Well, here’s hoping that the zero point event for AI opens a new age of enlightenment for mankind.
That we are able to utilize a computer that could in effect eventually become infinitely more intelligent than man…to solve some of the problems that have vexed man for some time now.
Surely, we could cure cancer…end world hunger…employ free cheap nonpolluting energy…
Hell…it probably could map out for you step by step how to survive as a species.

We don't need an AI to do it, just for people to start caring more for each other than they want to shoot them. There are people and beings around who already know about those things, no other AIs needed (that includes us, and I'm guessing some of the space aliens are 'artificial' themselves). If someone can send a monolith here, they can send themselves a 'replicator' to build themselves upon arrival or some other trigger, if for some reason they don't want to make the journey themselves. Personally, I think that would be the prudent thing to do. I think it would have taken more time than the decade or so after of after WWII for people to start replicating caches of ancient technology enough to make the amount and variation of flying saucers/anti-grav stuff we saw even in the 50's. It's that or purely human time-travelers, and to me that's kind of boring. If they sent a monolith those lovely people had better have sent themselves too. A monolith would be such a letdown.

From our future selves…I agree, how boring…they must have known (being from the future) that although interesting, no one would really give a fuck about it.
Plus our future selves must be mentally challenged putting them in Georgia of all places.

New research has found that types of empathy can be predicted by looking at physical differences in the brain.
This raises the fascinating possibility that some kinds of empathy might be able to be increased by training or that it might be possible for people to lose their empathy over time.

A team of scientists, from Monash University, found that people who have what’s termed “affective” empathy, where they have a strong emotional response to what someone might be feeling or thinking, have denser grey matter in a certain region of the brain compared with those who have “cognitive” empathy, or people who have a more logical response to another’s emotional state.

“People who are high on affective empathy are often those who get quite fearful when watching a scary movie, or start crying during a sad scene,” explained Robert Eres, who co-authored the study. “Those who have high cognitive empathy are those who are more rational, for example a clinical psychologist counselling a client.”

The researchers looked at 176 people and used data from a neuroimaging technique known as a “voxel-based morphometry,” which analyzes the density of a type of brain tissue called grey matter.

The team wanted to know whether this could be predictive of how they would score on a test that rated them on a scale of affective to cognitive empathy.
They found that those who had high effective empathy also had denser grey matter in a region called the “insular cortex,” which is folded into the center of the brain.

Conversely, they found that people who scored highly for cognitive empathy had denser grey matter in the “midcingulate cortex,” a region found just above the connection between the two hemispheres.

“Taken together, these results provide validation for empathy being a multi-component construct, suggesting that affective and cognitive empathy are differentially represented in brain morphometry," claim the researchers in their paper, published in the journal NeuroImage.

Additionally, the authors say this could provide evidentiary support that empathy is represented by different structures and brain cell populations.
According to the scientists, the finding that empathy can be linked to differences in the brain's physiology raises the question of whether changes in those regions alter people’s capacity to understand how others feel.

It might also suggest that empathy could be lost if those regions aren’t used regularly enough.
“In the future we want to investigate causation by testing whether training people on empathy related tasks can lead to changes in these brain structures and investigate if damage to these brain structures, as a result of a stroke for example, can lead to empathy impairments,â says Eres.

The Heart's Intuitive Intelligence:
A path to personal, social and global coherence
​


​
[video=youtube;QdneZ4fIIHE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QdneZ4fIIHE[/video]

The Spiritual Heart -- is in a way a little like a smart phone, invisibly connecting us to a large network of information.
It is through an unseen energy that the heart emits that humans are profoundly connected to all living things.

The energy of the heart literally links us to each other.
Every person's heart contributes to a 'collective field environment.'

This short video explains the importance of this connection and how we each add to this collective energy field.
The energetic field of the heart even connects us with the earth itself.

The HeartMath Institute (http://www.heartmath.org) is helping provide a more comprehensive picture of this connection between all living things through a special science-based project called the Global Coherence Initiative (http:///www.heartmath.org/gci.)
They hope to help explain the mysteries of this connection between people and the earth...and even the sun.

