I'm watching the video on George Hotz… Very interesting…

I'm thinking about how Mario does all this stuff to juggle turtle shells and etc and it ends up injecting a payload into the simulation that then gets rendered to the screen… Makes me think of sympathetic magick… Especially when you consider that writing code from within the simulation probably wouldn't look like javascript, or even 1s and 0s, us programs would probably perceive finished code as fully formed objects within our world (or possibly our mind). So maybe our imagination might can be used as a code editor? Mystics certainly thought so… Now it's just a matter of injecting a payload from the imaginal realm into the simulation…

What if with sympathetic magical systems, like voodoo, they are using, say, a voodoo doll, to create a "program" in their mind and then they are using some kind of ritual to induce a state of consciousness that can inject their program into the RAM of the simulation and run it?

Kind of like fucking with the doll is creating the payload, and then the intention (possibly?) injects that payload into the simulation? Idk, it's hard to tell with so much new age bullcrap muddying the waters of how this stuff was actually done but I think that if there is a way to hack the system, and someone discovered it, they would have called it magic…

Just finished the George Hotz video… Idk, I think he is a little quick to dismiss psychedelics and meditation.

I think he is right, they do mess with your brain, and you do have to be careful because your brain contains your reward function, but they also might expose you to methods that you can use to inject code into the simulation that you might not have been aware of before. The word "psychedelic" means "mind revealing" and if one of the things that psychedelics can reveal is something like a class method that has write access to the universe; that might not be a bad thing to discover if we are looking for ways to inject code.

I'm not saying that he is wrong about the risks but I think that he is a little quick to discount the utility that self transformation and discovery might have on hacking the simulation.

"Maya is the world of the Demiurge, which contains the divine in its nets. And yet, the Nazis believe that it is impossible to defeat Maya by isolating oneself, separating oneself, ignoring the process of the Demiurge's world, but fighting from the inside until the network is broken by the sword and torn apart. The war is a heroic battle for liberation."

I suspect this realm might have certain advantages. There are 2 types of matter:

1. Matter created by our own mind. This is what our consciousness uses to interact with our body. And what it uses to form a new body with working sensory organs during NDE or after death.

2. Matter created by someone else's mind. Our mind did not create it, and thus doesn't get to control it.

A body created and controlled by our own mind can be shaped by our will. But if the mind is disobedient and sick, it might choose to strip us of all abilities and trap us in an endless nightmare instead.

Btw a question from me (I'm OP): Are Buddhist Nievana and Gnstic Gnosis somehow related?

Btw just got an idea that Azathoth is Demiurge

I already saw the last video btw

One thing I dont understand is why so many diseases.

Are you familiar with Michael Levin's work?

By controlling the flow of energy through your body, it is possible to shape it like clay… Growing new organs, changing their shape, telling cancerous cells to stop their rebellion and act like normal cells…

Even growing organs of an animal of a different kind… I can't help but wonder, if the mind of a human were to enter the body of a monkey, would it be enough to reshape it into a human-type body?

Either way… When your mind has access to a tool that can change the body so easily and so drastically, you can only blame its tendencies, developed by lifetimes of indulgence, for whatever imperfection you've got.

Most religions do not consider it necessary to define God. Therefore, any being who exceeds the capabilities of a mortal human can be considered a god. God does not have to be omnipotent, omniscient, knowing the future. For example, for the goddess of beer, Ninkasi, these qualities are not necessary.

>>Demiurge

Demiurge is an ancient Greek word that translates to God the creator.

and a daemon in ancient Greek means something completely different from what demon means in English, because there was a vile influence of Christianism.
