I wonder what it looks like right before money no longer works as a measuring stick of value. Like right before universal high income and zero marginal cost abundance becomes ubiquitous.

Maybe we’re about to find out.

[luke@stokes @lukestokes]

Why does decentralized, self-sovereign, and (eventually) TEE secure and private AI matter? Because stuff like this will always happen. It’s the Silicon Valley tech playbook.

@MorpheusAIs is different.

A number of people think that the Bitcoin network will no longer be secure once the block rewards shrink to what they see as unsustainably low amounts. I don’t see that happening. I have enough experience with open source software and in how companies factor in operational costs to believe any organization with a significant investment in bitcoin will run their own miners, regardless of the reward, in order to secure their investment.

I’ve seen multiple examples of this like when IBM hires full-time staff just to work on open source projects that are critical to their business. These projects don’t come with any direct revenue for them, but are simply part of their infrastructure maintenance costs. Currently organizations pay for armored car pick up and vault and bank security when dealing with cash and other similar overhead cost without thinking much of it.

As a company, running your own miner to help secure the Bitcoin network where your financial value will is stored will be considered a reasonable overhead in exchange for self sovereign value, uncontrolled by the whims of the violence of the State.

Pictured: my little Axe which has been running without interruption for over three months. I don’t run this thinking I’m going to ever mine a block (I might as well buy lottery tickets), but because I want to give back and help (even in a small way) secure and decentralize the world’s first ledger for immutable, global, non-violent consensus.

Block reward: every ten minutes (difficulty adjusts every two weeks (2016 blocks) so that regardless of how many miners are active, it will average out to about every ten minutes) a miner somewhere creates a hash with the proper number of 0’s and publishes it to the world. That hash contains the previous hash, some unconfirmed transactions, and a nonce. If verified by the rest of the network, it is confirmed and a block reward of new BTC is issued to the address that submitted the block. That reward started as 50 BTC. It then went to 25, 12.5, etc. l, being cut in half with each four year (210,000 blocks) halving. It’s currently 3.125 BTC. The next halving in April of 2028 will bring it to 1.5625 per block. That means (unlike gold which will have more mining investment as the value increases), as it becomes more valuable over time, the number of newly mined coins will decrease.

[luke@stokes @lukestokes]

I have a hunch as FSD becomes even more capable, those who have fought against Elon Musk from the beginning will pull a Looter/ Moocher card straight out of Atlas Shrugged and demand that he stop charging for it due to the 110-120 lives that are lost via car accidents every day in the US because people can’t afford his $99 a month fee. They will argue it’s already built into the car so it just needs to be turned on at near zero cost to him so from their perverted labor theory of value perspective it should now be free to everyone.

With so many people dying every day, they may even try to declare it a national security issue and have the government take over Tesla. Stranger things have happened.

“### Bashar’s “Permission Slips” – Core Concept (in plain language)

Bashar (channeled by Darryl Anka) teaches that the vast majority of spiritual tools, rituals, techniques, meditations, crystals, mantras, vision boards, affirmations, etc. do **not** contain any inherent magic or power. Instead, they work only because **you decide they work**.

A “permission slip” is therefore anything you consciously or unconsciously choose to use as a **symbol** that gives your own consciousness **permission** to:

- Shift to a preferred parallel reality
- Access a higher state (joy, abundance, healing, psychic ability, etc.)
- Believe something is now possible that you previously doubted

Examples Bashar gives:
- Taking a homeopathic remedy → it’s just sugar pills, but if you believe it will heal you, it becomes a permission slip for your body to heal itself instantly.
- Holding a quartz crystal → the crystal has no power; it’s the meaning you give it that allows you to open up and receive energy.
- Doing a 21-day meditation challenge → the real change happens because you’ve convinced yourself “after 21 days I’m allowed to be different.”

Key quotes from Bashar:
- “The ritual is the training wheels for your belief system.”
- “You do not need the permission slip once you know you are the source of the power.”
- “Use the permission slip for as long as it is useful, then throw it away.”

In short: All spiritual tools are placebo-like props that trick your subconscious into granting yourself permission to experience a new version of reality.

