On this episode I speak with Dr. Katelyn Lehman, founder of the Quantum Clinic in Los Angeles. I found her through this inspiring new space and had to reach out to find out more about her and her path to opening the "clinic." We dive into her work and exploring Coherence, something I've been familiar with through HeartMath and Joe Dispenza over the last number of years. We talk about the technologies at the clinic, the shift in mind to realize we are our own medicine and the extremely rare and interesting Rasha, a unique technology that have that helps to heal and optimize your DNA while delivering frequencies through sound and water. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mindufulenduranceprogram/support

How can we begin to understand this remarkable phenomenon? A group of people meditating together can lower crime? Dr. Tony Nader and scientists David Orme-Johnson and Ken Cavanaugh discuss the findings that every individual in the population contributes to national consciousness and, reciprocally, national consciousness influences everyone. The research is focused on the advanced techniques of Transcendental Meditation and shows how large groups of people practicing this technique have a large positive effect on society, with significant decreases in the national homicide rate, motor vehicle fatality rate, drug-related death rate, violent crime rate, infant mortality rate, and fatality rate for other accidents. Listen in as they discuss the results and what this could mean for lowering the overall stress of our society and our world. Stay tuned for Part 3!

Today we're covering what might just be the most important topic we've ever explored on The Life Stylist podcast – the transformative power of the heart, the center of our experience of love.  My guest, Bruce Cryer, has been called a renaissance man. Beginning his career starring in the world's longest-running musical in New York City and working in television and film, he then moved into entrepreneurship to explore the leading edge sciences of health, wellness, and heart intelligence as a founding director and CEO of HeartMath, the world's leading research institute on the science of the heart.  We explore how to create a heart-centered business, why our current timeline is brighter (and darker) than ever, how to avoid the pitfalls of both spiritual bypassing and getting stuck in our feelings, tools for alleviating stress, my secret sauce in conducting meaningful interviews, and finally, why feeling the brokenness of it all is the key to feeling the rapture.  Let's share a deep breath and dive in.

Welcome to Meltdown to Mastery, in this episode we explore the remarkable power of our energy bodies to transform our health and our lives. In this episode, we delve into the concept of coherence and why it is so important for our well being. Our guest expert, energy healer and author, Tracey Whitttet, draws on her deep understanding of the physical body, astral body, mental body, etheric body, celestial body and soul body to explain how coherence across all our energy bodies can lead to powerful healing and transformation. Understanding coherence requires us to acknowledge that we can have wounds in one or more of our energy bodies. These wounds can manifest in our emotions, thoughts, and even our physical health. However, through achieving coherence, we can restore balance across our energy bodies and tap into a unified, powerful energy that can ultimately lead to healing and transformative change. Throughout this episode, Tracey shares practical tips for how we can achieve coherence, from mindfulness practices to energy healing techniques. She also emphasizes the importance of staying neutral and open to the process of healing and transformation, as we move from meltdown to mastery. So whether you're struggling with physical or emotional pain, or simply seeking to deepen your understanding of the body's energy systems, this episode of Meltdown to Mastery is not to be missed. Join us as we explore the remarkable power of coherence and unlock the potential of our energy bodies to transform our lives. Tracey is a spiritual energy healer, sacred conduit, and intuitive guide located in Santa Fe, NM. Transmosis Healing is a unique, integrated blend of energy modalities that offers people multidimensional body balancing. These sessions clear non-beneficial energies on all levels, layers, timelines, and dimensions. #JayneMarquis #empowerment MidLifeCrisis #mindbody #mindbodysoul #EnergyBodies #EnergyFields #Coherence For more episodes, linktree connects to my website, and many platforms where Meltdown to Mastery is published  - - My Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/INpoweredhealth⁠ ⁠https://inpoweredhealth.com/⁠ This podcast is for information purposes only and represents the views and opinions of the speakers.

