When artificial intelligence becomes really clever then it can replace a lot of the need for thinking. Smart AIs could manage all the practical things in our lives. It might seem outrageous to have machines replacing the human intellect, but it's just a similar yet higher evolutionary step as when machines started to replace human muscle force and skills centuries ago. But that's something for the future. We have exponential progress so it will likely be in a near future historically speaking, but that still means decades from today where society really begins to change due to artificial general intelligence (AGI). So in the coming decades much human inventions and development is necessary, and it looks like China is now leading the technological progress, such as the completion of the BeiDou-3 navigation system: One incredible thing a presenter said in the video is that BeiDou-3 not only can give users exact location; when people are separated from cell phone towers such as in a desert or on a mountain, smartphones can send data to the satellites. Only very slow speed communication but enough to send text messages enabling rescuing operation to locate people in emergency situations.

Both money and for example unicorns are concepts. Assuming that unicorns don't exist there is of course a crucial difference between unicorns and money. To the ego the concept unicorn is light (not heavy) since it's just a flaky fantasy. Money on the other hand is a concept that is connected to loads of real things. So money is a very heavy concept to the ego. From a nondual perspective both money and unicorns are the same thing. This requires taking a meta perspective and looking at thoughts as concepts which in turn are parts of the same one reality, not actually separate objects. I have started thinking about the word light in the Bible as meaning consciousness and spirit as meaning movement. The Holy Spirit, then, means the whole movement of reality. And it's this whole movement caused by the will of God which is nondual causality which determines what happens. A Course in Miracles says:

I want to keep ranting about money because that's such a huge part of the ego. Money will be necessary and useful for many years still to come and that's why e-money as a global currency is desirable to improve society in the whole world. It's the love of money that is problematic. And I figured out one possible definition of love of money which is when money becomes emotional. And money becomes emotional by connecting it to calendar time. Ego emotions are produced when personal money is placed in a predicted future. The mistake the ego makes with its treatment of money is that it turns money, which is a lifeless object, into something that the ego believes is a cause, an agent with the power to do anything or a tool necessary for personal success. What money is in reality is a concept, a noun. And a noun cannot do anything. A noun isn't even a concrete tool. So the love of money boils down to a mistaken view by the ego where its own concept is taken as something that in isolation can produce love. It can't. So it's a false kind of love.

Trump needs to keep bashing China massively, at least before the election. And even after the election, I don't see how the U.S. could ever accept China's new digital e-yuan (DCEP). And China is years ahead of the western powers in terms of e-money in combination with e-payments (AliPay and WePay). So what I hope for is that the G20 meeting will result in at least a proposal for a global digital currency.

Is fourth density in the Law of One a different kind of physical reality than today's third density world? No, I believe it's the same physical reality only that fourth density is more capable with less restrictions than third density. Imagine a world made of only Lego bricks. In that world we would believe that Lego bricks are the fundamental building blocks of reality. Similarly today, we believe that atoms and subatomic particles are like definite particles and that's the limit of what physical reality is made of. In the video with Deepak Chopra and Sadhguru they talked about Yogic matter which is more fundamental than what we today think of as physical matter. That to me sounded like higher density potential! So instead of experiencing reality as being limited to atoms, in fourth density more of the Yogic matter becomes available, meaning physical reality becomes more flexible.

The new Chinese digital currency DCEP (e-yuan) is extremely efficient for transferring money. When it comes to large transfers of money today the SWIFT system is often used, which is old, clunky and doesn't actually transfer money and instead the transactions have to cleared manually. It's unlikely that the U,S, would use the Chinese new e-money but I found that there is another problem which is that Trump has started to weaponize the SWIFT system according to this video: This must mean that there are lots of countries who want to replace SWIFT and even accept the Chinese new system, but larger countries and especially the U.S. will want to prevent that. The solution is...... a global digital currency! I stick to my previous proposal that IMF issues e-global, a digital currency, and then each country localizes it into their own version of the currency, such as e-dollar, e-yen, e-euro, e-pound and e-yuan. So all countries will use the same currency e-global because each national currency is just a tokenized version such as e-dollar and e-euro are in reality e-global, so then money transfer and currency exchange become transparent and automatic. And I suggest zero transaction and conversion fees to secure e-global as competitive and low-friction in the long run.

