Some people that crossposts between this board and /x/ may be already familiar with the works of John Paolucci, but for those who aren't here's a quick summary of what Universal Line is about by the author himself:>UL is philosophical and metaphysical information which falls in the category of personal transformation. It not only gives you the biggest picture of the universe and your place in it but recommends the most practical thing to do about it – what I call commanding your universe. Though there may be references to traditions of knowledge or similarities to New Age teachings now and then, it’s not based on any of them. Its basis is your personal private confirmation of self-validating fact – more specifically, ONE thing. >Everything is your own private dream. I've been investigating everything being my private dream as one all-person, keeping my feet on solid ground by staying only with common-sense mechanical facts. You may find it refreshingly direct. >Another important point is that my materials are not meant to be brushed by with a quick read. With all the text that is thrown our way every day on the internet, it’s understandable that we brush through text. With the UL information, however, you’ll find out soon enough that careful consideration is a must. You have to slow down and put on your thinking cap. You’ll come back, again and again, to find things you didn't know were there before. Doing such is the core of your progress with UL. A secondary action for progress is your daily ten-minute command session where you go beyond study and act on what it means to be ONE All-person, which turns out to be the simplest most comfortable thing you could do.A compilled PDF with the Universal Line texts and materials can be found here: https://mega.nz/folder/ynhGVQKD#Xb0goLFuVD7HVaVfj0KrqQAny thoughts /lit/? Users enthusiastic about subjects like Subjective Idealism and Nonduality may be find the ideas attractive.
>>25206060How can one use mechanical facts as proof when they're merely the filters of conscious experience and not the thing-in-itself?
meds
>>25206084Because the mechanical facts refers to the last reference field across it all where everything happens, which is actually what "you" really are. Consciousness, experiencing his own mental content, made from its own awareness. Basically taking Non Duality to the extreme end, and recognizing that experience happens inside of an undivided whole, even if you imagine and then experience apparent separation. Of course, from here we also have to talk about intention, the universe being mental, and how reincarnation really works, in the bigger picture.
What is UL's take on german idealism? Hegel, fichte, etc.
>>25206133Iirc Triumphant George (another prominent user which drew the same conclusions as Paolucci) interpretate Kant's ideas as the world being akin to experiencing our own mental landscape and the patterns contained within our awareness, solidified trough intentions and habits (conciously or not), or something along those lines.
What does UL make of Jungian synchronicity? Will only add that paranormal phenomenon start to make theoretical and functional sense when one considers the world actually operating by dream physics and potentiality rather than under brute atomistic materialism.
>>25206239>What does UL make of Jungian synchronicity?Not UL per se, but the George guy i mentioned before explains that synchronicity are spontaneuous patterns within awareness that arise in experience trough intentionally thinking about it with consistency and related aspects arising from it. Pic related is a cool exercise/experiment for creating intentional synchronicity. For UL it would be part of your dream.
>>25206262Where does traditional magic fall into this framework
>>25206286This is from my own understanding so far: You see how you can apply perennial knowledge to see how all religious traditions points at the same "thing"? Applying this to this stuff, say, the "manifestation" thing, LoA, Reality Shifting, Witchcraft and all sorts of "Magick" (which is what those traditions were actually doing in the first place), they also point to the same "thing". OBE experience is similar, how Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection and the like are all "inner returns" where you engange in a experience with all the senses but "resume" where you left off in the "waking reality". Structurally speaking, this is all the same process with the same core fundamental aspects:>What you are is One-Thing, consciousness, where experience arise. The world arises within yourself, within your awareness. >The thing that makes event to happen is intention, which is actually everything. You intend to lift your arm, the same way that you would partake a ritual to get a result, but if you can get result with any approach at all in the first place, then the approach itself is not the "thing", but the intention behind the act that makes the event arise, if we follow this trough. >Besides presence and intention, everything else is imagined, including the world which is understood here as your own "mental landscape". >This applies for "everyone", where every individual is actually a perspective living in its own self contained experience; each own in a personal private dream-world, on which can happen that they can dream anything and conclude anything, even neglection of wholeness, which remains true, even ignoring it. So there are no really "people" as such, just "God" experiencing the world he himself creates trough "all of us".>The story of life then, would be God forgetting its own identity to expand, becoming aware of wholeness you arise above limitations, which is what ascension actually is, pragmatically speaking.
>>25206307Anyway, what the major traditions of the past did was to offer metaphorical frameworks to understand the metaphysical world (philosophies), until the rise of industrialization ended up with materialism consigning itself as the "default" understanding of reality in the current state of the world nowadays. However, with enough experimentation (and some lurking here and there) you realize that our personal worlds are more malleable that we normally can concede them to be with ordinary knowledge. Back in the day of the ancients, you were expected to experience and live from that knowledge, but nowadays we define imagination incorrectly and think that it doesn't have any effect in the world, which is using the underlying mechanism of this stuff to perpetrate an experience that reflects that (if we follow this line of though all the way). Not much people are fully aware that a perspective fully adopted can shape our ongoing experience, maybe because of the implications that we are by ourselves on a self contained reality designed by our prior arrangements before our present life at this moment to rediscover this fact.
