@TVachaW I’ve also found this to be true. It’s fascinating how these micro-waypoints can manifest as an added richness to light and color. You can really see the sunlight play on the bark of trees, or through the leaves, for example.
@atmoio I think spirituality relates to a state of being (ontology), rather than a process of understanding (epistemology). So even if LLM’s can accomplish the latter (big if), that’s still fundamentally different from spirit/consciousness.
How long does it take to connect to the gods of the land? I’m talking the deep reciprocal relationship where you learn their old names and their songs are written into your bones? Centuries? Thousands of years? Tens of thousands?
Greeks really knocked one out of the park with Dionysus. S tier god right there. You think he’s gone for good but he was just sleeping in the soil until the next rain
@owenbroadcast Great post. IMO it makes intuitive sense that these animist energies/waves/beings exhibit some of the same characteristics as human consciousness - benevolence, malevolence, just doing a lil trolling, particularly if they’re also an expression of the same Source consciousness.
@FortySacks Matters of spirituality need to be led by the heart. The head can help contextualize and integrate these experiences of the heart, but leading with facts and figures omits the most critical part of the equation
@theerealtao “Biblical stories” isn’t the right referent. You could destroy every religious text in the world today, and people will still find their way back to god eventually.
@aimieeee___ There are a billion paths to god. By your desire to participate in and build ethical systems, it seems you are already walking such a path. God walks it with you and loves you regardless.
