hahahahahahahahahahaha the ban hammer. Classic! Several people on this forum just make new accounts. Guess there's an infinite amount of accounts to ban. The beauty of infinity strikes us again.

Hey guys. For the last 3 years, I have been developing myself to be a world class expert in artificial intelligence. My plan was to be a leading AI researcher at my company. I was aiming for this because research is the sort of thing I like doing. I find the brain and existential intelligence absolutely fascinating, and I love expanding my perspective, changing paradigms, etc. So research + AI seemed like the most thrilling thing I could have done. I have been working extremely hard to actualize this vision. I've made a company that is an AI startup and its almost about to get revenue. I've worked part time while doing this at a highly advanced AI company. I've done lots of research in AI, I've developed my own algorithms which has given both my company and other companies heaps of money. I quit university because I knew that without the dogma of university I could produce products and technology that are much higher yield, this was very hard to do because my parents disapproved of it, but through pretending to be better than I am to other companies, through doing work that is demonstrably high yield, through doing a lot of online courses and critical thinking, developed myself to be a scientist without formal university training. But at the same time, the thing that's most important to me is doing something I love, rather something that will make me successful. So I had a recent experience, long story short its changed my entire view of reality dramatically. My admiration and curiosity for AI has just completely dropped. My desire to be a world class AI expert has also completely dropped. I thought I would wait a few days to see if this was just a phase I was going through - its not going away and I cannot see it ever coming back. Its like believing in the bible after you have been indoctrinated by atheism. My passion now lies in something else: planetary sciences, ecology, environment and astronomy(I've always had an interest in these things, they were just secondary). I have a very strong desire to discover the origins of life. My desire for success has just completely dropped. I now want to try DMT and just have experiences that show me where 'home' is. Its all because of this new perspective I have, it just completely makes sense to do this, and now my previous goals just seem totally stupid and low yield/waste of time. I cannot get rid of this new perspective, and even if I could I don't want to. I don't know how to go about this. Has this happened to you? If so could you please describe your experience? The point of this post is just to get some perspective of how experiences like these work, and what to do about them.

Hi Mihajlo Tovivic, if this is a valuable resource, we could start a thread where we all post valuable material for this specific life purpose. Lets make a renaissance 2.0 together! Here are several books which have helped me get a grasp of my life purpose: 1. The structures of Scientific revolutions 2. Einstein's biography 3. Monadology 4. Rupert Sheldrake's book on science 5. Douglas Hofstadler's book on Godel6. This book on chaos theory 7. Max Plank's biography 8. Newton's biography: his works on alchemy and God are particularly useful insights. 9. This book on how to be a good scientist. 10. this book gave me a great foundation for how authentic science should be done I've still yet to read books on quantum mechanics. I've also read and applied several shaman books, astral projection books, etc. And I've taken several online courses specifically on mathematics and science to develop that area Also politics are valuable to master as the biggest challenge with becoming a scientist is changing the beliefs of the scientific community.

like integrating AI with ecology? Did you experience the same thing? If so how did you go about it? What was the outcome?

I'm not going to debate about this as its pointless, but if you have read most of my threads(where I'm the one who started the thread) you will see I rarely reply back to comments given in those threads. This is because I read, take notes, and then move on(not because I ignore them, I actually take note and am greatful for the replies). If you look at the first question I posted on this thread, Leo and you both gave me answers to it. I didn't argue further on it, I just accepted it. You didn't notice that didn't ya? If I am arguing, I'm arguing on a completely different question. Furthermore I'm not arguing with him, I'm inquiring an answer from him about something that is deeply important to my personal situation. I'm not just going to accept and move on if I feel I didn't get enough from his original answer.

yep agree on that, but why would the public? The majority of the public are also heavily into christianity or atheist, and changing their opinions are just as hard as changing graduates at uni. On top of that, the public is not obliged on giving you money. People will only give you money if you help them with their orange stage problems. At a university though they can get away with doing stuff that doesn't lead directly to getting money off people, because its sort of a cultural thing for universities to just get money for the sake of it. So at a university, you don't need to worry about getting money off people, just convincing professors. I don't know, the latter just seems easier. yes but the goal isn't about becoming popular. The goal is getting money to live off through making content that you enjoy. There might be a professor out there that is known by 10 people, but if a university is paying him 200k a year, his popularity doesnt matter. theRadBrad might be known by 1000000 people, but does that mean that 1 million people pay for his content? Not necessarily. Yes theRadBrad is more popular than Leo, precisely because he is lower conscious than Leo. The more conscious you are, the harder it is to get popular.

the purpose of language in spirituality: 1. to provide a map, to organize the memories of your spiritual experiences so that you know where you're at and where you need to go 2. To arouse spiritual experiences, but not communicate them. Provide a basis to contemplate on.

Why didn't you increase your popularity through making research papers about philosophy and then slowly etching your way to non dual idealist papers. Wouldn't that have been a lot easier to do, rather than make a YouTube channel and get random people on the internet liking your lectures? The univesity system basicallu hands you a path, and you chose to create an entirely new path.

Hi Myegolikestacos could you please tell me what that other video was, and what I wrote to make you think that? muito gracias amigo

yeah that seems to be the trend I've noticed. The more powerful the drug and the less time it lasts, the less you remember. Shrooms and LSD may be better.

but is a psychedelic trip enough time to embody an insight?

