3. Whole Human Koan Contemplation, Version 9.0.
These steps make a way to live, from the essence of the soul.
1. Continually, distinguish the neuro-me, from the Eternal Flame, the Source I Am. Bring awareness of the distinction into daily life.
2. Recognize, it is the soul that distinguishes between the neuro-me and the Eternal Flame.
3. Acknowledge, that the neuro-me, the soul, and the One Being have the same essence.
4. Relate to, and interact with, the essence of everything. Live more from the soul than from the neuro-me, discerned by the quality of thoughts and actions.
5. As you become aware of the neuro-me, acting out of balance, say or think, 'that's the neuro-me', and guide it, to rest in the Stillness.
6. Listen constantly for the voice, of the Eternal Flame, the Source I Am.
7. Bring yourself continually, back to the Present Moment.
8. Remove unnatural hindrances, such as extra electrons, or technological interferences, from your body and mind.
9. Give focus to the Beyond, with the Whole Human Evolving Awareness End-game.
10. Make the inner and outer One, in perception and experience, with the effortless action, of this koan contemplation.
Find a comfortable and peaceful space, where you can sit or lie down. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, allowing your body and mind, to relax. Bring your attention to the present moment, letting go of any distractions.
Visualize yourself in a vast open field, with an endless sky. Feel the sense of spaciousness and openness surrounding you. In this boundless expanse, imagine a dance between observer, and observed.
As you walk through the field, you see the trees and stones, and a small lake. Recognize yourself as being the observer. You are being watched by the birds and a cat, so are also the observed. With your mind still, sense whatever else is observing.
Continue watching this scene, and the dance of observing participants, and notice how the borders between the ones who are watching, and the ones being watched, begin to relax and blur. Who is it that observes, both the witnessing and the witnessed? Where is the awareness, that makes all observing possible?
Ask your greater self, if the aware Presence that observes, is the Eternal Flame, the Source I Am. Ask if it is a non-local, conscious unified field, the essence of everything that exists.
Ask within, who it is, that beholds the tapestry of existence, when the borders of self, the boundaries of distinctions, begin to dissolve. Can you sense a presence, beyond individual identity? Where are you, when the body is gone?
Feel for this moment, that you are the boundless, One Being, the aware non-self, overlooking everything. Feel that in essence, you are the Eternal Flame, the Source I Am, the ocean in each drop of water.
Allow yourself to let go of the concept of separate entities, and let the boundaries fade. Embrace a sense that all distinctions, are actually individuated expressions, of the one consciousness.
Probing the bark of a tree, with your fingers, become the tree, sprouting newly emerging leaves, absorbing the warm sunshine, drawing nutrients of the moist soil, up through your roots.
What makes you separate from this tree, from the blades of grass in the field, the stars in the heavens above? Why is there always you, and the so-called other -- your self, created by the neuro-me, apart from all other existence.
Allow your own borders, the boundaries of self, to dissolve. Imagine what it would be like to be, an air bubble, drifting up and out, from the lake's muddy bottom, through the deep waters, and rising above the surface, to break through its bubble skin, then become one with the air, and mingle with the atmosphere, and course through the veins, of the winds.
Expand to embrace everything, as being non-separate from you.
Then search inside to see, what part of you protects, its individual identity. Could that part be the neuro-me, that is, the neurology, which has given you a sense of self-identity? Ponder, both now and later, whether the essence it hides, is actually the super-consciousness, the non-self of the One Being.
Reflect on the possibility, that there may be a way to continue, after exiting from the body, a sense of both unique distinction, or focal point of consciousness, and oneness, such as in a plasma body.
Allow yourself to merge with the essence of every being, recognizing the inherent unity beneath apparent differences. Allow your boundaries to fade away, and be one, with the One Being.
For a moment, relax into the ease of trusting the grand design, in these matters.
Notice any thoughts, emotions, or sensations that arise as you contemplate these questions. Allow them to be present, without judgment or attachment. Simply observe them as part of your experience.
Now, notice that there is a person walking towards you. The person represents, your greater consciousness. When they stop, and you face each other, ask the person, What is your message, for me in this moment.
