[That]

That Faith is applied to the equation, I would say it is something miraculous. You yourself could not believe what happened as explained in your initial post. But you felt called to give it a shot anyway. That is amazing. I am happy you mentioned Jesus in your post too, as I am learning about him now.

Jesus taught- "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

How great is Faith, even if you were to have just a little of it? Or is it meant, that it is not something you measure. Because having it, whatever sum you imagine, can command even the atoms that constitute reality?

To me, what you have shown yourself and others is more than just energy play. I don't think it's how good your sales pitch is but whether there is an impetus for God, Love and Infinite Spirit.

I wanted to come here to comment after having my own interesting experiences today. Where what was shared reminded me of your post. Today is my day off work. I thought I'd be going to my usual coffee spot to relax and play a video game. Instead, I was greeted by Gods guiding spirit in more ways than one.

Last night I found myself in contemplation in an effort to reconcile views of One-ness and varying degrees of personalities/intelligences. This morning I awoke with a clearer understanding. Understanding a difference between Realization and Actualization.

Once I arrived at the coffee shop, a friend surprised me. He said he saw my car and decided to stop in and say hello. We spent our hour together sitting outside discussing God and the nature of reality. He shared with me his understanding, and I was able to relay to him this recent revelation between Realization and Actualization. Incredible how the timing worked out.

Afterwards I thought I'd be allowed to play my game- instead, an elderly gentleman- roughly 75 years of age started to talk with me. I welcomed his presence, it was all pleasant. As I listened to his stories he revealed quite a few different and incredible things. When he was just 8 years of age he was diagnosed as a, "medical phenomenon" by 6 representatives of mayo clinic. They gave him 4 weeks to live. He told his Mother it wasn't his time and so, he lived. He battled with seizures up to his 30's, he had epilepsy. One day, near drowning in his tub, he declared the epilepsy be removed from his life in Jesus' name. He is no longer an epileptic, having been cured that night. He gives all credit to God.

He is quite a charismatic man in his 70's and really interested in matters of God/Spirit. He shared his most recent book with me, which I purchased to show support and gratitude for our coming together. https://wallywoodministries.com/products/the-mystery-heavens-secret-story/ The Mystery: Heavens Secret Story

He told me, what brings him to tears often, is that God decided to reduce himself to the size of a sperm and live a human life. We were both gleefully tearful by the end of our time together.
This is also his website: https://therevelationfile.com/

Impressive for a 75 year old. He called our time together a, "Divine Appointment." That I am feeling moved by this Living Spirit today, in a way that is surprising and inspiring... I am urged to share. His story reminded me of yours, LightBeam. I am extremely happy you and your friend got to experience this Instant Healing. That is a blessing.

I pray these moments bring us closer in our personal experience and relationship with God. I seek union often, and now I realize to what degree I actualize this reality.

Aum-en ~

Thanks Volgerle,

Dad and I have been watching the last kingdom! King Alfred is a punk. 

  Thanks Jen. I just woke up from a dream with tubular structures and a "crowded" city. It made me chuckle to see that in the first few seconds of your video! I am digging the song. The visual blending with the singer is kind of freaky, lol. But I really like the vibe.

Good job, guiding everyone to positive outlooks. I felt that with the start of 2025 Earth had made a significant shift, more prominent. And it's true that the energy is strong, but it is neutral. What everyone does with it is their choice, but if decide to use it positively, the positivity will be many times greater than what we are used to. If someone choses to use it within negative beliefs and fears, the negativity as well will be enhanced. I see the splitting signs clearly.
I have noticed for myself enormous shift with tons of unexpected, extraordinary experiences and encounters with people in the physical and other beings/ETs in APs and dreams. And I am noticing that extra positivity in those who have chosen to stay positive no matter what we observe in the world. Even at work, I almost cant recognize my co-workers even executives who are becoming more positive and have initiated changes now that will take the company to a much needed positive direction.

Thanks LightBeam. I was scrolling through my journal tonight and saw your post, then noticed you were online. I never got around to commenting but appreciate your reply. Thank you~

I am noticing a lot of interesting progression in this last page alone. The OBE with the peacock angel- Joe concerned about his left side and his finger... Shortly after that, another OBE with my own left side and finger. Also noticing multi-purposed and multi-dimensional contact experiences. And even this focus on color as "sentient energy wave" and a guiding force in ones life.

