Bit of a stretch to say that he helped to get Trump elected by not wanting to vote for Biden. He's always been anti Trump.

Cracking skulls

This one really came as a surprise to me. Good on her !

She psyched her male competitors out by nagging in their ears about nothing in particular for 250 miles

(How did he help Trump win ?) I can't find the old Epstein thread. But this should further influence voters. Another 13 year old says Trump sexually assaulted her. Starts at 2min13sec mark

You're funny, I like you too. Solipsism and radical nonduality are probably quite similar. And Leo says you're imagining everyone.

Aha

I think Dave knows solipsism, and he hasn't done psychedelics yet.

Beautiful, thank you

Old Ozzy joke: Guy is sitting at the bar and he keeps looking at his watch, with fascination, almost like he's reading a book. Eventually the woman sitting next to him at the bar, starts to get curious and says: "what's the matter, has someone stood you up ?" He replies: "no you don't understand, this is a magical watch, it provides me with secret information about my surroundings." She's like: "don't be silly, like what kind of information is it giving you at the moment ?" He looks closely at his watch: "well right now for example, it's telling me that ur not wearing any knickers." She giggles: "well your watch is full of shit, cause I am wearing knickers." He looks at her in disbelief, taps with frustration on the watch and says: "God dammit, the thing's running 20minutes early again."

So would you say indifference = love ?

Maybe it's possible to create AI with some kind of pure sensory intelligence.

Like if my mind goes silent, I'm still conscious. Could the same be said of some AI robot, ie if access to information or calculation is cut off for a while

I think you might be onto something. It's like saying is the mind itself conscious. Are thoughts conscious. Are mental processes conscious. The answer would be no me thinks.

Yes, Jim says he is happy to do a free whatsapp call to settle this

You'd need to give Jim a call, pretty sure he does. I have more and more glimpses of this. This video by Leo is like a psychedelic in this regard.

It's funny, I just made this little video yesterday.

You seems to have all these quotes which Newman never said ps I don't agree with everything he says.

Once again, I'm not saying that mental functioning falls away.

I simply said, that sense of being a character on a linear timeline moving towards fulfillment. It's not a denial of human experience as such.

Cool, thanks.

Definition of self, ego etc seems to be quite tricky.

So that ego that wants to identify with nondual consciousness can also 'fall away' eventually ? But until it does there's not much we can do but notice it I guess. Does it just run out of steam eventually ?

Thank you

I like your definition also. But can you now see that we are giving different definitions for the self. For example you said something about a chief preferring 3 wives etc. And I clearly said that preferences and survival instincts don't fall away. So to say that it's impossible for the self to fall away, you are only talking about your definition of the self. Not the same self as what fell away for Jim or Mellowmarsh or VeganAwake etc.