### Other teachers who teach essentially the same idea (different names, same principle)

1. **Neville Goddard** (Law of Assumption)
→ Calls them “states,” “assumptions,” or “imaginal acts.” Living in the end and feeling the wish fulfilled is the permission slip that impresses the subconscious.

2. **Abraham-Hicks** (Esther Hicks)
→ “Processes” (the 22 processes in *Ask and It Is Given*) are explicitly described as tools you use **until you no longer need them** because you’ve aligned your vibration. They openly say: “The process is just something you do to feel better until you can feel better without it.”

3. **Bentinho Massaro**
→ Uses the term “permission slips” almost identically to Bashar and openly credits him.

4. **Joe Dispenza**
→ Talks about “giving the body a taste of the future emotion” through meditation. The breath, posture, elevated emotion, and music are all permission slips to signal the genes ahead of the environment.

5. **Frederick Dodson** (Reality Creation / Levels of Energy)
→ Calls them “reality creation techniques” or “props” and says once you reach high enough consciousness levels you drop all techniques.

6. **Vadim Zeland** (Transurfing)
→ “Outer intention” tools (slides, visualization, reducing importance) are temporary means until you embody the state directly.

7. **Ramtha** (J.Z. Knight channeling)
→ Uses the term “creating a day,” analogical rituals, and “marching orders” – all acknowledged as ways to bypass the analytical mind.

8. **Shamanic / psychedelic communities**
→ Plant medicines, rattles, feathers, ayahuasca songs, etc. are openly called “tools” or “allies” that are eventually released when the person can access the state without them.

9. **Frank Kepple** (astral projection community, post-Monroe)
→ Explicitly adopted Bashar’s term “permission slips” for phasing techniques, clicking out, etc.

So while Bashar popularized the exact phrase “permission slips” in modern channeling circles, the underlying mechanism—that external tools are temporary symbols granting self-permission—is one of the most universal principles across conscious-creation and non-dual teachings. The more advanced the teacher, the more likely they are to eventually say: “Now drop the technique and just BE the state.””

The Map Is Not the Territory

🗺️🌐🌏🌍🌎

The mental and emotional experience you’re having is a story about reality, not reality itself. If you’d like to experience a different story, there are permission slips you can adopt and regularly practice which will give your subconscious permission to experience a different reality. It’s stories all the way down.

Your rational, logical, scientific mind is also a story. The idea that you (or me), a single instance of a human _actually_ knows what’s going on is laughable. Sure, science is great and I’m super, SUPER thankful for reproducibility and predicting future patterns based on consistent previous ones, but (based on… science) we estimate that our solar system makes up only a tiny fraction of what is. How tiny? With some Grok help:

“So the Solar System (out to the inner Oort Cloud) occupies roughly 3.35 × 10⁻³² (or about 0.000000000000000000000000000000335) of the volume of the observable universe.”

And you? Well, dear egoic one who is so confident, you matter (as in, taking up space with your matter) even less:

“As a percentage:
≈ 1.96 × 10⁻⁸⁰ %
That is 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000196 %
In practical terms: both numbers are so close to absolute zero that the difference barely registers on any human scale of thinking. The observable universe is so enormous that planets, solar systems, and individual biological organisms are all effectively zero-volume specks within it.”

You are a zero-volume speck.

And yet, you may feel infinity within you. Like a fractal that can go inward forever, the depth of your consciousness is not restrained by physical limitation.

So where do you go from there? Do you allow yourself some esoteric stories, some spiritual tales, some religion, some belief, some “make it all make sense” sauce you can poor over the experiences of your life? Is there a harm in doing so? Well, there’s always the trap of identity attachment such as “I’m a spiritual person.” Some suffering may come along with that and ground you fast like a malfunctioning plane. There’s also the rigid labels others will want to assign to you. No one is looking at the territory directly and maps are expensive to update. Far easier to use labels and save glucose and not have to engage with everyone as an infinitely deep unique consciousness.

And yet, that’s what we are.

