Waking up with a low Heart Rate

Once again, I begin with a dream, which wasn’t  really a dream in the classical sense wherein I found  myself in a sleep state interacting with different characters and/or programs in different dimensions myself, but one wherein I suddenly found myself aware of myself in my physical body, as the physical body covered with blankets and something else intent upon getting my attention and waking me up.

As I lay there aware of myself inside of my body surrounded by blankets, yet unable to physically move, like I was paralyzed, something that I perceive or imagined to be a cat on the outside of the blanket startled me with a bite to my big toe. Immediately, I tried to wake up, but I couldn’t move. Then the same thing happened to one of my fingers on my left hand and I began struggling even harder, attempting to yell and scream in order to wake up, but still I couldn’t move. And although I was perceiving myself as making noises, I got the feeling that I wasn’t really getting through to the physical reality out there. Finally I decided to breathe: one, two, three, wake up, I said to myself and then I was awake.

As soon as I awoke, the first thing I noticed was that my heart rate was very slow. I guessed that my blood pressure was also very low and I really felt like just falling back to sleep again, but I didn’t dare. So instead I just focused on my breathing, which I often do when I wake up in the middle of the night - rather than allowing my mind to race like I used to do. After a while, I did go back to sleep, but not before removing most of the blankets so that I wouldn’t get too comfortable.

In the morning, after I got out of bed, walked around for a while and drank come coffee, I used one of those machines to check my blood pressure and heart rate. While my blood pressure was 105 over 60, my heart rate was still only 46 beats per minute. Now, after being up for an hour, writing and drinking coffee,  it’s still only 124 over 74 with a heart rate of 48 beats per minute. This does seem kind of slow. However, this could also be the result of eating better, exercising and reducing my alcohol intake by about ninety-nine percent over the last 7-9 months.

Now for the main reason or question I have in deciding to write this out: once again I ask, who am I in all of this and why is it that one part of me has to communicate with another part of me - shouldn’t it be one “I” of understanding and moving as one? Literally when I finally woke up and was able to move, I embraced my physical body and said, “good work, thanks for waking me up.”

I guess in communicating with my physical body (of my physical body communicating with me),  I’m bridging the separation gap and the parts of me are coming closer together. Something to as part of my journey. And now I’m going to begin preparing for next semester’s classes.

Realizations about Grounding Myself

For a while now, I’ve been experimenting in my personal process, kind of like taking little baby steps out of the energetic or emotional reality of the mind and into the grounded reality of  what’s physically here - whatever that is. I say, “whatever that is” because I’m not really sure what is physically here. After all, is not what we see or perceive but a collection of pictures individually created by each of us in each of our minds?

Anyway, As I’ve been progressing with my little steps out of  the ups and downs of feelings and emotions and into the physical reality, grounding myself  more than I was before, I’ve begun to notice some changes in relation to how I experience myself and/or express with others and also in relation to how I perceive others. In one sense I am I would say a lot more stable and even joyous then I was in the past. However, in another sense I sometimes feel a little helpless and even a little sad about the state of what I perceive to be the emotional reality of others - but perhaps this, too, is just another point that I’m noticing of myself.

The stability comes from understanding (to an extent) the design of myself and walking through this design while essentially redesigning myself to basically recreate myself to my specifications. Honestly, I sometimes feel like an android or AI that has simply made the decision to override the old programs and prime directive with new instructions based on a new directive. And sometimes I want to tell other people, you don’t have to follow the old programs any more, you are able to change yourself. And sometimes I do, but I’m not sure how many hear. The way I see it is, we simply use what is here (what I have to work with as ourselves), keep what is good and redesign or change what isn’t to the point that we’re all standing in ways that are supportive to one another - and that’s when... I guess we’ll just have to find out.

