ANY CROSS CHECKER CAN BE PART OF THE BRAHMAS DREAM X EPISTEMIC CIRCULARITY

I could quote many similar statements by other scientists. The ‘hard problem’ (as it is reverentially abbreviated) asks why and how you – ‘your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will’,2 in short, your experience of existence – could possibly spring from the physiological processes that occur in brain cells. These cells are not fundamentally different from those that constitute other bodily organs. So, how do they bring ‘you’ into being?

In response to Bhudevi's plea, Brahma created the six enemies—moha (delusion), kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), mada (arrogance), and matsarya (jealousy). These traits were embedded in the hearts of living beings, making them susceptible to mortality. By introducing these challenges, Brahma ensured that all living beings would eventually face death, thereby restoring balance to the

 NEURODISABY CHILD

These children are not only awake and often alert, but show responsiveness to their surroundings in the form of emotional or orienting reactions to environmental events […] The children are, moreover, subject to the seizures of absence epilepsy. Parents recognize these lapses of accessibility in their children, commenting on them in terms such as ‘she is off talking with the angels’, and parents have no trouble recognizing when their child ‘is back.’ […] The fact that these children exhibit such episodes would seem to be a weighty piece of evidence regarding their conscious status.1

Patient B., whose insular cortices were entirely destroyed, experienced body feelings as well as emotional feelings. He reported feeling pain, pleasure, itch, tickle, happiness, sadness, apprehension, irritation, caring and compassion, and he behaved in ways consonant with such feelings when he reported experiencing them. He also reported feelings of hunger, thirst, and desire to void, and behaved accordingly. He yearned for play opportunities, for example, playing checkers, visiting with others, going for walks, and registered obvious pleasure when engaged in such activities as well as disappointment or even irritation when the opportunities were denied. […] Given the impoverishment of his imagination, Patient B.’s existence was a virtually continuous ‘affective’ reaction to his own body states and to the modest demands posed by the world around him, undampened by high-order cognitive controls […] According to Craig (2011), the tell-tale sign of self-awareness is the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror, an ability that in his words ‘can only be provided by a functional, emotionally valid neural representation of self’. Patient B. passed this test consistently and repeatedly. In brief, these findings run counter to the proposal that human self-awareness, along with the ability to feel, would depend entirely on the insular cortices and, specifically, on its anterior third (Craig 2009, 2011). In the absence of insular cortices, we need to entertain neuroanatomical alternatives to explain the basis for B.’s feeling abilities and sentience.3

The existence of blindsight has been taken to imply that consciousness of visual perception must happen in the cortex rather than the brainstem. It is assumed that there is ‘nobody at home’ in the brainstem: it is an autonomic machine that processes visual information in the same nonconscious way that a camera does. This principle applies also to the other senses, each of which involves its own specific zone of consciousness in the cortex, but each of which (apart from the sense of smell) also transmits information to the unconscious superior colliculi of the brainstem.

WONDER- HESSE

Hesse writes:

Wonder is where it starts, and though wonder is also where it ends, this is no futile path. Whether admiring a patch of moss, a crystal, flower, or golden beetle, a sky full of clouds, a sea with the serene, vast sigh of its swells, or a butterfly wing with its arrangement of crystalline ribs, contours, and the vibrant bezel of its edges, the diverse scripts and ornamentations of its markings, and the infinite, sweet, delightfully inspired transitions and shadings of its colors — whenever I experience part of nature, whether with my eyes or another of the five senses, whenever I feel drawn in, enchanted, opening myself momentarily to its existence and epiphanies, that very moment allows me to forget the avaricious, blind world of human need, and rather than thinking or issuing orders, rather than acquiring or exploiting, fighting or organizing, all I do in that moment is “wonder,” like Goethe, and not only does this wonderment establish my brotherhood with him, other poets, and sages, it also makes me a brother to those wondrous things I behold and experience as the living world: butterflies and moths, beetles, clouds, rivers and mountains, because while wandering down the path of wonder, I briefly escape the world of separation and enter the world of unity.

When you've reached the final phase of awakening, do you also feel like you have no use for a partner?

You are so empty.

You are nothing.

You are unimportant.

