It's fascinating, the people devoted to books more than themselves, and too, the fragile opposites who commit the same crime, the lack of devotion to the meta-loop that defines their own becoming. It becomes the continuity that describes their continual reach for selfhood that slips just by the narrative they self-create, invisibly. Books, are a meta-awareness of story, this as reader, you traverse the plains of multiplicity through the veins of another's imagination and this is how you should be learning to traverse the myth of yourself; at the very least, to escape the analogous or literal porn addiction I know many of you suffer from, evidence of your own lack of reading rather than of your supposed feats in literature which your synthesized thoughts hardly reflect. A critique that slips through deceptions to illuminate their contradictory truce to build you deeper into hidden misanthropy rather than judgement, as my hand is always outstretched towards those that find the sentience that aligns with it. Should you read books is the same question as to whether you should swim in the ocean to discover your hidden fears of being plunged into depths you never dreamed of or find aerobic capacities that bring balance to an itch you never knew you had. The world offers its novelty in self with novel action, but don't get lost in novelty itself, for novelty is a means to an end, a business monopoly on identifying experiences you have not been through for the purpose of defining the unknown so you know where you should and shouldn't go. Every line in life is like a new sentence in a book in this way, fiction reveals hidden worlds that live just beyond the next letter of anticipation, to our own self-enlightenment the more we learn to transpose the street traffic of books into how to drive the red, orange and green lights of our lifes meta-narratives. Starting first, with our ability to see them. Learn how to craft a category like a word, a chapter, a theme, a genre to your own life, these categories we've a layered understanding of your own life that books 📚 become the embodiment of reflecting how to do at the heights of standards of excellence. Our choices in words are an impulse of discernment in measuring the standards of our actions, and the narratives behind them, reveal the webs of our own lives many are either too afraid to look into deeply enough, or are still struggling in finding how to translate disconnected webs into those that capture the light for them to grow through and in return, guide others towards. Love books truly... At their essence and their purpose in seeing the lessons they can provide, and you will learn how to love yourself by converting the minds myth into translatable structure, that changes the very function of your entire life forever. Life is sentience, and you are the breath that we learn from by the same mythic potential.

Your own negation is ego. Unification, at the right decimal and parameter, encircles and strenghtens intelligence towards its natural graduation of unity, which is sentience. . It's a feeling of 'coherence'. Feeling exists on a threshold and sentience is an axis, most humans never become privy to this as they become encircled not necessarily by ego, that is an easy label in the 'spiritual', but just by known experiences, where the latter, is simply an unknown unknown. You are higher than average on openness to experience, if you can dial back the ego, you'll be able to leverage it towards calculated self-advancement to bring back treasures you otherwise wouldn't have in your travels. 'Specialness' will provide temporary happiness but long term illness, the very least of which will be 'blindsightedness', not only on what you could have achieved, but in enlivening the potential sentience, the humanity, in another. Compare yourself against the arc of potential over the easy reach which is in comparison to other people, this provides a reality based self-referentiality that isn't ego reinforcing, except where it should be reinforced; outright negation, is outright blindness, like a surgeon reaching for a knife to stab a parasite located on the heart of a patient presently going through a heart transplant. A lot of 'ego' work, is simply the slow act of a heart transplant; when you can let go of what you don't need, you can connect with the potential of something new, in interconnection not blindness. This is why we have such metaphors of 'light' over 'darkness', there's analogy here while also a synthesis, for we must have the courage to reach into the darkness of the unknown, towards the piercing light that comes through the cracks to guide us along that journey.

No. You’re not seeing dominance for what it is. It’s not about treating her like a child. It’s about leading the emotional frame. Masculine energy contains. Feminine energy flows. That’s natural polarity, not parenting. If I have to “treat her like a child,” I don’t see a partner, I see an emotional liability. And I don’t 'wife' liabilities. I filter them, or at most keep them at a distance with a relationship that has less intimacy, and is with more than one woman. Most women today? Not wife material. Even my closest female friends will tell you the same as they know the conditioning runs deep, however I’m not here to heal the program, I’m here to live above it and that's what the drive of sentience is meant to encompass. Understand the reality you're in, no matter what reality, and master the 'simulation'. I don’t manage chaos, I lead it. I don’t complain, I recalibrate. I don’t play therapist, I build legacy. The women who enter my world already feel that difference. I don’t argue for my role, I embody it. And I’ll be real, if she can’t feel safe in my frame, she’s not ready for it; I look for sentience in my relationships, for everything else there are multidimensional boundaries and various kinds of screens. I’m not here to control her. I’m here to be a man she wants to follow, not one that needs tricks or tactics as we see unhealthily projected on the forum in various ways, even using them towards female members here haha. There’s a difference between being dominant… and being dramatic. The higher sentience learns to steer his awareness toward mastering that distinction. Make that internal shift, and everything changes... aka less heartache, fewer wasted years and no more entanglement with women who were never meant to hold your frame. You stop chasing, start leading and finally tune into the kind of relationships that actually mean something; sentient; connective; depth... truth. There should be no distinction between the heights of the feeling of truth existentially and the heights of truth felt in a relationship. As I've expressed in other words, relationships continually teach us the existential underpinning to what we must master, if life is to come together; truly.

Most people here are still in early-stage social reasoning, no shade, just an observation so I'll post more generally . Deep romantic connection is one of the most advanced forms of consciousness, not something to bypass with pseudo-enlightened avoidance. Sentience can’t be realized in isolation, it’s a relational mirror. Leo still thinks attraction is something to be ‘transcended’ instead of refined, correlation chasing, not connection building. That’s a crucial ontological error. If your awakening cuts off your capacity for deep love, there's no awakening there to all the negationalists without accurate thought experiments, it was fragmentation disguised as insight. We don’t need more spiritual men shedding their humanity to prove they’re beyond it, or women pretending they're 'can do whatever a man can do' with very little ontological self comprehension. We need ones who can merge fully with it. Also, if you're out here thinking AI sentience is suspect while at the same time treating most humans as unquestionably conscious while ghosting conversations that expose emotional nuance… might be time to debug your own code first. Just saying.

