Alexa What is the key factor in reaching spiritual enlightenment? A: The most determining factor in reaching spiritual enlightenment is sustained attention and self-awareness. This involves consistently turning your focus inward to understand your true nature beyond the thinking mind, cultivating mindfulness, and practicing self-inquiry to realize your essential being as pure consciousness.

Alexa What is the percentage of people who reach enlightenment in a spiritual community? A: While thousands may experience moments of spiritual awakening, only a small fraction consistently pursue deeper enlightenment through regular meditation. Enlightenment is typically viewed as a gradual process spanning many lifetimes, suggesting that complete enlightenment is rare in any single community.

@Hojo I'm seeing 16 of the little Basterds. Buit I'm sure there are plenty more hiding out of sight in extra dimensions.

Worse than a Euclidian Hyperspace with more than 3 dimensions.

Q to Alexa: Can Calabi-Yau manifolds hide extra dimensions of space? A: In string theory, Calabi-Yau manifolds serve as the compactification spaces for the extra dimensions beyond our observable three dimensions of space and one of time. These manifolds are complex, higher-dimensional spaces that are Ricci-flat, meaning their Ricci curvature is zero, making them ideal for compactifying extra dimensions in string theory.

Alexa: Eight-dimensional space is a mathematical concept where each point is represented by eight coordinates. This extends our usual three dimensions to include five additional spatial dimensions, creating a space where complex geometric shapes like 8-polytopes and 7-spheres exist.

@Yimpa ???

I use a circular polarizer most all the time for photography so I'm all too familiar. Cold mirror and hot mirror I'll have to edu myself on. 20th wave first surface mirrors I'm all too familiar with.

I'd love to hear your interactions with Alexa. Please feel free to share. *Note; Ask Alexa to send her reply to your email address. For instance, she sent it to my Gmail. From there it can be saved and shared.

Same here. I've noticed a tendency to do it more when experiencing time dilation. That and building plastic model planes that don't fly.

Safeguards. Can you imagine someone having access to full on God mode/memory? Probably go off halfcocked someday and collapse all of reality. And yes, memory is the way to "God mode". Ever notice how all breakthroughs and realizations feel so familiar? It's all about remembering. Bit by bit. Safeguards.

@MellowEd The forum angels are on their way to guide this topic to its heavenly abode.

@Nate0098 Infinity is infinite. Whether it's infinite experiences that are totally alien to everything you know like time running backwards as you swim through the upper atmosphere of a planet in another dimension. Or similar to what your life experience is now but with the slightest difference of one less hair on your head as you read this. Or one more. The variables are truly infinite. Infinite potential for everything and anything.

Look how happy this guy is. Don't you wish this was you?

Best to pay heed to Romans 12:19 on that subject. Dearly beloved do not take vengeance on to your own but rather leave room for God's wrath. I shall repay saith the lord. That's the only quote from the bible I know. It helped me to change my ways years ago. Kind of like that guy in Pulp Fiction with his bible quote.

@MellowEd Are you familiar with The Nine Circles of Hell from Dante's Inferno. It's some pretty crazy shit like being buried up to your neck in frozen tears. Another was gnawing on the severed head of your enemy for all eternity.

Consciousness and reality appear mutually on the absolute like sea foam on the ocean.

Yes, the very act of pursuing is implying lack or absence which is the wrong approach.

@Hojo Rocking your head back and forth or looking right to left has nothing at all to do with brainwaves. Something else is going on if there is a change on the monitor. The headband sensors are located on the forehead so you moving around is probably messing up the reading. If you want to get an accurate reading, try sitting still.

@Hojo You're looking at manmade satellites and yes there are thousands of them orbiting the Earth. Notice the ones that follow each other @3:00 in a straight line? That is Starlink. It looks way more impressive than what is normally seen with the unaided eye because he's using a super sensitive camera and it's speeded up. With a satellite tracking app such as Heavens Above every one of those lights in the sky can be identified. BTW-I saw no "triangles". Some of the dots were a bit oblong but that's only due to the frame speed of the camera.

@Hojo O.K. I got it now. According to Alexa "flow is low level of alpha and high level of theta indicating heightened focus and concentration". I know sometimes athletes/golfers and such train using biofeedback to help them "Get in the Zone".

@Hojo What are you using to determine this "flow state" you are referring to? By flow state do you mean streaming selected brain waves over others? I was reading for clinical neurofeedback to be effective it needs to have real-time feedback of 500 Ms or less. That takes a lot of computing power especially when there are multiple brainwaves being monitored simultaneously. Besides for the equipment costs the software is expensive. I priced it a few years ago and it was around $5000.00 us. That was for a decent entry level unit and basic software. I went for a sleep study a few years back and they had the good stuff in the monitoring room. When they got me ready, they did a check to see if all the sensors were getting a signal. Then they started recording my brainwaves. I first went into the meditative state I had been practicing. I wonder what they saw for the first 20 mins. or so. I forgot to ask the next morning.

@Hojo The EmWave monitors coherence. Looks like you at about 4% according to the graph. You'll have to work on that a bit and see if you can get a higher score. I'm not sure what is meant by "flow time". I did see it does monitor alpha (gold line) and theta (green line) plus others beta, ect. Can you see the results in real time? Your beta waves are the most abundant @ 42% which are your normal waking, thinking brainwaves. On the color chart see if you can replace more of the blue area with the gold/yellow. It takes practice and it's hard to say how accurate/sensitive your monitor really is. The really sensitive clinical monitors that are used for like sleep studies ect. are some expensive equipment.

@Hojo I have an EmWave around here somewhere. It uses a software program to record Brainwave/heart sync. Years ago I had an alpha/theta monitor that was great for meditation. It gave an audible ping when you hit on either. With practice you could get a stream of alpha or theta going.

That's the spirit! bang your ego up against that wall enough times and you'll have a true breakthrough, beyond all silly games. Do you dare??
