I agree 100% with this other than the fact that we are god collectively. (A collective energy of some sort possibly.) I’m not claiming to have all the answers but do believe God as being separate from humans, and Christ as our mediator between this perfect and holy God. I do believe however that we are incapable of understanding God, ourselves, and the universe around us as it truly is due to our 3D perception of reality (it’s like trying to explain how the internet works to an ant). But do believe this thought process to be to be the correct path towards understanding and enlightenment (at least to the best of our capability). God bless 🙏
It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with primary consciousness will probably have to come first.
What I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing.
I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order.
My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461
The energy that’s just waiting for us to tap in is there idling… but it’s choice based on our level of perception… I’m still learning the potentials and this helps thank you for this snippet

uhhh idk
Watching this later
DEEP … really deep
Don’t do drugs kids

Also, is there a longer version of this? I would love to hear more of what you have to say on this topic.

Yes I amazing
When I studied this 5 years ago people thought I was crazy. It’s awesome people are learning this now and tapping into new things.
I explain it w learning how to draw/art; stick figures/letters, shaded/painted artwork, sculptures, digital art and so on… 🎨đźŽđź–Ľ
Lol fuck around do some shrooms to this
Damn !
LETTTTSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOO

If you think of humans as energy we can be created and destroyed
