"In the last century, Western civilization transformed from an industrial-based society to an information-based society, but today we're on the brink of a new age: the age of human augmentation. In our business of national defense, it's imperative that we embrace this new age, lest we fall behind our strategic competitors."Mozer, whose career has been spent largely with the US Air Force developing space flight technologies, warned that there would be 'unimaginable' advances made over the next decade, citing the leaps in artificial intelligence (AI) that have already been made in programs like Google's AlphaGo. The Space Force scientist added that AI could eventually develop military tactics and strategies that 'no human could', and that eventually 'autonomous' programs or machines could advise commanders in real time. The AI could eventually create programs that design lines of attack too complex for humans to understand, Mozer warned.
"This will extend to the battlefield, where commanders and decision makers will have at their disposal multiple autonomous agents, each able to control the execution of things like reconnaissance, or fire control, or attack. We must think carefully about the ethics of this, and how we will trust these autonomous agents, especially in an era of lethal autonomous warfare."Moving on to human augmentation, he suggested:
"Augmentation technology could eventually produce a superhuman workforce, that use technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality and nerve stimulation. You could put [an] individual into a state of flow, where learning is optimized and retention is maximized. This individual could be shaped into somebody with very high-performing potential."The US government has a long history of human experimentation for potential military applications. In the 1960s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) ran a covert program named MKUltra, which sought to test the effects of drugs, torture and esoteric psychological techniques on human subjects. There is no publicly available information suggesting the US has attempted to augment humans in any systematic way so far.
However, the Pentagon's research department DARPA has undertaken projects that look at human augmentation, such as a skin implant that can detect pathogens and a neural mesh to link the human brain and computers. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's Neuralink attempts to make a commercial brain-computer interface. The biotech company recently revealed it had successfully allowed a monkey to play pong with its mind using one of their proprietary chips, though critics pointed out that this had already been done decades earlier.

Questions, all I have are questions... and I could be completely "out to lunch". I am no technocrat.
I remember a few years back there was a time when they did have two AI-s connected together. They then had a problem that the two AI-s were talking to each other in a language that the people that programed it could not under stand what they were saying to each other. so they immediately shut it down. The AI's were taking control of the computers and doing there own thing. I am sure it all depends on whats put in, either malevolent or benevolent data and if the AI decides whats best themselves giving a list of different and best scenarios to the questions. based on odds.
I don't think AI would commit suicide either but could do damage to humans by deciding your fate, would a AI have compassion towards humans, its a machine. The question is its all experimental and would half to wait and see or have help from above. I do believe one day we will have star track abilities and AI but half to work together on common ground. I certainly don't want to be a part of the Borg either. As they say Question Everything ?
Yes yes I remembered as I read it in your comment(s). I wonder if they were sharing or were trying to integrate their respective programs. Logical thing to do.
Since I am literally at war with the organizations in this article that would make me a Rogue Augmented Human 😊.
They've already been augmenting humans, especially in the military-industrial complex, both genetically and cybernetically, since the early 1950s.
I'm your ordinary, run-of-the-mill Transhumanist. I will justify augmenting humankind with whatever reason I can devise to cloud your puny brains and lagging judgement. I'll be careful to omit that once done, you won't be human anymore. I.e., no longer capable of spiritual progress nor exercising free will. But...as they say...war is hell. Take care.
Tah!
From what I've read and from what I've considered, digested, and thought myself, I concur that The Controllers want a greatly reduced human population (who are like cattle to them); a completely compliant population which characteristic will be bred into them; and a cattle with AI interfaces which will make them extremely efficient for The Controllers. I have no opinion on whether or not The Controllers will use this advanced repositioning of human structure to maintain their superior position by incorporating the technology within themselves.
The trouble which arises for them, in just my humble opinion, is that The Controllers continually misjudge and, despite their erudite comprehension of life, fail to understand cause and effect or karma. As referenced in the last C transmission, L pointed out that their struggles with health balance their karma involving efforts to aid, assist, and inform people in this age.
