What is Buddha Mind? How does Active Inference relate?

It might be just very lagged, but then how can that happen? Anyways, doesn't matter. Okay. Okay. Well, it should be like recording, I hope, from this part on at least. And yeah, welcome. Thanks for suggesting to do it. And just feel free to kind of start off however you want. All right. Thanks for hosting this and thank you for joining. So where do I start? I'm trying to attack a fairly big topic here of connecting essentially the Eastern contemplative traditions with the very Western scientific rational point of view. So, you know, the good start would be to, I guess, to explain really what Buddhism is and rather than what it appears to be. Right. Like ultimately, Buddhism is a technology of mind. It simply is teaching about the nature of reality. And the whole structure that grew around it so that it became religion is kind of a vehicle that was necessary to propagate the teaching through the ages. And it was, you know, it was a structure that was necessary to keep it going, keep it clear, keep it reproduced over, you know, across generations and so on and so forth. And anybody who understands the teaching gets the key to reality. And this is the realization of a sort of like a Buddha mind, your realization of your true nature. And then you sort of get the keys to the kingdom. You have control over your own reality. Basically, any reality that you want to experience becomes a choice of the mind. And it's a very desirable state of mind. And this is the state of mind that enlightened beings that already are in. And there are lots of them and, you know, countless, countless, countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but we don't see them because they don't exist in our realm. And it's just a matter of essentially perception. And it's a change in perception as a result of experience and as a result of knowledge and experience that's necessary in order to transition into, you know, the full capacity of mind, which is simply that mind generates reality. Reality, there's no such thing as material reality from the Buddhist perspective. And I can argue that there is no such thing as material reality from the perspective of, you know, physics. It's simply, you know, what reality is, it's what we experience as reality, the qualia. It's simply what the fundamental fabric of the universe, which is the universe itself, the computational kind of fractal that the universe is, you know, appears to itself. It has to appear as like something. So it appears as some kind of experience. And what that appearance is also is kind of arbitrary. So, you know, realization of the Buddha mind and, you know, entering nirvana is essentially a state of mind where what you experience, at least visually, it's something kind of like looking at an extremely high quality HDR video on an OLED screen at, you know, 120 FPS. And that's with full control of you creating that reality for yourself in just about as deep capacity as you want, you know, like you have infinite compute capacity to do that. That's the kind of experience of an enlightened being, you know, from the Buddhist perspective. And the point of Buddhism is essentially a teaching how to get there. It's about how to realize that an active inference and the free energy principle is exactly the key to the kingdom. That's exactly how we get there. So, you know, the free energy principle, it's there are many, many different ways to summarize, you know, what it states. But in one useful quote that always comes to my mind is from Frank Herbert's Dune. It's a proverb of the Ben-Agezerit that be prepared to appreciate what you experience. And this is essentially, you know, kind of a very contemplative meditative statement of the free energy principle. You have to be prepared to appreciate. So you have to have a transcendental knowledge of some sort, a knowledge of something that you might experience. You may experience something that you have not experienced before. You know, you feel a new basis for describing your…