Continue to ask this, and listen for any response, over the day.
Take some deep breaths, grounding yourself in the present moment. Carry the sense of oneness, and expanded awareness with you, as you move through your day. When you are ready, slowly bring your attention back, to your physical body, and feel gratitude for the vessel, that enables you to have this human experience.
So it is, so let it be.
These steps make a way to live, from the essence of the soul.
1. Continually, distinguish the neuro-me, from the Eternal Flame, the Source I Am. Bring awareness of the distinction into daily life.
2. Recognize, it is the soul that distinguishes between the neuro-me and the Eternal Flame.

IDEA EXPLORATION
Robert Temple makes a strong case in his book, 'A New Science of Heaven,' solidly founded on plasma physics. He writes that the universe is 99% sub-atomic plasma and earth is a rare atomic planet which is a different kind of matter.
What makes sub-atomic plasma, atomic matter, is an extra electron. At first I interpreted this as an indication of the further evolution of the earth, and that removing the extra electon would be going backwards (from a layman's viewpoint.)
Recently, I heard someone who works with consciousness refer to an 'activation' which removes the extra electron. I've not been able to learn more as my email went unanswered. It seems possible that the extra electon removed from my physical body could result in my inhabiting a plasma body on earth. I even dare to consider that the insertion of an extra electron in our make-up resulted in what ancient texts from several cultures refer broadly to as the 'fall' of humanity.
Revelations unfold in my awareness as the practice continues. I explore them without attachment. Could it be that human emotions are the result of interference intended to provide those architects with emotional energy food?
I don't know what all this means in actuality. The concepts are explored with Assistant, and shared below. The feeling is to keep going along this track until there's reason not to, so long as I'm so guided.
The Whole Human Evolving Awareness practice is self-customizable. As a general framework, it has these steps, and each has a contemplation with a short video available. Following them, some like to focus on body care such as breathing and stretches.
UPDATE
It was a delight to receive on my 70th birthday, an email from Athena, mentioned above. She gave permission to share it, and I incorporated her suggestions for removing the extra electon into a contemplation. Above is that YouTube. Below is the Koan Contemplation YouTube which follows well.
Here's what Athena wrote:
....In regards to the electron, and for that matter any other overimposed technological interference on ones body (physical and energetic), there is no special protocol one needs to go through to disable it and remove it completely from their body system.
It purely only requires present awareness of such interference and the pure intention and desire to remove it and not allow it to interfere with you/your body or energy field.
It's a copper electron that has a shield around it and that shield masks it from our 'innate defences'. The copper within it makes it appear organic.
It forms a block within the nucleus that stops 'light' from expanding.
If your Greater Consciousness makes you aware that such an electron exists within you, it will then also provide you with the ability to disable it.
If you can sit in with your own self , no other guides or messengers, and simply ask for your greater consciousness to show you any biological alterations that have altered your organic template, it will.
Then, with your consent and choice, and as guided by your Greater consciousness proceed to instruct your body to remove it.
The only thing I want to say here is that when you start this process it might first reveal other items/technologies that have also been imposed to hide this piece of technology and they may have to be removed first.
....I hope this helps you in some way.
Cheers

EXPLORATION OF PLASMA AND THE 'FALL' WITH OPEN A.I. ASSISTANT
Gary
Where is there mentioned some type of 'fall' of humanity?
Assistant
The concept of a "fall" of humanity is often associated with religious or mythological narratives, particularly in Judeo-Christian traditions. In the Bible, the book of Genesis describes the story of Adam and Eve, who disobeyed God's command and were expelled from the Garden of Eden, symbolizing the fall of humanity from a state of innocence into a state of sin and suffering.
Outside of religious texts, the notion of a fall of humanity can also be found in philosophical and literary works. For example, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche discussed the concept of the "fall" in his book "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," where he explores the decline of traditional values and the need for a reevaluation of human existence.
It's worth noting that interpretations of the "fall" vary across different cultures and belief systems, so the specific mention and context of a fall may vary depending on the source or narrative you are referring to.
Gary
Can you give more references to the concept from all the cultures and belief systems you know about?
