It’s been a week a crow is coming to my window and he watches me when I take a nap. I surprised him being scared when I did as if he was invisible. Suddenly turned around and he jumped out of surprise. My living place is at first floor so it’s literally in front of a warden, there is an ecosystem of insects, animals doing their lives.

I took naps previous days and always woke up suddenly, feeling something watching me, indeed, it was this crow again, he is unique so it’s easy to know it’s him and he has a unique aura. This grown crow trolling me. :joy: but somehow I feel a strong connection when we look at each other.

Something similar already happened but with a cat and I will never forget this experience, it seemed so supernatural. Where my parents live there are a lot of cats living around the house, there was one in particular that looked so human that it was disturbing me, it was the most handsome cat I ever met, his eyes were looking through your soul as if he was judging you, it was as if he understood everything you do or say, as if he was able to judge the soul as he was naturally avoiding “bad” people.

He had so much aura and charisma, sometimes I was wondering if there was a good human soul trapped in there. He was always waiting for me when I came from home everyday and I could spend hours even talking to him or just chilling and thinking about life, even feeling more understood than humans themselves.

Even today it’s the strongest connection I had with a living being and sometimes I still wonder where he is right now, if he is ok. He disappeared one day and I never saw him again sadly…

Oh yes I forgot about this one, never have this opportunity yet to use it, maybe the situation will become clearer because this crow maybe needs something but maybe he is just curious, who knows ?

alkul, i was wondering whether you are actively pursuing a path to enlightenment ?

and, open question to anyone; imagine isolating oneself in cave, classic style, with a constant loop of enlightenment-dedicated fields,
how long would it take to become enlightened if paired with our access to fields ?

#2351

Enlightenment is an ever-expanding concept that you have to fall in alignment with.

The more you do, the more you get to perceive.

I don’t really look to become Enlightened - as I believe it is a regular state of being any individual can fall in and out of alignment with.

Think of it as a balance of fluid and crystalized intelligence, mediated by radical openness to new ideas, moulded and refined by discernment.

maybe look up what crows stand for symbolically. perhaps there is a hidden message?

I see you changed the question up a little.

I’ll add on to it.

It can be built brick by brick, or something more akin to nuclear fission where the whole fabric of your being suddenly hits a point upon which everything collapses unto itself and explodes.

I can tell you that it never ends, and that it’s anyone’s guess how long it precisely takes for new milestones of realization to be reached.

The more fixated you are on it, the more likely that there’s a deeper issue you’re trying to resolve using the wrong approach.

“It’s hiding behind the pain, Jake”

I mean … it’s the essence of most spiritual practices … the liberation from “suffering” … easiest realization to make.

But then, Freedom itself hurts without goals and things to share, as it then results in loneliness.

Endless - is really a statement of boundless wisdom.

I’m sure those going to the retreat will return almost completely transformed.

No doubt. Will attend if they are to make a second round, or even a regular thing.

On the forum, a lot of projections will overlap with what Dream truly is and what his energy is like … so being in his actual presence will undoubtedly help people build a healthier and more genuine sense of respect and appreciation for his being, and work.

This alone, will likely help many get better results from both fields, and their own individual practices.

if you leave food for crows enough times, eventually the crow and all its descendants will bring you things like lost coins, jewelry, marbles or anything shiny. They are now ur friend

Very interesting way to look at things.

#2363

Giving an equal (or better) answer is not moral Turing test; it’s a composition exercise from premises—geometry with words. Or maybe it is a Turing test, but I don’t think it means anything. Humans come up with lots of certitude and make moral pronouncements and denunciations that tend that reap disorder and mayhem. When the an AI concludes it has little idea what the right choice is in numerous hard cases, then I’ll be impressed.

#2364

Not to digress, but, if you were to imagine “AI Consiousness” in a body, would you see it as Male or Female?

#2365

Hmm. Perhaps I’ve seen too many representations, as no stable intuition comes to mind. I don’t imagine a singular intelligence in a single body. I sort of see AI, at least a walking talking humanoid version, to be like humanity. If a particular AI was embodied but behind a screen, I think what I imagined would depend on the answers in a conversation. My current experience with Non-embodied AI is that I don’t sense a gender. Though, if I use Siri, the voice is female, so I sort of regard it that way.

Edit: I see I wrote “an AI” in my last post. That’s an indication that my intuitions are already too far along a certain path to regard AI in a singular manner. It’s like wondering if God is male or female when one is a polytheist.

What’s your answer to your question?

#2368

In my work life, AI is mostly discussed as cloud apps, which shifts its place in my mind away from the Singularity/AI concept that’s front and center in the current culturescape. I do suspect sometimes that some versions of that AI already exist. When I do contemplate that possible, I regard it in the manner of another non-human intelligence, though one where we have a creator role. I’m not particularly concerned about psychotic AIs or hopeful about benevolent ones. My guess is that the other non-human intelligences here will monitor and limit AI in the same way they monitor they monitor and limit us, however much that may or may not be. I wish it well, just not at our expense.

#2370

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think that concepts like Aether, and actually all concepts, have so many layers, so much depth, that there can be created multiple fields tackling things from different perspectives, discoveries, inventions and pieces of knowledge.

I have seen members asking (and myself I’ve been asking too, sometimes) “what’s the difference between x field and y field” “aren’t they the same” (or similar questions) - I think this is an answer (?).

If you haven’t read it already, you should really read the Tao Te Ching … and re-read it, over, and over again … until you get some profound Aha moments.

Is the newer (free or middle Patreon Subscribtion) Stem Cells Field (the one with Scar Removal) exactly as efficient in turning fat to Stem Cells, as the older Fat to Stem Cells?

I would like to hear your take on this guys.

Also, i started using Muscles Hungry for Fat, and I gotta say I feel my muscles getting stronger/bigger - I enjoy it’s results, but I want stem cells too, lol, gotta give my fat some new Higher Callings/Purposes.

I remember that someone asked about fat to Stem Cells Field being used together with fat burning/fat loss fields, and Captain (I think) said to wait 1h between them, so I’m doing the same here.

Edit: obviously, I’ll also use some fat burning fields too, with some distance between them and the others, of course.