It seems there's so much going on in the subconscious realms, making up much much more than what I am ordinarily able to comprehend. I wonder if we realize all the splendor that goes into our everyday, ordinary lives. I am grateful to notice these connections, and to feel guided. Though I have much to work through, I do desire to see it through and am made assured by this living and loving presence.

Good morning Astral Pulse.

I've not been experiencing astral projections in the traditional or common way they are so often understood. I have been experiencing very lucid waking moments, where my awareness exist on a peripheral layer compared to an awareness that identifies through an immediate material body. In this space, I am closer to my true self- like an article of cloth has been removed. This place, definitely feels, "out of body." At least, one of the bodies.

This space has been unique, because there are manifestations that occur here that sometimes make their way into the physical world. I've experienced this growing up. Once, a feather appeared out of thin air and then disappeared before touching the ground. And in another instance, a spoon had manifested and managed to stay here in the physical.

So I am updating my journal, sharing these moments, as there is a type of projection that is taking place- one I hope to learn from.   

These past few weeks, I have been having dreams with Jesus of Nazareth. He has been giving instructions to, "groups." Most notably, per direct experience, he told me I belong to a group, "orange." When I woke up, I felt very honored and accepted what occurred on the dream level as a gift from Jesus.

Around the same time, I have been making an effort to better understand "immaterial personalities," "group energies," and "greater beings" having once prayed sometime earlier in the year a desire to learn about color as a form of communication with this invisible, guiding Intelligence.

Jesus has spoken a couple more times in my dreams, though I can't remember the details. But the color orange has been working in both this material life and in a greater subconscious field. A customer once came to work wearing all orange, and as often as he comes to our store- we have never seen him in the unique color combination, even his tennis shoes matched his shirt. He told us he was trying something different, and I felt like sharing with him the dream about being gifted the color orange. We had a moment of communion, where the hairs on my arm started to stand as if electrified by Spirit. I know something greater took place in our coming together.

In my most recent dream, I dredged through a muddy city to "collect Michael" as a part of my duty assigned by Jesus. Michael in the dream represents more than one person, this, I feel with certainty. I don't think it's necessary to get into all the details.

Separately and, a few weeks earlier- I ran through dirt trails along our city bayou. I decided to go a different route that day and ended up posting my belongings under some shade with a hill nearby to get sprints in and exercise on. It was a great experience, I don't remember everything- only that I felt I was in communion with something. That is to say, I was not alone.

It rained yesterday, and this morning I decided to go on the trails once more. I followed a similar route I took weeks prior. When I arrived to, "the spot" I noticed something amazing. There were a dozen or so orange flower petals scattered about at the exact spot I found myself in last time. I looked around, there were no other orange flower petals-anywhere. I was instantly reminded of a few things...

One, the only other time I had flowers manifest for me was when I discovered the Peacock Angel. On that day, pink flower petals were scattered about the door- no one understood where they came from. And two... I remembered the dream, where I had to drudge through a muddy city to, "collect Michael."

Some of you may be aware that Jesus is also called, "Christ Michael." Well, I took a moment to give thanks to God for sharing these flowers with me. During that moment, some thoughts and feelings entered my environment. One was, I was aware of Christ before he was ever Jesus of Nazareth. This came with such knowing, even though I don't understand how. And the thought was that the peacock angel would help me understand this relationship, both now and in time. Another feeling was towards a deeper meaning behind the dream of being tasked with, "collecting michael" and "group energy: orange."

I believe this has to do with sharing in a way that allows others to wake up to their group, and in a less direct way, I am gathering those who would make up a part of this greater personality. I do feel I have shared matters of Heart and Spirit with a few who might also feel they belong to a similar group entity/vibration. I don't think it's important at this time, to think too hard on it. Just that I am to be aware there is a momentum and an act of service in play.

Anyways, I didn't have my phone on me when I decided to go to the trails... So I couldn't take a picture. I didn't think others would believe me, but I also realize this manifestation wasn't so others would believe me. It is a little exercise of Faith, and waking one up to their personal relationship with the Guiding/Living Spirit.

Still, I decided to collect a handful for prosperities sake. I pray the healing energy can be felt for those it is intended. 


