Advaita and Artificial Intelligence

Parabrahman is intelligence. Artificial intelligence is not intelligence. Artificial intelligence is big intellect at best and big mind most of the time. Further, artificial intelligence will never become conscious and self-aware. It may learn to think on its own, but thinking is a mind thing too.

Scientific materialism preaches consciousness is a product of the material world, but even artificial intelligence will never prove that illusion. The material world appears in consciousness. Deep sleep is proof enough of that. Nothing appears in unconsciousness.

In brief, artificial intelligence (AI) is not intelligence; AI is mind. AI may learn to think, but AI will never become self-aware. Even AI can’t prove consciousness is a product of the material world, for the world appears in consciousness. Deep sleep isn’t rocket science, people.

The Thing About the Waking Dream

The thing about the waking dream is it’s apparent continuity. Sleeping dreams come and go and seldom are remembered.

Memory is the key. Hard memory is where the waking dream is strung together, connected by rationalization.

There’s a presence in the waking dream upon which random access dreams are put together like a puzzle on a single surface, despite the fact they do not fit.

In sleep, it’s all names and forms. But awake, its names and forms are superimposed on being, awareness, holistic bliss infinity.

The mind may not have solved for its nondual substrate, but the substrate dissolves the dual mind, in whatever methods it must take.

Consciousness Pyrogenics

Sentience is like the wildfire consciousness lights in the body-mind. Without consciousness, the body-mind may be subtle but not sentient.

Like a paper boat drifting on the lake of brahman, sheer parchment doesn’t do the drenching but the water does. Like the clothes aren’t wearing atman, atman is wearing the clothes.

Such sentience fools one into thinking the body-mind is self-luminous. Although it's true one’s identity is self-luminous, only pure consciousness is truly self-luminous—identify with that.

Return to Isvara

Return to Isvara. Drop body-mind.

I am the universal I am. The universal I am is I, manifested.

Dominus vobiscum. Some say consciousness, some say spirit.

Dominus vobiscum. Some say universal consciousness, some say God.

No name for tao. All names for Isvara!

In the Name of Self-awareness

Great paradox! The causeless is the material and efficient cause of illusion.

Out of this maya appears Isvara, the god of universal consciousness.

And out of maya’s veil of avidya, individual consciousness is born.

Maya projects an all-powerful universe and veils it’s godlike omnipresence

behind a mistaken identity, ignorant, limited, and separate.

All in the name of self-awareness—awareness has no name.

Consciousness Lost

Universal consciousness is the necessary maya in self-awareness. Individual consciousness is optional ignorance.

The reflection of pure consciousness is universal consciousness. The reflection of universal consciousness is individual consciousness.

The reflection of the sleeping dream is deep sleep (absence of duality) and not to be mistaken for the presence of nonduality.

The Ignorance of Scientific Materialism

1.

The heart of scientific materialism is the concept of space-time.

Because beyond the big bang is nonconceptual, the empire hides it in a big black hole.

But this willful avidya requires consciousness to be a product of the material universe.

The empire is betting big on neuroscience.

2.

So much depends upon the reflection of awareness in the subtle body of evolutionary maya.

Look, another name for the big bang is the big reflection.

Materialists are currently investigating the subtle body as if it is the source of that reflection,

and not the conceptual substance within which parabrahman is reflecting.

Parsing Space, Maya, and Thyme

Time and space are the essential ingredients of maya.

Without space, emptiness wouldn’t fool anyone.

Without time, appearances would come and go in the blink of an eye—

leaving no impression of their 'form' to fool one into thinking this phenomenon is real.

Space supplies the form, and time supplies the name. Voila, namarupa!

Thus namarupa is the snake of maya, as satcitananda is the rope of reality.

The Sea of Nonduality Ah

1.

Awareness of being is ultimate self-awareness, where the unmanifest is witnessing the manifest. I am that I am.

Being the unknown is frightening when conceptualizing the unknown. It can’t be done without paradox. Or don’t think about it—be.

Some advaita vedanta is all about building a deeper nondual myth until one strikes reality. That’s not a bad way to go.

2.

In advaita myth, instead of gods, there's a subtle body and the reflection of pure consciousness.

And five sheaths, three states, antahkarana, ahamkara, and the mind's empire of ignorance.

Beneath this superimposition is being-existence-presence, consciousness-awareness-intelligence, holistic bliss infinity. Aham brahmasmi.

3.

The sky is like the blue reflection of awareness in five syllables. Awareness is that nonconceptual space of seven syllables. Skies appear in space.

The lake reflecting starry night infinite light like mescalito.

Parabrahman Aum. The Sea of Matsushima. Tattvamasi.

Close Encounters With the Satguru

The unmanifest is manifest. Awareness is self-aware. The awareness is real. The self-awareness is a process, neither real nor not real. That which is neither real nor not real is called illusion, dream, magical thinking.

Awareness is parabrahman. Self-awareness is saguna brahman where godlike Isvara is busy at the maya dream machine building self-reflexive universes.

And a person is this universe’s 7th stage. And the 7th substage of the 7th is contact by the satguru. For contact from the next stage is required for transcendence, like DNA for organic molecules.

