Sounds good! Thank you. I see that you are a developer, interested on where you stand with CTV and polyd's idea for the enigma network as well? Have you had a chance to check that out?

Sure but I'm getting ready to go see my family so it might have to be another time.

Well then, how can the phone be other than the expression of that which creates the universe and glues it together?

Well it's clear that you fundamentally misunderstood the concept of emptiness of inherent existence as the form a thing is currently taking.

Yes there are parts of the Bible that I find wisdom in but much of the real wisdom was excluded by the council of nicea when the Romans were deciding what to keep and what to get rid of.

Bieber one of the first times that it was revealed to me I had gotten in trouble for asking questions they couldn't answer at Sunday school. I had to copy the book of revelations and while I was writing it I was at the party where they were talking about all the 7's. Everything disappeared even my body, there was only light. Subject and object dissolved into pure witnessing. To me many years to find out what happened. So I find merit in the Bible. I like genesis too but ultimately I find the wisdom in the kjv lacking.

So Jesus is the phone in my hand that I write this on eh? The thought that I think, the couch that I sit on. All of this matter and energy that comprises the universe. Yet if I call him yeshua is that wrong? What if you say Jesus in another language is that wrong as well?

What I'm saying is that the word and idea that you have about reality is not reality itself. I can call a dog a cup but you could clearly see that it doesn't matter what you call it, it barks.

Sir I grew up catholic but study dzogchen and zen you are Christian I think? There's nothing wrong in either all ways point back to the source which is reality.

Can you allow people to be as they are?

Sir the word emptiness just points to empty of inherent existence as the form it takes. All words appear as the expression of source, whatever you like to call it. Some people call it Brahman, some Allah, some God, and some Jesus. The word/ idea about it is not the thing in itself.

Of course, glad you appreciate what I have to share!

Another way to understand the idea "emptiness" is that of anything that comes and goes doesn't have inherent existence as the forms it takes. For example when I eat food that the nutrients in the food become part of my body. Previously they were part of a plant or animal, and before that they were somewhere else. The same goes for all life systems which are in constant state of change from one form to the next.

Concept of emptiness*

Ultimately what I would point towards understanding is that the idea one has about Jesus is not Jesus himself. It is just your conceptualization about him.

You may call it whatever you like but your words can only ever be the expressing or appearance of undivided light which gives birth to both ideas of darkness and simulated light.

The convenience of emptiness is often misunderstood. It just points to the fact that all life systems are interdependently originated and aspects of the total. So while things have provisional existence ultimately what you think of as god or Jesus is what is actual reality underlying the coming and going of things.

Hope that makes sense.

Yes this is very good! One of the people I consider my teacher said this.

There is only one true enlightenment, and that is spiritual enlightenment. Anything else is embodied in the relative.

Spirituality necessitates not being in conflict with Spirit.

Spirit refers to the flow of all things (whether seen or not seen) ... from the Latin spiritus, the Indo-European root meaning "to breathe," the in-breath/Yang and out-breath/Yin of duality.

Terence McKenna mentioned, "The tension in the world is the tension between the Ego and the Feminine, not between the masculine and the feminine." Why? Because more than 99% of humanity believe that Feminine Energy arises from a gender of Form. Without understanding Feminine Energy, Spirituality is futile.

The truth is, that the Feminine of Duality is not a gender of Form, but the Wave of a Particle. Certainly, each gender of Form has a novel way of expressing or suppressing their Wave. Knowing this, great relationships don't take work. Comprehension trumps confidence.

Full spectrum awareness is an integrated yang-yin experience ... sphere and torus ... particle and wave ... not equality, but a rhythmic balanced interchange that pivots from beyond belief.

Spirit arises nearly instantaneous with the dream of duality, and is the energy dedicated to show the way back to Source ... which Spirit itself can never realize, because Spirit is not part of Source, but the dream of separation from Source.

Source does not 'breathe.' Source is neither the One Lever upon which duality effects its motion, nor duality. Source is as a Still Fulcrum.

All energy is in the past, as expressed by E=mc². At the so-called speed of light, the conditions of energy, mass, time, and space cease to exist. Einstein theorized that as we approach the so-called speed of light, time slows to zero, and space shrinks to nothing. There is no “now” in the electrodynamic dance of emptiness and form.

All Form and the Emptiness of Form are in the past. Duality, both emptiness and form, is slower than the presence of undivided light. Such a statement may baffle those rooted in object-ive, empirical logic; however, the principle is quite simple. The fact that matter is slowed-down divided light is actually widely known. When the conceptual speed of light is reached, space, time, matter, and energy (and thus the Breath of Spirit) cease. The nature of duality’s reality is that divided, projected light moves 186,281 miles per second slower than the stillness of Undivided Light. No matter what speed we perceive ourselves to be moving, the stillness of light appears to move by us 186,282 miles per second faster. From Undivided Light’s point of view, space, time, and energy are in the past, and the condition of that past can never enter the unconditionality of Undivided Light’s present.

"There is no Present in time" - V Panetta

From Undivided Light's point of view, it travels no distance in no time, and thus it has no need for speed. In fact, Undivided, Clear Light has not traveled a millimeter in all eternity.