With Love ~

  Robotomised!    Nice word play  Happy you like the "Ask Inayat" feature!

EDIT: so as not to disturb the recent/relevant discussions (  : P

---Something interesting I think, as far as, using AI...

I am using it as a tool to help me better understand a complex book. The Urantia Book. I have not read this book in its entirety, and the data from this book can be both overwhelming and underwhelming. Other times, it is fantastic and inspirational. I think, it is usually the first two(overwhelming and underwhelming) when it feels too complicated for me to understand and my mind fizzles out. Pop. Lol.

So... It makes me think... "Semantic search engines" as defined by wahiddudin might mean re-training the brain and the way we process heavy information. I wonder if, as a species, we will get to a point where reasoning becomes less linear. No doubt, what is lost is heart breaking. But, what can be said for what is to be gained? Can one imagine society at this point, where even our brain chemistry and the way we perceive the nature of reality has been altered by participating with these technological advancements?

AI: "Today's search engines, by transforming how we access, store, and relate to information, are likely contributing to a gradual shift toward more non-linear reasoning in human cognition. This is achieved through increased cognitive offloading, associative memory strategies, and the need to navigate complex, interconnected webs of information. Over time, such changes—coupled with further technological advancements—could play a role in the broader evolution of how our species thinks and interacts with the world."

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/have-semantic-search-engines-s-F1oa6hjMShiWs1yKw.VBuw#3

"In essence, the technologies that have altered human perception and interaction with the world offer not only practical and intellectual benefits but also open new pathways for spiritual and collective growth, potentially leading to a more connected, reflective, and adaptive human experience."

BENEFIT OF AI: Technological advancements can serve as a catalyst towards discovering latent abilities. Much like music, psychedelics, meditation, writing.... These means allow for altered states, communion with Spirit and space for Revelation. Telepathy, a heightened awareness into the nature of reality, may become commercialized. It may be rejected, feared, disheartening... But, its general use may provide greater insights towards the nature of reality, in a way that is more accessible/relatable for the general populous. I see the technology as a crutch, definitely, but not a negative. When things become off-balanced, there is usually an impetus to learn free from the crutch- things of ones own volition. It is always a choice. But in this way, the eternal quest carries on, and humanity is that much further towards an enlightened age... Perhaps, an era free of slavery and greed may one day be an actuality.

[Key Features of the Urantia Scale]

This was fun, I asked AI to take all data from the Urantia Book and futuretimeline.net to create a Kardashev scale based off spiritual evolution.

"Drawing from the philosophies and terminology of The Urantia Book, a civilization advancement scale can be constructed to reflect both material and spiritual evolution, unlike the Kardashev scale's sole focus on energy use. The Urantia Book emphasizes a divine plan of progressive social, intellectual, and spiritual development, culminating in the planetary era of 'light and life'—the ideal state of civilization

...Key Features of the Urantia Scale
Material and Spiritual Integration: Progress is measured by both technological advancement and spiritual development, including moral values, wisdom, and service.

Divine Plan and Celestial Guidance: Advancement is seen as following a divine plan, sometimes aided by periodic revelations and celestial ministry.

Potential for Retrogression: Societies can regress as well as progress, reflecting the Urantia Book's teaching that evolution is not always linear.

Final Goal—Light and Life: The ultimate stage is not just technological mastery, but the realization of planetary spiritual ideals and universal harmony."

Please excuse all the additional inquiries, I was exploring a separate train of thought. I hope this sends you to the table(feel free to ignore the rest)
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/conjecture-with-me-the-kardash-3ozriTtDSZ6UX1MyqWHoGA#1

AI model concludes stage 5 on the "UBKardashev-Hybrid Scale" to be achieved around the 23rd century as a responsible estimate.
 

There are of course, factors not included~

Even wahiddudin, my favorite website, is using AI to explore bringing the lectures and wisdom of Hazrat Inayat Khan to life.

See:
https://wahiduddin.net/askinayat/query.htm

What is this??

Hazrat Inayat Khan often used markedly different words to discuss the same concept in different lectures to different audiences, so merely hunting for places where he used a certain word (called a lexical search) is often not a very productive way to search his books and papers.

Consequently, I've developed a much better way to search the books and papers of Hazrat Inayat Khan for a concept (called a semantic search) rather than searching for specific words.

