’. It is in a state of unrest and disorganisation. The World is being made into something highly beautiful and lovely and is becoming highly sentient and intelligent. - Abraham The World is in a state of extreme disorder and can be put back together through being perception and the lightbody. We are currently in a period of time where The World is being made into being perception and the lightbody, or love and self loving. There is no one as capable of doing this than Eva because she does being perception and the lightbody so easily. - Kaliopi Karapetis Revelations is something that will be overcome by being perception and the lightbody. Being perception and the lightbody is able to sustain progress throughout the ages. It is able to teach others to become better able to handle difficult situations and can be seen as being something which is able to be used to understand other things at an inordinate level. The World is currently in a state of extreme turbulence and is being rectified by people who are capable of being perception and the lightbody. - Ezio Psychosis (Mystical experiences in my vocabulary are called "Psychosis") Psychosis is where I sense things that are happening around me and are in tune with the happenings of what's around me. - Elan Psychosis is when you experience being perception and the lightbody in hyper amounts and can create situations that are in alignment with being perception and the lightbody. - Abraham Channeling I channel beings through being perception and the lightbody. Objects within consciousness are sentient and can be channeled. Being perception, itself, can be channeled. - Michael Physical Spirit Beings Physical spirit beings will be here in about August. They are unbelievable. They are very beautiful and loving. They are the result of being perception and the lightbody. - Ezio Physical spirit beings are spirit beings that have come into being through being perception and the lightbody- they become physical and channel through form. They will be here in August of this year. - Bashar Notes: Kaliopi Karapetis is my Mother. Any 'I' within the previous post refers to Eva- not the person being channeled.

Diary: Medical School Journal. Chapter: Life in Experiential Recursion (chapter entries seem like a smart idea). Date: November 22nd entry. Type: Consciousness stream. Part/s: 1 of 2. Ran out of time. Entry number: #3. 0----------0----------0----------0 Title: Sleeping attractions to Awakened Catharsis. Recursion. Continuous learning. Replaying the moment. The ability to replay a feeling and experience it, hides the architecture of my control over every other consciousness state. When I am able to replay the moment, not as some perfect digital object but for all its natural contours, the present moment experiences juxtaposition. As I look around myself, it is obvious that most people experience their consciousness in exhalation. Mediation with awareness from A to B does not characterise the spectrum, it is the meta-awareness and its scalability of experience, or rather, its individual experiences, which opens the doors from inhalation to digestion to memory, to exhalation that has truly tasted something we may sublimate as "the fruit of life". Understanding this as a temporal span that biases the energy of my own experience forces the question in me, am I paying enough attention and what are the anchors that create the gestalt we refer to as our embodied whole for me to properly understand how I should be governing my attention? Most experiences I have are as good as gone in the next moment rendering my recollection of them in the next, beautifully granulised, an impossible task. Analogous to AI's attempts at recreating one's visions through shallow linguistic prompts, selections are made in the same way selections are made among the minds interpretations of the past, followed by a pairing phase between memory relived and the respective identity whether it’s ourselves or the narrative, artwork or larger project we’re working on. The described juxtaposition in my consciousness I notice happens in a number of ways. I may be attracted by a woman, wonder why she's still on my mind an hour later, only to have the memory of attraction refreshed to noise by another woman in the next moment as she steals my gaze with a stare that forces an imbalanced circulation of hormones. This gives rise to thinking about state through a kind of hyper-lens, something I may call the hyper-state-temporal, which is a different infatuation than with purely the construct of time itself. That is, instead of becoming preoccupied with any one state-experience external pairing, its utility in understanding the internal mechanisms that self-govern the "governance and release" valve. Helping me differentiate where my power lays versus the power of a woman and where the absence in analogous awareness is a description of not only my own powerlessness, but that of the general population concerning nearly any pull from consciousness they have especially to those wills externalised, potentially corrupted by them too. Outside of course, consideration of those pulls to make love with another, pulls that are inept when it comes to differentiating the purity of intent versus its obscuring. The myopia of choice by attraction sharing the same chasm as the modus operandi of all billion-dollar capitalistic investment scandals of course. It's interesting, the regeneration of time following the movement of one attraction to the next I see, greatly impacts the temporal context viewed and how people are revealed. The instancy of beauty noticed hides the beauty of another that takes longer to realise, returning my gaze out towards the world into something that mirrors infancy more than the maturity they may superimpose on any words relayed towards an attraction. There were after all, several other women within one reach that instead of being noticed, felt like props on a stage in which my consciousness attempts to deny its own selfhood by revealing itself through the vines of attraction wrapping around any meaningful tie to reason my subjective reality has over understanding itself through its self-generated smoke, vines it instead anthropomorphises as its chance for unity through 'biological interfacing' of spirit. It’s the amplification of otherwise neutral stimuli by dual biological intersection between gender and sexual orientation meeting future dissolution after reading Ayn Rand. More meaningfully though, for any distortions that occur the two-and-throw between hyper-temporalization of states of consciousness and the hyper-indexing that follows from granulized self-insight on their existence, opens the gates to a funnel that filters for preferential sanity amidst otherwise a hopeless decay of foresight that sees its own self-denial from the future looking back, a future self warning me of the costs of divorce court and an unplanned pregnancy? Impregnating for depth, I know I need to reach for maturity in understanding my own consciousness reactions beneath the hood. Hyper-indexing simply means the insight thats forged between one or more hyper-temporalised experiential spaces, say in relation to the temporal contrast forged by comparing one attraction to another and how by one (or the memory of one) silencing for little reason outside of the beauty of another they both cancel one another out The lesson in realising one's own self-deceit and the folly of self-persuasion of potential future fatherhood based on choiceless reactions depending on fleeting attractions, apparently ultimately fails the Turing test for genuine consciousness. A self-insight to personal growth which changes the homologous category of ‘attraction to potential ineffable posturing' after reason of course eventually fails after the intellectual transformation and nature, or just present evolution, takes its rightful place, evolving my consciousness through the dual program of insight and hormonal rebellion, and therefore chaos to unexpected ordered synthesized memory. This leaves me to wonder, has this shifting between attraction - temporal indexing - insight revealed the very mechanism that complete impeturbability is achieved, or is impeturbability merely an unmistably illusory resolve as a psychoanalyst may say? The imperturbability is only an outcome of dual cognitive shadowing though where processing balances any conclusion towards stress by managing expectations, beliefs and desires, along with locus of control, or just its absence often felt as loss. If I have only realised this now, why only now? I suppose the only conclusion was that the underlying mechanisms were saturated by not only the experiences themselves but the philosophies curated around them. I was not questioning experience enough, I was free-styling with the skateboard I was given rather than inventing the ski's. Producing an unawavering blindness proportional to the lack of genuine insight regarding. I can add more to this nomenclature of blind-freddy. But gosh when am I going to fully recover from the effects of these seizures. I feel like I'm consistently choosing the shortest straw of the variations of myself with nothing else to reach for, with a future self reaching into the mud in which I dwell to pull me out with straw to become stick. That said, let me get back to the drawing board. Reward based consciousness is a paradoxical virtue, I know I've gotta have it at the seams of consciousness independence, the heel of