RE: [FairfieldLife] Can the Human Brain be Improved?
Without knowing the science to honest, but it seems to me that direction is important in our relationship to the universe and time, right direction at the right speed, slows down our time and we can just wait for the universe to pass till gets to the point where we want to go. Of course that science or science fiction,in what could be our life time or less would be light years to everybody else.
RE: [FairfieldLife] Can the Human Brain be Improved?
With the present makeup of human beings, it is impossible to travel at the speed of light. But scientists theoretically know time slows down drastically at the speed of light. So, it would seem instantaneous for someone to travel half a galaxy away to another planet. In a sense we can transcend our limitations by knowing what it would be like if humans were not made of matter. This makes me wonder what did Vyasa, the writer of Srimad Bhagavatam, know when he wrote some of the stories in the book. Did he really know that Narada could travel to other worlds in an instant? How did he know that the "prajapatis", or cosmic executives, spread humankind throughout the universe. So, if there are humans throughout the universe, where are they? How come no ETs have contacted us or visited us? If we don't know the answer, is it because our mental capacities are drastically limited during the Kali Yuga that we can't understand humans from Satya Yuga, like Vyasa or Patanjali who wrote their books to make us understand. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Does it help to talk about a personal experience , maybe one can talk about experience itself, I thought Biblical "Job " gives a good account ,but its popularly known as an account of great suffering, not a Throne of God experience.

Job had the Throne of God experience because he care deeply about his world.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Can the Human Brain be Improved?
Knowing the infinity of the universe, humans could never visit physically all of the galaxies around us. Plus we're limited by the speed of light. Ultimately, humans will have to rely on their visions (including remote sensing/viewing) to understand and verify the world. I don't believe any advanced AI can do this based on our present technology. But I still value the ideas presented by San Juan de la Cruz regarding "the dark night of the soul". In my opinion, he was rephrasing the concepts of transcendental consciousness, cosmic consciousness and God consciousness from the vedic texts. Regarding Ezekiel and other Hebrew visionaries including the Gospels, they were conveying something in words that signify spiritual ideas. For example, Ezekiel appeared to be describing a UFO in the Old Testament, but the reader needs to understand the symbolisms steeped in the Hebrew tradition and culture. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : IMO, about 10% of the Batgap people are very impressive, perhaps led by Harri Aalto.

Hey, Rick I thought the latest interview with Jude Currivan on BatGap was very interesting. Meeting those archetypes, which she discussed, must be mysterious. The current guru on UTube to discuss this is Dr. Pillai, who's mentioned about archetypes from ancient Egypt. Can you find someone who had visions of Shiva or Zeus? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Thursday, July 6, 2017 3:26 PM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Can the Human Brain be Improved? > That's a good point, but Kurzweil probably won't like it.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Can the Human Brain be Improved?
Thx, about a dozen of the Batgappers have extraordinary psychic abilities, impressive in my book. As to the rest, most are boring Neo-Advaitins having only one message: everything is pure Consciousness. That's only one statement of fact, while what comes after (or before) that Realization taking place only once, is an Infinity of possibilities including exploration of other galaxies and universes. As a next step on the evolutionary ladder, try shifting the focus from "Pure Consciousness" to Neg-Entropy, i.e. as an individual Soul, consider two choices: 1. Dissolving completely into Nothingness with no more further relative bodies. 2. Infinite continuum of evolution viewing the "Soul" (subtle body) as an active Agent for doing good in the world for countless eons to come, perhaps even forever. That's the choice: 1. No existence, or 2 Eternal relative existence using one or more Subtle bodies. The notion of Lesh Avidya or whatever they call it (a remnant of ignorance needed to maintain a celestial relative existence), is completely bogus. The Absolute can not be more or less 100% Absolute, whether there's a body there or not. Sustaining a body is not dependent on "Ignorance". Ramana Maharshi once stated that he had 20 subtle bodies operating on different planes of existence, simultaneously As a first step using the Neg-Entropic model, consider the Siddhi of out of body travel to anyplace in the multiverse. That's the goal of Gurus in the Sant Mat Tradition, like Kirpal Singh.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Can the Human Brain be Improved?
That's a good point, but Kurzweil probably won't like it. I believe the Christian mystic Teilhard de Chardin wrote about his Omega Man, which is his version of a human in cosmic consciousness or God-consciousness. But can Rick Archer find someone who can levitate to show us that a human being has broken through the barrier of mediocrity? :) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Heh!