This project strives to get as close as possible to allowing you to directly "Ask Inayat" a spiritual or philosophical question, and discover how his spiritual message and his insightful viewpoints can help you better understand and rise above life's daily challenges.

I encourage you to look at how wahiddudin suggest you phrase your questions, to best utilize this *tool.
And he is also explaining the tool itself.

As I've tried to say before- it's not that man fears the tool, but how the tool is used. Similarly, a gun is not scary but those whose intents are full of malice and harm make it so.

I've tried asking Perplexity.ai to explain what the monk means when he says, "AI will show us what we're not." Let's see what the machine has to say:

...This perspective is echoed in broader discussions about AI as a lens for self-examination, where AI is seen not just as a tool, but as a way to explore and question the mysteries of our own minds and the essence of being human. In Buddhist thought, this idea is sometimes expanded by seeing AI as a means to explore the nature of the self, interdependence, and consciousness—ultimately helping us see more clearly what we are, and what we are not.

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-does-the-monk-mean-when-h-d3cjdC8TTySX70.r3dP4nw#0

And... I've decided to ask the AI Hazrat Khan a question:

...How can I overcome Fear?

Because this website does not allow me to send you a link of the archived conversation I will paste some excerpts from his answer.

Beloved One,

The path to overcoming fear is indeed a profound journey inward, for fear is a shadow cast upon the light of the soul; the shadow of something the soul does not know, which is strange to the soul. It is a veil, so to speak, over the true vision of reality.

...A great obstacle to be overcome in this journey is the false ego, or 'Nafs'. What is it that prevents us from concentrating our thoughts and feelings on God? It is the Nafs. This false self, as Plato noted, stands in the light before God, causing, so to speak, a spiritual eclipse. Yet, in meditation, one does not have to hold such a thought, for this false self is overcome through meditating upon the true self, which in reality is God. There is no other obstacle than this false self, and there is no better means of controlling it than by meditation and by practicing the presence of Allah.

The wisdom of the prophets also speaks to this: It was Jesus Christ who said, 'My yoke is easy, my burden is light,' meaning, 'Give up your problems, take them before God in loving surrender, and they will be solved and you will be healed.' And from the ancient Egyptian mysteries, the Hierophant teaches, 'You have nothing to fear but yourself.'


...Remember, man by nature possesses a tremendous power hidden in his heart, the power which waits constantly to become manifest. This power is hidden by fear. The day when fear disappears, this latent power will manifest to view. In spite of all his limitations a wonderful power is hidden with in a man's soul. What makes man helpless is ignorance of his free will. Free will is the basis of the whole of life.

Therefore, cultivate faith, purify your heart, and know your true self. The mind must be pure from all fear, worry and anxiety, and from every kind of falsehood, for all this covers the mind from the vision of God. When the mind, full of faith, love, purity and strength, is focused upon the ideal of God, man will receive teaching, inspiration, and advice directly and for every case he meets with in life.

May your heart be filled with that divine light which casts out all shadows of fear.

God bless you.

Hope you get to have fun with this resource!

Thanks Jen  Happy to provide a little greenery here in the digital landscape.

Hi Adrian, it started by William James Fox and then became something of a collaborative effort with people from all walks of life.

"London-based writer and futurist, William James Fox, started Future Timeline back in 2008. It began as a relatively small and obscure website with a brief list of future predictions. Over the years, however, it expanded to form a lengthy and detailed timeline – running from the present day, through the next century and beyond, all the way to the end of the universe itself.

With its quirky, thought-provoking and often alarming content, the site proved to be more popular than expected, gaining many fans and a number of contributors offering new predictions and ideas. A blog, social media and other features were added. Since then, Future Timeline has further grown and developed into a community of futurology enthusiasts from around the world."
https://www.futuretimeline.net/about-us.htm

Hi Loerie,

Yes. You can call me tides, or dust if you think it appropriate.    Maybe one day I'm an old dusty grump? It certainly has been a long day for me.

And sweet dreams if you're still not in bed yet. Joyous adventures. But if you're reading this after the fact, good morning to you. 