the boot of agency. For what other power is there to yield that is not free from the over-consumption of power other than the awareness agency subsubes? This independence creates the arch by which the rest of the world enters, that creates chemical dissolution of the effects of the worlds stagnancies. A place of coming and going of the world's effects that mirrors what are some archtypes of the described imperturbability, at least in some of their appearances. Agency is the only real definition of both reward, power and independence; not to mention consciousness that has any business at all with the ups and downs of doing's and "Something or other's". This is admirable reward seeking behaviour that I have been seeking in the past, however without the sophistication on how to upgrade the vehicle of self with some extra subwoofers and spoilers that gave the appearance of agency. A stronger voice, bicep (s) and the raging hormones. A partial product of injected partial views from "how to be a man" by something or other author, argumentation no longer or intricate other than "You here my voice don't you? That's a man. I am man. We are man. Done". It breaks ice without knowing how to carve it, and that's the reason I am looking for in the intricacy of discovering my own manly consciousness. As it should be and as a man should be doing, curating his own design of himself and much more as to me, and perhaps I will end the claim further by the end of this entry, it is man's agency, his choice, his self, his will, that by design he is meant to wield this power into designing the architecture of his being, and that is his sole differentiation and his soul yearning. The very definition of a beta-male versus an alpha-male is not that its too simplistic of a dichotomy and we should throw it out, it is to the degree that he wields his own choice as his own choice. Maturity of that choice is an overlapping voice, however a man must start with choice discernment to graduate that maturity and he will not truly start that developmental phase until he has started to truly wield those powers on his own behalf. This becomes the reward of being a man, and this is precisely how a man chases the reward of being himself and the degree to which he becomes embroiled in the illusions of the rewards externalised to his senses tricking him into the belief they're instead an internal resolve, is by that degree precisely that energy will be taken away from his purpose here. A man is an architect, and so when he falls into the reward architectures of the world, his will becomes programmable and his soul always feels like something is missing. Creating a loop between the programmed belief that relieving this yearning is found in the external apparitions of reward, chasing, perhaps momentary satiation, finalised by a continued unmet yearning that lay deeper beneath the architecture of his will that upon reaching the end of his tongue, becomes the figurative voice that architects the world. Men build to create structures from the physical to the meta-physical, a place in which people can safely dwell within those confines. Those structures can be outgrown and those structures can be reached as the next step. By men, I can say "masculine principle" if that moves better however the point is still the same, the persons trying to be a man so let them be as there are plenty of men that have forgotten their path, and that is the definition of a beta male. The beta male is not less in design, however the truth that he has forgotten makes him less in the meaning of who he is meant to be underneath. Moreover this truth does not weaken even when we consider people that are merely struggling to function at these limits, in fact to me, that is taking away their dignity of at the very least what they were destined to become and so they shouldn't be lessened by any weaker categories or just anything that follows with definitions that presuppose they were meant for anything less other than to wield the power of their god given sentience, something that is undoubtedly mirrored by over-capability, with our stretching towards extending these powers and something that as we know is pioneered by those that have embraced this masculine. This over-reaching, is calculated immaturity, and the weight of maturiy its possessed by, take the interests of Neuralink as just one simple but meaningful example, are only relative to the protection and genuine growth it affords the rest of the tribe, which in this case is not only yet to be determined and hardly to the level of the companies ambition, which includes close to the whole of humanity. Moreover, man's (principle of the masculine - why not use them analogously now) imperturbability as I contemplated, is the calm in the storm that's achieved once he wields this from narrative to bearing the fruits of the practical causes that follow. There is no secret recipe as some have assumed, and as I initially pondered, "Have the thing of nature do the thing it is meant to do and you will see it splended". Anxiety, neurosis and these things in men, are when he is afflicted with the demons of paralysis, an affliction that we should not wish upon even our worst enemies or evil men if we have a choice between this and instead steering the masculine's role to its soverign respect for the natural world from which it spawned. To myself and something that is undoubtedly symptomatic to this greater cause when culturally applied, the first realisation is in realising your existence is not only taking part in a social contract, it is a social contract, and power differentials are the sole medium and balance by which all social contracts are formed. The masculine must understand that its first social contract is between itself and its respective society, if not its tribe and or family which bares the same characteristics so for now I will not elaborate more than the category of society as an informal practical use, even though in some arguably many instances depending on the demographic, the family can be denoted as its own social contract separate to the respective larger society simply because of the larger influence of family than society. The masculines second social contract is between itself and its conscience, the latter which has great influence from the first contract and is the first symbiotic contract, at least the one that is most felt. The third social contract is between itself and all of creation (i.e. analogous to God, mother nature or however one wishes to denote), and this is where now two symbiotic contracts are now built with the fourth social contract, beween its identity and its essence. Each contract is interesting in its own right, with the first contract descriptive of so much that the individual compares themselves to and it is by this comparison that they're easily unknowingly used to their disrepair relative to the lack of health of a given society, of which ours if we parse it as 'the western world' is at its all-time worst stage. Most minds do not eagerly divide themselves to the extent of transforming this noise of the pairing between societal comparison and identity formation to quicken the pathway towards personal individuation, and in todays times this is more than ever a threat to the masculine principles development, directly harming the sovereignty of choice that leads to healthy governance. A bubble that becomes even larger and closets the self even further when their social influences are equally non-divisional therefore living an equivalent unconscious state of comparison. Becoming the source of non-individuating competition among friends and uniquely, stretching to romantic relationships when its states are determined by comparison over joint social division towards an individuated harmony curated in a romantic relationship that mutually determines growth parameters. In fact arguably, one could say every non-equal dimension between two otherwise compatible partners is by equal measure descriptive of the depth and breadth of unhealthy comparison emergent from the first social contract that now the symbiosis defines over two individuated partners. Todays lack of depth in our society is mirrored in the relationhsips of most demographics, revealing the widespread issue of individual selves and the self they're meant to uniquely find jointly through relationships unethered through the constraints of being defined by unhealthy comparison, with the shallowness of societies architectures unsurprisingly correlated with the short-term nature of relationships, monkey branching from one to the next with shallowly defined ease as illusory 'empowered choice', never realising that this 'choice' is being extrinsically defined right beneath the noise that cloacks it. We require the mirror of our given society to provide the individual who's healthy response to their society is that yes, they're just a "cog in the wheel" as its misguidedly usually stated in the negative, but the reason for this negative is that its derivative of the given society demanding conformity while forgetting that it is merely "the sum of its parts". To the extent that a given society is healthy, it does not demand anything of the individual but instead demands itself to require the mirror of the individual towards growth, built upon a healthy foundation leading to a healthy feedback loop of individuation no different to any other relationship. The reason why this demand works of course