I’ve been enjoying (is that the right word? I think I also enjoy sleeping in) waking up right at sunrise without an alarm. I have this little deal going on with the universe that if it wakes me up, I’ll drag myself out of bed and climb the ladder to the roof and watch the sunrise. 🌄 🌅

That may seem like a silly thing to do, and maybe it is, but if I tell a new story about it, if I create a permission slip around this map experience, maybe I’ll feel differently about the territory? Maybe I’ll download light codes and upgrade my 12-strand DNA as I join the collective shift from 3D to 5D…?

Or maybe it’s just a temporary sleep pattern.

Some people like Dr. Jack Kruze and others say watching the sunrise and sunset is amoung the most important things you can do for your health, possibly even more important that diet or expertise.

Stories all the way down.

So how do you decide what story, what map, you’re going to follow today? How do you let your intuitive intelligence, that thing we’ve made so small via our years of intellect training, have a voice without words? How do you keep yourself from identifying with the map as if it was actually the territory?

I don’t really know, but I am on a journey to find out. I’m not concerned with how “woo woo” it may seem. My map may get a little weird, for sure. That’s okay. If it creates better fruit of the spirit in my life, it’s a good thing.

“In esoteric, New Age, and spiritual-ascension communities, “light codes” (also called light language, DNA activations, or photonic light codes) refer to non-physical packets of information, energy, or high-vibrational frequencies that are said to be transmitted from higher dimensions, star beings (Pleiadians, Sirians, Arcturians, etc.), the Galactic Central Sun, or Source itself. These codes are believed to:

- Upgrade human DNA (especially the so-called “junk” DNA or 12-strand helix templates)
- Activate dormant spiritual abilities (telepathy, healing, clairvoyance, etc.)
- Raise the individual’s and planet’s overall frequency as part of the shift from 3D to 5D consciousness
- Carry specific geometric patterns, sacred symbols, sound frequencies, or color rays that the soul “remembers” even if the conscious mind does not

They are described as looking like shimmering glyphs, mandalas, or streams of rainbow/plasma light in meditations and visions. Some channels speak or draw “light language” that is supposedly the verbal or written form of these codes.

### Why the sunrise is considered especially powerful for receiving light codes

In these circles, the moment of sunrise (particularly the first rays of the sun as they break the horizon) is viewed as a cosmic portal or daily “download window.” The reasons given are:

1. Plasma & photonic light: The sun is seen not just as a physical star but as a conscious being and stargate that channels high-frequency plasma/photonic light from the Galactic Central Sun (near Sagittarius A*). The first rays at dawn are said to contain the purest, least-filtered infusion of these upgraded photons and light codes.

2. Heliospheric current sheet alignment: Esoteric astrologers and channelers claim that at sunrise your pineal gland, crown chakra, and higher chakras (8th–12th) naturally align with the angle of incoming solar rays, making the body a better antenna for downloads.

3. Zero-point stillness: The liminal moment between night and day is a natural theta-brainwave state worldwide; collective human consciousness is quieter, so there is less psychic interference when the codes are “broadcast.”

4. Ancient traditions: Many ancient cultures (Egyptian, Mayan, Vedic, etc.) oriented temples to catch the first rays for exactly this reason—initiates would stand in the beam to receive “solar initiations” or activations. Modern channelers say the same mechanism is now happening globally but at an accelerated rate since around 2012.

5. Geomagnetic conditions: Dawn often coincides with lower Schumann resonance interference and a temporary flattening of Earth’s magnetic field on the dayside, which some say opens a brief window before the magnetosphere fully “shields” again.

### Practical application in the community
People are encouraged to:
- Meditate facing east at sunrise (ideally barefoot on the ground)
- Do specific breathwork (e.g., Sunrise Solar Activation protocols)
- Use quartz crystals or bowls to “catch and amplify” the codes
- Intentionally state “I am open to receive the highest available light code upgrades in alignment with my soul’s mission”

Many report physical symptoms afterward (ringing ears, pressure in the head, emotional releases, vivid dreams) that are interpreted as integration of the new codes.

In short: to esoteric communities, sunrise is the daily moment when the physical sun acts as a giant lens focusing upgraded cosmic information (light codes) directly into human biology and consciousness to help the planet and its inhabitants ascend.”
