It surprises me that the general public isn't interested in this stuff, or the fact that we're on a spinning rock in infinite space. I hope one day the actual fascinating things become more fascinating than trivial daily routines
The only thing a lot of people really care about now is videoing themselves doing stupid little dances or singing stupid songs and posting them on TikTok. It's so sad how much they're really missing out on
So true. Irl I've only ever met one person who would be interested in watching a video like this. Or to ponder deeply profound phenomena. And I know because I don't hide my interest in such things. But people are more interested in posting memes and selfies on Facebook.
the more i go through life, the more i feel as though I'm beginning to wake up... it is a lonely place out here where I am going deeper and deeper in to... It is videos like these that have become EXTREMELY important to me... Thank you for another great upload!
It happened overnight for me. Like something from the ether found me and not the other way around.. But I watched these videos etc.. Maybe primed me for it. You can communicate with the divine
@@jaxsonjohnson3848 videos and lectures and books and articles are NOT "it", but more something that is not only fascinating to one experiencing this, but also a helpful way to kind of organize your thoughts.
It's a beautiful thing and a scary one as well. Duality is a roller coaster seemingly saying we must as all have a north and south pole Bi Polar haha. Polaris not just one. Lol off point. Yet know many are here for you, as you experience many versions outside as well as Inside oneself and cells!. And allow no illusions to lower however you think feel and believe as they will try to stop such a beautiful growing process. Have a faith. Love to grasp onto. And from my experiences Im greatly appreciated for my daughter1st wave as 2nd helped and is helping another. All becomes easier when known over feared. And if an swim or flow w the first aka worst blow there may be others for you as Ive had and wasnt easier just harder emotionally as opposed to a wtfreak moment. Of the unknown. Tk be honest. I want to write a book. As what most I Feel say mid life crisis is pretty much the same thing except not midlife and haven't reached what society says we should have by that moment. Which also has own meanings personally and uniquely to all! Yet seeing this occur and not always ending well. Sharing my story of experiences I hope will indeed help at leaat one other. May peace and joy be with you all! Xoxo
I believe that consciousness is like radio waves and our brain is the reciever. Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking for people inside a radio when in fact it is eminating from radio waves.
I have had that thought from time to time, and if it is so - an extremely big if I will grant - then evolution is the engine that creates receivers of great variation, and tends towards creating "better" receivers over time.
@@DeportivoRavensThat is a self refuting statement though.. matter has to exist for there to be a conscious agent to perceive that matter.. that's like saying you can't trust your sensory perception and science
the worst part about existing is feeling the answer just out of reach, almost being able to grasp the universe, but not quite. lots of people go unconsciously through life because they fear their own thoughts and what it will teach them about themselves.
I think one of the greatest things is that feeling you get when it clicks and you understand something new. I understand what you're saying though there does feel like something is there but it's like trying to see the forest when your standing in the trees
Man, you have no idea how much this video helped me with my anxiety when I tested positive for the rona back in beginning of April 2020 (when we didn't know much about the virus). I don't know, for whatever reason this video calmed me down, like I got the sensation that everything is going to be just fine in the end, and I know this is true for everybody reading this as well. I truly believe in absolute infinity - that we are all one, and that infinity and eternity is now.
I remember when I was 5 years old asking, to no one in particular, "Why is there a here?" and, "Why am I me?" I used to envision spirals in bed at night before going to sleep.
@@erithacusnacnud I believe that all of our lives are mystical. All one has to do is pay attention. Consciously seek out connection to the divine core within. It's there in the heart of every living thing. Even inanimate objects are of divine nature. There is only Oneness and wholeness. The spiral represents ever-expanding, eternal creation. So do fractals. Thank you for your comment 🙏 ❤🕉
@@slister45 There might be an intriguing facet to the spiral in that it leads both inwards and outwards. Returning us to the true Centre or divine core, a renewed understanding of what we know (have always known) in our heart of hearts. Whilst its apparent expansion may speak of providence, becoming, the properties of destiny, serendipity and what we might call fate. And of course a fractal animation can run in either direction too. Mysteriously, miraculously 'both - and' inwards and outwards. I am reminded of that Moody Blues song from 1969 'Out and In' in their mystic days.
Swami vivekananda used to have such vision earlier in his life. You both should read him. Meditation and pranayam should help in channelling those energies. Psychedelics are short term glimpse of that. You are that. Peace. Namaste 🙏
when i taught meditation and was a guide for wilderness trips , the topic of past and future often arose . i came up with this simple intellectual exercise to emphasize that there is only this moment . past and future do not exist except as concepts - think of something that happened to you yesterday or some time ago. Now ask yourself " When am i thinking or remembering this past event ?" Now do the same for a future plan . make a plan for this weekend . now again , ask , " WHEN am i making this plan ?" The answer is always NOW. even if you repeat the exercise five years from now , it will still NOW.