This is really profound, these gets to the root of knowing what a realization is, how realizations work, what they are made of, how god creates realizations, etc.

ooooooooo nice one! in the present moment, literally, like everything outside the present moment doesn't exist, where are these people? Imagine your eyeball is a computer screen. So all of reality is a computer screen. Imagine that these other people are behind the computer screen(not somewhere in the globe). Imagine that these other people are merged into the computer screen, you just can't see them because they are hehind the computer screen. Imagine the computer screen is all there is. are these other people really not apart of you?

cofounder of a company that makes healthcare robots. I do mathematics and research and development. I'm currently trying to steer my career towards being a leading scientist. My dream is to make physics and mathematical theorems and concepts describing the nature of the work of shamans, yogis and paranormal phenomena. I'm getting there slowly. I've managed to merge spirituality and my career into one thing, which is great because I've centered my entire life and survival around spiritual insights.

nope, confusingly contemplated on what Leo wrote until it hit.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit I just realized the mistake/misunderstanding I was making all along. there really is nothing outside of you!!!!!! shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit 3D space doesn't exist, God is improvising the entire thing up. There is no walking to your house or car. Its god making up a bunch of experiences that make it seem like you are travelling across space, but actually God is just generating stuff. shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit you're actually not 1000000 miles away somewhere in a house in Los Vegas. OMG YOURE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! How the fuck did I not see you there before??????? So is everyone on this forum! They aren't spread out somewhere in the globe, they are all right in front of me! I'm in your trouser pocket, and you're in mine! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit The entire cosmos! The milky way! The atoms! The stars! ARE ALL IN FRONT OF ME!!!!! Its all compressed into the nothingness IN FRONT OF ME! fuck me shitless what am I seeing! The idea that I'm sending you a message through the internet is a joke! The internet message is going nowhere!!! Its looping back at itself. hahahahahahahahahhahaha what a joke! We are all in the same place!! Physically! Wow! it really is both! You're right!

were you scripted by god to say that?

did this really happen? If so where? I can't see anything?

@Leo Gura which one is it: 1) You don't exist, you're just imagination. you are MySelf(capital S) pretending to be real when you are not. I am making you up now, for my own entertainment. But if I look close at you and actualized.org, you're no less mechanical, and no more real than a non playable character in elder scrolls. 2) I don't exist, I'm just your imagination. I am YourSelf(capital S) pretending to be real when I am not. You are making me up now, for your own entertainment. But if you look close at me, I'm no less mechanical, and no more real than a non playable character in elder scrolls. If the answer is both why can't I experience your perspective right now? Why can't I teleport my soul into your body right now, see the couch you're sitting on, see the camera you use to make actualized.org videos right now? In my empirical experience, you don't exist at all. Yet I cannot tell you you don't exist, because you can say the same about me? In my experience I am the only one who exists right now and all of you are just non playable characters. But you can say the exact same about me???? Who is right here? If I am just a perspective, and you reached total omnipresence, you should be able to experience right now my perspective(if both of us are just endoscopes) you should be able to switch between endoscopes. In my experience, there's just 1 endoscope, which is me, and all the other endoscopes aren't real. and this is the exact same experience you're having, except about me and everyone else on here. Are you just made up? Are you just pretending to be some enlightened teacher when in fact you're just my imagination, and I've dreamt you entirely up? Tell me if its true? if not, show me how im made up, and only your experience is the legitimate and real experience?? Show me, me as your imagination, that I am made up. Go on. Have fun, play with your imagination, and show your imagination that its not real. Whose right here?

Its a well known fact that you're the average of the top 5 people you hang around. If you want to be a good musician, you go to LA. If you want to be the best scientist, you got to the hotbed of science, which is CMU or MIT. One big reason why Bohm was successful was because he was mentored by Einstein. Same goes with Carl Jung and Freud. This is because the best way to learn and become a master is to surround yourself with the best and then to learn from their actions and feedback. Basically work with them(or this is how mastery works in my experience). So if you want to do this for understanding reality, where do you go? Amsterdam? New Delhi? Its really easy to find the places for becoming a master at mainstream stuff like the above, but its hard to find the best places for understanding reality.

@Barna I'm moving there aswell in December (temporarily 1-2 yrs hopefully).

Interesting, that's awesome! Where abouts in California? I know Sedona is a good place to be, but I live in Australia and Byron Bay/Nimbin seems to be about the same in terms of spiritual density. A place that seems like it could produce a lot of results is Amsterdam. Also apparently you can take shrooms in Canada quite easily. Canada as an entire country is beginning to legalize weed.

@mandyjw ok thanks! What happened when you were looking at the branch? Did you have an insight while looking at it? What was the spiritual experience like? @Shinok but I can't see why it would slow you down. I know spiritual communities can, but that specific procedure does too? How so.

ok then, sounds like people have very lofty/airy fairy ideas about gurus or learning from masters in spirituality. Not sure why that's so. Instead, does anyone have an experience they can share of how they encountered their guru. Specifically why where they in the environment they were in(context). How did they notice that the guru was calling them or how did you convince your guru you were worthy. What do you think contributed to finding your guru the most? @mandyjw How did you encounter your sacred tree? Did your sacred tree wink at you as you walked past? @SalvijusHow did you encounter your guru? @ShinIn most spiritual traditions, there is a pattern: a group of people practice a technique, they then experience stuff, they then discuss it with each other and see if they are experiencing the same stuff. If they are that means its legit. If they aren't it means they are getting deluded. "here now" and using that as your guru is the perfect way to get deluded, even though it's very attractive for the spiritual sages on here that like to do everything from their mother's basement.