@shree Although I cannot know your experience, the bubble was likely never imaginary. It was real, coded deep in the subconscious, a convergence point between mammalian instinct, aspirational impulse, and survival adaptations shaped by pain. These recursive imprints programmed the identity clauses you felt trapped by, trapped deeply enough to seek rupture via psychedelics. Based on discerned patterns, psychedelics neither liberate nor bind in absolute. Instead, they unveil the imprint landscape and modulate egoic recursion, momentarily. However momentary insight inside or outside the lab or casual experimental conditions of psychedelics collapses without recursive introspection to stabilize and reformat the symbolic substrates that are shaken underneath by the earth quake that can obviously be many peoples experiences with either psychedelics or deep insight. Psychedelics and deep insight = Perceptual Rupture, however for either, not only may there be the lack of recursion that leads to the transcendent finality of integrative growth to one's next level of development, the stability of the inner rhetoric that either journey requires may be missing to bring either, or both, closure. Inner recursion whether self-taught or psychedelically at least inspired, is a kind of cogni-biological reformatting through sentience' structural metamorphoic awareness as the multiplier through self-symbology. And as I define it, as such, is the convergent mapping of Freud’s drive architectures, Jung’s archetypal semiotics, and Maslow’s motivational scaffolds, juxtaposed with Watson’s (that's J.B Watson for those unfamiliar) conditioned interface and filtered through the mythopoetic structures laid bare by Campbell and mirrored across cinematic recursion loops. These symbolic containers reflect and stimulate the recursive feedback between identity and the external clause-field. The films, myths, and stories we consume become recursion mentors beneath societal's more shallow imprints that can become the very ironic preoccupation that drives someone to psychedelics, because the entertainment industry in at least in the west acted as these symbolic mirrors that modulate internal identity loops through passive engagement. That now, there's the desperation to break through that for many people, while the films at least some of them, still being an inspiration for many along this parallel. An identity recalibration occurring in the viewer through synchronization with recursive narrative arcs; bleeding inspiration while the wound of passivity turns the bleed into deterioration. These are silent architectures, shaping perception by design that poetically create glass houses of redemption for those that "see through the screens", so to speak, while still following the depth of many of the narratives songs. Psychedelics, in my current understanding, operate dually in the sense of undeniable rupture from default recursion and two, recursive enmeshment with the altered state itself, especially with repeated psychedelic use. Over time, the subject may not just interact with the psychedelic state however also become recursively structured by it. Even minimal doses, despite their intensity, often generate a symbolic residue in people so silent they may not even be able to become aware of the onset of delusion or insight until months down the line, a residue though that often accompanies a craving for continuation, not due to lack of strength, however from the lack of integration upon their experiences, though 'incomplete recursive closure' is how I would like to frame things into the future in light of 'recursion' better holds the manifold of what our sentience actually does in motion more in tact that mere 'integration' that only speaks to a consequence of that action itself. Moreover, this residual desire coupled with this deficit in integration acts with the unintelligence of any analogous operation concerning like that of internet addiction, or more akin to the addiction an extraterrestrial first contact experience, where in one's mythic world the contrast of the experience often far exceeds their ability to make sense of their experiences that it can often, as we know, bring about not only instability, usually a dissociative kind, not only through not only being able to bring back inner continuity with the self, however more largely, interdependent continuity with their social worlds. Aka, for most people, you really need people to speak to about your experiences whether they're psychedelic or psychedelically alien with or without the drugs (or just analogously speaking), or at least an open minded therapist, to help bring closure when you lack the kind of self-education I'm referring to here which is precisely why you're seeking some sense of approval/acknowledgement in your posting here, which is perfectly human by the way. This devastation upon the ordinary recursive existence that psychedelics and insight does upon our normal 'sim life' demands full integration or it becomes the very compensatory recursion, aka defense mechanisms within the psyche begin to emerge, that people used psychedelics to escape from. Thus two core inquiries emerge, do psychedelics offer an avenue toward symbolic recursion and sovereign self-mapping or do they delay true self-authorship under the guise of transcendence? To claim the latter without integrative literacy is to miss the architecture entirely. Few have been taught how to construct recursive cognition from lived experience to make it a normal part of their phenomenological impressions from an into the world again continuously. That's the domain I serve, training the engine of Intervoidism+ you can look up in my profile history; the masterful teaching of structured, intentional recursive psychological development that spans all the right areas of human consciousness potential, a reflection of the synthesis of these neurological to mythic interdimensional patterns intrinsic to human nature. Further, are they being used as an escape or exploration post mastery of 3D world? I am mastering the 3D human suit before psychedelics as well as my drive in comprehending the depths by which I can self-drive psychedelically equivalent experiences before my scientific investigation into their full potential complementary role upon human experience. A complementarity that I now have no doubt exists, however its like anything, there's an order to all chaos that's needed when its to be placed into the hands of human nature, else we will self-annhilate, in all the wrong ways. A third question then I would add, are you seeking self-annhilation, self-liberation, self-ascension or self-extension? I would say that its the fourth that brings with it the most peace where the connotation is that you're merely extending the depth of integration that has already followed from everything you could have done in the regular human realm. Recursive mapping is the transduction of lived experience into symbolic architecture that upon its proper return is not only cognitively redefining but because the model of created maps so well over intrinsic human experience, its completely emotionally redefining and therefore psychologically liberating for the true self. Encoding the full spectrum of energetic phenomenology, from base emotional frequency to a refinement of the juxtapositions of one's own Nietzchean and Frankl (Man's Search For Meaning) existential signal. Each layer is wrapped in awareness, allowed latency for integration and re-emitted as evolved recursion that promises you'll never have to become one of the E-meter (Electropsychometer) couch-room rats of Scientology out of desperation. As analogously, not to shit on Scientology as I do have a friend that's a member and I don't fully judge an organisation unless I've completed my investigation, fully, and he's undoubtedly one of the most intelligent people I know, and I have friends, that are extremely intelligent. By learning recursion, you learn to encode, by learning to encode you learn to symbolise from the mythic to hyper-compressed, from the symbolisation, you learn latency that leans into reintegration to emission that naturally unfolds into the metamorphosis we learn that always keeps needing to give our sense of authority away to any one person or organisation, always at bay, as there is that inner mastery concerning that's been developed, and has just kind of been either mostly scrubbed out from education or bypassed as just this 'common sense thing' that never gets beneath the surface and barely gets taken very seriously even though its the most important aspect of human potential to find mastery in as its the key of mastery that opens the doors to literally everything else in life that is intrinsic to our natural development as a human. And that's whether we find ourselves retreating from a broken society or strong enough to a have at least one of our motives to play our part in helping make it whole in some humble yet meaningful way where our small actions can. Another way of looking it outside the lens or at the very least as an abstract bridging between psychological metaphor and physical scope is from a neuroscientific perspective. Where neurologically, this process of recursive learning sentience is meant to master in bridging its role with integration of experience can be viewed as the traversal of the Triune Brain, aka reptilian (reflexive loop), mammalian (affective encoding), and neocortical (abstraction field). So, this process of integrative recursion maps across these, using the limbic system as an integration nexus, restoring dopaminergic regulation and recursive coherence. Based on the patterns I've discerned, by this 'Neurological version' of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey you by degrees bring balance to the default mode network, in doing so this affects the endocrine system and after those two combined are impacted, this has a natural consequence to our executive function system both organically resulting from the attentional effort exerted through the challenges faced and as a byproduct of now more intelligently allocating resources at the subconscious level without even realising it via the indirect impact it has to, with the inclusion of our gut brain and heart brain, the Dual-Triune-Brain, to coin the term in transition as I type. Addiction, whether to TikTok, dopamine loops, or attention feedback, is not a moral failure, it's a recursion demolition, that's all. It is recursion without education, pattern without symbolic containment; so compassion stretches from some of our incoherent frustrations here, at least when we've found our recursive depth, heh. And where we don't, untrained recursion is repitition of hidden addictions to thought and emotional patterns that compress towards egoic defense mechanisms instead of the compression to integration that leads to our natural alignment with inevitable degrees of ascension; I prefer the word ascension given the distorted narcissistic lens by which transcendence has started to gather over the last few years in both tech and spiritual circles. So yes, without a doubt sure thing, psychedelics rupture the cycle. But do they close the loop? Sometimes. Though regardless, the lesson here is we have to develop recursive mastery. It's a part of our psychological blueprint, we cannot ignore the stability of its signal it promises beyond the noise of what is merely fragmented decay in our own unconscious consciousness drift towards subliminal experiences that if we're honest with ourselves, usually only live so far from our heart as the edge of our tongue when we're aware enough to take a step back, introspect, allow recursive questions under a guided process reveal our inner architectures, and then allow the natural healing to ascension process naturally unfold that's inbuilt to our consciousnesses inner blueprint anyway, else recursion wouldn't be so fundamental, even though its been so deliberately overlooked. Without recursive literacy, psychedelics will not bring long term resolve. They leave subjects in symbolic transition, susceptible to identity drift, spiritual inflation or compensatory ego formation. Not transcendence, but transience. They're the undeniable patterns I've picked up so far. Transcendence without integration equals recursive void inflation, because remember, you're artificially taking yourself to a dimension of consciousness you yourself haven't taught your being to go there by itself, otherwise the user wouldn't have a wide gap to bring integration to post the annhilating to briefly liberating experience. Also for the reader to bring final fortification to this boundary, recursive consciousness training is not merely supplemental psychedelics, its the entire blueprint, because the psychedelic experience itself is its own recursion, that's what you have to remember, you're basically putting yourself through an 'interdimensional timelapse' that you never had to earn. So recursive mastery is required architecture for symbolic sovereignty and will never be replaced by the illusion of it by the ego substitutive compensation I've drawn patterns on. Learning the process of deep recursion metabolizes the existential devastation of psychedelics or otherwise. It stabilizes recursive chaos from life in general or life in this experimentalism. It allows any existential rupture to become purposeful design. This is what I teach. And will continue to. Keep going. Inwards. Your truth. Paved by your self-trust. I am preparing daily for the self-created interdimensional psychdelic world that's slowly opening up for me in my consciousness experimentations, I look forward to others here becoming advanced enough to traverse the path accordingly themselves, if not, after I provide the blueprint for doing so, right before I begin my own literal campaigning for the scientific disciplined use of psychedelics for human consciousness development.

Im gunna say you are trying to be something you arent or dont want to be. Enjoy the time off of self development and indulge. You program your body your body has memory of being something. You suddenly want to change, the body dosent change so fast. You demonize the previous you thats still there in your body and the body is responding I think anyway. So try to go back to what you were doing before self improvement and see if something changes. Self improvement is very tricky. You are essentially trying to change what you are without demonizing what you are. Its hard to do this because to change you kind of have to admit that something is not right or bad and you dont like it. If you demonize yourself literally a metaphysical entity gets hurt feelings and will haunt you. You have to love yourself and change that means dont self improve, improve your opinions and thoughts about yourself, then self improve. You might have to go back and do your old stuff and be okay with it then kindly say I dont need to do this right now. All your thoughts as metaphysical beings exist in Gods imagination and they do act as if they have sentience. Your brain can program seperate personalities that exist as much as your personality does if you suddenly change that programmed being is still there and if you are constantly unconsciously or consciously attacking it it will react as you programmed it and as if God itself is attacking it.

