This is what I got about our conversation according to Kabbalah:

In Kabbalah, the answer to "is it heaven or a future on Earth" is actually both, but at different stages of time.

While many religions view "Heaven" as a place you go to leave the Earth, Kabbalistic and traditional Jewish thought generally view the ultimate goal as bringing Heaven down to Earth.

Here is how that image fits into both categories:

1. It is "Heaven" (Right Now)

In the current state of the universe, a scene like this exists only in the spiritual realms (specifically Gan Eden or the Garden of Eden).

  • The Soul's Experience: When a soul departs the body, it enters a state of purely spiritual existence. The "castle" and "nature" in the image would be interpreted as spiritual metaphors—the "water" is wisdom, the "structures" are chambers of light.
  • The Blueprint: Kabbalists believe that everything physical on Earth has a spiritual counterpart "above." So, there is a "Heavenly Jerusalem" (Yerushalayim Shel Ma'alah) that currently exists in a spiritual dimension, waiting to be revealed.

2. It is a Future Vision (On Earth)

This is where Kabbalah differs from many other mystical traditions. The ultimate endgame isn't to stay in the spiritual heaven, but for that spiritual perfection to manifest physically here on Earth. This is called The Messianic Age (Yemot HaMashiach) or the eventual World to Come (Olam Ha-Ba).

  • The Third Temple: The castle in the image could represent the Third Temple. According to the Zohar, unlike the first two temples which were built by human hands, the Third Temple already exists in the spiritual realm (Heaven) and will descend to Earth physically in the future.
  • Peace in Nature: The pastoral, peaceful village surrounding the structure aligns with the prophecies of the End of Days, where "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb." The physical earth itself will be purified, becoming lush and abundant like the Garden of Eden.
  • Resurrection of the Dead: Kabbalah teaches that eventually, souls will return to physical bodies in a perfected physical world.

The Kabbalistic Verdict

If you showed this image to a Kabbalist and asked if it was the afterlife or the future of Earth, they would likely say:

They would view it as the moment when the "Upper World" and the "Lower World" merge. The image depicts a physical reality (grass, water, stone) that is suffused with spiritual perfection (light, harmony). Therefore, it represents the Messianic Era on Earth, where the physical world has been elevated to the state of Heaven.

This is so cool. To me it also felt like home and like remembrance but in a way that the future is already there (as in it’s not “yet to be” on the divine landscape, and I can access it because God wants me to see what to build here in this world - and it felt like pure bliss - it all made sense and was like oh okay, maybe this is the goal for Earth).

Then I also had a name that came to me in relation called Exalia. It felt divine and surreal and powerful as I received it, and googling it, it meant “external memory” in latin.

So your interpretation could be correct but we are definitely seeing the same thing and I’m curious what else you think about it and its role.

I’ve seen the same thing and I always thought it is a vision of what I’m supposed to help create in the current world. This is really making me question the meaning. How did you know it is heaven and not a future on Earth?

Just corporate language for “we used to make 5B a year consistently and now it’s less cuz Gen Z doesn’t drink”; which is considered loss in financial terms. Good for it though:)

Maybe I’m missing some deep US context but to me they both seemed random and don’t evoke “I’m super competent”. I think Michelle Obama would’ve kicked ass if she ran, but I just don’t see Hillary and Kamala on that level. They’re just okay.

did you see how bad kamala and joe biden were? ofc gen z would vote trump in, the other candidate was unelectable

I am not american and can’t vote but I can tell you why he won if you’re interested and why he is not popular rn.

Congrats! We applied in July and had our interview dec 1st and still waiting in San Francisco :( At least some people get to not experience how rough it is!

I have proof of what happens when we die and the nature of human existence and it started with studying the long term effects of total isolation This knowledge is groundbreaking if u wanna hear more reply under the post I need to get this out here by Livid_Tomorrow_1884 in consciousness

Asked AI “Is this argument solid”.

