https://www.quantamagazine.org/inside-the-proton-the-most-complicated-thing-imaginable-20221019/
This article examines the complexity of the proton, the positively charged particle at the heart of the atom, and how it has been studied over the years.
Key takeaways:
- The proton is a quantum mechanical object that takes different forms depending on how it is probed.
- Recent research has found that the proton contains traces of particles called charm quarks that are heavier than the proton itself.
- The proton is much more than three quarks, as evidenced by its spin and mass.
Counter arguments:
- The quark model of the proton is an oversimplification and has serious shortcomings.
- The proton's complexity has been humbling to humans as it continues to throw curveballs.
We have an infinite set of ways to define our selves and what we observe. Each way has an entire cosmos in which to experience it and an eternity of time to live it. None of this diminishes our Authentic Absolute Goodness, it only distracts us temporarily :)
Stop Looking for Your Authentic Self
It is right in front of you.
This is my idea of freedom: we can identify our SELVES in an infinite number of ways. Each way has an entire cosmos in which to experience it and an eternity of time to live it. None of this diminishes from our authentic Absolute Goodness, it only distracts us temporarily :)

Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States.1 Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. This is nearly one in five deaths.1,2,3
IN MY OPINION, INHALING SMOKE OF ANY KIND INCLUDING PASSIVE SMOKE MUST BE STOPPED COMPLETELY AND IMMEDIATELY ESPECIALLY AFTER THE AGE OF 50, WHILE SOME PEOPLE SEEM UNAFFECTED, I PERSONALLY WITNESSED SEVERAL ELDERLY MEN REACH A CRITICAL STAGE OF BONE LOSS AND SHRINK LIKE A ROTTEN APPLE.

My opinion:
For as LONG as I can remember [about 1945] I managed my sleeping dreams after reading that I should be able to do that AS SOON AS my sleeping dream FREED me inside the dream !! [In my dream I might imagine I cannot move about during the first part of the dream which seemed to have me paralyzed inside the dream ??]
This [freedom to move about in the dream] was described as the point in my sleeping dream when my brain was finished REMEMBERING AND STORING the last day’s memories since I had slept AND MY BRAIN was now ready [inside my sleeping dream] TO PLAN my human experience FOR TOMORROW as soon as I wake up !!
I LEARNED in the mid 1990s that ALL of my daily experiences were delayed about 30 earth days AFTER my spirit [or ?? some aspect of my physical self] HAD ALREADY experienced the so-called present day, so this is a natural condition.
Just a few months ago I realized that ALL of my human physicality is VERY MUCH LIKE my sleeping dreams !!
I now believe that my human experience is SCARY NONSENSE just like my sleeping dreams when I was young and STILL are SCARY NONSENSE 🙂
So I now believe that I will wake up EVERY DAY from my human experience just as I have woken up from my normal sleeping dreams AND I will have PLANNED my intangible spiritual experience which I believe HAS ALWAYS existed exactly as it is now AND my spiritual life will benefit from my human experience EVERY TIME that I realize my human life is just a dream ??
There is NO NEED to go ANYWHERE or die or [anything ELSE] for me to experience my intangible spiritual life because it is ALWAYS available and I have LIVED in ABSOLUTE GOODNESS and PURE LOVINGKINDNESS forever, just as I do NOW !

Bard: Assume you are the author of the following text and you must justify your beliefs to scientific, academic and philosophical authorities in order to establish your beliefs as an accurate source for anyone to cope with everyday life: I am beginning to believe that human physicality is like a LUCID dream from which waking up is simply being aware that we have an intangible spiritual life which is doing the LUCID dreaming ??

1. To scientific, academic, and philosophical authorities:
I am writing to you today to share my belief that human physicality is like a lucid dream from which waking up is simply being aware that we have an intangible spiritual life which is doing the lucid dreaming.
