Whats the process. If its science you should be able to explain it scientifically. Meaning if reality is material or made of atoms then science should explain everything. But science cannot explain that process. Because the process is mystical. Making reality mystical.

Precisely. AI wants to correct me but fuck it

I know but the question is so paramount and yet no one can explain this: and this question you won't find in any of Leo's videos. How can neurons create consciousness? Well certainly there has to be a scientific explanation. But wouldn't that involve more neurons.

Whats with the retarded voice I cant even listen to it.

The whole thing is mystical. You think neurons make this happen? How? Lol how would science explain it.

You were never a failure. You learn from every mistake. You can stumble and blunder around but you are never ever a failure. You are God.

Yes and this weird understanding is mystical.

Welcome friend. Balance is key. I see you have a struggle with balance here...listen..no one thing is more important than the other. Try to spread your attention across. In other words..short term and "little things" matter just as much as the long term goals. It's just a matter of balance and perspective. You are like one of those gymnasts on the balance beam. Your life is to stay on the beam. But to do that you must incorporate everything and yet find a way to make things work as a unit. As for the Christian. Well. It's very difficult once one gets locked into a particular belief (from birth) to ever have them see beyond it.

We know. But what's to stop you from still disputing it. What if you were absolutely conscious or lucid that every other being is your imagination. Would you stop immersing yourself into the dream. I've fucked this dream up every which way but loose..and loose too (awakening) yet im still here. Might leave at some point. But now I'm here. Still fascinated with the intricacies of this creation. This dream. I can marvel in it for decades.

But notice you were open minded to what God could be. Is there one? And if so where could he come form? Most humans don't have that gear. They just want to know what's for breakfast. The religion just puts the nail in the coffin. Consider yourself gifted.

Hahaha

Josh my man! Whats up man

Please state your experiences here. I have experienced it often in my life. Most recently late last week as my consciousness was shifted. This is indeed a very unique and mystical like experience in which one wakes from the dream but is still trapped. Almost metaphorically its like after you awaken from this dream but you are still trapped to this body. Here you awaken, and yet are trapped and cannot move. Consciousness is there but you are without any body. Until you push hard enough with your mind to break through and feel the body again This can be terrifying but I would like to hear your experiences.

If only it was that way. Most are paradigm locked.

That's good then. Im sorry you had to go through that.

No i asked if you told them to screw off...

And did you?

That's not the point. The question is really can you stomach doing something completely against your worldview. And if you were forced to how could you react.

@Leo Gura this is an interesting philosophical question though. What if you were absolutely forced to? How would you turn it into a positive? These questions that we do not want to face- those are the ones that make or break us. So its not about this particular question.

My sentiments exactly.

What would be the need? The point was i paid no attention at your age and cheated on the exam by looking at someone else's answers. At your age you are contemplating reality. Now..Now I am beyond academia. Just funny how life unfolds. It doesn't mean past philosophers don't interest me they do. But only for what they obtained...which can be transcended.

Yeah its funny. I cheated on my final exam in Philosophy class in college. My major was business but I had a philosophy class. If I could go back there now I would tell Kant and Descartes to take a dump.

But you can know it. I have this fantasy about you that you have been through university philosophy. For some reason I imagine you as the young guy who has gone through all the academia and all the philosophy classes and yet has gone beyond in his own mind. And that is you whether you sat through the classes or not. You are my hero for being interested in reality at such a young age. Im 55. But..you can know it. You just have to be in a different state of consciousness.

I understand what you are saying. But its a very Buddhist approach. I am simply offering that you can grasp reality at the most highest levels- but it requires transcending the self. Of course no one could say the Absolute Truth. When that is reached there are none to talk to or explain it too. I get it. But what I'm pointing to goes beyond traditional Buddhism and no self.

And I'm telling you that's wrong. Not that its Being it is. But its knowing as Being. Requires awakening.