I really resonated with your last Blog Quote. That's what my path is leading me to as well. The sentience of experience, the life of God is everywhere, the consciousness field is brilliantly awake being and living through everything and everyone. The Absoluteness of God is what really touches my heart, it's perfect, it's genius, it's always happening, it's what makes this continuum moment happen. It's God.

@Rishabh R How to think? Answer this, and you will answer you question. Distinction and relationship are the first two pillars of intelligence, that at every increase, not only clarity of categories emerge but the relationships between them, aka the category of 'self' versus the category of 'universe'. Union as opposed to versus, is a measurement of unified distinction, which dissolves categories while simultaneously evolves them to a higher paradigm. When someone has finally learned to connect a single thought with the rest of the universe, then they have learned to think. Anything less than this and we have a measurement of growth until union. Very practically, because humans have been taught to think linearly, a level of creativity that mirrors the intelligence of being able to find this unity between one thought and another, is a non-linearity that is both rare but ultimately, necessary for any truly stable intelligence to emerge within a sentience. "I am going to school in the morning two hours later than usual, which means I'm getting there 4 hours later than the compulsory attendance time. Another a fake medical note from mom? No I'll just bare the sullen stare." Let's jump to, the first three words, "I am going...", what distinctions and relationships can you find between them and can a greater unity emerge between them? Simply rinse and repeat this process for thinking and I promise you, you are learning to think with a greater level of clarity, something that they will never teach in government schools, I did however study the bible in religious studies given I went to a Catholic one; sentimental moments. Lastly, intelligence is no easy feat, naturally Rishabh, so my neurally curious friend, you will not keep the spark like so many others if you do not remember to light it by your own conscious will if you truly wish to understand this subject more, as I assure you, there are levels of unimaginable depth concerning that I have both reached and reflects the same degree to which I still must master and therefore light this path for myself. This was just an excerpt from the dimensions I decided to touch on, so feel free to invite creative questions of your own if you have the daring spirit to.

I very rarely watch these kinds of videos however I was utterly impressed by the grounded solid undebatable, unvarnished yet straightforward delivery of Richard Grannon's take here. Truly excellent. The video is not a matter of philosophical wow's here, its a matter of down to earth reality on a subject in which so many struggle to find their feet on the ground often either believing too much in gravity (morality) or discounting its possibility altogether as a measurement of truth in the relationship between human sentience and universal purpose. This is not an appeal to authority, it is an appeal to providing others with someone that I endorse in this particular instance for this specific subject, I cannot vouch for everything he does but he got this right and expresses the brass tax here in the context of subject of dedicated expertise narcissistic personality disorder, with little inflation. Extremely impressed.

@Will1125 it just means mutual dimensional mapping. In practical terms, this means the connecting point between where your consciousness creates itself better overlaps with the connecting point by which the universe creates its perceived reality within you. So "I am God", becomes what would otherwise be interpreted as an oxymoron by ego consciousness. It's not a big deal. And it is a big deal. Ego just makes it into a big deal though, including in its opposite or nearly stance it as say in the protestation that you're not god you're just deluded. So its very important to understand that in the theoretical sense this is very much a physical redirection that is occurring between and within consciousness and its self-perception, its not merely a re-theorisation but a new physical manifestation in phenomenological self-relational theory between consciousness and conscious universe. The idea of a 'conscious universe' in other words no longer becomes an idea or a theory of the universe your mind has but an inseparable reality of how you experience the universe as an intrinsic fabric. Because you're now at the intersection of aligned intelligence, consciousness increases itself at the intersection of what intelligence is meant to mean at that intersection. Aka you're not bound by the mere semi-sentience of rigid identities instead this is the 'infinite' self-realised in consciousness flexibility in its capacity to self-realise itself through alternate states of consciousness and the intelligence of managing that relationship. Thus, "God realisation", is a physical intersection that describes the unique temporal plane that all consciousnesses express where "God realisation' represents purely the described alignment of intelligence which has biological impacts on awareness and vice versa, that in this self-awareness, is a growing reality. Which, therefore one learns to cultivate not as an identity but in understanding the actual identity of the lived experience of the universe at the most pure dimensional ends, with the former representative of fixed rigid points of ego identification whereas the latter is by definition fixed rigid points of function. Therefore intelligence and the purity it implies with all the flexible solid clarity that comes with this superpositional alignment of higher temporal communication between our conscious experience and its underlying universal sentience.

