All stuff against Physicalism

[Uddi]

Physicalism assumes that reality is a machine (a very complicated one) and believes that everything including subjective experience can be reduced to mere physical and mechanical processes/interactions. We are having growing evidence that this fails as a fundamental and ontological framework.

 

1. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem - No formal system can capture the absolute

2. Hempel's Dilemma - The word "physical" cannot properly define itself without it contradicting itself

3. The Hard Problem of Consciousness

4. The John Von Neumann chain in quantum mechanics

5. Psychedelic studies showing that less brain activity causes a greater experience (Proof brain is a reducing valve rather than a creator of consciousness)

6. The 2022 Nobel Prize proving that the universe is not locally real

7. The work of Essentia Foundation started by Dr. Bernardo Kastrup

8. Syntax to Semantics Gap

9. Formula to Is Gap

 

Would like to know your guys's thoughts on this.

A deep trip is self-evident. I no longer identify as a human at that point. Freaky stuff. The visuals don’t even need to change, just my relationship to experience drastically shifts; I become conscious of what God/Selflessness is.

Also, there is phenomena that can not be explained by science that I experience daily. I can’t even put it into words or formalize it. It’s like my own private understanding, which sucks cus I love sharing with others.

My deepest realizations are all Alone

@Yimpa True because you have encountered the ineffable which means it can never be reduced to descriptions or even have descriptions properly point to it.

Your signature is a nice pointer

@Yimpa Thx! Btw what made you send that link to a specific blog post from Leo? Does it have something to do with what my signature is pointing to?

Thank you for asking for clarification!

Initially, no. But now I’m starting to intuit a connection. 

I wish I could articulate it with words, but words are failing me. I intuit the connection but I cannot formalize it. Sorry to disappoint 😅

Edit: It’s as if my mind is becoming more fluid and less rigid.

What process or techniques have you used along the path to reaching these levels of awakening? E.g., meditation, self-inquiry, etc. Could you please provide a comprehensive list?

• I’ve been following this Actualized stuff since 2014 
   
• 💯s of trips (started in 2018). Seriously, this is the highest teacher, no pun intended.
   
•  going thru the dark knight of the soul MANY times
   
•  therapy. shit load of that (since I was a kid. been disabled my whole life)
   
• caring about Truth/Love/God and making that my top value

I still struggle greatly with survival, I definitely suck on that front. Thankfully, I had huge gains starting around 2023 (you can read about that here if you’re curious). Despite the survival challenges, I would consider myself spiritually gifted. So genetics play a huge role, too. It truly is a gift and a curse for me! I am ruff around the edges 🐶

@Yimpa thanks, very insightful!

How do you structure or prepare for your trips, usually? And, what types of psychedelics do you think were most significant for your awakenings for/breakthroughs?

Cheers for achieving those gains 💪