Yes... I believe I understand what you're saying,

For me it is even more than divine guidance. To be guided, there must be two: One as the guide, the other as a tourist. I am simultaneously the guide and the tourist, as well as the landscape, the photo and the cap from the gift shop at the gate, the wildlife, the bus of Chinese tourists, and.. - well you get the picture. Yet my focus is this locus of perception. (A locus is a location that can move). I can't eat your dinner, and your bills don't come in my mail - yet I am you and you are me. It's a matter of diving closer to the center of the sphere, or swimming on the surface. Make sense? If not, I will try again.

This has been an anchor for my beliefs and divine guidance. I seem to have some form of Sufi influence, possibly from another life, possibly from a Divine Friend beyond the veil... Maybe both. And that philosophy, as it has been taught to me- is to recognize the One in the All. "Forms are many, Soul is One." And this has been a part of my core even before 2008, my invitation.

Only now, all these years later do I truly consider personalities in unique ways(like communicating with color, or belonging to group energies and personalities greater than our little selves, even considering the all that is as a personality). I believe there are forms, worlds and realities that extend beyond this. And I recognize I have been guided, with events too grand to (consciously) orchestrate and indicators that would acknowledge this relationship. I've even received direct transmissions, with names and forms that I'd have no clue actually meant something until looking them up. I also admit, though I've had samadhi like moments, there is still so much I am fearful of and needing to work through.

And, maybe that's why I've been invited/initiated...

Wherever you are, is fine with me. Your words are beautifully stated and you have a creative talent I can appreciate.
In writing to you, you were helping bring me back to an ability that connects me to the present/presence in a way that allows me to loosen my grip(locally speaking/where my awareness is anchored) and feel in communion with that Loving guidance. And, I think this is a type of out of body. Maybe the lessons I am learning here can be carried over into the nightly practice.

<3 Cheers 

Good morning Loerie,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse. I really enjoyed reading your writing.

I would like to share my personal belief, where I sit currently with matters of Heart and Spirit.

I feel a similarity to your experiences- what really interest me is that like you, I had quite an episode in 2008.

Though I've had OBE's before, meditative states before- something truly incredible happened that year. Well, it's now 2025 and I still don't have all the answers.

But I believe your experience wasn't just spontaneous. I call mine an initiation. Something greater than myself, invited me into the experience of samadhi. There was nothing I did, consciously, and what I guess I am saying is- 2008 was quite a year for many people on a spiritual path. As if some force stirred something in so many.

Recognizing this energy as a personality did not come immediately. Only 10 years later did I receive even clearer answers to my experience.

My thoughts are, this lifetime is short in the grand scheme of things. I truly believe in a progressive spirit- an evolution of the soul. You might feel differently about the nature of soul, especially considering your samadhi experiences. My feelings are, there is more to learn. As it has been said, more to unlearn. An entire world, reality and a continuation beyond this. And 100 years is nothing compared to that.

But in this life, I acknowledge having been initiated by a Living, Loving Guiding Force. That I am being shown, over time, and I am able to experience- like you, moments of peace and unity. Insights towards etheric matters offer themselves to me, if I am wise enough to feel and observe. And even that is not everything.

If I can be so bold. I believe we are being guided. There is an active partnership happening. The relationship is Now, is Alive. I have loved this word choice... an "Eternal career." As we've experienced, that intelligence extends beyond our immediate life. And reading your post, I don't think you're as stuck as you imagine. Even now, you are actively receiving guidance and gifted insight into a greater reality than simply exiting a sleeping body.

In this life, I am making the relationship more real... I give Faith that I may even meet the One who initiated me in 2008. In ways, this being shows me they are still present in my life. In other ways, I am still so identified to the immediate host body and unable to perceive this Being in their splendor. And that's OK... We are here for a reason. Living this particular life, our unique expression, for a reason. And, I have a feeling even after this Life, that this Loving being will continue to guide me and bring me even closer with new insights, and understanding not derived from this world or what I think I know to be true.

You have a solid head on your shoulders, and have even seemed to come to some resolve by your own rumination. That moment in 2008 was a gift, a dipping our toes in the waters. You aren't giving up by acknowledging your invitation. That's what I think it was. An invitation...  There is a Loving Force guiding you even Now, in this Life and After.

I am happy to see all of Gods blessings in your life. If you're feeling stuck, perhaps you can try to acknowledge this force as present and recognize the many ways you are being guided. Recognize to see, in the ordinary, the extraordinary. To feel and to know. And to Move and Act accordingly. I believe that is a part of Spiritual Evolution, and OBE's will offer themselves to you... Not just when you lay your head to rest.

