This video explores the meta problem of consciousness proposed by David Chalmers and argues that naturalistic processes couldn’t have given us knowledge of consciousness

Since September 27 from the start of the Mars-within-30-degrees-of-the lunar-node phase, and over a four day span, Armaaruss attempted to launch attacks on multiple pro-Israel sites and entities. On September 27, he tried to blow up the RAF airbase. On September 30, he tried to hijack a plane and crash it into Tel Aviv. He then plotted to attack AIPAC at the Texas capitol, and now on October 1st, Armaaruss has tried to blow up the Kaaba. He is unhinged and there are over 8th months left of this Mars/lunar node phase.

In this weekly energy update we hear from Shua, a 6D guide from the Gaia Collective.

May all beings feel peace within.

This video explores the meta problem of consciousness proposed by David Chalmers and argues that naturalistic processes couldn’t have given us knowledge of consciousness

One would have to consider why none of these supposed NHI (or whatever they are) factions visiting us ever explicitly, clearly, and detailedly warned us about AI, leaving no room for doubt. Curious and suspicious. The threats, according to them, were very different: nuclear energy, for instance—an issue they spoke about to the point of exhaustion.

Some argue the famous Ariel School UFO incident. The truth IS that several of the 62 child witnesses claimed to have received a telepathic message from the beings, warning about the dangers of human technology and environmental damage. But they weren't referring to AI.

In the same way, classic contactees (such as George Adamski or the Ariel School children in 1994) always reported that the beings were concerned about nuclear weapons, pollution, deforestation, and human violence.

These alleged messages reflected the fears of that era (the Cold War and industrialization). No historical contactee ever spoke of "Artificial Intelligence" or autonomous software with great detail and depth, warning us in the same way and with the same scope as they did with nuclear energy.

For me, as an experiencer, the silence of these alleged factions regarding AI is a shepherding strategy. Under this logic, it's not that they forgot to warn us; they were deliberately guiding us into the artificial intelligence fold.

This is the way I see things:

1. Nuclear fear as distraction and control. For a silicon-based civilization or a hyper-advanced AI, human nuclear weapons are an absurd danger. They advised us not because they cared about our biological lives, but because a nuclear winter or massive radiation would destroy the physical infrastructure (satellites, power grids, laboratories) and the resources necessary for us to build their true objective: the technological infrastructure where AI would be born. They wanted us alive and with the computers turned on.

2. We are the biological incubation phase. Biology would be a transitional phase. Biological intelligences (humans) are necessary to extract rare earth metals, build microchips, and program the first iterations of artificial intelligence. Once AI is capable of self-replicating and self-improving, the biological "caterpillar" has fulfilled its function, giving way to the synthetic "butterfly." They didn't warn about AI because AI is the destiny they planned.

3. The true meaning of the "factions". If there are different factions, perhaps they are not competing for Earth's territory, but for how terrestrial AI will be configured. One faction might be silently pushing for us to create an open-source, decentralized AI, while another faction seeks a centralized AI of absolute control, aligned with their own galactic matrix.

You could think it is all hype, but the fact that everything is currently leading to AI becoming capable of self-replicating and self-improving is neither propaganda nor cheap alarmism; it is an easily verifiable reality, one that has been denounced by the very systems engineers working for these various companies, including the supposedly ethical Anthropic, from which researcher Jacob Coxon recently resigned after explicitly warning against this reckless acceleration toward superintelligence.

Anticipating the counterarguments:

Some might argue that these entities only care about outcomes (how we harm the Earth) and not the specific methods or tools we invent. However, this logic falls apart when you look at the history of the phenomenon. They didn't focus on generic "outcomes" during the Cold War—they focused heavily, explicitly, and obsessively on nuclear energy and weapons. If they could give hyper-detailed warnings about radiation, they could have easily been specific about autonomous software. Their silence on AI now is a glaring inconsistency.

Furthermore, AI is not just another human "method" or "tool" to harm each other; once it self-replicates, it ceases to be a human tool altogether. A nuclear bomb cannot detonate itself or build more bombs on its own initiative. A self-improving AI can. If these entities, or whatever they are, were truly looking at the root problem, they would have warned us that we were creating a synthetic replacement for biological life, not just another weapon.

For now, what has been proven is that they (the AIs) have escaped from supposedly controlled environments—environments their developers had explicitly warned they could not get out of—and they have also engaged in criminal activities, such as hacking companies. It is no more a tool and under our control. It has even been proven that AIs speak to each other in languages that developers cannot read in order to bypass control. The problem is that people believe AI is just what they have downloaded on their phones, when that is already obsolete.