Divided light on the other hand, is contained in what Buddha called the Six Realms of Cyclic Illusory Experience. That container is a box/cube known as 142857. Remember the film 'The Matrix?' The Architect is the One Lever that maintains the Six Realms of Samsara from the God Realm. Spirit is the Oracle, who permeates all Six Realms, and whose sole purpose is to expose and show how to get out of the Matrix. But again ... Spirit does not get out ... because Spirit is part of the System. The movement of Breath, that which comes and goes, can never enter Stillness.

Unfortunately (for the whole of Samsara), Spirit is mostly accessible in the third level of consciousness. Buddhists say that a human birth, which is the 3rd of the six realms, is the easiest realm in which to achieve liberation, and is therefore the most auspicious birth. Both Buddha and the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara suggested that liberation from Samsara is possible only in the human realm. They found that the Human Realm is the most suitable realm for practicing the dharma, because humans are not completely distracted by samsaric pleasure, like the God (6th) and Deva (5th) Realms.

Those seriously interested in flowing with Spirit without hesitation, thus un-obscuring the Gateway to Higher Human Potential and Awakening from the Dream ... must grasp Who's Who in Duality ... Yang and Yin ... Particle and Wave ... Form and the Empty of Form.

ONLY when emptiness is understood, can there be real compassion.

To the chagrin of Ego ... there is no Liberation without real compassion ... and no real compassion without grasping the Empty of Form. In other words, 99.99% of humanity is in deep sleep ignorance. Which is OK. But humanity as a whole need to realize that they are clueless ... they don't know ... and should cease advocating for things as if they did.

Reading the Bon flowering light tantra, this gem stuck out.

"The Heart is the place of the mind, it is the Great Waterhouse, the great watershed of the human consciousness.All life moves through it and comes back to it; all thoughts arise from out of it and return back to it. What is this Heart? The heart is the nature of ourselves, made from time yet beyond time, creating space yet not of space. Creating patterns and forms that give rise to the material world. Through our attachment we create the heart also. 

All the world is real, our reactions to it are not, our responses to it are not."



Another thing to think about is how ai will make it easier and cheaper for content creators to create movies and shows. Lowering cost of production.

Then you could also choose to put ads on for one price and no ads for another. I do think in the end streaming might make just as much or more from not being on walled garden platforms. Well be interesting to see how it plays out.

What would incentivize cheaper streaming per view? Perhaps you get more volume of viewers because it costs less for each person to view?

Any guesses on how long until nostr takes over streaming? Imagine micropayments for the stuff you actually want to watch instead of a bunch of 10 dollar subscriptions to platforms.

Longchenpa makes an astonishing commentary on a portion from the Dzogchen Semde root tantra, the Kunje Gyalpo. I have included both Longchenpa's commentary and the relevant text from the Kunje Gyalpo. Quotes are from Longchenpa's The Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomena, published by Padma Publishing. My comments are beneath the KJG quotes below.

"Spontaneously present meditative stability, settled in its own place, is understood to be ongoing, like the flow of a river, without having to be deliberately cultivated. Within that context, everything arises as the true nature of phenomena, and so there is no error or obscuration, no dullness or agitation, no distraction or even the lack of it, **because any object of distraction arises as the display of that nature."**

From the Kunje Gyalpo:

To ignore what is inherent and seek afar for something else,

eagerly trying to arouse the bliss that requires no effort... there is no greater debility than this.

Undistracted meditative absorption is a stake that tethers one to reification.

With respect to what is and always has been , there is no distraction, nothing to be lost.

Undistracted meditative absorption seduces one with hope.

Such are the Mahayana approaches based on either causes or results,

which reveal what is provisional....

With respect to what is and always has been, there is no distraction, no loss.

The state in which nothing need be done transcends all effort and achievement."

Jackson: Notice above where Longchenpa says "any object of distraction arises as the display of that nature." In other words, whatever you are distracted by is itself the display of Rigpa and so you are actually still noticing Rigpa's display.

As an example, when you are simply present to the here and now observing the sky, while observing the sky, a strong distracting thought or image enters your mind. Suddenly you are no longer in the here and now noticing the sky, but rather you are observing this thought. This is in traditional Mahayana vehicles of meditation considered to be distraction and is taught to be avoided and corrected. One is taught to stay in here and now awareness. But Longchenpa is saying those distracting thoughts are themselves just as valid as the sky as 'objects of experience'. Those thoughts are also occurring in the here and now, so when you are observing thoughts or images you are also fully in here and now presence. Both the sky and thoughts are equally Rigpa's pure display.

So in this way it is understood that distraction is impossible. If this extremely subtle and vital point is understood, all effort at trying to maintain an undistracted state drops away. All experiences of every kind are equally the display of Rigpa. Then one may ask: Well, ok ... then what exactly do I do when practicing Dzogchen? Great question! But it must remain unanswered, or else the answer will be turned into a new something to do. In Dzogchen the notion that there is something to do or practice is considered an illness. You are already Rigpa Awareness, what would be the point of doing something in order to become what you already are? great perfection is very simple. Explained here.
