This book provides a revolutionarily new concentric sphere model of both human and artificial intelligence. It is intended to dramatically improve understanding and framing of reality and thereby to increase our happiness through effectiveness at getting what we want out of life. No sphere is necessarily more important than another, rather what's important is the fact that we must focus on one and then another and still another, depending upon the urgency of the changing situation in any given sphere. It includes a new model of our mind, reality and AI. Based on diligent research, great effort has been made to stick only to the provable. So, to the largest extent possible this is a true elucidation of the realities of our existence. I am hopeful that it will improve the quality of our life experience and help prevent calamity and destruction. I also attempt to prepare for scenarios that we cannot control due to natural events. In addition, I hope to provide better understanding of human intelligence, artificial intelligence and the different aspects of our shared reality. Hopefully this will also provide a model that will improve the mental health of our world, our families and friends and especially those who suffer from delusion, PTSD, anxiety disorders and other maladies that proper framing and understanding of human intelligence (HI) as well as artificial intelligence (AI) may facilitate.The sphere approach brings a clear focus to the fact that it is not sufficient to "do the ostrich" and focus only on our business, or our family and friends and build our world only in that sphere, while we act like other spheres of reality are not important to our survival, because they are. Awareness of reality is vital to happiness, to mitigating risk and to achieving objectives. Can an artificial intelligence (AI) make intelligent decisions without an accurate awareness of the problem it is solving? No, and the same is true of human intelligence (HI). Even our techniques themselves for dealing with reality are learned by awareness along with creative thought. So, it is important to stay plugged in to all the spheres of life and what I offer you is a first attempt to preliminarily define them.What is this book's purpose?1)To help people cope with reality.2)To present a new sphere-based view of reality that encompasses all intelligences to help us to effectively achieve in each sphere of our reality.3)To demonstrate the parallels between artificial intelligence (AI) and human intelligence (HI) to help intelligences to understand themselves and AI and thereby to be more effective achievers and mitigators of risk.4)To provide a model for reality that enables intelligences to recognize and filter out delusion, to accurately perceive reality.Who is this book's audience?1)All HI interested in AI2)All AI interested in HI3)People seeking to understand our reality.4)All who seek to understand the human mind.5)Intelligences, including people that seek to be effective in accomplishing their objectives.

The entity's state of KNOWINGNESS in matters of the journey: remembering and returning, one's spiritual development, the purpose and direction, and its significance, remains up to God's Will and Pleasure to illumine and advance. Without God's Illumination, you do not understand that what you know and that degree of knowingness becomes the cage that holds you prisoner at all times, causing you to be your own worst enemy. It is a quagmire you cannot free yourself from, no matter what you may hear or come across. Without God's given Word, through His Messenger, you will never understand it, and there will be no interest or reason to do so. You will, in fact, be lost within yourself and not even know it. Individually and collectively, generation after generation, most of us have continued this same pattern of unawareness, as we transit from one to the next dream (world) state. We are trapped in a loop that is both the Whole within the Self, and the part within that Whole, each time we emerge to its surface. Each time we experience a state of consciousness, we become trapped in one of the many fractional and temporal, existential experiences held from within, and experienced from without. The entity has no recollection or memory of these fractional and temporal, existential experiences. Gradually, as the entity accrues virtues through The 2094 Sanction 57 the practice of ethical values, and a morally correct life-style, he or she experiences moments of clarity, fourth-dimensionally speaking, and is guided, discovering the Manifestation of God for the day and age of his or her emergence into a theater of life. This gradual process is part of one's awakening, remembering, and eventual return to one's higher Self. When the entity finally awakens and returns to Paradise, fully aware of his true Self, all thoughts and memories of former (dreams of) mortal worlds vanish. His attention is now focused on that which God, in His Infinite Mercy and Wisdom, has specifically designed for that particular entity. Since the entity is in an eternal companionship, the experiences of both entities will be coordinated to fulfill the Desire of God, the Creator, to carry out His Will and Pleasure. Whenever an entity leaves behind the worlds of illusion, they vanish without a traceas a tiny drop of water vanishes within an immense and immeasurable ocean. Were you, the reader, to have this experience of leaving the physical body and experience these Realms of Revelation, you would soon understand that nothing in this primitive world of time and space, life and death, with a diverse lack of attributes, has any true value whatsoever. The only worthiness found in these worlds within the Simulator is that they should remind the interacting participants (through their Soul-based awareness) that God is All There Is, for everything else is experienced as a vanishing point of vieweventually. Were it to be revealed to most of the people interacting and participating on any planet, as a unified system of intelligent life, the Beauty and the Joy eternally available in the Realms of God, all the persons sojourning there, would cease the moment to get to the Other side.
The public and private spheres are conceived to be separate and complementary, useful in understanding human experience and social phenomena, gendered and perhaps "natural". Taking the usefulness of this model as a focus, these essays ask how the spheres interpenetrate.
A deeply personal and compelling memoir that illustrates how the basic principles of Aikido can help us cope with the challenges of life outside the dojo Drawing from more than forty years of experience as an Aikido practitioner and teacher, Kathy Park explains how principles such as embodiment, grounding, centering, extension, 360-degree awareness, blending, and alignment can be applied to everyday life. Candid stories from her own life show how the purpose of practicing Aikido on the mat is to take it off the mat and into the world.
Seven Spheres by Rufus Opus Seven Spheres is more than a simple book of traditional Hermetic Magic. It is designed to be a series of rituals that function on many levels to take an average ordinary magician and turn them into a self-actualized powerhouse of proactive reality engineering. It's entirely about attaining initiation and empowerment in the highest levels of un-manifest reality. These experiences and rites result in the release of a floodgate of power that pour down through the layers of progressive manifestation, building up awareness, understanding, and ultimately raw potential as you move from sphere to sphere through the rites, ultimately culminating in the anointing of the magician as Priest-King directing the forces that climax in your personal daily experience of the Joy of your life. This book isn't about physical or spiritual mastery, it is entirely about understanding that you, personally, are beloved, honored, blessed, and highly favored of every intelligence, spirit, angel, and god of every sphere. This is about understanding who you are and what you can accomplish as a human being manifest upon the surface of the Earth. Spiritual enlightenment and material mastery will be yours, if you do the work described. "There are few in the field today that have both technical expertise and a genuine love of the spirits. A man who is as on-fire with the Holy Spirit as a tent-revival preacher, but who can make complex evocation instruction as clear as your ABC's. Rufus Opus is that kind of Priest-Magician. For years he has been making laying down his brand of hermetic magic with style and sass on his blog and in his courses. Now with this book, he will be blowing open the gates for an even wider audience." -Jason Miller, author of Sex, Sorcery, and Spirit "Rufus Opus is a frequent speaker and panelist at Crucible convention that features active magical leaders from known and exotic paradigms.

He is one of my go to authors for collected works on the topic." -Andrei Freeman Note: This book is a stand-alone series of rites that can empower you and change your life if you do the magical rites as described in the book.
