Emotion are infections because you are nothing, certainly nothing that can be fit in as small a box as an emotion, these are passing things that make you perceive and associate a certain way, chocolate affects your hormones, release dopamine, and you feel happier for a while.... you are infected with chocolate happiness....but you certainly wouldn't say you ARE happiness.

Chaol talks about making genius maps and mentions the hard part is finding what we want... well what we want is unity, to experience the all and totality of our existence, the separation is what causes our suffering. But that is void of experience and realization.

I think the idea is a sort of surrender, where we give up thought and start "thinking with our heart, and feeling with our mind" opening up to our perceptions, and trying to create the mot unity by embodying that which i closest to the source fabric of the universe (something akin to love)

WHen we realize if we had super power and can do anything, how long till we would get bored? The all know better so surrender to it, realize we have everything we need. We don't know anything and thus get to be surprised by ourselves, gifting ourselves through all time. Where are you right now?

THe all only wants us (itelf) to be happy and we only wanna be happy, easy right... so be happy. Unfortunately not that easy, so relax into it. Chaol's four rules of not making expectations, judging, being honest, doing new things. These help us open up to more of ourselves and thus receive more and more and are happier and happier.

Perhaps the genius is just a way of guiding karma. The universe doesn't judge or pick the side of good or evil... it picks you. so the universe gives you what you focus on, focus on your highest embody meant of yourself and love and you will receive it.

There is nothing to do but surrender and experience. Look at the cloud, touch a tree, focus on feeling the water when you wash your hands instead of thinking about how you are getting clean. If you aren't doing that, can you really say you are commited to learning what chaol i teaching, if we ignore i initial 4 guidelines? Get out of your head and live!

P.S. fulfilled a genius map the other day. A little scandalous so all I can say is that it was me plus "dua" ladies on my bed ;)

If you find you are attaching your identity to anything... you will suffer... because that is not you

U3, just a heads up I'll make a post about EC and answer your question in a few hours to a day. I have been meaning to get around to posting some hints but haven't been practicing with it much lately.

However, I think I am finally at the point where I more or less understand what he is getting at with the language.

A crash course in telepathy.

1) Find a willing partner. (Er.. one who is patient)

2) Have your partner visualize an object that you know and wait 5-10 seconds to tell you.

3) During this 5-10 second period, try to visualize what your partner is seeing in their mind.

4) At the end of 5-10 seconds, your partner tells you what object he/she was thinking of

5) Quickly repeat from step 2

6) Do this hundreds (or thousands) of times

You would then (likely) be able to know more about what he/she is thinking, and possibly other persons with whom you have some interaction.

I guess all of "us" are the same heh



Someone has finally figured it out! :)




The reality that is best to merge with (regardless of the usage of terms) is the one that is easiest, following the Law of Energy Perspective:

"we perceive that which takes the least amount of energy to perceive."

Cheapest isn't always the best when you're shopping at Target, but in terms of the big picture (what you'd call the universe and everything of it) cheapest also happens to be the best. It's quite efficient in this way.

Actually, whatever reality you're experiencing is working quite well (the process, at least).

Practically-speaking though (for this rest of this post), if you're not happy with your reality then do not focusing on changing it. Focus, instead, on changing the representations.

The relationships of the representations create the reality that you experience.

It could be that what's holding you back is a little object in the corner of the room.

Why do most people like to get out of town on holiday? Because they're (mostly) surrounded by a new set of representations.

However, it's not the size of the representation that matters. It's the effect that makes the difference.

Start thusly:

1) Try re-arranging the representations you have, in order to change your relationship with the things they represent. For example, this could be putting some photos you have in an album on the wall. Or moving the furniture around in your living room. Or sleeping on the other side of the bed, or getting a new bed. It could be taking an object you really love and giving it to someone else.

Shake up your world! If you want a new reality then learn to manage the one you have, not just live in it.

You are surrounded by representations. This isn't just hyperbole. These representations embody every thought you have, every experience you've had, and everything that is happening to you right now.

2) Find out what the representations are by seeing the effect of your having re-arranged them. It might be subtle but can still be noticed.

3) Change the representations. Even the ones you think are not doing any 'harm' in your reality could be the ones holding you back. Perhaps your trophies from high school in your bedroom are holding you back and giving you the idea that your prime is over. It could be that your ring from university or old love letters are what's holding you back. Even if you don't see or experience the representations every day they still exist in the physical map of your mind. You know where they are, and they're still a part of or close to your physical reality and that is what makes the difference.