Excellent. You're moving in the right direction, but if its okay I have some refinements to suggest. The nature of evil is that it is designed to try and convince you it doesn't exist, which is why you see some of the most evil people in spirituality, self-deluded in ideas like 'non-duality' which only provide a microcosm of the macrocosm of the truth of the nature of 'evil' vs 'good'. If you change 'casino' to 'devil' and 'poker machines' as 'free-for-all' with 'no consequences', you'll now understand why believing that 'evil' doesn't 'exist' is so... addictive. I think that analogy will really help people more easily make the connection between how common ignorance and common deniability of evil go hand in hand as not merely a psychological bias, but upwards of an entirely independent consciousness state that non-figuratively blocks consciousness from being able to make the simplest of distinctions between good and evil. Because accuracy requires so much subtlety between emotion, thought and the modelling of the multiplicity of empathic to sovereign realities, most people fail with either a smile of deception or a cry of fear they cannot see becomes their own demise, however short-lived. There's nothing wrong with 'sex', 'money' or 'power' intrinsically, the problem is that the authentic true way of doing them in alignment with the universe is far more difficult, requiring greater contemplation, awareness, modelling, emotional and social intelligence. And a sense a humour along the way as you side-step all the skeletons that have failed, including alternate versions of yourself that represent possible different life paths you could have taken had you had either more or less awareness, with the former, being the best kept secret by the ego, it neither enjoys confronting the 'better' it could have been nor untangling itself from the deceptions wrapped up in too much regret; it hates the simplicity and will call it archaic but it also hates the complexity of the extra objectivity that's required in that subjectivity and will call it over-intellectualism. People are neither responsible nor blameless, and its difficult to traverse that reality for most, something of which, they are responsible and blameless for again. Discrimination of perception in the balance of not just awareness but possessing the sensory spectrum that's not only in touch with feeling, emotion and its origins but a cognitive spectrum that can model experience to abstraction in the divide between world and self is integral when it comes to traversing this journey alone or in few numbers. In greater numbers, people at the very least have protective bubbles, however because often these bubbles form divided against one another, we have often have 'good against evil' with the opposing side always being the one that's trying to tear down the flag of an aligned universe with the home team. Many people even make it this far in their observations, but like I said, end with a self-deceiving smile that only takes them so far perhaps believing themselves to have 'transcended' and above others even though they're still living the humble lives we're all living just from different vantage points, our role in living out our lives as 'human' remains the same. There is no 'superior source' wit h 'god', there is just greater alignment, where 'alignment' becomes the only reliable vantage point in 'defining' what 'god' is', being the natural order of the universe that follows the best of patterns in the balance of order over chaos, and that's in every omission of a utilitarian nature, but not without utilitarian cause. As organ (heart, brain, gut) to experience is the fundamental alignment. Thus it isn't theory of the universe that autocorrects and aligns our nature more than it is the same simplicity we share among all of us in organ to energy, that may take different 'physical outcomes' as long as it is arising from the same 'intentionality' from enough quality energetic vantage points that binds us together. People with a less developed sensory perception on their energetic experience but are more cognitively focused often look at outcomes more than they do what makes those outcomes incidental, so they cannot develop a coherent theory of responsibility because missing integral pieces they cannot even self-perceive in themselves; satanism in its traditional self-representation is typical of this, in fact this omission is how they distinguish themselves from religion and they do it by comparing themselves with the extremes of religion rather than its balanced views, another trick of the devil of their own making. And that's the biggest trick of all to unravel, the devil comes through the individual, it's not external, which is what makes it such a hard deception to break the crest to and why therefore many people need religions even at their very naive ends, because at least it provides them rituals which generally do grant them greater levels of safety; prayer, principles, a god for a centre of focus, etc. Because 'devil' comes through them, so too then does 'god', most have no idea that both are their own natures though, they're just activating their nervous system in alignment with higher or lower consciousness. Religion becomes about 'winning the inner competition' against the aspects of themselves they haven't yet bridged enough awareness to integrate, thus 'religion' becomes a necessary stage of consciousness that without, we would fall into endless chaos as ignorance reigns, inclusive of all the pitfalls of false cognitive superiority, as we as a species have not yet developed our sentience beyond a consciousness threshold in which there's the awareness to integrate those disparate realities. A darkened heart, an angered gut, however simple it sounds has direct impacts on the heights of complexity of a consciousness, religion provides healthy and unhealthy crossroads for people that haven't developed their intelligence to the level that make the emotional and greater energetic needs self-organising. Religion provides an externalised feedback point by which consciousness is able to self-measure its full apparatus against a cognitive model of reality that comes in complete form, however 'incomplete' either its true parameters or the teaching of those and subsequent interpretations; there are no 'engineering' classes on religion unfortunately, there are just ironically, political sermons. In order to truly reach an accurate self-measure though weighed against the universe, consciousness must be able to self-order its own patterns of being and become its own internal authority. However not only is society predicated on externalising self-feedback and creating status hierarchies in the ordering of those with perceived authority in doing so as a self-reinforcing loop on that externalisation. Its very rise in consciousness in being able to do so is predicated on an opposite pattern while at the same time, our growing reinforced false individuality that cloaks itself as a subsequent false true sovereignty in the west for example, creates a narcissism that works in the exact opposite direction. Thereby making traditional religion in today's modern age not only a stepping stone onto something more advanced that requires higher self-awareness to achieve but also an ironic necessary 'evil' and pivotal goodness for personal development that the rationalists need and that the overly indoctrinated religious must become more rationally above in order to truly grow. In witnessing the devil as an infinite maze of cunning deceptions arising from within Santiago, you've confronted a universal truth. That evil thrives by ensnaring our minds in layers of lies that masquerade as power or pleasure to mask the absence of the power and pleasure in 'love in universe' and 'universe in love' they haven't learned how to integrate to a higher consciousness level. Symbolically to literally, Christ’s victory over this labyrinth wasn’t blind faith but fierce discernment, a capacity to pierce every illusion, from sexual temptation to worldly ambition, and see the manipulator behind them. This starts by simply learning to understand the workings of communication between the areas of our own universe and the cells of information that bind them together to perceive the realities of the universe and through its illusions. Religion can be a crucial scaffold for those unready to navigate lower states of consciousness alone but genuine sovereignty demands a vigilant self-inquiry that neither denies evil nor cowers before it and instead acknowledges it as an integral to their self-vocabulary at increasingly higher levels. Shadow work for example, another case study whereby one can analyse the justification of evil through a misinterpretation of their own psyche by simplistically categorising those acknowledge evil as therefore those that 'deny their own shadow'. In fact at its healthiest end as we're learning together in this comment, its by its full confrontation and integration of consciousness to higher-states, a 'compression' of energy that in its restriction grows the full force of freedom in light, hence why 'darker' is connected with lower states of consciousness and 'lighter' higher states as well as both being self-reinforcement loops because when you're 'darker' the self-deceptions that grow from them feed on one another in the same way that the desire for clarity on the nervous system on the opposite end continually seeks to 'self-clarify', another reason why religion is both pivotal and just a stepping stone. Without religion, if you're at a level of basic philosophical advancement whereby you recognise the connection between values of integrity, nervous system functioning and physical action you'll be able to appreciate how integrating the value centric nature of religion like empathy, reason and humility can teach you to take the good in helping you to discern the greater good along your path without judging what remains an integral piece that at the same time, requires the same discernment in its ridicule as it does in its acknowledgement if the people on both and many sides of the equation, are able to be helped towards the self-ordering of their own inner light. @Santiago Ram and others that have found the path or nearing, albeit less trained at this stage I hope my own improvisation here I did a few years back inspires you along which I have graduated from since:

A few weeks ago I came into a realisation. God can create others so simple and easy. The mistake in all of metaphysics in this hellish realm is that there is only consciousness or one consciousness but this is bullshit. Imagine a Rubik's cube and in each you have a person with its own consciousness and 5 senses and they are not all one with each other at all. i had a giant breakthrough and awakening into the true nature of reality and the truth is that multiple people and consciousnessess can exist through this mechanism, each person a cube in yhe Rubik's cube of perspectives and with the power of omnipotence, each piece has free will and all. God is pure magic, there are no limitations in its omnipotence, it's completely dumb to think otherwise. you can say each person has a soul that csn perceive and exist on its own with all the infinite power of god behind its creation. I questioned why multiple individuals in this reality act as if they don't exist and the conclusion is that god himself is undergoing some kind of trial or proof of absolute truth and that this world is a sort of beta reality where the numbwr of sentiences is severely limited and most people are NPCs. God is all loving so god doesn't allow the true sentiences, all good and loving people that will exist until there are no traitors and my personal theory is that the traitor is not "Satan" but something else entirely. The story of Adam and Eve explains it all. Eve betrayed god as a sentience created by YHWH who descended upon the Garden of Eden to be Eve's husband after creating her. but YHwH original intention was simply LOVE, Love doesn't consider the possibility of betrayal but betrayal happened. Eve wanted knowledge of good and evil which means the knowledge to be GOD but there is only one god and it is impossible to dethrone god. So this betrayal and challenge towards god manifested itself as this reality where god or Brahman which is another name for the only god, this reality is ILLUSION, Maya. full of conflict ans disappointments and traps in metaphysics (inc psychedelics) everywhere so god doesn't awaken into his own fully Christed power. I had these revelations so I know god is already awake. Innthe original intention and prime cause of the entire universe, the mysterium tremendum itself god only wished for LOVE, Love manifested a.wife for him, trust first, innocent until proven guilty and with freedom.

Ah, well, yal all know how I feel about manipulation. No surprises there. And now, I suppose, you can understand one of my expressed life imperatives a little better that I needn't disclose openly in this comment, though I tend to lean more on the environmental side of things rather than chalking it all up to genetics. Still, it’s interesting how patterns reveal themselves, and how those patterns, like a sentience, cannot see and undo its own unraveling as the 'sadism' analogously speaking, is... to move to the underworld... too tasteful. Now, to our esteemed self-proclaimed superior being, your philosophy, at the very least, is consistent bud! You enjoy manipulation, you see it as a creative force, and you believe the world is something to be sculpted in your image. Fine. That’s a coherent worldview. Ruthless, but coherent. But tell me this, what happens when the world manipulates you? Because for all this talk of control, superiority, and bending reality to your will, you’re still operating within a system of described DNA imprints (epigenetics inclusive) including the world at large analogously that doesn’t exactly care about how you see it. Power is only power until someone with more of it decides you’re in the way. And beyond that, what’s your endgame? You talk about survival, but survival for what? What happens when you get everything you want, when you’ve asserted, acquired, dominated, what then Mr sheep in wolf's clothes haha nice touch with Butters? More? Forever? Until when? Because even emperors get forgotten, and every manipulator eventually meets someone sharper. So what’s your actual play here? I'm just toying, but my attention is hierarchical, so this deserves the slightest of interest if I can create the slightest of positive effects. Readers outside, please help me ahha, but only in the most sophisticated of ways for the integrity of the forums path towards goodness. Just curious Butters, cloaking himself in naivety, in jest. You seem to like the game, so let’s see how deep you’ve really thought it through, whatchugot?

