Dashboard discussion

Any topics primarily focused on metaphysics can be discussed here, in a generally casual way, where conversations may take unexpected turns.

“ True visionaries” seem to practice science, which is great. I would like them to explain in detail the Dashboard. That would stimulate me. I’ve said here what I sense it is: technology. How does science explain the Dashboard in detail?

I’ll say this respectfully: there is another way of knowing. It involves Seeing. Seers are all around us. Shamanism is seeing. (Ref: search: The Cosmic Serpent free PDF). Most humans experience this as vague intuitions. Some like Einstein take intuition to new heights. That is what I see this group doing with science, and I admire that.

I became meta-conscious that I was putting a pillow case on inside-out. Perhaps that was a post-shadow of this thread. It all gets so confusing.

Scientists bring up the rear, because their fields are so fragmented and do not stimulate imagination in the slightest. They are just now coming to ask some questions artists and philosophers were exploring at the turn of the 20th century. Theoretical physics does seem to be a rare exception to the rule. Anyway, I have given you my answer - the "dashboard" is what we co-create to represent the essential spiritual realm to ourselves. If you want more scientific precision, then I recommend Rudolf Steiner's "spiritual science".

I remember many years ago, I went into a trance while driving a truck. I did not come out of the trance until I arrived at my destination two hours later. I had no memory of the drive.

In the years since, I became aware of "windshield psychology." I've noticed that if I really want to know someone, an easy way to learn that is to take a highway trip with them. When we share a common view through the windshield, they tell me whatever I want to know.

It seems to me, based on personal experience, that reality is presented holographically. Assuming that, it seems possible that the brain is a holographic transceiver.
What you mean by dashboard or Dashboard?

Are you referring to this by BK?

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/ob ... dashboard/

Or references to Donald Hoffman from whom I think BK gets his view.

I am referring to the seven lecture course in Analytic Idealism.
