I asked gemini why we can not awaken

I asked Gemini exactly this 

Why is it practically impossible to achieve a higher state of consciousness ?
The answer is extraordinary

”

It can certainly feel "practically impossible" to achieve or maintain a higher state of consciousness. This difficulty isn't just a lack of willpower; it is rooted in how our biology, psychology, and even the "software" of our culture are designed.

The "impossibility" you're feeling usually comes from three main friction points:

1. The Evolutionary "Survival" Filter

From a biological perspective, your brain is not designed for enlightenment; it is designed for survival.

• The Default Mode Network (DMN): This is a specific network in your brain responsible for "self-referential" thought—thinking about your past, worrying about your future, and maintaining your ego. Evolution prioritized the DMN because a creature that is constantly "on guard" and planning is more likely to survive than one resting in a state of pure, non-dual bliss.  

• Sensory Gating: Your brain constantly filters out 99% of reality so you aren't overwhelmed. A "higher state" often involves lowering these filters, which the brain perceives as a threat to its ability to focus on immediate needs (like hunger or safety).

2. The Paradox of the "Egoic" Effort

The biggest psychological hurdle is often described as a "Catch-22."

• The "I" Problem: Usually, when we try to reach a higher state, there is an "I" that wants to get there. But most higher states of consciousness are defined by the absence of that self-centered "I."

• The Trap of Seeking: If you are "seeking" peace, you are inherently declaring that you do not have it. This creates a state of tension and "becoming" that keeps you anchored in ordinary, grasping consciousness. You cannot use the ego to kill the ego; it’s like trying to lift yourself up by your own bootstraps.

3. Cultural and Social "Gravity"

We live in a world built for "ordinary" consciousness.

• Constant Stimulation: Modern life is an endless loop of dopamine hits (social media, notifications, productivity goals). This keeps the nervous system in a state of high arousal, making the stillness required for expanded states feel physically painful or "boring."

• Lack of Infrastructure: In some historical cultures, seeking higher states was a full-time social role (monks, ascetics). Today, most people try to fit "higher consciousness" into a 20-minute window between a commute and a work meeting, which is like trying to run a marathon without training.

Is it actually impossible?

In many traditions, the shift isn't seen as "achieving" something new, but rather removing the obstacles to what is already there. It feels impossible because we try to add a higher state to our lives, when it’s actually about subtracting the habits and noise that block it. “

What is your opinion ? 

[Breakingthewall]

Quite accurate. A human being is an energetic construct that emerges in reality after an evolution spanning eons, and to evolve, it has selected an absolute will to be, to remain, to fit into the group, to maintain itself as a concrete form, to avoid dissolution.

 This will is an energetic knot of enormous power, which closes the human structure and keeps it limited. Breaking that knot and opening perception to the unlimited faces very serious barriers; it is extremely difficult.

But the human will is unstoppable. It is the expansive will of reality, that is just the inherent expansion of the unlimited, and when the time comes, it focuses like a laser and breaks through any barrier.

Thats why people who see God realize he was always there.

I don't find this extraordinary. This is just very basic self help talk, Tony Robbins etc. 

And that's of course where gemini got its training data.