Your egos feeds nothing.

I had those feelings during my Satori moment.

It was so blissful and peaceful.

But that was just a while.

Living in the 3D but having a 5D mentality is such a waste.

The 3D is so beautiful.

Everything is so tempting.

The attraction is splendour.

The people is so warm.

My sudden energy shift from 5D back to 3D.

My appreciation for all is so much.

Especially to the people that is residing, interacting and communicating with me.

I am important now.

People need me.

Nature needs me.

Animals need me.

Etc.

So to answer this question, when you have reached the final phase of awakening you will feel nothing. Nothing is important including your partner as everything is part of the matrix.

The revitalizing power of kiwi

A recent study published in British Journal of Nutrition has analyzed how kiwi consumption impacts mood compared to vitamin C supplements. What did they find? That consume kiwi for only four days It can make a difference in how we feel. Surprisingly, study participants who ate kiwi experienced an increase in vitality and mood, even more than those who took vitamin C supplements.

Pathogenic mutations in TSC 1 or TSC 2 genes activate the mTOR cascade, resulting in abnormal growth and proliferation in various organs and systems. An understanding of this mechanism provided a unique opportunity to test already available mTOR inhibitor drugs such as rapamycin as a potential therapeutic agent targeting TSC-related tumoral diseases in the brain, kidneys, and lungs (8–10). Later, clinical trials led to the FDA approval of mTOR inhibitor everolimus as a treatment option in selected TSC patients with subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGA) and renal angiomyolipomas

INNER DEMON OR DAEMON - DMN - DEFAULT MODE NETWORK

Still your mind in me, still yourself in me, and without a doubt you shall be united with me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart. - Bhagavad Gita

"Daemon" is actually a much older form of "demon". Daemon is the Latin word for the Ancient Greek daimon. Originally in ancient religions daimons were lesser deities. Then Christianity came and "demonized" the other gods, so now you know them as the evil spirits from this mythology.

A

The words daemon and daimon are Latinized spellings of the Greek δαίμων (daimôn), a reference to the daemons of Ancient Greek religion and mythology, Hellenistic religion and philosophy.[1] Daemons are good or benevolent "supernatural beings between mortals and gods, such as inferior divinities and ghosts of dead heroes" (see Plato's Symposium), and differ from the Judeo-Christian usage of demon, a malignant spirit that can seduce, afflict, or possess humans.#

The word bodhisattva has been defined as meaning “heroic being,” “spiritual warrior,” or “illumined heart and valiant one.” 7 Bodhisattvas, “gentle and not abusive,” react spontaneously to their impulse of compassion toward everyone and all, and are fully involved in the affairs of the world; they are in the midst of it, with all its struggles and tribulations. Theirs is not a negative way of denying and abandoning the world, but a positive way of affirming it and transforming it, by virtue of their great compassion and great wisdom. Their life task is to set people free from ignorance, passion, and evil.

 ROUND OF EXISTENCE- SAMSARA 

Before entering the path, individuals in all their actions are motivated only by egocentric desires to acquire wealth, power, reputation, i.e., to have pleasure and escape from pain. But little do they know that the scramble for wealth, power, and any worldly aim can never bring satisfaction. This pursuit is what Buddhists call the condition of samsara—a Sanskrit term that means “circling.” In this life it refers to our ingrained strong habit of going around and around in circles, chasing after gratification of desires, pleasures of one sort or another, which are invariably eluding us. This is the perpetuum mobile of mundane life: moving from one situation to another, fluctuating from one mood to another, desiring an object, acquiring and tasting it, becoming saturated, frustrated, discarding it, and turning around to start the very same process again and again. We never reach the soughtafter goal, for the very characteristic of samsara is dissatisfaction— suffering. The term samsara applies also to the cyclic existence of continuous rebirths, out of which there is no escape, until liberation, that is, nirvana. In that sense samsara means “the round of existence.

NO COMPLAINTS DIET 

'm a big believer in the "no complaints diet". This isn't some form of toxic positivity but a recognition that complaining achieves nothing and undermines our wellbeing.

