Deep dives
Key Point 1: Explaining the Existence and Causal Effects of Consciousness
A theory of consciousness should clarify why consciousness exists and detail the causal impacts of consciousness, such as its functionality for evolution. Additionally, understanding the palette problem involving qualia values like the blueness of blue and the relationship between them is essential. To be comprehensive, a theory must identify all possible qualia and demonstrate how colors interrelate in a network of differences.
Key Point 2: Addressing Binding and Weird Experiences
In addition to explaining the palette of consciousness, a comprehensive theory must account for the binding problem, elucidating how information is integrated into coherent entities. Moreover, it should tackle all peculiar experiences, like the manifestation of hyperbolic geometry under the influence of substances like DMT. The ability to interpret and explain every unique encounter is crucial for a complete theory of consciousness.
Key Point 3: The Significance of Features and Resonance in Consciousness
Features, comprising elements of resonance within the brain, are fundamental to conscious experiences. Identifying and focusing on features, like melody in songs or color in objects, forms the basis of our conscious awareness. The resonance in the brain binds these features together, assigning them labels like 'man' or 'apple,' emphasizing the importance of features as the 'currency' of consciousness.
Key Point 4: Qualia as Essential Elements in Consciousness
Qualia, as distinct features of resonance in the brain, underpin conscious experiences. They represent specific aspects like melody in music and color in visual perceptions. The binding of qualia through resonance shapes our understanding of the world, allowing us to identify and categorize different sensory inputs. Exploring and defining qualia enriches our comprehension of consciousness and its intricate workings.
Distinct Vibratory States in Consciousness
Concentration practices like Jhana induce a unique experience where consciousness transitions between extreme spatial focus, collapsing into a singular point, and intense frequency focus, transforming into a resonant vibration. This fundamental trade-off suggests that normal consciousness results from a mixture of sampling spatial and temporal information, influencing individual perspectives and experiences.
External Observers in Entity Encounters
In compelling entity experiences, indicators like a forced state of consciousness and the need to match vibratory patterns suggest communication with potentially external entities. Empirically testing for injected energy signatures could determine if these experiences originate externally. The unique trade-offs experienced between frequency and spatial domains hint at the limitations of perception in fully knowing external existences.
Interaction with 'Intex' as a Collective Civilization
Communicating with 'Intex' parallels engaging with entire nations rather than singular beings, involving various aspects of the civilization. The experience resembles interacting with different functional entities within a societal framework, presenting diverse geometrical, vibratory, and spatial elements that contribute to the complex interaction dynamics.
Structural Elements in Intex Communication
Encounters with 'Intex' manifest as a maze-like spatial setting with corridors, doors, and rooms, imbued with symbols like pentagons and hands, representing 'Intex' entities. Concrete interactions involve communication without visual humanoid forms, emphasizing geometrical symbols and structured environments rather than physical appearances.
Understanding the Role of Entity Encounters in the Interpretation of Universal Wisdom
The podcast delves into the concept of entity encounters, exploring the significance of interactions with entities in shaping individual understanding of universal wisdom. By discussing encounters with entities showcasing distinct perspectives, such as the high-dimensional spa experience and encounters in higher dimensions, the episode highlights how these encounters offer insights into complex universal truths, offering guidance on pain alleviation and spiritual development.
Diverse Political Structures and Values in the Universe
The podcast discusses the intricate dynamics of political structures and values within the universe, emphasizing the existence of diverse approaches to governance and belief systems. It explores the idea of large-scale politics through thermodynamics, elucidating the emergence of coalitional visions and the evolution of diverse value systems across civilizations and entities.
Mathematical Insights Beyond Godel's Incompleteness Theorem
The episode delves into mathematical revelations beyond Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, shedding light on unique mathematical perspectives transmitted through entity encounters. By sharing a personal experience of being shown how to traverse between two universes and interpreting Godel's theorem, the podcast showcases the depth of mathematical insights derived from these encounters.
Healing and Pain Relief Through Psychedelic Entities
The podcast explores the phenomenon of pain relief and healing facilitated by psychedelic entities, focusing on their role in alleviating cluster headaches, migraines, and other chronic pain conditions. Through accounts of experiences in a high-dimensional spa and revelations about the pain relief process, the episode highlights the potential transformative impact of psychedelic encounters on physical ailments and spiritual growth.
Humans have long encountered experiences that challenge their rational ideas about the world. Encounters with angels, demons, fairies, gnomes, or other spirits have been the standards of folklore since time immemorial. We agree with Jung that these revelations are scientifically valuable, though best explored though any lens but materialism; i.e. physics. When we learn about common bizarre experiences, we learn about ourselves. Author Ogi Ogas joins us again, alongside Qualia Research Institute's Andrés Gómez Emilsson, to discuss close encounters with the modern version of those elusive, yet timeless, entities. We begin with the phenomenological approaches to studying consciousness. We then compare both guest's experience with non-human minds. Tell us your thoughts in the comments!!!

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
