Interesting... this also works the opposite way: you can have good ideas in your head and walk out thinking that you are a reasonable person and will be dealing with other reasonable people... and then run into sociopathic/narcissistic people and/or a society of narcissists who contradict your good ideas/hopes/dreams; this reality in the light of day forces you to "correct" your perceptions of decency and goodness and this is how we become depressed and despairing.

10+ years I listen to JP & I'm most impressed of his modesty of still learning from others! Being such a great intellectual person could easily say I know more & that's it, but he expands his perception constantly through others thus proving to all of us our unlimited potential of self growth & "telling" us we can always grow our self worth as a result~ The perfect example of teaching others by example! Thank you JB for being just you!!

I feel like we are living in some type of simulation similar to how computers take in data and process that information and then create a formula to fix the problems. If you think about human beings, we have people that are spiritually awake and those that are not. Most people awaken spiritually between the ages 40-65. Some children are born spiritually awake. To be spiritually awake is to be able to hear and process spirits ( living thoughts). When you think about what causes something to change, usually the cause is from discomfort or pain. If you associate those two with dark energy, you can see that this is what is the most powerful energy for controlling people and outcomes in the physical world. When you think about human beings that are spiritually awake, you can imagine them as being the computer processors of the spiritual world. When people are struggling or unhappy in life, that pain creates spirits( living thoughts). The spiritually awake people unconsciously process all those thoughts and a plan to create change that will heal people is processed and set into motion. The spiritually awake might be able to communicate with others and control the actions or behaviors of those people. If you think about how google driving direction takes in all the data about traffic and then computes the fastest route, I think that human beings have the abilities to do the same thing by controlling people actions. Another example would be this, if there’s a guy that is spiritually awake, and he has a bunch of people that want to kill him, and he hasn’t done anything wrong, let’s say they were in the same city, the guy had no clue they were after him, because they were very mad and full of dark energy, they are going to be releasing spirits (living thoughts). Then all the spiritually awake people will take in those spirit living thoughts and process them. As the man is going through town, because he’s spiritually awake, his subconscious will guide him out of harms way. Everyone that is not spiritually awake can be controlled subconsciously to create blocks, delays, holdups, so that the bad guys and the spiritually awake guy don’t cross paths with each other, protecting him from harm.

Why do people beat around a bush, when it's burning bright?
The one who spoke to you in your own dreams was not your own "consciousness".
You were "fed" by him information, like a piece of "bread", you were given "blood" to "draw" from, to "drink" what it meant.
There was a time, before the crucifixion, when only certain people had dreams. Only certain people were fed well, & quenched of thirst. But now, everyone gets a "piece", the old & the young.
This is because that which prevented us from seeing & hearing, was the "fabric", which was "torn away", as a "catch 22", when he was crucified, to have full permission to visit anyone in their dreams.
The "male & female servants" get a "piece", & "man & woman" get a "piece".
Who will make peace with this, or reconcile unto Christ, when even the lesser earthly wealth is being used to take advantage?
Do we cheat to steal, or steal to cheat?
Who will say "I have done no wrong", wiping their mouths of "bread" & "wine", after having stolen it?
It's just a game, & we're all still just playing "little League".

