for - key insight / quote - the reason to love your neighbor - Donald Hoffman - The reason to love your neighbor as yourself is because - your neighbor IS YOUR (TRUE) SELF, just with a different headset. - And the only reason we have problems is - we don't realize how incredible you are. - So you are that which is creating this VR simulation with all of its beauty, all of its complexity. - All the complexity is you and you're doing it effortlessly.

adjacency - infinite intelligence - hologram metaphor - your neighbor is your (true) self - Deep Humanity motto - Join together (instead of Join us) - face behind the mask - Reflecting on this, it occurred to me that the Deep Humanity motto of "Join together, NOT join me/us" is deeply connected to what is being discussed in this annotation. - The problem with "joining me" is that it reflects we are still stuck in the ego reification paradigm while "join together" reflects awareness that the boundless intelligence is the true face behind the mask of each different species and each different individual of each species

for - key insight / quote - the reified ego is the root cause of all the problems in the world - we reify because we don't know who we REALLY are - Donald Hoffman - All the egoic stuff that we do causes all the problems in the world because - you don't know who you are. - You're creating this whole thing. - You're not a little player. - You're the inventor of this whole thing. - You have nothing to prove and - you don't need to be better than anybody else. - They're also master creators. - They're creating entire universes that they perceive as well. - And my own take on on this is that - you and I are really the same one reality - just looking at itself through two different headsets, - two different avatars and having a conversation. - And maybe that's what is required for this one infinite intelligence to sort of know itself.

• When we don't believe we can be this, we limit ourselves
  • That is, we suffer from self-inflicted poverty mentality
• When he says we are the one same reality,
  • he is echoing the common spiritual teaching of the holographic metaphor where
    • the one nameless is distilling itself in so many separate identities to know itself,
  • Similiar to many spiritual teacher's teachings
    • Alan Watts referred to it as God playing Hide and Seek with itself

Illumination = unfolding = revelation of the ORIGINAL THOUGHT! God's intention is love
