Robert Bonomo’s new film spans the parapolitical to the spiritual
"If I have not love, I am nothing." Kinda says it all, doesn't it? I believe Whoever or Whatever created this apparent reality acted out of Love and made the attainment of unconditional Love within each of us our ultimate goal. Only when this goal is met are we fit to reside within the Creator and feel fulfilled there. Not one thing this world may offer us should tempt us to fail Love... but alas, most of us do.
Twilight of the Archons does such a great job of entertaining & educating. I did know that banks are money-makers, but I didn't know that banks gov'ts rule through debt, which explains why they're usually hated second only to lawyers. Even sentimental movies like It's a Wonderful Life point out the truth of finance. In the scene w/ the run on the Savings & Loan in Bedford Falls, George Bailey points out innocently that the money is tied up in debt all over town. But that's the whole theme of human existence: most everyone does the best they can to forget how empty everything is & impermanence is to be ignored, denied, or rationalized wgile true permanence is written off as a myth or smoke & mirrors.
The AI argument has not been thought out very well. Machines do not have experiences of themselves.
I agree with this very strongly. In the earliest days, computers could manage magnificent feats like adding up columns of figures in seconds, and were commonly called "Giant Electronic Brains". I suppose most people quickly realised that they had fooled themselves. I remember we went on a trip from school to see some of the earliest computers (some were made of electronic valves (tubes) and one of them printed out a greeting to us all. We were told not to take this too seriously, but nevertheless it did make an impression on me until I realised how it had been done!
I have to draw on my own experience w/ 'non-living things.' My earliest ones were w/ my mother's ability to get cars started after my dad tried all his tricks. She had the habit of naming our cars, so she would talk gently to which ever one was acting up as she patted the dashboard, & an amazing part of the time, the car would then start. My favorite example is how the head farmer at Ananda Cooperative Village finally got his front-end loader going after trying every thing else but prayer. He did a healing prayer of Paramahansa Yogananda's, & the loader fired right up!