@@mikerugoyi4606 Hi Mike, thanks for your comment. I'm not sure self-created is the most accurate concept. IMHO the Universe is eternal. It has always existed and always will exist. It wasn't created and will never end. I'm not sure that we have words to describe something like that, since that concept not part of typical human experience.
Hey man. I been thinking about consciousness for 10 years trying to explain to people how utterly mysterious and "other" it is (you know what I mean). I always wanted to get the message out. You did it so much better than I could have though. Thank you for this presentation!
" It's as if this slippery phenomenon called 'self consciousness' lifted itself up by it's own bootstraps, almost as if it had made itself out of nothing." If you remove religion and the word god for a few moments from your mind and truly "think out of the box" and think in terms of a creating one and whole, without form as it is not a 'thing' to see, touch or hold and smell nor in any human form , you will find consciousness. Because it IS consciousness. It is the life force. It is in Every-thing. Consciousness is an Action, and is always in motion becoming more than it is. E very-thing holds consciousness but consciousness has different states of being. Like a flower has it's own consciousness in knowing that it is a flower and can feel, but cannot think in the capacity humans do. In understanding this small simple thinking out of the box about consciousness, Scientists will find their answers. Just saying!
Have you ever noticed that when you are conscious you are conscious of something? Have you ever noticed that when you are conscious of nothing you are not conscious?
You know , this is been on my mind lately . It gives me chills thinking about what everything is and how it’s possible , why it’s possible and what would happen if it wasnt possible what would be there then ? Love this stuff . It’s REAL .. I think
@@vhawk1951kl, Outside of the drunken sentence structure you so brilliantly demonstrated, "Real" refers to something that exists objectively and is not a product of imagination or perception. It is tangible, verifiable, and can be experienced independently by multiple individuals, regardless of personal beliefs or interpretations.
Good to see this topic is being discussed in western world now. It is important to mention that this topic has been extensively explored and understood by ancient Hindu philosophers and Upanishads are the key texts which predates any timelines mentioned in this wonderful documentary. I am listening to lot of prominent peoples work just in trying to find out " Who AM I". Adi Shankaracharya who lived 1200 years ago and more recent times by well known Swami Vivekananda has postulated Advaitha Vedanta which has Consciousness at its heart.
This reminds me of life imitating art imitating life imitating art .. ad nauseum That said, my bet is if this is to be understood, the eureka moment will come from the likes of "terrible twos", the very first manifestation of self awareness we all experience but will never recall. The moment the human mind itself "stands up" and recognizes the environment, a sense of self, the ability to manipulate said environment, and last but not least, the ability to better *our* environment. PFM. Curious how that works.
Yes, non-dual consciousness. But there are 4 other schools of Vedanta. Which differentiate between the source of all consciousness, and the parts of that Person. The Energetic and the Energy are different, very similar though but different.
Really impressive. Like other commenters, I’m surprised by how much clear eyed and compelling thinking you’ve been able to cram into such a relatively short video. The idea that consciousness is somehow an irreducible and/or primary participatory fundamental to our universe is fascinating, and your arguments are hard to dismiss. Really interested to see where you take these theories next, and pleased to be supporting you on Patreon.
I smoked a high dose of DMT 4 months ago and my experience was life changing. I now know deep to my core that this life isn't everything, that life goes on and that there are other realms of existence out there that we go to and come from before and after life.
Life is not everything Consciousness is everything But if consciousness is everything how come life exists in the first just because of the consios viewer yea I'm definitely getting simulation vibes rn
The statement 'consciousness is the universe experiencing itself' really implies a lot the more you think about it. Dissolving notions of self/other or us and the universe, WE are the universe experiencing itself and also provides the answer to 'what is the meaning of life'................................ To experience yourself......A beautiful simplicity if ever I heard it.
In dreamtime (quantum) the universe and our bodies meet itself. In realitytime we are met by the reflections and eccoes from distant places and distant times.. To me the oldest religion we know is the one that makes most sense.
@@ellengran6814 I agree with your comment. You worded that in a way that makes perfect sense. In the dreamworld we experience the universe more profoundly with deeper connection. While awake, it is like echoes and reflections. I agree
This area of exploration - universe, reality, consciousness, life - is not just fascinating, but dare I say deeply meaningful. Thanks for the channel and videos, I will support you when I can!
The moment he asked "Why is there something rather than nothing?" At the beggining of the video i could already tell this was going to be an amazing video lol
Ha! Funny......as soon as I heard those words too, I paused the video so I can watch it later when I have more time to not multitask while watching. I'll be back.
Endless chains of logic are not easy, gives you indigestion and makes your stomach queasy, Until it strikes your brain like thunder, With an awesome sense of wonder, That if nothing comes from nothing then something always is, And thinking of beginnings will only drive you loopy, Then you pack your bag quite quickly and then depart your premises quite quietly and slickly and, head down to the railway station To the platform of surrender, And board the train of thought, to somewhere in Forever.
Your series of work is the most comprehensive understanding of philosophical science and theories and the nature of existence I have every come across. Thank you. Have subscribed. Everything about your production and pace is engendered to intensive listening and understanding. Thank you.
Great video, I really like the quality of this channel (content, narratives and visuals), it's super interesting way beyond the everyday non-sense. Thanks a lot metaRising!
My words cannot adequately convey how important and absorbing I find this video. These are the questions and topics that have consumed practically all of my adult thinking. I've bookmarked the video and I will be watching at many, many times. Thank you very much for all of your good work. You have directed my thinking into new directions and understandings.
These topics have fascinated me since i was a teenager, as i think about it everyday of my life but cant find nobody to talk about it with because it seems im alone in my curiosity. So i listen to podcasts and youtube everyday to fill my glass that im constantly emptying out because i have so many thoughts and questions. And to think existence itself will one day end..........GOOSEBUMPS!
Very nice thought. The notion of any part of creation creating the creation seems contradictory to me, but I love notion of being known and loved. Thank you for sharing.
@@PatrickLHolley we are all a part of the creation, are we not? And do we not all take part in creating the creation? The creator is within all of us, as we are all within the creator. Everything flows from one source, a unified field of consciousness. There is no "outside" or "inside" when it comes to creation, so there is nothing that is outside of creation or not a part of it..... Its infinite. It just IS.... I think of it as the universe itself is alive, conscious, wise, intelligent, eternal. We are apertures or eyes that the universe uses to experience itself and know itself, through us
@@PatrickLHolley no problem! As Alan Watts put it, "There is no difference between you (your conscious awareness, what is effectively inside your head) and the outside world, or the universe. They are both poles of the same magnet, they are both different sides of the same coin"
@ALETHIOLOGY please study more , He did not said that. He said all penomenal are none self everything is happening by Paticcasamuppada. Everything is no beginning and no end.