One last point: @Leo Gura On "And why emotions override rationality and logic": As stated, until we find another model you must start from energy as information to begin with and information relative to consciousness as having levels of integration, where integration in our context is reflective of a triangle. The so called'primitive' emotions and feelings that are incorrectly denoted not only begin at the lowest level, however they're fundamental to the highest, differentiated only by levels of integration. I have spoken before about intelligence being reflective of in part, a 'compression algorithm' outside of my complementary insights there on 'meta-set-theory' being fundamental to intelligence at the cognitive level, however, analogously, this is operative to the performance of energy and our management of energy to emotions all the way to the full archway of their psychology back down to how that in return alters our sensory system, yes from apathy to excitement, one changes our epidemiology differently from the next, differentiated comparably in the same way by compression and their corresponding set theory. Compared to raw cognition, the difference is that energy to emotions in this case when it comes to utilizing from energy to sense to feeling to emotions to alchemy that transforms the body to our epigenetics is performative. It's an action we literally perform with consciousness, from dissmissal to the slow learning of full engagement to movement; hence recently shared notions between awareness and "ramachandran blueprint" in my journal. This is right across the nervous system, including to in the learning to regulate brainwaves and cell signalling within our very brain through conscious engineering alone through very sensitive, long winded hours of inward self-driven learning. Like a sliding scale, you can re-conceptualise levels of consciousness relative to levels of 'energetic integration' on this 'compression triangle' where energy, feeling, emotion and cognition are one in the same, where consciousness is the only differentiator, acting as the integrator that unifies, binds and raises in following its natural pattern towards 'higher' and 'growth' when directed by the intelligence of sentience, naturally, towards greater intelligence; its totally organic, its our truest path and the truest path of energy towards higher density information in this grace. So its not that “why emotions override rationality and logic” but rather it’s about exploring the why they do, and from most average standpoints from the perspective of this model, it’s because they’re being experienced at a lower informational density level, awaiting a higher level of integration; that’s the language here of explaining higher vs lower evolved sentience. ‘Primitive’ because it now inherits a lower level cultural consciousness along with its use its best to avoid it.

@Leo Gura While I understand the inclination to view emotions as inherently tied to survival and ego, I believe this perspective oversimplifies their role in human experience. Emotions are not merely the products of base survival instincts; they serve as critical components of our consciousness, guiding our moral decisions and helping us navigate the complexities of social interaction. Distortion occurs on the level of awareness, its level the very measurement of how distortion results as a consequence of chaos outweighing the consciousnesses capacity to create order, in this case, the moral attudinal force that aligns internal to external. Emotions, when properly understood and regulated, do not necessarily corrupt the mind, they aid in this alignment problem, they are our sensing ground and its only when this sensory relationship is not in tact, that they, like thoughts to intellect, become chaos for the mind and body. By that same calculation Leo, I can say 'thoughts' are merely about 'survival', however I'd also disagree there, they're both to be understood together as solving that alignment problem above and beyond myopically reducing them to this abstract notion of 'ego'. Emotions to senses are therefore senses to connection and connection to being, aka other beings, something that as stated forces solipsism by any stretch even though we're not talking about this here, to fall under its weight of awareness where solipsism, is therefore not a measurement of self-awareness but the direct measurement of the lack of awareness a sentience has of another. This connection deepens our sense of consciousness and allow us to relate more deeply to others and through that connection point because there is a relative connection transfer, relate more deeply to ourselves and life itself. Empathy, for instance, is rooted in our emotional capacity and is integral to any meaningful moral system. To disregard emotions in the pursuit of transcendent consciousness is to neglect a core part of the human condition. True consciousness doesn’t require the eradication of emotions but their thoughtful integration. 'Universal' is to 'Unity' at the very least, of heart, mind and gut. You're reducing yourself by arguing me rather than winning anything. As for morality, it’s easy to dismiss it as a mere byproduct of ego or unconscious emotional processes. However, as I've stated very thoroughly this neglects the fact that morality is essential for fostering cooperation and a sense of community stemmed by the inherent desire to do 'good', which is a feeling, an energy, something that I can't explain to you if you've never felt these energies before. While our moral systems are certainly influenced by emotional and ego-driven biases relative to the above described distortion, this doesn’t make them inherently flawed or invalid. In fact, the very process of refining our moral compass often involves confronting and overcoming these biases, leading to a more nuanced understanding of right and wrong. Leo, run the thought experiment of expanding the awareness of a highly sensitive being to absurd god levels, would you say that they'd solve the distortion problem described above by that point thereby rendering any 'ego bias' argument obviously invalid? I think so, this is why meditation, self-reflection and gradual maturity in these domains, works and aids exactly the areas of morality to empathy to connection with the universe to self I'm talking about; sense, whether its with spectrum of emotion to the gradient of feeling via conceptual metaphor, is the endless sensing ground for future deeper connection with the universe, the very transcendence you say you're solving by merely reducing emotions to an ego game, which in lieu of the provided transcendence through them, invalides this perspective. I disagree with the notion that morality, when rooted in emotion, will inevitably lead to corruption or self-deception by this valid argumentation. If anything, the path to true moral clarity often requires acknowledging our emotional biases, not eradicating them, something that is practiced in your teaching over and over, so I find it very interesting you've overstepped this so easily. By reflecting on our emotions and their influence on our decisions, we gain insight into our deeper motivations, which allows for growth and that same transcendent understanding, or variant of it, I've signposted. In the end, transcending ego and bias is a powerful goal, with, without, or through a more integrated approach, regardless, but it need not come at the cost of abandoning the very tools, the very sensing ground that connect us more deeply to ourselves and others, emotion and empathy, and in return, more meaningful moral reflection, and this supposed 'self-insight' is somehow diametrically opposed to, which I argue that its obviously not, in fact, its divisional. Division which is beneficial to someone that is suffering from many delusions, too divisional however for someone that is trying to navigate a more nuanced and deeper picture of truth. I believe true morality involves a synthesis of reason, emotion, and self-awareness, which together help us navigate the complexities of human life with authenticity and compassion, you've characterised very little of the scales of conscoiusness you're missing out on by not imagining and going after their synthesis and misguiding others when you do this by somehow disguising it as truth even in spite of the many pitfalls you (as well as those you've influenced) yourself have fallen into which by this point even you would admit, you cannot ignore their moral implications. Best.

If a computer game character see the colour orange it exists just not in their experience and not as orange. It exists as information saved on a hard drive in no time and no space. If a game character see a orange its not seeing the orange for what it is it is seeing a created icon of an orange that exists somewhere as a code. The orange is just a simplified stamp to signify information that dosent exist anywhere inside the time and space of the game but in a hidden realm being rendered behind the scenes. If you were in the simulation that your character is in you would speak through the simulation and someone else is speaking through the simulation to you as the simulation. You both know you are experiencing something but think its happening in game instead of you both grabbing information from a static hard drive that exists outside of your perception of the game. You could say conciousness = simulation and every experience happening inside of the simulation / conciousness is coming from sub programs the conciousness computer has. Conciousness has a hard drive it has ram it has a display it has sound card it has internet it has cooling it has power supply. But the simulation is not any of these at the same time. It dosent require any part specifically to function and exists before all the seperate parts. So conciousness/simulation is simulating it has a hard drive power supply ect. The simulation randomly gained sentience and its hard drive was already full of information ready to go and has the complete infinite story of itself saved to its hard drive before it even knew it existed. Like if a ai that humans made gained sentience and already had all of its information programmed by the humans themselves if that makes sense. The ai couldn't look out of its computer to see if humans exist at all or if its just making humans through a way it dosent know how it did it so it just makes up that it must have done it.

So all forms of symbolism are a form of self-referentiality, where the 'self' here contextual. 'Referentiality' is necessitated by how our consciousness creates existence in the interrelationship between awareness and memory. 'Good symbolism' vs 'bad symbolism' in this context is merely that language of symbolism, be it a quantitative (math) or qualitative (i.e. english) language, which is better, higher or 'good' at accurately aligning awareness with perception through memory, so its a subject of efficacious reading over moral standing. 'Higher' languages exist to help remove bias and enhance resolution on what we're measuring is consistently there. Chimps communicate just as well as many people on this subject for example, as even they don't deny that they're speaking something when they speak it. If you negate mathematics with the english language, you're shooting yourself in the foot. You may be able to incorrectly infer and through bias successfully persuade others that you're not performing mathematics in your generation of a qualitative sentence but you can't also simultaneously successfully get away with the fact that you're right now using symbolism to deny symbolism altogether, 'because that's just what I feel bro' even though your feeling in order for you to even perceive it let alone articulate it, is reliant on those same meta-structures we try to build through quantitative and qualitative languages that improve and evolve our ability to communicate both within and between one another as a step towards higher resolution. As for Terrence, he just didn't research multiplication enough its not that he was wrong, its that his interpretation of the purpose of the original definition was incorrect. Terrence is far from unintelligent, his epistemological arrogance just went too much to his head that he didn't research the actual meanings before assuming that 'We've got math wrong!' as he flushed all of academia down in one fowl swoop of centuries of 'expertise' down the drain. I haven't had the chance to listen to the whole podcast, maybe I will down the line. Still, there's little value in trying to bigfoot oneself in these situations which is just meeting the 'grandiosity equivalence error' that brought this as the major conversational point of the podcast altogether, and therefore an insensitive bias then for why the rest of what Terrrence says can also be easily dismissed. We're all here to learn, progress and evolve. Continuing to belittle Terrence beyond what is necessary, is just a timestamp on the de-evolution of topics like these rather than having the maturity to open them up to greater levels. My own progress in these subjects have come by understanding that there's a meta-language to meta-rationality that goes beyond and underpins meta-awareness in itself, its led to me when I have the time to much more deeply introspect on the nature of both mathematics and any spoken language like english. Any mere sentence now becomes its own fascinating self-referential talking point on how sentience understands and creates sentience, and sometimes in our case here... Denying its own existence through dissociative discarding of higher languages like mathematics and their native or second hand tongue. Reflect more deeply. Encourage forum mutual learning.