Scientists at the HeartMath Institute (HMI) have already conducted extensive research on the power of heart, the heart/brain connection, heart intelligence and practical intuition.

Whether personal relationships, social connections, or even the global community - we are all connected through a field of electromagnetic energy.
Increasing individual awareness of what we bring to this field environment could be the key to creating a sustainable future, a future that we can be proud to have helped create.
To learn more about this research please visit https://www.heartmath.org/about-us/vi....

How To Open The Doors Of Perception At Will, Without Psychedelics


girl_door_field.jpg

​
“The door to the soul is unlocked; you do not need to please the doorkeeper, the door in front of you is yours, intended for you, and the doorkeeper obeys when spoken to.”
-Robert Bly


​
What if you found out there was a key that would enable you to open and close your doors of perception at will, void of psychedelics?
What if you found out you not only held the key, but you were the key?

Would you unlock the doors, or keep them shut?
Well, you are the key, and whether or not you choose to enter through the doors is a choice that, although invisible, is life changing.

You are the vehicle for the trip, consider this but a mere travel summary.
And for a detailed itinerary?

Well, that can only be fetched by you -not the part of you reading this, but the altered dream state part of your consciousness that will travel beyond the doors of perception to the wildness of the world where there is a livingness to all things- as it can only be found in a place with exclusive access.

A place where you can travel, but no one may follow -not even the conscious, waking state version of yourself scanning these very words.
If you have experimented with psychedelics, you most likely know what it is like to sense the type of “livingness” to all things of which I speak.

Even if you haven’t used psychedelics, though, you almost certainly have still experienced this same livingness to all things in the world around you to a noticeable degree at least once, but probably various times as a child -a moment where the world around you took on a shimmery glow, colours suddenly appeared brighter, sounds louder and clearer, physical sensations amplified and, most notably, you could FEEL the world around you.

I am not referring to the physical, touching type of feeling, but to the intangible, energy sense of feeling where you could almost feel the luminosity of the world around you within, and you and the luminous rested in harmony as if you were one.

You were present, your perceptions altered, your senses heightened. In short, your sensory gating channels opened to some degree, a process more commonly referred to as opening your doors of perception.

Sensory Gating Explained: The Science Behind the Doors of Perception​

The “doors of perception” are the part of our brain and central nervous system responsible for filtering input from all external stimuli, involving all of your senses -feeling (both physical and nonphysical), sight, sound, taste and smell.

This process, known as “sensory gating,” enables us to decipher the difference between “me” and “not me.”
Through sensory gating, we are able to manage and comprehend the constant stream of sensory data from the external environment.

Without it, we would be unable to filter out what matters and what doesn’t, and all sensory data would touch us deeply and ultimately, we would become overstimulated and overwhelmed and go “crazy” -according to modern medicine, that is.

You see, many of the people who are now referred to as “schizophrenics” have wide sensory gating channels that they do not know how to close, causing an overload in stimulus. In indigenous cultures, these people would have instead been called SHAMANS, and would have been taught how to control their doors of perception and open and close them as need be.

There are ways to begin opening the doors of perception, or sensory gating channels, without using psychedelics.
Of course, the experience will not be as intense or immediate, but nor will it be short lived.

Rather, by utilizing practices that help open your sensory gating channels to some degree by altering your state of consciousness, you learn to open the doors of perception into the metaphysical background of the world and continuously uncover deeper truths to yourself and the world around you.

In essence, playing with the doors of perception in this manner, rather than through the use of mind altering substances, allows you to do more than have a life changing experience in which you see the deeper meanings to life for a brief period of time (i.e. a “trip”), but to change your life where every moment is an experience in a continuous journey into further, unexplored depths of life.

Listen to Aldous Huxley’s in depth description of the doors of perception, and the mechanisms through which the mind opens and closes them here.

Hypnosis and Meditation​

“ …those who have experimented with hypnosis find that, at a certain depth of trance, it happens not too infrequently that subjects, if they are left alone and not distracted, will become aware of an immanent serenity and goodness that is often associated with a perception of light and of spaces vast but not solitary.”(Aldous Huxley, The Devils of Loudon 99).”