I think that was a very thought-provoking episode. I believe that consciousness, while invisible is nonetheless part of the fabric of the universe. It's the intelligenct awareness that connects everything. Perhaps even the origin of everything.
Very well made presentation! I appreciate the research and the production effort! I hear you talking about value - but you never mention the phenomenon "love", which is an inexplicable force just like consciousness itself with which it is intertwined. Of course many viewers might see that as a shift from the scientific approach to a more esoteric one, but the fact that we don't have quantifiable scientific data on it doesn't mean we can simply ignore it. But again, well done - please keep producing great content like this! Happy new year!
Love and consciousness are two different things. Consciousness is the soul when we are awake and love is when the soul attaches itself to someone or thing.
Another amazing documentary. The topics you cover are fascinating and I hope you continue making more documentaries for your page because I believe it will help your great channel grow even more. As someone who is not religious I have never been satisfied with the materialistic atheist view of existence. More and more I started thinking about it and realized something must be eternal and anything that is eternal conflicts with the rational scientific way we perceive our physical reality and universe. Some may consider eternal mathematics, physical forces, multiverse being more rational than eternal consciousness but it is not. They are all irrational from our current understanding of reality with all things needing a cause and having a beginning, present, and end. True eternal nothingness cannot exist without nothingness being eternal. Any way in which something can be created from nothing would mean there is a "law" that would allow nothingness to conjure up something which would mean that nothingness never existed in the first place. There must be some eternal element to existence and it seems the most logical is consciousness. Eternal quantum mechanics cannot conjure up particles from a void of nothingness. Eternal consciousness can create material existence from nothing as the material is only an illusion created and experienced by consciousness.
Thanks very much. The next video will also be a documentary style thing too, exploring conscious superintelligence. Your view resonates with me. There are a variety of compelling avenues into why consciousness is central to existence. I like this phrase of yours, "True eternal nothingness cannot exist without nothingness being eternal." Clearly something else, more like consciousness, is required.
I wish my English was good enough to make a comment. The only thing I can say is: if one day , a Man can be able to come out of his body, contact his soul , learn from it, and could come back to his body; may find out the answer to ( what is consciousness).
The idea that consciousness is fundamental is eerily similar to Judaism claim of how God works: that it is an infinite consciousness pervading all of reality.
I suggest that consciousness is the ground of being. That it is universal and always was and always will be. I suggest that life is self aware because it is conscious and that is the wondrous beauty of what makes life special. Consciousness itself has no bounds of time or dimension and the universe is in essence an idea in the mind of God
Fascinating..and much food for thought. I was thinking about all of this during my morning walk in the countryside with my dogs. I do this regularly. The walk seems to be over before it begins because my mind is elsewhere.
Beautiful expose', revealing there can be no other primordial source to existence than what mystic philosopher, Rudolf Steiner, refered to as "the supersensible." Moreover, at the conceptual delta of quantum theory, c1920, its founder wrote, "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness." - Max Planck
He did know a thing or 2 about a thing or two...lol wise man indeed. We need more of his type of understanding than the ones who are determined to find out the meaning of everything. We have not the time or the mental capacity as 1 person to ever be able to dissect and interpret the countless details of existence and doing so only holds us back from accomplishing more useful and meaningful discoveries.
Looking forward to watching this when I get home today... will also sign up as a patron while I'm at it... thanks for the great content so far.. greetings from Australia..
This induces some form of enlightment in me and others for sure. Great visual choices all along the video, especially the eye having roots into everything and the universe looking into it's own self, aware of it's existence. That last one mentioned got to me quite intensely too.
@@jeffforsythe9514 soul is very skewed term, according to buddhism there is no self and definantely not soul, what is awaken/consicous in us/universe is one not individual like "soul". so called different/varying 'reality" of observer/self is nothing but view from different angles of same football ground(consiousness) but ultimately we are part of one ground whose intrinsic nature is constant. PS; this is just by mere understanding of reality and consiousness based on a few years of buddhist. my view could be irrevelent based on your observation , its fine
This is one of the best videos i have ever seen on the topic of consciousness and its hard questions. Thank you so much for making this, it has a lot of valuable information.
Nice article! It is stimulating to realize that as humans we really lack the knowledge and intelligence to understand what's happening. That gives us lots of room for new interesting discoveries.
I am today almost 86, but I remember vividly the instant as a baby, when I became conscient. My mother told me years later, that I was nine months old, and called "mama" To become conscient, from the baby 's sleep, is exactly like when waking up in our life. Reality is there to welcome us in its embrace. It was for me as a baby a strong feeling of awakening to the reality of life and the universe. The way it happened is the following: I was in the arms of one of my older sisters, Maria or Stina. The first time I became awaken and conscient was for about 35 seconds, then I fell back in my baby's deep sleep. The day after, same situation, in the arms of one of my sisters. This time I came to reality to stay, and I called mama!. As a baby, to be conscient of awakening to life is exceptional. I try to make of this memory something that could clarify a special reality of life and consciousness together for myself and for scientists like yourself.
20 + years ago I was haunted by the same question of what consciousness is. Then after years of reading, searching through the net and self inquiry I somehow got to undestading that it was the wrong question. The right question to ask is : How to become more conscious and not what consciousness is.
Thank you, thank you. I have read and read and tried to grasp the knowledge. I've ome to realize that knowledge is not necessarily wisdom. What I learned is that small doses of knowledge seem to assimilate in my mind AND heart much easier. So this is perfect. So appreciative. 💙💜
Is it just a coincidence that this video is the eighth result after a youtube search query on just on the word "documentary", and that it is the most intellectually stunning, and useful video I've seen in a long while of possibly ever? I always kept my spiritual interests and my scientific curiosity separate. One born in childhood from a childrens encyclopedia and many visits to the local library. The other born in adulthood on the internet. And in this video they merge, with me fully expecting nothing less than an atrocity but instead I find myself pausing the video in several places and pacing my room to cope with level of insight I'm toying with.