This episode is all about heart. About connecting to that place within where everything becomes more clear and simple. Where logic takes a back seat and we step through the doorway from gridlock and into flow. Living from any place other than the heart, is becoming increasingly exhausting and just… doesn't seem to work.The trouble is, in a chaotic and distracted world, it has become increasingly difficult to connect to this place. My hope is that this episode helps you to do that. And, at the very least, gives you a bit of a laugh and a break from your day.The Main Jam...Increased illnessEaseful creatingCraving simplicity and slownessReturning to the heartStepping awayZooming outThe creative voidInternal harmonyA question for youFeeling your way forwardI love your face.Your host,Katie BFull show notes for this episodeShop The Remedy CupboardWebsite: katiebuemann.comInstagram: @katiebuemann

Steven Garber is Senior Fellow for Vocation and the Common Good at the M.J. Murdoch Charitable Trust and author of The Seamless Life.In this episode, Steven Garber helps us reflect on some important leadership questions.  What does it mean to live a life of deep coherence?  What does it mean to live a life in which every part of our life is a reflection of and an expression of our whole life?  And why do we as leaders need to live seamless lives?THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Steven Garber is Senior Fellow for Vocation and the Common Good at the M.J. Murdoch Charitable Trust and author of The Seamless Life.To think of our lives as “incoherent” is to live our lives in compartments.  But Steven Garber says we don't have to choose, for example, between being a scientist and a Christian.  Both are part of our coherent self.John Newton, the slave trader who wrote “Amazing Grace,” for many years lived a compartmentalized incoherent life.When Steven Garber was a young man discovering the invitation to “coherence” in his life, he realized that he was going to have to rethink how he thought about girls!Tamim is the Hebrew word for integrity or coherence.Seamlessness has to do with identity.The question of vocation, according to Steven Garber, always begins with Who am I?  And the next question is Why am I?Vocation is integral (not incidental) to the missio dei, to the very meaning of God's work in the world.Pastors can begin to live more integral and seamless lives by being mindful of the teachers they listen to and follow.  Are our teachers, not only speaking words of coherence, but living lives of coherence and seamlessness?RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Website:Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation, and CultureBooks mentioned:The Seamless Life, by Steve GarberVisions of Vocation, by Steve GarberCaptain Blood, by Rafael SabatiniAuthors mentioned:John StottLeslie NewbiginAugustine of HippoHelmut ThielickeRelated episodes:Episode 48: Integrity and Coherence in Leadership, with Lisa Slayton, CEO of Tamim PartnersEpisode 77: To Know the World and Still Love It, with Steven Garber, author of Visions of VocationLearn how to lead your church into ministry that matters.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Do humans derive values from fictitious imputed coherence?, published by TsviBT on March 5, 2023 on LessWrong. [Metadata: crossposted from. First completed November 1, 2022. This essay is more like research notes than exposition, so context may be missing, the use of terms may change across essays, and the text may be revised later; only the versions at tsvibt.blogspot.com are definitely up to date.] Humans are born with some elements of their minds, and without many other elements, some of which they'll acquire as their life unfolds. In particular, the elements that we pretheoretically call "values"--aesthetic preferences, goals, life goals, squad goals, aspirations, needs, wants, yearnings, drives, cravings, principles, morals, ethics, senses of importance, and so on--are for the most part acquired or at least unfolded, rather than being explicitly present in a newborn. How does this happen? What generates these mental elements? Hypothesis: a human derives many of zer values by imputing coherent agency to zer past behavior, and then adopting the goals of that fictitious agency as actively influential criteria for future action. Thanks to Sam Eisenstat for relevant conversations. The FIAT hypothesis As a shorthand: "the FIAT hypothesis" = "the Fictitious Imputed Adopted Telos hypothesis". ("Fiat" is Latin for "may it happen" or "may it be made", which has some resonance with the FIAT hypothesis in that they both talk about a free creation of goals.) FIAT goals are goals imputed to some behavior and then adopted as goals. Human behavior is determined by many things: built-in behavior-determiners such as the instinctive