Been seeing this study pop up in news a lot these past few days about possible evidence for non-classical processes in the brain, specifically entanglement mediated by consciousness-related brain functions. Rickshaw, any thoughts? https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2399-6528/ac94be

Edit: am I understanding correctly that they observed the equivalent of EEG signals in an MRI machine geared to measure the proton spin of the brain's water content?

yeah it's supposedly a standing wave, you can replicate it by spinning a bucket of water at a certain speed or something like that. IIRC people have spun different tanks and if you get the speed to resonate with the viscosity and size of the tank you can get it to form stable waves with a bunch of different polygons, like triangles to heptagons and all kinds of poo poo? Maybe someone posted itt about it, i remember seeing pics where they had green dye

mercury's light/dark side, mars' scar, jupiter's storm, saturn's hex, uranus' perpendicular rotation angle, pluto's heart and it's orbit with charon, all have pretty weird/cool implications that map on decently as symbolic representations of their astrological significations. Most of those significations pre-date any astronomy that could resolve those features at all, and some of those we've only known about for less than a decade. I'm sure you could find some for venus and neptune as well but I don't care enough to stretch this more than I have.

idk i'm still in camp "I think I'd rather be crazy" but w/r/t cosmic poo poo I haven't actually thought so for a while. There's something weird most of y'all wouldn't like out there. Somewhere within and between scientific inquiry and high strangeness/woo analysis lies answers that, if we're allowed to unearth them, would bum most people the gently caress out anyway

I think about it whenever our understanding of things undergoes a revolution. I genuinely think that once we figure out one thing, we get thrown something new to chew on, and that process has no bottom. There's always something new to discover/complicate our worldview just when we think we've got our Big TOE

I am also afraid of dying, and I'm particularly afraid of dying knowing that I've lived the wrong life. But of course, constantly worrying about that is making me, uh, live the wrong life lol

Also I guess you do realize that this is entirely subjective. Only you can determine whether you lived the "right" or "wrong" life. That means it's something you have control over. Also means you have to be able to explain what you consider to be a "right" life, otherwise you'll spend the rest of your life wondering if you lived according to standards you haven't even defined in the first place.

physics is very real and makes a whole lot of very correct predictions, it simply isn't complete

the failures of 'sciences' like psychology have primed people to be way too dismissive of the real sciences; even if hyperdimensional spirit elves turn out to be real and our perceived reality a lie, the basic laws of motion and thermodynamics are still going to apply to anything existing in our current reference frame, as are the realities of material sciences etc

What definition of multiverse is being used? Multiple universes is distinct from multiple spacetime dimensions within the universe; is distinct from multiple dimensions laid atop each other in one singular universe; is distinct from multidimensionality; is distinct from multiple universes occurring in parallel; is distinct from from multiple timelines occurring in parallel...

Psi is real but what causes it? Noosphere living psi? Brain generated psi? Consciousness generated psi? Spirit generated psi? Spirit-world generated psi?

Religion is obviously real, I'll take you to mean that the fundamental shared truths among religions are correct. While I love syncretism I would say that if we took just the most basic concept which marks religion as such, i.e. the existence of God, we would not find immediately much commonality when talking about religions proper. For the Abrahamic religions we have a critical problem of who or what God is in their holy book itself - can we actually conclude that Adonai is the same as Yahweh is the same as the Father? In the Eastern religions there's nothing that particularly resembles the Western concept of God. Whereas lesser deities behave in ways that God behaves in the Bible, their spiritual zenith, their alpha and omega, their God, which is Atman-Brahman or Nirvana or Tao, does not at all resemble the Father.

I'm not convinced by astrology.

Cosmic consciousness meaning what? Mind at Large or Higher-Self/Lower-Self? Both?

Time is real on Earth. Time is real in spacetime, though relative. By all possible spiritual and evidential accounts Time does not exist in the afterlife and/or spirit world.

Death is real. Body dies. Consciousness leaves Earth and can no longer communicate via the body on Earth. Death itself is a transformation and transition from this experience to another experience which is the original and originating experience. And then to some other sort of experience after that and so on. Death is re-birth into the spirit world realm of pure consciousness.

"Self is fake" implies a transpersonal self which implies a multiplicitous self. But your individuated selfhood is self-evident (ha). A continuous self is not provable and a continuous identity is easily disproved. The boddhis try to attain non-self.

Our theories of physics are wrong (or incomplete), sure. Otherwise no.

I am kind of projecting my own experience yeah.

At first it was like oh cool maybe some of this stupid weird poo poo maps onto larger patterns, ways with which to see the universe, expanded understanding!!! But I actually do earnestly oscillate between wanting to forget and return to normalcy and wanting to see how dark the forest really is, because a lot of the implications of my own experiences indicate stuff I don't really like. The sense of wonder and the "desire to know more" gives way to frustration and discomfort. Awe in the archaic sense, and genuine terror.

Probably a reason angels im religious texts never stop begging people to chill