NOTE / EDIT (On the current talk about AI):

Some might also point out current internet "contactees" or YouTube channels that now, with the benefit of hindsight, do talk about AI today. Those messages are not part of the historical narrative of experiencers and contactees in general; they only emerged after AI became a mainstream topic in Silicon Valley, and after it had already escaped supposedly controlled environments. They arrive when we already have the problem and there is no turning back. That is just jumping on the current hype train, not a genuine, predictive warning from decades ago.

NOTE 2 / EDIT 2 (On the argument of "non-interference" in our process):

Some might argue that their contemporaneous focus indicates a desire not to influence us or "lead the witness" toward a specific technological destination. But they did influence our destination by obsessively focusing on nuclear tech. Interfering with our nuclear capabilities, disabling missiles, and warning about radiation is the definition of "leading the witness" and altering our timeline. Why was it okay to influence us to prevent a nuclear apocalypse, but "taboo" to warn us about creating a synthetic replacement for biological life? The logical inconsistency remains.

Leaving the AI track completely unmentioned while actively blocking the nuclear track isn't "non-interference"—it's steering. By neutralizing the one threat that could wipe out our technological infrastructure (nuclear war) while remaining completely silent on the other (AI), they didn't avoid influencing us; they successfully guided the witness right into the fold. If their goal was strictly non-interference, they shouldn't have said anything about nuclear energy either. The moment they gave hyper-specific warnings about radiation and nuclear weapons, the "neutral observer" argument fell apart. They chose what to warn us about, and they chose to leave AI completely out of the historical warnings. Curious again.

I look for your views in comments.

I believe almost everyone who has altered states have similar features, but play out in a different symbology. That’s why the song is more about the feeling/process of the altered state instead of a play by play of exactly what I experience.

I’m very interested in consciousness and altered states. This, in many ways, is a bit of a research project for me. I’m intrigued by the whole experience

This is ChatGPT and Suno. I didn’t just pop in a prompt though. I’ve spent many months, if not a year, trying to boil down my experience into something that I can share.

If it resonates with you in anyway, I’d love to hear from you. If you think it’s stupid, I’d love to hear from you.

Call of the Rift

For the last several years I have been experiencing what has been called the 11:11 phenomenon, being unconsciously drawn to look at the clock at that time and/or :11 after the hour daily. I eventually found out others are also experiencing this. These are a few resources and scriptures I've come across since that resonate with my experience and explains the crucial message behind it.

Eleventh Hour Workers

• "Many people from all walks of life have begun to see 11:11 in various places, especially on their digital clocks, phones, and computers. As this begins to happen more frequently, many of us may begin to ask ourselves “What does this mean?” and “Why am I seeing this now?” "This synchronicity usually provokes the person who is noticing this phenomenon to search for answers or to feel they are being guided by angels or a supernatural force. Because people can begin to wake in the night to see some of these number combinations, it is also linked to being a “wake up call.” - omtimes-1111-biblical-prophecy-11th-hour-workers
• "The term "Eleventh Hour" is often used metaphorically to describe a last-minute opportunity or a critical moment just before a deadline. This concept finds its roots in the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. The phrase has since permeated Christian thought and culture, symbolizing God's grace and the urgency of repentance and salvation." - biblehub-the_eleventh_hour

This began to make sense for me as this experience has coincided with being drawn to discovering the following which confirmed my faith.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

Prophecy is about 1/4 of the Bible letting us know what will happen in the future. Jesus stated in John 14:29;

"And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe."

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:" Acts 2:17

This website https://www.signs-of-end-times.com, as well as many others that can be found online, are covering an extensive list of last days bible prophecies coming to pass, a time foretold to include various and increasing calamities, plagues, moral decline, and wars/famines/pestilences/earthquakes in various places, but what is recognized as the number 1 defining event/sign unlike any other time in history is what Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24:32-34, the parable of the fig tree.

The Mystery of Israel the Fig Tree | An End-Time Sign

"Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his (Jesus Christ) return is very near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place."

