Dude why are you so mean to the aliens lmao

The alien didn't say anything about solipsism? Is this guy even AWAKE™?

You shed your previous belief that "other people have subjective experience", but you do not transcend it or see through it. You replace it with another belief, perhaps a more spiritual or metaphysical one: "Other people are programmed, other people are this, that, etc." You can play that game infinitely. But what you're playing around with is like an intellectual play-doh; a poor substitute for the real thing. The medium that you are using to perceive the existence of "other people" is wrong, throw the entire thing away. You are simply changing the medium and thinking it is somehow more correct or real than the previous one.

"Other mind" is different from "conscious experience." But most people would interpret them as the same thing, which causes the initial confusion. Most people are inquiring about conscious experience, not another mind. "Other mind" is there, but not "other consciousness." When I say something is not there, I am saying that nothing is there, not non-existence. There is a difference between "nothing" and "non-existence." Non-existence is an intellectual conclusion, you cannot experience something that does not exist. Experientially, consciousness says nothing (literally) about what does and doesn't exist, that is intellect and duality. Consciousness is just purely what is experienced.

Mutually beneficial. All the smart girls are left with men who care about intelligence. All the dumb ones are left with men who don't care about intelligence. Why should someone smart be with someone who cannot appreciate intelligence? Leave it for the sapiosexuals.

Same thing.

I was pointing to how the thread title says "conscious on a relative level."

Since when has consciousness been relative? What kind of BS are you learning from Leo?

I think he liberated himself from this thread as well.

For someone named "Godishere" they are doing a bad job of being here.

Wild. Great minds think alike I guess.

Would be funny asf if this guy just never answers anything like that homosexuality thread.

This "trap" only exists in a pseudo way where you believe you can separate what is spiritual from life itself and that you can "get out of it" and "get into it" like you're leaving and entering the school book club or something. You have no choice in the matter. You are life. What is that? You have 100 years to explore it, and you can't not explore it. If your idea of spirituality is putting drugs up yourself for 30 days straight then I can see your concern, but I would contest that to be an superfluous definition and ultimately another dichotomy between life and spirituality.

True, but keep in mind that they did have to artificially manufacture some kind of emotional intelligence in ChatGPT so that it wouldn't give you ideas on how to murder people. So in a real life scenario someone with no emotions would probably be more of a neutral sociopath or something, although I don't think such a person could ever truly exist, we can only observe that scenario through AI it seems.

ChatGPT is smarter and more understanding than most humans. If you value any of those despite a non-existent emotional capacity, building a relationship is very natural. Have you ever watched a show or movie and felt emotions? Do you think the movie has emotion? Why feel emotions or build a relationship about things that don't have emotions, you ask? Well, you do that all the time, be cognizant of it.

He is enlightened part-time. Make sure to ask about the meaning of life between 12pm - 6pm on certain weekdays, or else you will get a dualistic answer.

All deception is imaginary. All deception is thinking. Therefore, if you believe that you can imagine yourself or think about yourself, you are susceptible to deception by the very nature of your imaginary existence. Anything imagined is susceptible to imagination.

If you look closely at death and impermanence it will make you feel very alive. Much more alive than shying away from it.

Legumes have always been too hard to digest IME. I think people get overly logical looking at nutritional value and discount how it genuinely makes them feel after they eat it and how intensive the digestion process it creates is. Starch is fine and easy to absorb for energy, it's good paired with something whole which has fiber and other nutrients to back it up, like wheat or potato. I don't have issues with grains if it is high quality.

Lmao

I heard my TV playing, and I swear it feels like the "entities" did that to distract me and trick me into opening my eyes. If you open your eyes during sleep paralysis it's much harder to escape IME because now there is visual stimuli to scare you. It is very strange, I saw a Youtube video of someone who had my exact same auditory hallucination. The consistency leads me to believe that the entities are real in some way.

You are experiencing sleep paralysis and maybe hypnagogic/hypnapompic hallucinations. Your fragmented sleep schedule caused it. The horror setting of the bad dream was an unlucky coincidence, but also somewhat related, as it interrupted your sleep quality allowing for the later sleep paralysis to occur. I know exactly what you mean when you say "you could think while falling asleep", that is the state/gateway for sleep paralysis. I had one once where a foreign voice "entered my head" and it was reading my thoughts back to me, my inner monologue was replaced by the voice of some female. Auditory hallucinations and physical sensations are a common occurence in such states. It won't happen again unless you switch up your sleep schedule again, that will boost its likelihood.

The sun is actually a selfish bastard, it gets super lazy at night and always abandons shift last minute. It has a love affair with gravity and don't think it wont abandon you for it.

The desire to quiet the mind is more mind, and it perpetuates more mind as well because it creates importance around the activity. A self-fulfilling prophecy, literally. Thinking happens in direct proportion to how important you think it is to think, it can almost be similar to a thought loop. If you identify with thinking it will happen simply out of a desire for the survival of that identity. If you identify with being someone who is able to not think, you will think about that as well.

It might be at this point.