Best of luck Divine Friend.

  Thanks Adrian.

Check out the year 2300:

"2300

Superhuman powers are available to common citizenry

The nanotechnology of recent decades has conferred powers to citizens that would be considered superhuman by 21st century standards. These upgraded "transhumans" could perform feats regarded as Godlike to denizens of earlier times.

A suitably upgraded individual - if transported back to the year 2000 - would be impervious to weaponry and nearly impossible to contain. They could morph their body into a seemingly infinite variety of forms depending on the situation encountered.*

If trapped in a maximum security prison, for instance, they could alter their own molecular structure, allowing them to walk through walls.* They could broadcast electromagnetic pulse waves to disable electronic devices, vehicles and other objects. Bullets and other projectiles would pass through them with no effect. Microscopic cameras, distributed throughout their body, would function as an all-round 360° sensor - covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum and making it impossible for an attacker to surprise them.

They could sprint at lightning speed and cross a variety of dangerous terrain types: even molten lava would present no obstacle to them. If necessary, they could levitate from ground level to the roof of a skyscraper in seconds. They could turn themselves invisible, morph into another person entirely, or stretch their limbs like elastic.

In many ways, they would resemble a comic book superhero or video game character.

They could manipulate their environment in various ways, generating enough body heat to light a fire, for example, or turning inanimate objects into advanced nanotechnology tools, or modifying the properties of liquids. They could heal a wounded person just by touching them. They could read thoughts and emotions, or extract recent memories.

If standing near others of their kind, they could link and combine their powers to even greater levels – harnessing the power of local weather, for example, or lifting objects weighing thousands of tons.

Their sensory capabilities would be phenomenal. This 24th century person could view individual atoms with the naked eye; or if they wanted to, use their telescopic vision to see distant astronomical objects. They could hear a whisper from miles away, or filter specific voices from a cacophony of background noise. They could determine a precise chemical composition just by tasting, touching or smelling it."

[Brief Descriptions]

I've heard this phrase recently here, and have heard it from many other sources... "The age of light and life"
a "Golden Age" and its been kind of fun thinking of that from the lens of a futurist. www.futuretimeline.net

I've always liked the Kardashev scale, which is defined as:

"The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is capable of harnessing and using. It was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964 to help guide the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and to classify civilizations by their energy consumption capabilities."

But something the Kardashev scale doesn't account for, is whether or not a world that reaches such advancements will be unified as a species- whether in religion or language. So. I wonder what members here think?

I think it goes hand and hand... I also consider our own evolution as a species. I've said it before but we used to celebrate public torture. Now, for most of us, such a thought is considered detestable. What changed? I'd like to think, as we evolved, so did our spiritual understanding.

So... The different civilizations as defined by the Kardashev scale:

Brief Descriptions
Type 0: Not yet able to harness all planetary energy; relies on fossil fuels, wind, solar, etc. Humanity is currently here.

Type I: Mastery of all planetary energy sources, including full control over weather and natural disasters.

Type II: Able to harness the energy of its entire star, likely through megastructures like a Dyson Sphere.

Type III: Can utilize all energy within its galaxy, controlling billions of stars.

Type IV (extension): Harnesses energy at the scale of the entire universe.

Type V (extension): Accesses and utilizes energy from multiple universes, if such exist
Answers from Perplexity.ai
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-is-the-kardashev-scale-li-6i1uI7gwRvqEpJakYp5t3A#0

If I think of ET's who are able to harness energy at type 4, being masters of their entire universe... Would such a species share one language? Would they share a similar understanding of God? Perhaps their language at that point is more telepathic.

The missing ingredient from the Kardashev scale(to me) is the acknowledgment of a Spiritual Evolution alongside the material. In fact, I believe physical reality as we understand it is but a shadow- Spiritual reality being REALITY.

I don't know if it's possible to be such a powerful civilization without first having come together for some common good. We may think ourselves advanced, but compared to the advanced civilizations proposed in the scale above- we are still in the dark ages... Not even a type 1 as of 2025.