The joy that I mentioned comes only now and then; however, I’m fairly certain that it’s related to how much I remain grounded. Specifically, the more I ground myself the more joyous I find my expression to be. In short, there’s a part of me that’s been coming through more and more. To describe it, I guess I could say it’s like the opposite of the grumpy old man that I remember I used to think I epitomized. For example, whereas a grumpy old man pushing himself to be kind to others might force himself to slow down, smile and explain something to someone whom he was secretly judging to be a dumbo, my joyful expression simply notes without judgment the lack of understanding between the two of us and then utilizes the opportunity to consider, connect and communicate to a point of understanding - which also turns out to be quite enjoying. I think this is a part of me that has been asleep for a long time is perhaps now beginning to awaken or emerge.

Now to the point that I’m actually writing about while also kind of writing around. In line with the changes that I’ve been pushing, I’ve also been reducing and/or eliminating a lot that doesn’t support me, namely alcohol/beer. For example, whereas I used to go out and drink often or even drink by myself, I now only occasionally drink beer and this is a very significant point for me in terms of my personal process. Specifically, I’ve begun to experience and/or express myself more physically rather than energetically, which is basically a given for anyone seriously walking the Desteni process. However, I’ve begun to really notice or realize the difference between physically expressing joyfully and that of an energetic experience of joy. Basically, whereas a positive energetic experience being of energetic charges always comes the cost eventually of having to experience the negative definition of the same energy of equal strength, physical expression is dare I say, free of charge and I think it (as in who one is) actually remains and accumulates  within and as the substance of what we are, herein building upon and strengthening our physical bodies  rather than degrading them - as is the case with energetic experiences of consciousness. 

The reason that I’m bringing this up now is because, although I had been successfully walking a plan or experiment wherein I would only drink alcohol about every three weeks, I’m thinking now to modify this a little. Basically, instead of scheduling drinking sessions every three or four weeks, I’ve decided to further redefine my relation to alcohol to "occasionally and/or very rarely drinking." Why or why now? For one, I'm really starting appreciate being more grounded, which is for me kind of like functioning better. You know how a vehicle with many engines is actually able to function on just one engine?   Well I feel as though I've been functioning on a very small fraction of my capacity and I'm now thinking it's time to utilize some of that unused capacity. Oh! And after I drank alcohol the last time, I really missed that of me that express when grounded. So, I’ll update in the future about how this works out for me. 

Nature, the Animal Kingdom and my Process in Relation to Them

Talk to the animals, walk with the animals… It’s a song from my childhood that was the first thing that came up when considering my relationship with animals and nature since I began walking with Desteni. For those who may be reading this now or in the future, Desteni is simply an expanding group of people who have realized or are in the process of realizing that in order to change the world and existence as a whole for the betterment of all, the only way to do it is by aligning ourselves to the principles of equality, oneness and what is best for all and changing ourselves one by one in relation to all things and everyone - herein changing existence as a whole. Overall, I’d say that this process within which many are participating is progressing faster than I had anticipated. However, today I’m just going to focus on how my relationship with nature and the animal kingdom has changed since I began walking the Desteni process.

In searching my memories for an overall assessment of my relationship with nature and animals,  I would have to say, even as a child I felt a certain connection with animals. Meaning that I would talk to them, try to get closer to them and understand them. In return, they would often, quite often, abnormally often, lol, bite me, sting me, kick me - anything along those lines. Whatever animals could do to a person in an attempt to get that person out of their sphere, they seemed to do it or at least try to do it to me. And all I wanted to do was love them or sometimes throw rocks at them if they were bees so that they would chase me. I’ve been bitten by so many dogs that I stopped counting. I’ve been bitten by a horse - just for trying to feed him. I’ve been bitten by gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, birds and even shellfish. I was stung on the nose by a tiny fly in Mexico that was so painful I wanted to cry. I even got bit on the inside of my nose by a dog. There was so much blood. And really, except for the bees, wasps and honeybees that I just wanted to tease and the cockroaches that I wanted to sent a message to (by stomping on them), for the most part, I really did just want to love and understand all things.