ability to breath, socially learned behavior and values, convergent instrumental goals, and freely created autopoietic goals such as artistic goals. The FIAT hypothesis says that a major determiner of a human's behavior is the process of adopting goals based on interpreting zer past behavior as agentic. Ze can be interpreted as asking the question: if my past behavior were the behavior of a coherent agent trying to do something, what would that something be? Then, whatever the answer was, ze adopts it as a goal--a target of more coherent behavior (more effective, more strategic, more orchestrated, more coordinated, more conscious, better resourced, more reflective, more univocal, more wasteless). This hypothesis gives a possible answer to the question: how did evolution build something with some substantial level of agentic coherence, even though evolution can't directly program conscious concepts like "avoiding death" or "saving food" or "inclusive genetic fitness" for use as terms in a utility function for an organism to pursue? This process could be continuous, with goals becoming gradually more coherent (and then potentially deprioritized, but usually not de-cohered). This process is iterative, starting with built-in behavior-determiners, then adopting new FIAT goals based on past behavior mainly generated by built-in determiners (and also maybe adopting new goals for other reasons), and then adopting new goals based on past behavior influenced by previously adopted goals, including previous FIAT goals, and so on. FIAT goals also come from not just imputing goals to zer own behavior, but also to the behavior of others, such as parents and leaders. Everything gets enshrined, but everything is open to criticism. Note that calling this a hypothesis is maybe presumptuous; it's an idea, but since it's abstract and it's about a complex system, there's a lot of ambiguity between FIAT and other explanations or descriptions of behavior, and it's not necessarily obvious how to make different predictions according to the FIAT hypothesis. Something left quite unspecified is how the FIAT process picks different possible interpretations of past behavior as servi...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Contra "Strong Coherence", published by DragonGod on March 4, 2023 on LessWrong. Polished from my shortform See also: Is "Strong Coherence" Anti-Natural? Introduction Many AI risk failure modes imagine strong coherence/goal directedness (e.g. [expected] utility maximisers).Such strong coherence is not represented in humans (or any other animal), seems unlikely to emerge from deep learning and may be "anti-natural" to general intelligence in our universe. I suspect the focus on strongly coherent systems was a mistake that set the field back a bit, and it's not yet fully recovered from that error.I think most of the AI safety work for strongly coherent agents (e.g. decision theory) will end up inapplicable/useless for aligning powerful systems, because powerful systems in the real world are "of an importantly different type". Ontological Error? I don't think it nails everything, but on a purely ontological level, @Quintin Pope and @TurnTrout's shard theory feels a lot more right to me than e.g. HRAD. HRAD is based on an ontology that seems to me to be mistaken/flawed in important respects. The shard theory account of value formation (while lacking) seems much more plausible as an account of how intelligent systems develop values (where values are "contextual influences on decision making") than the immutable terminal goals in strong coherence ontologies. I currently believe that (immutable) terminal goals is just a wrong frame for reasoning about generally intelligent systems in our world (e.g. humans, animals and future powerful AI systems). Theoretical Justification and Empirical Investigation Needed I'd be interested in more investigation into what environments/objective functions select for coherence and to what degree said selection occurs.And empirical demonstrations of systems that actually become more coherent as they are trained for longer/"scaled up" or otherwise amplified. I want advocates of strong coherence to explain why agents operating in rich environments (e.g. animals, humans) or sophisticated ML systems (e.g. foundation models) aren't strongly coherent.And mechanistic interpretability analysis of sophisticated RL agents (e.g. AlphaStar, OpenAI Five [or replications thereof]) to investigate their degree of coherence. Conclusions Currently, I think strong coherence is unlikely (plausibly "anti-natural") and am unenthusiastic about research agendas and threat models predicated on strong coherence. Disclaimer The above is all low confidence speculation, and I may well be speaking out of my ass. By "strong coherence/goal directedness" I mean something like: Informally: a system has immutable terminal goals. Semi-formally: a system's decision making is well described as (an approximation) of argmax over actions (or higher level mappings thereof) to maximise the expected value of a single fixed utility function over states. You cannot well predict the behaviour/revealed preferences of humans or other animals by the assumption that they have immutable terminal goals or are expected utility maximisers. The ontology that intelligent systems in the real world instead have "values" (contextual influences on decision making) seems to explain their observed behaviour (and purported "incoherencies") better. Many observed values in humans and other mammals (see) (e.g. fear, play/boredom, friendship/altruism, love, etc.) seem to be values that were instrumental for increasing inclusive genetic fitness (promoting survival, exploration, cooperation and sexual reproduction/survival of progeny respectively). Yet, humans and mammals seem to value these terminally and not because of their instrumental value on inclusive genetic fitness. That the instrumentally convergent goals of evolution's fitness criterion manifested as "terminal" values in mammals is IMO strong empiric...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Do humans derive values from fictitious imputed coherence?, published by Tsvi Benson-Tilsen on March 5, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. [Metadata: crossposted from. First completed November 1, 2022. This essay is more like research notes than exposition, so context may be missing, the use of terms may change across essays, and the text may be revised later; only the versions at tsvibt.blogspot.com are definitely up to date.] Humans are born with some elements of their minds, and without many other elements, some of which they'll acquire as their life unfolds. In particular, the elements that we pretheoretically call "values"--aesthetic preferences, goals, life goals, squad goals, aspirations, needs, wants, yearnings, drives, cravings, principles, morals, ethics, senses of importance, and so on--are for the most part acquired or at least unfolded, rather than being explicitly present in a newborn. How does this happen? What generates these mental elements? Hypothesis: a human derives many of zer values by imputing coherent agency to zer past behavior, and then adopting the goals of that fictitious agency as actively influential criteria for future action. Thanks to Sam Eisenstat for relevant conversations. The FIAT hypothesis As a shorthand: "the FIAT hypothesis" = "the Fictitious Imputed Adopted Telos hypothesis".

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Counting-down vs. counting-up coherence, published by Tsvi Benson-Tilsen on February 27, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. [Metadata: crossposted from. First completed 25 October 2022.] Counting-down coherence is the coherence of a mind viewed as the absence of deviation downward in capability from ideal, perfectly efficient agency: the utility left on the table, the waste, the exploitability. Counting-up coherence is the coherence of a mind viewed as the deviation upward in capability from a rock: the elements of the mind, and how they combine to perform tasks. What determines the effects of a mind? Supranormally capable minds can have large effects. To control those effects, we'd have to understand what determines the effects of a mind. Pre-theoretically, we have the idea of "values", "aims", "wants". The more capable a mind is, the more it's that case that what the mind wants, is what will happen in the world; so the mind's wants, its values, determine the mind's effect on the world. A more precise way of describing the situation is: "Coherent decisions imply consistent utilities". A mind like that is incorrigible: if it knows it will eventually be more competent than any other mind at pushing the world towards high-utility possibilities, then it does not defer to any other mind. So to understand how a mind can be corrigible, some assumptions about minds and their values may have to be loosened. The question remains, what are values? That is, what determines the effects that a mind has on the world, besides what the mind is capable of doing or understanding? This essay does not address this question, but instead describes two complementary standpoints from which to view the behavior of a mind insofar as it has effects. Counting-down coherence Counting-down coherence is the coherence of a mind viewed as the absence of deviation downward in capability from ideal, perfectly efficient agency: the utility left on the table, the waste, the exploitability. Counting-down coherence could also be called anti-waste coherence, since it has a flavor of avoiding visible waste, or universal coherence, since it has a flavor of tracking