In my dream last night I knew exactly how to assign value to things to make it useful to my experience. When I woke up I could not remember how I did it.

The three suns are close to alignment? Can you feel the earth's spin slowing?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5877556




I noticed more quietness which I guess could be attributed to the earth's spin. But, this is where I get confused, isn't this our perceptions? Aren't we assigning meaning to our experiences so we can understand it?

I will say that until the shooting today, even the front page of GLP was calm for a couple of days. One evening, there weren't even any doom threads pinned.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
How long would we have if the note was a calculation based on the speed of the expansion of the universe a a 5 of light speed and the note is from somebody in another universe coming at us at a speed that is,
a) slight slower than light speed so we get a 3 hour window to prevent a collision.

b) slightly faster than the speed of light so we get the news 3 hours after the collision has already taken place.

How would the notes differ?
 Quoting: MHz


How is it possible for them to differ? Time is relative.
 Quoting: Jesse Sovoda

I'm thinking that if the combined speed is slightly less than the speed of light and I happen to be looking in the right direction and I first spot it and it is doing 25% it will appear to me to be moving faster than it is, at 75% the closing rate will appear to be even faster. At anything over 100% (combined) it would not ever be visible as coming at me.

Go look at some optical illusion pictures. Apparently as you change the view it is actually your thought process moving from one side of your brain to the other. Do the pics one better and determine a person's personality based on the first image seen and the speed at which the other image is seen is how 'balanced' the person is with 'abstract thought' and 'logical thought'. Here are 65 samples and religion pics doesn't have any more/less points than any other and some have 6 different pics in them rather than 2.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
To understand how you create perception look back at the airplane picture on the ecsys website. Now let's substitute today's events to make things more clear. When you have all of the props (the school, ambulances, police, SWAT team, a story about a shooter) and actors (grieving parents, grieving teachers, news media, other students) you don't actually need any harmed children. That part of the story is like the airplane. You will never see any real evidence that any children were actually harmed, because they were not harmed, it's not necessary because the other relationships tell you it must be real.

 Quoting: MHz


The "top speed" of perception would have to be considered from each perspective. Once it becomes relative enough to you to be perceived it is confined to the conditions most logical to you. If there is no limit to perspective, I suppose you'd perceive it as is instead of limited by your narrative.
Consider the possibility that you order yourself into being from chaos... You do this, always, in all ways. This "ordering" has resulted in the possibilities you're experiencing, here, now. In each experience you've ever had, more and more of "this" reality is generated logically from your previous experience. Your observation of this unfolding of order and chaos is reality.

Well, my logic says that after looking at a bunch of these images last night before going to bed, I had freaky dreams. One of them involved me eating through a membrane to find a classroom of children and teacher stuck in 1959....being told Africa is in another time line and other things including magic.

Anyway, I woke in the night with a headache in the third eye with 3 wavy lines going from the center of it out in different directions.

Before I met Chaol, I would attach meanings to these dreams. Now I assume it's just an opening of space....the rest is immaterial.

It wouldn't take long to find out who has epilepsy triggered by trying to focus on red and blue at the same time. lol

If you are into mind over body check out the 50 some eye-exercises that train you to self control the shape of your eye so you have perfect vision in 'telescope mode' or close-up wide angle. The palming one started out black with shooting lights sometimes. Later the blackness took on a bluish-gray that took over the black. That repeated itself and the background color changed over the time I did it. I already had glasses so the rest were read and parked for if I ever lost my glasses.

How about the time when sidewalk art isn't art?

I haven't kept up with the VR hardware for a decade but with things like gOOgle street view and some blueprints couldn't I build a VR set that I could turn into a 3 degrees of motion ride for the rec room or little trailer in the garage that could be linked for a weekend club event.
Dial up a 'quiet horse' and take the recorded view of some wilderness falls that is I-max quality with dial in wildlife setting so no momma grizzly is going to pop up. Trails could even be fed to the treadmills at the gyms if they purchase the 'items'

Did I mention the flight sims that operate out of the Caribou Mountains and can strike Edmonton or Calgary in a different sim that allows them to see races going on in 'real time'.
For the really bored and the one I was on had you feeling the tar marks on the runway which was cool, that it was an F-16 stuck on full throttle was also cool but a hang-glider over Angel falls would be better if you could do the driving yourself. For the gear-head Acme hardware has the parts to VR your daily driver in about 10 minutes just but a custom fit tub for a F-1 and enjoy being upside down and other g-force possibilities when run on a gyro platform and 220V motors. Cup holders still an option as an occasional hose down will be needed.

Movie companies already have a vast archive of art that could be transferred into interactive 3D at home, make the hardware free and charge for data sets or free data (and mods) and make money on hardware rather than both which leaves you with no customers at all.

 Quoting: Unit3

Apparently idling the mind allows for random firing of 'keep things moving'.

One exercise that I was shown was to last 15 minutes or no more than 30 min in which (if you did have a headache) was to tell the muscles in your body to relax starting at the toes and fingers and working you way yo to telling your head to relax. Not getting them in the first place was the better solution, but that exercise also ended up in 'strange thoughts' being able to be held back for longer and longer the more it was practiced. Being able to not thing about something for that long is as 'healthy' as being able to focus on something specific for that long.

Not really sure is this applies to the thread theme.

How about a 'business' where words that are known trigger devices can be played to you in your dreams are packaged and the 'customer; is people who want to guide how their dreams start off, picking up where you left of isn't available in the 'base model'. lol

No. The forum, thread, usernames, posts, etc. are props that, with interaction, create the perception of 'other people'. The posters would only say they are real because you believe yourself- and your perceptions- to be real.

When you have all of the props (the school, ambulances, police, SWAT team, a story about a shooter) and actors (grieving parents, grieving teachers, news media, other students) you don't actually need any harmed children. That part of the story is like the airplane. You will never see any real evidence that any children were actually harmed, because they were not harmed, it's not necessary because the other relationships tell you it must be real.

You're real, I'm real, Chaol is real...I bet every poster on this thread would say they are real.

Straight question here and I would like a straight answer:

Do you feel you are real?

How would you go about proving it to yourself?

By being a drama queen and creating perceptions.

No. The forum, thread, usernames, posts, etc. are props that, with interaction, create the perception of 'other people'. The posters would only say they are real because you believe yourself- and your perceptions- to be real.

'Cat Carel' is a means of exploring values in my perspective, as is my laptop, car, kitten, and shampoo.

Sure, it's all props....but are you saying you are not real? Not meaning the props, but whoever is exploring values?

Btw, does anyone know what Chaol meant by 'GLP is not on the internet'?

Will add a link to the post; forget which thread it was.
 Quoting: CatCarel




And if Chaol is so in charge of his perceptions, why is he living in a world that he doesn't like as much as this world? Why does he have a girlfriend that can only stay in his world a short time?

I'm not doubting Chaol....I really believe he doesn't have all the answers himself.