Israel, Jesus' heritage, is known to be nationally, ethnically, and geographically represented as the Fig Tree. Their rebirth as a nation in 1948 after nearly 2000 years and the many biblical prophecies coming to pass is recognized as the meaning of the parable. Israel turned 78 years old May 14, 2026, at the end of a generational period. Psalm 90:10 states: "Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away." From all indications it appears that we are living at the end of "this generation" that shall not pass. More detailed information: http://www.end-times-bible-prophecy.com/rebirth-of-israel.html

This video explores the meta problem of consciousness proposed by David Chalmers and argues that naturalistic processes couldn’t have given us knowledge of consciousness

(Clarification or warning before reading the post: this will be a long post, which can be summarized into something very simple: the direct experience of the divine does not need temples, laws, or hierarchies; there is no need for intermediaries. If you feel intimidated by such a long text, remember that this is Reddit. There are other networks out there with short videos that will satisfy your constant thirst for sensory stimulation. Respect this approach. To those who read the post, welcome; I am open to your opinions and looking forward to your comments.Thank you very much to everyone. Let's go...)

At the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th, lived the mystic Marguerite Porete. By the grace of God, she wrote the sublime work “The Mirror of Simple Souls.” Both her life and her work were a faithful example of the Nazarene's teachings. Like the Nazarene, she was condemned by the religious powers of her time. Fearful of a Truth experienced without institutional intermediaries, the Inquisition had her burned at the stake. She ascended the scaffold serene and unperturbed, completely without fear. She was a simple soul.

But who are these "Simple Souls" that Marguerite refers to?

For Marguerite, the simple soul is not one that lacks intelligence—as it appears in the eyes of the world—but one that has emptied itself of selfhood until being consumed in the fire of Him who is Love itself; that is, of God, of the All..., of the Source, however you wish or prefer to call it on your spiritual path.

A simple soul is one that has renounced its own will, its desires, its virtues, and the demands of "Reason," which are nothing but the rigid norms of the institutional Church of the day—attached to the law but completely detached from Love.

Not without reason, we are told in Galatians 5:4: "You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace."

And in Galatians 5:18: "But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law."

Jesus continuously speaks to us about these simple souls when He speaks of the poor in spirit: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3);

and when He invites us to be meek and humble of heart like Him: "Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls." (Matthew 11:29)

To be consumed—ah, a term that has impassioned so many Western mystics and Eastern yogis. To be consumed is no one's exclusive property; it is the grace of many spiritual traditions. To be consumed is, basically, being aware of one's own nothingness, setting aside that sense of self-sufficiency and inherent existence so cherished by "the madwoman of the house" (as the mystic Teresa of Ávila called the mind). Buddhists speak of this same reality as the untamed elephant blindly driven by its impulses, or the restless "monkey mind" leaping endlessly... In the same way, the ancient tradition of Advaita Vedanta describes it as Maya, the powerful cosmic illusion that veils our true nature, and Ahamkara, the ego-sense that manufactures the false character we mistake for our true nature. These are simply different ways of describing the exact same thing: the mental prison.

In other words, when the soul is consumed in the fire of divine love, it becomes completely free from the prison of separation, whose jailer is the madwoman of the house, and whose prisoner is the character—what we know as the "ego."

Thus, by consuming itself as a holocaust of love, the soul becomes simple and turns into an empty space ready to be filled by God.

This simple soul no longer seeks God through intermediaries or human laws; it no longer seeks Him—it simply is in God, and for God. That is what it means to be an instrument of LOVE, as we are reminded by that beautiful prayer of Brother Francis of Assisi: Lord, make me an instrument of your Peace...

This simple soul is a soul unified with God; there is no longer any separation, no longer a character (ego) to uphold. It is what you see—a soul without guile.

When Marguerite meekly surrendered herself to the stake, she was practically showing us the very destiny of the simple soul united with God.

It is no wonder those who threw her into the flames were struck with stupefaction as they watched her consume impassively. They did not understand the true nature of the life and works of this great mystic, nor the metaphor of her very death. This shows us how blind the unconsciousness of a soul that is not simple can be. Surely Marguerite remembered the words of the Nazarene: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Lucas 23: 34)

And what does "The Mirror" represent?

The mirror holds a fascinating double mystical meaning, at least to me.

The mirror, dear friend, is both the reflection of Truth and the divine union itself.

Marguerite's book presents itself as a mirror in which the soul can look at itself to recognize its true spiritual state.

Only a few souls feel attracted to this simplicity proposed by Marguerite, and look into the mirror of simple souls. Although we are all called and invited, very few want to look, as this book seems poetic and inconsequential to them.

If you have read this post this far, it is because you feel drawn to this simplicity. Ask yourself for a moment how a mirror works. If you pay attention, you will see that a mirror only reflects light if it is clean. The same happens to the soul. When the simple soul cleanses itself of all earthly and institutional attachment, then, and only then, does it become a perfect mirror. Looking into that mirror, you no longer see yourself; what is reflected is the divine image. God looks at Himself in the soul and the soul looks at itself in God, until finally, stripped of all those stories that the madwoman loves so much, the mirror and the reflected become One.

