question - what would Federic Faggin think of this?
- He comes from an experiential perspective, not just an intellectual one.
question - what would Federic Faggin think of this?
- I don't think Michael Levin provides a satisfactory answer to this and this is related to the meaning crisis modernity finds itself in
- when traditional religions no longer suffice,
- but there is nothing in modernity that can fill the gap yet, if mortality salience is a big issue
- I don't think an intellectual answer can meet the needs of people suffering in the meaning crisis, although it is necessary, it is not sufficient
- I think they are after some kind of nonverbal, nondual transformative experience
question - multi-scale communication
- This is also a question about multi-scale communication
- I've recently used a metaphor to compare
- the unitary, monatic experience of consciousness to
- an elected government
- The trillions of cells "elect" consciousness" as the high level government to oversea them
- but we seem to be in the situation of the government being out of touch with the citizens
- At one time in our history, was it common to be able for
- high level consciousness to communicate directly with
- low level cells and subcellular structures?
- If so, why has this practice disappeared and
- how can we re-establish it?
question - Are Tibetan Rainbow body and knowing time of death examples of multi-scale communications?
- In some older spiritual traditions such as found in the East, it seems deep meditative practitioners are able to achieve a degree of communications with parts of their body that is unconventional and surprising to modern researchers
- For example, Tibetan meditators report of having the abiity to predict the time of their death by recognizing subtle bodily, interoceptive signals
- Rare instances also occur of the Rainbow Body, when great meditators in the Dzogchen tradition whose body at time of death can disappear in a body of light
