@realtimeai the answer I think is even odder? The “energy” we’re normally using in awareness is normally dedicated to making things harden/congeal for the illusion of stability, the self being where most of the energy goes. As attention gets more stable and clearer these start to…
Joscha Bach defines vibes as empathic resonance and considers how we could vibe with machines

The more I think about it the more obnoxious I find the Biden administration’s “Gee whiz, I sure hope Israel doesn’t drag us into a giant war in the middle east” posturing and the imperial media’s facilitation of it. CNN has a new article out titled “As Iran attacks Israel,…
I think the idea that you can only access vast wholesome joy on demand after months of sitting in a cave sharpening your concentration is looking increasingly suspicious. I think a lot of people might be able to access it in vastly less time
I dare anyone intellectually honest to find a single lie in this UN speech by Iran. I personally couldn't. By contrast you have countries like the US, UK, France and Germany calling their attack "unjustifiable and highly irresponsible" (in the German Chancellor's words), which…

theory: dying is like ten stream entries at once, sense of self dissolving quickly, this should increase sensory clarity and concentration power a ton, so of course you see a nimitta (a bright white light) and feel a sense of coming home and love. You’re being thrust into samadhi
i used to think illusion research was frivolous, just intellectual toys. now I think the cause of suffering and felt-separation is illusions in consciousness meant to delude us, and understanding illusions better may be super impactful for humanity. underrated field!
Meditation prompt: notice how you're defending yourself against this moment, see if you can not do that for 10 seconds
In a society where products are made to generate profit instead of wellbeing, you've got to be conscious and selective about what goes into you. In a society where news media and punditry are produced based on the kind of ratings they will draw and how well they defend the…
Prof. Michael Hudson: "There's a blind spot in Western civilization, not only of how civilization really began in the ancient near East and then diffused, but also about the basic dynamic that has polarized western economies and is leading today to the western economies…
The mind can take just about any shape, e.g. mythical or mathematical, and tends to then turn around and mistake that shape for its own true nature
Tony Benn died 10 years ago today. His speech against the war in Iraq is as relevant now as it was when it was made 26 years ago.

one of the core themes of Levin's work is thinking of "cognition" as taking place at all levels of organization in biology – all the way down to organs, tissues, and genetic networks, and conversely all the way up to swarms of organisms and societies, and even the biosphere

Anti-Semitism on campuses in the United States is reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s. The world cannot stand idly by.
The short-sightedness of the Israeli gov is astonishing. It is ensuring that a big portion of an entire generation of Americans - including its next elite - will view Israel as a genocidal, apartheid state that threatens American democracy. This was Harvard earlier today.