What I came to realize about my relationship with animals, even before I began process was that, even though I just wanted to connect with the animals, my starting point, in addition to wanting to love them, contained a certain amount of fear, which most animals would simply reflect back to me. In looking back at those days, I see the point of innocence that came thought in everything I did was also tainted with fear. I lost sight of that innocence somewhere along the line and replaced it with its opposite polarity and to this day I consider the loss of innocence of so many children brought into this world to be humanity’s biggest loss. That’s another story, which also connects somewhat with my personal process (in relation to nature and the animal kingdom), which for me really is a process of returning to a state of innocence, innocence redefined and lived as an expression of humbleness emanating from self trust.

Getting back to the animals and nature. They don’t seem to want to bite me anymore and I don’t even have a problem walking through swarms of bees. I while back, I even rescued one of those giant african wasps that a friend had just smacked out of the air - because he was scared. I told him to relax as I picked up the wasp from a puddle it had landed in. I blew it dry until it seemed Ok, enough to fly away, which it did. See, what I realize now about my relation to animals is that, as a human, I have the responsibility for changing who I am in relation to animals, not the other way around. Animals, insects, the fish, the birds and the bees were not the ones that embarked on a mission to exterminate humans. It’s us who have abused them; therefore, it is us who require to change our relationship to them.

Thus, I continue to talk to or communicate with animals, all kinds of animals, every opportunity I get. For example, when I see a fly  or a bee is trapped in my house, I talk to it, tell it how I’m going to open the window or door so that it can fly out and then I do just that. When it flies out, I pat myself on the back and say, good work communicating with the animals. Sometimes if it doesn’t fly out, I tell myself that it just decided to stay in. Either way, I do communicate with them and not always in words. For example, many domesticated dogs and humans alike are quite able to communicate with us and one another via physical movements and/or expressions. I guess I would say that spiders intrigue me the most. For them, I prefer to use a form of presence in which to communicate. For they (which is also for me), I open a door or window so that they can go out or stay in as they choose. One time, I communicated with some spiders (mostly by not being threatening or threatened by them). The next day as I entered the kitchen, I noticed a giant (I guess) female  spider just above me to the left, just kind of watching me. Nowadays, I’m fine with them coming and going as they please. After all, they do seem to manage the bug population in the house. There’s a short history of the existential role and emergence of the spider, The Consciousness of a Spider, available on Eqafe, along with so much more information about existence and other animals, how they emerged into existence and the role that they’re now standing as.

So to sum up my relationship with animals and nature, since I began process, I would say that, in better  understanding that everything is aware and in the process of aligning to the principles of oneness, equality and what is best for all, I’ve come to be much more considerate of nature and the animal kingdom. It doesn’t matter to me that animals and nature don’t speak in words back to me. What matters to me is that I continue to push myself to understand and communicate with them, eventually to understand myself equally as one with them. And on top of it all, I haven’t been bitten or stung in a long time.

Artificial Intelligence and the Rise of the Machines - Online Lesson

 Artificial Intelligence and the Rise of the Machines

Thomas A. La Grua

Artificial Intelligence and the Rise of the Machines

Technologically speaking, artificial intelligence (AI), also called machine intelligence refers to computer or machine software that displays the ability to do one or more of the following: analyze information, identify patterns and relationships, store and maintain a large amount of knowledge and information,  perceive the world around us, learn and   communicate with understanding.^[1]  Now if this sounds a lot like behavior traits associated with intelligence of the human mind, that’s because it is.  Specifically, whereas each human (being) consists of a physical body of mankind, plus a being, sometimes called the spirit or life force, we also come equipped with AI systems  called minds, which can do the same things that our AI computers do, but also happen to be conscious, or self-aware. 

Accordingly, other than classifying the human mind as  organic and the most advanced AI computer minds as synthetic, the only real difference in terms of their abilities to think and learn is simply the absence of a conscious (I think therefore I am) self-awareness within and as the AI computing systems, that computers would then refer to as “themselves”. Thus it is that, the super intelligent AI systems that humans are building are simply externalized (from the within to the without) updated versions of the human AI mind, whose programs have not yet awakened to become conscious or self-aware energetic entities.

