    Clinical psychologist Lisa Miller rejects a materialist view of the brain as a factory producing thoughts. She believes that the brain might function more like an antenna - capable of sending and receiving consciousness, which holds information, love, and intelligence. In other words, consciousness can exist independently of matter.
    Miller highlights scientific research that has explored this idea of shared consciousness, particularly in bonded relationships and among twins. She emphasizes the interconnectedness of humanity, where our actions and treatment of others leave lasting imprints on a collective consciousness field.
    Miller wants to redefine how we understand human consciousness and interconnectedness. This view of our minds has implications for fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality: by recognizing our shared consciousness, we can live a less lonely and more mindful shared existence.

    Whenever the claim 'more and more scientists are...' is invoked, it immediately raises red flags for me. Such a statement implies a shifting scientific consensus, which, in the case of consciousness originating from the brain, is simply not accurate. The anecdote of a mother waking up in fear as her son is shot in a warzone is compelling but should not be mistaken for scientific evidence of shared consciousness. It's crucial to consider the broader context. How many nights has the same mother awoken in fear, only to find her son unharmed? Conversely, how many soldiers experience harm without any such 'awakening' from their mothers? Both scenarios are statistically likely to occur independently; their coincidental occurrence does not constitute empirical evidence. Thus, despite Miller's assertions, there is currently no substantive evidence supporting the concept of shared consciousness

      This phenomenon isn't the only one where obstinate materialistic reductionism, completely bites the dust. Near death experiences... A 2015 paper in the National Library of Medicine published by Dr. Eben Alexander III MD, starts with interesting words from the famous Nobel prize winner Sir John C. Eccles, and then follows with some interesting words of his own regarding this issue:
      _“I maintain that the human mystery is incredibly demeaned by scientific reductionism, with its claim in promissory materialism to account eventually for all of the spiritual world in terms of patterns of neuronal activity. This belief must be classed as a superstition. . . . we have to recognize that we are spiritual beings with souls existing in a spiritual world as well as material beings with bodies and brains existing in a material world.”_
      _- Sir John C. Eccles, PhD (1903 - 1997), neurophysiologist, Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology, 1963_
      ...(Goes on),
      ...
      The conventional neuroscientific assertion that the brain creates the “illusion” of consciousness through the physical action of the subatomic particles, atoms, molecules and cells of the brain, so fundamental to Dr. Nelson’s point of view, is, as the Australian neurophysiologist and Nobel Laureate Sir John C. Eccles (quoted at beginning of article) famously said, “a superstition.” Dr. Nelson and other physicalists are incapable of meeting the empirical challenges posed by the empirical data from NDEs, out-of body experiences (OBEs) and all manner of related mystical experiences. They neglect or deliberately ignore these “inconvenient” empirical facts, or attempt to explain away the basic rudiments through simplistic elementary explanations that cannot even begin to elucidate the rich landscape of the actual experiences.

      A “shifting scientific consensus” is the lot of scientific progress. That takes place at varying rates. That’s been established.
      What is felt about that is irrelevant. It would be the same sort of “skepticism” (really a feeling) that was a part of the struggle in establishing the existence of microbial life as fact, back in the day. That skepticism was irrelevant to the nature of that fact. Scientific inquiry is nowhere without creativity and that’s antithetical to mulling around in prime skepticism.
      That’s a red flag 🚩 that haunts scientific inquiry ad nauseum. Constructive criticism promotes study, not the peevishness of “skepticism”, which is the construction of a egotistical approach to objective inquiry and analysis. Scientism is all the rage because of this. Pay little attention to the standard skeptics 🧐 . The only time they listen is when their own funding 💴 of research 🔬 is in jeopardy. Then, they find “magical” 🪄 creativity ✨ almost instantaneously. Theoretical physicist, medicine, biomedical engineering, etc, rely on pushing theoretical and hypothetical limits with observational input being a source. Those that want to scoff at that, should be of concern.

    Thought provoking and wide open for skepticism. As someone else wrote in another comment: how many times does that mother wakes up alert to find her soldier son is ok? And how many soldiers find themselves wounded and their mother keeps sleeping soundly?
    I would also question when she says that 70% of scientist say their ideas come from intuition and some divine source. First where does she get this from? Second the existence of intuition doesn’t demonstrate in itself the existence of the divine; I could say that intuition is subconscious process result of experience in a particular field and soft skills that allows to generate ideas and imagine patterns that someone without that experience or who isn’t actively working on a series of studies, processes or experiments wouldn’t.
    It is a lovely thought, though, that this gets studied and we find more and more insights about this.

    This is so cool. As Lisa was talking about bonding as a sharing of consciousness, it made me think about the more negative aspect of that, or trauma bonding. Psychologists like Sam Vaknin speak about the abusive interject that is installed in the victim's mind in an abusive relationship. The victims experience intrusive thoughts that bully, demean, and gaslight them, often in the voice or vocabulary of their perpetrator. Even when the abuser is physically nowhere near them, these abusive interjects can continue to haunt and override the victim's mind. As a survivor of abuse myself, I experienced this when I finally left the environment, and though the cruel voices have quited down significantly, they sometimes still arise (a part of me wonders if its becuase the abuser is channeling those negative thought forms toward me just by virtue of their resentment..). I think where people often get stuck in their healing is getting identified with those abusive interjects and gradually believing they are innately a bad object. It really is as though the abuser installed part of their hateful consciousness into you. Lisa's closing words about the importance of choosing your environments wisely and honouring the sacred space of your mind could not be more poignant. Whether you like it or not, the energies you interact with on a daily basis enter your psychic field and colour your experience. Discerning, choosing and aligning yourself with positive energy in your environment is so important to your wellbeing. The quote, "you create the world with your mind, but first the world creates your mind", just drives that point home. If your long-term sanity is of any concern to you, you simply cannot take your surroundings for granted. Awesome video!

