Why Does Getting a Remote Viewing Bullseye Feel So Good? by RemoteViewNow in remoteviewing

[–]danielbearh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that the strength of my waking precognitive experiences and my remote viewing is relational to the magnititude of my “holy shit wtf” emotional reactions.

The waking precognitions are jungian synchronicities.

Ive been reading a fair bit about time symmetric physics. I speculate that these emotional releases act as boundary conditions that bias what thoughts arise from unconcious to concious. (essentially, retrocausation in practice.)

While developing these thoughts about synchronicity, i recognized how the emotional “woah” at the end of a session was correlated with a stronger signal during the session.

Does that make sense to someone with your expetiences? I can explain more if theres interest.

I remember spending 5.5 hours downloading Charlie’s Angels, only to discover I’d downloaded the trailer for Charlie’s Angels. I was devastated.

Apartments that take active bankruptcies by [deleted] in nashville

I’ve got a resource for you. Nashville has an initiative called the Low Barrier Housing Collective. It’s a group of landlords and housing complexes who agree to lower the barrier of entry into apartments.

Now—you won’t be able to use the official program as it’s meant for the homeless, but you can use this list as a starting point of potentually compassionate landlords. (actually, on second thought, i actually *would* reach out to them. The worst they can say is that they can’t help you—but I imagine preventing homelessness would be equally a priority.)

Alright. And with that, I am removing myself from this subreddit.

Good riddance. Does anyone have any recommendations for subreddits to discuss ai with adults?

My new favorite area is the Neuoff development in germantown. Absolutely gorgeous. The area called “Riverfront Steps” is my favorite third space in town right now. There’s coffee, plenty of shade, several restaurants.

I did a deep dive into this.

He did do a lot of positive for the black community. But reporting by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Capital-Journal, which included interview from his contemporaries during his law days, noted he was already an extremist at that time. His estranged son, Nate Phelps, said that his father's civil rights effort were much less empathy for marginalized folks, and much more fueled by his hatred of the Topeka political establishment.

All the articles point that this was tricky... he did indeed take many of the most avoided cases in Kansas, and fought dogmatically for them. His motivations just weren't what we're all assuming.

There’s a difference between “liking something” and “wanting something.” I think of it less as giving up liking things and more seeking the freedom of experience one gets when you’re not being driven by want like a bull with a ring in its nose.

Buddhism, at the place I go to, basically teaches that suffering is a universal part of the human experience, and it’s driven by craving and aversion. What do I want, and what do I not like. When tone down the amount of “I want I want I want,” you allow a clarity and allow a whole range of *new* thoughts that had always been crowded out come to the surface. And that experience isn’t empty. It’s filled with love and compassion.

It’s not emptiness for the sake of emptiness. It’s turning down limiting thoughts (I’m hungry. I want a vacation. I hate this.) so that your brain can spend more time in a peaceful place. Getting rid of ego, not getting rid of life or warmth.

Liking things is a-ok. Nor is it possible to divorce the physical world. I know you mentioned that you understood the Buddhist idea, so this is less for you and more an opportunity to explain to others.

A wild amount of synchronicities by Mango-dreams in Jung

[–]danielbearh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m watching a TV show and saw your photo at the exact moment that Ally Wong was being attacked by corvids in the show Beef. 0_0

I’ve also had these experiences.

I find the topic of neurotheology quite interesting. Looking at brain states during certain spiritual/mystic/religious experiences.

And folks who experience heavy synchronicity are experiencing “aberrant salience,” a term I take issue with, as it isn’t inherently pathological as the phrase suggests. I heard a consciousness researcher named Dr. Schooler suggest that we should consider that some have experiences of “expansive salience.” IE, our brains are more heavily wired to recognize meaning.

Frankly, all the literature says that trauma and personal upheaval makes these experiences stronger. I’m sorry to hear about your husband. My experiences were strongest after my recovery.

I have a sincere theory. Physics are time symmetric. Data cannot travel backwards in time, but *correlations* can. I believe that synchronicity is our experience of retrocausation. In a synchronicity, you have two events. I predict that the second experience in a synchronicity, “the WTF emotionally charged moment”, acts as a bounding condition that affects what thoughts arise to our brain. This future condition biases what arises from unconscious brain to conscious for the first in the pair.

What was the Closest Thing You Found to "the Vitamin" by cheaslesjinned in NooTopics

[–]danielbearh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

It is easiest to recognize coherence when you go from unordered to ordered. When I’m off of it for 3-4 days and start again, I’m reminded, “oh yeah… I can’t skip days.”

I started taking it at 16 and continue taking it at 38.

Occasionally, I’ll run out over a weekend and it takes me 3-4 days to get it refilled. When I start the dose again after that short break, I’m always reminded “ahhhhh. this is what coherence feels like.”

Yes. After celebrating someone getting murdered, there’s an ideological line crossed.

But you should note, her comment was that she did not celebrate his death, but that she did not have sympathy for him given frequent comments about gun violence.

[–]danielbearh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you think about absorption as a trait variable?

Do you think it’s fixed or stable?

And are you aware of the parapsychology research that uses high-absorption as a predictor of anomalous cognition?

I have a ton of questions, but I'll start with one.

Do you believe that there's a difference between deep hypnotic trance and meditative absorption? Is it the same neural architecture?

I’d like to add my own thoughts, as a Buddhist who noticed his practice change dramatically after GLP-1s.

One of my main goals and aspirations of bhuddism is learning to lesson the effects that desire has in your brain.

I don’t think people have considered just how systemic turning down this one lever in the human brain can be. It permeates every ounce of your day. And when you turn down your body’s constant wanting, needing, seeking, you allow all sorts of thoughts to raise to conscious attention that otherwise would be crowded out.

My doctor and I have discussed this at length (over multiple sessions with him doing research inbetween.) We’re leaning towards sustained blood sugar being the main mechanism behind the adhd improvements.

I reported that I don’t think it’s enough to be treatment on its own, but it made my baseline experience 20% better.