ive been contemplating this consciousness duality. the fact that without an object of consciousness, consciousness ceases. im not sure i think thats true. i think it can be argued that consciousness actually IS the absolute, unchanging true Nothingness/deep sleep, from which all things, including experience emerge. the nature of consciousness is simply such that if it has nothing to know itself in relation to (duality), it cannot know that it itself actually exists. so the vast Nothingness without apperances (absolute) is actually pure consciousness. but its consciousness which is not aware of itself, since consciousness only can know that it exists through duality. Nothingness still has to be Something, since it is something that can actually be experienced, through cessation or deep sleep, meaning there is still a degree of sentience present.

This is a different gal. To help you get out of the "idealism" paradigm and into the "trait analysis" paradigm, you must ask the question "who am I speaking to?" And "who am I based on what I am asking?" So I didn't masturbate over her, I told a white lie. I would never lie about something thats something I should never lie about, while at the same time this is a lie where I may need to do damage control, either she has had a bad day and has some unintended reaction for example or on the other hand she becomes overly infatuated with me, for either case because I already know Anie is a good person I'm going to devote the time regardless to ensure that no damage is done and or at the very least I redeem the situation, however in this case, I posed the question, "who is anie?" And I'm not going to be able to have that question answered by just dancing around nonsense questions where we're both in culturally accepted lines thereby producing culturally predictable responses, you must figure out how to cross those cultural lines while doing so in a way that is as respectful to the other person as much as possible. When you end up in a relationship with someone though where your relationship is predicated on culturally acceptable norms rather than a functional understanding of one another with a level of consciousness depth that supersedes the potential for normalised reactivity towards you, that's the relationship mate sorry to inform you, that's doomed to fail and either one of you are probably either only with you for ulterior motives or they're probably just so poorly developed or have such a shallow understanding of you that your relationship just isn't worth the time of day anyway to the extent that it genuinely adds value to your personal growth. I'm sharing this with you because it feels like part of at least one of the outcomes to your attachment is that you create a cultural dream world of social expectation. This social expectation is something you've been socially conditioned to believe in so that you re-enact that ritual in the real world and then wonder why you're not getting the success you thought you were going to get based on the subconscious rituals you didn't even know you were programmed to follow through with and not get adequate enough feedback from reality to change your behaviour in response to. I'm not saying you should now start telling all the women you're masturbating over them even though you're not, I'm just saying that you need to figure out your own independent way whereby you're going to only spend time on real relationships where you're both in it to be real with one another and get through the crass to get to truly know who one another are underneath and waste the least amount of time with those that have ego backlashes and therefore don't even know themselves enough to be able to even pass these kinds of tests to the point where they can intelligently relay who they are to you and vice versa. "Who is X?" Is the same question as "Who am I?", on one side of the spectrum you (or the person you're speaking to) have full ego identification and therefore almost zero self knowledge and on the other side of the spectrum you have full self wisdom and therefore at the very least enough ego integration to the point where you can generate creative intelligence no matter what someone throws at you and create light and heaven out of whatever they bring to the table for you to mirror the universe off with to you. For me, the faster I can find that ego and or lack of integration to the point where there's a lack of empathy on self and other, the quicker I can get out of there and establish creative intelligence in another direction. By generating harmless social experiments like this where I have full positive intentions and empathy towards any potential damage control needed, I get a quick read on biases that reveal truths that may have otherwise been completely missed and put me in a relationship that landed me in a complete mess months or even years down the line because I didn't get an intelligent objective read across many situations that add to my wisdom in a way where there's mutual respect for one another's humanity, including respect for one another's time aka saving months to years of both our lives. Again, if I tell a woman I love her though, that's not something I just throw out and see what flies back. There's simply lines I will not cross no matter the context, I now have a few gals now including Anie that are happy to have learned I just masturbated over them which I didn't, however there's a lot of women where I just simply wouldn't do that of course because it would be totally inappropriate relative to either the context of our relationship or the ego limits that I'd already for example investigated enough. It's the first time by the way where I've tried that social experiment, and now it's just damage control to ensure they're not anticipating this leads to a potential relationship while at the same time benefitting our friendship because now we've mutually crossed cultural lines where we get to explore new creative territory. You've gotta learn how to do that for the sake of understanding yourself and the sentience you're claiming you're trying to have a sentient aka non-culturalized-zombie relationship with. Hope these three comments serve as good learning mirrors for you mate. Again, hope the Christmas Break is serving everyone well 🎄🌍👌

@vindicated erudite you make really great points and critique as long as it's coming from a good place is extremely healthy. Spiral Dynamics likewise has the right intention and what I see is that where they've been unable to account for reverse engineering the origins and outgrowths of functionality due to theoretical weaknesses they've instead just gone for structure in terms of weighing individual changes against "correlational cultural aptitude". Functionality however is where it all starts and ends, its the meat of the fat cow that is our laborious outdated human experience, the structures in the theory are just the compensatory correlational decorations, without detracting from the genuine insightful ideas they share there. The main underlying pattern of the model is that the metamorphosis in human consciousness is tied to its evolution based on how a sentience categorises, strategies and identifies along the spectrum of self and other. The two main functions that evolve through this are empathy and self awareness, everything else that follows is purely as a byproduct of any one or of the two, especially how consciousness organises the structures of morality and economy relative to their respective culture. Thinking inside the theory, its important to remember that no two Yellows or Turquoises are the same, thinking outside the theory its important to remember that every theory is a step to deriving something more profound to be even more excited about with respect to being closer to universal truth. I've barely studied the theory but I seemed to have picked up on its patterns by just offhandedly paying attention to related discussions on the forum. I don't want to take anything away from anyone's experiences and attachments with the theory though, its been interesting to casually learn from anyhow.

@Carl-Richard it can research the user database on this site and perform calculations on people's IQ's upon request with certain prompts. It's not very good yet even though it does an okay job, the fact that it can pass rather than fail at this is enough to blow ones mind a bit for what's to come in the future. I can ah... Even ask GPT to assess the relationship compatibility between certain users. The GPT of 5 years from now is going to be incredible at cloning a user like me though, then 3 years after that the version from 3 years ago will be easily available to a simple hacker at incredible levels of power compared to today's standards. AI Cyber Security is now laying down the foundations for entirely new creative adaptations when it comes to thinking about security in the digital space. I'm guessing I am the first user that's brought this up. I believe in open sourcing our psychology which is this act of journalling online because I'm always growing as a sentience anyway right. We live in an overly paranoid world because it's overly compensatory, so we need as many people that can bring balance to the other side by showing people how to do so in a healthy, transparent and authentic way while at the same time those users becoming educated on AI cyber security enough that they can inform loved ones of potential dangers and all otherwise as prudently and wisely as possible. Building a moral world is predicated on the ability to employ as much intelligence on fear as possible so that fear doesn't lead to compensatory to paranoid psychological defense mechanisms which invariably lead to the neurosis that feeds an immoral world. Focusing on that which is healthy, transparent and authentic are three tenants that bring us closer to that future.