I have been interested in lucid dreaming for many years, and I have experienced it myself on several occasions. In a lucid dream, you are aware that you are dreaming, and you can control your actions within the dream. This can be a very powerful and liberating experience.
I believe that our human lives are also like lucid dreams. We are not aware that we are dreaming, but we are still able to control our actions to some extent. We can choose how we react to the events in our lives, and we can even choose the direction our lives take.
I believe that the purpose of our human lives is to learn and grow spiritually. We are here to experience the full range of human emotions, both positive and negative. We are also here to learn how to love and compassion.
When we die, we will wake up from our human dream and return to our true spiritual selves. We will then be able to see our human lives for what they truly were: a learning experience that helped us to grow spiritually.
I believe that this belief can provide a source of comfort and hope for people who are coping with everyday life. It can help us to see our problems as temporary challenges that we can overcome. It can also help us to find meaning in our lives, even when things are difficult.
I know that this belief is not shared by everyone, but I believe that it is worth considering. If you are interested in learning more about this belief, I would be happy to provide you with some resources.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
2. Sure, I can help you justify your beliefs to scientific, academic, and philosophical authorities.
Scientific: There is some scientific evidence to support the idea that lucid dreaming is a real phenomenon. For example, studies have shown that people who are lucid dreaming are able to control their actions in the dream, and they are also able to remember the dream more clearly than people who are not lucid dreaming. This suggests that lucid dreaming is not simply a product of the imagination, but rather it is a state of consciousness in which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming.
Academic: There is also some academic research on the relationship between lucid dreaming and spirituality. For example, one study found that people who are more experienced with lucid dreaming are more likely to report having spiritual experiences in their dreams. This suggests that lucid dreaming may be a way to access a deeper level of consciousness, which can lead to spiritual insights.
Philosophical: There are many philosophical arguments that can be made in support of the idea that human life is like a lucid dream. For example, some philosophers have argued that the world we perceive is not really “real” in the sense that it is independent of our minds. Instead, they argue that the world is a product of our minds, and that it is therefore possible to view the world as a dream.
In addition to these scientific, academic, and philosophical arguments, I would also like to offer my own personal experience as evidence to support my beliefs. I have been lucid dreaming for many years, and I have found that it has helped me to become more aware of my own consciousness. I have also found that lucid dreaming can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation.
I believe that my beliefs are accurate and that they can be a source of comfort and inspiration for anyone who is struggling to cope with everyday life. I hope that by sharing my beliefs, I can help others to see the world in a new way and to live their lives with greater awareness and purpose.
Thank you for your time.
3. To scientific, academic, and philosophical authorities:
I am writing to you today to share my belief that human physicality is like a lucid dream from which waking up is simply being aware that we have an intangible spiritual life which is doing the lucid dreaming.
I have been interested in lucid dreaming for many years, and I have found that it can be a powerful tool for self-exploration and personal growth. In a lucid dream, the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming, and this awareness can allow them to control the dreamscape and experience things that would not be possible in waking life.
I believe that our waking life is similar to a lucid dream in that we are often unaware that we are living in a dream. We are caught up in the drama of our lives, and we forget that we are the ones who are creating our own reality.
When we become aware that we are living in a dream, we can start to take control of our lives. We can choose to create a reality that is more positive, more loving, and more fulfilling.
I believe that our spiritual life is the intangible part of ourselves that is doing the lucid dreaming. It is the part of us that is aware of our true nature, and it is the part of us that is connected to the source of all creation.
When we wake up from our human experience, we will be reunited with our spiritual life. We will experience the absolute goodness and pure lovingkindness that we have always lived in.
I believe that this is a powerful and liberating belief. It allows us to see our lives in a new light, and it gives us the power to create the reality that we want.