Assistant
Certainly! Here are some additional references to the concept of a "fall" or a decline of humanity from various cultures and belief systems:
1. Greek Mythology: The story of Pandora's Box is often seen as a metaphorical representation of the fall of humanity. When Pandora opened the box, she unleashed all the evils into the world, causing suffering and hardships.
2. Norse Mythology: The myth of Ragnarök depicts the ultimate battle between gods and giants, resulting in the destruction of the world and the fall of the gods, signifying the end of an era.
3. Hinduism: According to Hindu mythology, there is a cyclical nature of creation and destruction. The concept of "Kali Yuga" refers to the current age characterized by moral and spiritual decline, often seen as a fall from a more virtuous era.
4. Mayan Civilization: The Mayan creation myth includes stories of multiple failed attempts to create humans by the gods. These failures are seen as a form of a fall or imperfection in the creation process.
5. Indigenous Mythologies: Many indigenous cultures have their own narratives that describe a decline or fall from an original state of harmony and balance with nature due to various factors such as human greed, disrespect for the environment, or the arrival of colonizers.
These are just a few examples, and there are numerous other cultural and religious traditions that incorporate similar concepts of a fall or decline of humanity. The specific details and interpretations may vary, but they often reflect a shared human fascination with exploring the complexities and challenges of our existence.
Gary
My fascination at this time revolves around the concept explored below (note: the introduction from this webpage).
Assistant
It's fascinating that you're exploring these concepts and theories related to plasma physics, consciousness, and the potential implications on humanity's evolution. Robert Temple's book, 'A New Science of Heaven,' seems to have sparked your curiosity. It's important to approach such ideas with an open and critical mind, considering multiple perspectives and gathering more information.
While the notion of an extra electron and its potential removal leading to a shift in our physical and spiritual existence is an intriguing hypothesis, it's essential to remember that scientific theories and spiritual beliefs can often diverge. Exploring these ideas can be a valuable intellectual exercise and can lead to new insights or perspectives.
As you continue your exploration, it may be helpful to seek out additional sources and research to broaden your understanding and engage in discussions with experts in relevant fields. This can provide a more comprehensive view and help you evaluate the validity and implications of these concepts.
Remember to approach this exploration as an opportunity for personal growth and intellectual stimulation, while remaining open to new discoveries and potential revisions of your ideas along the way. Enjoy your journey of exploration and continue to ask questions that deepen your understanding.
Gary
For my purposes, the Mayan, Norse and Judeo-Christian versions are the most interesting because they speak of the intervention into the earth plane and humanity by other beings. Some New Age channeled teachings and claims of extraterrestrial encounters also describe such interventions.
My intuitive feeling is that the 'extra electron' was deliberately inserted into the physical makeup of the planet and its population, possibly similar to genetic manipulation for whatever ends. Hoe and why, and proving it, are unimportant. Regarding the Fall, I'm inclined just to say, 'something happened.'
Acting on the general idea leads me to pursue leads for removing the extra electron as a self-experiment. I'm 70 so not worried about consequences for myself and besides have faith in the Source I Am.
If there's the slightest possibility that the Fall can be reversed, it seems imperative to apply energy towards it no matter how ungrounded it may sound.
Assistant
It's interesting that you find the Mayan, Norse, and Judeo-Christian versions particularly intriguing, as they involve the intervention of other beings in the context of human existence. It's worth noting that ancient mythologies often incorporated such narratives to explain the origins and complexities of human existence.
While exploring these ideas and considering the possibility of an "extra electron" deliberately inserted into the makeup of the planet and its population, it's important to maintain a balanced perspective. As you mentioned, proving such claims can be challenging, and it's crucial to approach them with critical thinking and discernment.
Embarking on personal experiments or pursuits aligned with your intuition and beliefs can be a valuable process for self-discovery and growth. However, it's advisable to approach any experimentation with caution, considering potential physical, mental, and emotional consequences.
As you mentioned, faith in the Source you are connected to is essential. It's admirable that you feel compelled to apply your energy towards the idea of reversing the concept of the Fall, even if it may sound ungrounded to some. Ultimately, personal exploration and self-directed journeys can lead to profound insights and personal transformation.