Perfect and all of my lifelong quest to understand physics and philosophy have lead me on my own to these very questions. I am so connected to this in such a deep way as I feel what is covered in this is poking at why I am here and what this all is! Well done
Consciousness is existence itself. Existence is consciousness. I exist, therefore I am...and vice versa-I am, therefore I exist. Nothing is separate from the other.
What I find interesting is we have evidence that our consciousness has the ability is survive independent of our brain. It says our brain is more like a tv set that takes in information and displays it rather than creating it. It's evidence of the existence if a spirit or a soul and God.
Rupert spira , Alan Watts , eckhart tolle. Helped me to get a good understanding of reality. Good video thanks 🙏 be wide open and let go of old beliefs that hold you back then the new ones you’ll eventually trash too cause it goes on and on and on . Infinitely interesting .
Adrian, your writing and production is second to none! Please don't stop! Your perspective is valued by many! I believe what Max Planck said is correct: Consciousness is fundamental, matter is derivative from Consciousness. The Mind requires a mechanism to understand how it could be that matter is derivative from Consciousness. I suggest that mechanism is Perception In Consciousness. If you can be made to accept that what you perceive is reality, what need is there for an actual objective physical reality? It would be redundant, and parsimony demands the simplest answer with the fewest assumptions. Here are some basic assumptions: We exist within a Consciousness Singularity, like a black hole made of Consciousness. Primary Consciousness. We are partitioned bits of Primary Consciousness, holographically and fractally identical to Primary Consciousness, but with a separate self-awareness and point of view. We are of, by, and within Consciousness. We enter these limited iterations in order to evolve. We contribute our experience, Our Story to the Whole. We do not physically exist. Therefore we cannot physically die. We transition to another Perception In Consciousness, as Near Death Experiences (NDEs) clearly indicate, experiences frequently described as much more real than real. We're in an arena of choice & consequence with linear time progression. In reality, we are timeless, eternal beings with a purpose. Not some random fluke of natural law are we, but a deliberately created Consciousness in act of mental mitosis by Primary Consciousness, giving of itself for us to become who we are. The Whole is incomplete without each and every one of us. We are unique. We have inherent value, meaning, and purpose. The Whole is of a scale inconceivable to minds within human constraints. Not simulation, not hallucination, not illusion. It is Perception. Perception In Consciousness.
I loved it... Consciousness is so baffling to us. How can we really truly understand it. I love the search for understanding and meaning. It does seem that consciousness is primary.. we must start from this premise.. I think. Thanks for sharing.. keep up the awesome work. We will try to understand together and share our thoughts.
Very well done Adrian. Although I do prefer the longer ones, I appreciate that they take more time and work to create. This is still very thought provoking; I was wondering about Descartes' famous "cogito ergo sum", and whether it could be modified into "I am consciousness, therefore I, and everything else, is". It is interesting to consider the question of why does anything exist, and why _would_ it exist were there nothing for it to exist _for_ ? Itself? Yet we are simply the universe in the form of more _obvious_ consciousness, as waves in the ocean are still the ocean.
I'd like to make longer documentaries, but they do take a months to make. Yes, perhaps consciousness exists in both an implicate and explicate form - like features on a single body of water. David Chalmers suggested that Descartes ITTIA can today be updated to "I have consciousness, therefore I exist." So existence can at least be granted to something. Perhaps other lines can be deployed to argue that nothing exists outside of consciousness.
Consciousness ... where does it come from ... how does it know when to enter ... where does it reside ... what is its purpose ... and when it leaves where does it go? FASCINATING SUBJECT. FOR DEEP THINKERS. BEAUTIFUL VIDEO. THANK YOU. "👍"
So glad to come across this. I have this understanding as part of my spiritual awakening. Good to see science catching up. We live in fascinating times. Lots of people waking up and many more on the verge. Hold on tight to life’s truths and believe in the power of belief. Be conscious in every moment as much as you can. That’s what I’m doing. Just the best I can. 👍🙏🕊
Consciousness is all that really exists. Everything is an expression of consciousness. Consciousness doesn't have to give rise to anything, because nothing else exists. Consciousness simply is. Expression is part of it's nature and there appears to be a bunch of different stuff as a result of this expression.
@Ruby Badilla I'm not really disagreeing with you, but have never studied any school or system of religious or spiritual thought. I've read and been influenced by traditional thinking, but been basically observing and distilling my own experiences. I had a complete spontaneous kundalini awakening in 1978 I've also never been to college and even quit high school after eleventh grade. I'm not too agreeable towards book learning about spiritual matters, but am not against it. Meditation is the king of tools when it comes to the exploration of the nature of existence. My point is that what we know of as our awareness is not only the very same awareness that's in all aware creatures, but is also that which we are aware of. Regardless of the terms used, the concepts that are currently being juxtaposed in the media are (C)onsciousness/(A)wareness as fundamental vs emergent. I have little interest in using traditional language, but do value the correct usage of language. Many people are turned off by traditional contexts. For example; I can explain Christian theology in biblical terms and people will be vehemently offended, but if I explain in my own words, even if they don't agree, they won't be offended and may even consider the concepts. Everything we know and say is just a particular way of connecting the dots. There is truth, but any explanation of it is not it. "In recent years..." I've known the word consciousness in this context for about 50 years. Yes this is a drop in the bucket historically, but when you say recent years, I think of five or ten years. I don't see us as having separate or our own minds, but a connection to the mind of God or Universal Mind. It's like a terminal to a mainframe of a client computer to a server or network. The brains of living creatures are like the hardware, as you state, and nervous systems are like the antennae, receiving and transmitting. The more developed the brain and nervous system, the more sophisticated the consciousness that's exhibited. Once duality is transcended, there is no separation, thus no knower and known - no observer and observed, so everything that can be said is from the world of multiplicity or diversity. Not only is the brain like a computer, but intelligence is like processing power, which is a function of clock speed times bandwidth or how quickly one processes information times the amount of information processed at once/per cycle. Additionally, perception of the world is a digital sampling of an analog reality. Like the digitizing of an analog music signal, there is a sample rate and bit depth. Everyone has a slightly (or not so slightly) different sample rate and bit depth. Some people are [relatively] high resolution and some are [relatively] low resolution. I wanted to share my points of view on all your points, but it began to seem like you were just espousing others' teaching rather than expressing the assimilation of your own experiences. Plus, I just don't have the time tonight. My browser is responding very slowly to my typing, too. I appreciate your response to my original comment as it gives me a chance to work out my thoughts. I've spent the last 25 years raiding four kids, mostly on my own, and am just getting back to my former purpose/interests. I live where i encounter very few other people and none of them are interested in this stuff. 😎 I wish I could get a single space between paragraphs, but if I use a single return, when posted my comments contain no space at all. If I use two returns, I get two spaces. Do you use a single return between paragraphs?
This is correct. There would be no reality without consciousness. I am a physicist who has researched the nature of physical and nonphysical reality for more than 40 years. The physical reality we experience as humans is only a simulation using fractal algorithms that create the world around us. The body is like an avatar that is used by the consciousness to operate within and experience this reality.
This material world can't be beyond consciousness if we can observe it, and it can't by nature be alien to consciousness if we can know it. The conscious nature and the unconscious nature are just two sides of the same coin called " reality "
Great summary, as always. Some of the physicalist ideas challenge me, but it is truly needed if we are to face existence. Quantum mechanics seems to brush with spirituality more and more. I've just discovered the Kabbalah and much of it's cosmology has layers to it like many of the scientific theories. These “Emanations” of reality are considered God's consciousness outpouring to form the universe (or perhaps the multiverse). This kind of spirituality works better in my mind and I believe aligns with much of what you present. Also, that was a great ending! Gave me a burst of hope and wonder I was needing.