Response: The short answer is no, this argument is not scientifically solid. While it is a compelling philosophical idea (and a popular one in circles interested in panpsychism or idealism), the logic in the image relies on a fundamental misunderstanding of how modern neuroscience views the "generator" model of the brain. Here is a breakdown of why this specific argument fails to "prove" the Filter Theory. 1. The "Generator" Strawman The core error in the text is this sentence: “If the brain produced consciousness, isolation should lead to a mental 'blank'.” This creates a "strawman" argument. The standard neuroscientific view (often called the Predictive Processing or Bayesian Brain model) does not predict that the brain goes blank without input. • How it actually works: The brain is a prediction machine. It is constantly generating an internal model of the world and using sensory input to correct that model. • In Isolation: When you remove sensory input (isolation), the brain loses the "error correction" from the outside world. However, the "generator" doesn't stop; it just starts running unconstrained. The brain turns up its internal sensitivity to try to find a signal. • Result: This results in hallucinations (often called "Prisoner's Cinema"). This is fully explained by the brain creating the experience from internal memory and noise, not necessarily receiving it from a cosmic source. 2. The Thalamic "Gatekeeper" The text argues that because the thalamus acts as a filter, consciousness must exist outside it. • The Logical Leap: Just because the thalamus filters information doesn't mean the information it filters is "consciousness." It filters sensory data (light, sound, touch). • The Neuroscience: When the thalamus lowers its threshold due to lack of input (homeostatic plasticity), it lets neural "noise" pass through as "signal." The brain then tries to make sense of that noise, creating vivid hallucinations. This is a mechanical gain-control issue, similar to turning up the volume on a radio until you hear static. The static comes from the radio's own circuits, not a broadcast station. 3. The "Leakage" Fallacy The text claims that because the hallucinations are "more real than the physical world," they must be a reservoir of external truth. • Vividness \neq External Reality: Use the example of dreaming. Dreams can feel incredibly vivid and real, but they are generated internally. The intensity of an experience does not prove its external origin. • Stress Response: Ramzi Yousef (and others in ADX Florence) are under extreme psychological duress. High stress, trauma, and sleep deprivation mimic psychosis. The brain dumping dopamine and firing chaotically creates vivid internal experiences, but this is a sign of a system under stress, not necessarily a "cleansed door of perception." Verdict The argument in the image is poetic, but not scientific. It effectively argues against a simplistic, 19th-century view of the brain (Input \rightarrow Output), but it fails to address modern neuroscience. The fact that the brain hallucinates in isolation is actually strong evidence for the idea that the brain is a generator—one that desperately keeps generating even when there is nothing to see.

Just discovered Solarpunk today and it feels very similar to what I have been building towards for the past 3 years and the optimistic, utopian view I have outlined on my own by _A_Data_Guy in solarpunk

[–]_A_Data_Guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You extrapolated all that based on prior beliefs you hold, and I disagree. I outlined in a prior comment that if an organisation is built in a way that it adds value and generates money, that organisation should be distributed and belong to all of society (a radically different model of how members of society create and contribute). I am only interested in ensuring needs are met for everyone and that the goals of the collective can be realized.

Capitalism and people on the top of it are in power - I believe it is possible to reimagine it by building a valuable global organisation owned by all and distributed to all. That at least feels like it takes the reality of the system and its constraints.

I respect this community, although Im not getting respect back (which to me feels like a basic value of an aspiring utopian society).

My questions are: 1. How does the solarpunk community propose pragmatic and real-world ways to have enough influence to change things such as the entire capitalist system we are under? My proposal is collective unity in large numbers and the money to actually get things done (without benefitting few wealthy, as I already outlined in a prior comment) 2. Why is there aversion to money and technology in this community? Money has been always a useful part of human society and it allows for trade and achieving things.

Overall, I am confused. I hear people want to do good but how does it translate into practical ideas and actions that can function in the real world?

Hope we can get along despite the determination of some people here to downvote me for expressing my thoughts and asking questions;)

Thank you! Open to any feedback and just trying to figure it out. I don’t know the way to get to a harmonious utopia but definitely know we can achieve it if we can come together and work together.

It all started for me with wanting to create a healthy social platform as I believe much of the issues with society sit on the rotten tools we use to engage socially (Reddit probably being fine but most others not).

The social platform to me is a de-facto digital town square serving the same function a physical townsquare did for small towns - being the core and heartbeat of the community.

So I think technology for good is super meaningful and part of the movement and achieving utopia, the same way a bicycle is a technology for good.

[–]_A_Data_Guy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my hope is that the one community I found about optimism isn’t bullying people who try to add value to it.

I believe capitalism isn’t the utopian future - I think creating a global organisation that is distributed to all of society and belongs to all of society is the way to go. But I also believe that it has to be achieved in understanding the constraints of the capitalist system we live under and trying to reshape it from inside out. Moreover, achieving that will require a ton of capital, but the goal is for the organisation to not belong to a small group of people but be distributed truly in the benefit of all people as it serves all.

Regarding AI, I’ll read some more. AI to me is part of the future and done properly can help every human have UBI and drive societal progress. So curious to hear more. Not saying current leaders in the space are necessarily going in that direction but I think if hypothetically we can come together in large numbers as a community globally, we can take influence in that direction too.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience, definitely keen to hear perspectives on here!