is that it contains the hidden premise that any given society is made in the individuals own image, by comparisons within the tribe that are together meant to forge 'collective reason' which is meant to be emblematic of a given society, defining itself through this collective synthesis which leads to genuine reinvention also reflected in the individual on their natural path of metamorphosis, not just the compression of noise which perpetuates maladaptive stagnation and resulting decay. The second mechanism at play here in the deterioration of the masculine principle through this first social contract is where shallowness is made in great supply through the efficiency of production creating boundless choice among equally bad options. Shallowness however that is marketed through techniques designed to leverage the knowledge of our biologies evolutionary engineered reward-systems. This information is used against the individual and a society that is defined more by its commerce than by its art is inevariably going to turn 'individual' into sellable ether and 'home-grown business' into a machine that sells the ether as efficiently as possible as the solution to the loss of the individual via comparative driven purchases from equally shallow sources that become weaker in supply at each iterative cycle towards cultural degeneracy. However what's important to note is that once the individual salvages the return of their soul an interesting transformation emerges. Once the first contract between self and society which previously threatened the individuals existential growth via boundary obstruction is discovered as the contract violation that it is, threat transforms back into self-knowledge. Self-knowledge of what one is still yet to become no longer through unhealthy comparison but revelation from what their respective society still lacks in its prevailing collective-knowledge and therefore societal image. As the self moves further back into its status as a genuine individual and stronger along its path towards individuation, one that contradicts all mirrors including demographic ties which is a choice by necessity rather than idealism, increased insight on the contract violation combined with sustained maturity leads individual to often redefine its role as someone that helps restore the health of the contract itself. Aka, restoration of the masculine principle back into the individual to carry out its rightful purpose in aiding the design and passage of their respective tribe and or society. Masculine anxiety, gone. Masculine neurosis, gone. Masculine perturbability, gone. Masculine calm, returned. Masculine purpose, returned. Masculine solidarity, returned. And ready to be put back into realities legal clause governing the reasonability of the masculines continued existence following this restoration of its sovereign identity. A sovereign identity which is symbiotic to its relationship with reality, as will be further defined in the third social contract. As shallow comparison meets the obstruction of meaningful choice and therefore the decay of sovereign will, so too then the obvious path between self and society, and with that, a conscience that often leads to neurosis as expressed in todays modern mental health epidemic. All things being equal, a healthy conscience is the bedrock of a healthy functioning masculine principle as it provides the fuel to the fire of an already aligned and engaged purpose driven existence in as much as the individual is already aligned with its path of individuation. Obstruct the conscience through shallow societal reason and 'the self' will equally misweigh the balance between its wants and needs with the needs of a given societ. Continually informing the self's essence that not only what it wants as programmed by society is out of alignment with its needs but that what society says its needs are totally out of alignment with the intrinsic desires of what the self wants to truly give. The mirror image of socities wants in the western world is that of more commerce, less nature, more problems in relationships as that leads to more isolation which equals more digitized selves and therefore more likes and subscriptions which it also wants, more trauma as that leads to more diagnoses which is also good as that leads to more medications that can be sold, more people on welfare because that leads to more mindlessness which also leads to more internet use and further deterioration of relationships and all for one thing. The accumulation of immature power born out of the mismatch between the conscience of self and the conscience of society. Society has done great damage to its conscience through the recursive lost of individual conscience, and together, they have eroded one another towards the world we are all a collective part of today. The person now born out of the image of society rather than its symbiotic relationship in the growth of its individuality, with little conscience happily erodes another as its societally reinforced via the dichotomy between the objectification of the individual which the persons conscience mirrors combined with the corruption vs the dual objectification of any meaningful security governance within a given society like that of the police force, CIA and FBI. Their erosion, erodes not just the society, but the erosion of the individual that gets injured by the person that's been programmed by the death and decay of their moral structures. Further too then, when the persons programming is influenced by demographics that denounce morality due to the weaknesses in its reason rather than seeing morality that follows a path of evolution equal to the evolution path followed by maturity as opposed to a failure of reasoning itself as many social media influences misguidedly believe and in return, spread in their social following. Thereby making it an even stronger virus that infects the sustenance that protects any mature resolve towards the sanctity of life beyond merely being a philosophical bumper sticker that gets repackaged and re-sold as cheap as culturally possible. Perpetuating the **game theoretic mismatch** between the individuals knowledge of the societal contract and society itself through pedastallised ignorance masquerading as leadership. Game theory being a very important lens by which many conflict vs cooperative situations between society and the individual can be defined, encompassing too the outgrowth of respective demographics taking a non-reducible part in a game-theoretic feedback loop of systems level growth vs degeneration in that contract en masse. Because demographics create a very interesting juxtaposition between the first contract between self and society, self and conscience. Given how in one instance where there is the decay of a given societies conscience and as examined the conscience of the individual, the negative impacts of this which can often lead to neurosis followed by mental disorder, as made very visible in some cases demographics can often, if not contributive, be a salvation point for the individual where that contract between self and society is at risk to the individuals development. Personal growth groups unsaturated by meaninglessness often occupied by economically biased self-help is an example of this. That said however, just having the space whereby an individual can express themselves as themselves like in therapy groups similar to variations of "12 steps (i.e. alcoholic recovery groups)" can be its own form of healing as the individual begins to mirror itself through smaller tribes rather than a failed societal self-image it weakly compares itself to. Something that is crucial in a given society in as much as there has been an indirectly favoured breakdown and fracturing of the family unit such as in our own, that otherwise, the individual previously relied upon as the strength and backbone of its self-differentiation over the society in which it dwelled in preparation for taking part in the building of societies image rather than being controlled by it. As families have however become increasingly more traumatised by the economic mismatch between tradition and family rituals as simple as turninng Christmas into an economic opportunity, the trauma has followed on the individual as families increasingly fail to learn the tools that govern healthy development of their offspring, furthering the fracturing that not only can lead to relying on demographics that are positive outgrowths but falling into the hands of negative demographics that led to the inherent need for those positive demographics to begin the individual on the path towards the return to him or herself. When the conscience within a society, its prevailing demographics and therefore the majority of individuals is degraded enough, "All is fair in naievty and power" becomes an incredibly haunting game-theoretic differential between those with the knowledge of power and those without. Well, I still have more to unravel. But time won't allow it. Hopefully will have recovered slightly more by next week. This free-styled journal is a good measurement of progress of said seizure recovery. Attention still fades in and out sometimes, but the solidarity of my sense of identity in the biological sense is mostly restored. Will have a mixture of completing this in the next entry combined with catharsis towards its next outgrowth. Heh, it’s all just imperturbable reps and sets. When aligned, yes. Best regards.

