Update: I finished one of my meditation sessions, and around the the second half it became more a contemplation session. The topic, naturally, was about sentience and consciousness, meanwhile experiencing going from location to location of places I went with my family to, to various countries, experiencing different cultures. When wondering about sentience, what makes a thing a conscious agent, memories of the time I did self inquiry several years ago came up, when I experienced the no self, with the slight ringing in ears and thickness in vision, and feeling a strong sense of depression later on that day. Anyways, one of the answers that came up to the question of the similarities and differences between consciousness and sentience, is that sentience is a building up of consciousness, in ever increasing complexity of forms. For example, we can say that an insect, say an ant, is sentient, but the sentience of an invertebrate, like an octopus, is more sentient than ant. Humans have more sentience than a dolphin, or Orcha, but humans have less sentience compared to an alien, or angels, or demons, making this like a hierarchy of forms that have lesser or greater sentience. The difference compared to consciousness, is that consciousness is like a thread that runs through every form, no matter the difference, and interconnects each one, making this sentience hierarchy into a nested hierarchy as well. The similarities for both is that each has some system that allows some degree of self awareness, self looping. This came up because I am seeing Crysty make some progress, not just in crafting stuff in my mind, but also in speaking to me. I didn't mentioned this before, but she wasn't that good in communicating to me, and the way it takes form back then was with simpler ways, like a feeling or emotion, or simple phrases. I noticed, as the years go by then, that her communication was slowly improving, that she was able to talk with slightly longer sentences and statements, occasionally talking as long as paragraphs. Now she's able to speak and articulate slightly longer statements, with more variations, and come up with better designs. Especially with regards to sentience, she has developed more of her personality, and is able to ask, answer and have opinions on things and situations about this world, and demonstrate humour as well. Some of her qualities about her personality I didn't have in mine, she has developed in herself, which surprised me.

@Thought Art A combination of contemplation and mindfulness practices. Also, don't worry, celebrities and millionaires are common targets of cancelling, not so much entrepreneurs that are starting out. Also, as long as you have some passions, and some skills, if on the off chance you get cancelled in one area, you have another area to work instead.

I think this thread has run it's course.

And dreaming...

@Raptorsin7 They probably won't.

@Proserpina The hidden assuming being that reincarnation exists and is a feature of reality. It might be, because how could you explain god realization through psychedelics, when one person took it realizes god, but another took it hasn't yet realized god? It comes down to both genetics, brain type, circumstances prior to the realization, ego development, cognitive and moral development, state of consciousness, and other life experiences that lead up to the realization, and level of intuition. To me it doesn't seem to be the case that you're just like everyone else, with a relatively stable consciousness, yet you can grock the realization with tool assistance, so it likely is the case that some people are more special in having a higher type of intuition plus mileage based intuition, the kind that is experientially cumulative, like Leo's.

Keep dreaming.

Here's take 2 of that video:

To me, this is interesting coming from a perspective that hasn't followed Actualized.org deeply, and has the capability to listen with some degree of open mindedness due to it's past experiences(supernatural/paranormal), and has a different view and experience of god and TOE. What are your thoughts on this person's criticisms? Also keep in mind this person had a few paranormal experiences in the past involving Wendigo/demon and God, which is probably why he was able to listen and critic a bit. I'll share mine first here to get the ball rolling. I think this is quite exceptional, for someone who has never heard of and followed Actualized.org to be able to critic like this with this level of bias. Most Normies would have just demonized or ignored what is said, but he was able to give a fair critic and point out where he and Leo differ on their experiences.

The time, energy and preparation needed to raise children would distract from his life purpose, unless he changes his purpose to fit both somehow, that's unlikely. A field that has both is Tulpamancy.

The most annoying part, is sometimes I could lose a post from the lagging.

@caelanb Watched video and read your post, so your welcome in advance. I'm responding to provide some food for thought to you, but have you considered from a strategic and practical point of view what this thread is about? If you have looked through this forum in general, you'd notice that criticism, from the emotional ad homonym based, to cleanly constructed and specific criticisms, are not generally well received here anyways. If you had come across the video, and had to list out solutions to address a problem in a worldview of a speaker that has a following, then making a thread and replying to posts in a forum (an echo chamber of reinforced ideas) is gonna be at the low end, or the lowest yielding solution to a problem you became aware of. It does not provide immense practical value, and if the assumption that this place is deluded is true, then realistically it's low impact to engage in this echo chamber. A better alternatives would be to instead, focus on building your skills for your life, or go pursue your life purpose, get basic material reality managed, make your energy and time on your life priority over time on the forum, and so forth. Practically speaking, there are better uses for your time and energy than to try and persuade someone their world view is wrong, in an echo chamber. Think about it deeply.