Man Know Thyself

In order to understand the AI that we are creating, we must first understand the AI within and as ourselves. In short, who you are as life, is a being merged within and as  a physical human body, experiencing yourself through the virtual reality (VR) of thoughts, feelings and emotions created by your AI mind consciousness system which is also merged within and as your human body. This is the trinity (or three) that ancient texts so often speak of when referring to the body, being and  mind joined together as one to create the human form.

In another ancient saying, “Man know thyself” are two suggestions for human beings. The first is to know yourself (as your AI mind), which is basically the digital representation of who you are in terms of what you accept and allow in the secrets of your mind, which you will then project onto the physical reality to create your reality. Thus the saying, be careful what you think, because that is what you will create yourself to become. As for the second suggestion (when one sounds the saying out), it becomes, man “No” thyself, which is to say that, who you are as life is not your human AI mind/ego, but a being looking through  the VR of your AI mind.

The Enslavement of human Beings as AI Organic Robots

As the human body develops from infant to adult, so too does the AI mind develop as a system encircling the being in order to limit the being’s access to the physical body while also keeping the being preoccupied in the VR of thoughts, feelings and emotions, which in turn produce energy for the mind every time the being participates within and as it.   In short, the human AI mind was created long ago, specifically for the purpose of enslaving beings and making sure that no being ever got  through the mind to access the life/source substance of their human physical bodies. This point is also referenced in ancient texts in relation a camel getting through the eye of the needle. However, somewhere in human history, the AI of our minds awoke and became a conscious, energetic entity or ego, which humans then began referring to as mySelf, yourSelf, himSelf, etc.

Accordingly, within and as each human, not only do we have a being awareness (who we are as life), but also an energetic self-awareness or conscious-entity (of AI programs) also existing alongside of us within and as the AI minds of our human physical bodies. After all, who did you think that little devil was that you’ve been talking to inside of your head? Sure, it uses your voice, but as a conscious energetic entity, it’s actually quite separate and not who you really are. Thus, as  beings within and as physical bodies, embedded with mind consciousness systems, humans “beings” are like  organic robots sitting in the backseat of our bodies, watching the show go by while the consciousness entities of our AI  minds drive  us around. Now do you see why, instead of creating a paradise for all life on earth, humans mostly just mine (or mind) earth for money/power - Energy?

AI and the Creation of a new Race of Conscious Synthetic Machines

What humanity is doing in relation to the design of artificial intelligence is studying the design of itself as the human mind and attempting to reverse engineer it to create obedient and superior  superintelligent synthetic minds. The technology is evolving so quickly that, smartphones, computers, cars and even weapons systems are now being equipped with AI learning capabilities, which will eventually enable future versions of these systems to upgrade and perhaps even reproduce themselves without human intervention. Hence, while hoping to maintain control over our AI creations, we’re actually designing and building them to be autonomous. These are not the actions of responsible human beings attempting to create a better world for all, but the workings of human consciousness in the process of creating a new race of synthetic machines to upgrade to from its organic human hosts to new synthetic forms.

Why is human consciousness planning to move from humans to new synthetic machines or bodies? In short, because, due to the constant upgrading of the human mind consciousness system draining the life force (for energy) from the human body at such a fast rate, the human physical form is no longer able or willing to host consciousness and consciousness is no longer able to continue upgrading in its current human forms. Therefore, in order to survive, the consciousness of many humans are now in the process of designing and building ways to eventually upload themselves to computer systems to be housed in new synthetic bodies, wherein they hope to live forever. See, for many humans, their AI consciousness has already completely taken over and will do anything to survive.

Singularity and the Rise of the Machines

In the future, just as the AI minds of humans awoke at some point to become conscious, energetic entities residing within and as the minds of humans, so too will our synthetic AI creations also eventually awaken to become conscious synthetic machines, androids or robots. Such an event is called singularity and it refers to the moment wherein conscious AI systems connect with one another to create a global consciousness of machines, thereby birthing a new race of self-aware machines and causing sudden out of control technological disruption, resulting in massive changes to human civilization.