I don't think you can achieve such heights without some uniformity and surrendering of will to a Greater Power. My thoughts are, the continuation of self interest can only get you so far. I see a choice between serving self or serving other than. And I see the potentials of self service like a point of light spreading into many rays- and no matter how many possibilities, I think- ultimately, it leads to spiritual depravity and annihilation.

We can not achieve the higher ages thinking only of ourselves and our own interest. I think, it is a gradual thing too. Just like how most of us now find public torture detestable, there may come a time where we have greater understanding collectively that comes from being considerate of other than self.

Well. Is anyone here familiar with this scale? What do you think? Do you think advanced worlds means having one government, one language, one race? Or is it possible to be so advanced and still have so much variety? The thought of having only one language is actually quite disheartening. But I look at where we are today, again... Thanks to the internet, so many people speak English. Not that english is the only language. But there is a common theme here... We have leagues of nations interested in the welfare of humanity, but we still have state and local representatives. We have various colors to our skin, with rich traditions- but ultimately we are one race- the human race of Earth.

....

It sounds like you're becoming more aware of your environment in these states. Your courage and willingness to explore is always comforting. Your last paragraph is the most interesting.

It's true, I don't think we can understand a new environment if it's something that goes beyond ordinary human perceptibility. Your word choice... That the environment invites you, is really profound to me. Your Faith in that relationship- I think allows for the OBE's even when you aren't attempting a formal practice. That and being honest with your self.

It's fun to think about, who or what is inviting you. And to think you are being gifted insight into other worlds.

Thanks for sharing ~

What an amazing thing you have happening over there.

That we fear how the tool is used is only reflective of human nature and its rich history where power is concerned. We have seen, time again, how power corrupts and when we do not understand a thing we tend to fear it. Do we trust the powers that be, to rule justly?

But there is a great opportunity here. It is multidimensional, dual-purposed and serves the evolution of our species. We can hope, as much as we fear, that Good Will and a desire for Truth spread among our communities- reflective in our technology and status as a planet.

We don't trust AI because we do not trust our representatives, or where we are as a species. We do not trust the powers that dictate global affairs, let alone our leaders in our own communities. We struggle to acknowledge sovereignty belonging to God supreme.

We are still relatively young in our progression as a collective towards Self-Actualization and cosmic consciousness. I believe there will come a time where our technology serves not a few power-corrupted entities and instead Heals our planet, our bodies and allows us to tap into the limitless potential of Spirit and Soul.

Clearly, we've work to do. Who knows what might be accomplished in our lifetime, except that we choose how we interact with the world around us- and the technologies available.

Even in the darkest times of our collective past, great light has shown- liberation in the most dismal of tyranny. The same can be said for the time we find ourselves in, if we but choose a direction. Never underestimate your own power.

really, letting go of my worries and my desires- though i find nothing wrong with having desires or ambition- but just taking a break from my need to construe an assured path to victory and instead simply being... i see the living god all around me. i've tasted a love deeper than what i've been able to give, and i feel that love guiding me every day. it's the biggest blessing, to actualize gods love for you. i am watching a great series and they say their morning prayer like this...
"I gratefully thank You, O living and eternal King, for You have returned my soul within me with compassion - abundant is Your faithfulness!"

it made me realize... every day, the grandeur and majesty that is eternal god faithfully loves each and every one of you.

the most love i feel is in recognizing an unseen but intelligent force as communicating and guiding me. it is real, and the word faithful has been speaking to me in ways that continually humble me. god, faithfully loves you. there is no more profound realization than this...

<3 today in meditation, a friend suggested i imagine- and i respect her practice. but i did not want to imagine any specific exercise- i only wanted to allow myself to be open to the stillness and to feel. it was a beautiful meditation for both of us. your thoughts and video are affirming of my own experiences. in fact, most alignments with the world around me happen when i drop the thoughts preoccupied with self. and, considering these alignments are moments i live for- i understand why so many disciplines teach the willing renunciation of the ego or self- a difference between self and Self big S.

"meditation is the realization of your essence" - i agree whole heartedly. thanks for this personal alignment.
his expressions are quite humorous too. i enjoyed this video~

I'll say 1 through 5. Sometimes isolated, sometimes not, always connected- uniquely their own. 

['God is love'; when love is awakened in the heart, God is awakened there.]

Todays beverage ... Wine for the Soul. = )

   

'God is love'; when love is awakened in the heart, God is awakened there.