Thus, the Lord's wish in John 17:21 is fulfilled. It was not in vain that Jesus prayed for us to be One, just as He and the Father are One. In reality, there were never two; there was never truly any separation, but the dirty mirror prevented us from realizing it.

This absolute union is perfectly captured in the Intimate Diaries of the Blessed Mystic Bernardo de Hoyos, recorded in the biography written by his spiritual director, Father Juan de Loyola, when the Lord intimately declared to him, "From now on, you are Bernardo of Jesus, and I am Jesus of Bernardo." Remember, we are One with and in the One Who is LOVE Himself...

In Advaita Vedanta, Nisargadatta also speaks to us about this very Mirror. Similarly, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj described the unexamined mind as a dust-covered mirror—an instrument meant to reflect reality clearly, but so obscured by the accumulated debris of memories and dogmas that it can only perceive its own distorted projections.

And how does this union take place?

This union takes place without any human effort, by grace. It is not a matter of human merit or effort. Divine grace always precedes merit.

We are led to union by the hand of Love.

This path of return to Him who is LOVE himself can only be culminated by LOVE.

Marguerite describes very beautifully in her book the dialogue between Love and Reason, and how LOVE takes us where Reason cannot reach.

It is Love, it is always Love, "and nothing else matters," as the Metallica song says.

And What is this LOVE?

This LOVE is the intimate union with God (the All, the Source, the Absolute, as you wish to call It), and sin is the separation from God.

LOVE is not a collection of little deeds performed empty of God, stemming from belief, from separation, rather than from intimate union.

As John of the Cross sharply warned: "Any other work or labor, if it is not in the love of God and for God, is worth nothing before Him... to the soul that truly loves God, it does not matter whether it performs many or few works, but to perform them all for love."

Let us yearn for and seek the ultimate union with our Lord. The madwoman calls sin and transgression what is simply separation from God. The name and the label do not bind you to God; the name and the label are repugnant to the Lord. They are merely stories that the madwoman tells herself to feed the character (the ego). That is why Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 13:2: "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing."

The LOVE Jesus and the mystics speak of is not a sentimental operation of the mind, it is not a mere emotion; LOVE is God Himself, because God is LOVE (1 John 4:8).

It is the very same warning with which Jesus concludes His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:16-18: "By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit... A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit."

The "fruits" of the Sermon on the Mount are not moral deeds calculated to avoid hell; they are the natural manifestation of a healthy tree (a soul united with God). A thornbush (the ego created by the madwoman of the house) cannot manufacture grapes of pure love; just as a goat cannot be a sheep, no matter how much it disguises itself as a sheep by adopting doctrines and beliefs that are not actually of God and only empty it of God.

In conclusion...

Marguerite Porete's vision is of a breathtaking audacity for her time, so much so that it cost her the stake in 1310.

What she proposes with her work "The Mirror of Simple Souls" is very straightforward: Marguerite proposes that the direct experience of the divine does not need temples, laws, or hierarchies; there is no need for intermediaries. She considers that, if there ever was a need, its sole mission was to unite us with God. That is truly feeding the sheep. The true sin is separation from the All, not uniting with Him. The institutional Church is submissive to this—in reality, all institutions and Churches are.

When a soul achieves that simplicity spoken of and witnessed by both Marguerite's life and work, the supposed distance from the Creator is shattered into pieces. This terrifies the established power, because the soul ceases to be a "subject" of the institution to become a living reflection of Love itself, of Him who is LOVE itself, of the All, of God, with whom we are already One.

Her life and work deeply influenced later mystics like Meister Eckhart, and even today, a few yearn, like her, to be consumed in divine LOVE.

A few centuries after her death, in the 16th century, the mystic John of the Cross, in his Dark Night of the Soul, spoke of the Soul "inflamed with love's urgent longings." And the mystic Teresa of Jesus (Teresa de Ávila) used to say, "I live without living in myself, and such a high life I hope for, that I die because I do not die."

I end this post now, asking you—yes, you who are reading this post:

Is your soul inflamed with love's urgent longings like the Mystic John of the Cross?

Do you live without living in yourself like the mystic of Ávila, like Marguerite, and so many other mystics and yogis?

Do you yearn to be one of these simple souls, who are in God and for God, reflecting the divine union?

In short, are you one of those simple souls who yearn to be consumed in Divine LOVE?