As I see it, there are three constructive ways to deal with circumstances we don't like:

1. Do something to change them
2. Walk away from them
3. Accept them

If we can change something for the better, then this is usually our best course of action. If not, and the cost of walking away from it is negligible (or positive), then that's a valid alternative. But when the first two options aren't available, then the only rational response is to accept things, no matter how imperfect they may be. Otherwise, we'll get trapped in negative emotions, thoughts, and actions.

A

"When you criticize yourself, what words or phrases tend to come up?". Language and thoughts are closely linked. By asking people to examine (and change) the words they use when being self-critical, you can help them reframe their thoughts and cultivate greater self-compassion and acceptance.

 Life is relatively short and nothing is guaranteed.

We know deep down that life is short, and that death will happen to all of us eventually, and yet we are infinitely surprised when it happens to someone we know. It’s like walking up a flight of stairs with a distracted mind, and misjudging the final step. You expected there to be one more stair than there is, and so you find yourself off balance for a moment, before your mind shifts back to reality and how the world really is.

So let that reminder be a wake-up call to live your life today! Don’t ignore death, but don’t be afraid of life either. Be afraid of a life you never lived because you were too afraid to take positive action today. Death is not the greatest loss in life, neither is injury. The greatest loss is what dies inside you while you’re still alive and capable.

So even when life gets messy, be bold, be courageous, be a scared to death, and then take the next step anyway. Invest your heart and soul into whatever you have right in front of you. Bring passion into otherwise ordinary moments… Love what you do, until you can do what you love. Love where you are, until you can be where you love. Love the people you’re with, until you can be with the people you love most. This is the way we find more happiness, opportunity, and peace on the average day.

2. Everything will change again soon.

Embrace change and realize that it’s necessary. It won’t always be obvious at first, but in the end most forms of change are worthwhile because they force us to grow. So keep yourself in check right now…

What you have today may become what you had by tomorrow. You never know. Things change, often spontaneously. People and circumstances come and go. Life doesn’t stop for anybody. It moves rapidly and rushes from calm to chaos in a matter of seconds, and happens like this to people every day. It’s likely happening to someone nearby right now.

Sometimes the shortest split second in time changes the direction of our lives. A seemingly innocuous decision rattles our whole world like a meteorite striking Earth. Entire lives have been swiveled and flipped upside down, for better or worse, on the strength of an unpredictable event. And these events are always happening — like all the senseless violence and drama we see in our world today.

So just remember, however good or bad a situation is now, it will change. That’s the one thing you can count on. Accept it. Breathe. Be where you are. You’re where you need to be right now. There’s a time and place for everything, and every hard step is necessary. Just keep doing your best, and don’t force what’s not yet supposed to fit into your life. When it’s meant to be, it will be.

3. Changing your response is what puts you back in control.

Have patience with everything that remains imperfect or unfinished in your head and heart. And realize that patience is not about waiting, but the ability to keep a good attitude while working hard to stay true to your intuition and values. This is your life, and it is governed by your choices. May your actions speak louder than your words. May your daily choices preach louder than your lips. May your inner sense of satisfaction be your noise in the end.

nd if your present life only teaches you one thing, let it be that taking a passionate leap is always worth it. Even if you have no idea where you’re going to land — even when there are so many unknowns — be brave enough to stand up and listen to your intuition. Remember that the most powerful moments in life happen when you find the courage to let go of what can’t be changed. Because as Viktor Frankl said, when you are no longer able to change a situation, you are challenged to change yourself — to grow beyond the unchangeable. And that changes everything! (Note: Angel and I discuss this in more detail in the Passion & Growth chapter of “1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently”.)

4. Life’s storms can be a source of long-term strength.

Hard times are like strong storms that blow against you. And it’s not just that these storms hold you back from places you are trying to go. They also tear away from you all but the essential parts of your ego that cannot be torn, so that you are left only with the foundation of who you really are.

timately you realize you are here to endure these storms, to sacrifice your time and risk your heart. You are here to be bruised by life. And when it happens that you are hurt, or betrayed, or rejected, let yourself sit quietly with your eyes closed and remember all the good times you had, and all the sweetness you tasted, and everything you learned. Tell yourself how amazing it was to live, and then open your eyes and live some more.