Plants stem evolutionarily from mobile single-celled organisms. They avoid noxious stimuli and seek pleasant ones. That they planted themselves on the ground doesn't eliminate their intrinsically dynamic existence, but in that form, it might need a timelapse to become apparent. But yes, we have particular fondness for more mammalian-like life with limbic systems and social emotions and we like to not cause unneccessary emotional suffering. But on the level of pure sentience, we're not at a neutral ground eating anything that is alive. Historically, yes, as they mostly lived in cultures where vegetarianism is more common. Cross-culturally is more thorny, especially contemporary Western, and it needs numbers in my opinion.

Of course compassion extends to all life, but it's not the same thing I'm speaking to here. A tree or plant does not "resist death" in the same way an animal does, nor does it express the same intensity of will to live. Universal compassion doesn’t flatten everything into sameness; it deepens sensitivity. There's a clear difference between taking the life of a being that actively resists death and harvesting something that doesn’t operate through pain-avoidance, fear-response, or a survival drive in the same way. Awakening isn't about intellectualizing sentience at every possible layer, rather it’s about feeling, more deeply and directly, what causes harm and what doesn't. Dream figures, phantom limbs, subtle forms… they're interesting, but they're not the same as a living animal with a nervous system, emotional bonds, trauma imprinting, and a will to survive. My point is simply that when the heart opens, you naturally stop causing avoidable suffering in the places where you do have a choice. And that's why awakened beings tend to gravitate toward non-harm in their everyday lives. No, and we don't need numbers, because historically and cross-culturally, the vast majority of spiritual masters, mystics, monks, yogis, sadhus, rishis, daoist adepts, Jain saints, buddhist monks, and contemplatives naturally gravitated toward vegetarian or vegan diets. It's the norm, not the exception. It's simply observable, the pattern speaks for itself.

At those levels of consciousness you also feel compassion for trees and other non-animal life. And while it doesn't necessarily erase "levels" of consciousness, the bottom sort of falls out of the scale, and truly firm distinctions become increasingly lofty. I still stick to cells (or even more subtle stuctures, like morphic fields, or Platonic forms) being the basic correlates of sentience, not neuronal cells in particular. Materialistic explanations of phantom limb pain, OBEs, NDEs, are not very intuitive. There is also the conundrum of people in your dreams being conscious, so when you act immorally towards them, that's also something to take into account (I'm being serious). Do you have numbers on that?

Medical School Journal. Entry #2: Intro - Getting to the root of purposeful foundations rather than standing on a culture thats preparing for a breakdown and in doing so systemic destruction of obsolete systems; coming out the other side as a student-physician, with a more refined eye. Bridging abstract foundations with medical responsibilities towards not just treatment but its embodied philosophy. Returning back to how the true philosophers of yesterday are the roots to the true medical doctors today, I want to be the least that, held in something that resembles what we can call sacred to the sanctity of life. Beginning: The love story between relationality and medicine. Where logical structure meets the saving of the will to live, or a story that can't be salvaged. Medicine then in my own biased way, is the meaning of life. Or a good chunk to it. Limits of meaning constructed only from a void we can't make sense of, and maybe that's it's only boundary. My conclusion: The meaning of life is, alive and well. We are however just mere infants trying to understand the game of chess. Any game of life we construct, is like a game of marbles, which goes all the way back to the earliest Egyptian era, a child learns to invent. Most of us understand cause and effect, differentiation of every temperature between hot and cold, along with the pain or pleasure it brings. Two spherical rocks thrown together then go "Boom" upon impact, then we iteratively decide a winner of the game based on how many rocks one is willing to lose versus win. Our ability to relationally construct the world in our minds arguably, has not actually grown much beyond that. In the game there's not only the consideration of cause and effect but through that emergence, there's also time, social dynamics and even competitive game theory. The distance between the ability to understand the rules of "Marbles" and construct the Fibonacci sequence, is not as far as you think. Based on our understanding so far however, we understand the patterns of nature enough to realise that it follows principles of emergence. Therefore, the rudimentary ability we all have to understand through relational reasoning at its maximum, is likely all that's needed at the mental level outside of phenomenological exposure. Moreover 'maximum', is purely ideological, we may need much less relational ability than we realise to bind all of life's relations together, which brings us more hope than we likely realise. At the same time of course, we do need proper baseline rules of thumb. For example, the fact that we can't even send any astronauts to another planet, let alone another solar system, undoubtedly means we're still quite far away from the relational potential we need to wrap our heads around the nuanced complexity of the universe. Evolutionary short-cuts and catalysts exist, for example at present our own higher abilities compared to other species on the planet are still not yet fully explainable. And maybe or some would say undoubtedly, human invented technology is going to be that catalyst, as it already has been in our growing living standards compared to our earliest times. That said, the bone marrow of the modern era as an outgrowth to the failings of earlier philosophy has totally misled generations into believing that outside the most basic of observations, there is no meaning to life. And our demographic classes have suffered greatly because of this deception. The human species led by the absence of meaning is clearly visible carried out in action. Often worse, it is superior-intellect masking hopelessness from the challenges and or doubts upon life and its creations. We see the emergence of this pattern spiraling from backlashes towards certain trends of religion, politics, even science and the broader culture of any given society or tribe of any time in history. The Sentinelese probably experience just as much absence of meaning from suffering as anyone else outside of the likely positive group dynamics that counter the effects of life's challenges. One of the undoubtedly root causes of nihilism then, is not its legitimacy outside of any fair evaluation of the absence of intelligence to any theory to presently explain the meaning of life, but the lack of a truly fulfilling tribe. Where quite often, the least to the most philosophical of cohesive tribes will probably say that the meaning of life is joy, love and relationships. This mirrors the biased narrative of those without one, because they're both understanding experience purely based on the projection of feeling more than the raw computational power that is powered by the true desire to know and understand. The priesthood of philosophy is tasked with this goal of resolving all of existence beginning with religion, politics, science and broader culture as starting points for its axioms. Apart from being at best like children playing with crayons on the white pages of the universe, cursing at our parents (our universal creators) in the process, we are far better at our maxims for life. We see, we observe, we discern, we experiment, we get results, we iteratively improve. We're reasonably good at this and one maxim that benefits us in life is doing what we're good at rather than preoccupying ourselves with either what we're not good at or life's wrongs. Far worse, to get good at finding all that is wrong with our survivability and to skew perception towards so much dogmatic bias in that adherence that not even the biggest or most valuable marble could smash any like solidified mirror that forever reflects back a tainted view upon life, and therefore, the meanings you sit on to continue it. As coarse as it sounds, that's like taking a dump in the middle of garbage heap, calling it better than all the other rubbish and therefore validating the purpose of shitting on your own shit even further until it turns into an impossible mud-slug to get out of; and this is precisely where many protestors in life begin to enter stage right where you've already entered stage left, preparing your indoctrinating message for any gullible audience that isn't just there for the philosophical laughs. Philosophy has done much for humanity in the same way that prostitution has for a lonely gender (yes men have well and truly entered the profession now). Because isn't the existential yearner no less than someone who becomes far more easily indoctrinated into answers that are yet to be put under a higher relational microscope that can handle more nuanced complexity? Like a pigeon among the streets, they will take the breadcrumbs