Yep. The journey into the rabbit hole is painful as entire worldviews are blown to bits but enlightening as truth starts kind of washing over you.

Consciousness is like a flower, with many petals.

There seems to be a kind of consciousness that occurs in sleep. Possibly also in certain induced states like meditation.

There also seems to be a sort of basic, fundamental continuity even in a non-dreaming state. (There may be some exceptions to that observation, such as deep anesthesia or coma.

Yes, enlightening, liberating and quite frankly you begin to realize, if you're being truthful w yourself that is, that they're the ones that are messed up not you. At least that's how it came to me. But it's a neverending rabbit hole, it keeps going deeper and if you continue following it, it becomes a life's work. You work on yourself. For the more you learn, the more complex it is. It is next to impossible to be highly successful today completely on one's own. That is not necessarily a negative trait. No man is an island.

As far as our military is concerned, it's become weak and woke, deliberately so. However, the military leadership has become weaponized politically in accordance w the DS.