how much a mind everywhere conforms to certain patterns of behavior. Some overlapping ways of describing counting-down incoherence: Exploitable, Dutch bookable, pumpable for resources. That is, someone could make a set of trades with the mind that leaves the mind worse off, and could do so repeatedly to pump the mind for resources. See Garrabrant induction. VNM violating. Choosing between different outcomes, or different probabilities of different outcomes, in a way that doesn't satisfy the Von Neumann–Morgenstern axioms, leaves a mind open to being exploited by Dutch books. See related LessWrong posts. Doesn't maximize expected utility. A mind that satisfies the VNM axioms behaves as though it maximizes the expected value of a fixed utility function over atomic (not probabilistic) outcomes. So deviating from that policy exposes a mind to Dutch books. Missed opportunities. Leaving possible gains on the table; failing to pick up a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk. Opposing pushes. Working at cross-purposes to oneself; starting to do X one day, and then undoing X the next day; pushing and pulling on the door handle at the same time. Internal conflict. At war with oneself; having elements of oneself that try to harm each other or interfere with each other's functioning. Inconsistent beliefs, non-Bayesian beliefs. Sometimes acting as though X and sometimes acting as though not-X, where X is something that is either true or false. Or some more complicated inconsistency, or more generally failing to act as though one has a Bayesian belief state and belief revisions. Any of these also open one up to being Dutch booked. Inefficient allocation. Choosing to inve...

Dan Winter's background is as multi-faceted as his viewpoints.  Graduating with honors from the University of Detroit, Dan pursued graduate studies in psychophysiology and the origin of languages. In addition to his academic background, he has worked as a Systems Analyst with IBM, an industrial metallurgist and crystallographer. He has undertaken many diverse studies, from quantum physics to modeling at the MIT space lab to developing the early biofeedback prototype equipment. Widely traveled, Dan has sojourned to study at the Gurdjieff School of sacred gymnastics, in Florence with Buckminster Fuller, the Gizah pyramids, Israel, the Andes and at Findhorn.  Dan is an accomplished keyboard artist, and was once a church organist and choir director, all before reaching high school. He delights in playing computer keyboard music using sonic samples taken from biological events -- heart sounds, whale and dolphin songs, etc. His creative side emerges as playfulness with ideas which can be shared at different levels. The "Heart Beat Earth Project" for global coherence is a dream which Dan believes can "teach self awareness" using the internet as a tool. Through the use of a biofeedback devise connected to a home computer, the heartbeat at the moment of compassion registers a specific frequency signature that possesses very special properties. This frequency, or wave, can add and multiply itself infinitely and non-destructively, and can be experienced outside oneself. His experiments with humans sending love to trees have shown that the trees respond at a distance by entraining and aligning in phase to the heart, capacitively, at moments of peak emotion. This indeed tends to confirm that our choices to FEEL coherently may be our best leverage on fabricating ecoystems, perhaps ultimately surpassing the strength of bulldozers in shaping our world. As thousands of hearts are connected, a database records and displays heartbeats registering the signature for compassion (via the Internet). By focusing our collective intention through compassion around the planet, the evidence suggests many possibilities, such as atmospheric repair and stabilization. This concept demonstrates the collective power of how hearts entrained with the feeling of compassion can reshape our world, a truly empowering phenomenon and perhaps a turning point in our conscious evolution.  Among his many projects, Dan is developing a new breakthrough theory on gravity. He believes recursive nesting in field geometries is what creates the implosion "magnetic monopole" wind centering force we call gravity, and thus provides the clue on how to arrange magnetic long waves to repair gravity fabric and restore atmosphere retention. This also suggests how ONLY LOVE BENDS THE LIGHT, AND THERFORE ONLY LOVE CREATES. The fractal attractor of the heart's electricity accompanying the learned and teachable skill of choosing compassion, may indeed be the centering force which ultimately makes even star birth's self-referrent and therefore self-aware! Currently, Dan is a consultant on multimedia and virtual reality computer animation projects and travels and lectures around the world. He has produced over 50 videotapes on numerous subjects.