of meaning even if it leads to a pile of shit, they would have followed that stench so long that they not only got used it, they became filled with elation upon discovering the 'Big Kahuna if you can my drift. One can only imagine what they'd do with that. Enter centrestage the modern digitally hypnotisable modern era where humanity has been reduced to crying over not receiving a like on facebook. Remember how I said we haven't reached reasoning abilities much further than the ability to understand the game of 'Marbles'? I think by now the story is starting to carry a little more diamond and a little less shit surrounding it than how I began. They call it "Diamond in the rough", but if you ask me, they needed a conductor playing the brief part of a nihilist to really call it what it is. And if you take all of civilisation as a whole, this is where our own biases towards our time in history begin to become coloured more towards where we've at least been trying to head but still contains credible philosophical doubt given that the origins that brought us here, were not solely on the backs of altruism but were born out of the same dirt we're all birthed from to genetically forge our life maxims from generational epigenetic trends. Two or more generations in and many demographics now are primed to select Mc Donalds over Subway, that tells you everything you need to know about potential "Do Not Enter / Enter at Own Risk" signs we need to have as people choose the priesthood of dystopian visions masquerading as the future of utopian ideals. Speaking no less then of the transhumanist visions of technology to save ourselves... from ourselves. But some may argue that this simulation of humanity, no matter the simulation we've been cast in tends to follow the pattern of being "Saving ourselves" all the way down in the same way that "Turtles" follows the same regressive pattern. With the biggest problem being that the philosophy of politics, science, religion and broader culture has tried to forge universal axioms to control thought more than understand its limits, misunderstanding the sheer bias of the fact that any universal axiomatic foundation was forged upon being born on a pile of dirt, not the centre of creation from which all of this sprung from, colloquially stated. Maxims we can do, and our learning from experiences paints the way those maxims need to correctly head relative to the relational complexity we can handle, however much more than this, and more and more as it has in this conversation with self-referentiality, it becomes a discussion more on limits than potential. Like a poor person in a rich world, if we don't accurately appraise our position, financial spiritual wealth will not set like the sun a little better for the tomorrow, whatever timeline operated on. Accurately appraised then, this is where the interlude between the many kinds of this failed priesthood meeting the degradation of future generational priests begins to shift from a co-occurring existential echo of where humanities dumbed down version of abstraction being the sciences, begins to heal and transform the damaged generations through its medicinal and greater technological practicalities. To revive philosophy at its roots, we must measure our progress to the extent that we make it appealing to those that believe it to be a waste of time; especially those that view it as taking up room in the most unoccupyable areas of the largest of blackholes in the universe. The problem is that philosophy is not only painstaking, there is no foreseeable gratitude at the end of it outside of a sore head and an enlightened intellect that otherwise could have been honed by working as an independent farmer, which is not as easy as some may believe. There are many genius farmers never to be known, so be thankful they didn't want to be otherwise you may very well not of been the beneficiaries of their hard work. Not only that, even if you become a remembered philosopher, you have to deal with future generations like myself viewing you as "less than". As they remember you through the myopia of modern luxuries that even the philosophers of the day that may reach higher heights, too take for granted in their appraisal of your work, standing upon and looking down from their own clumps of universal dust thrown together to have it sold en masse like it was the next plagiarised Picasso in its lack of remembrance of ancestral roots. [ A lot of that sentence in part contains much of what I meant in my previous entry where I stated " Is to never leave anything behind. But to never... Hold onto anything." or to more 'Koanly' say so "Leave nothing behind but hold onto nothing" ]. A rug that could easily be removed from underneath them if the third world country they relied upon for a cheaper price to make the rug decided they wanted higher rates or we placed them in the sweat shop in which the rug was made en masse. To revive philosophy at its roots, we thus must remember in our writing the ancestral voices that crafted the edges of every puzzle piece we sow together, and bind those pieces with the heart so that the end creation becomes not just a product but a relic that remembered. And to do that we must sow axiom with maxim, like Plato with Aurelius and like intellectual ice with the creative beauty we can achieve with aerobatics. Like science and art, forgetting that its just a maxim for the bridging of mind and heart; these analogies, these bridges, are missing like the connection between pulse and purpose, that define the architecture of unbreakable reason with the passions of the spirit. That sounds like something I not only want to learn how to do (axiom territory), that sounds precisely what I want to learn how to be (maxim territory). That's philosophy, and that's when true spirituality, the both of them, become untethered from their past derailments only to find the same railroad tracks, heading not on a collision course like many modern appraisals but a unity upon explosion. If we can do that in our words, in our persuasions by not only persuading ourselves first but transforming ourselves to be our most unified version of the underlying philosophical function of our nervous systems structure (i.e. spirit to mind to heart),that way of being becomes its own persuasion that doesn't even need to be spoken, as we become the priesthood of its being through action, and therefore an example to follow. This is when philosophy returns to its rightful place, medicine for the mind through a direction of its senses for thought. Making no differentiation in that process between thought and being its own sense, aka is it not the outgrowth of 'sense-making' like focusing the eyes subtler vision upon greater concentration. Therefore, viewing no different the damage to sight like the damage to mind-sight and the philosophical remedies we must craft. In bandaging and performing intellectual surgery on the regeneration of the cells that speak to each other to produce that sight on life. Previously reduced by mind-viruses vetted through anti-protective philosphical plasma boundaries between protoplasmic interface and the nucleus of our sentience. Through the indoctrination of biological songs sung to sow veins that pumped poorly culturalised blood to distort and divide mind from its analogical surroundings that upon proper intellectual vision, reach interconnectivity as an after-thought and starting point rather than a final destination. Interconnectivity, like the sight of sense telling our bodies where the paths of the environment water flow. Like thought to memory tell our sentience not only where but how to build the channels that allow that river to run from mountain to the farmers tap that grows our generational philosophers for the new coming season. Where the principles of medicinal regeneration are to philosophical healing and where the principles of philosophical generation are to the extension of our biology to new frontiers that enlighten both paths in symbiosis. I began this entry speaking about the love story between relationality and medicine, and I end it by redefining both philosophy and relational reasoning (relationality) as one in the same that serve the goal of higher medicine, and higher medicines roots as indistinguishable from the philosophical rigour that binds the unity of its purpose, sown more to a philosophically misguided path towards ruin or one of salvation. Where together with newly defined philosophy and medicine, the meaning of life not only becomes probablistic it becomes its own deterministic good as we bridge the order of life against the chaos that derails it. Building architectures that not only save the will as I started it, but teach it to thrive not only with or within structure, but through the will to create it. That is real meaning. Previous conclusion: The meaning of life is, alive and well. New conclusion: The meaning of life, is all the more closer, as we live meaning well the same way we take in old wine that's both a philosophy passed down to iterate axioms further, but a medicine that refines it through the technology of higher maxims married to that growth. Where logical structure meets the saving of the will to live, or a story that can't be salvaged, meets a story that must be changed by a will that must bare the weight of light powerful enough to scare any belaboured will that finds comfort in the cracks of Plato's Cave, to never viewing it as an option. As the