@Aakash No

Sorry, not much synchronicity for me. This "ramble" seems to me more like tarot and star sign readings - A mish mash of ideas like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly etc (which are all powerful symbols) These sort of things can be helpful thou in that it is a guide that help you think about your life. Without this guide is like an empty paper, you don´t know where to begin.

@Leo Gura But if you have real insight into the reality which is that when you hurt someone you hurt yourself, you still hurt people? Im confused why this be really....The reasons are probably many, here is what I can think of: The person is fake and only says to be enlightened. The spiritual path is wrong, partly because it tries to subdue and repress sexuality which makes a comeback with vengeance! the person enjoys pain. We unenlightened are wrong and they are actually doing something nice (just put it here as a possibility but I don´t believe it) The reasons are probably many.

@Fairy All of what you said is perhaps true. Im not sure where you are at but generally this is a phase similar to solipsism which will pass when you outgrow it. In the end Love is part of the answer so trust that and practice life until you experience truth. I cannot debate you unfortunately, you will just have to have faith in that (which is a word that might trigger some)

I had this idea that you make a virtual reality space / room that is just like the room you actually are in. It will kinda trick the brain into thinking it is in reality when its not and so you realize the real world is so similiar to the virtual world which might make you think that well if this wasn´t real whats saying that reality is real? hmm did I say that right? ;-)

Really sounds like this guy know what hes talking about. Thinking about trying I find it interesting when he explains: If you take DMT externally the body and mind will treat it like a poison at first and fight it until it surrenders. But when you give the body the right environment and situation it will produce it internally and the experience will be induced naturally. - This seems like a much more healthy way to do it. Maybe can get deeper into the experience as well...and get more our of it so it´s easier to integrate in your sober state since it all happened naturally and you actually were "sober" in that sense lol

I´d describe them moments when "you" are coming closer to the moment, reality, truth, God. Not sure what your fishing for.... Like I said: whats interesting is when you produce this experience and no take it from a magic pill. Similar to when you go to a typical western culture doctor he tells you you have a chemical inbalance so we need to add this compund to your system. When in reality our system/body already can produce this compund, so what is better medcine / healing is to find what your body and mind is lacking in order to stabalize. The body heals much better if it creates the medicine. Like Mantak said if i understood they tried external compunds but found they need to go back to internal, selfmade "medicine" or what you might call it. I find it quite interesting.... Personally my body and mind rejects psychedelics at the start of the trip, and after the trip it´s hard to integrate into my ordinary life since my ego can misinterpret the experience. I think it´s "better" to have a sober experience but phychedelics can jumpstart the process. This is the middle way and as buddha always said, the path is the middle way

@Martin123 haha yes keep at it!

15 years ago I got into lucid dreaming and then astral projection which shook my perception of reality. That led me to Buddhism which led me to Leo who led me to non duality. Last year I did a vipassana and that was when my work really began. Unfortunately my job takes to much of my time I hardly have time for friends and family or spirituality. Working on changing that.

Damn what a trip! So you gave your friend 30mg cause it was his first time? what if he also was very sensitive to it? I take stuff people have experienced while on psychedelics kinda like a dream. I´m sure it happened but not sure it works equally in "reality", at least that´s my experience. But I do believe things such as clairvoiance is possible, we simply have no idea how this works (at least in the west) This is a interesting video on some science done with these questions. Enjoy

Explore and see what fits you. A word of advice, when you choose then stick with it. You might be lost in choosing techniques and changing stuff which is distracting. When you sit down focus on one technique at the very least.

Had this weird experience on my last trip (not lsd) where at I was writing some stuff and happened upon two words I use in two different languages. If you flip one it kinda becomes the other but they mean completely different things but are related and even the same in a way. The more I thought about the words it seems like they shouldn't be able to exist simultaneously. It was like the reality broke down. Like...i don´t know how to say this in english: like when a sauce splits or breaks when you use oil and fat LOL Anyway it made me lose my ego but only for a short time, like a few minutes glimpse. Bottom line it´s nice to have an intent going into a trip but don´t plan to much or you´ll set up expectations. Everything can trigger a egodeath you just need to listen to it.