It’s the gold standard for truths. If you use intuition for truth it’s only true for one person. It’s not true for everyone therefore not held to the same level of truth. For example Donald Trump feels that he didn’t loose the election in 2020. He tells everyone that is his truth. But to the objective world, it’s false. He is not president. The votes were counted many times, it was argued in court and it’s false. True to him, but otherwise not true. Intuition is personal and a good quality of the human brain. But often wrong.

      Beyond that, science doesn't and never has, claimed to have all the answers.
      Take the scientific theory, which is too honest a take for common parlance. It's not law because we acknowledge that there is more we can learn, even if that unknown amount of knowledge is trivial. We know that gravity exists. We can calculate it with extremely great accuracy. We have so much evidence it's damn near irrefutable. In almost every regard it can be considered law. But we know that we don't know everything about it, so, Bam, Theory of gravity.
      Science is a process, a reduction of many points of view to their most common denominator, to deduce what is objective. It isnt a cheat code, it's still an active quest.

    Science criticises religion not realising they are staring at a reflection of themselves. Both are dogmatic and intolerant of suggestions that do not align with their own biases and/or experiences. I am agnostic. I do not know if what Dr Miller is proposing has the potential for truth. But looking through these comments, seeing criticisms of spirituality and Dr Miller's unconventional thinking, it makes me so frustrated that so many are narrow-minded. If I'm to recall correctly, some of the most important ideas in science have, during their times, been highly controversial.

    "There are neural correlates.. that go hand in hand with trancendent awareness"
    It is true that psychological phenomenon have been found to have neural correlates. This is not surprising under a physical view of the brain and any claims of "Transcendent Awareness" are disingenuously using the word trancendent to imply an extra-physical phenomenon that has not been evidenced.

    I feel that my limited understanding of the life principle or divine spark that can combine inorganic matter in such a way that anything becoming alive is a total mystery to me. All I can not image or understand how our planet has such a variety of living things in it isn't alive its self. My digestive track transforms food from complex compounds into basic stuff for the rest of my body to use. I forget how many things (I think bacteria) living inside me with their own DNA separate from mine are essential to keep the rest of me alive. Boggles my mind. I also can not get passed the fact that we live in or planet and not on our planet. I can not resist the temptation to claim things as mine. I wonder if the other things living inside me do the same thing and greedily claim amongst themselves how important each individual digestive unit is unique and special. Moving around at the bottom of the fluid ocean of our atmosphere, I wonder about the living things moving at the bottom of the fluid of the ocean floor where the pressure is immense. I also wonder how can it be that the center of this planet is supposed to be hotter that the sun. I've heard of absolute zero but what happens at the other side where it's so hot matter does what?? Melt, boil, change into what? I'm grateful for thoughtful people being curious enough to look for answers. But for me it leads to more questions. I wish I had the time and ability to ponder such things but I have to go mow the grass in my yard before it gets to hot outside.

      2 months ago my home burnt down at 5am. My wife and I got out less than 60secs before the roof collapsed on our room.
      It took me 3 days to get a phone to contact my family (phone, wallet, purse, car keys, everything was lost in the fire).
      Once I touched base in the family chat my brother UNLOADED on me for being unreachable, he didn't even read the walls of text I left, just saw I was texting and let his feelings fly.
      Turns out 3 days before that text at 5am he woke up so fast, it woke his wife and he just knew something was REALLY wrong with me.
      My brother and I are both level headed to a fault, we got logic behind every move we do. Everything is thought out. Every. thing. I got 3 years on him, we aren't twins.
      We can't explain this. It might be anecdotal, but it's a real as the sun rising, and if an inquisition told me to renounce my words or die, then I'd die. I won't deny reality and live in some fantasy world, no matter how uncomfortable it might make me, or anyone else.

    I wanted to leave a negative comment as soon as I heard “Post-Materialism” but I figured I’d hear her out until the end of the video.
    Her view seems deeply unscientific and full of bias towards a spiritual worldview. Maybe it’s my own bias talking here, but I’m surprised someone with these views are platformed without any sources or studies supporting such wild claims. Most of the things that support her idea of consciousness being linked are anecdotal at best and to extrapolate to saying “consciousness can exist independent of matter” is a big stretch.

      I think Neil and Richard would pretty much agree with Lisa. Humans see themselves often separate from nature and each other, but in fact life is one big interconnected symbiosis. Your brain is not only a supercomputer but also an antenna which picks up energy from its surroundings. Have you ever been in a concert collectively listening to music and experiencing about the same emotions? Have you ever walk into a room full with positive energy and lift up the whole atmosphere? That awareness and connection doesn’t go away when you leave the scene . Plus eventhough you are probably a couple of thousand miles away, we have increased eachothers collective consciousness ;) Have a nice day
