New section.

Section: The Fluidness Of Reality

I am going to briefly recap a fictional comic book storyline and how an aspect of it may manifest in physical reality. This story is called "The Last Viking". It was written and drawn by a man named Walter Simonson, who is a very gifted storyteller. This story was in the Thor comic book published by Marvel Comics. Comic book Thor and movie Thor are pretty much the same person, he is the immortal Norse god of thunder who exists in the modern age. Thor hears a "summoning", the words used for the summoning are ancient and should not exist in the modern age. Thor investigates and ends up flying all the way to the south pole. He finds a warm caldera filled with hot springs, plant life, and animal life; a type of oasis surrounded by the daunting ice and cold. He encounters an actual viking who challenges Thor to the death because he wants to enter Valhalla. Instead of fighting, Thor desires to hear the viking's tale. The heyday of the vikings was 800 to 1050 AD. Through numerous twists of fate, some vikings ended up in the south pole. They discovered the isolated caldera and decided to settle down and live there. Their community survived for many generations up to the modern age, completely isolated from the rest of the world. The last viking was a direct descendant of those vikings who discovered the caldera a thousand years ago. Now is it possible that because of this fictional story, explorers might actually discover viking artifacts in the south pole someday? Just a thought.

So a lie created for spiritual deception could actually come true. Many religions have end times prophecies. I'm curious to see how this all turns out.

Section: How To Improve Your Genetics And Your Physical Aesthetic Appearance And Reverse Aging

If your parents never told you that you are beautiful, realize that you are. Pursuing evil will catch up with you eventually, it will break the symmetry of your features and you will become physically ugly, I mean this literally. You do have free will; if you don't want to do these things, then don't.

1) Become vegan. I cannot stress this enough. If you are vegan, it means you don't wish to cause suffering or death on other conscious beings and this makes you worthy of immortality.
2) Stop being racist. Everyone is racist, even me. This is something we all need to work on.
3) Stop thinking you're better than others because you're not. The fact that you think you're better than others means you're not better than others.
4) Don't exploit people. Exploiting someone means you don't want to see them after you exploit them. Spiritually this means you want them to die rather than see them again.
5) Don't engage in institutionalized systems, commercialized businesses, or corporations that exploit people.
6) Don't abuse children; physically, mentally, verbally, spiritually, etc. Quit projecting your own pathetic inadequacies and fears upon them.
7) Be courteous and polite.
8) If your neighborhood has a recycling program, make a conscious effort to utilize it.
9) Properly dispose of your own garbage in public areas; in other words, don't litter. You have no idea how many times I've seen chicken bones on public transportation.
10) If someone is trying to get into traffic, let them in.
11) If you accidentally bump someone, acknowledge them and apologize.
12) If you are in a public area and you see a plastic bottle on the ground, pick it up and throw it away even if it isn't yours.
13) If you go to a sporting event, don't leave your garbage under the seating. Dispose of it properly.
14) If you are in a restaurant, minimize the work the staff has to do to clean up after you. If you spill something, wipe it up yourself.
15) If someone needs a little help, then help them. I saw a video that happened in Japan. A man was rushing through a busy public area and spilled massive amounts of objects. Everyone, and I mean everyone, around him stopped what they were doing and helped him pick everything up.
16) If you have a contract, keep up your end of the bargain.
17) Do not change the terms of a contract once agreed upon. Corporations change the terms of a contract all the time. They will suffer spiritual consequences, not you. If you haven't realized it by now, this will be a game of patience.
18) If you are in a foreign country, respect their customs and way of life.
19) These are all really nothing more than tiny little everyday gestures, but they do add up.
20) What do we do with all the animals we've domesticated and imprisoned? I don't know, but we do have to come up with something.

I can keep going, but I think you get the idea. If you are a good person, your physical aesthetic appearance will improve. Do I have scientific proof that doing these things will improve your genetics and your physical aesthetic appearance and reverse aging? No.

New section. In a previous section, I stated sleep paralysis was the result of eating meat and wherein we impose this state of fear that animals feel upon ourselves. I now believe I am mistaken. Here is a new theory.

Section: Theory On Sleep Paralysis... The Beginning Stages Of The Awakening Of Our Fundamental Awareness Located In The Very Center Of Our Brains? Is This The Mythical Third Eye Of Hinduism? Is It Even Possibly Nibanna?

