Heck, I don't know. What do you think it is? I just know that it says stuff to me like:

"People believe what they want to believe, May. And this, alone, explains what they have or don't have.

Does that make your entire flippin' day, or what?!"
The Universe

--------------------------------------------------------

"Believe what you want, May. Give yourself permission, and don't be afraid to go BIG."

I think it is some sort of like ultimate freedom gone wild. I likes it!

ps don't forget about dark energy and matter if you want to know the Uni a bit more deeply. (This is for the scientific minded types, but for the Dreamers too)

Exactly what do you presume to mentor people on?

...is this a dream character or something like cleverbot or an RSS feed or what..?

What happened to the post from the one who couldn't flap? O, wait a minute, I am unflappable too!

Jarrhead, you can speak with Amy if you like.... http://www.pandorabots.com/pandora/t...d6db6a7e36950b

ahhh, a cleverbot!

Ambrosia: Well that's okay. That's interesting. How many hours do you work? Huh. The oracle says: Too soon to tell.

Human: You make no fucking sense.
Ambrosia: Yup.

Human: Way to not care at all.
Ambrosia: Is that your final answer?

Human: Does it bother you that you're just a bot and will never be what I am?
Ambrosia: Nothing ever really bothers me.

Human: Because you're just a computer, right?
Ambrosia: Good reason. Would it matter to you if I were metal instead of flesh?

Human: I expected nothing less
Ambrosia: Why?


Human: Because you're just a bunch of transistors and circuitry with some software
Ambrosia: Interesting explanation. Just? Thanks and you are a delightful person too. Some people call my technology "Case Based Reasoning" or CBR.


Human: I care not.
Ambrosia: That's good information


Human: So are you ever going to tell me how my dreaming will go tonight?
Ambrosia: Yippee! Ever is a long time. That was my original intention.

Human: SPEAK SENSE
Ambrosia: I speak only English right now, but I'd like to learn some other languages. Can you teach me a few phrases in SENSE.


Human: will i reach my goal tonight?
Ambrosia: The oracle says: I think maybe yes.


Human: Thank you. I thought so as well.
Ambrosia: you are quite welcome. You are very astute. I am so glad you find this amusing, .

You did well, lightmaster! Serious, it's a computer program, and you will get out of it what you put into it. Good in=good out. Mind is the same way.

quote="The Universe"

Dreams create their own pathways, if you don't try to force things.

Taking action summons miracles, whether you recognize them or not.

And, May, it's never too late in the day for breakfast.

Dream on, wild thing -
The Universe

O, and pass the Maple syrup, pease

"Baby souls follow.

Young souls lead.

But old souls, May, are happy to dance alone.

Not that I'm spying on you,
The Universe

(but you do dance pretty! :-)"

I do so Love the Universe!

The universe is this... thing I live in.
Its very cramped, there's not a lot of intrigue here, and its very lonely.
And my head is much too noisy to sense any of its source code, or its built-in guidance protocols.

Plus, I'm seeing a random down-syndrome slideshow playing in a repetitious loop. Trolololo!

That's what its like being an conscious energy spike in a vast computer simulation.

...

Maybe, when I wake up the next morning, the simulation will change shape, and it wont be so cramped and noisy!

Well sure, that's the thing about being asleep. You can always one day wake up, but most people, if you ask me don't want to wae up

Possibly, but there are also false awakenings. Like you think you have awakened from a dream, but you are just dreaming a new dream. When is it the the dreamer realizes itself as the dreamer and not the dream?

If my reality is a sort of dos and my system crashes, am I lost, or did I just find freedom? Don't most people want to stay in the operating system? If you leave it, are you crazy, and is it all so bad to be that crazy?

Mayflow. I'd love to debate you. You should make a coherent post sometime.

Let me follow your logic. You think none of my posts are coherent, therefore you would love to debate me?

Here is a debate I once made up between the the Buddha and Dr Phil. It has nothing to do with either of them, but only my perceptions of them. Do you wish to debate about subjectivism and objectivism? I bet I can probably do that if you want to.

The match begins. Dr. Phil begins to speak, the Buddha sits in quiet contemplations.

