The artificial things in our life, whether they are ingredients, forces, things or places, are more likely to create unhealthy extremes in our human experience and expressions which do not occur in a more ancient, naturally coherent environment. So for example, many things or human behaviours that occur in large metropolitan areas would generally not occur in a rural or wilderness area, because they are simply not coherent in such environments. Consequently, the more we use, live-in, and are influenced by the artificial, the more we will lose of our nature-cohering humanity, until eventually we may forget the naturally coherent, whilst we ignorantly accumulate and reap the resulting effects of the artificial.

Computer or machine intelligence is based on the cold logic of information-retrieval and statistical probability. However, this intelligence/logic is inherently not intelligence or logic at all, because only processing rather than true reasoning occurs. Therefore cold logic, which could better be described as make-believe intelligence, is far removed from sentient life intelligence, and at best it can only mimic human intelligence. Such synthetic, machine-like logic does not have a life-based, aware, human consciousness or conscience, and neither does it have subconscious intelligence. Human intelligence is experiential, co-extensive, holistic, and can be all-encompassing. Essentially, the products of AI will never be alive, no matter how sophisticated or complex the machines or algorithms become. When we look at human proclivities, we see that historically the majority of people have lived with an in-built impetus towards wanting to experience (beyond the satisfaction of safety and survival needs). This experience is predominantly focused upon things like intimacy, being cared for and caring, reasoning, learning, awareness, beauty, and wonder, rather than following destructive urges. If this were not so, then humanity would not have survived this long. Furthermore, it seems that we live in a universe that is likewise seeking the greatest possible harmonising coherence.…read more…

A potent reminder of the principle, ‘as above so below’ is that hydrogen is the primary fuel source for stars, as well as a significant fuel source for human beings. Our existence is driven by ancient stars from a primordial past. We are the walking truth of those stars. Light-infused, aware beings on Earth, looking back at our celestial beginnings. And those stars we see today, may one day give rise to a host of other worlds, and a profusion of life in a far distant, boundless future.

The closer we get to witnessing life, “As it is” without our compulsive need to diagnose, make interpretations and judgments of others and situations, the less pain and self-delusion we shall create.

The power of being assertive lies in being true to one’s true nature. When we are true to our true nature, then there is no forcing required to be assertive. We are also confident without being imposing or dogmatic. And such true nature assertiveness arises with a mindful appreciation of the bigger picture.

Ultimately it appears that we are all learning to assimilate the essence and understanding of life and each other.

In assuming, we often believe we have the right to make a prime judgment or move, according to our own views and needs.

According to Physicists, human beings, life, and the universe consist of 99.999999999% empty space at the atomic level. It could be said that human beings are no more physically dense than a movie projected into the atmosphere on Earth. And the Earth is similarly no more than a movie projected into the depths of the cosmos. If we truly consider this, then we realise that we are not living in such a physical world or universe. Therefore, although existence is not as concrete as it appears, the underlying reality appears to be a combination of levels of consciousness and perception, in order to unveil truth. Furthermore, life beyond death, or alternate realities and other dimensions are highly possible, and able to be conceived, because we can now view them as simply being multiple other projections.

We may be driving through the countryside, and see a myriad of trees along the sides of the road, as well as the clouds above us, feel the wind upon our face, the vibrations of the tyres on the road, smell the passing fragrances of nature, the sounds of birds, as well as the humming of our engine and so on, and suddenly realise, that we are experiencing an infinite, almost pointillist, atomically structured life and world through all of our senses.

We attach ourselves unnecessarily when we attach to selfish and conditioned thoughts. These thoughts always have their origin outside of the present, and therefore we are attempting to attach ourselves to something that no longer exists, or has not come into existence.

If someone says this is a truth and they use it to attack another, it is highly likely that it is a pseudo ego truth, based on the illusions of a separating ego.