What do you change your representations to? Anything that takes the least amount of energy is good for now (until it is no longer). Do not assume that you know the best representation for something (you probably don't, and it's probably counter-intuitive). Just go with the one that takes the least amount of energy. Instead of representing a lost love by looking for a Barbie doll, just go with the magazine that happens to lay next to you. Maybe it's a travel magazine and you'd get in touch with her when you take a trip. Then you will begin to see how your reality works.

Not only do we "we perceive that which takes the least amount of energy to perceive" but we also create that which takes the least amount of energy to create.

Hope this helps.

This is good, but can you be (much more) exact than that?

Again, "we perceive that which takes the least amount of energy to perceive".

So what you're probably doing is allowing yourself to pretend that you are a professional golfer for a short burst of time, because that is the 'reality' that utilizes the least amount of energy.

Ever feel like a professional golfer when you're playing golf on PS3?

If you tell the universe "I want to be a successful professional golfer" Sony's device is probably where it would direct you (or xbox, or a book about Jack Nicklaus, or a golf open, or...). You get the idea.

Tell me exactly what you want to experience and make it hard for the universe to send you to your xbox!

Make it easier, instead, for the universe to give you exactly what you want.

That's why we create a set of rules with the Genius. Because we don't take "umm... not this time, buddy" for an answer!

A note:

This works because you are learning how to already perceive what was already there.

You just have to "convince" your mind that you're worthy of it.

"Show me now, dammit! I'm sick of waiting 5-10 seconds!"

And then it happens.

But, again, with telepathy "we perceive that which takes the least amount of energy to perceive" so stop trying to think of stuff. Just let it occur to you.

It works more with those with whom you have a connection. (But sometimes, your assumptions with what they might be thinking would get in the way. So sometimes it is easier to think of what an acquaintance is thinking than a best friend.)

[to add: you perceiving what was already there is no different than your friend perceiving what was already there when s/he thinks of it. Sometin to tink about.]

To follow up, these relationships are your reality. You don't remember something because it's stored in your brain. You remember it because of the mental and physical map of representations that you are working with.

Nothing else "exists" besides the relationships between one representation to every other. (Nothing)

This is somewhat a paradox because the representation is not real, per se. But the relationship between one thing to another makes it real*.

Ever have a memory of something that "didn't happen"? Or deja vu? The relationships create and re-create your memories and experience, at every moment. Most times you don't even know when your memory has changes, because there is correlation with the rest of your representations (artefacts, friends, etc.)

We can take relationships from home with us when we move or go to work (by living in the mental map, so to speak).

Find new representations (mentally and physically), and you've found a new reality.

*There is a gem in there more important than Einstein's famous mass–energy equivalence. It takes us back to the 'beginning of the universe' when there were no representations to the end, and everything in between. The enterprising mind will find out what it is! (Or not.)

Just for the hell of it, let's figure out this "gem."



He made the statement one time to figure out the origin of our existence. I think this "gem" is related.

How did we first start using geogrpahy of relationships? After all, we don't exist unless we observe!!!!!!!!

What is it exactly that you think he is trying to say here?

@U3

What if all of this does "exist" and we don't. We may be "nothing" in the way the nothing within a box is the primary substance within the "space" the box occupies? What if our awareness is as a result of the shape of the environment (geometry of relationships) in the same way the nothing within a box is shaped by the box itself?

@U3

Yep, and it's the awareness(space and shape or possibility and logic if you prefer) that lends meaning(representation or symbol) to the otherwise meaningless unobserved geometry (box).

@U3

The meaning is "lent" in the interaction between th representations. So the nothing within a box is something when you consider the shape the nothing holds as it is provided it's shape by the box.

The act of observing (interacting) with some kind logic(the shape of a box) within a possibility space(the inside of the box) yields an experience of a representation or symbol within perspective.

The box cannot exist without us observing it and we cannot observe without the box... It's all nothing and both presume the other into perspective.

Itself

Observing Itself with what?

The question does not compute. Its like asking fill in the blank:

The shape of the space within the box is shaped by _______.

Answer: the box.

Observation is executed by the ______.

Answer: the observer.
