  • Imagine waking up from a simulated reality where everything you know is interpreted and never truly experienced. Is it possible the reality you’ve known for the last few decades is no reality at all? In this episode, Donald Hoffman returns and takes a deeper dive with Tom to discuss the complexities of consciousness perceived in and out of spacetime. Donald shares the possibilities of consciousness and the infinite nature of theories that exist outside of the virtual reality headset he uses to describe the version of reality you may still be experiencing. Take the plunge into this conversation and challenge the consciousness of what you call your true self.

    QUOTES:
    “ Science has not yet been studying objective reality outside of our space time virtual reality, that from an evolutionary point of view, was just evolved as a way for us to play the game of life, and stay alive long enough to reproduce, not to show us the truth.” [8:06]
    “That's what spacetime is. Spacetime, the sun and the moon, physical objects, everything that we see inside of space and time is just our visualization tool. The reality we're interacting with is nothing like the visualization tool. There's nothing like space and time. It's a whole network of interacting conscious agents outside of space time, a vast social network. And we've made the rookie mistake of assuming that our headset, VR, our visualization tool, is the final reality.” [17:55]
    “no matter how much consciousness explores its possibilities, it could never come to the end of its own possibilities. And so it's in a never ending self exploration.” [31:22]
    “And right now we're sort of stuck on this little headset, three dimensions, small amount of color that we can see and so forth. Just, we thought it was the whole world. No, it's just it's a little headset.” [33:08]
    “So the reason I'm doing this is because I can't even imagine a specific color that I've never seen before, I can't imagine in four dimensions. In other words, I take it as a given that I'm deeply, deeply limited in my imagination. And I need all the tools I can get to help me step outside of my headset and try to guess, the unfathomable outside of there.” [52:47]
    “There seems to be reward for absolute silence, no concept whatsoever, and out absolute precision on the other hand. And there's no reward for sloppy thinking in the middle.” [1:51:57]
    “don't hold on to anything dogmatically right as that's the sort of the point explore and then be the first to kill off the things that you know really don't make sense don't don't hold on to them so it's an anti dogmatic point of view” [1:54:37]

    This reminds me of what Neville Goddard always talks about. Like outside of this reality, we still exist but don't know about it. According to Neville when he gets out of this reality, he meets people he knew in this reality that were dead but they don't know they were dead and thinks he was crazy. We might actually be in a dream. Outside of this space and time, there just might be a parallel reality existing simultaneously. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced. What I am trying to say is: Outside of the headset, we still exist but in a different reality....and it goes on and on to infinity. Think about it🧠

    “There’s billions of humans and there are billions of ways in which we explore.” I couldn’t help but correlate this part of the interview with the book I’m reading. I’ll preface this next part by sharing that I am not religious but I do consider myself spiritual. This is not a religious book I’m about to quote, but rather one that can take on various ideologies. In the book “Conversations With God” by Neale Donald Walsch, it says, “It is your soul’s only desire to turn its grandest concept about itself into its greatest experience. Knowing something, and experiencing it, are two different things. Spirit longed to know itself experientially.” So again - I am not religious but rather curious. It seems as though we are here to create and experience. I guess the biggest question is why.

      Because God serves us when we are star seeds. When we are "soul serching" in the astrological world. But when we become planted in a conscious world we become born into physical matter. "Our bodies" we then are here to serve God and his purpose for creating our star seed or our soul. Maybe it's to perfect the souls that never die.
      When God sees his souls who have perfected themselves maybe that's when we go to Heaven!
      What's the purpose of existing in heaven if that's all are souls are doing?

Tom will let guests speak for very long periods of time to let their thoughts fully flow and come to full fruition (so to speak) to allow them to express their full thoughts on any given subject and without interruption. I'm guessing if Tom's interrupting a lot in this video, Tom's super pumped about this subject so this video mustl be worth while watching.

    Reminds me of an acid (LSD) trip where time and individuality don't exist; "You" haven't an identity, only conscious thought expanding in an infinite soup; conscious thought travels out beyond, then back to present awareness, then expands out again, repeatedly - correlating and connecting "all thoughts" logically to everything.

      With all due respect. How can you possibly imagine something that is in fact unimaginable? I mean, the very fact that something is unimaginable means that whatever you do imagine can 'never' be seen to be the truth. That your imagination is in fact nothing more than 'self delusion'. And that as such, the sooner you are able to get rid of your imagination, the better it will be for you. As of course once you do, you will then be able to successfully connect with what you have long been looking for (trying to imagine). Andrew.