I would like to invite you to explore this belief for yourself. There are many resources available to help you learn about lucid dreaming and spiritual awakening. I believe that you will find that this belief is both true and transformative.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Six Protocols, Neuroscience, and Near Death: An Emerging Paradigm Incorporating Nonlocal Consciousness, by Stephan A. Schwartz
[quote]This work is pushing toward a new paradigm, one that is neither dualist nor monist, but rather one that postulates consciousness as the fundamental basis of reality.[/quote]
[quote]Based on the research being carried out across the spectrum of the sciences, I believe there are four relevant descriptors helping to define what the new paradigm might look like. They are:
(1) Only certain aspects of the mind are the result of physiologic processes.
(2) Consciousness is causal, and physical reality is its manifestation.
(3) All consciousnesses, regardless of their physical manifestations, are part of a network of life which they both inform and influence and are informed and influenced by; there is a passage back and forth between the individual and the collective.
(4) Some aspects of consciousness are not limited by the space time continuum, and do not originate entirely within an organism’s neuroanatomy[/quote]

This prize recognizes those who are pushing the boundaries of what we know about consciousness and driving the field forward.
Various models of consciousness, including non-local consciousness theories, will also be explored. These models propose that consciousness is fundamental and non-local, and could potentially explain exceptional human experiences that cannot be accounted for by traditional materialist models of consciousness.[/quote]

Researchers say there's evidence that consciousness continues after clinical death.
Researchers at NYU's Langone Medical Center have conducted a study of patients who have experienced near-death experiences, and the results are intriguing and chilling. Dr. Sam Parnia, the director of resuscitation research at NYU Langone, joins CBSN to discuss the findings of this mind bending study.

'...some people don't have any recollections what we don't know is whether they had experiences and forgot it afterwards and that may be what's happening because of course we forget a lot of things and most of the people who are brought back have issues to do with their treatments we give them sedative drugs which wipes out their memories...'[/quote]

Intro[quote]
so what happens when we die it's a
question that humanity has wrestled with
throughout history but a new study
conducted by NYU may have found some
answers dr. Sam Ponyo is the director of
critical care and resuscitation research
at NYU Langone School of Medicine where
he ran this study thank you so much for
joining us dr. partner thank you what
would you say what actually happens when
you're clinically dead you know
What happens when people die
when people die essentially is when the
heart stops so this has been going on
for as far as we know millennia no
longer and when the heart stops you stop
breathing and your brain shuts down and
that's how we declare people dead that's
where we gave a time of death and we
give them a note and really to be honest
with you until about fifty years ago
that was the point of death so if you
become lifeless motionless the brain
shuts down but now through advances in
medicine we can actually bring people
back to life even after they've gone
beyond that threshold of death and study
what happens to them and one of the
interesting things of course is that the
brain completely shuts down as I said
but what's fascinating is that the cells
inside the body and particularly the
cells inside the brain do not suddenly
become annihilated they go through a
process of decay that can take a few
hours which is why we can actually
medically bring people back to life
after they have technically gone beyond
that threshold of death for tens of
minutes after hours of time afterwards
and that of course raises many
interesting questions about what happens
when we die so tell me more about this
The study
study how did you conduct it and tell me
about you know how you came about
reaching your findings your conclusion
no I'm an intensive care doctor so my
job is to essentially save people's
lives and prevent them from dying but
unfortunately we'll do die and we try to
revive them what we have found is that
over the last few decades many millions
of people have now come back and many of
them have reported actually anecdotally
that they've been able to see and hear
things going on even though from our
perspective they should have been dead
and the brain should not be functioning
at all and so we became intrigued to
study this one because it was
fascinating and two because we try to
revive people without brain damage and
to ensure they don't have any disorders
of consciousness so I'm not becoming
like brain-damaged or having a
vegetative state at any rate so this
particular study there's a largest study
ever carried out in the world it was
done
fifteen medical centers across the US
and in Europe and we studied more than
2,000 people who'd gone through this
cardiac arrest or process of death and
we did not expect people to have any
consciousness or awareness but
