I opened the blog posts after a while and saw this post which was pure gold . Thanks @Leo Gura.

Aubrey Marcus x John Demartini talk is indeed a very interesting talk on relativity. At one point Aubrey wanted to end the conversation because Demartini said that there were upsides to the murder of kids. Funny thing is that he was the one there helping the families whereas Aubrey is just programmed with good and bad.

A recent video from Ralston complements this quote nicely.

Quote #584 simply sublime

[Joseph Maynor]

I feel like this all wrong because instead of meeting people, the premise here is that the Internet somehow could solve a problem it's not capable of solving.  Because we don't know who we're dealing with.  

[Joseph Maynor]

People want to say there is no good or evil but then you have to look at that person and see who they're benefitting from that.  It's a sick game.  You're better off working a regular job than engaging in this.

But Leo,

What about the past?

It doesnt seem like I am imagining it right now. It seems like that is how I've gotten to this moment at all. Is seeming too also occurring as Imagination in this precise moment?

You are imagining the past right now.

There is no past otherwise.

Infinity has no past. It has to invent it.

I can always point to something of a memory in this present moment which gives the appearance of a 'coming from' some 'place' or 'time' other than where exactly I always sit, here & now.

That is, I can do so from the ordinary state of human consciousness. Upon entering some other 'expanded' state the ability can be seen through for what it exactly is: Imagination.

Certain states, of radical tangentiality, the ability of memory may completely cease. Upon this, consciousness reveals itself to be always fully immersed in immediate presence.

Is this correct interpretation?

@No1Here2c Infinite Consciousness needs to imagine a finite human life in order for you to feel like a human inside a world. This involves inventing a stream of very realistic memories of your origin. These memories create the foundation for a sense of human self. Without these memories you literally would not be human. You have to believe your memories are real, otherwise you would no longer be a self.

You invented the very notion of "a memory".

But what is a memory? How can it even exist? You never questioned this. You just took for granted that memories are a thing.

Memory seems to be the ability to call to mind the vague imprint of an experience. Attach to that a narrative of relative cohesion, tying it somehow Into the present display of content and you have a working system to induce the sense of a past in this current immediate present.

It seems any clarity I can find slips away as the rest of things. I can imagine that means what I thought I had possessed as clarity was in fact not truly it, but rather another passing experience within the content of imagination?

What really intrigues me is why memory and imagination is so consistent...

[vibv]

Because this whole thing has STRUCTURE. Structure that's being held up by Divine Will, but Structure which you can't easily escape. God wants it so.

God has placed itself into a Divine Labyrinth. This thing has LAYERS.

And God itself doesn't know how it could be solved, that's what makes this so exciting  ✨

Well, it's not. People misremember things all the time.

And your memory is always colored by your current mood and situation.

Consistency is an illusion.