@brahmanwithin6623 Says:
What I find profound is that reality in the fifth dimension is constructed out of every single moment of time that has ever existed (4th dimension) pieced together as one picture (5th dimension). To experience one moment of time, one piece of that puzzle, would be to be in the 3rd dimension. The second and first dimensions are the building block of the third dimension, and this is significantly influenced by energy and quantum gravity.
So in essence, time does not actually exist, but the brain pieces together a set of possibilities that can exist within the quantum dimension of infinite possibilities as a linear movement from one piece of the puzzle to the next, and depending on which piece you are at, the possibilities change further. This even allows an explanation for an infinite amount of variations of the universe - essentially a different timeline pieced out of an infinite amount of puzzle pieces (that each represent a moment).
I wonder what the components of a “moment” are. I would describe it as: the event or occurrence itself, the meaning it holds to the person, and the emotions and feelings experienced during that event. As these factors change, the moment begins to change and morph into another moment.
I am fascinated at the way in which geometric patterns become realigned and changed in a DMT/LSD trip. Thinking in a more positive and open-minded way seems to have an effect on the beauty and color of these geometric patterns, and I am beginning to think that life is made out of these complex light forms at a higher level and those forms eventually slow down into density and become that which we call matter. Matter, of course, has its own vibration and frequency, meaning that it is never fully static.
Disorder is simply a chaotic organisation of energy. When energy begins to break loose, there is some chaos that is bound to occur until it becomes rearranged into something coherent.
I think that anyone can become a pure genius if they realise that if we are able to apply micro science (like contrasting between atomic bonds and shared interests between people, as an example), we may be able to uncover the hidden energetic workings that go by unnoticed by the majority of the world.
@marcobiagini1878 Says:
I am a physicist and I will explain why our scientific knowledge refutes the idea that consciousness is generated by the brain and that the origin of our mental experiences is physical/biological .
My argument proves that the fragmentary structure of brain processes implies that brain processes are not a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness, which existence implies the existence in us of an indivisible unphysical element, which is usually called soul or spirit (in my youtube channel you can find a video with more detailed explanations). I also argue that all emergent properties are subjective cognitive contructs used to approximately describe underlying physical processes, and that these descriptions refer only to mind-dependent entities. Consciousness, being implied by these cognitive contructs, cannot itself be an emergent property.
Preliminary considerations: the concept of set refers to something that has an intrinsically conceptual and subjective nature and implies the arbitrary choice of determining which elements are to be included in the set; what exists objectively are only the single elements. In fact, when we define a set, it is like drawing an imaginary line that separates some elements from all the other elements; obviously this imaginary line does not exist physically, independently of our mind, and therefore any set is just an abstract idea, a cognitive construct and not a physical entity and so are all its properties. Similar considerations can be made for a sequence of elementary processes; sequence is a subjective and abstract concept.
Mental experience is a precondition for the existence of subjectivity/arbitrariness and cognitive constructs, therefore mental experience cannot itself be a cognitive construct; obviously we can conceive the concept of consciousness, but the concept of consciousness is not actual consciousness.
(With the word consciousness I do not refer to self-awareness, but to the property of being conscious= having a mental experiences such as sensations, emotions, thoughts, memories and even dreams).
From the above considerations it follows that only indivisible elements may exist objectively and independently of consciousness, and consequently the only logically coherent and significant statement is that consciousness exists as a property of an indivisible element. Furthermore, this indivisible entity must interact globally with brain processes because we know that there is a correlation between brain processes and consciousness. This indivisible entity is not physical, since according to the laws of physics, there is no physical entity with such properties; therefore this indivisible entity can be identified with what is traditionally called soul or spirit. The soul is the missing element that interprets globally the distinct elementary physical processes occurring at separate points in the brain as a unified mental experience.
Some clarifications.
The brain doesn't objectively and physically exist as a mind-independent entity since we create the concept of the brain by separating an arbitrarily chosen group of quantum particles from everything else. This separation is not done on the basis of the laws of physics, but using addictional subjective criteria, independent of the laws of physics; actually there is a continuous exchange of molecules with the blood and when and how such molecules start and stop being part of the brain is decided arbitrarily. Brain processes consist of many parallel sequences of ordinary elementary physical processes occurring at separate points. There is no direct connection between the separate points in the brain and such connections are just a subjective abstractions used to approximately describe sequences of many distinct physical processes. Indeed, considering consciousness as a property of an entire sequence of elementary processes implies the arbitrary definition of the entire sequence; the entire sequence as a whole (and therefore every function/property/capacity attributed to the brain) is a subjective abstraction that does not refer to any mind-independendent reality.
Physicalism/naturalism is based on the belief that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. However, an emergent property is defined as a property that is possessed by a set of elements that its individual components do not possess; my arguments prove that this definition implies that emergent properties are only subjective cognitive constructs and therefore, consciousness cannot be an emergent property.
Actually, all the alleged emergent properties are just simplified and approximate descriptions or subjective/arbitrary classifications of underlying physical processes or properties, which are described directly by the fundamental laws of physics alone, without involving any emergent properties (arbitrariness/subjectivity is involved when more than one option is possible; in this case, more than one possible description). An approximate description is only an abstract idea, and no actual entity exists per se corresponding to that approximate description, simply because an actual entity is exactly what it is and not an approximation of itself. What physically exists are the underlying physical processes. Emergence is nothing more than a cognitive construct that is applied to physical phenomena, and cognition itself can only come from a mind; thus emergence can never explain mental experience as, by itself, it implies mental experience.
My approach is scientific and is based on our scientific knowledge of the physical processes that occur in the brain; my arguments prove that such scientific knowledge excludes the possibility that the physical processes that occur in the brain could be a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness.

Fear of the dark. It is more than just childish fear. Humans have many senses, but our primary interactive sense in the modern world is our sight - and when it is dark we cannot see clearly or at all. Try getting through a day while wearing a very opaque blindfold.
Fear of the dark also has symbolic meaning, where 'the dark' is a reference to ignorance or the unknown.
Just as the light of dawn drives away the dark of night, so too does the light of knowledge drive away fear of the unknown.
But be warned. Dawn's light might just reveal a hitherto unnoticed horror; and the light of knowledge will, inevitably, do the same.
In the end, all that really matters is what sort of person you choose to be with the time you have.
Monsters can often be heroes, but if a hero becomes a monster, then they are just a monster.

Interesting, I do believe that there is an unconscious meta process that oversees our consciousness. It holds all the information about our reality, only alowing us to know what is pertinent to our existence. It gives us experiences like a sense of time and I am open to the theory that it could be external to our bodies.
@davivman6009 Says:
I disagree that the consciousness we experience is a “hallucination” because that implies that there is no correspondence between our conscious experiences and reality. I would prefer the term “perception” to link the experience with reality. When we see a green leaf, there is a connection between that perception and the real existence of matter reflecting a particular wavelength of light.