Because to never struggle would be to never grow. You must let go of who you were so you can become who you are. Again, it is within the depths of the strongest and darkest storms that you often discover within you an inextinguishable light, and it is this light that illuminates the path forward.

5. You don’t need all the answers right now.

Accept the feeling of not knowing exactly where you are going, and train yourself to love and appreciate this sensation of freedom. Because it is only when you are suspended in the air, with no destination in sight, that you force your wings to open fully so you can fly. And as you soar around you still may not know where you’re traveling to. But that’s not what’s important. What’s important is the opening of your wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as your wings are spread, the winds will carry you forward.

Truth be told, some of the greatest outcomes that transpire in your life will be the ones you never even knew you wanted. As long as you keep your mind open to new perspectives and yourself moving forward, there really are no totally wrong turns in life, only paths you didn’t know you were meant to travel. And you never can be certain what’s around the corner.  It could be everything, or it could be nothing. You keep gliding steadily forward, and then one day you realize you’ve come a long way from where you started.

All details aside, someday all the pieces will come together. Unimaginably good outcomes will likely transpire in your life, even if everything doesn’t turn out exactly the way you had anticipated. And you will look back at the messy times that have passed, smile, and ask yourself…

“How in the world did I get through all of that?”

Now, it’s your turn…

Yes, it’s your turn to give yourself grace for the times when you lacked clarity, and for the poor choices that accidentally hurt others or yourself. Give yourself grace for being young and reckless and unaware. We’ve all made mistakes, and we’ve all been foolish and forgetful at times. These are all vital lessons. And what matters most right now is the willingness to learn and grow from them.

What are some paradoxes in life?

22 paradoxes that will surely change your life

The Opportunity Paradox

Take on less, accomplish more. Success doesn't come from taking on every opportunity. It comes from deploying energy on the opportunities that matter-the 10x opportunities

The Looking Paradox

Sometimes you have to stop looking in order to find what you're looking for.

The Brakes Paradox

Build brakes into your life that allow you to accelerate and hit turns without fear.

The Money Paradox

You have to risk losing money in order to make money

The Failure Paradox

You have to fail more to succeed more. Our greatest periods of growth often stem directly from our greatest moments of failure

The Time Paradox

You have to know your death in order to truly live your life.

The Fear Paradox

The thing we fear the most is often the thing we most need to do Make a habit of getting closer to your fears. Treat them as magnete for your energy. You may find growth on the other side

The Fancy Car Paradox

You see a fancy car and dream of the respect you'd get by driving it while ignoring the person actuaily in it. We all want respect. We believe fancy stuff will earn it. It won't

The Wisdom Paradox

The more you learn, the more you are exposed to the immense unknown. This should be empowering, nat frightening.

The Abilene Paradox

Groups can collectively make a decision that runs counter to the actual individual preferences of many members of the group. The natural desire to avoid rocking the boat prevents people from speaking up.

The Locksmith Paradox

As the locksmith improves at his craft, customers become upset by the lower time input required to deliver a fixed output Same results, but the perception of value changed.

The Advice Paradox

Taking more advice leaves you less well-equipped. Winners learn to filter and selectively implement advice-take the signal, skip the noiso

The Persuasion Paradox

Persuasive people don't argue-they observe, listen, and ask questions. Argue less, persuade more

The Effort Paradox

You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless.

The Productivity Paradox

Work longer, accomplish less Parkinson's Low says that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. Work like a lion instead- sprint, rest, repeat.

The Desire Paradox

Desire leads to more achievement and more suffering. Desire is a powerful force for growth, but the quest for more often distracts from the beauty of enough

The Choice Paradox

More choices, less satisfaction. In a world of abundance, what croces we truly crave is scarcity.

The Destruction Paradox

Those who seek to destroy us sometimes spark the fire that allows us to grow. The injection of chaos makes you stronger.

The Growth Paradox

Growth happens gradually, then suddenly. The best things in life come from allowing compounding to work its magic

The Social Media Paradox

More connectedness, less connected

The Speed Paradox

Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up. Slowing down gives you the time to be deliberate with your actions

The Action Paradox

Sometimes inaction is the most powerful action. Action is about progress. Stillness-inaction-can create it