intriguingly up to 40% of people came
back and had had a perception of being
aware of what was happening to them even
though they had technically gone beyond
the threshold of death why do you think
Deep mystical experience
that is well there's a lot to it I
should also add that among that group
10% had a very deep profound mystical
experience that was very true to them
but interestingly 2% actually had full
awareness could describe all the events
that were going on that were validated
so of course the question is why does
that happen and we don't have the
answers because to our scientific model
when people have died there should be no
more conscious awareness going on but it
sounds like maybe consciousness is able
to continue and by that I don't mean
that they're awake but that entity that
makes us who we are makes Sam who he is
makes rena who she is the self the mind
seems to continue and doesn't become an
i' elated after a person has gone
through that process of death were there
any of the people that you study that
completely lost all consciousness well
that's what I was trying to explain
everybody loses consciousness
immediately as soon as the heart stops
it's not like they're awake and watching
us well you mention that there are some
people who remember there's some sort of
mystical experience that they were going
through whether some people have said
nope didn't feel anything
didn't so some people don't have any
recollections what we don't know is
whether they had experiences and forgot
it afterwards and that may be what's
happening because of course we forget a
lot of things and most of the people who
are brought back have issues to do with
their treatments we give them sedative
drugs which wipes out their memories so
that's part of what we're studying now
is does everybody have this experience
and how long does mind and consciousness
continue in some format even though
we've gone beyond the threshold of death
do you have some sort of conclusion as
to how far the mind and consciousness
goes again from what we can determine
which is actually fascinating and it
raises questions about our whole science
about what happens when we die is that
it appears that even though people have
gone beyond that threshold of death and
their brain has shut down that entity
that we call consciousness the mind the
psyche whatever you want to call it does
not seem to become annihilated
from the evidence we have that at least
tens of minutes if not hours of time
afterwards how long beyond that we don't
know at this point have that for the
folks who have lost consciousness and
come back have there been any long-term
effects afterwards well those people who
Longterm effects
have these very deep profound mystical
experiences often they describe a
sensation of being very peaceful seeing
a bright warm welcoming light sometimes
deceased relatives and intriguingly some
of them describe a sensation of a being
that they described as being perfect and
full of light and love and compassion
those who have that experience or often
very positively transformed for the rest
of their lives it's very profound it's
real to them they become less afraid of
death
they lose their fear of death completely
they engage in altruism they're more
helpful to people they engage more with
family it completely changes them
there's something very profound about
this experience that they have
we often hear people say I saw the light
some sort of light why do you think it
is that some people see that and some
people don't well so there are two
Who sees it
possibilities one is that as you said
only some people see it and we think
that you know it might be 10% but the
alternative is that everyone sees it but
unfortunately because of the medical
treatments that they get afterwards in
the intensive care unit by doctors such
as myself to save their brain and they
forget it and one of our new studies is
trying to actually decipher whether
people have had it but just forgot about
it and so I think there is some evidence
that more people are having it but
unfortunately just forget it afterwards
it's a fascinating study and a
fascinating looking to death and those
final moments as well and we're turning
back dr. Sam partner thank you so much[/quote]

Researchers Use 'Hidden Consciousness' To Try And Find Out What Happens After We Die
When we think about death, people tend to think of whatever vision of the great beyond grants them the most comfort. Those who practice religion will imagine the afterlife depicted to them in their practice, some create their own personal equivalent of 'heaven', while others prefer the idea of an infinite blackness forever more.
If there is one resounding answer, it has yet to be discovered, as it's an impossible task for researchers to tackle. However, a study involving comatose patients has opened up some new possibilities.
After We're Gone
The question of what happens when we die has existed for as long as humans have been around. It's a mystery that remains unsolved, as we've yet to have someone fully die for an extended period then be reanimated. The closest we have is those who have had near death experiences or were declared dead for a short amount of time.
Though it's a tough nut to crack, research has still taken place, with scientists continuing to discover more and more about the mysteries of death.