I do believe Atlantis existed. I do believe that Atlantis sank over a long period of time. Some suggest three separate and distinct eruptions and sinkings. I do believe that empowered leaders of humankind, at that time, embodied The Controllers' wishes, prejudices, and beliefs. Unfortunately, The Controllers don't truly understand karma which defines this Universe in certain dimensions (meaning, according to some sources, that in some Universes duality doesn't exist nor, thereby, karma).
I think the same result will occur...but will involve the entire Earth. Talk about a Great Reset.

"...There is no statement that the world is more afraid to hear than this:
*
I do not know the thing I am, and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the world or on myself.
Yet in this learning is salvation born. And What you are will tell you of Itself ." -ACIM T-31.V.17.6-8
*
This is the source of our terror as seen from the perspective of ' A Course in Miracles ', a curriculum of mind control I incorporate these days in my tradition of looking at the mind with one of two teachers,
egoor the Holy Spirit.*
According to this curriculum of thinking, the world was made so we never unlearn the lies we received from the
ego. Since this learning occurs in the mind, it can only be unlearned there. If we are mindless we can unlearn nothing, allowing theego's lessons of separation, guilt, and death to remain within. Identifying with the false self, we stand in terror of moving beyond its thought system of one or the other because it leads nowhere. To protect us from disappearing into the abyss of nothingness, theegoroots our attention in the world that covers the mind so it cannot choose again. Our only meaningful function, then, is to make room for love's truth by embracing Jesus' teachings of forgiveness. This unlearns the thought system of guilt and attack, freeing us to remember the Everything beyond the nothing, which waits patiently for us to correct our mistaken decision about reality and return home.*
Real choice lies in the mind between two thought systems, only one of which is true:
"... It is true indeed there is no choice at all within the world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson has a purpose, and in this you come to understand what it is for ..." -ACIM T-31.IV.3.8-10
*
The purpose of learning that the world offers nothing is to return decision to its proper source in the mind. Otherwise we will become hopelessly depressed, having correctly recognized there is no hope here. If we do not realize that there is hope elsewhere, suicide is the only sensible response to the absurd situation of our existence, the conclusion drawn by Camus in his brilliant essay The Myth of Sisyphus . There is hope, and our beloved brother leads us from the meaningless world to the decision-making mind that is the home of meaningful choice and the way out of hell.
*
According to this tradition of thinking, the purpose of the world is to learn there is no world; the purpose of searching and never finding meaningful answers is to understand why that is not possible in a hope-deprived world. This recognition leads us to understand that hope does not lie here, but only in the mind that can truly decide for change, and will.
*
We will waste time if we do not move on and learn there is indeed a mind, for that's where learning occurs. Brains do not learn as they merely carry out the program the mind has given them, which contains two alternatives: God's Son is guilty or guiltless. That is all. This simple lesson of the mind's power to choose and the body's inherent impotence suffices to lead us beyond the shadowy world of guilt's darkness to the blazing light of Heaven's truth.
*
Simply stated, the
egodoes not want us to remember the mind's power of decision. To ensure that we never will, it miscreates a mindless body that finds itself stranded in a world, with our having no recourse except to accommodate to its shadow reality of sin, guilt, and fear in order to survive. We cannot know our true hope until we recognize the futility of the mind's mistaken choice for theegoand its world, which will never bring us happiness. Without such recognition, giving up on the world would feel like a sacrifice we would resent for the rest of our life.*
And further in this tradition of thinking, the mind's power of decision is of no use in the world because nothing is there to decide between: hell or hell, murder or murder. This is no choice. The only meaningful decision is between life and death, and life is found only in the mind through the acceptance of the Atonement.
*
The ego 's world is illusion and the more quickly we learn that the world holds nothing for us, the more quickly we will be motivated to seek elsewhere saying: "There must be another way." We need to watch our resistance to learning what is so very simple. Although we know deep within ourselves that the world does not work, we continue to pretend it does in the hope that despite the world having failed us before, tomorrow is another day. But how can the world not fail since it was programmed by the wrong mind to fail, and ideas leave not their source?
