You Can't Spiritually 'Wake Up' - You Can Only Become Lucid. 

Beautiful! That quote of Frank Herbert reminds me of Stephen Wolfram who talks about reality being computational irreducible. In order to compute what is going to happen, we have no other option than to let life unfold, because some things in life are so entangled that we can not know until reality knows, so to speak. Perhaps that is also the key that you are talking about? To know reality is to experience reality. If in some sense we try to objective reality or contrast it with anything else, we are trying to compute reality, which can not be done, because even reality does not know reality until it happens.

love the visual audio combo.

👏 the matrix analogy and becoming lucid reminds me of this convo in the matrix movie: Neo: I thought it wasn't real. Morpheus: Your mind makes it real. Neo: If you're killed in the Matrix, you die here? Morpheus: The body cannot live without the mind.

This is beautiful! Thank you for your contributions to the expansion of conscioussness.

Beautiful! Thank you Roger

I experienced those terrifying false awakenings when I detoxed from alcohol. 3 days of mental torment, every kind of hallucination, fear.

11:39 but isn't metacognition just another qualia ahah ? In that way enlightenment could be seen as having more of that qualia
