It is that but also beyond that. Being is logical.

Sure, but we're talking about self-reflection and becoming conscious of more than just being an animal. An animal does not grasp Truth, even though it exists as it. A human in a vegetative state is not our goal here. Do not confuse vegetative animal state for Awakening or serious Consciousness. Animals are zombies.

Or is it?

He's a master at that kind of political correctness.

Just search the internet for whatever you're trying to find.

I don't recommend aiming for a psychotic break. You should just aim for higher mystical states, some of them will be so high they will go beyond sanity, but it will not be a dysfunctional psychotic break. There are states of consciousness which are negative harmful psychotic breaks and insanity, and then there is a positive kind of insanity, which is like trans-sanity, but it's not something negative. If demons are telling you to kill people, that's like negative insanity. But there are positive or neutral forms of insanity. Obviously you need to avoid the negative ones.

It depends. These are definitions we create to suit our needs. There are far-fetched versions of mysticism which are more about exploring the insane realms of consciousness rather than pure Awakening. That's mostly what I mean in the context of this thread. Sure, but you also dream a lot of other random weird stuff too. My psychedelic scarves are not silk.

Usually not. Insanity would be more radical and troublesome. If you had a proper psychotic break and call that dark night then maybe. That dark night label could be attached to many different states of consciousness, so be careful assuming people apply it to the same state.

Those thought-experiments assume a lot of wrong materialist ontology and limited notions of identity. Sameness and difference is a matter of imagination, not rigid givens. What makes experience "you" is that it's always happening inside you. Any experience that's happening is you by definition. If tomorrow God dreamed that you are kangaroo, that would be you too, just a new form of you. So in this sense YOU are always the same YOU. YOU is an Absolute. That's what mystics do. That's the whole point of mystical practices and trainings. Silk. I don't want everyone copying me so I won't share that for now. Everything is a mystical experience. You need to throw out this bad frame that some things are mystical and some are not.

Not really. Object permanence is a kind of illusion which happens from highly coherent dreaming. Think of a video game. Every time you turn it on, a coherent world appears. If you turn it off it disappears. Then it appears again when you turn it back on. The game world is not really permanent, but it appears consistently when you turn it on/off. That's what's happening. Or, rather, God is even imagining that lapses in consciousness happened to you. If God did not imagine your past, there would be no lapses in consciousness. So even lapses in consciousness are imaginary. It's the same version if God imagines it's continuous. God is in control of what sameness means. Sameness is a matter of perspective. It's worth exploring to understand how Consciousness works. But it's also dangerous. So there's a trade-off to exploration. You might sail off the edge of the Earth. Depends on what level you want to look at it from. You could say a broken brain creates demons. But in a deeper sense a "broken brain" is just a way of saying that God is dreaming reality in a looser way. It's unclear how far you can push the dream. This depends on things like genetic talents, your skill, your training, your intelligence, your level of consciousness, etc. Well, theoretically highly spiritually advanced mystics are able to have some siddhis. How far this goes is unclear to me.

Trump's system is: kiss my ass or fuck off.

Because the government is like the Titanic. It takes a long time to turn it around. Trump and his friends are like a pack of hyenas hunting a sick tired elephant.

Buttigieg would make a good Spiral Wizard type.

@Flowerfaeiry What about animals? Do you hear their energy? Do some people just not have any energy? If so, why do some have it and others don't?

Because nothing has permanent existence without God holding the object steady in its Mind. Imagine a space kangaroo in your mind right now. Notice, as soon as you stop holding it steady, it warps and or disappears. For there to be a permanent coherent space kangaroo you would need to hold it perfectly steady in your mind. Which shows you how weak your mind is because you cannot do it for more than a few seconds, never mind 80 years. There's no such thing as a brain. You are assuming a permanent object which exists outside of Mind. There are no such objects. Even if I were to grant your brain, that brain would need to be held in God's Mind with perfect precision and coherence. Even a one second lapse in Consciousness would break your brain and leave you crippled. Mind is always an active, alive process. Just observe how your mind flows around every second. Humanity does not understand what insanity is so they usually use that word incorrectly. I mostly mean radical levels of insanity. Because you as a mind are terrified of insanity. When your consciousness expands you don't need to worry about cells functioning properly too much because you'll be too worried about the oncoming insanity. Your human self does not have enough power to imagine a real demon. But God's Mind does. So it's not up you. Just like it's not up to you to imagine that the moon is made of cheese. But God could. Consciousness/Mind is an inherently dreamy, fluid thing. Unless it is deliberately stabilized into a rigid form, it will weave around and dream up all sorts of random stuff like demons, etc. God protects your mind from demons by dreaming your life in a very rigid way. If God dreamed your life in a more loose way, you would be schizophrenic, with demons whispering inside your head. If God was not maintaining your sanity you would be psychotic. There are many such people in mental hospitals around the world. You just take it for granted. Hell, we've got psychotic folk lurking around this forum. Some of them probably imagine I'm a demon.

I have many old blog posts with good UFO documentaries: https://www.actualized.org/insights/new-york-post-ufo-series https://www.actualized.org/insights/yes-ufos-are-a-thing

No one would tell those fools anything. Such intel is only Need To Know and highly compartmentalized. The only people who need to know are ones working on the issue day to day.

@Dazgwny Yup. I feel ya.

Hundreds have said so. It's been a leaked and open secret for 80 years. It's so not a secret any more precisely because secrets leak.

That's what all the evidence points to. I am merely looking at the preponderance of evidence and weighing it logically. This is in alignment with rationality and scientific method. I never said that. I have no expectations of it being made public. The people hoping for disclosure are foolish. Disclosure will be withheld as long as possible. The notion that some congressional public hearing will lead to disclosure is naive and I never expected anything from those hearings. UFO people create a lot of hype for every piece of UFO news. I do not.

No, I don't want to direct film. Too much work.

Such gaslighting nonsense. Trump's detractors use basic intelligence to see that Trump is a miserable, dangerous pervert.

Don't mis-state what I said. I never spoke of any aliens revealing themselves to you.

Tis the season for a bit of treason.