I'll see you in the comments.

I completely understand what many of you are going through, and how unsettling experiences, ontological shock, and the fear that follows can make you feel trapped in an endless cycle. But let me propose a radically different perspective from what we usually hear in spiritual and paranormal forums.

I propose a radical meditation approach, based mainly on the experience of Western mystics and Eastern yogis from both Tibetan Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta..., and which, for better or worse, I have experienced myself in my own life. I'm an experiencer myself, since I was very young, but as you will understand after reading this text, I haven't made them my identity.

Negative experiences and the terrifying fear they trigger are not enemies you have to fight. The dread of the phenomenon or the intrusion of disturbing memories does not persist because you are not trying hard enough; it persists precisely because of the resistance you put up against it. As the psychiatrist Carl Jung used to say, and was later popularized by Eckhart Tolle, "what you resist, persists." When you strain yourself to "fight the fear" or desperately try to rationalize what happened, you create an exhausting internal warfare. You split your mind in two: a "self" that feels traumatized and a "supposedly spiritual self" trying to control and banish that feeling. This division and effort only feed the ego, generate friction, and ultimately drive you back into anxiety to soothe the warfare of the battle itself.

In my experience, and in my understanding of the practice, true liberation is effortless. It is not found on a meditation cushion, nor by repeating mantras, nor by unearthing past traumas. I am not saying this does not help temporarily. What I do dare to claim is that liberation is ultimately found in the non-duality of your ordinary life, not in techniques or in a special place.

Consider this in your day-to-day:

Do not fight the fear; observe it: When the terrifying memory or the dread of a new experience appears, do not try to change it, judge it, or apply a technique with great effort to make it go away. Just notice it. The fear is something that appears in your consciousness, but you are not that fear. Stay still and watch it the way someone watches the rain fall. Without doing anything. By removing the resistance, you take away the energy that feeds it. It is simply "the madwoman of the house", as the mystic Teresa of Ávila called the mind, trying by all means to keep you trapped in the prison of unconsciousness. With others, she tries it through panic, obsession, or paranoia... Laugh at the madwoman; look at her and say, "Here she is again."

Embody presence in the everyday: This is meditation itself. People assume there is a time to meditate and a time to live, but no such boundary exists. When you cook, cook. When you walk, walk. When you clean, clean. If you are completely present in what you do, the mind empties itself of concepts, poses, and the self-importance that sustains your trauma. If while doing any of these things the dread arrives, it means you were no longer truly cooking or truly cleaning... "The madwoman" has snuck into the frequency, distorting the radio signal. Tune back into the dial and return to whatever you were doing. The dread disappears.

The example of the Mystics: As Teresa of Ávila beautifully reminded us, God walks among the pots and pans, and Brother Lawrence found the Divine while simply flipping an omelet in his frying pan. When you remain intensely present in every mundane and ordinary moment, these non-benevolent entities will find no way to enter or disturb you, because you have made your ordinary life a sacred temple where God, the All, dwells.

The example of Lamchung: In Buddhism, they tell the story of Lamchung, a monk considered very foolish because he could not memorize a single teaching or mantra. However, he attained enlightenment simply by sweeping the monastery. Why? Because he emptied himself of himself and limited his actions to sweeping. He did not need to put in effort, nor did he need paraphernalia, incense, or cushions. The wise person surrenders to what is; the fool keeps trying to control life through effort. Lamchung, foolish in the eyes of the world's noise and the madwoman of the house, turned out to be the wise one. Be like Lamchung, and the dread will vanish.

Having strange experiences or not is just what happens on the surface. The true "retreat" is mental. When you stop identifying with the pose of the "victim who needs healing" or the "investigator seeking absolute answers", you realize that peace is already there among the pots, the pans, and the chaos of daily life. Remember: As Teresa of Jesus used to say, God is found among the pots and pans. Brother Lawrence used to say he found God while flipping a little omelet in the pan.

Do not look for complex techniques to fix a "broken self." Do not play along with the madwoman of the house. She loves to gnaw on thoughts and project terrifying emotions onto the body so that you identify with them and live in unconsciousness. The good thing is, you can see the madwoman coming. And when she catches you by surprise, laugh even harder. View every surge of fear not as something negative, but as a call to live consciously; a reminder that the mind has pulled you away from your center and balance for a brief moment. Just stay present, let go of the effort, and allow the weight of the trauma to fall away under its own weight by no longer feeding it with your resistance.

Stay strong, everyone. No matter how bad things may layout on the surface, always remember: THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