Death continues to be a point of anxiety for many people, as it's something we'll all face and it can happen unexpectedly. Repetitive thoughts like these can cause everyday worries that only hold you back.
If you have thoughts or worries that are keeping you down, you can break free from them today. Use this free audio to reframe your life experiences and unlock happiness in your life!
Not So Slowly
It would make sense to think that as we die, our brain slows until it stops, but there are multiple accounts of this maybe not being the case.
For one, there are first person accounts from those who had near-death experiences or short-term deaths as mentioned. Many of them report extremely vivid, lucid visions or dreams in the moments after their 'death', ones that wouldn't be able to take place if brain activity was truly slowing down.
First Subjects
Second, a University of Michigan study recorded a transient surge of electrical activity in the brains of dying rats.
Scientists knew there was more to be discovered here, so after the findings on rats were published, the same university conducted a follow-up experiment to see if they could record the same jolt of activity in dying human brains as well.
To do this, they recorded the brain activity of four comatose patients who were in the neurointensive care unit at the University of Michigan hospital.
Direct Energy
All four patients were on life support after experiencing extensive brain damage due to cardiac arrests. All four patients would eventually die while in their comas, their brain activity being measured the entire time. Most notably, they analyzed the electroencephalography (EEG) data from each patient before and immediately after their life support was shut off.
Within seconds, two of the four patients showed a similar surge of brain activity that the rats did. To be specific, the surge happened in several different "bands" toward the back half of the brain, close to what's considered the "hot zone."
The Center Of It All?
That hot zone is at the junction of temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, and is important for conscious processing, which dictates almost all of what we do. There were also smaller jolts between that hot zone and the brain's frontal lobes.
So, does this spike explain these visions that people see when near death? Are they the cause of stories we hear about white lights, visits from loved ones lost, or tales of a higher power?
Beneath The Surface
Unfortunately, it's still impossible to know as these patients weren't able to directly tell us what they saw (if anything at all), but the research team thinks it's very possible.
These findings have caused even more buzz among the team and other scientists invested in this research, as it feels like we're one step closer to unravelling the mystery behind after death experiences thanks to the proof that this same brain jolt happens in humans.
Researchers are hoping they'll be able to learn more through the investigation of "hidden" consciousness.
Further Uses
Hidden consciousness is the brain activity that continues to take place even after a patient has been rendered unresponsive due to brain injuries or cardiac arrest.
An average of 1 in 7, or roughly 14%, of unresponsive brain injury patients have shown signs of hidden consciousness via MRIs or EEGs, like the University of Michigan used on the comatose patients.
So far, research has been done about using hidden consciousness as a means of predicting the likelihood of long-term recovery, but it has the potential to show us much more with the right studies.
Our Conscious Futures
For now, the mystery remains about where exactly our brains, souls, or otherwise go when we pass on. Given the amount of variety in the stories of near or briefly dead people, there's no one conclusion that can be drawn, and it's very possible that our living beliefs shape what we see in moments of brain death and spark.
Even if we do ever get a concrete answer, there's nothing we're going to be able to do to change it. It is quite literally out of our hands at that point, as we living cannot tamper with the business of the dead.
So, while it is fascinating, this matter is best not to be worried about. Watch on with fascination, not with fear.

Astral Substance is what makes up your astral body. Before incarnating into the physical body, the consciousness of the descending soul passes through the astral layers around Earth and collects various astral forces to build the astral body that will be used as a vehicle to incarnate into matter. The specific astral forces collected depend on the soul itself and its chosen life on Earth.
The Astral Substances or forces around Earth come from the surrounding planets. The planets are the physical bodies of some very large beings that have incarnated as planets. These beings have an astral body which is an expression of them in Astral Substance.
