Bingo!

Timestamped where the juice begins. I don't know a better one than this, but maybe it's not a hidden gem, just a gem.

If consciousness is an emergent property of the brain, then it's probably possible. Aren't we under the impression that the brain/biological systems are the way absolute consciousness expresses itself in form? Im going to cop out here and say how or why is mysterious God stuff that is beyond my human level of comprehension.

@OBEler The more interesting question to me is, how can natural intelligence individuals have their own subjective experience if consciousness is fundamental (and One)

I'd say it's more of an inevitability - Infinity, bursting through

I don't quite enjoy the self-assured smiley face at the end of that statement, as I do not agree with it. All noise is internal, it is all happening within awareness.

Isn't one of the main ideas of meditation to find the silence in the midst of noise

To be perfectly fair, there is always some sound, unless you are in a sensory deprivation tank. Having music on, is kind of like a way to shut your ears for the external (random) noise with specific noise you have chosen. Without music, you are still not meditating in complete silence. You don't have to be concentrating on the music, but just let it be in the background and act on your subconscious without any conscious effort. Lets ignore the title, this is a nice playlist.

Another take on this (I wrote my post before I saw yours but then I saw you already went there :D) I am is the highest truth; There is no me.

I'd say dont ask what it is you are afraid of, but try to find out what it is that is afraid, classic self enquiry - moving away from the object being experienced - fear - and toward the one knowing it / illuminating it, the Self.

Hi, I am channeling God "is" Your love life or life in general is not written by anyone - not by you, it is a natural happening/appearance, more like growth and nature, not like a scripted movie. There will be no victimhood and blaming.

As a guy who jumped during psychosis, i can say, it hurts like fk. No, in a dream at night it doesn't. No consequences in a dream. In waking? My bones are slowly healing and I am in pain every time I walk. God did not catch me and stop me from falling. I did not turn into a wave and start flying. A network of specialists patched me up and got me back.