    Interesting... I'm just starting on this but I can say that Buddhism has addressed this completely. Buddhist philosophy already describes our world as illusory and states exactly how manifestation occurs. They also understand how we ended up in this video game and how we can get out of it. Beyond that, dedication too much time to trying to understand what's outside it tends to drive people insane. We should concentrate more on understanding cause and effect in this reality, compassion, and becoming a Buddha ourselves.
    As far as being "stuck" in the headset... You are here because you don't have the metal fortitude and stability to be without it. This is likely why those who contemplate what's outside it go crazy. You don't have the facilities yet to understand it. I see the headset as more of a crib and our bodies as an anchor for our undeveloped and unstable consciousness. We are like babies in terms of our overall development and we can't even understand what it's gong to be like to "grow up".

    One can never connect with reality by 'thinking' about it. You have to simply 'BE' it. And in order to simply 'BE' in contact with reality, your mind must of course BE 'absolutely still'. Something that is not in fact that difficult for us BE-ings to achieve. Once you have realised that your constantly wandering/thinking mind, is in fact the one and only real barrier that you need to break down in order to access reality.

    It's awesome to see you so pumped Tom!! And I completely agree this is groundbreaking literal reimagination of how we can interact with our world!!
    So I have some thoughts about becoming the coder, and I'm not certain they can be observed. My only interaction with the mainframe has come from within. There are some brilliant people using brainwave readings while people are in these hyper gamma states of introspection to begin mapping the landscape, but I wonder if it is like a radio telescope observing a quasar, you know?
    I stick with what I know, I know that my conscious mind is a spotlight, and my subconscious mind, which is 95% of what I think and feel is a flood light, if if I use turn my spotlight on to my floodlight and examine why I feel, why I do what I do and rewrite that. That within my virtual reality self, rewriting my experience. Option number two, again strictly my intuition, we exit the game having completed all levels achievements and merits and we can go to the mainframe with the idea in our mind that we won! We won the game and we wish to transcend that experience and become a coder. Now I'm still working on how I can merge those two states of awareness so that I can have both right here, but I have not figured this out yet.
    Just the other day I'd had an intuition that our ultimate goal as human beings is to be the coder, to literally make our thoughts real instantly! Right here right now, and that's what I believe.. (Btw I'm sure you rewatched this and were cognizant in hindsight, but you skewed into a 3 minute rant in the beginning of the interview! Lol. Ultimately I have control of the playback but I found it inspiring how totally into it you were!)

Practice this, sit in stillness / silence allowing whatever thoughts appear to appear and don’t identify with them. They will pass through awareness, awareness won’t pass. Abide in absolute presence and not in thoughts, reclaim consciousness from the ego mind and be still within awareness as the awareness. Know your true self and all will be known. This is something you can experience directly by simply doing this practice and you will understand what I mean.

    Hands down one of the most interesting conversations I've ever watched on YT. Tom's t-shirt is also very compelling. 😂😉 I especially liked (and agreed with) what he said about our narrow view of aliens. I think a conversation between him and Eric Weinstein might also be quite interesting. 🤔

    Thank you, Tom and Donald, for a wonderful presentation. The "time" has come; the materialist paradigm of reality is dying. Consciousness is the foundation of our Being.

    I've been watching you being interviewed by many, and Tom seems very engaging and knowledgeable and curious at the same time.
    One question - how come you don't touch on the subject of dreams. I expect you to have interesting thoughts on this topic. Strangely you've never been asked anything about it.
    Thanks to both of you!

    Great upload, thank you so much for this one. I'm so in love with the quantum field. It was placed in space-time here. My consciousness got quite a bit of separation anxiety there, not knowing at present what it would communicate with without it :) Of course that's sussed somewhere, or doesn't consciousness communicate outside space-time? Perhaps it just is, and doesn't need to bounce off something. Okay, now the many questions in my little brain start clocking in, one after the other. Time to go and do the dishes :)

    Finally science is catching up!! the ancient spiritual texts have informed us and point to the body as a vehicle for us (ergo we are not our bodies). The extension of the headset if you will. We are Spirit beings having a “human experience” (grand theft auto). Makes absolute total sense and I’m absolutely LOVING the way this will change things…the implications have always been incredible however, when spiritually & Science were split up (as well as cosmology & astrology) we lost the information that we are approaching to revealing in the progression of this study. Amazing times! Thank you for a great interview ✌️

    Just like we can program a videogame like GTA , e.g. , where the atmosphere is such that the characters can never fly over a certain altitude o reach a certain speed, it can also be assumed that we are living in a simulation that is devised in a way so that we can never grasp its real nature, no matter how we improve our knowledge of the world or how hard we try to think outside of the box.

    I'm not an expert in the field, but when I hear experts views like this aligning with my notions of the world and reality it's quite reassuring and encouraging. I wish I had this exposure way back when they all started coming to me, now I'm missing how far I would've gone if I had not suppressed them struggling to accept and fit in with contemporary ideas!! Well, at least it helped me to survive till this moment!!!

    Each of us are catalysts for Parameters
    and it would then bring up what you hint at in this video
    which is
    what if we have to reimagine the parameters even dimensional Understanding of
    how parameters and transformations within the parameter field can be directed with deliberate proficiency