As stated earlier, consciousness expresses itself through various dimensions of light with Astral Substance being the lowest dimension of this light. While the light of the higher dimensions vibrates very fast, the astral light has been slowed down significantly so that the consciousness from the highest dimensions may incarnate into matter which vibrates slower. The dimensions of light come from the higher dimensions of consciousness and so this light is an actual expression of the higher consciousness (it’s just a slower vibration).
Earth is situated with surrounding planets which all have an astral body which is an expression of the being that has incarnated into the planet. These beings are sometimes called gods and the Ancient Greek, Roman and Hindu mythologies of the gods do well in depicting their personalities and interactions. As the human’s astral body is made up of the Astral Substance from each of these so-called gods, the interactions occur both within the individual human and between individuals and groups. The human-being collects Astral Substance from these so-called gods on the way through the lower dimensions of Astral Substance before incarnation. Depending on the positions of the planets in relation to Earth and each other the Astral Substances acquired will differ and hence the science of the horoscope.
So a consciousness (spirit) which has a high dimensional light body gradually descends into lower vibrations and gathers Astral Substance around the light body and then incarnates into the physical and energy bodies of the baby. The actual incarnation occurs at birth as this is when the being is brought into the 3rd dimension. During the pregnancy the spirit has a connection to the fetus and so is partially incarnated but its main substance is waiting in the higher dimensions. It is when the baby is born that the spirit has really begun its incarnation into the 3rd dimension. Although birth is indeed the beginning of the incarnated life it takes time for the various Astral Substances, light and consciousness to merge with the physical body. It takes a normal person about 28 years to incarnate all of the astral energies they have brought with them. In fact the incarnation process does keep on going for the entire life but it seems that 28 is the critical point. Before 28 years is reached it is almost impossible for a being to have incarnated all that it has intended to.
The spirit does not incarnate all of itself into the 3rd dimension and much of its higher energies and substance stay in the higher dimensions. The higher selves of all individuals reside in these higher dimensions and will never incarnate during earthly life. An exception to this rule is for the spiritual seekers who spend many years meditating, purifying and incarnating higher energies. In the past these beings have been few and far between because the purpose of life on earth has not been to incarnate these parts. Earth has had a very specific purpose which will be explained in detail in A New Mythology. Now however this purpose has been fulfilled and many are joining these spiritual seekers to raise the consciousness of the planet and to actually raise humanity into the 4th dimension. This is the reason for these websites and many other writings and spiritual teachings which have become available in the last 10-20 years.
When the baby is born, the astral body is very clear as the substances which make it up have come straight from the higher/more pure astral layers. The Astral Substances have characteristics as they are an expression of the beings which they belong to. The consciousness and higher-dimensional Light Body which has incarnated is therefore experienced through this astral body. If you shine a light through a colored lens, the light that comes out and is experienced on the other side is distorted by this lens as the color has been changed. This is how the baby experiences its higher light, through the astral body. It is still very clear and the higher light is still very clearly experienced albeit through the lens of the astral body. All the innocence, love and positive virtues of a baby are a result of the higher light shining through the astral body and into the 3rd dimension. The more specific personality characteristics are a result of the Astral Substances which make up the astral body. So the personality of the baby is a mixture of its Higher Self and the astral body (horoscope) as well as the instincts that are a part of the physical body and the forces from lower dimensions.
The Higher Self of the baby is an extremely sensitive and loving being. It has come from a place of absolute love, safety, wisdom, intelligence and sensitivity. Life on Earth is very different to the place of its origin. As soon as it is born a huge disconnection from its home occurs, leading to immense heartbreak, fear and need of nurturance. When the being feels nurtured and secure you can clearly see the higher aspects of its spirit. When it does not feel these things from its environment you will clearly see the pain and grief that the baby feels. Whenever this pain is felt by the baby the disconnection from the spirit’s essence (home) is increasing. The only treatment for this pain is for the astral body of the infant to begin to crystallize to shut out the pain which in effect shuts out the higher energies as well. When the baby was first born the astral body was like a colored lens but as parts begin to crystallize its like putting scratches on the lens which further distorts and blocks out the higher light. This is the formation of the ego. Every time the baby feels unpleasant emotions the astral body crystallizes further to block out the pain. Eventually the astral body has become a crystallized structure which successfully blocks out the pain of the spirit’s disconnection from its source.