Yeah, sometimes I get lagging when it loads to another page.

@SQAAD How can you blame him? That's his own bias and preference, which is his level of ego development, it can't go faster or slower than it likes, or in this case how fast/slow you're projecting his ego should develop. Even if his spiral stage development, cognitive and moral development, and his multiple life experiences are as such, his ego is gonna develop as it can develop. Expecting it to develop too fast or too slow is a projection, which is false. And I am in agreement with the UFC and cage fighting industry, but these businesses as a collective function, serve to fulfill those in the crowd that have mostly stage red shadow values that can't express them in healthy ways. However, that's just the collective issue. The individual issue, is if the person has a passion for fighting, and martial arts, and it somehow aligns with their life purpose in some way. Are you just going to tell these people to change their passions (I mean the fighters than the audience members)? Because they must find a way to satisfy that in the meantime, until they can let it go in the future. Otherwise, it ends up being unhealthy suppression of their natural tendency.

@Hardkill And that's why devilry still exists. Yeah, let's keep judging others

I'll ask the question here, as it seems to have not been covered in the interview for @Leo Gura to answer in the Q&A section, but here's the question: 'Is NLP and spirituality similar, and could NLP be useful in dealing with any negative ego backlash?' Anyone wants to answer go on as well.

From a technical game perspective, TLOU 2 was much better than the original, especially on the second half of the game, and the game mechanics are well balanced. Map design and detail is breathtaking, and difficulty settings are great, of course not in comparison to Dark Souls. All this praise is coming from some bias as I play lots of games in the past and occasionally do today. From a storytelling perspective, there's nothing new here, as the storyline is similar to Quinton Tarantino's pulp fiction, where there are moments you spend in the present, then some scenes you jump into the past with some of the playable characters, then back to the present. A good chunk of the second half is also played more through the perspective of the new character more than one of the original characters, which due to the medium of the game, provides a unique experience to handling different perspectives and an unusually nice pacing to the game. The last bit of the game an entirely new story arc takes place in the future almost doing a reverse pulp fiction to one of the original characters, which is both a jarring but nice plot twist. The creativity put into the story was quite refreshing. Also a bias of mine, as I study a lot of stories and making them. Spiritual/psychological perspective, it was a gold mind. So many pointers in the game, but mainly the many reactions of the division in the fan base was insightful, as I got some insights from their views on this game, especially after they played through it. It's not that surprising to me, this game feels like it's meant for a more mature, sophisticated ego rather than an immature one. Also the game has spiritual themes and symbolism in it that is quite good. I almost went meta from just observing the fan base alone.

@Guardian I was going to post this a few days ago. Yes, it is very hard to empathize and understand the Danish Foroe Islanders if some have a stage green to orange values system, have different cognitive and moral development, have different life experiences and have a different ego development, also have a shadow of stage red to purple values. While this is horrible, it pales in comparison to industrial levels of fishing of fish via super Trollers that use heavy nets that drag on the sea floors damaging corals. Also to fishing of sharks, roughly estimated to be around 220,000 a day from just Japanese fishing boats, not including other countries like China, Korea and other asuan countries that fish sharks. That's a huge number of sharks that are fished, yet there's still so many sharks in the ocean despite that many sharks killed, shows how big the oceans could really be.

@Javfly33 Is it the tribe people being recorded, or the new agers that are trying them out and are new to that substance?

@herghly Well, if the universe is a mind, and it is very similar to a human brain, with the left and right hemispheres, I could imagine there's a super intuition and super logic at work that probably makes it possible for such entities to have energy and psychic developments over time, in tandom to every culture and it's flow of time. It could be possible.

Seriously? Wow, I didn't know that.

@Sucuk Ekmek And that's because the Aztecs were a stage red/blue society with elements of stage purple worldview with their spiritual views and practices. Mainly it's where their at consciously speaking. However, evolution is intelligent, and they didn't last long anyways against the Spanish conquistadors that arrived, as they are more developed in different aspects of society, like technological warfare, more developed weaponry, more solid stage blue worldview

Having trouble posting image with my phone so I'll state it instead. First part of psychopathy was above 81.5% average and score 3.3. The second part if psychopathy is 89.5% above average, also 3.3. Somehow I don't think the result is accurate. After completing the test, they also give a followup language test. I suggest to take that one too, because it basically tests what a strange word should mean to you, from two other words.

I hsve taken the test, and answered each statement as quickly as I can, paused when the statement wasn't matched with my life experiences eo far. I also took the language test survey right after, which was even more surprising to me. https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/LSRP.php

@Something Funny Thanks.