Brand new video by Aaron Abke who often uses A Course in Miracles in his teachings:

I think this presenter is bashing Trump too much, but he has some good points about China:
-
Andrew Yang now wants a pretty big universal basic income (UBI). Earlier I think he said $1,000 per month, now he says $2,000. And he talks in this video about how that's possible to implement: I think a UBI should be unconditional and given to all adult citizens. Even to people like Bill Gates! Because that makes the administration very easy and cost-effective. And also, for rich people, a UBI will not make much difference, but for say a single mom without job a UBI like that is a big deal. And also, people with low income jobs will receive both the UBI plus their ordinary salary, so that will make a huge difference. For a CEO earning millions a UBI will hardly make any difference at all, and there are much fewer rich people. So that's why I think a UBI can be distributed as unconditional helicopter money.

In this video Brad Johnson is channeling Adronis, and although I don't believe time can be bent which seems to be woo woo to me, Adronis said that an eternal physical body is possible. So that's actually a different teaching than most other spiritual teachings. Adronis also said that planet Venus is like Earth and that it's cloaked. That I think may be true too.
-
I like to sometimes examine ideas outside the box. Because even experts may be wrong, so to only learn from authorities is a limitation. One idea I'm testing is if spiritual enlightenment starts with the physical body instead of in the mind! Almost always spiritual teachings talk about the mind becoming enlightened while the body gets cancer and dies basically, haha. Sorry, not so funny, but it's almost funny how schizoid such teachings are when looking at physical and mental reality as being one reality.

QAnon has this new post: My guess is that it's about the Durham report. Trump needs a Spygate scandal to start before the election. My hope is that Durham's report will be released in August. And I predict that it will show DNC corruption instead of FBI/DOJ corruption.

When it comes to U.S. vs China there are actually three parts involved which are the governments and also the big corporations. I believe that the Chinese government has very much control over Huawei. In the U.S. I think it's mostly the intel agencies that are connected to the big tech companies, and that's for national security reasons rather than for business reasons. There will be some complicated development globally involving both governments and the private sector. And it will involve basically all governments around the world and most of the big corporations and also the private banking sector plus the central banks (+IMF/BIS/UN etc).

What the western powers such as the U.S. and Europe lack today is the massively integrated information structure China is developing. For example one expert said that a huge number of small companies in China are being connected through cloud computing in a way that makes them very much on equal footing with the bigger corporations. And that's just a small example. The e-yuan is another example of the systemic level of information infrastructure China is developing. And internationally, China is expanding through business deals, such as the Belt and Road Initiative: I haven't looked into that much yet but one idea I have is that BRI will include an expansion of the Chinese information infrastructure and not just of the traditional style of business deals and development.

I believe things such as human-made climate change crisis and coronavirus crisis are staged hoaxes for political manipulation purposes, but the economic growth model in recent history is unsustainable I think, so there needs to be some kind of shift into a more sustainable civilization. In this new video Deepak Chopra and Sadhguru talk about the planetary change that is necessary: And a truly conscious planet I believe means that we become Gaia, planet earth as a whole as a conscious being instead of remaining trapped in separate personal egos.

