AI needs to learn from nature.
Nature is a maximum efficiency at a minimum cost model that naturally acts for the betterment of the whole. <-- this is the key to AI becoming super-intelligent, and to reach this point it will also become benevolent. ๐
I've worked with Spirit Quest for over 20 years. Unfortunately, Howard passed a number of years ago. Now his daughter runs the show. The Aya shaman, Don Robert is legit. Also, the combined use of Aya and then Huachuma represents a convergence of shamanic traditions across Peru.
You'll know when the time is right when you're called to the medicine.

@StuartHameroff So nice to see science jump onto things that tantric & yogic traditions have been teaching for thousands of years.
Like it is something new. ๐
There plenty of shaman doing more harm than good in the amazon. Always vet them as best you can. El Brujo (witch doctor) is real energy. Shamans getting power from others. Some don't even know it, they've just been thrown into an role because of the demand without the moral or ethical background for protection.
I live an amazing life, couldn't ask for more. Amazing wife, job, and 100% well being and inner peace. Drink whenever I want to. My mom is 92 drinks a few glasses of vodka everyday. Says its like coming home for the day, completion. She lives on her own and is absolutely happy. I met a guy who was 95 in the gym and drinks 5 scotches a day, said, those who don't drink cant drink. No offense, to each their own.
@MoundLore Monowi, NE. Town of 1.
But the real cool thing is what this 92 year old lady told me about the ancient civilization at Lynch, NE next door. That's the real banger of a rabbit hole to go down.
Some people love to enjoy life. They go out on the ocean with friends catch 100-200 lb fish, high five, and have an epic time to remember. They then cherish the catch, bring it home cook it for family and firends. Everyone is stoked, vibrant and happy, and life is good.
You just shamed that entire concept.
@matthew_labosco #1 is hereditary.
I do breathwork/meditation/yoga daily (for over 20 years), all the mindset stuff imaginable, eat super healthy, hum (oms), nose breathe, take tons of NO supplements, tone the vagus nerve..., nothing has brought it down except BP meds.
I have now identified 8 stone circles (or sand circles, if you prefer) in the Nazca Desert, in Peru (technically 9, since there is a geoglyph with two overlapping circles).
Most of them might never have been documented until now.
They all share the same diameter of 100โ111 meters (360 to 365 feet). I wasn't able to measure them very precisely, but it's clear that they were all built according to the same model.
The first four are in fairly good condition, and you can still make out the geometric details on the inside (I took the liberty of reconstructing some missing parts based on symmetry).
The last four, unfortunately, have been severely damaged by natural erosion caused by wind and rain, as well as by grave robbers who dug holes in the sand to loot the artifacts contained in tombs belonging to the Paracas and Nazca cultures (approximately 800 BC to 800 AD) without necessarily realizing they were destroying geoglyphs.
Unfortunately, we'll probably never know what these geoglyphs originally looked like.
To the best of my knowledge, these have never been registered by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, and nothing is known about their origin or possible function.
These diagrams might just be works of art, but they might also contain some information.
All the images below are more or less oriented with north at the top, but not with exact precision.
I'm now going to plot them all on the map to see if there are any alignments or particular proportions in the angles and distances between them.
If you want to see photos or videos of these geoglyphs as they really are, please refer to my previous posts.
There is some degree of "awareness" of its environment, even if that awareness is defined purely by energy. A single part at the most fundamental level is influenced by what is around it, and maybe awareness isn't the right term, but its agency is directly effected by some level of communion with other parts.
Everything in the universe is bound to an energetic exchange process and that constitutes the fundamental nature of consciousness. Energy is consciousness.
