Btw, synthetic life was achieved 8 years ago already if your definition of "artifical intelligence" isn't limited to computers.
No. An unconscious human being is an unconscious human being.
Also it's not my opinion. It's just is.
Synthetic life? Wavelength? Sorry I just don't know how it applies here . . .

You don't 'imagine' when you meditate. Mediation stops thoughts. That's the entire point . . .
"Feeling real is not the same thing as being real? "
Actually feeling is a pre-cursor to 'being'.
DaVinci "felt" something so he painted the Mona Lisa
The Wright Brothers "felt" that they could fly so the plane came into being.
You "FELT" that there is something here that clashes with your current perception of life,
hence this post came into 'being'.
Everything is 'FELT' before it comes into existence.
I "FELT" your struggle for clarity, so I provided an answer.
In "I FELT", that "FELT" was my "consciousness". We're all part of the same material, that's why I felt it.
The "I" is just a placeholder. There is no "I".