Advantage Consciousness

One remains conscious when in the deep sleep no-thinking absence of duality state, but one cannot think without consciousness – advantage consciousness.

Reminding myself: deep sleep is the absence of duality; samadhi is the presence of nonduality.

Without the self-reflexive evolutionary universe of self-awareness, parabrahman isn’t self-aware. And absolute awareness is nothing but self-aware.

Dropping Namarupa

From I-am-this to I-am-that takes a paradox. From I-am-this to I-am takes personal deconstruction.

Personal deconstruction is not postmodern deconstruction. Postmodern deconstruction is a materialistic deconstruction. 

Personal deconstruction requires the dropping of the metaparadigm of materialism. That consciousness is appearing in the material world is the false materialistic metaparadigm.

That the world is appearing in consciousness is the nondual metaparadigm. I am (the reflection of pure consciousness) is the immaculate conception. All concepts grow from this universal one.

Not to name drop, but Zen Master Dogen is also saying, drop the metaparadigm of materialism, when he says, drop body-mind.

How to Deconstruct a Fish

Believing in nondoing is not nondoing. All belief is doing. Deconstructing belief is doing the work of nondoing. It’s the highest form of doing.

Telling prisoners the walls aren’t real doesn’t free them from their prison. High school physics taught them walls are made of atoms and atoms are 99% space. They believe that too.

If you give a person a fish, it’s food for thought. But if you teach a fish how to deconstruct its lake, the river will take it to the sea.

The Water of Light

As saguna brahman, Isvara wields the power of maya and creates the self-reflexive evolutionary universe of self-awareness appearing in reflections of pure consciousness like a dream.

Sometimes parts of Isvara goes to sleep. This is why consciousness is talking to consciousness. Furthur, as the merry pranksters say.

Pay bills, carry the water of light.

Advaita Semantics

For some, the reflection of consciousness is called consciousness, and consciousness is the reflection of awareness, awareness being another name for pure consciousness, both being other names for parabrahman.

Another name for parabrahman is nirguna brahman, the noumenon, the absolute, unmanifest, pure consciousness, or shiva. Another name for the manifest is saguna brahman, isvara, consciousness, the reflection of consciousness, universal consciousness, I am, or shakti.

Further, sometimes parabrahman is called brahman and saguna brahman is called brahman. Sometimes isvara is called krishna or vishnu or some other god. And tattvamasi is I am that. As for atman, it’s brahman.

Isvara's Absolution

The reflection of consciousness on the subtle body of maya is pure consciousness when the mind is silent and steadfast.

The mind moves and the reflection of consciousness is the i-am, the primal conception of the subtle body.

Thus resting in this most atomic concept, without any molecular attachment, is like waiting for isvara’s absolution

Give Three a Chance

And to signs, intuitions, synchronicities, and the revelations of the satguru, thank you.

Let’s hear it for the reflexive universe of shiva and shakti!

And thank you maya for playing the spacetime to be seen through.

Old duality doesn’t do well with the transitive property.

Forgive them for the power of three is awesome.

Show some compassion. Who wasn’t conditioned to avoid third rails? God bless you.

Affirming and denying is the law of duality. Their reconciliation is the power of three.

Zhuangzi called the state in which both this and that are no longer known as opposites—

Heart of the Way.

This is the source of koan.

This is the blood of nonduality.

Give woke a chance.

satcitananda footnotes ghazal

The foundation of sleep dreaming is the mind.

The foundation of the waking dream is being-existence-presence, consciousness-awareness-intelligence, holistic bliss infinity.

It's impossible to say you’re non-existent

and keep an original face.

The metaparadigm of postmodern deconstruction is scientific materialism.

The metaparadigm of personal deconstruction is nondual consciousness.

In postmodern deconstruction, the mind enslaves the intellect, ignoring intuition, synchronicity, and revelations at all costs.

In personal deconstruction, the intellect (the reflection of satcitananda’s intelligence) uses the mind as a tool.

Identifying with love is a baby step. Identifying with compassion is a big step.

And identifying with affectionate awareness is the last step.

The waking dream is namarupa superimposed on satcitananda.

Namarupa may be nothing but the substrate isn’t. And I am that.

Being-existence-presence is brahman. Consciousness-awareness-intelligence is brahman. Holistic bliss infinity is brahman.

Tattvamasi.

Satcitananda and the Art of Personal Deconstruction

Beyond the names and forms of the dream state isn’t nothing.

Existence is not non-existent. Awareness isn’t unaware. And holistic bliss infinity isn’t nihilism.

Of course a thoroughly deconstructed mind will think everything is nothing, if materialism is its metaparadigm.

Personal deconstruction without the guidance of buddhi is pointless.

This is why the satguru emphasizes love, compassion, and affectionate awareness in its worldly expressions.

If the dualities of namarupa aren’t foundational, nondual satcitananda is.

It’s the deconstructed mind which is nothing to atman. Atman is brahman.

Maya in Awareness

Believing consciousness to be a product of maya is maya at its most pure.

And unlearning this absurd metaparadigm is the greatest neti neti.

In fact, pure consciousness is reflecting in the subtle body of maya.

That is giving sentience to the entire complex of the body-mind.

But in the world of maya, earth doesn't appear in space. Space appears on earth.
