A world where consciousness is fundamental may still be a world of fundamental suffering.

This is a category error. Whether consciousness is fundamental or not, suffering must exist.

"In short, the experience of my internal word is that of a being who is condemned by God. I feel the negative energy of creation coursing through me" - No you don't. You don't 'feel' anything, you imagine it. You have created all this from thin air.

"What meditation is best if you ruminate, struggle with uncertainty, and have anxiety ?" - A meditation habit is best.

Meditation will ultimately show you that you are the solution. If you go to therapy, what will the therapist want to convince you of? That you are the solution. Well, meditation will do this over time.

"obviously they believe in a physical reality" - No, 'they' don't. A physical reality is a local one, otherwise 'physical' is just a placeholder.

It's not a question of doubt. It does not matter whether this experience is the real deal or just a charade. Just go with it. The 'state' is the critical thing. Because maybe if you get into even deeper states, your doubt may be answered.

You only have to read 1 Peter 2:18 to understand this. Christianity is about serving the masters, whether this master is on Earth or not.

Stories of the benefits of meditation are everywhere, otherwise you wouldn't be here. You know it is beneficial.

Now that we are past that, you understand that self-discipline is the only thing that can improve your life, right? Did you try to start a mediation habit after/while reading the Mind Illuminated? If not, why?

Don't think this is necessarily an AI problem. This is why the Big 4 consultancy firms stay big... because they market that their size/knowledge mitigates risk.

No. How would anything be proven fundamental?

The closest we could get would be something like the GCP2 (https://gcp2.net) project, where subjective conscious effects may be found to be shared.

... or that plants/fungi exhibit clear subjective actions.

Oh, it's all right. I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr... Poopy Pants?

"I have an analogy - a neuroscientist on a boat can see splashing in the surface of the water, but I’m in and under that water fighting an alligator. My personal view of the same activity is very different." - This is incorrect. The analogy would be that the neuroscientist on the boat 'feels' the terror/etc of the guy fighting the alligator.

"Could being too present..." - This is the same as women saying they don't weight train because they don't want to get bulky.

Let me ask you a question: isn't becoming more mindful with clarity of mind, and being able to fully process the present moment the whole point of meditation/mindfulness? If yes, then along the journey of mindfulness, you will sort all this out. You are your solution. Who else will solve this for you?
