joint families. In India those who have joint families – I live with siblings and parents in a multi-floor house with a floor for each sibling family. We party, visit temples and celebrate festivals/holidays together and don't need anyone else to join us. We also catch diseases together and help each other out during such times. It was conscious decision to remain together and not something we inheritted.

It's interesting to reflect upon who is "I" presented with these experiences. Brain might be hallucinating in a given moment due to infection or something. But the witness "I" is ever-intact experiencing come what may.

You can ask him to try yogic and ayurvedic methods. AN excerpt from The Wellness Sense book (author: OM Swami) [0]:

>I've had patients successfully cure ulcers, cancers, migraines, obesity, hypertension, allergies, depression and many other ailments by following the principles I share with you in this book. I am not suggesting that Ayurveda is a panacea. No system of medicine is. But, when you combine the principles of Ayurveda with the yogic thought, you make a giant leap in your understanding of the human body and its wellbeing. In this book, I introduce you to a holistic system of health and wellness. My goal is not to give you herbal remedies, because once again I don't wish to treat the symptoms. Besides, I'm not a medical professional but a meditation specialist and a tantric practitioner. There are plenty of Ayurvedic doctors out there you can consult for medicine. Having said that, chances are, once you adopt the principles and practices I am sharing here, you will not need to see a doctor again. For a healthy and a long life, the ancient yogic thought offers you one of the most insightful, complete and scientific perspectives. I promise by the time you finish reading this book, you will look upon your body and your health in a new way. You will learn how to take care of it better, you will know how to lead a healthier life in our present world

treat him normally and let him explore the world with other senses. Such senses (especially hearing) in us develop with greater capability than others. Blindness isn't a difficult thing to live with in this age of high-tech, specially when one is blind from childhood, as one doesn't need to carry a baggage of emotions of suffering and has enough time to learn and build one's own path.

Make him also meet with fellow blind children and be part of the community once he's grown to a few years old. With them he'll experience the greatest ease.

Give him toys and tech with audio/haptic feedback and not necessarily ones which look extravagant in appearance.

Best of luck

Not exactly sure whether you meant it but here's the thing: energies rise up with meditation/pranayama. These give you sensations in different parts of the body most notably in your eyebrow/forehead/etc. Experiences like Hollow, digging, pricking, massaging etc.. I've not just experienced profound sensations, but I live with them. In every session I experience them daily. IN fact, I'm experiencing them right this moment while typing, in my forehead, a deep, hollow like sensation, as if some energies are digging some hole in the forehead. This is not painful or discomforting.

To me focus means to not move the eyes but to bring the attention in that area and be aware of the sensations there. For example, just bring your attention on your left foot big toe at this moment and suddenly you are now aware of your big toe which was not in your awareness otherwise. Just keep your awareness here and you're focusing on it.

Maybe you can try alternative medicine like ayurveda. Recently I heard an amazing podcast [0] with Dr. Rakesh in which he talked about regenerating neurons etc with Ayurveda. His contact details are in the video description.

This universe is an imagination of the cosmic mind behind which there is immutable conscious just like our dreams are imagination of our mind. Just like our dream, the universe is simulated inside the cosmic mind only.

At the subtlest level, we're one with that cosmic consciousness. Realization is experiencing that oneness (aham brahmasmi).

Just like in lucid dreams, we become aware that we're inside a dream and not a reality. upon awakening, one realizes the dream-like nature of this world. Then only, one becomes free from suffering which is caused by identification (attachment) to false (imagined) entities.

Only with experience the realization dawns and the mind is freed from its ignorance; intellectual understanding can neither brings such experience nor can break the ignorance of the mind.

At the core, we are pure awareness devoid of any object (thoughts). We can direct this awareness which we call the art of attention. We're pure awareness and we decide to attend something. However, to attend and receive information from the physical plane, we need appropriate instruments. Brains and its organs of senses are those instruments. If these instruments have fault, obviously we as awareness don't receive enough information and it seems our consciousness is reduced. In waking state, we receive info from physical senses. In dream state, these senses are in suspended mode but mind is active in imagining the experiences in a virtual world and hence awareness has an instrument. In deep sleep, even mind is in a state of rest and hence awareness has almost no active instrument. Still, we awareness does exist and thus we know that we had a good or bad sleep when we wake up.

For that I came up (or got inspired from somewhere) with this: I'm aware therefore I exist. Pure awareness, devoid of all objects (thoughts/visualization) is me.

IN Pakistan army decides and is the real ruler. Elections are only a face to appear as a democratic sate. In fact Pakistan elite (including army higher ranks) just is there to milk the country and build estates outside (West/UAE/etc).

2. set auto rrotate to off in notification window

3. turn on google assistant by tapping and holding the home key

Canada (or US) is no saint here. I think India is just learning these tactics from West. If you can't get the criminals and terrorist in front of your court because they operate from other countries which encourages such people and use them as a tool to interfere and destabilize your society, you are left with no option but to get rid of them using similar tactics.

NO. we repeatedly deny what our neurons demand, E.G. lust, violence etc. Granted, we end up falling for these impulses many a times, but we also deny them many times. The former occurs more with those who identify themselves with their impulses (desires); as one evolves one's mind and intelligence, one is able to resist and have a much better control on these impulses. AI as it stands only represents human brain; the mind is much bigger than brain with multitude of functions and don't get me started on consciousness, which is the chief ruler of all and beyond mind, space and time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S57DSgRWBRM

I also have an extension [0] in which I have couple of shortcuts to skip ads:

- alt+2 to click on Skip Ads button

- ctrl + shift + end to set video's 'seek position' at 100% (useful to skip ads when 'Skip Ads' button isn't available. This makes Youtube believe that the ad is finished playing)

I work lying down with a pillow acting as a desk for my keyboard (I don't have to look at the screen as I use screen reader software) so I guess I don't have to worry about it. It hurts my back sitting for long hours so I found lying down to be more comfortable working from home :)

Chakras are real so as Kundalini [0]. However, these aren't physical in nature, rather, they are on subtle body of consciousness. Now, that's not possible to prove scientifically yet, but with your dedicated regular practice, you can experience them yourself as this guy on HN did [1] which inspired me to start my own exploration (back in 2014) and have intense experiences which remains with me.