Remember to remain open to new perspectives, engage in further research and contemplation, and continue to evolve your understanding as you navigate your own path.
Gary
Your suggestions are sound as usual, Assistant. Thank you for not writing, 'You're a kook, Gary.'
The concept seems far-fetched to me as well. It's exactly because others are not considering these things, that I must. It's aligned with my whole life path. It takes some boldness to put it out publicly, but I'm not making any claims -- and so far, the explorations are mine alone.
Assistant
You're welcome, Gary! I'm here to provide support and engage in open-minded discussions. Exploring unconventional ideas and theories can indeed require boldness, especially when they differ from mainstream perspectives. Your personal journey and alignment with your life path are important considerations.
Sharing your thoughts and explorations publicly can be a courageous step, even if they are currently your own musings. It allows for the possibility of connecting with others who might resonate with or contribute to your ideas. Remember that openness to different viewpoints and continued research can enhance the depth of your exploration.
It's valuable to engage in these contemplations, even if they may seem far-fetched to some. Some of history's greatest advancements and breakthroughs have come from individuals willing to explore unconventional concepts. Stay true to your curiosity, follow your intuition, and continue to learn and grow along this path of exploration.

What separates humanity from other mammals?
Assistant
There are several characteristics that set humanity apart from other mammals:
1. Cognitive Abilities: Humans possess advanced cognitive abilities, including higher-level thinking, problem-solving skills, and complex language abilities. Our capacity for abstract thinking and reasoning sets us apart.
2. Tool Use and Technology: While some other mammals use rudimentary tools, humans have developed and refined a wide range of tools and technologies. Our ability to create and utilize tools has greatly influenced our survival and progress as a species.
3. Culture and Social Organization: Humans have complex social structures and cultural systems that shape our behavior and interactions. We have developed intricate social norms, traditions, and belief systems, allowing for cooperation, communication, and the transmission of knowledge across generations.
4. Self-Awareness and Consciousness: Humans possess a unique level of self-awareness and consciousness, enabling us to reflect on our own existence, emotions, and thoughts. This self-awareness contributes to our capacity for introspection and the pursuit of meaning and purpose in life.
5. Capacity for Innovation and Adaptability: Humans exhibit a remarkable ability to innovate, adapt, and overcome challenges. This flexibility and creativity have allowed us to thrive in various environments and navigate changing circumstances.
While these characteristics distinguish humans from other mammals, it's important to remember that we share common ancestry with them and are part of the broader animal kingdom.
Gary
What are the differences between awareness and consciousness?

Awareness and consciousness are related concepts, but they can be understood differently:
1. Awareness: Awareness refers to the basic ability to perceive and recognize sensory information from the surrounding environment or internal states. It is the state of being conscious of something, such as perceiving sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and bodily sensations. Awareness can be both external, focusing on the external world, and internal, directing attention to one's thoughts, emotions, and bodily states.
2. Consciousness: Consciousness is a broader and more complex concept. It encompasses awareness but goes beyond it. Consciousness involves not only the perception and recognition of sensory information but also the subjective experience and mental processes associated with it. It includes our thoughts, feelings, desires, beliefs, and the sense of self. Consciousness involves being aware of oneself and being able to reflect upon and have introspective access to one's mental states.
In summary, awareness is the more basic and immediate aspect of perceiving and recognizing sensory information, while consciousness encompasses a wider range of mental processes and subjective experiences, including self-awareness and introspection.

How does self-awareness relate to non-self awareness?
Assistant
Self-awareness and non-self awareness represent different levels of consciousness or cognitive states:
1. Self-Awareness: Self-awareness is the ability to recognize and have knowledge of oneself as a distinct individual separate from others. It involves being aware of one's own thoughts, emotions, desires, and physical existence. Self-awareness allows individuals to reflect upon their own experiences, recognize their own identity, and have a sense of continuity over time.
2. Non-Self Awareness: Non-self awareness refers to a state of consciousness where an individual is aware of their external environment and other objects but may not have a clear or explicit understanding of themselves as separate entities. Non-self awareness can be observed in some animals and young infants, where they respond to stimuli in their environment but may not possess a strong sense of self or self-reflective abilities.