@MsNobody All I can recommend is try to look past your judgement and take the time yourself to investigate. I´d personally recommend his biblical lectures or maps of meaning. Unfortunately if you have judged him so much that you cannot stand to even listen to what a person has to say it seems that the struggle here for you is not about JP but about yourself. Generally ppl around me who have taken the time to listen to JP are not so hostile and ppl who havent say what you say. I believe this is because the media loves to hate JP as clickbate news reports. Also I am neither for or against JP. He brings some good to the world and some bad. It helps some people who are at a stage in life and doesnt help some. What I don´t understand is people who isnt in need of his teaching bash on him. If he helps others can´t he just be allowed to do that?

If I am conscious and I am everything including the pen in my hand then surely also the pen is conscious, it makes a sound when I tap it and leaves a trail of "itself" when i scratch another surface with it. Like I said before, all is equally conscious just in a different way. Else we would have duality, conscious and non conscious and duality ultimately does't exist.

@ajasatya So if there is no proof then how can you be sure you can prove that a AI or machine can never have it? If you say that it does feel like there is someone else like you in front of you. How are you certain that you are not projecting? So if there is a machine that works exactly like a human you know for sure that you could tell the difference since the machine can never be conscious? Let me ask you this: Do animal have consciousness? Is there a difference between a dolphin and a reptile? Can a network of mushroom myceilia and its surroundings have a consciousness of some sort? Im asking cause to me its like asking who I am, when I try to find the border between conscious and not conscious I end up not finding a distiction...that all is conscious. You could always do a Voight-Kampff test ;-)

@non_nothing Quantum indeterminacy: is the apparent necessary incompleteness in the description of a physical system, that has become one of the characteristics of the standard description of quantum physics. We thought the world was predetermined like a clockwork but Quantum theory is turning that upside down.... Im not sure about complete randomness. But it´s a subject central to the question and also a very interesting one.

@ajasatya

@non_nothing In the same way, how do you know that another human have a mind? Use that as definition. Well in order to do that you need to know what mind and consciousness is going full loop back to what I said, you need to know what that is before you proclaim that it can never be that. And you don´t seem to know what that is....I don´t know what that is hence I don´t know if it´s possible. But I think it might be since from what i know all seems to be consciousness .

@non_nothing I guess I interpreted your conclusion that AI cannot have a mind included that machine cannot have a mind. Still doesnt change a thing thou: the fact that you proclaim to know that and AI never can have a mind. @ajasatya Yes but we have discovered new ways to structure the machine, and with quantum computers into the mix I stand with my point. The question is do you lack the understanding how far we´ve come since the turing machine. And no I dont lack the understading how computers work: theire a couple of gates orderred in a structure. Just as the brains neo cortex is a couple of neurons ordered in a structure. What if we built a computer which had exactly the same kind of mechanical nerons ordered in exactly the same way?

@AceTrainerGreen Maybe under "Life Purpose, Career, Entrepreneurship"? Yea it´s a tricky one! I think AI and spirituality has some very big intersections. But from that point of view I´m not so worried that machines will take all our work from us. Similar to way back in middle ages when say 95% of humans were farmers we are now only a few % farmers. But the 95+% found other stuff to do. It´s all part of our development. Maybe we will finally have more time for family and spirituality!? Or we will just hang around fucking and eating....but I don´t think so. Humans have a way to strive forward and create stuff.

@AceTrainerGreen Since you posted this in the "Meditation, Consciousness, Enlightenment, Spirituality" section this will most likely be the context were are discussing it. But in that case I´ll leave and let you discuss that perspective Also non_nothing might have been replying to me...

@purerogue And why can´t everything be conscious? My experience is that everything might be conscious....I just happen to be a rather complex system and variation of conscious.

@non_nothing telling me to try get an experience of no self when I say my experience is that myself is all that is and is consciousness doesnt make sense since it should be obvious that I have had such experiences. It´s a very demeaning comment coming from an ego wanting to one up another ego as I see. Just pointing that out about your attitude for yourself.

@non_nothing I have not changed my attitude at all. Please read my first post and tell me how you know that I am wrong. To recap: Everything is consciousness so a machine could achieve a mind and consciousness. I´m not saying that I am right. But you believe you are without a doubt right so prove that my idea is wrong.