Nothing comes from nothing. Something comes from something else. Reality starts from the imagination, imagination forms from reality. Hence the cycle between the two creates wonderments and sadly it also creates disappointments
@@eugenecoleman8525 imagination, imagination is the force of creation. Everything that exists including technology commence in someone's imagination, it's not unreasonable to assume that all that is nature came from nature's imagination , or God's imagination if you are religious.😊
I think you missed the problem here. If reality comes from the imagination, and the imagination forms with in reality, you end up with a chicken and the egg problem, and fall in to an infinite regress of events. While I find it an interesting thought, I don't see any reason to believe that there was someone or something to imagine the universe if you're saying the imagination came first. While this can all be fun and interesting to think and speculate about, I'm having the same problem here as I did with the video. That being a lack of evidence or argument to demonstrate there is any truth behind the idea. The video was well made, but all it did was make a bunch of claims without providing any evidence for them, just speculation and pointing to a bunch of things we don't fully understand ie: consciousness, quantum mechanics, and the origin of the universe.
Subscribed. This very well summarized my recent thoughts on this subject and expanded on it giving me more to think about. I've always wondered what's up with science never actually giving a real explanation. As stated in your video, it always calls for more explanation. I really do thing the nature of conciousness is what we need to research if we want to truly understand our reality.
Science can be represented by the conmen tailors who conned the King into making him a magnificent robe and garments. So magnificent that only the most regal and intelligent people were able to see. But these fake clothing were realized during his procession through his kingdom when a young innocent boy began laughing and pointing at the King and proclaiming that the King was NAKED. When all the people in the kingdom began to laugh at that reality the king was totally humiliated and commanded his soldiers to get the tailors he paid bags of gold to and to have their heads removed from their shoulders. The illusion of this 3rd (material) and 4th (time) dimensional hologram is all made of the material, including our human bodies, but our consciousness (the little boy) can see that our very consciousness which allows us to enjoy and experience the material universe, is not itself, material. Our consciousness is not subject to the limitations of time and space and the material. That is why science can never find it, let alone explain it or even define it. And that is why their material heads will roll and their non material consciousness will laugh at their lack of vision and wisdom. The last six dying words of Steve Jobs were: “oh wow,… Oh Wow,…OH WOW!” Don’t wait for your head to roll before you discover that it was us, the consciousness, which is eternal, made the moon and the whole universe for that matter.
Eastern yogic science had been working on consciousness for at least six to eight thousand years by now. Unfortunately invaders burnt down most of the libraries existed at universities and only few percentage material remains scattered in villages. No one knows for sure that how much we had lost. They were able to talk telepathically, read each others mind if allowed and travel in other dimensions. We are just beginning to explore those realms. I have seen glimpses of those dimensions while meditating and whose side effects are pure joy and happiness. It gave me the experience of reality that indeed everything is connected. I hope science systematically start exploring those dimensions of reality and not just stay focused on material world only. Western science and eastern yogic science reminds me of the encounter of Alexander and yogi. Alexander asked yogi, "What are you doing?" and yogi said politely, "I am exploring nothing." Then, yogi asked alexander.., "What are you up to?" Alexander proudly replied, "I am conquering the world." Then both started laughing at each other uncontrollably while pointing at each other and exclaimed, "What a fool..!"
@@acpatel9491 Our scientific-industrial-capitalist civilization that has reduced ancient global poverty to 8%. But even a hunting-gathering culture has some minimal use of mans power of focusing his mind, thru his senses, onto the concrete, material civilization. Hunting food animals with spears and gathering berries requires a focused mind. There are no mystical powers, as you imagine above, that will do that when man takes leave of his senses and goes out of his mind. Man must mentally work to guide the physical work needed to survive.