Our awareness has a frame of reference, generally it is our eyes and our bodies. We view existence through the lenses of our physical eyes. However, this is not fundamental awareness. Our fundamental awareness is an infinitely small, quantum, zero dimensional, singular point located in the very center of our brains. When we are asleep and dreaming, we perceive reality through this infinitely small singular point. Dreaming is a quantum phenomenon, objects can appear and disappear just like that, you can be in a specific location and then be in another location without moving through dimensional space. Let's first define sleep paralysis. It appears to be a state of consciousness somewhere between being asleep and being awake. I believe the first time I experienced sleep paralysis was somewhere in my 30s. However, it appears we are evolving very quickly and it's possible you may even experience it in your 20s. My sleep paralysis now is different from the sleep paralysis I initially had in my 30s. While under sleep paralysis the frame of reference appears to be the very center of our brain because that's where our awareness is actually physically located relative to our bodies. I have done marijuana and psychedelics, while under the influence of consciousness altering drugs it feels like I am using the center of my brain as the frame of reference and not my physical eyes. When you take psychedelics, you can hallucinate; your perceptions can change, colors can change, objects can appear and disappear. This is quantum phenomenon. My observation is that while under the influence of psychedelics, dream phenomenon can manifest. Because our fundamental awareness is infinitely small, I would conclude when we are awake and interacting with physical reality we are in a type of realm that is inherently quantum in nature. Our physical reality is fundamentally a dream. We are dreaming our hunger, we are dreaming our thirst, we are dreaming growing old, we are dreaming the need to breathe. Fundamentally there is no difference between "being asleep and dreaming" and "being awake and engaging physical reality". Let's say you lie down on a comfortable couch and watch tv in your living room. If you are tired for whatever reason, it's very easy for you to fall asleep. You may experience sleep paralysis. You are aware of the images on the tv and the sounds it makes, you are aware of the couch, you are aware of the living room. But you are perceiving all of this with your consciousness, your awareness; you are not perceiving with your physical eyes or hearing with your physical ears. You may try to breathe and find that it is difficult. You try to wake yourself up, you may even trick yourself into thinking you have woken up but then you realize you actually haven't. This cycle can repeat numerous times and can be quite terrifying to the point where you don't even want to sleep. If you are a comic book fan, you may realize this aspect of dreams was depicted in the comic book series The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Since our fundamental awareness is infinitely small, it has no physical structure; therefore our fundamental awareness should have no need to actually breathe. But psychologically, while under sleep paralysis, we do feel the need to breathe. This is why we try to wake up when we are under sleep paralysis. These days my sleep paralysis is a bit different, I am more self-aware when it happens. I don't experience as much fear as I used to and I am aware that I am making observations. Classical magick or mysticism states this would be your astral form. I suspect the reason I've gotten this far whenever I experience sleep paralysis now is due to all the meditation I've done. I do consider myself a fairly advanced meditator. While under sleep paralysis, I've realized my physical arm can't move but I have been able to move my "astral" arm. I've even gone so far as to attempt to maintain this level of awareness and try to escape from my physical body, no luck yet. I've been self-aware enough to tell myself I don't need to breathe, but ultimately the fear gets to me and I try to wake up. This is definitely a distinct state of consciousness where we can be self-aware in my opinion, but it appears we must develop this state. Because we can see our physical surroundings to a certain degree with our consciousness while in sleep paralysis, this must be the third eye of hinduism. Developing this further could be nibanna, the state of pure enlightenment and being. I think one of the goals of meditation is to realize we are infinitely small singular points of awareness. To further evolve, we would have to use our awareness located in the center of our brains as the point of reference in relation to existence and not use our physical eyes as the reference point.

I have a YouTube channel recommendation.

https://www.youtube.com/@bookofwisdom3

This guy really knows his stuff. He is extremely knowledgeable in ancient esoterica. He understands how language and symbols shape our reality. This guy just might be "The Messiah".

It is very long, a book, in fact. I do not know who read all this. I just got through the first sections, and because I disagree with much of it, with my good reasons, I did not continue. What seems to matter in this is: who am I. The argument I might continue, and not perish, if I treat all others well is linked to all the others being me. Because I am God. The God there is has no limit and is eternal, being necessary existence that started the universe. The universe has a beginning, and is not unlimited. We being parts of the universe are not then God. We really have a beginning. If others continue when my physical presence ends, I am not immortal so as to continue because others do, that they do is not me continuing, and from what I experienced I cannot go on experiencing what they do. My only hope of continuing is through life God who is my maker gives me. God is to be recognized beyond me, God's power is not my power. God knows what is happening everywhere, I do not. God does even though we do not understand how. We are limited and can't understand it. Necessary Being is eternal and not limited at all, we can't understand that but with this limitlessness God knows about anything everywhere.

Hi FredVegrox. If I don't believe in this biblical God of yours or don't believe that my only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ, do you believe that I deserve to die? You can answer truthfully, it won't bother me.