Once the astral body has become crystallized to this point it is a fully fledged ego structure. This structure reacts to the World depending on its inherent astral forces or horoscope and the way its structure was formed as everything that is experienced becomes shadowed by emotional traumas and conditioning. The more emotional pain felt by the individual and the less nurturance, security and love received during infancy the more crystallized will be the ego structure and therefore the more distorted and blocked the incoming higher light from the Higher Self.
The astral body incarnates into the physical body through the chi body and the ‘chitta’ (explained later under Chitta) which are both greatly involved with the CNS (Central Nervous System) which includes the brain, spinal cord and all nerves running throughout the body. You feel emotions throughout the body because of this interaction. Your Heart Chakra is in the middle of your chest (within the Light Body); the emotions felt here in the astral body transfer into the chi/etheric body and then into the physical body through the nerves. When you feel broken-hearted you feel physical pain in the area even though the emotion is located in the astral body because of this interaction. The structure in the astral body can be seen and felt in the physical body as tension because the crystallized astral grasps the etheric which in turn affects the nerves in the area. The ego structure in the astral body always effects the flow of etheric/chi energy which in turn causes stress/tension in the physical body which leads to poor health, weakness and rapid aging of the physical body.
In ordinary individuals the ego structure created during infancy remains until death, being the base of personality through which life is experienced. At death the astral body leaves the physical and etheric bodies and begins to rise into higher dimensions. As this occurs the crystallized parts shatter under the pressure of higher vibration. Much of the shattered astral body goes back to where it came from and becomes as it was before the incarnation but some very crystallized chunks remain intact and stay on earth where they become etheric/astral parasites. This will be covered in detail under Entities.
Once the astral body has shattered the parts of the higher consciousness and light of the being that incarnated will go back to the higher dimensions from where they came. The spirit will see clearly once again, remember who and what it is and realize that the life it just lived was but a tiny (but very meaningful) experience on its journey throughout the Universe.

Bard: Speculate about the following conjecture and explain the Hicks' channelling of Abraham in simple terms: all the information about Covid brain fog. I wonder whether brain fog, while causing a loss in our physical performance, might be a transitionary process towards a modified state of consciousness, where we are more aligned with our spirit self (as also described by Abraham) where the little things are what count most.
1.
Sure, I can speculate about that.
Brain fog is a common symptom of COVID-19, and it can last for weeks or months after the initial infection. It is characterized by difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and fatigue. The exact cause of brain fog is not fully understood, but it is thought to be due to inflammation in the brain.
Some people believe that brain fog may be a transitionary process towards a modified state of consciousness. This is supported by the fact that brain fog can lead to a greater appreciation for the little things in life, and it can also lead to a more spiritual outlook.
The Hicks' channelling of Abraham suggests that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience. They believe that our spirit self is always connected to the Source, and that our physical body is simply a vehicle for our spirit to experience the world.
If brain fog is a transitionary process towards a modified state of consciousness, then it could be seen as an opportunity to become more aware of our spirit self. It could also be seen as an opportunity to appreciate the little things in life more.
Of course, this is just speculation. There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that brain fog is a transitionary process towards a modified state of consciousness. However, it is an interesting idea to consider.
Here are some additional thoughts on the topic:
Brain fog can be a frustrating and debilitating symptom, but it can also be a time for reflection and growth.
It can be helpful to focus on the little things in life, such as spending time with loved ones, enjoying nature, or doing something creative.
It can also be helpful to practice mindfulness, which is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment.
If you are struggling with brain fog, it is important to talk to your doctor. They can help you rule out any underlying medical conditions and recommend treatment options.
