Most of this entity stuff is New Age nonsense, go deep enough and you'll see how they're projections of your mind. Doesn't mean they're unreal, quite the opposite, nor does it mean they can't provide you with valuable insights or hurt you in some way, that's all still on the table. How about creating your own entity to help run your life in the background? Possible, I've done it, pretty sure others have as well.

Classic variants of meditation become weak sauce after a certain point. Never really worked for me to begin with due to an overly inquisitive mind, but that can be turned into a strength. You could start doing God Mind meditation. As I'm riding on a train, I close my eyes, and through deconstructing the concept of motion in my mind I reach consciousness of Absolute Stillness, similarly you could do No Self and such classic awakening experiences. And this is richer because it's like having both eyes open, with No Self you have just the one. It can be done anywhere, at any time, the concept of distractions no longer applies, all of it is direct experience. Do this for a while and boredom will cease to exist. It's no longer about silencing the monkey mind, or something like a Meister Eckhart style, the emptying will happen naturally as you go beyond the imagined limits of your human mind. The reason you no longer need to quiet the monkey mind is your baseline has evolved to a relatively purified human mind, which has the capacity to earnestly and patiently deconstruct itself until reaching God consciousness, whereas the monkey mind had to be silenced, splashed awake with water, or dissolved. There's still value for those occasionally, but they're no longer mandatory. One could argue technicalities how this is not really meditation, that's up to individual interpretation.

What if the MAGA logo was deliberately placed there to filter out the most reactive and closeminded people, because what follows is more radical than MAGA could ever be. Probably not, I'm just saying it as a thought experiment to always be vigilant about assumptions.

Agreed, that's a pretty accurate summary. I recently had an insight into a related matter with a bit of a twist.

Indeed it is. One of the first things that's much simpler to see from 'one is all' perspective is that the entirety of God is right here, right now, in your teacup. The very notion of perspective only exists in duality. You can explore and tweak this from endless angles, each direction completely bottomless, and it always converges back to One in the most beautiful mindfuck. Inconceivable states of consciousness could be reached this way, not possible or at least much more challenging to get to when you're stuck at 'all is one' because there's no one left to inquire into anything. But you as God can inquire into yourself forever and still still surprise yourself. 'Regular' nonduality doesn't explain how Truth is Love, why there's evil, doesn't let you see divine intelligence in stupidity and mundane, doesn't allow for holding paradox simultaneously beyond simply collapsing it, and so on. That's just the basics and there's higher gears beyond.

I made a playlist for study of mental illness, primarily schizophrenia simulations and interviews, it needs some more content though. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIEFsHjIryOepjLZKhIoFeLZVUmScGyaA People haven't the first clue how deep mind goes.

That's a good start to grasp the differences. The short of it is, in my own words, is realizing Multiplicity is just as absolute as Unity. Depending on the depth of reading this might sound stupid or simplistic, but contemplate and maybe you'll get somewhere. There's also many blog posts, some of them very recent, that highlight the distinctions.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit without having finished it yet. Prime is a great channel for programming-adjacent topics, even if you only do it as a hobby like me. Despite the shit Lex gets over here lately, rightfully so, the quality of guests, questions, and conversation is still way above Joe Rogan, especially in these more grounded, stage orange discussions that Lex himself is comfortable and knowledgeable in. This gives quite a bit of insight into the workings of the programming industry. There were some pleasantly surprisng bits as well (psychedelics & God talked about in passing), addiction, and at the very beginning when they talk about what got them into programming, mention and describe recursion, it hit me that it's another facet of Infinity that I've been experiencing lately, in many ways. Highly recommended watch.

I get it now. Think I heard a bit of an ambulance siren in there as well, leading me to believe you collapse on the street from a heart attack or something. There's some clues one can get from the track/file names in the picture you posted. Right you are. Though theoretical knowledge is still required for the thing I want to make, it will be classical. But I realized that's one of the easier parts, most important is hearing the thing in your head. And if we really get advanced, nothing's stopping you from accessing Mozart consciousness or general music composition consciousness and getting it very directly from the source. I have some fleeting experience with that. One of my favorite styles are megamixes, you take 20+ songs and blend them seamlessly. You can get a lot of inspiration from that. https://youtu.be/0GE1U7FChz8 or https://youtu.be/K0pEuNbrxHk (thanks Keryo)

We have a big storm coming on in my city, as I'm looking out the window I see this little bird struggling against the gusts of wind, and I see God imagining itself as these powerful forces impacting the bird it's imagining itself as, taking place on an imaginary planet, suspended in imaginary space, at an imaginary point in time. And I see God imagining itself as me looking at this whole scene and having insights into itself. In one instant a drop of rain on my window appeared as another bird, far above in the clouds. Through such perspective tricks, I became conscious of the inverse of consciousness. And that tears me up, the stunning beauty of it along with the realization that the entire weight of reality is always there, but somehow consciousness manages to obscure and dilute itself such that this goes unseen. The pen beside my bed is the whole of God, and just as God can't not be God, this pen can't not be here right now. I see how this moment is simultaneously the perfect metaphor of the struggle of finite incarnations against the fundamental impermanence of reality, and how the struggle itself is a persistent fantasy, it's all running like a well-oiled machine, perfect as it could ever be, even the tiny grains of sand that seemingly slow down the gears work together with the whole system to pace it harmonically. Thank you, thank God, thanks everyone here, and thank myself, we forged the lenses I see all this through together.

Had a follow-up insight regarding my second sentence. It's deeply connected to Impermanence, when you're this small fragile ego you can't stand impermanence, you want to subsist no matter the cost, you want to own and dominate parts of reality, so in that way you impede God's Will of full self-expression, or rather resist it, because there's no way to thwart it. Life must go on without you, be content with being a temporary, but essential part of the cycle of Division and Unity, and remember that you can never truly die, what awaits after that is still God.

Will and desire have a deep mutual relationship. God's Will is the desire to express itself fully. Yes, aligning yourself to God's Will (part of which are the needs and wants of your fellow humans) indeed reduces hurt and leads to incredible fulfillment. It won't eliminate pain, more likely will add to it, but you'll be too conscious to mind. Something I noticed reading forum drama and from observation in general - all offense and negative emotional reactions to things are False. There's two ways you can get offended, either by truth, when someone points something out about you that you don't want to admit, so you blow up and project, that's the most common way. And the second is the opposite, when someone says false things about you, like spreading rumors that you're a thief or rapist when you're a really virtuous person. But notice something, you get triggered because your identity is being undermined, and this limited human identity, however saintly you've made it, is still False, your only real Identity is God. Offense is always a defense. Defense of what? Not of Being, Truth, God – those don’t need defending. They can’t be threatened. It’s always a defense of some construct: a story, an identity, a preference, an image.

Is that right? So do I with Davino, we already talked via video and should meet IRL at some point. Why not make it a threesome?

Self-Love, How to Fall in Love with Life, The Power of Not-Knowing, What is Will, The Exquisite Balance of Life are in my top 5, without any ranking internally. Will and Not Knowing are particularly underrated/obscure ones, but they've been some of the crucial missing pieces to the puzzle of reaching entirely new consciousness levels for me. How Your Mind Interprets Reality is an honorable mention. This is tough because they're all very good, even the relatively tame ones are leagues above your standard YouTube videos.
