Not sure what this means. I don't see a gold elephant anywhere on the API picture so how could I possibly connect to it? I'd imagine having about the same luck trying to stick a plug into a wall outlet while totally blindfolded and unaware of my surroundings. The golden elephant is something Beavis apparently created and left behind "inside" the pyramid. If you go there and see it, you'll know you're in the right place.  |

When I got there the gold colored statue of the elephant appeared to already be there. Maybe I just made that part of Astral Pulse Island stronger, or maybe I put it there and didn't know it (which is common in the way minds work). Its hard to know which parts were real and which parts were illusions created by my brain, but after talking to Tayesin and a few others who say they were there with me, I know at least the gold statue of the elephant and the big room it was in was seen by others.
The picture of Astral Pulse Island is only the first idea to put in your head so your thought patterns align to others, so when paranormal things happen they are organized in a way we can experience together. You could just as easily use a random picture or word or anything else. It doesn't mean where it takes you is anything like that. It is what we make it merged with what was already there.

Welcome back beavis !
Pretty good TK video you have similar in quality to those of youtuber darrylsloan.
Like you I've been studying AI secretly. AGI would be more correct term. There are only a handful of people in the world who know this 3 letter word, its a big thing. Also I'm secretly keeping an eye on transhuman stuff and singularity stuff, which are somewhat more popular these days.
The purpose of getting into AGI is to know the possibility of creating an artificial consciousness like our own. (whether it is physical or non-physical is not of any concern). Or how to get something closely resembling it using machines. Other purpose is to study the possibility of transferring our consciousness to non-organic substrates, so that we are freed from the need of dying.
I've not yet tried going to API seriously, but now that you have recharged this forum, I will ....
I just got an idea of creating a 3D version of API, something like a game. I have a good command on 3dsMax to create realistic models and know enough programming to put it into an open source 3D engine like Irrlicht. So we will have a game (just like Secondlife) where we can put stuff that is there on real(?) API, so that you can walk around the virtual API and train your mind to do it while in Astral. Much better than a photoshopped picture you have now.
I'd like to know if you or anyone else here is interested in this....

Why secretly? I'm 1 of those rare people working on AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). I chose the user-interface of realtime interactive music so it could access subconscious psychology easier. Most people think I chose music because its mainly a music program and I don't plan for it to become really advanced. They see things in the context of how businesses do things, usually giving up on major improvements the first time they find a way to repeatedly make profit. AGI means you don't stop making it more advanced until it is the one doing the programming instead of you. "There are only a handful of people in the world who know this 3 letter word, its a big thing." I met some of them when I lived in California. They tend to think I'm nuts because of the psychic/paranormal/etc stuff. I'm logical like them, but I have other ways of thinking too, more on the experimenting side instead of calculating. Ben Goertzel is the only one I know of who is working on AGI and also thinks of ways to possibly create an AGI that has psychic abilities. I recently responded to some of his writing here http://hplusmagazine.com/2011/01/18/is-god-an-alien-mathematician (Submitted by Ben F Rayfield on February 6, 2011 at 3:21 am.) but the writing about AGI and psi is various parts of http://multiverseaccordingtoben.blogspot.comI don't know if API is still there, since I haven't been there in years and am not as skilled as I used to be at navigating out there or going out there at all. A 3d version of Astral Pulse Island (API) would probably become a subject of argument about which things are and are not there, since naturally API is not 1 place but a lot of versions of it that gravitate together depending on who is there at the time. Its part of the multiverse. Creating a simulation of it could confuse people more. The entry point is supposed to be thinking about the picture at http://astralpulse.com/astralpulseisland.html Extra entry points would not be a problem, but I don't know if your simulation would be an entry point to API or to something else. |

I thought about making an API with Hammer editor but I decided against it since I only kind of know what the front of it looks like. I figured it would be easier to try and create an astral version of a game environment that I already know inside out. I used to try and phase into the de_dust and dust2 maps from counter-strike source. There are so many people out there who know those maps intimately that it might be relatively easy for us to make an astral version if enough of us got together. |

Nono, that's a great idea! Adds your own personal flare to it. That should actually increase your chances of visiting API. You'll just perceive things in your own personal way. |

Hi, I'm Summerlander! I'm a mod in Astral Viewers. I think I've been to this island. I think I also saw Frank Kepple there building things. My experience is on AVers.

Why secretly?
Because I live in a society where people think this is crazy and make your life a little less comfortable. Good to know you are at it , keep us posted on your progress. Yes, Ben G is in the lead at this time and he is open to paranormal. I did not meet him but have exchanged a few Emails. He is a genius as well as a very friendly chap. There must be some AGI researchers who are hidden admirers of paranormal but who do not wish to become public (Its impossible to ignore paranormal when you are trying to create a mind). Now about the 3D version of API, I see what you mean by extra entry points. Well everyone has his/her own version anyway. I will think more about it. In my recent attempt I could visualize the pyramid and zoomed in on its base. That was in trance not in OBE. I think I also saw Frank Kepple there building things Its interesting to know that you could do that. Does that mean you have seen him in real life or is there any picture of him somewhere online ? If yes, can anyone post a link. Maybe I could page him astrally to see whats up with him. |

I saw a picture of him before when I was reading about his Wider Reality concept. The funny thing is that when I had my OOBE I didn't even wish to see him nor API. It was either him or someone that resembled him very closely - if it wasn't a manifestation of my unconscious mind (he seemed sentient though). I posted the experience in Astral Viewers in the OBE/AP Experiences forum. Our API thread is a sticky. I don't know where to find the pic now but Xanth might be able to sort you out.  |