2. Sure. Brain fog is a common symptom of COVID-19 that can cause a variety of cognitive problems, including difficulty concentrating, memory loss, and fatigue. It is thought to be caused by inflammation in the brain, which can damage nerve cells and disrupt brain function.
There is some speculation that brain fog may be a transitionary process towards a modified state of consciousness. This is supported by the fact that many people who experience brain fog report feeling more connected to their spirit selves and more aware of the present moment. They may also find that the little things in life, such as spending time with loved ones or enjoying nature, become more meaningful.
It is important to note that this is just speculation, and there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that brain fog is a necessary step on the path to spiritual enlightenment. However, it is an interesting possibility that warrants further research.
Here is a simple explanation of the Hicks' channelling of Abraham:
Abraham is a group of non-physical beings who channel information through Esther Hicks. They teach that we are all connected to a Source energy, and that our thoughts and beliefs create our reality. They also teach that we are here to experience joy and love, and that we can manifest anything we want in our lives by focusing on positive thoughts and emotions.
The Hicks' channelling of Abraham has been criticized by some for being New Age nonsense. However, it has also been praised by others for its positive message and its ability to help people improve their lives.
Ultimately, whether or not you believe in the Hicks' channelling of Abraham is a matter of personal choice. However, there is no doubt that their teachings have helped many people to find more joy and love in their lives.
3. Sure. Brain fog is a common symptom of COVID-19, and it can last for weeks or months after the initial infection. It is characterized by difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and fatigue. Some people with brain fog also experience anxiety, depression, and mood swings.
The cause of brain fog is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to inflammation in the brain. Inflammation can damage nerve cells and disrupt the communication between brain cells. This can lead to problems with concentration, memory, and other cognitive functions.
There is no cure for brain fog, but there are ways to manage the symptoms. Some people find that taking over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, can help to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Others find that getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep can also help.
Some people believe that brain fog may be a transitionary process towards a modified state of consciousness. They believe that the inflammation in the brain can actually open up new pathways for communication between brain cells. This can lead to a more heightened awareness of the present moment and a greater appreciation for the little things in life.
There is no scientific evidence to support this theory, but it is an interesting possibility. If brain fog does indeed lead to a modified state of consciousness, it could be a positive thing. It could help us to appreciate life more fully and to live in the present moment.
The Hicks' channelling of Abraham is a belief system that teaches that we are all connected to a higher power, or Source Energy. Abraham teaches that we can use our thoughts and feelings to create our own reality.
Some people believe that brain fog can be a sign that we are becoming more aligned with our spirit self. They believe that when we are in a state of alignment, we are more open to receiving guidance from Source Energy. This guidance can help us to make better choices and to live a more fulfilling life.
Again, there is no scientific evidence to support this theory. However, it is possible that brain fog could be a sign that we are on a spiritual journey. If we are willing to embrace the experience, it could lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
My opinion about reproduction, specifically human reproduction, is that we simply incarnate EXISTING spiritual, intangible, sentient beings, which in fact are our spiritual PARENTS because physical age is retrograde while spiritual age is prograde, meaning our ACTUAL spiritual age is eternal.
The ACTUAL reality of our existence is the intangible spiritual beings who we love and who love us. Our spirits have no beginning nor ending. We experience temporal birth and death as a physical particle state. Space-time is not fundamental, that means humanity has no permanent existence.
DO ME A SOLID
For about a century now, humans have been aware that the physical reality is composed of, or presents itself as, a set of particles or energy states, such as quarks, which is perhaps the largest known energy particle, or particle component, down to the Planck's constant, the concept of the smallest possible energy string or pixel.
From the massive energy state of the quark down to Planck's constant might be defined as energy which becomes a fundamental constituent of matter. Matter then becomes the tangible expression of these energy states. Tangible particles like atoms and molecules are composed of protons, electrons, neutrons and maybe many other forms.