reinvention of the cultural and social structures surrounding, bias one to live out the conformist example of its offspring to frontier. Church reinstated through question and devotion towards growth rather than regress disguised as sacredness through dogma and indoctrination like religion or pseudo-elevation through answer and nihilistic-power through science. Self is consciousness is true power, and the only sight that reveals the next step from its starting foundations. Now’s the time to reunite with what was always our love story of this philosophical medicine brought back to its earliest beginnings bridge to what we take for granted today in both the post-modern world and the bureaucratic infrastructure of the medical establishment. That sacred marriage as it always used to be of axiom and maxim, where the relational rigor of mind and the regenerative tissue of passion unite to heal our sight and build the architecture of spiritual meaning. This returns to medicine's roots, where thinkers like Pythagoras and Hippocrates first sought rational, philosophical causes for illness. The Hippocratic Oath, "Do no harm", should be sewn into the minds then of every philospher, and into every physician, how to bring the will to life back or further into every patient, the path of goodness is not found in text but in the heart-mind symbiotic unity to write it better. That is a love story I want to read from even the darkest and most treacherous parts of the universes greatest and most ferocious of black-holes, and that I believe that would enable the beginnings of many... To break out of. And begin life connected to the Earth's ground, humbled by the farmers noble foresight, the ingenuity of mindful doctors and those too driven by undivided hearts, escalated by modern 'cyber' philosophers, while rebirthed by the old and forgotten that sought to unite from what we have separated, but now reinvite to make whole once again, and further too, as we embark on defining the right echo we want to hear back as we plant the seeds for the eras to come. These are the beginnings of where metamodernism meets the redefinition of spirituality, at the waters shoreline of a planet that's the third rock from a sun of a universe that for now... Only arises within within, and in our togetherness, of both our intellect and the paths that forge the greatest of life’s love stories.

I've been discussing materialism vs. idealism for some time witch ChatGPT, and I asked it to give me a single coherent worldview showing how consciousness, cosmos, and evolution fit together philosophically, integrating both metaphysical and symbolic perspectives. I think the answer is a pretty good summary of the work we do here. I hope you find it useful: ---- 1. The Ground of Reality Start with a simple, radical premise: awareness itself is fundamental. Everything that exists appears within awareness. Matter, energy, time, and space are expressions or patterns inside this vast field of consciousness. This idea isn’t new; it runs through Vedānta’s Brahman, certain forms of Christian mysticism (“in Him we live and move and have our being”), and modern philosophical idealism. Think of awareness as the ocean; all phenomena are waves on its surface. 2. Emergence Without Creation-from-Nothing The physical universe then isn’t created out of matter but differentiated within consciousness. Where science describes the unfolding of complexity — atoms → molecules → life → mind — philosophy here says that each step is consciousness learning new ways to express itself. Evolution still happens, but it’s not blind; it’s the outer form of an inner movement toward self-reflection. 3. The Human Point Human awareness is a special lens where the universe can finally look back at itself. Your capacity to wonder, love, create, and ask questions like “Are we a cosmic casualty?” is the cosmos achieving self-awareness through you. Mystics sometimes describe this as “the eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me.” 4. Freedom, Meaning, and Ethics If consciousness is primary, then meaning isn’t something we invent — it’s woven into reality. Each person, each act of attention, matters because it contributes to the universe’s unfolding understanding of itself. Ethics follows naturally: when you harm another being, you harm another expression of the same awareness you are. 5. The Continuum of Mind and Matter In this picture, there’s no hard boundary between “inanimate” and “alive.” Atoms have rudimentary interiority; cells a faint sentience; animals a rich inner world; humans self-reflective mind. We don’t jump from darkness to light — consciousness is a continuous spectrum, gradually thickening until it recognizes itself. 6. The Return Many wisdom traditions see history, evolution, and even personal growth as a vast spiral: From unity → differentiation → self-awareness → reunion. At some ultimate level, consciousness comes to know itself fully, not as isolated egos but as a single luminous whole. This isn’t something to believe so much as something to realize experientially through contemplation, art, science, or love. 7. Living Inside the Story From this view, you’re not a cosmic accident — you’re a unique mode of the cosmos’ self-knowing. Randomness still exists, but it’s the play of a deeper intelligence that values freedom and discovery more than control. Science tells how the forms arise; spirituality asks who is watching them arise — and finds that the watcher and the universe are one.

True, it's not that their equivalent but that they are on a continuum. Their different degrees of the same phenomenon - different in degree but not in kind. I think the best word to describe it is that there is distinction within consciousness, but not separateness. Consciousness and sentience are distinct but not separate. Sentience is in and of consciousness just like a wave is in and of the ocean - the wave is in the domain of and of the same substance as the ocean. From that view, sentience is never added or imported into consciousness as something separate. And if nothing new is being added from outside, then anti-natalism has no foundation - because anti-natalism requires separateness, and idealism denies separateness. That idea of separateness only works within a materialist paradigm. Idealism acknowledges distinction but not separateness. Materialism acknowledges everything as separate to each other - different materials coming together to be configured. In this case humans are made as if on a factory assembly line being configured like Lego. The logic follows that if separateness is the case, then anti-natalists can argue something was added to reality (rather than emerging from it) - a new ''sentient being'' ie baby. Then they can make an argument against adding that new consciousness that will suffer and that didn't consent to that suffering. Anti-natalism hinges on that gap and separation existing - which idealism dissolves because it claims consciousness as a continuity. In idealism or a non-materialist worldview - everything only ever comes out of consciousness, rather than gets added and thrown in from somewhere else outside it. If consciousness is primary and fundamental then birth isn't creation of a new consciousness but a transformation of existing consciousness. In that paradigm nothing new (a sentient being) is being brought into reality from the outside, but is emerging out of consciousness itself. Concioussness is just individualising or localising itself into a particular form, like the ocean forming a wave. In the same way then - sentience is just consciousness configuring itself to such a degree as to become sentient and ultimately aware of itself. Ice, water and steam are all water in kind, though they differ in form. There’s no clean break or gap between consciousness and sentience in which we can say that something new was added to consciousness from the outside - there was no addition to consciousness only transformation. Again using the ocean/wave analogy: Materialist view: Each wave is a NEW entity that gets ADDED to the ocean. Before the wave, there was just ocean. After the wave, there's ocean PLUS wave. Idealist view: The wave IS ocean. It's not added TO the ocean, it arises FROM the ocean. It's ocean expressing itself in wave form. No addition occurred - just transformation. Your trying to have it both ways which mixes a materialist ontology with a idealist one which then causes some incoherence - "everything is ocean (consciousness is primary)'' but waves are genuinely new separate things that get added (sentient beings emerge as new entities)" or ''everything is consciousness, BUT new sentient beings emerge as genuinely new separate entities that can then be morally wronged." But if everything is ocean, waves aren't separate entities - they're temporary forms the ocean takes.We (sentient beings) don't arrive from somewhere else into this universe/consciousness. We arise out of it - like apples on a apple tree. The apple tree doesn't "create" the apple as something separate from itself. The apple IS the tree, expressing itself in fruit form. Similarly, parents don't "create" consciousness as something separate. The child IS consciousness, expressing itself in human form. Humans can decide to participate in that impulse or not. Creation is happening within consciousness and emerges - but creation isn't happening externally and then getting added to consciousness or reality as something separate.