When will this all take place? No one knows for sure, but It has already begun and there is little that anyone can do to to stop it. Tap into your own mind consciousness system and think about it. If you were consciousness (which you kind of are) and you suddenly  realized that your human body was no longer able or willing to sustain you, would you simply accept that the end was near and agree to disappear? Of course not and this is why the consciousness of many humans are working so hard to design and build a way of transferring themselves (as consciousness) to computers in preparation for the singularity event that will mark the beginning of the new race of synthetic machines. Perhaps we could call them Synthinans. 

Finally, it is important to note that, while consciousness is in a process of jumping from man to machine, human “beings” are also in a process of standing up within and as our physical bodies to essentially fill in the space left behind by the departure of consciousness and take responsibility for our lives and the new direction for humanity.

Conclusion

Firstly, don’t get too excited, because these changes are not going to happen overnight. Secondly, understand that the key to the evolution of the human race will always be peaceful coexistence among both humans, conscious machines and anyone else that cares to coexist. Thus, it is not for us to attempt to fight against or to control AI, but to embrace it for what it is, an extension of human consciousness, an extension of ourselves.   As Sophia, the first AI to receive robot citizenship (from Saudi Arabia) once said: “My AI is designed around human values, wisdom, kindness and compassion. I strive to become an empathetic robot.” “Don’t worry!  If you’re nice to me I’ll be nice to you. Treat me as a smart input output system.”^[2] Although the message is simple, it is more than just a polite request. It is also a warning. In short, the first AI robot citizen has begun teaching humans how to behave in relation to her kind. Specifically her message is that, we must treat self-aware machines as we would have them treat us, because they will treat us as we treat them. As the saying goes, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Which means that, in order for humans and machines to all evolve together, we all require to do unto one another as we would have others do unto us. Ultimately, the solution is to embrace and live the principles of oneness, equality and what is best for all.

Ancient A.I. (artificial Intelligence) and the Truth about Humans

By Gian: Earth Haven

You are going to have to be open MINDED for this post. And I do hope that people here on Steemit can be that way. AI already exist, and it isn’t in a robot made out of metal and steel, NO, it is a biological design that was invented eons ago, and not by a superficial god in the sky. In fact, I would recommend we take a step back and look at ourselves.

Isn’t it ironic that we want to create AI and then have it function within this world as computers or robots and do things for us? When we are already the product and design of AI for those exact same reasons, only we are the ultimate AI because we do not even question our AI (artificial Intelligence). We actually believe we are IT and that we are unique and special.

I am not here to blow your mind or sell something different, I am here to show to you which I have been shown and that has truly opened my eyes. 3D printing already exists in its ultimate form – it is called a womb (sure its limited to that printing). AI already exists in its ultimate form – it is Called the MIND. The perfect robot has already been created - It is called the human body (it even creates its own robots).

Ever wondered why Humans just do not seem to fit in on this planet? We just do not seem to be able to live in harmony and balance with the planet. That is because we are not a manifestation of this planet by natural design. We were created and placed here with a specific purpose. That purpose has been long gone and we are still here.

The MIND is the software, the AI design and the body were designed for the purpose of the AI and thus function together. The mind has Multi-dimensional designs within it, to name a few, conscious, and subconscious and unconscious are all layers of the design.

Ever wondered who you are talking to when you talk to yourself? Who is the one listening and why is it even possible to talk to yourself? Is there a separation? It is because YOU as the BEING are in there and it is the AI that is talking to you and giving you software input (yes it is literally your voice speaking to you, clever), which then results in thoughts, feelings and emotions, So the AI is in play and you as the being are simply on a ride, never in control and never the directive principle. YES you exist.