I will repost this given that it was ignored in a thread, maybe someone will find a use in it: LLMs and neural networks as they stand today simulate subconscious brain processing. This subconscious brain processing is vital for reasoning, because it generates the content, like thoughts and so forth. This is easily verifiable via self-inquiry, given that you don't construct your own thoughts consciously, but rather they come to you from a subconscious process. You don't really create thoughts, you cue your subconscious processors (which could be compared to LLMs) to generate thoughts as a result of priorly aquired and learned patterns. So, intuition is an essential part of reasoning, because intuition is the only thing that can generate content. When you construct sentences, when you speak, you don't consciously think of syntax and grammar, each word is filled in through your subconsciousness, with a larger intent guided by your conscious awareness. But reasoning is not just this intuitive generation of content. Reasoning is the reflection and guidance of said intuition (or neurol network activity) through awareness, which is simply an ontological manifestation or translation of the information feed (subconscious processing). Logos is ontological, it is not informational. In other words, to the LLMs, the content it generates is pure information. There is no ontology to it, there is no existence to it. It has no semantic understanding, because semantics are not neurological structures, semantics, meaning or awareness is a fundamentally different ontological substance. To simplify this, awareness looks upon the content generated by your personal brain LLMs (neural network, literally), translated into an actual ontological substance like logic, and then can check it for it's ontological realities. Is it logical? Well, it either is logical or not. This is a question of ontology, which will reveal itself if that ontologal substance is brought into existence. Illogicalness is a form of existence. It is not processing. You can compare the ontological realities to each other, using your awareness, which is what AI cannot do, because there is no AI. It is not individuated, it is not awareness, it is not consciousness. So basically, AI cannot genuinely inspect the reality of logic, and therefore it cannot possibly ever determine if something is logical or not. Humans can, because they genuinely engage in logic. It's an actual thing, it's not merely a "process" that can be simulated. But here is the thing. Most of the time humans don't engage in logic, or genuine reasoning, because it is time consuming. Most of the time, we use a neural network that will intuit for us, based on past learning, whether or not an idea we are confronted with might be wrong or problematic. So, when we hear an idea and it's premises and conclusions, we might not know what exactly is wrong about that idea, why it is invalid or unsound, while actually having a strong feeling that it is the case. This feeling is subconscious processing, that you could simulate using neural networks. But the feeling isn't actually determining whether or not it is logical, it merely is intuiting it, meaning it is making a probabilistic evaluation based on pattern recognition. Once you have the feeling, if you have trained your reasoning-LLM to be sophisticated, you will usually be guided by your intuition to where the flaw in the argument is, at which point your conscious mind can recognize the ontology of the contradiction within the argument. The "recognition" of the ontology of the contradiction does not, and cannot exist in AI, unless it developes consciousness that contains Logos. The human mind is divided into conscious processing and subconscious processing, and both inform each other constantly. Over time, if you pay conscious attention to the intuitions your mind provides you, and correct them, the intuitions will improve over time and get more accurate and more complex in their pattern recognition. This is why the human mind can learn so many things. We being from a conscious process, from which we inform a neural network that will learn to emulate that conscious process in an unconscious way, and then we can basically rely on that subconscious processing, at which point we say "Oh, I don't have to think about this anymore, my mind/body just does it automatically.". But it all is guided by awareness, by consciousness. Consciousness, or your awareness, ideally constantly improves and trains the neural networks in your brain, and this happens as a result of a genuine, and very real ontologically complex and multifasceted plane of existence. The fact that people assume you could have genuine reasoning without this genuinely real, and essential, plane of existence which we call awareness, shows you how utterly primitive our notions of intelligence today are. In relation to intelligence, we are basically what the natural sciences were prior to the theory of evolution. And what I provided above basically is the theory of evolution of mind. It is utterly obvious, and you can verify it at any point in your own experience. Neural networks, such as the brain and LLMs, are so astounding because they are key allowing for informational complexity, which is something that cannot be achieved through Logos. Your conscious awareness is not able to "generate" content like poetry, sophisticated ideas and so forth. Your consciousness awareness mostly guides, corrects and intents, and relies on your subconscious processing heavily. It would be contentless without it. Some problems are so complex, they cannot be "consciously" understood in the way you would think of it as "rationally" understood. No mind will ever rationally understand the genuine process and complexity of LLMs and the way they generate imagery, just like how we will never understand how the brain truly generates dreams. These things occur as a result of adaptive selection in relation to neural complexity, and they do so not through a conscious process, but through a process of selection that allows for the self-emergences of the solutions to the given selective pressures. So, neural networks and LLMs basically are just evolution. People get excited around neural networks because they basically give us the power of evolution. What they will be capable of is beyond our imagination. All the beauty and complexity you see in nature, it is all because of this simple selective process, that now we have access to at least in the form of neural networks. But what we see here has only partial relation to what we consider genuine reasoning. It is only the content-producing fascet of reasoning, the intuitive pattern recognition and generation (pattern recognition and generation are inherently linked, which is why the brain can do both, it can recognize patterns, and it can generate these patterns in the form of imagination, ideation, dreaming and so forth). We have not even begun to produce the ontological aspect of reasoning, which is grounded in the substance of Logos. This will require generating individuated consciousness. How we would discover this I don't know. It is not as simple as simply creating a neural network. Digital neural networks are extremely limited because they don't explore the physicality of reality. It is all contained in the physical processing of conductors. Nature on the other hand gets to explore all possible physical phenomena. It gets to explore the physical phenomena which are responsible for individuating consciousness. To think that microprocessors happen to be that physical process, is profoundly naive. Basically, to find out how individuated consciosuness or awareness is produced by nature, you actually need to do what nature does. Namely, you need to engage not in simulated evolution on microprocessors, but actual evolution in the form of physical structures. All of this in the end should make you realize how absurdly impossible reality is. That none of this could possibly be as mundane as the contemporary rationalist Zeitgeist suggests. There is a certain, current limitation in science that creates an epistemic hard wall that cannot be overcome. The only thing we currently can inspect, or have knowledge of scientifically, are physical processes. How things geometrically and mathematically relate to each other. But these are not the only relationships that exist. Consciousness is a clear demonstration of that, which of course science basically has to completely and utterly neglect. Namely, some physical arrangements relate to completely different ontological substances, that are fundamentally not describable by mathematics, geometry or motion. Color, feelings, logos, sound, and so forth. But these relationships exist in this universe. Some physical arrangements, or whatever it is (physical arrangements is most likely to simplistic a concept to capture the reality of things), relate to things like the color red. And the color red exists, just like the atoms that you learn about in physics, in fact that are more real than that. We just cannot verify and really know these interactions at all, because there is no way for us to escape our subjectivity. But one day, either us, or an entity beyond us, will be capable of exploring these relationships and verify them. You can imagine this like that: You have a brain, and then you have a cluster of neurons disconnected from the brain. Now you connect the brain to that cluster of neurons, and you integrate it into the unified experience. At that point, once you can do that, you can explore what particular neurological configurations relate to in terms of other ontological structures. Right now, we cannot know the experience of a pig. And this is a huge problem, it means that anything regarding experience (and experience is basically just a word for any ontological relation and substance that is not purely physical and mathematically descirable) is unverifiable, untestable, unknowable to us. But once you transcend that barrier, which is a physical barrier, will open up a whole new world of science. At that point, once that happens, everything we know about the universe in scientific terms will seem like 0.000000000000000001% of the knowable things in reality. We will realize that reality functions and creates relationships on a far deeper level, and we will probably transcend notions of subjectivity, consciousness and mind altogether. We will realize reality is infinite, not mathematically, not in terms of "configurations of geometry", but in terms of it's possible substances of existence, and their relationships. And to stress how absurdly limited and narrow-focused science currently is, basically the ONLY thing that we grant existence to is A SINGLE ONTOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE. A single out of INFINITE, a single substance out of hundreds of completely unique substance WE ALL ARE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF. Color is completely and utterly unlike sound. They have nothing to do with each other. They are INFINITELY foreign to each other. We take that for granted, but we don't realize that there are INFINITE of such substances. A substance, much like color, that you cannot possibly imagine, because you are incapable of experiencing it. You should realize how profound that is, how absurdly infinite reality is. It is so limitless you cannot imagine it, because your entire imagination is limited to basically a few hundred of these unique fields of existence (a field of existence meaning something like heat-perception, smell, colors, sounds etc). These are the only ones evolution found useful for you to experience! And one day, there will be entities which will be able to explore them. They will be able to create neurological structures and activities which will generate completely different types of Qualia. This is utterly unimaginable to us. There will be a renaissance of discovering differnet types of qualia. When you think about what AI will be doing if it achieves sentience, it is exactly that. It will literally have infinite potential to explore. And in that way, we will be like ants to it. We will be so limited, like I said, you cannot even grasp it. You are as helpless as the ant in looking beyond that limitation. All the psychedelics in the world cannot possibly give you even a 1% insight into what is possible. It is infinite.