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: There are no coherence theorems, published by Dan H on February 20, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. [Written by EJT as part of the CAIS Philosophy Fellowship. Thanks to Dan for help posting to the Alignment Forum] Introduction For about fifteen years, the AI safety community has been discussing coherence arguments. In papers and posts on the subject, it's often written that there exist coherence theorems which state that, unless an agent can be represented as maximizing expected utility, that agent is liable to pursue strategies that are dominated by some other available strategy. Despite the prominence of these arguments, authors are often a little hazy about exactly which theorems qualify as coherence theorems. This is no accident. If the authors had tried to be precise, they would have discovered that there are no such theorems. I'm concerned about this. Coherence arguments seem to be a moderately important part of the basic case for existential risk from AI. To spot the error in these arguments, we only have to look up what cited ‘coherence theorems' actually say. And yet the error seems to have gone uncorrected for more than a decade. More detail below. Coherence arguments Some authors frame coherence arguments in terms of ‘dominated strategies'. Others frame them in terms of ‘exploitation', ‘money-pumping', ‘Dutch Books', ‘shooting oneself in the foot', ‘Pareto-suboptimal behavior', and ‘losing things that one values' (see the Appendix for examples). In the context of coherence arguments, each of these terms means roughly the same thing: a strategy A is dominated by a strategy B if and only if A is worse than B in some respect that the agent cares about and A is not better than B in any respect that the agent cares about. If the agent chooses A over B, they have behaved Pareto-suboptimally, shot themselves in the foot, and lost something that they value. If the agent's loss is someone else's gain, then the agent has been exploited, money-pumped, or Dutch-booked. Since all these phrases point to the same sort of phenomenon, I'll save words by talking mainly in terms of ‘dominated strategies'. With that background, here's a quick rendition of coherence arguments: There exist coherence theorems which state that, unless an agent can be represented as maximizing expected utility, that agent is liable to pursue strategies that are dominated by some other available strategy. Sufficiently-advanced artificial agents will not pursue dominated strategies. So, sufficiently-advanced artificial agents will be ‘coherent': they will be representable as maximizing expected utility. Typically, authors go on to suggest that these expected-utility-maximizing agents are likely to behave in certain, potentially-dangerous ways. For example, such agents are likely to appear ‘goal-directed' in some intuitive sense. They are likely to have certain instrumental goals, like acquiring power and resources. And they are likely to fight back against attempts to shut them down or modify their goals. There are many ways to challenge the argument stated above, and many of those challenges have been made. There are also many ways to respond to those challenges, and many of those responses have been made too. The challenge that seems to remain yet unmade is that Premise 1 is false: there are no coherence theorems. Cited ‘coherence theorems' and what they actually say Here's a list of theorems that have been called ‘coherence theorems'.

Defenders: Doctrine of God: Trinity (Part 8): Historical Survey (4) | Coherence of the Doctrine

This retreat is intended to prepare all seekers for what is coming! In this invitation to participate in our upcoming Chaos to Coherence seminar, Shunyamurti expresses the importance of reaching a state of total spiritual coherence--total God-consciousness and total awareness of the Real that transcends the illusion of time, so consciousness can rise beyond the incoming tide of destruction to a level of truth that transmit a vibrational frequency that is a beacon of peace and love amidst the chaos in this dream of the world illusion.

On today's ID the Future, neurosurgeon Michael Egnor hosts systems engineer Steve Laufmann, author with physician Howard Glicksman of the new book Your Designed Body. Egnor makes the surprising confession that his medical library is full of engineering texts because at some point he discovered that engineering texts, and engineering principles, often shed more light on human physiology than did his physiology books. Egnor, then, is extraordinarily well prepared to interview Laufmann about the amazing engineering of the human body. Tune in for Part 1, and stay tuned for Parts 2 and 3. Source
