@Unexplained2020 Truth

This mysterious inventor named Itzhak Bentov, whose ideas on consciousness were later used by the CIA’s Gateway Project, claimed that we do not “have” a soul; instead, the soul has us. Bentov said everything vibrates, atoms, molecules, sound, light, even gravity, and reality is built from these vibrating patterns of harmony and disharmony. He thought that for tiny moments, when vibrations cancel out to zero (a node), our reality “switches” into a higher, more refined state, briefly connecting us to a deeper level of existence. His ideas became the scientific base for the U.S. Army/CIA Gateway Process report written by Lt. Col. Wayne McDonnell in 1983. Bentov’s model suggested that the body and mind can be “tuned” like an instrument using meditation, biofeedback, hypnosis, or Kundalini yoga, leading to altered states, out-of-body experiences, and expanded awareness. In his book “Stalking the Wild Pendulum,” he argued that consciousness is not created by the brain but is a fundamental part of the universe, like energy or matter. He compared the brain to a radio: it doesn’t make the broadcast, it just tunes into an already existing field of consciousness around us. Bentov claimed we don’t “have” a soul; instead, the soul has us: the soul is eternal, the body is temporary, like a car that the soul uses to gather experience over many lifetimes. On the physical level, people look separate, but on higher levels, soul, higher self, spiritual level, our energies overlap more and more. At the highest level, everything and everyone is connected everywhere at once; he said we are all slowly evolving toward a god-like, all-aware state, and the universe itself “wants” us to learn and become more conscious. Bentov believed even atoms have a tiny bit of consciousness, and as life becomes more complex, awareness increases, though we still sense only a narrow band of reality.

@mikepompeo Not supporting genocide

The fact that nearly half of House Democrats voted against U.S. aid to Israel speaks volumes about how quickly the party is being taken over by radical anti-Israel leftists. Where are the Democrats of conscience who stood with Israel for so many years?

✨🇨🇳Xi Jinping:Where is humanity headed? All nations share the same boat. Instead of drifting apart on more than 190 small craft, we should unite as one big vessel or form a joint fleet, so that all mankind can sail toward a brighter future. If human civilizations are reduced to a single color or a single model, the world would become a stereotype and too dull a place to live in. What we need is to respect each other as equals and say no to hubris and prejudice. We need to deepen understanding of the differences between our own civilizations and others, and advance exchanges, dialogue and harmonious coexistence among all civilizations.

Elon Musk showed up to his own birthday party in 2008 and nobody was there. He had invited friends. Most of them had stopped returning his calls because he had borrowed money from nearly everyone he knew and the companies were failing publicly. His brother Kimbal was the only one who came. They sat together in an almost empty room and Elon said something Kimbal has never forgotten. He said "I think I used up all my goodwill." Not dramatically. Factually. Like he was reading a balance sheet of human relationships and the number had hit zero. This was the man who had made his friends millionaires from PayPal. The same people who became wealthy because of him were now avoiding his calls because his new ventures looked like they were going to fail. The loyalty evaporated at exactly the same speed as the bank balance. Kimbal said Elon didn't seem angry about it. He seemed like a man confirming something he had always suspected. That most relationships are transactional and the transaction was no longer favorable. The loneliest birthday in Silicon Valley history happened to a man who had made more people rich than almost anyone in the room. And the lesson it taught him about loyalty and isolation is visible in every decision he has made since. He stopped expecting people to stay. He started expecting them to leave. And he built everything after that accordingly.

Extreme is relative. A dark retreat is three days. The noise has had years. Read it twice. Then ask yourself which of the two numbers should actually worry you. Applications for the Acraya dark retreat study are open, link in bio.

What could you concentrate on if nothing could interrupt you? No light, no screen, nothing at all? That depth is exactly what our dark retreat study is measuring, and there are limited slots. Apply now, link in bio.

Jensen Huang just made the case that the smartest person in the room is now the most replaceable person on earth. Huang: “The definition of smart is somebody who’s intelligent, solve problems, technical. But I find that that’s a commodity. And we’re about to prove that artificial intelligence is able to handle that part easiest.” The skill you built your entire identity around was the first thing the machine replicated. Not the hardest part. The easiest. Huang: “People who are able to see around corners are truly, truly smart. And their value is incredible. To be able to preempt problems before they show up, just because you feel the vibe.” Huang: “That vibe came from a combination of data, analysis, first principle, life experience, wisdom, sensing other people.” The vibe is not intuition. It is decades of failed bets, human friction, and first-principles thinking compressed into a single read no model can replicate. You cannot prompt your way to it. You earn it by surviving things that had no instructions. Huang: “I think long term the definition of smart is someone who sits at that intersection of being technically astute, but human empathy and having the ability to infer the unspoken, around the corners, the unknowables.” Every institution you ever passed through graded you on the one thing the machine now does for free. The thing they never tested you on is the only thing that still matters. Huang: “And that person might actually score horribly on the SAT.” The SAT did not measure intelligence. It measured obedience to structure. The future does not reward what you can solve inside a framework someone handed you. It rewards what you can see when no framework exists. The machine did not replace human intelligence. It revealed that what we spent a century calling intelligence was never intelligence at all. The people who memorized the answers are about to work for the people who sensed the questions before anyone thought to ask.

Truth

Every room holds the way it was made. Ours began at 11,000 feet in Mustang, in a stone hut, drawn by hand beside the teacher whose tradition carried this practice for a thousand years. One day you will sit in that room. It will remember. Waitlist open (link in bio).

The traditions have a rule about kundalini: the energy is not the achievement. The preparation is. Father Francis Tiso, Catholic priest and Buddhist studies scholar, on what this power offers when the ground is ready, and what it costs when it is not. Full conversation link in comments, reservations are now open (link in bio)

Buddhism isn’t soft. It’s one of the most rigorous mind-training systems ever built. That’s how Father Francis Tiso, Catholic priest, Buddhist studies scholar, frames it. And he’d know. Follow us for more teachings.

The deepest clarity comes not from thinking harder, but from removing everything that interrupts the knowing you already carry. You were never confused. You were just crowded. Bookmark this and follow for more.

One of the strangest, most documented claims in all of contemplative practice, and almost no one outside the tradition has heard of it. The rainbow body: what Dzogchen and Bön masters are said to attain at death, as the body begins to dissolve. For full conversation, follow us.

@RoKhanna @elonmusk @EleanorClift @MarkHalperin Or maybe just less corruption, waste and incompetence?

The real issue is not even that @elonmusk is a trillionaire, but it is how a country that is producing such unprecedented wealth can fail to provide healthcare for all its citizens. It is a values issue. We need a New Deal for our time. @EleanorClift @MarkHalperin

@newstart_2024 You mean the Russell Brand who repeatedly sexually assaults women to satisfy his uncontrollable desires?

Bill Maher says he never married because he loves lust too much. Russell Brand called it straight: What you’re really missing is true intimacy. You’re eating the crumbs instead of the full meal. In a culture that glorifies endless options and novelty, real depth and commitment often deliver the satisfaction that chasing lust never quite does. Do you think endless singledom and lust is ultimately fulfilling, or does real intimacy require deeper commitment?

@RoKhanna Except the data shows that billions of $ into Dept of Edu over last 50 years has actually resulted in poorer education performance.

This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.