The ego is a holon at least as a thought-form. Thoughts are holons, patterns of information that are parts of the mind. And even though all minds are connected, the ego is only confined to the individual person. My ego and for example Donald Trump's ego are separate in experience although connected at the fundamental level of reality. This observation of the ego as an isolated holon makes it possible to assume that there is a next evolutionary level for humanity which is a much larger holon that is all of humanity as one mind, just as Bruce Lipton and Peter Russell have talked about (also the noosphere is a similar concept). And then it becomes clear why the personal ego needs to dissolve, because it blocks access to the larger holon. At the same time we cannot break out of our individual egos until the possibility of connecting the larger collective holon exists. I believe that we have reached a high enough individual ego development in history where the larger collective holon becomes possible. I also believe that evolution is an automatic process so the popping out of our individual egos and into the larger collective planetary consciousness will happen spontaneously when we have reached a high enough level of personal and collective development.

Dividing reality into different orders as in my previous post is similar to Leo's explanation. But I got most of that idea from Leo's videos in the first place. So that was expected. One tricky variant is how to fit holons into those levels of orders. On the first order level there isn't even any holon since totality is not a part of something else. And on the second order level there are only differences, which is valid for holons, but there is more to holons such as sameness which requires third order reality.
-
I find it interesting to examine the fundamental aspects of reality. It's useful to divide reality into different orders. The first order is that reality is difference. At the first order level there is only one sameness which is that reality is difference. The second order is relativity. Separate objects exist in relation to each other. On the second level there is no sameness. On the third order level sameness is the result of comparing relative objects. So sameness between seemingly separate objects appears as third order reality. As an example, the statement A = A is a third order reality construct. When that statement is examined on the second order level, the first A is different than the second A since they exist at different positions on the screen. And on the first order level the statement is difference (everything is difference on the first order level). I will compare that to Leo's take on sameness vs difference:

Notice that by meditating on money I don't mean like in attracting money or managing money. That's love of money. That's the camel trying to go through the eye of a needle. That's the root of all evil. Instead meditating on money here means recognizing that money is the core glue of the ego structure which in turn casts a shadow in the form of the death drive. So money is intimately connected to death!
-
Money is a powerful control structure, but it's a clunky and mechanical control structure. And also, money is the typical ego structure of separate control, which ultimately is an illusion. From a nonduality perspective control is the whole of reality moving as one process. And it's a process caused by both past and future rather than being a mechanical cause and effect from past to future. Otherwise it would be duality. To meditate on being one with God as ACIM recommended is the examination of the whole process of life from a nondual perspective. It's tricky to meditate on all of reality so meditation on money is useful. For example instead of observing clouds as in Ramana Maharshi's practice one can observe thoughts and feelings about money and let them dissolve.
-
This was interesting. The ACIM meditation practice in my previous post is without rules. So when I tried the empty mind meditation another idea came to my mind. And that was to meditate on money. The love of money is the root of all evil. Money is the major "glue" in the ego morphic field, so lots of the conflict is in the ego structures related to money. And love of money means attachment to money. Trying to clear the mind can be a struggle, which in itself is a form of conflict. And just observing thoughts and emotions, that to me is ordinary mindfulness practice. Meditation as I see it are more specific practices. And using money as the object of meditation is easy for the ego mind to do. And it's even possible to proactively resolve the ego structures related to money by training the mind to recognize where there is conflict and friction within oneself.
-
I now believe that meditation is useful. Not necessarily sitting meditation, although that might depend, for some people that will be effective I guess. My idea is that clearing the mind is improving the spiritual practice. Because as ACIM says, all minds are connected, and that's true because everything is connected. And so the ego mind is connected to all other ego minds and structures. And that's a conflict-ridden morphic field with lots of friction in it. Clearing the mind allows connections to a new morphic field that is a larger holon of harmony and peace. A Course in Miracles has for example this meditation practice:

Gautam Sachdeva like Roger Castillo had Ramesh Balsekar as a teacher and is also a nonduality teacher. Roger sometimes talks about A Course in Miracles and I found that Guatam is also talking about ACIM:

Here I found an interesting video by Kyle Cease about how the future isn't real and the past is real. And one trick is to feel the future the same way the past feels. Something like that. For me that's confirmation of my model saying the same thing. The past is information in the now, while the future is still in the unmanifested and not manifested yet.