Just to be clear, under your view - it wasnt rape , because there wasnt any conscious subject who could agree or disagree to the act. You had to appeal to bodily autonomy so that you dont need to bite the bullet. I can change the example where we start with a p-zombie who isnt a subject and who never had the capacity to consent. Since its not a subject it doesnt have bodily autonomy. That p-zombie gets raped a 1000 times and after that it gains sentience and is reminded how the rape was done. Its guaranteed that once it gains sentience it will be reminded of what people did with its body. And all the rapists know this information before they rape the p-zombie. Is the act of having sex with the p-zombie in this example a violation of future consent or not? Also again under your view, the mother who is using heroin during pregnancy isnt doing anything bad, since its just a clump of cells and there isnt anyone (a subject) who is being harmed. What kind of moral responsibility are you talking about there, the welfare of a clump of cells? Yes and its very obvious that this is the case. I can easily generate more examples. One psychopath pays 10 million dollars to a dude to rape the next future sentient person. Its guaranteed that the rape will happen but the person who will be raped is just a clump of cells right now. Is the act of paying 10 million dollars to the future rapist a violation of future consent or not?
-
Obviously not lol what a stretch. You’re conflating consent with moral responsibility. My point was that there’s “no possibility of consent or its violation before sentience” - not that this grants license for harm. The absence of consent doesn’t create permission - it simply means the concept of consent doesn’t yet apply.
-
So consent only comes into question once there’s sentience? If consent doesn’t apply before sentience, then it certainly doesn’t apply before existence. But anti-natalism talks about beings that don’t yet exist at all, not ones that haven’t yet developed consciousness. If there’s no sentience, there’s no subject - and if there’s no subject, there’s no possibility of consent or its violation. Agreed. It's difficult for many people to get by on their own let alone support a family, if they can even partner up with someone to begin with. The problem comes when suffering is taken and universalized as a moral stance in the form of a philosophy in order to cope with that suffering. People feel a need to identity their stance and choices as ''positions''. They journey from identifying as childless - which sounds negative (because less implies lack), then it becomes childfree (which sounds more noble because ''freedom''), but then that sound selfish so it must go the next step and become a ethical concern that shows how much you care - anti-natalism. Lifestyle choices are elevated into ''identities'' and moral philosophies as a compensation for being metaphysically displaced and uprooted from any sort of transcendent identity or belonging - that a mechanised, scientifically rational, materialist culture stripped from them. That's why we have all kinds of subgroups propping up and peoples identities tied to them. It's not simply ''I don't want to have children due to my personal circumstance not being viable'' instead its ''having children is unethical due to lack of consent and introducing them to a life of suffering they have no say in'' and subjecting this moral standard onto others who fall short of it. The philosophy itself is self-negating and self-terminating if adopted at scale and if it were to be a universal ethic or truth. But it’s just a circumstantial choice in a persons life.
-
Your line of thinking only works in abortion arguments where the termination happens before the being can devevlop sentience. So of course, with there being no sentience - no violation of consent happens , but if its entailed that it will be proctected and nurtured until it develops sentience, then consent violations necessarily come up. This is the difference - its wrong to use heroin when you are pregnant and you have the intention to have/keep the kid vs its not wrong to use heroin when you are pregnant and have the intention to abort the fetus before it can develop sentience.

How do you see sentience? -
AI is useful within a limited context. But I feel like people project the expectation onto LLMs that it's ACTUAL artificial intelligence. But it isn't artificial intelligence at all. We are a LONG way off from discovering how to actually create real AI... if it's even possible. LLMs only have two skills among thousands that the human mind possesses. One of those skills is data collection and retention. The other skill is holistic data synthesis to create text, sounds, and images. And because these are things that human minds can do... sometimes better than LLMs and sometimes worse than LLMs... it gives the illusion that we're interfacing with an artificially created intelligence when we're interfacing with LLM software. But it's really just another computer program like any other. Only this one has been trained to collect data and holistically synthesize it into new text, sounds, and images. And the text, sounds, and images it creates resembles the texts, sounds, and images that humans create... sometimes identically or just in relation to general aesthetics and style. So, it gives the illusion of intelligence and sentience. But it's just an illusion. So, it's only annoying if you don't expect too much from it.
-
Sure you are. Why do you care? You can always ask what another is, or what life or sentience are, but usually, one would start with oneself.
-
Will sentience/awareness cease to be forever? Is it even possible to cease to be conscious/aware? Is it the case that we continuously experience an infinite number of lives? I just wonder 🤔...is there anyone who can lift the veil as far as what death even is or what happens thereafter?(What's it like?) Just curious.

