Pretty cool video on neurons and consciousness. Kind of monotone but I like the way its put together. About an hour long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbh5l0b2-0o"Energy flows where attention goes" [Please review the forum Wiki and FAQ before posting questions]

Very nice! Hard to understand toward they end where they start theory crafting with equations and consciousness.. I just don't think you can put consciousness into a mathematical equation. Either way, it was entertaining. "Think more than you speak"
"How do you get rid of the pain of having pain in the first place? You get rid of expectations"
"You are everything that is. Open yourself to the love and understanding that is available."
"To see God, you have to have met the Devil."
"When you know how to listen, everyone becomes a guru."
" One time, I didn't do anything, and it was so empty... Almost as if I wasn't doing anything. Then I wrote about it. It was fulfilling."

Being someone who knows quantum mechanics, I have never really liked Athene's work. Every day I am thankful that I was introduced to psychedelic drugs.

Either way, it was entertaining. I tend to see it differently. The brain is basically a biological machine. There are triggers, that set off chemical reactions and chemicals that determine mood and understanding. Now as far as what powers our consciousness, our spirit for example, that's a whole different ballpark. The mind just doesn't seem that complicated to me. Although I want to add I don't end up finishing the video cause I had some things to do and was extremely tired last night after working these 12 hour shifts. Ill finish it up tonight and comment note. Hixidom, could you expand more on what aspects you don't like?

Posted this awhile ago XD https://www.dmt-nexus.me...aspx?g=posts&t=40613but good stuff  Have you seen the extension, The afterlife Disfunction? We have chosen this life for a reason, and it is our purpose to understand why.
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced; live your life so that when you pass, the world cries and you rejoice.
Only those who are willing to go too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

I love the ending, saying that "an afterlife is inevitable" I think social cognitive neuroscience would be a great field to go into. We have chosen this life for a reason, and it is our purpose to understand why.