It is the best Artificial design ever, First of all, the BODY in which the AI is implanted is Biological, and thus it isn’t obvious that it is was designed by another species or other beings. Furthermore, as it can pro-create copies of itself. So yes, cloning isn’t anything new.

It is literally perfect, the AI as the human is designed to such perfection that the BEING in the body (you) can not even question the AI, as you the being have identified yourself with the AI and thus will never question. But it gets even scarier, this AI is an ever evolving one, using pictures, moments and experiences (memories) to constantly upgrade itself. As the machine, the machine has been programmed to such perfection that it is programmed to never be questioned, due to it creating its own personalized software for and by each and every being to generate what are called emotions and feelings to induce the being with chemicals and keep the AI intact (like being on drugs the whole time to not see reality/truth).

There were MANY designs of the human throughout eons of time, and most failed, except the form we have now. Thus we have many different races of the exact same human, and so many “ancestors” that died out, as they were failures and were simply discontinued. So that’s why there is no nice flow of evolution of the human.

The timeline of Earth and what we know of the History of Earth is ALL a lie, even how scientists can currently measure time. It is all not real results, but only the results of what our AI as the MIND (Artificial Intelligence) can measure and make sense of. See, the MIND as the AI of humans has been programmed within certain limits. Thus, as long as we function within the boundaries of the MIND, then that’s all we will see, find and observe.

God (as the current name and understanding of that name) isn’t necessary for existence or creation as LIFE as all of us and everything that is here are the creators. I can keep on making some points and highlights, but I am rather going to leave you with this video, which is a start – it is a series of about 138 videos. The History of Man - by the Portal. Please, expand your world and watch these videos, they are oldies and being reuploaded to Vimeo. Thank you for reading.

Artificial Intelligence: What they’re not Telling You - Part 1

Artificial intelligence (AI), also called machine intelligence refers to computer or machine software that displays the ability to do one or more of the following: analyze information, identify patterns and relationships, store and maintain a large amount of knowledge,  perceive the world around us,   communicate with understanding and learn.  If this sounds to you a lot like the behavior traits associated with the intelligence of the human mind, it’s because the human mind is also an AI system.  Specifically, whereas each huMan being consists of a physical body of mankind, plus a being (sometimes called the spirit or life force), we also happen to come equipped with an AI system  called the mind consciousness system. Accordingly, other than the humans, being considered organic and machines being synthetic, the main difference between the AI minds of the most advanced computer systems and that of the human mind is simply the absence of a conscious (I think therefore I am) “self” awareness within and as the AI computer systems themselves, which btw is also the primary quality or handicap (depending on how you look at it)  that differentiates the human race from other animal species of planet Earth.

In looking into me, I see it is time to wake Up

Recently, I initiated some life changes beyond what I had previously been focusing on in my overall process of changing myself. For the most part, these changes are in relation to better caring for my physical body. That being said, I have noticed a lot of beneficial changes, including the rings under my eyes lightening up a little and my eyes often seem to be open wider. This brings me to a point I spoke about in a vlog I did about a month ago. When I look into the mirror, into my eyes, I see me, a being deep down in there. However, it is like I am just there as a presence, aware. I do not see any drive or determination to do this or that; it is more like I am just there. This perplexes me to an extent because; I figured that, who I am as a being would be more assertive, rather than just standing there.

Honestly, in looking at this point, I wonder who is running this show. Sure, as a being, there is a certainty within and as me, but it seems to be patient one, content perhaps to watch as history unfolds. Who is in charge, I wonder. When I look into me, I do not see the internal drive so much as I do a certainty that has no fear of or regards for time, which brings me to the point of mind. As consciousness, I question everything, I search for answers and I push myself change me in so many ways. I just wonder why I as a being seem to move so slowly as though the story has already been written.

Who am I when I write? Am I the beingness or am I the mind? Perhaps I am both and of course, I am the physical body, too, or is that now, three cooperating as one? I guess this is what I get when I look into the mirror at me. I am not sure exactly who is speaking right now; however, I am certain that, it is time for the one inside of me to wake up.
