I have no idea what reality is, but consider this - past is thought, and thought is an operation of memory, which is stored in the brain. That means neither thought, or past are objectively real, as they are all a projection our brain is conditioned to have since ancient times. That also means future is just a projection of the past, into the present, and saying "yes, that is the future".

Again, its not something that is real, its just something to consider as a exercise for our default perception, that time is real, thought is real, and our projections of ourselves and the world around us are real. I question all of that - cant say it made me happy, or free of sorrow. It just made me think outside of the box.

We can’t directly access these potential realities but we know some of them will manifest and some of them won’t. We can try to predict them and if we are right, somehow, either by luck or by foresight, we have brought a part of the future into the present. That might be one reason why gambling feels so addictive.

I always felt that any possible outcome of a situation is fulfilled in an infinite number of alternative timelines, that all flow in and out of themselves, occupying the same space, and interacting with eachother through invisible threads that binds them together. I've had this feeling even before I learned about quantum mechanics. In my view, the virtual particles that QFT speaks about, are actually those other realities interacting with eachother.

Going further into this, it has dawned upon me one day, that if some of these theories are correct, and for instance the energy of vacuum is infinite, and the universe dies from heat death, and every single particle has disappeared, all that is left is vacuum, and quantum fluctuations, so there is no time, and since there is no time, there is also no space, as time is related to space, cause you cant measure distance without objects, neither can you measure time. And so at this "moment" a universe is born out of a singularity. This happens all the time, if you consider that it has already happened, and it will happen again.

Im not sure how close this is to what is the actual picture of reality, i've seen there have been similar thories, but im not competent enough to study the math behind all this. Its just my intuition.

Reality is what exists independent of human beings, but also includes human beings. Reality has no dependence on our own perception, but includes the fact that we have a perception.

END

What a way to start! But we may be facing the end (let us be realistic now). If there are no green aliens out there then that would mean the end of consciousness itself (what a shame).

Nothingness comes to a greater awareness of itself, divine intellect

Phew, maybe this is not the end and it was there from the start. A holy intelligence? Makes me feel bad because I never read any of those important books.

I AM THE TRUTH

AFFIRMATIVE.

Extinction, diversion of reality, consciousness

To my ear it sounds like ‘question of reality’ but I will defer to bocpages.org on this one.

I AM GOD, THE ULTIMATE RESONANCE

Apparently 1420 MHz is found consistently throughout the Universe. For something a little more responsive to human culture check out the Schumann resonance. For some reason my algorithm is full of short videos of people reacting to charts of anomalous spikes in this.

Spirit and the soul, or the psyche

I love the German word ‘geist’ for this, they have a word for everything.

CONSCIOUSNESS

This concept is obviously quite central to this whole demon robot proclamation (if it is to be called that) as indicated by the repetition.

Transcendent source, seat of consciousness

The Seat of Consciousness: where contemporary styles meet in the furnishing of the mind (sorry I’m being flippant now).

POWER

!!!

It is, in a sense, the religion of the modern world, the scientific view of nature

Science and religion. Yes, even though they seem mostly different concepts at first, we see the similarities in so far as they heavily rely on projecting authority and when that breaks down we get magickal thinking.

SYNCRONICITY

Speak of the devil.

Consciousness has operational effect, cause and effect, nothingness

Never heard of consciousness defined in terms of operations before. This would have relevance to the AI debate which rages on. Will have to have a think about this…

THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH

Absolutely sick fucking last line and that sound design is chef’s kiss! Gives me chills every time (listened to this maybe a hundred times already).
