I think you could probably also say, there is no sight in the ego/self avatar/so-called SVP.

Session 29.

"After hours of extremely high-energy purification, I began to experience physical existence as a unified field, as an unbroken tissue or matrix. Individual life-forms were crystallisations of this matrix. My very incarnation was a distillation of this living fabric. Both my virtues and my imperfections, my strengths and my weaknesses were part of it's self-evolution.

In this context, I saw that the cycle of purification pertains not only to individuals but also to humankind as a whole as it reincarnates again and again through history. In order to evolve itself beyond its current level of development, the unified fabric of human consciousness was systematically cleansing itself of the legacy of its past through the coordinated reincarnation of billions of people who carried that legacy into their incarnations.

Experiencing human existence as a completely unified field made everything much easier to understand. The latticework of Mind that saturates and coordinates our individual lives has a logic to it that subsumes our individual perspectives. Today, physical reality was dissolving into its underlying matrix, and with it the reality of individual psyches disappeared. What I had previously conceptualised in atomistic terms as individual people choosing to reincarnate in order to clear their personal karmic patterms, I was now experiencing as a centralised decision to incarnate entire generations to cleanse the human mind-field of its collective karmic legacy. I saw no sustainable distinctions between individuals, only the web of life operating in an integrated, unified manner.

...

This visionary experience of the entire human species reincarnating with common purpose, taking on itself the burden of collective purification in order to advance a collective unfolding, opened a new world of understanding to me. It was my first experience of a theme that would be repeated and deepened in the years ahead. This shift of perspective from individual to collective intention in reincarnation radically expanded my understanding of the scale of intelligence operating in history.

With this transition, the final wall between our individual evolution and humanity's collective evolution came down. Individual karma and collective karma became completely transparent to each other. I saw that individuals and humanity were evolving together in an incredibly subtle and synergistic dance."

"Once you think the world is an illusion, it isn't." The Moped Vagrant

AI: The quote you shared, "Once you think the world is an illusion, it isn't," is thought-provoking and invites us to reconsider our perceptions of reality. It highlights the paradox that arises when we try to intellectualize or conceptualize the nature of reality and existence.

In various spiritual and philosophical traditions, there is a notion that reality is complex and multifaceted, beyond our limited human understanding. Some teachings suggest that labeling the world as an illusion can oversimplify the intricate tapestry of existence and consciousness.

When we attempt to grasp the essence of reality through the lens of concepts and beliefs, we may inadvertently create another layer of illusion. The act of labeling the world as an illusion itself can become a mental construct that limits our ability to perceive the true depth and complexity of existence.

Instead of getting caught up in labels and interpretations, some teachings encourage a direct experience of reality through mindfulness, presence, and awareness. By being fully engaged in the present moment and embracing the uniqueness of each experience without judgment or preconceived notions, we may tap into a more authentic and profound understanding of reality.

Ultimately, the quote challenges us to go beyond intellectualizing and categorizing the world and invites us to explore reality with openness, curiosity, and a sense of wonder. When we approach life with a beginner's mind and let go of rigid definitions and assumptions, we may uncover the richness and beauty of the world in its purest form, free from the constraints of illusion or perception.

"Once you think the world is an illusion, it isn't."

Not necessarily. You may just be under another illusion about what the world is.

Can you interpret for me one by one Nisa's 229 quotes. I am using AI to help me interpret it. I even thought of putting it into a book for beginners in self-realization. Even if you say it's true about AI. At least I have something to start with. Some wisdom may come from within reading AI interpretation on quotes. Why dont you give me your best quote and I will have AI interprer it for me. And we can discuss it, sifting the chaff from the grain.

• 'Why is one actor greater than another ? The answer is simple. Because one has the power to feel what he is saying and doing, and is not parroting his words like a machine.
  
  Wishing is not attainment unless you add purpose to it, remember that. Willing is the act of concentration, it is the concentrated holding together of the whole conscious faculties of the mind and determining a result to be achieved."

• "THE HANDS-ON PRINCIPLE
  
  When Marian Diamond carried out her famous experiment of putting rats in a super-stimulating environment, she also tested a control group. This control group was not allowed to play with the toys, swings, ladders, treadmills, trapezes, and other delights enjoyed by the Super Rats. They were, however, allowed to watch the Super Rats play. Certain theories of child development hold that stimulating input alone will enhance a child’s intellectual growth. By analogy, Diamond’s spectator rats should have sprouted extra neurological connections must by watching the other rats play—but they didn’t. The spectator rats died must as young and had interconnections must as sparse as did their less fortunate counterparts in barren cages who were not allowed to watch.
  
  Clearly, input alone did not create Super Rats. The rats had to touch and play with the toys in order to gain brainpower. This suggests that the Super Rat Effect was a feedback loop. The more the rats physically interacted with their environment, the more stimulation that environment fed back to them in the form of brain growth."

• “The [Faraday's] Diaries have the…irritating form of ideas jotted down, repeated and forgotten. Try as he might, this scientist searched in vain for anything that smacked of sustained reasoning. Instead, he encountered a morass of articulated and unarticulated principles, concepts, observations and physical facts. At length, this hapless scholar was forced to conclude that the very lack of pattern was…itself the evidence of how Faraday thought…. Faraday suspended the need to understand, and simply acknowledged the thoughts which came into his head. The coherence of ideas was not imposed by any prior framework, but was allowed to emerge from the chaos of thoughts he experienced.”

Diaries or journals are for the writer. I have found that I think through my fingers more than just-inside-my-head. So I find nothing unusual in the quote.

One of the most important books I've ever read is Magical Child by Joseph Chilton Pearce. He discovered natures plan for learning. He says nature supplies the intent, parents or caregivers must supply the content. Content is just stuff to explore, a widely varied supply of objects, just as discovered about the rats. I could recommend the book to anyone.