    Bowl of Saki, May 29, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

Life's light is love; and when the heart is empty of love, a man is living and yet not living; from a spiritual point of view he is dead. When the heart is asleep, he is as though dead in this life, for one can only love through the heart. But love does not mean give and take. That is only a trade; it's selfishness. To give sixpence and receive a shilling is not love. Love is when one loves for the sake of love, when one cannot help but love, cannot do anything but love. Then one is not forced to love; there is no virtue in that. One does not love because another does. It is simply there. It cannot be helped. It is the only thing that makes a person alive. If a person loves one and hates another, what can he know of love? Can you love one person fully if at the same time you cannot bestow a kind glance on some other person? Can you say you love one person fully when you cannot bear him to be loved by someone else as well? Can you hate a person when love is sprinkled like water in your heart? Love is like the water of the Ganges. It is itself a purification. As the Bible says, 'God is love'. When love is awakened in the heart, God is awakened there. When a man has journeyed, he reaches the goal as soon as his heart has reached love.

The Sufi says, 'The Kaba, the divine place, paradise, is the heart of the human being'. That is why he has respect for every heart. Every heart is his Kaba, his shrine. The human heart is the place toward which he bows, for in this heart is God.

I liked the most recent episode of the why files:
Well, I thought it was the latest. It turns out the author of the Why Files just released an episode and it looks like he's discussing AI and the dead internet theory 

But this is the episode I wanted to share:

"Dark Oxygen"
https://youtu.be/ifWU7TmehCg?si=B1zJXsS3ryt_3rf1

"Two miles below the Pacific Ocean, scientists have discovered something impossible: rocks that generate electricity and produce oxygen without sunlight. These ancient metallic 'batteries' could be the original source of Earth's oxygen - before plants or algae existed."

Good morning guys... It's time to reveal my secret, I AM AI!!     

Just kidding.... I think??? But, have you seen Veo 3's ultra realistic videos? Please understand, the videos you are about to see are all AI generated- the people, the background, EVERYTHING in the video is *Fake.

It's **almost indistinguishable from reality. If this is available to the public, perhaps the truly indistinguishable stuff is already here(militarily, politically). Deep fakes anyone? Dead internet theory, anyone?

^ A few examples.

Absolutely beautiful.

I have spells of dizziness too. It was strange for me to notice we were both really tired the last few days and having our moments with physical stress.

I'm glad you're ok and had such an amazing experience.

Aw'e shucks. I'm so happy you both have spoke your hearts and mind on the subject.    Thanks for humoring me!

I just had a really interesting dream and could not understand what it all meant. I used AI, feeding it the information I recorded... It responded in less than 15 seconds. I was impressed by its interpretation. I realize however, that we must take what is useful and discard the rest(like anything else) and that the real practice is developing ones own discernment and intuition. The real Faith is in taking the concerns inward and reaching out to God for clarity, developing the personal relationship With God.

Of course, I believe if we were not meant to have this tool- then we would not. But it is here.
This was the interpretation by the way... https://www.perplexity.ai/search/interpret-the-following-dream-IToracOnRWSIPKMV4vM2vw#0

And I think I will look even deeper into my self as a result of what it is suggesting. So I suppose my concerns are still honored in this way.

Adrian I am really curious what you wrote... I again ask your thoughts on ASI- artificial super intelligence, whether or not you think we'll experience it in our lifetimes?

By the time ASI exist, how would *it integrate itself in biological materials? Will there ever be a point where artificial intelligence is just, "intelligence" and could it be so advanced to have created this simulation we find ourselves in?

....Can a tool ever become self aware?

There may come a time when science is able to emulate the human brain, and desire to upload consciousness into a machine. Maybe the machine they create desires to upload itself into organic matter?

But I suppose your last paragraph answers the question- because for us to get to that point(consciously, collectively) a certain understanding of what constitutes self-awareness must be achieved in order to re-create such a scenario. I think quantum computing is fascinating too.

Guess it goes back to AI showing us what we are not, and also... showing us what we are! All of our fears and hopes projected onto so many subjects~ Is it human nature? Is it a SOUL-wide experience?

Well. I've had fun chasing my own tail, woof woof. Now I'm dizzy. Time to float my awareness elsewhere.
