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: Anonymous Coward 15534724


Spirituality is the process of proactively discovering your

personal connection with the Creator, from a path of inner seeking. It is a self assessment of your own thoughts,

attitudes, and beliefs, the ability to consciously close off some of those things you have previously accepted and open yourself to new spiritual concepts.

This is known as spiritual advancement.

When a person is willing to learn and apply the principles of divinity in their life, they have spirituality evolved. Divinity helps you outwardly perceive the love and compassion in others,

you recognise that each person is a spiritual being and understand that each person are at different levels of spiritual growth.

When you incorporate divinity as an integral part of yourself and begin to externalise this “Christ” energy, the very nature of your reality changes.

Thank you.

Aren't you aware you are real because of consciousness?

Chaol says consciousness does not exist. So, what are we? I can buy into a non-physical being, a spirit, dark matter...but all with consciousnesses.

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.

Agreed. However, Chaol says not to seek enlightenment. I gather he does not believe in Divinity.

Maybe the question is what is divinity?

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.

From my understanding, unity with the observer is the enlightened state. However, it seems to me Chaol is saying not to chase enlightenment, but learn how we create our perspective. What's the difference or is it just language?

And, how does an observer explore perspectives without consciousness? The website says consciousness does not exist.

Thanks.

@Marshwiggle. In the example you gave of Chaol contradicting himself, he can't really say he is an alien because our worlds are merging.

He must also be very human looking if he can hang out in our world on the streets and not have black ops. show up, LOL!

So, I would say the term human is appropriate with the understanding that we are quickly moving away from physicality.

Why do you think this is true? If there is only one observer (perspective) you, then "unity with the observer" is all you ever experience.

Other "people" are (as I see it) representations (of yourself) that you experience in the "second person" or "third person". You directly experience and observe only in "first person".

Consciousness in the way we define it, exists only in the way these bodies exist or the computers we are using to post to this site exist.

As I see it, consciousness is a buzzword used to define that set of relationships that define a self-correcting-feedback loop we see in ourselves and others. It's a software program, a user interface for the "observer". But since nothing Truly exists, we can pick any word or topic and say it doesn't exist and be right... I just don't think we really understand this concept of existence anyway.

If we don't really understand what it means to say something exists, we can hardly say something doesn't.

We can use other buzzwords like "nothing", "illusion" "simulation" or "dream" but... it's all the same. A rose by any other name and all that.

We know that we're experiencing "this", whatever "this" is. Now whether this is "real" or not is not relevant, it's real enough. I don't really see it being all that useful to see our experience as an illusion.

It seems to me that it's more useful to recognize that our experience within perspective is exactly what takes the least amount of energy (number of interactions) to experience with the logic (we perceive ourselves confined to) and the possibility space we have for it to play out.

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.

Discovered by the observer. You, that point of awareness.
 Quoting: Jesse Sovoda




From my understanding, unity with the observer is the enlightened state. However, it seems to me Chaol is saying not to chase enlightenment, but learn how we create our perspective. What's the difference or is it just language?

And, how does an observer explore perspectives without consciousness? The website says consciousness does not exist.

Thanks.

@Marshwiggle. In the example you gave of Chaol contradicting himself, he can't really say he is an alien because our worlds are merging.

He must also be very human looking if he can hang out in our world on the streets and not have black ops. show up, LOL!

So, I would say the term human is appropriate with the understanding that we are quickly moving away from physicality.
 Quoting: Unit3


Why do you think this is true? If there is only one observer (perspective) you, then "unity with the observer" is all you ever experience.

Other "people" are (as I see it) representations (of yourself) that you experience in the "second person" or "third person". You directly experience and observe only in "first person".

Consciousness in the way we define it, exists only in the way these bodies exist or the computers we are using to post to this site exist.

As I see it, consciousness is a buzzword used to define that set of relationships that define a self-correcting-feedback loop we see in ourselves and others. It's a software program, a user interface for the "observer". But since nothing Truly exists, we can pick any word or topic and say it doesn't exist and be right... I just don't think we really understand this concept of existence anyway.

