You’re quite right there are lower and lower levels of cognition, far below the soft mailable conscious awareness. These can be gotten at and programmed through will, yet still full of mystery.

I have fully mastered spatial visual projection. I was always imaginative, yet now it is as though a physical object is present in the “third eye”. These others do interesting things like sepia storyboards (show you a short visual skit). Ot

I didn’t hear “the voices” until after I was 30, though after over a decade I could look back and notice they were there all along (little clues that added up.) Not the same ones in character or identity mind you, they come and go, yet thei

The qubit is a dead end. Quantum holography will reveal there is much more information capacity in the quantum domain than spin disposition.

Could you cite examples of these claims? For the purpose of distinguishing good role models. I’m not an academic, though the topics I have followed have been informative and interesting.

I often feel the way Sabine looks and sounds in this video. It is actually uncanny how many topics Sabine touches upon in such an unreserved and brilliant way. She is a model for modern intellectual thought. I hope she is protected and pres

I’m shocked you elude to animals not having consciousness. I would say all life, even bacteria and ameba have consciousness, it is rather a matter of scale and biotechnology. Perhaps you confuse our capacity for consciousness with our biote

Hello, I am an ascendant being. I believe in moral and lawful violence. I have great sex, like pissing people off, and turn psychotic when bullied or coerced. What do you think an ascendant being is? Ascension is to be the fullest self. Asc

They are other humans who have conditioned themselves through decades of specialized training. There is a ruling class among us who themselves are slaves of this power. For every six oblivious people there may be one naturally sensitive. Fo

Well, these topics are useful mind fodder. Free will is the ability to be arbitrary as much as to be contrarian. I am a proponent that consciousness allows a singular resolve from constructive and destructive interference. This may not soun

I would like to drive a nail in the coffin of “deterministic causality” by at least two mechanisms. - In every scope there is a super scope which may influence in incalculable ways (however well their rules maybe understood.) Even in a mode

I have a pretty good idea actually, that it is apart of our psycho-spiritual humanity. Some rare fluke makes a small minority ill who cannot handle it and they go off the rails. Most who hear them are perfectly sane and learn not to externa

The voices are quite real and we are not alone in our own minds. I know, it’s like I’m telling you vampires and werewolves are real. And I don’t doubt some people have jumbled mixed signals and chemical imbalances which are confusing. The v

We tend to over estimate how long it takes to form good habits and under estimate how quickly bad habits form. Try exercise breaks (quick set of reps/stretch) or a game session (get back to work when you realize how much fun you’re hav

I subscribe to the idea that “they” are already here, and have been watching us for ten thousand years. They see all that we are and all that we do. Given such circumstance, what do you think might be made of us, and our pathological lies w

It is a determination of will which may make it otherwise. Savage power is mitigated by a civilizing accord. A righteous rule (lawful behavior) is that civilizing accord. Extend every right privilege and validation to others as one grants u