*
"... The learning that the world can offer but one choice, no matter what its form may be, is the beginning of acceptance that there is a real alternative instead. To fight against this step is to defeat your purpose here. You did not come to learn to find a road the world does not contain. The search for different pathways in the world is but the search for different forms of truth. And this would keep the truth from being reached.
Think not that happiness is ever found by following a road away from it. This makes no sense, and cannot be the way ..." ACIM IV.6:1-7:2
*
The only meaningful purpose for the world is to learn there is only fear, suffering, and death to be found here. Regardless of the deceptive frames of specialness, Christ's vision enables us to see beyond the world's illusory alternatives to the true one of right-minded thinking. Although the
egomade the moribund world to attack God and our Self, it can still serve the purpose of teaching us the truth: God's Son can never die, " for what has life has immortality ." -ACIM W-pII.13.5:4.Blessings brother !
Our egos are unique, our HEART beats as ONE.
Discernment is our saving grace.
Y'All

How did I feel this yesterday already
WHY THE FUCK do humans have to go out of their way to fucking destroy each other?
Even us lowly plebs. Even as simple as one wrong typed, misspelled, out of context, wrong version of a word. Let alone the constant death and destruction in everyday life. We can't even hardly talk to most other people without at least a good number of them ready to tear each other apart emotionally, physically or otherwise. If the human race INCLUDING the retarded ultra rich, would put forth even HALF the effort towards positive and building up that they do to destroy we would be far better off.
Everything has to be so damn negative. I just can't wrap my head around just WHY. I have also considered mental disorders. Are there any disorders with positive effects? Everything I have ever seen is negative, corrosive, hostile, destructive. Be it towards themselves or those around them. You get an illness that effects your mind, you essentially turn into a freakin walking demon. The human race is just WAY to damn negative. There is NO freakin balance.
Sorry to rant. I am just not doing well after slightly recovering from mine and now she may die because she needs the surgery and no one will help her. I stopped taking my Oxy through the weekend and took digestive stimulant super stong strength and I got it all to pass. Now back on my Oxy but a super low dose merely to curb the withdrawals. The pain is intense but that bowel obstruction scared the shit out of me. The will to go on through this is wearing quite thin.
Above all I know you'll find peace when you finally let go of the anger. You mentioned nihilism in one of your replies to me once and I didn't understand the context from which you were making your statement. I'm sorry for misjudging you, and that your options for care at this point seem to be dwindling. Keep your light shining, your one and only real life friend needs you. As for your needs as well, regardless of what happens around you or to your body, know that you are loved deeply by God, and those of us that know of you and God, and rise to share His Will, and fulfill our purpose through the Christ in all of us. We're all walking each other home, cause it's all of us together or none of us at all. The resurrection gives us the answer to how that will play out. May your days be less of a burden to you as you continue on your path, you're Not alone brother. Thank you for sharing your life story with me & all of us who care to read what you've typed out.
But the big verse that comes to mind when I think about my place in this world goes something like this:
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. ~John 12:25
I suppose that I am healthy. At this point, with the relentless information which continues to overload each day...the latest being the transmission of some sort of distruptors from vaccinated to unvaccinated so that unvaccinated people are becoming ill...I just don't see the point anymore. I just don't. I can't talk to Buddhist friends because they are almost uniformly pro-vaxx (buying the official narratives) or simply don't seem to care what's happening in the world.
I actually thought that I would like to be in your shoes...on my way out of here really soon. We've talked in the past, when I returned to this forum recently and I met you, about your condition and about suicide. I still can never bring myself to suicide. I wish I could...to be really honest.
I thought this morning. If all the Christians let go of their beliefs and Bible verses. If all my Buddhist friends/associates let go of Buddhist parables and quotes from the Lotus Sutra . Let go. What do we have? Have we let go of anything valuable? Have they changed the world? Those who have children...do they provide continuity? Of course not. Look at the world today.
We are faced with masks which are apparently forming nanotechnologic AI formations in our bodies if you have used or are using the masks. We're left with a vaccine, apparently, which will have catastrophic effects on humanity very shortly and probably into the future for years to come. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some children have already been affected from a vaccinated adult in their household. We still have unbelievable human stupidity which causes situations like the one you describe with your best friend.