I loved this video! I’m really intrigued by the idea of a value-driven universe. To me, the idea of ‘value’ seems so subjective and dependent on perspective, so I’m really curious to read more on this concept and learn how it’s defined 😄
I studied Buddhism for 4 yeas and of course meditation, where my Ajan tought to just observe, observe. Something that at the time was strange to even comprehend but something that all great musters of spirituality have done, to sit and observe as if there’s something magical that has more meaning than any activity in contrast. So when this theory culminates as to we been the eyes of the universe, I can only agree, it is us and our existence that give meaning to existence it self.
Great documentary Adrian. I want more! I’m going to up my patreon contribution- once I’m out of the bath... thank you! keep safe and keep up the good work 👍🏽👍🏽
We are conscious, and therefore only experience the universe perceivable by consciousness. This leaves the question "Couldn't there be other things outside the realm of our consciousness that exist?" Isn't it naive to think that our limited sense of consciousness perceives all that exists. How can we not be naive to reality beyond consciousness?
No it’s not naive. Even if there is anything ‘outside’ consciousness how would you ever perceive or know it, because it’s always outside consciousness?
Very interesting and also very speculative. I have studied quantum meta physics in a discussion group for some time. The mysteries of the present time are very interesting and complex.
It surprises me that the general public isn't interested in this stuff, or the fact that we're on a spinning rock in infinite space. I hope one day the actual fascinating things become more fascinating than trivial daily routines
This!
Why do you care about what other people find fascinating?
How do you know what is in other people's minds?
The only thing a lot of people really care about now is videoing themselves doing stupid little dances or singing stupid songs and posting them on TikTok. It's so sad how much they're really missing out on
So true. Irl I've only ever met one person who would be interested in watching a video like this. Or to ponder deeply profound phenomena. And I know because I don't hide my interest in such things. But people are more interested in posting memes and selfies on Facebook.

