Can we upload ourselves to the digital realm?

Human beings are emotional beings. Although we pride ourselves on our intellect, our intellect is an “auxiliary tool” to receive, organize, sort, and prepare our emotions and the sensory input we receive through our senses.

Our “matter,” the engine that drives us, is a “primordial desire” for individual existence and for insatiable and ever-growing individual fulfillment through myriads of different “sub-desires” we can categorize as food, sex, family, wealth, control, respect, and knowledge.

In a different way, we can also say that our “primordial desire drives us towards learning and achieving “true love and infinite happiness/fulfillment,” while we have an even deeper desire — awakening in many people — that drives us towards revealing and fulfilling our actual and overall purpose in life.

These deeper desires for “true love,” infinite and conscious fulfillment, and towards the purpose of life are uniquely human desires.

It does not matter what we think about ourselves and how proud we are of our intellectual abilities. Everything we ever do is driven by our desires, and our sub-conscious and aware consciousness serves our desires.

Thus, “uploading our consciousness” into the digital realm, which is based on very simplistic calculations and decisions, is useless since we cannot upload our primary part, which is the emotional part. This is also the reason why AI — regardless of how developed it gets — cannot become “humane” and replace human beings since AI will never be able to “feel” and act like humans.

At this stage, we also cannot feel and act like “truly Humans” since we are still locked into our inherently and 100% egocentric, subjective, and self-serving cocoons. The desires and emotions we work with and feel are very limited and preliminary. In truth, we do not even have a clue about what “true love” or “true happiness” is since we are using only our very limited and distorted, egocentric, and subjective tools and abilities.

In order to expand our emotional abilities — and with that, our consciousness that is based on our emotions — we need to build nature-like, mutually integrated, and mutually integrated interconnections with each other. We all need to become selfless and unconditionally serving “healthy cells” in a common and living integral organism — where each cell retains its independent awareness.

This way, by combining our emotional fields and starting to feel “true love” as a result of the perfect, selfless, and unconditional sense and service of each other, we will also generate a unique “collective consciousness” that will be based on this perfect, mutual “true love” we feel.

And it is the active generation and maintenance of this perfect “true love” between us, each feeling oneself perfectly fulfilled like in a mother’s womb while being also an active part of that mother’s womb, that will give us the most perfect and infinite sense of fulfillment.