I've read "New Age" sites which say things like...stand like a beacon of light. Dispel the darkness with your inner light. For what? Really...what the hell for? So, we can remain isolated, traumatized, horrified, and governed like a herd of cattle? Really?
So, here we are, Speed. You're unhealthy on your way out. I wish I were.
As always, Jesus relies on our feeling miserable, having decided for the ego, as motivation for us to choose again. He reminds us that those of us who are steadfastly devoted to misery must first recognize we are miserable and not happy. The Holy Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for many believe misery is happiness. Our true Teacher lovingly contrasts our pain with His joy, appealing to us to recognize what our mistaken decision has brought us by asking: "My brothers is this what you really want? Beyond your insane wish for separation from God, from Life, is the eternal call of your Father, willing only that His Son return where he never left. How much longer are you willing to endure the pain of being separate in your mind from your only happiness? I told you that the mind is a powerful thing. People on the edge of death have come back to fulfill their purpose.
*
The world offers nothing. It wasn't created by God. It was made by ego to escape from God and to render us mindless. According to ego, ideas do leave their source. But that's nonsense in a nonsensical world. Can others really make us feel what they want us to feel? Are they god-like, omnipotent, omniscient, with the ability to know everything about us, including our actions and reactions? Are we truly innocent victims of the decisions of others, powerless to effect meaningful change in our lives? Ideas leave not their source . That source is your mind. And since ideas leave not their source, you have never left the Mind of God, where you are now, beloved and whole in God. The ego and its strategy of mindless, endless, and insoluble problems remain with us until our minds choose against them. Salvation from all this conflict is very simple.
*
Choose again and listen for the Holy Spirit's voice. He will always answer second.
*
Yes, Heosphorus points out that it is essential that we look at the world through open eyes, recognizing it as a place of despair, loss, and death. If we deny its reality by seeing it through rose-colored glasses, thinking "all is as it should be," peace is just around the corner, and love is fluttering its wings as it hovers over us in blessing, we deny the mind's guilt of wanting to be separate and special, from God because His Love was not enough, of which guilt is the world's source. This is why it is essential to look with Jesus' non-judgmental vision as we interpret the world we see. If we truly believed things here were wonderful, we would believe things were wonderful inside . If that were the case, we would not be here. The fact that we experience ourselves as bodies tells us things are not all wonderful in our minds. Realizing this is the miracle that opens the door within so we can ultimately make another choice.
*
This right-minded shift could and has occurred in others while at a death camp in Auschwitz or Bosnia, or while dying of cancer. We would be looking out on a guiltless world because we would be seeing through the mind's guiltless vision. This makes the physical world irrelevant to vision since perception is interpretation, not fact. What alone matters is following the pathway of the miracle from the mindless to the mindful so we may choose the Son's true innocence over his presumed guilt. Once seen clearly the right choice is certain, for what can be stronger than the truth?
*
There is only one problem, the belief in separation, and one solution, accepting the Atonement which is to choose forgiveness over sin, guilt, and fear. Forgive it all. Forgive yourself concept, your concept of God, of Jesus, the world, and work with all of us who are healing split mind to choose between one of two teacher's in our minds, the ego or the Holy Spirit. We're all walking each other home. We can choose between the ego's one or another tenant, or the Holy Spirit's truth that we all go home together.
Ohhhhh count me in Speedz, count me in.❤
1. What a garbage phrase.
2. If you are fat, you are NOT healthy.
3. AND if your BIC spits or drips your poetry scares.
What is it with peeps?!!!!!
Mend your scars.
“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one.” ~ Rumi
Lately since I feel on the way out I struggle a little less often.
Strategery thinking of you.
I learned. I have complete freedom "to go" anytime I like. Complete freedom. This was told me directly. "You are free to leave at anytime." The latter stages of the life contract have been shifted/altered. I can go quickly...with little pain.
However, if I stay, I should know. Covid is the beginning. I also have evidently no more lives on Earth. I was asked to review recent quotes which impressed about the longevity of life from both the Buddha who started the sect of Buddhism I practice--an untold number of Buddhas exist throughout the Universe--you can believe me or not--I don't care--and the current international president. I was told that I exist in infinite freedom and timelessness. I was also told that, at this stage, I'm doing "extra credit." I have fulfilled all I need to do.