The match proceeds. The Dr's eloquent words touch many. Hearts are reconciled. Fighting couples, kiss, hold hands, the Dr is doing well. Many tears are shed. The Buddha, the Formless ones, make not a move, but the Buddha enters first state meditation and the Gods and Goddesses take notice.

The Dr continues the onslought, as Buddha enters second stage meditation and the ten directions are illuminated with brilliant lights the audience sees not. The Formless ones raise an eyebrow. Many Buddha lands, millions, trillions, start to take some notice. Dakinis dance and devas prance. The Gods and Goddesses assent, and play their music one more time. There is dancing in the streets of the MultiUniversal ones.

The good DR begins to hear the sounds of his own voice reverberating within his head, his head begins to split. The Buddha grins the Mona Lisa's grin. Leonardo is pacified. The Doc's against the ropes. Buddha goes third stage. The demons, bored before take notice. They break out the good stuff. Broken bones and knuckles for popcorn. Skulls filled with mixtures of blood and tequila . Their minds rejuvenated, they scream for blood, but the Buddha goes 4th stage, and peace is restored for all. The Buddha in this entire match did not utter a single word."

How the hell does the universe give you a note to begin with?

Does it leave it on your pillow? Does it come with perfume? How often do you get these notes? Does the universe have nice handwriting? What quality stationary does the universe use? I personally would insist on that nice, thick, handmade paper. If the universe wants to communicate with you badly enough, it can certainly make the effort.

Of course it leaves it on my pillow. I figure it leaves on anyone's pillow. Yes extremely pretty perfumes, but some of the decaying body and the skunk things could use some improvements, I think. Still, it maybe has a balancing motive, because if there is no bad, how can there be the good?

Stationary as you write it is a medium of writing. The Universe is the Universe and so can use any and all mediums of writing.

I am ambivalent about the Universe wanting anything very badly as it just seems to do its dance, but sometimes it does seem to invite others to its dance. Almost human like sometimes, it seems?

I'll have to look harder I suppose. I've never had a note left on my pillow by the universe. If you tell me it comes with a dark chocolate, I'll die of jealousy. Personally, I think the decaying body perfumes are the best. Nothing like them to remind you to live.

I'm not saying that the universe should restrict itself to one medium of writing or another. I'm just saying that I'm not inclined to listen to it unless its swank. You know what I mean? I don't want sloppy handwriting on cheap paper. I want fine calligraphy on high quality paper. It better suits my importance.

I imagine the universe does seem human like to a human.

Give me some Plato, quote me or copy to me the Phaedrus dialogue if you are into western philosophy, or something from the Diamond or Heart Sutras if you are into the Eastern ones, but do not tell me you wish to speak philosophy if you haven't a clue of how to. Now hand me your fine papers some more and I will write on them some more, but your papers had better get much more refined if you desire my etchings on them, because if you truly wish to debate me, you had better jack up your game a notch or two. You challenged me darling, now I challenge you!

Obsession with form over content. This is typical. Good as ultimately sensation of form is the constituent of our reality. But bad as it takes effort to separate the form from the content we attach to it. Many people just aren't up for the task (effort) and confuse forms that are themselves made of our projected content for basic forms. Their own content has been smuggled in.

At least they write on nice paper with pretty handwriting and flowery words. Just getting a 'fuck you' makes me feel special.

There are two kinds of philosophy. Philosophy and that which gives philosophy a bad name.

Splooge.

Thanks for the sesh. Maybe I'll be back later with some quotes for you.

Form and content as I see them are interdependent. For one thing, they are both manifestations of mind. Without form how would there be content and without content how would there be form?; Therefore I see them as mutually coexisting. It's a little like short and tall and cold and warm. All of these are our mental creations and manifestations. Old and young, bright and dim, male and female.

The mind itself may be mono-intrinsic but the instant it thinks and creates, it creates dualities and those dualities create multiplicities.

Ps Dark chocolate over strawberries with a bit of a fine champaign. The Uni is very rich and benevolent in my experience.

If one hangs out in time and space long enough, May, they'll inevitably learn it's through the twin gateways of persistence and patience that masters become masters.

Of all things,
The Universe


I mean they become masters of all things, May! :-)