​
Practicing hypnotherapy and/or meditation on a regular basis is an excellent way to begin dabbling into the metaphysical backgrounds of yourself and of the world by tapping into your subconscious, into otherwise ignored parts of your mind.

These practices help open doors in the mind where things such as past traumas that are holding you back have remained imprisoned for years, desperately waiting for you to free them and thus yourself.

Meditation and hypnotherapy are also great tools for getting in touch with your intuition, helping you to see the bigger picture of current problems, allowing you to focus on the deeper truths and lessons they withhold rather than getting trapped in the mundane surface details of your problems.

In fact, when observed in this light, they eventually cease to be problems and are instead rendered avenues of inner exploration and growth.
Here are some guided hypnosis and meditation sessions that may be of benefit.

The Sixth Sensory Channel: The Feeling Capacity


​
The 6th sensory channel, also known as the feeling capacity, refers to the ability of humans to feel, as opposed to touch.
It refers to the invisible type of feeling, as opposed to the feeling sense of physical touch embodying the ingredients of the five senses of human beings.

One is invisible and subjective, the other solely portrays the mostly objective experience of physical touching, of feeling the texture of a person or object.

The feeling sense referring to the ability to feel the invisibles describes the feelings that stir within as we encounter various experiences in our day to day life, sometimes called a sixth sense, or the sixth sensory channel.

To better understand the sixth sensory channel, consider the following example: you come home from work and ask your partner what’s wrong.
“Nothing,” they brashly reply.

But, by the tone of their voice, you know nothing means everything, and that you better respond with something along the lines of, “please tell me what’s wrong,” unless you want to endure a silent dinner -one that also evokes a feeling sense, as the silence speaks volumes and is filled with tension, making you uneasy- and sleep on the couch that night.

Simply put, awakening to the feeling sense that is not often spoken of as it is not included in the five senses that we are taught we have, cultivates your feeling capacity, your ability to feel the invisible, unspoken and unseen meanings of situations, and of things both yourself and others do and say.

In order to develop your feeling capacity, pay attention to the way things feel.
Interpret situations with your heart first, then your thoughts.

For a deeper understanding of the sixth sensory channel and how you can begin to reclaim your feeling sense, consider listening to this in this interview with Stephen Buhner.

The amusing thing is, my breathing actually did calm and even out; I started breathing deeply and serenely, and ended with a peaceful, fond smile on my face. :D

You go through all that and effort to create something so visually intriguing, to just plaster it with such inane generic comments like "Balance personal rights with social duties" and "Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts". Why not just hang a bunch of motivational posters on it.

Truth!

There is no way on earth B and I would have been brought together by ordinary relationship means like dating and such. Then we met in this backwater town and despite our huge differences in personalities and entrenched beliefs.....for a brief moment in time we shared earthly love....and now share eternal love across dimensions.

Paulo Coelho's book The Alchemist was wonderful.
 
You know, I have been looking at my houseplants a lot and thinking about nature in general…and how trees that make fruit do so not only as a source of fertilizer for the seeds continued therein, but many plants have made fruit tasty to attract animals to eat it and carry it to be fertilized by their excrement.
The same goes with plants that developed burrs on their seeds to stick to the fur of animals.

My point being, there is some kind of awareness by the plant happening to make such evolutionary changes.
It must be somewhat conscious of the world around it.


The same goes for things like caterpillars that mimic the head and eyes of a snake to deter birds from eating it.
How do you explain that? There must be some kind of observation going on and reasoning on a very basic level to make such evolutionary changes.

What's also interesting is that some plants trigger their own death. Basils for example pretty much stop growing once they've flowered, and the actual flowering is what somehow triggers the change. If you pick off the flowers before they form then the plant doesn't go into its seed stage and keeps growing. I have basils that are several years old that I've been pruning carefully to keep them producing leaves, some times aggressively cutting portions of it back to get it to bud more towards the base of the plant because they become very leggy and deformed with age after a while.