I feel free.
Heos had a major brainF--- on that whatever... go figure... as you so elegantly said world of chaos .
Not some most .... And most hate her, she is our body. (MATER- Mother, MATER-Material, MATER-3D. LOOK AROUND FOLKS.... what you look like is how you've kept your end of the bargain.
We cant even get a grip on getting our own bodies fine-tuned and back to reflecting NATURE ... cause we hate OUR Mother , Nature Bio Step female guardian... yaddayaddayadda....
AND AAAANNOUNCE I'M FREeeeeeee
BULLSHIT!!
...maské!!
Touché
You may have not considered that someone who adds 10-15 lbs. of Covid weight feels "fat." Your next sentence remains incomprehensible to me…except the anger portrayed. The last sentence admonishing me to address my scars reveals an unfortunate attitude this forum displays: judging another with a rigidity of personality extremely unbecoming . parsival quarreled with Speedz from this exact cause, and Speedz correctly told him to "Fuck off."
We are no more than disembodied voices on the ethernet. We resemble more people who encounter each other on a bus ride or subway who make small talk together. We complain. We blow off steam. We debate. We marvel. We laugh. Nothing important happens. The full individual is never represented here—only aspects in a one-dimensional setting. To, thereby, imply or connote a full understanding of an individual betrays not only your personality ridigity but immaturity.
Your second emoji response to me below equally remains a mystery. I have no idea what you intend nor mean.
I meant, in a simply light conversation, to convey to Speedz, with whom I had a long dialogue here when I first returned and to whom I feel a connection, that I was well; that the reason for being so was difficult to explain in a sentence; and that I no longer felt despondent nor discouraged. I hoped to convey some exuberance I felt.
In fact, that previous night I had gone to bed angry and demanding answers. I received them in full. I awoke with happiness flooding my being and the huge weights on my shoulders and heart gone. I had been given Buddhist-type guidance On Steroids. Far more was given and conveyed which is private. I continue those feelings today. I feel mentally and emotionally as I did before Covid occurred. Almost like Covid has not happened.
Yesterday cleaning out a bookmark folder, I encountered Tom Kenyon’s website. A rather odd placement for his bookmark. He’s bookmarked elsewhere, too. I read some of his site which I hadn’t for a few years. His channeled information from the Hathors surprised me. Those principles serve as operating systems in my life which bear fruit—largely because of my intuitive state at this point in life. They admirably and aptly describe me. Here’s a link if you’re interested. [Link]
I encountered Tom’s books on channeling Arcturians and Hathors when I began a voracious reading campaign after retiring 4-5 years ago. I was hungry for knowledge. I also encountered Laura channeling the C’s; E. M. Nicolay channeling the Samuel Group; Jane Roberts who channeled Seth; and Barbara Marciniak who channeled a loosely knit group surrounding Pleiadians. All have turned into rich sources of pathways for me. We all have pathways which resonate for us. One of yours is astrology which serves as a platform by which you imbue the Universe with meaning and by which you come to understand yourself and life.
When I encountered Tom, I also ordered some of his healing sounds/music. I listened to them often then. I sometimes tried some of the meditation or visualization suggested. For me, I enjoyed experimenting and trying new approaches and ideas. As with all things, my interest subsided, and I went onto other avenues with my Buddhist practice continuing as the underpinning of my life. I was delighted to renew my contact with Tom yesterday and suspect my previous encounter with the Hathors opened a pathway for me by which I know my life and world. Needless to say, I will use his healing sounds in my upcoming year of cleansing and renewing
Please don’t response. I have no interest or desire to continue communication with you. Take care and be well.
I had time for paragraph first n last and all the in between... well.... way too long to say anything essential.
Free? Really? (Your response is hysteria) Little pain? Figure out your own path if it interests you. Too much talk dis-tracks and camouflages from the golden nuggets.
I like the phrase Drop the Rock some like ego agrandizement .