I believe that consciousness is like radio waves and our brain is the reciever. Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking for people inside a radio when in fact it is eminating from radio waves.
You're right I'm sure.
The brain is the filter. Actually there’s no brain, no matter, no nothing at all.
I have had that thought from time to time, and if it is so - an extremely big if I will grant - then evolution is the engine that creates receivers of great variation, and tends towards creating "better" receivers over time.
@@DeportivoRavensThat is a self refuting statement though.. matter has to exist for there to be a conscious agent to perceive that matter.. that's like saying you can't trust your sensory perception and science
@@uk_picker7307 consciousness makes up the energy that makes up that matter. we really don't know what consciousness is or truly does yet.
the worst part about existing is feeling the answer just out of reach, almost being able to grasp the universe, but not quite. lots of people go unconsciously through life because they fear their own thoughts and what it will teach them about themselves.
I think one of the greatest things is that feeling you get when it clicks and you understand something new. I understand what you're saying though there does feel like something is there but it's like trying to see the forest when your standing in the trees

I remember when I was 5 years old asking, to no one in particular, "Why is there a here?" and, "Why am I me?" I used to envision spirals in bed at night before going to sleep.
The spiral is intrinsically loaded with spiritual meaning, as my own life has mystically revealed.
@@erithacusnacnud I believe that all of our lives are mystical. All one has to do is pay attention. Consciously seek out connection to the divine core within. It's there in the heart of every living thing. Even inanimate objects are of divine nature. There is only Oneness and wholeness. The spiral represents ever-expanding, eternal creation. So do fractals.
Thank you for your comment 🙏 ❤🕉
@@slister45 There might be an intriguing facet to the spiral in that it leads both inwards and outwards. Returning us to the true Centre or divine core, a renewed understanding of what we know (have always known) in our heart of hearts. Whilst its apparent expansion may speak of providence, becoming, the properties of destiny, serendipity and what we might call fate. And of course a fractal animation can run in either direction too. Mysteriously, miraculously 'both - and' inwards and outwards. I am reminded of that Moody Blues song from 1969 'Out and In' in their mystic days.
Swami vivekananda used to have such vision earlier in his life.

"Awareness is known by awareness alone," is the sole irreducible axiom of reality.
Exactly, and that is why consciousness represents absoluteness.

Consciousness is deeper than the axiom.

The concept of past, present and future being created simultaneously totally blew my mind. Thank You.
when i taught meditation and was a guide for wilderness trips , the topic of past and future often arose . i came up with this simple intellectual exercise to emphasize that there is only this moment . past and future do not exist except as concepts -
think of something that happened to you yesterday or some time
ago. Now ask yourself " When am i thinking or remembering this past event ?"
Now do the same for a future plan .
make a plan for this weekend .
now again , ask , " WHEN am i making this plan ?"
The answer is always NOW. even if you repeat the exercise five years from now , it will still NOW.
Created??? By whom, or what? And where did this hypothetical creator come from? Who created it... and so on.