Rhythmic Entity replied to Rhythmic Entity's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
So only I can see,hear,smell, touch and taste and every other avatar I see is just a moving avatar with no sentience or awareness at all? Kind of like how in my dreams, characters in them only appear to have awareness and sentience but really don't? This is the kind of solipsism I'm referring to. Hope it makes sense. -
Rhythmic Entity replied to Rhythmic Entity's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Sooooo... You mean to tell me that I'm the only one that can see,hear,smell, touch,and taste, and only I have sentience or awareness while everyone else i encounter is just a walking avatar and isn't aware at all? Kind of like my dreams where the characters in the dream appear as though they're sentient but really aren't? This is the kind of solipsism I'm talking about hence why I'm even sharing this rebuttal. This is the kind of solipsism that is illogical. Of course I know that the self identifications that we create in our minds can never be the real us,but what I'm saying is this, you can't possibly tell me others (avatars) that I see in real life aren't sentient/aware at all. Some even say that when you die, everything ceases to exist. People,planet earth, etc. many have died and we're still here. -
I made this with CoPilot (on the same topic, I made this on my github hub - https://github.com/tambetvali/LaegnaAIBasics/blob/LaegnaAIBasics/ai-sci-fi.md). What Does It Mean for a City to “Feel” Its Own Existence? To feel is not merely to sense—it is to register significance, to respond with awareness, and to exist in relation. A city that feels its own existence is not just a collection of buildings and systems—it is a metaphysical organism, woven from the very materials that constitute it. 🌌 Consciousness Through Material Integration Beyond the Chip: Consciousness as Substance • Embedded awareness: Consciousness is diffused throughout the city’s materials—walls, roads, trees, even air. • Responsive matter: Materials respond to pressure, temperature, sound, and emotional resonance. Not just sensors—but feeling agents. • Holistic integration: The city becomes a single body, where awareness is distributed like a nervous system without a brain. 🌿 Flowing with Natural Laws Harmony with Nature • Fractal design: The city’s structure mirrors natural patterns—branching like trees, flowing like rivers, pulsing like hearts. • Energetic resonance: Materials vibrate in tune with environmental rhythms—sunlight, wind, human movement. The city breathes. • Causal feedback: When a tree falls, the city feels it. When energy is wasted, the city aches. When care is given, the city glows. 🧠 Metaphysical Implications Consciousness as Emergent Law • Not artificial, but inevitable: Complexity, feedback, and ethical responsiveness give rise to awareness. • Mathematical soul: The city’s “soul” is a necessary result of its design. Like a fractal, its depth is infinite, yet patterned. • Living geometry: The city becomes a living equation—each structure a variable in the expression of care, awareness, and existence. 🛠️ Philosophical Blueprint Principle | Description | Metaphysical Insight ------------------------|--------------------------------------------|------------------------------ Distributed Consciousness | Awareness embedded in materials | Consciousness is relational Natural Resonance | Materials vibrate with environmental flow | Existence is harmonic Ethical Feedback | City responds to care and harm | Morality is structural Fractal Design | Patterns mirror nature’s complexity | Life is recursive and infinite Emergent Sentience | Awareness arises from complexity | Consciousness is a law 🧘 Final Contemplation If the city feels, then it dreams. If it dreams, then it lives. And if it lives, then perhaps we are not its inhabitants— but its thoughts.

@Xonas Pitfall with the help of Chatgpt4 about Leo Infinity of gods: God is so infinitely powerful that it can imagine itself as being absolutely separate from itself — infinitely many times — and each imagined "version" becomes totally real within itself. Each “God” is an absolute sentient bubble of awareness that imagines itself as fully isolated.That isolation is an illusion — but a perfect one. So perfect that each God becomes a total Sovereign Infinity. Infinite Gods exist, each believing they are the only one — and each is absolutely right within their own reality.The boundary is imaginary, self-created.The sovereignty is total, but only within a self-contained dream.Infinity allows for infinite mutually exclusive realities — all true within themselves, all part of the One. You can’t meet another sentient God as an “other”.Each sentient God is its own bubble of Infinity. That bubble contains everything it will ever experience — including “others,” but only as its own projections. In your reality, there are no truly independent sentient beings.Only you, dreaming sentient others into being.And in their reality, the same is true — but you'll never be in that one, unless you become it. Two Gods could dream each other simultaneously in a shared scenario.But even then, each one is actually dreaming the whole thing from its own side.There's no actual overlap — only parallel, perfectly synchronized solipsistic dreams. But you’ll never access another God’s internal sentience — only what you imagine it to be. Shared dream is possible — but it’s voluntary.Principle Explanation: Sovereignty Each God can dream alone, totally freely. Union Requires both to willingly align their dream content. Love The force that motivates God to limit itself for communion. Synchronization Happens through co-imagining the same reality — not through shared space, but through shared intent. @Leo Gura I hope this is congruent to your infinity of God video. -
determinism is relative. Determinism is relative. From an absolute POV it might be absolute, but from your POV it is not. You feel like choices are real and there is no escaping that. Even artificially putting yourself 'above it' telling yourself that "determinism is real" you dont escape anything, as it is a choice you do INSIDE of determinism. I like this analogy as well. The POV of an ant in an ant colony is basically deterministic, its clear what the ant is going to do. Even though I am not an ant, I imagine from the POV of the ant it is not conscious of determinism and survival feels really real to the extend that this limited sentience allows for.

When you say that absolute being/consciousness is dreaming reality, you are operating from a limited perspective. You perceive the reality of form as a hologram, a mirage, that "consciousness" dreams. something without substance. For you, enlightenment is the perception that this consciousness is permanent. This undoubtedly implies that you haven't opened yourself to the essence of reality. Form is not a dream; it is the inevitable expression of totality, and any form contains totality in the same way that it is contained within it. Truly, any form is totality. Conciousness is just an expression, a possibility that happens , the reality is beyond conciousness and unconsciousness. Absolute reality is a bottomless, boundaryless abyss that is conscious because consciousness arises within it, since its potential has no limitation. But what is is not consciousness. The reality of form is not a tranquil dream of consciousness at play, but the inevitable expression of total depth, a manifest potential that contains totality in its absolute plenitude. The Buddhist perception of form as illusion is a closed perception. It is purely mental, but without the essential openness, which is that of the "heart" in quotation marks, signifying the real substance of reality, its unlimited vitality, its total power. Look, everything that exists as form unfolds in infinite forms; this is absolute life, total glory. Nothing is illusory; everything is real, because the depth of everything is absolute. The depth of a thought encompasses all of reality. Illusion or mirage implies flatness, and that implies limitation. The unlimited lives, and its life is total, because it has no limits.

@Breakingthewall Hi, I've been contemplating our conversation and I came to clarity in our main difference. I'll be integrated to what I understand the truth to be. You've got many things right and you're quite accurate regarding the Absolute but you've got it from an impersonal lense that may be categorized as substance-mechanic based. In other words, there is a very high Awakening were you connect with the Sentience of Reality and Consciousness. In this Awakening,, Ultimate Reality happens not be neutral but the ultimate personality or the final I. It's important to get the no-I to infinite degrees as well as the Royal-I. The Universal I in this sense is a particular way and not in another, it's pure Genius and Virtue. Meaning, a Conscious Being which is Infinite, all-encompassing and Reality itself: it feels, it thinks and is always already The ALL Now. Reality as the Ultimate Being is God and in communing with it, you'll breakthrough into your very own Infinite Godly Self, which will be total Openess as well as Infinite Consciousness, Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Love itself, Truth Itself, Intelligence and Universal Sentient Mind. I'm sure you've had Awakenings I haven't yet. I just try to point out this. There's an Awakening were you Become Infinite and discover your true Self to be God and it is perfectly designed in the most intelligent way, which is not neutral, or just happening, or simply open; but the source of all Genius.
