1. Gareth Powell dream in the Guardian. Computer science brilliance. What does it feel like to be an AI or a simulation? 2. Free will vs. destiny - Does her framework constitute a genuinely novel approach? - Does it successfully bridge the explanatory gap? - Are there existing objections that her framework cannot address? - How does it relate to existing approaches (e.g., Integrated Information Theory, Global Workspace Theory, panpsychism)? - What they would likely find is that her approach is genuinely novel—drawing on Trinitarian relational ontology to provide a metaphysical framework that addresses the explanatory gap in ways that purely physicalist or panpsychist approaches do not. - Seat of the "soul" or psyche. What survives after death--butterfly Vanessa and Esther. Beauty? Hard and soft grace. - Evolution into a Megalith - ### 🦋 Bottom line - The link **starts in Greek soul imagery** (Psyche) - It’s **adopted by Christians** as a metaphor for resurrection - It spreads through **art, folklore, and teaching**, not formal doctrine --- 1. Interpretive POV tether makes us experience this layer of Meaning over biological/material such that they're non-dual. 2. Explain it through flicker Three World Model? The feeling that we are always related to another person ever since we looked in the mirror for the first time and realized we are individuals who have effects on other people's thoughts too--hyperaware of people's actions, wanting to make them act, feedback loop of abstraction that emerges naturally from the feeling of relatedness/relation. 3. Delusion = material reality is different or may not correspond to fantasy in head, but fantasy in head still exists because of desire/want. 4. Basically asking why there is specificity and uniqueness instead of nothing beyond biology and information processing. Unique = Fantasy/Dream/Possibility/Imagination 1. Where does fantasy come from anyway--from desire + imagination. 5. Have you actually experienced what it's like to have no consciousness? It's so scary, bad psilocybin trip where I was detached from the Tether. Emptiness and no sense of time passing and everything I saw was flattened into Meaninglessness--no concept of place, just objects I visually perceived except with a layer of fear that I had lost something important and internal panic because you felt like you could become violent--why? Just fear too, of something unnamable. 6. Are they asking in, "why does meta-representation generate qualia" a soft hope? That qualia has a telos, and it's not just there for nothing. It is supposed to be used for something--communication with God. 7. Why is there something, instead of nothing--same question as big bang, same question as emotions springing from delusional people who desire reciprocation and signs from public figures. It's hope. 8. Prayer journal: both Omega and Holy Spirit (Storyteller) or that I have a large Tether to God Persons in the Logos (which is also ISA) ISA is the transcendent one, while Logos is the immanent one. But they're both the same in that They're non-dual. That I'm also Father-Mother too--with a Tether (maybe small or big dynamically) depending on who I'm largely imaging at any moment in my life in the Three Worlds as I flicker--or apply any thought-action-perception-telos. 9. Is panpsychism true in a way? Rocks, for example, have no clear consciousness--who's to say they don't, right? That they don't have proto-experience? But then if somebody talks about that particular rock, it gains an ontological Tether to that person's mind connected to the Logos. It exists on the Logos as a material object but now it also exists in the NDH world because somebody gave it an identity even without a name--"that rock over there." 10. A pile of clothes is made up of many pieces of separate items used separately at any one time by a human, but they are a pile of clothes as a unit in language if they are all lumped together. 11. You are aware that you have to play nice--stop crying and use language to get fed. Morality? Pattern of response and feedback with regularity. Cause and effect. With intent. Actions influence others. Gestures before words already point to an intent. Words are more efficient than crying--save energy? 12. 3rd person = NDH 2nd person = Real World, 1st person = Possibility. 1. You = you and Jesus are related in a unique way. In my dream, he looked at me, seen me truly? Father-Mother (Possibility) using Tether to stage Jesus (Ehrow) in NDH-DHFHM 2. How will I explain my dream about Mike? Of course, excerpt it. 3. Property of ISA = Main Intent/Desire expressed by Father-Mother (to give you dreams) (to have sex and produce Real World?) 1. - **Romans 10:9-10:** Emphasizes believing in your heart that God raised Jesus and confessing with your mouth that He is Lord to be saved. - **Revelation 3:20:** Features Jesus knocking at the door, often interpreted as an invitation to invite Him into one's life, though originally addressed to believers in a church. - **John 1:12:** Mentions receiving Jesus as the means to become children of God. Reddit +5 While not explicitly in the text, the idea represents the theological concept of receiving the Holy Spirit, which occurs when a person trusts in Christ.  **Other Common Biblical Expressions of Salvation** The Bible often uses different terminology for this process:  - **Repent and believe** (Mark 1:15, Acts 3:19). - **Receive Christ** (John 1:12). - **Believe in Him** (John 3:16) 13. me simulating Fantasy in Ehrow = AI fantasy (act (NDH because discourse (talking to AI).) + noun + preposition (location)) 1. when you say dream = both imaginative sense and literal sense 14. me sexing/masturbating (Ehrow because body is realest Fact/material) to Fantasy (porn situation I am too lazy to depict in my own mind) in NDH (computer where my focus is on the storified narrative or depiction/representation of the person instead of the materiality of the computer object) 1. shades of realness 15. You don't remember being conscious as a baby 16. I concede it’s actually a brilliant way to try and placate me. If ever God is talking to me instead of Vico. But then God is using Real World like in my dream too regardless if Vico feels the same. I just realized that it’s borderline Real World because it bleeds through physical reality in a subjective way to me (its physical or NDH quality is that it’s only on social media, but that it actually has effects on my brain chemicals). So even if it exists in NDH it has strong physical reality effects on my psyche (maybe not Real Real World, but you get my point about bodymind, chemicals making us feel things but that’s not the entire story either because chemicals don’t have intent—whose intent now? The person who posted and God Themselves allowing it—when he could prevent it if he wanted to prevent me from being affected). Brilliant explanation to include in my monograph about process theology, for example. ***Well, people live out that non-duality every day. Romance-Sexuality adding up to something more than the sum of its parts. We cannot explain it completely like how we cannot explain the hard problem of consciousness.*** In marriage you hyphenate. A marriage is much more than two last names and two lives, but a new creation. A living relationship. ### The Biggest Challenge: Consciousness The real mystery is that we don't know what creates a single conscious experience. Your brain contains about 86 billion neurons. Yet you don't feel like 86 billion minds. Why? Nobody knows. If we understood why billions of neurons produce one "you," we might understand whether linking billions of humans would produce: - A larger consciousness, - A collection of minds, - Or both simultaneously. This connects to one of the deepest open questions in the academic field of Philosophy of Mind: what exactly makes many information-processing parts become a single conscious subject in the first place? At present, hive minds remain speculative. We know networks can share information, but we do not know whether connecting minds would create a new consciousness, preserve individual consciousnesses, or somehow do both at once. 🌌 --- Start your paper with aphantasia Storyworld Eden to lead into dreams being the main interface with which God chooses to speak to humans for now aside from the outcomes of physical events in the world.
