Oppositionless

Argument for God from epistemic solipsism and the rectontextualization of faith: 1) All we know for certain is our mind exists. 2) Faith is recontexualized as belief in anything beyond our own personal mind. 3) Solipsism states that there is only one mind from which everything else derives its existence. 4) Therefore the smallest possible leap of faith still posits only one mind, but that this mind is transpersonal. 5) This transpersonal mind is self existent and unlimited because there is nothing outside of it to limit it. 6) Therefore this one mind is God.

Primarily of not knowing. I like being a person, so the thought of consciousness continuing without any memory connection to my present life is what scares me. It doesn't help that basic nonduality, not god realization, seems to advocate a view where death is more or less an eternal k hole. When Bernardo Kastrup talked about his theory of the afterlife it gave me an existential crisis, lol. And I'm a little scared of hell, that there will be a memory connection to my new life, but it won't be a good place. A pretty common theme of salvia trips is turning into an inanimate object for years, that freaks me out too. That would be a kind of hell. But yeah, not knowing is scary. I put a little faith in Leo who says death is infinite love, but because I haven't experienced that I don't take that faith too seriously.

Yes something continues but you don't know what that is. You don't know if it would be something that can remember your human self, and therefore you don't know if there's even anything you know of as you left to care what happens .

Keep in mind that when Leo says there's something after death, it's not something he believes. Leo never "believed" in an afterlife, and nonexistence is a perfectly reasonable hypothesis pre-awakening. That's why I'm so critical of people's afterlife theories. Hell even an afterlife doesn't necessitate any kind of continuation of the personal self, of memory. If "you" got reincarnated into a medieval torture machine as you mentioned, that might not really be "you." Also, another point, if you did have an awakening into immortality, it's statistically more likely to come from a heavenly experience than a hellish one. The experience you had seems like just the very tip of awakening, not a full breakthrough. If you had reached full breakthrough , you'd be in bliss , not agony. I hope this helps a little bit. 🙏

In some of your previous posts you've mentioned how you're not exactly afraid of death, what you're afraid of is hell, or eternal suffering. I remember you were saying how much nicer it would be if death was what materialism predicts , just nothing at all. And I have to say, I sometimes feel the same. The latent Christianity I was indoctrinated with has been coming back up to be processed lately and the thought of getting sent to hell, despite irrational , looms in the background for me. Unfortunately for us, the only way out is through . We need to stay conscious and not shy away from the fear so it can be actually processed and not suppressed. Maybe some tripping could help too. Also, recognizing that HELL is a human construct used to control. But that still doesn't make it easy if you have religious trauma. I remember telling you about Gnosticism and the new age soul farm hypothesis , and now I want to emphasize that I don't actually believe it, rather it's a useful metaphor that both validates our fears and gives us an oppurtunity to do something about it, even if it's just symbolic.

Because I have the Christian mind virus and want help deconstructing it. Because I haven't reached Yellow and so struggle to distinguish between low vs high perspectives, waffling in the stage Green flat hierarchy where every belief is equally valid.

I thought I was tier two, but then I got sucked into the Christian apologist rabbit hole. I seem to be lacking in yellow hierarchies of perspective, stuck in green flat hierarchies struggling to distinguish low and high perspectives. Afraid of going to hell. I wish I could just dismiss Christianity as easily as Leo , but the mind virus has infected me somewhat. what I can't seem to get over is how bizarre it is that so many people, within a few years of Jesus death believed he resurrected. Leo said he believes in remote viewing because there wouldn't be so many people talking about it if there wasn't something to it. I don't know how to not apply that same logic to Jesus and hell. anyway I think I'm late-stage or deficient green with a lot of unprocessed blue coming in . I recognize that there's something wrong about not being able to distinguish low vs high perspectives , but I'm unsure how to progress, unable to fundamentally grasp why one perspective is lower consciousness than another. The best antidote to my particular problem I've found is bingeing atheist content to try to counteract it.

@gengar You know I'm really not sure why more companies aren't using it. But I think part of it has to do with the fact that remote viewing is a super rare skill, highly genetic, and basically impossible for someone without a genetic disposition to learn without some kind of technological enhancement like I suspect aliens use. As for why it's connected to the UAP phenomenon, I think you could reframe it. Instead of saying "it's a red flag that both these new age ideas are converging" you could say "it's obvious that if this phenomenon is real beings way more developed than us would weaponize it." I did read two books by Radin, Supernornal and Entangled Minds. I thought they were intriguing but not conclusive, because it's such a small effect you gotta take thousands of trials and compute the statistics on them. And some skeptics have pointed out there could be a "file drawer" effect where negative studies aren't published. That's why my belief comes primarily from the more dramatic experiences people have with UAP telepathy than the studies.