If we don't really understand what it means to say something exists, we can hardly say something doesn't.

We can use other buzzwords like "nothing", "illusion" "simulation" or "dream" but... it's all the same. A rose by any other name and all that.

It makes sense that we only observe from the first person.
So do you feel I am a representation of you? (That would make you a representation of me so I don't see how this works.) Or is there one being seeing itself as many?

How can you say nothing truly exists? Do you feel you do not exist? How can there be an observer if nothing exists?

Do you feel Chaol has complete control of all of his perspectives?

Thanks for the conversation. I like exploring these thoughts. I'll watch the video, thanks!

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
I thought I'd better start over reading Chaol's posts and look what I just found:

Thread: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.

Everything truly exists. Like I mention above, When something cannot be fully perceived, it appears infinite.

Our language also enables us to perceive these alternate realities, if we want. One alterate realm is this one.

You exist in multiple realms now, at every moment. You could traverse hundreds of thousands of different possibilities in one day without knowing it.

So most of those bold statements are my understanding (before I met Chaol) of myself as spirit.

Edit: Found a contradiction:

Thread: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking. (Page 2)

"The answers" in the universe apply to everyone, not just an infinitesimally small percentage of the population.

We look to scientists for these answers because they're doing things that we don't understand. It is no different than how (in the past) we look to the religious elite for the answers.

But the answers are not found in science or religion or any one particular aspect of the schools and politics that we have created.

The answers are universal and have more to do with consciousness and perception.

I think Chaol believes in universal law.


And this poster asked Chaol how could there not be consciousness....Chaol asked him what consciousness is to him. Here are both their answers:

Thread: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking. (Page 2)

Consciousness to me..hmm that would be my own perception of myself, my awareness of my own being.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 757374


Excellent!

Then the question for you then is, What do you consider your "self"?

If it is your body, then what do you do with a part of your self when you clip your nails or cut your hair? If it is only the 'living' part of your body that you consider your self, where does your self go when you lose a pound?

What is your self when you are dreaming?

"Self" by itself is a bit difficult to pin. Perhaps because the usual basic assumptions about what self is could be expanded.

If it is "awareness of my own being" as you mentioned, then what does it mean to be aware of another being?

Thanks.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
I forgot about this:

Thread: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking. (Page 2)

chaol says:


"It is interesting to me to see how it is assumed that cultures "obsessed" with entertainment and celebrity must be devolving.

We are learning how to use our minds more abstractly through fantasy. It doesn't matter what the fantasy is. What matters is that we are creating relationships that did not previously exist in our cognitive framework. Our fantasies are becoming richer. These kinds of mental exercises will lead most of us into a world based on mind rather than physicality.

Re: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
Here's Chaol explaining consciousness:

Thread: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking. (Page 2)


"It was that consciousness is more about relationships between things than being fully aware of something.

One cannot be fully aware of anything. Consciousness is more of an illusion of the senses.

There is only "mind" and "senses" when one considers the influence of physically-based thinking.

It is not as easy to illustrate this when we're attached to the meaning of the words, having no others available.

It's all about perspective. Within perspective you could say there is consciousness, mind, senses, etc. But it is not the same as what we're used to."



Edit: Here we go:

Thread: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking. (Page 3)

"We create representations to 'define' our self all the time. It is this group of representations that create the world you see. (Ecsys defines consciousness as the relationship between representations.)"

And look at this:

Thread: Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking. (Page 3)

"Can you explain the timing of your appearance in our world/ Why now and why on this forum (or have you appeared before)?

Does it have anything to do with the upcoming shift of this sphere to Fourth Density?
Quoting: Blake


Hello!

I'm a part of this world so thus interact accordingly, visiting websites, sipping drinks, and walking about.

I've not before been on this forum so am curious as to why my posting ID is lower than most others.

It is possible that other perspectives of mine have visited before. But I'm pretty sure I would know about it (kind of similar to knowing what your sister would do in a situation, except the sense is more vast)."

So this part about Chaol's other perspectives brings up a question.....we have more than one perspective!

Verrrry interesting. This doesn't sound like another self in another timeline.
