Very profound even if subjectively you cant control reality the differences are extremely profound. Wouldn't you want to know if Mars existed independent of your Consciousness or not.

@Schahin so what's your question?

Here is the tricky thing about reality. If it is objective that would be true. But if its subjective it would hinge on only you getting cancer and you haven't yet. When you do you do.

Yes I've heard this before. I believe one gifted in that they can experience sleep paralysis could in fact experience lucid dreaming. And that would be so cool because right now honestly my dreams are so powerful they are on the same level as the waking dream. I wake up in hot sweats unable to differentiate realities.

I've never achieved it in dreaming. In the sleeping dream. Never. I'm lucid now in the waking dream but have never been able to in the sleeping one. Weird. I have however experienced sleep paralysis which is a total mind fuck.

Wow OK that's the best experience yet hands down. I want a beautiful woman coming to me in the night where I cannot move telling me that suffering is love. I love that man. Thanks for sharing .

Coming back from ego death can be dysfunctional too. Any stories? Man. I barely came back to sanity.

I panic and try to use all my mind force like the Force in Star Wars or something. Like the Force that's literally what it is. And I always win. For now. Darth Maul hasn't won yet.

The awake sit quietly among us. The lucid unknown. The dreamer is known only to the dreamer.

Why do you do to break out?

@ExploringReality what is yours?

Exactly!!! I have. This is just entertainment. So ask me anything on that. Well I shouldn't say entertainment because there is much to learn aside from awakening.

I meant waking from the waking dream.

Exactly. But here is the mindfuck. What if this thing that you're in right now is exactly the same thing?

@Hojo but that's precisely the effort it takes to break out.

Jesus that vein looks like its going to blow up the earth lol

Well that's interesting because i know that and I fight it mentally. That's the only way you can as your body is dead weight as you say. And yet it works. After a few seconds. But I wonder what it would be like to stay like that for a while - with no fear of breaking out- would there be those other phenomena you mentioned.

My ego kicks in and I get scared of being paralyzed awake forever. But next time it happens im going to try and do what you are saying. Stay calm and welcome it. Then see what it brings. You will have it again. Maybe. I went decades without it and I am a lot older than you.

Awesome. Yeah.. I don't experience all that stuff but I wish I did. Your experiences are more vivid.

Very nicely said.

@Leo Gura im trying to find it now but what was the mysterious question you said would be answered in later parts but was a homework assignment. Not the going to metarationality.com I was talking about another question you asked as a homework assignment early on but I cant find it now. But to your point on there being something beyond human intelligence as there is a baboon to a human. Yes..when one enters mystical expanded states of Consciousness the self dissolves and you are in Infinite Consciousness. There is no self. Thats why if you come back to the self you may not regain your sanity. Sanity isn't in the realm you are in it is the sense of who you are. In order to go higher than a human you have to sacrifice the human. Your definition of sanity seems to be the reality you are in. Not so. I can be dropped in any reality and my sanity will adjust. Who and what I am is what makes me sane. Your sanity is tied to your identity. And this requires other. Or duality. You seem to think also that there are other beings or aliens that might be at a higher state of consciousness than humans. That's possible but they must still be finite and have a sense of self. And thus, other. Infinite Consciousness is alien to the human of course. But your claims of alien consciousness indicate what i mention above. This could be true but again they would also be finite beings tied to a self. Why don't you ever address this or is it in the later episodes?

@Leo Gura love it so far. It is a culmination and also an advanced explanation of all of your previous work. Of course it doesn't capture all of it but it is an excellent extension of your previous work on deconstructing materialism and science. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3. One interesting thing is how it also appears to be at the same time a part two of your episode called The Power of Not Knowing. The mystical nature of Intelligence but also reality.

What did you expect they have to meet at some point. Do you think they would wrestle physically? It's all fake . All of politics is a hoax. I'm sure understand this by now

Just stare at your hand

You are weaving your reality as you go. There isn't a subject/ object or an external reality out there. So yea. You're weaving it. Not external events. Now. Some thing appear out of your control but be careful there because that is an optical illusion. You can change your reality or your fate if you want to enough. But sometimes that could take tons of work.