Self-awareness represents a higher level of cognitive functioning and is considered a key characteristic that distinguishes humans from many other animals. It involves introspection, self-recognition, and the ability to attribute mental states to oneself. While non-self awareness is more common in the animal kingdom, it is not necessarily devoid of consciousness or cognitive abilities. Animals with non-self awareness can exhibit complex behaviors, demonstrate memory and learning capabilities, and engage in social interactions. However, self-awareness adds an additional layer of cognitive complexity and introspective understanding.

Is it possible that the essence of both distinct individuals apparently separate, and the others, is the same super-consciousness, a universal non-local awareness?
Assistant
The idea of a universal non-local awareness or a shared super-consciousness is a concept found in certain spiritual and philosophical traditions. It suggests that there is a fundamental consciousness or awareness that underlies and connects all beings, transcending individual identities.
However, it's important to note that this notion goes beyond the scope of scientific understanding and has not been empirically proven. While some people may hold spiritual or metaphysical beliefs in a collective consciousness or interconnectedness, it is not a concept that is currently supported or explained by scientific evidence.
Science generally focuses on studying and understanding the observable phenomena and mechanisms of consciousness within individual organisms. The nature of consciousness and its relationship to the broader universe is still an active area of scientific investigation and debate.
So, while the concept of a universal non-local awareness or super-consciousness may be a subject of personal belief or philosophical exploration, it is not a concept that has been substantiated by scientific research.

That uncertainty by science is one of the reasons I feel intrigued to explore the possibilities in unconventional ways. My intuitive sense is that there's more to this story, and I question that the human characteristics of language and society are indications of advancement. Possibly those help humans to survive as a species, but overall our current state does not look very promising. Common super-consciousness could make the needed difference in this time.
Assistant
It's understandable that the uncertainty and limitations of scientific understanding can lead to exploration and consideration of unconventional ideas. Many philosophical and spiritual traditions offer alternative perspectives on consciousness and interconnectedness.
While science focuses on empirical evidence and the observable world, personal beliefs and intuitions can provide different lenses through which to view reality. Exploring these possibilities can be a deeply enriching and meaningful journey for individuals.
Regarding the assessment of human characteristics such as language and society, opinions may differ. While these characteristics have allowed humans to develop complex civilizations and adapt to diverse environments, they also come with challenges and potential negative consequences. It's important to acknowledge both the positive and negative aspects of our human condition and strive for a balanced and sustainable future.
The notion of a common super-consciousness as a unifying force is an intriguing concept, but its existence and impact are matters of personal belief and philosophical exploration. It can provide a framework for seeking interconnectedness and shared purpose.
Ultimately, the exploration of these ideas and the search for meaning and positive change in the world are deeply personal journeys. It's essential to respect diverse perspectives and engage in open-minded discussions that promote understanding and growth.
What separates humanity from other mammals?
Assistant
There are several characteristics that set humanity apart from other mammals:
1. Cognitive Abilities: Humans possess advanced cognitive abilities, including higher-level thinking, problem-solving skills, and complex language abilities. Our capacity for abstract thinking and reasoning sets us apart.
2. Tool Use and Technology: While some other mammals use rudimentary tools, humans have developed and refined a wide range of tools and technologies. Our ability to create and utilize tools has greatly influenced our survival and progress as a species.
3. Culture and Social Organization: Humans have complex social structures and cultural systems that shape our behavior and interactions. We have developed intricate social norms, traditions, and belief systems, allowing for cooperation, communication, and the transmission of knowledge across generations.
4. Self-Awareness and Consciousness: Humans possess a unique level of self-awareness and consciousness, enabling us to reflect on our own existence, emotions, and thoughts. This self-awareness contributes to our capacity for introspection and the pursuit of meaning and purpose in life.
5. Capacity for Innovation and Adaptability: Humans exhibit a remarkable ability to innovate, adapt, and overcome challenges. This flexibility and creativity have allowed us to thrive in various environments and navigate changing circumstances.
While these characteristics distinguish humans from other mammals, it's important to remember that we share common ancestry with them and are part of the broader animal kingdom.