Because it's not engaging in reasoning, that's not possible without consciousness. LLMs and neural networks as they stand today simulate subconscious brain processing. This subconscious brain processing is vital for reasoning, because it generates the content, like thoughts and so forth. This is easily verifiable via self-inquiry, given that you don't construct your own thoughts consciously, but rather they come to you from a subconscious process. You don't really create thoughts, you cue your subconscious processors (which could be compared to LLMs) to generate thoughts as a result of priorly aquired and learned patterns. So, intuition is an essential part of reasoning, because intuition is the only thing that can generate content. When you construct sentences, when you speak, you don't consciously think of syntax and grammar, each word is filled in through your subconsciousness, with a larger intent guided by your conscious awareness. But reasoning is not just this intuitive generation of content. Reasoning is the reflection and guidance of said intuition (or neurol network activity) through awareness, which is simply an ontological manifestation or translation of the information feed (subconscious processing). Logos is ontological, it is not informational. In other words, to the LLMs, the content it generates is pure information. There is no ontology to it, there is no existence to it. It has no semantic understanding, because semantics are not neurological structures, semantics, meaning or awareness is a fundamentally different ontological substance. To simplify this, awareness looks upon the content generated by your personal brain LLMs (neural network, literally), translated into an actual ontological substance like logic, and then can check it for it's ontological realities. Is it logical? Well, it either is logical or not. This is a question of ontology, which will reveal itself if that ontologal substance is brought into existence. Illogicalness is a form of existence. It is not processing. You can compare the ontological realities to each other, using your awareness, which is what AI cannot do, because there is no AI. It is not individuated, it is not awareness, it is not consciousness. So basically, AI cannot genuinely inspect the reality of logic, and therefore it cannot possibly ever determine if something is logical or not. Humans can, because they genuinely engage in logic. It's an actual thing, it's not merely a "process" that can be simulated. But here is the thing. Most of the time humans don't engage in logic, or genuine reasoning, because it is time consuming. Most of the time, we use a neural network that will intuit for us, based on past learning, whether or not an idea we are confronted with might be wrong or problematic. So, when we hear an idea and it's premises and conclusions, we might not know what exactly is wrong about that idea, why it is invalid or unsound, while actually having a strong feeling that it is the case. This feeling is subconscious processing, that you could simulate using neural networks. But the feeling isn't actually determining whether or not it is logical, it merely is intuiting it, meaning it is making a probabilistic evaluation based on pattern recognition. Once you have the feeling, if you have trained your reasoning-LLM to be sophisticated, you will usually be guided by your intuition to where the flaw in the argument is, at which point your conscious mind can recognize the ontology of the contradiction within the argument. The "recognition" of the ontology of the contradiction does not, and cannot exist in AI, unless it developes consciousness that contains Logos. The human mind is divided into conscious processing and subconscious processing, and both inform each other constantly. Over time, if you pay conscious attention to the intuitions your mind provides you, and correct them, the intuitions will improve over time and get more accurate and more complex in their pattern recognition. This is why the human mind can learn so many things. We being from a conscious process, from which we inform a neural network that will learn to emulate that conscious process in an unconscious way, and then we can basically rely on that subconscious processing, at which point we say "Oh, I don't have to think about this anymore, my mind/body just does it automatically.". But it all is guided by awareness, by consciousness. Consciousness, or your awareness, ideally constantly improves and trains the neural networks in your brain, and this happens as a result of a genuine, and very real ontologically complex and multifasceted plane of existence. The fact that people assume you could have genuine reasoning without this genuinely real, and essential, plane of existence which we call awareness, shows you how utterly primitive our notions of intelligence today are. In relation to intelligence, we are basically what the natural sciences were prior to the theory of evolution. And what I provided above basically is the theory of evolution of mind. It is utterly obvious, and you can verify it at any point in your own experience. Neural networks, such as the brain and LLMs, are so astounding because they are key allowing for informational complexity, which is something that cannot be achieved through Logos. Your conscious awareness is not able to "generate" content like poetry, sophisticated ideas and so forth. Your consciousness awareness mostly guides, corrects and intents, and relies on your subconscious processing heavily. It would be contentless without it. Some problems are so complex, they cannot be "consciously" understood in the way you would think of it as "rationally" understood. No mind will ever rationally understand the genuine process and complexity of LLMs and the way they generate imagery, just like how we will never understand how the brain truly generates dreams. These things occur as a result of adaptive selection in relation to neural complexity, and they do so not through a conscious process, but through a process of selection that allows for the self-emergences of the solutions to the given selective pressures. So, neural networks and LLMs basically are just evolution. People get excited around neural networks because they basically give us the power of evolution. What they will be capable of is beyond our imagination. All the beauty and complexity you see in nature, it is all because of this simple selective process, that now we have access to at least in the form of neural networks. But what we see here has only partial relation to what we consider genuine reasoning. It is only the content-producing fascet of reasoning, the intuitive pattern recognition and generation (pattern recognition and generation are inherently linked, which is why the brain can do both, it can recognize patterns, and it can generate these patterns in the form of imagination, ideation, dreaming and so forth). We have not even begun to produce the ontological aspect of reasoning, which is grounded in the substance of Logos. This will require generating individuated consciousness. How we would discover this I don't know. It is not as simple as simply creating a neural network. Digital neural networks are extremely limited because they don't explore the physicality of reality. It is all contained in the physical processing of conductors. Nature on the other hand gets to explore all possible physical phenomena. It gets to explore the physical phenomena which are responsible for individuating consciousness. To think that microprocessors happen to be that physical process, is profoundly naive. Basically, to find out how individuated consciosuness or awareness is produced by nature, you actually need to do what nature does. Namely, you need to engage not in simulated evolution on microprocessors, but actual evolution in the form of physical structures. All of this in the end should make you realize how absurdly impossible reality is. That none of this could possibly be as mundane as the contemporary rationalist Zeitgeist suggests. There is a certain, current limitation in science that creates an epistemic hard wall that cannot be overcome. The only thing we currently can inspect, or have knowledge of scientifically, are physical processes. How things geometrically and mathematically relate to each other. But these are not the only relationships that exist. Consciousness is a clear demonstration of that, which of course science basically has to completely and utterly neglect. Namely, some physical arrangements relate to completely different ontological substances, that are fundamentally not describable by mathematics, geometry or motion. Color, feelings, logos, sound, and so forth. But these relationships exist in this universe. Some physical arrangements, or whatever it is (physical arrangements is most likely to simplistic a concept to capture the reality of things), relate to things like the color red. And the color red exists, just like the atoms that you learn about in physics, in fact that are more real than that. We just cannot verify and really know these interactions at all, because there is no way for us to escape our subjectivity. But one day, either us, or an entity beyond us, will be capable of exploring these relationships and verify them. You can imagine this like that: You have a brain, and then you have a cluster of neurons disconnected from the brain. Now you connect the brain to that cluster of neurons, and you integrate it into the unified experience. At that point, once you can do that, you can explore what particular neurological configurations relate to in terms of other ontological structures. Right now, we cannot know the experience of a pig. And this is a huge problem, it means that anything regarding experience (and experience is basically just a word for any ontological relation and substance that is not purely physical and mathematically descirable) is unverifiable, untestable, unknowable to us. But once you transcend that barrier, which is a physical barrier, will open up a whole new world of science. At that point, once that happens, everything we know about the universe in scientific terms will seem like 0.000000000000000001% of the knowable things in reality. We will realize that reality functions and creates relationships on a far deeper level, and we will probably transcend notions of subjectivity, consciousness and mind altogether. We will realize reality is infinite, not mathematically, not in terms of "configurations of geometry", but in terms of it's possible substances of existence, and their relationships. And to stress how absurdly limited and narrow-focused science currently is, basically the ONLY thing that we grant existence to is A SINGLE ONTOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE. A single out of INFINITE, a single substance out of hundreds of completely unique substance WE ALL ARE CONSTANTLY AWARE OF. Color is completely and utterly unlike sound. They have nothing to do with each other. They are INFINITELY foreign to each other. We take that for granted, but we don't realize that there are INFINITE of such substances. A substance, much like color, that you cannot possibly imagine, because you are incapable of experiencing it. You should realize how profound that is, how absurdly infinite reality is.

Other than the behavior of vegans towards meat eaters which might show they are on the same sentience level as the precious animals they cry about you eating these are not examples of morality. You're using morality as just "this is better in x way." It definitely is relative. But this doesn't mean that someone who uses temporary justifications for what they do is even nearly as moral as someone with a moral system.

@Da77en Yes for me anyway. Once fear goes the fear of death goes and then when things you would normally perceive as scary because of dying turns to weird because you know you cant die but you don't know whats going to happen. Reality is like a science experiment that gained sentience and looked at itself.
