The other night I started asking ChatGPT to look for theories that unify the following:

- out of body experiences

- claimed telepathy

- ufo sightings

- hallucinogenic experiences LSD, DMT, psilocybin etc …

- the various mysteries of the universe like the Great Wall

- precognition

- religious beliefs and experiences

To my surprise it came up with many. Apparently people have been thinking about these things for a while.

All of them kind of center around the same concept of consciousness and perceived reality. A sort of existence inside another reality (perhaps your brain filtering out only for what you need).

These sorts of ideas are interesting and I like how llms allow you to keep plugging different data points to observe any possible relations between them.

When you realise your reality is far from real things get interesting

It’s all kind of mind boggling and overwhelming if you keep poking a level deeper. Just questions without answers and more questions.

Agreed. This is one thing psychedelics do to you. Open a new filter to reality that is already installed in your system and you didn't have access. Not promoting it in any way as it is a delicate balance between the benefits and risks, but boy it did open my mind. I guess spiritual and religious people get to open similar doors, with people who been to extreme circumstances. There are many lenses to observe what's real from a different angle and I don't think we get to see the whole picture ever.

I’m not particularly religious or spiritual but I cannot ignore that many others are and have or reported to have certain similar experiences that I cannot explain. There must be something to that. I think it’s incredibly naive to think we know what’s going on. If knowledge is indeed fractals, then we don’t know anything in the grand scheme of total knowledge.

If you want to go deep: Kabbalah. It can explain a lot of things.

If you want a nice synthesis with a modern approach of everything: Reality Transurfing.

Looked it up briefly and it sounds a bit too mystical. I don’t understand why humans must always humanize concepts they do not understand and shape them as some magical human event.

But yeah maybe I’ll prompt that a ton.

RT is a physicist trying to explain espiritual concepts, multiple dimensions, multiple realities and you can pick up the reality you want using some techniques. I see influence from western esoteric teachings here as well, Kabbalah tries to understand the qualities of God how he create things and how to use this knowledge and how it relates to our reality. It is the root of 90% of they mystical schools in the west.

In the end you need to put into worlds and try to understand what you discovered. Or you can assume nothing is true and everything is silence and you can meditate in this silence as well.

Reality Transurfing looks wild. I wonder if anyone got it working 😂

As long as AIs hallucinate when they don't really know an answer, I would be very cautious about believing anything outright.

I spot check to see if those theories are real

This is so trippy! It’s like all these experiences UFOs, psychedelics, precognition could be different lenses on the same hidden reality. Makes me wonder if we’re all just walking around in a simulation we can’t quite debug. What’s your take on where consciousness fits in?

The closest analogy I have so far in my mind that is probably very wrong and not very analogous is: we are bytes in random access memory. We stay in ram until we sleep and awake when we’re booted up. Depending on our some mathematical instructions we might be in one configuration or another. We probably see the reality we’re told to see. My guess is that even consciousness is part of something bigger (think ram as part of a system consisting of other parts).

But what’s outside that system?

thomas campbell has a fantastic perspective of the world as a simulation. not as a conspiratorial idea but as analogy.

Have you read about the MS quantum computer? The Majorana isn’t an actual particle, it’s a quasiparticle that only exists when other particles are present and in a specific configuration, then everything behaves as if it exists. But otherwise it doesn’t exist. To me somehow this is science converging/explaining or being one with those concepts. Check out the book Dancing Wu Li Masters. An example of this thinking from some decades back.