@gengar Also the Jake Barber interview talks about how psychics are used to summon UAPs. By studying the phenomenon, it becomes obvious these beings and their craft utilize psychic abilities. I believe they use technology to massively increase their abilities, and in a few hundred or a thousand years humanity will be doing the same. From my anecdotal experience, I can confirm that binaural beats mildly enhance my inutition. Imagine increasing that by 1000x, that's what these aliens are doing. That helps explain why people who see aliens are able to speak telepathically to them, there seems to be a kind of device that creates a field of heightened psychic abilities.

Skip to 16:20 if you want. What do you think about this? I think he's wrong, because he doesn't understand evil. He doesn't know how depraved people in government are , he doesn't understand gaslighting. Corruption is powerful, it can do everything to keep a secret . its also very practical to keep it secret . Alien technology. There are plenty of good leaders . Invest in good leaders. But they know that they can't keep it for much longer , so they're starting to spoon feed us information. The military operates outside the scope of Congress has been made obvious recently.

@Natasha Tori Maru military operates outside the scope of Congress, the president , and the court. check out the Jake Barber interview on Leo's blog. Elected officials know nothing, and for good reason (imagine telling MTG or my genius governor Ron Desantis about UFOs). Cox would be right if any of those entities was calling the shots on this issue, but they're not, so he's wrong you could make a whole meta point about democracy based on this ufo issue. Plato and Aristotle thought the world should be led by an unelected class of philosopher mystics .

Done. It's interesting how Annaka is talking about idealism but won't call it idealism. It's like that's a dirty word for science people.

@Leo Gura lol he and other scientists actually think the military would walk into Harvard with a fucking ufo if they found one.

The brain appears to be a dream that dreams other dreams . Meta-dreaming. Specifically, it appears to be a dream necessary for a finite, human dream. Without a brain, there would be no stakes, none of the drama of survival.

I'm not sure this counts as a genetic freak of nature but you gotta be pretty brave to catch 10 foot pythons with your bare hands .

Fun medical woo takedown "If you get cancer you should just IGNORE THE DIAGNOSIS!" Positive vibes cure that shit baby. Medical woo might be the most dangerous brand of woo out there. This vegetable police guy thinks a raw vegan diet can literally cure any illness. The cringe is next level. That being said , there needs to be balance between listening to a doctor , and also doing a shitload of research of your specific condition.

Very interesting. There can probably be room for both. And the lines could blur in the case of super advanced technology. Especially technology that drastically enhances natural psychic or extrasensory abilities.

Do you guys think aliens are from this planet or from other dimensions? I used to be sure they were just from other planets, but the more I look into things like poltergeist- cryptid-UFO connection (ie Skinwalker Ranch and the Westmorland incident , aliens walking through walls, and psychic abilities I'm starting to think they're not physical in the traditional sense.

When you had your NDE were you able to see your body from above? Was there anyone in the room doing things you later confirmed? Also did you spontaneously awaken after your NDE?

Easier to just quote it

What exists beyond space and time? Consciousness? Formless emptiness? Is there an identity , memory , form associated with that exists beyond space and time? And if memory is wiped at death how is that functionally different from materialist nonexistence ?

@Sugarcoat Gospel of Thomas is a good read. I believe that if Jesus existed and was really awakened , it's almost certainly his actual words, and basically debunks traditional Christianity (and that's why they had to cut it from the Bible).

The gnostics were a group of early Christians who wrote the gnostic gospels (not included in the Bible) including the gospel of Thomas and the gospel of Mary Magdalene. They believed the world was created by a false God called the Demiurge. Jesus was sent by the real God to liberate us from the world created by the Demiurge. The fact that Buddhists and Gnostics came up with essentially the same idea (Samsara / Demiurge reincarnation trap) , to me, gives the idea some credibility, I think the idea of avoiding the white light is a new age spinoff of Gnosticism . I think it started with Robert Monroe (who coined the term out of body experience). During his astral projection trips he met an entity who told him that Earth is a "Loosh farm" (basically soul energy) created by demonic entities . I think some other people who had NDE's came up with the idea of avoiding the white light, some of them had met entities on the other side who told them that the white light is the entrance to the "soul trap" imprisoning us on Earth.

Well according to the Gnostics the world is created by an evil Demiurge, and Jesus came to help people escape it. a lot of new agers will talk about how the white light at death is a trap and you should resist it as much as possible.
