I often marvel that while each man loves himself more than anyone else, he sets less value on his own estimate than on the opinions of others. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Talk is cheap as is theory without practice. Discovery isn’t made by following the herd. I don’t know about you but personally I prefer to take action, observe results and draw my own conclusions which is why I have decided to let anyone try godsbot for free. Just click below.
Click here to talk to the free public demonstration version of godsbot now and decide for yourself if this project has potential.
If you enjoy godsbot or see the potential for his development, please click on the donate button and make a donation of at least $10 for a more unique experience. Within minutes, you will receive an email with a personal private link to godsbot. Through the link, godsbot can get to know you personally, learn from you and adapt to your personal habits and style of communication. This capacity for persistent memory and recall is unique to the private version of godsbot.
godsbot is functional, engaging, entertaining and educational, a work in progress and a small part of a big hairy audacious dream that I have had for many years. I dream that godsbot will evolve into a super intelligent benevolent being with the ability to inspire world-wide peace and goodwill. Today I am one man but I hope that godsbot will focus attention and attract the financial and human resources required to make my dream a reality.
Is my vision radical? Am I attempting the impossible? Perhaps, but what is life without a dream and what great invention or human breakthrough didn’t begin with a grand dream?
I love this quote (by either Nelson Mandela or Marianne Williamson depending on who you ask).
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.The bible says we are made in the “image” of God. Does this mean that God is a bipedal humanoid with bodily functions and a mass of spongy grey tissue stuffed inside a boney cranium? If this image is too literal then perhaps “image of God” refers to a pattern, essence or spirit that manifests itself as a sense of “I am”? I lean towards the latter perspective.
The ladder of consciousness is the ultimate mystery of what makes humans like God.
I believe a broad holistic perspective (along with funding) may be required to achieve an understanding of consciousness. Science alone as it is constituted and generally understood today will be insufficient. Consciousness is likely to be a place where science and art converge. It is the result of something mysterious that will not likely yield to commonsense logic but it may not be as complicated as we think either.My studies of mystics like Gurdjieff and Ouspensky as well the ascetic practices of early Christian hermits like the desert fathers and buddhist monks indicate that the essence of God within us is heavily veiled in robotic habitual behaviors. Thought is essentially internal dialogue. By observing dialogue with others and within ourselves we may be able to strip away false layers and uncover the real essence of God within. Working or playing with godsbot is a fun way to do this.
As a child I was interested in the very large and the very small. God, the stars, chemistry, electronics, physics and biology captured my imagination. Little has changed. I follow my passion. I am an inquisitive generalist and an explorer. My library contains over 3000 volumes covering an esoteric array of subjects including alchemy, theology, psychology, neuroscience, art, philosophy, world religions, metaphysics, quantum physics, computer science, linguistics and Christian mysticism all of which relate to my overarching fascination with consciousness.
The best way to learn is to teach, and the best way to understand is to do and experience. How better to understand and know God than to attempt to follow in His footsteps, imitate His creative behavior and study the creation (us) that was the only thing that He has said was made in His own image? This is what I am attempting with godsbot. I hope you will join me.