Consciousness is the soul. The body is like an aircraft, the brain is the cockpit and the soul is the pilot.
" It's as if this slippery phenomenon called 'self consciousness' lifted itself up by it's own bootstraps, almost as if it had made itself out of nothing." If you remove religion and the word god for a few moments from your mind and truly "think out of the box" and think in terms of a creating one and whole, without form as it is not a 'thing' to see, touch or hold and smell nor in any human form , you will find consciousness. Because it IS consciousness. It is the life force. It is in Every-thing. Consciousness is an Action, and is always in motion becoming more than it is. E very-thing holds consciousness but consciousness has different states of being. Like a flower has it's own consciousness in knowing that it is a flower and can feel, but cannot think in the capacity humans do. In understanding this small simple thinking out of the box about consciousness, Scientists will find their answers. Just saying!

Outside of the drunken sentence structure you so brilliantly demonstrated, "Real" refers to something that exists objectively and is not a product of imagination or perception.

Good to see this topic is being discussed in western world now. It is important to mention that this topic has been extensively explored and understood by ancient Hindu philosophers and Upanishads are the key texts which predates any timelines mentioned in this wonderful documentary. I am listening to lot of prominent peoples work just in trying to find out " Who AM I". Adi Shankaracharya who lived 1200 years ago and more recent times by well known Swami Vivekananda has postulated Advaitha Vedanta which has Consciousness at its heart.

This reminds me of life imitating art imitating life imitating art .. ad nauseum
That said, my bet is if this is to be understood, the eureka moment will come from the likes of "terrible twos", the very first manifestation of self awareness we all experience but will never recall.
The moment the human mind itself "stands up" and recognizes the environment, a sense of self, the ability to manipulate said environment, and last but not least, the ability to better *our* environment.
PFM.
Curious how that works.
Also, you'll see that we Westerners are also starting to shit on the sidewalk more and more, just like your Hindu Heroes
Yes, non-dual consciousness.
But there are 4 other schools of Vedanta.
Which differentiate between the source of all consciousness, and the parts of that Person.
The Energetic and the Energy are different, very similar though but different.
Really impressive. Like other commenters, I’m surprised by how much clear eyed and compelling thinking you’ve been able to cram into such a relatively short video.

The statement 'consciousness is the universe experiencing itself' really implies a lot the more you think about it. Dissolving notions of self/other or us and the universe, WE are the universe experiencing itself and also provides the answer to 'what is the meaning of life'................................ To experience yourself......A beautiful simplicity if ever I heard it.
Consciousness isn’t the universe experiencing itself. The universe is consciousness experiencing itself.
Life has no meaning beside its own existence. We lack awareness therefore we're afraid and selfish.
In dreamtime (quantum) the universe and our bodies meet itself. In realitytime we are met by the reflections and eccoes from distant places and distant times.. To me the oldest religion we know is the one that makes most sense.
@@ellengran6814 I agree with your comment. You worded that in a way that makes perfect sense. In the dreamworld we experience the universe more profoundly with deeper connection. While awake, it is like echoes and reflections.

Very well made presentation! I appreciate the research and the production effort! I hear you talking about value - but you never mention the phenomenon "love", which is an inexplicable force just like consciousness itself with which it is intertwined. Of course many viewers might see that as a shift from the scientific approach to a more esoteric one, but the fact that we don't have quantifiable scientific data on it doesn't mean we can simply ignore it. But again, well done - please keep producing great content like this! Happy new year!
Love and consciousness are two different things. Consciousness is the soul when we are awake and love is when the soul attaches itself to someone or thing.
@@jeffforsythe9514 Im not so sure that love needs attachment. Pure love to me is the final goal.
Another amazing documentary. The topics you cover are fascinating and I hope you continue making more documentaries for your page because I believe it will help your great channel grow even more. As someone who is not religious I have never been satisfied with the materialistic atheist view of existence. More and more I started thinking about it and realized something must be eternal and anything that is eternal conflicts with the rational scientific way we perceive our physical reality and universe.
Some may consider eternal mathematics, physical forces, multiverse being more rational than eternal consciousness but it is not. They are all irrational from our current understanding of reality with all things needing a cause and having a beginning, present, and end. True eternal nothingness cannot exist without nothingness being eternal. Any way in which something can be created from nothing would mean there is a "law" that would allow nothingness to conjure up something which would mean that nothingness never existed in the first place. There must be some eternal element to existence and it seems the most logical is consciousness.
Eternal quantum mechanics cannot conjure up particles from a void of nothingness. Eternal consciousness can create material existence from nothing as the material is only an illusion created and experienced by consciousness.
Thanks very much. The next video will also be a documentary style thing too, exploring conscious superintelligence. Your view resonates with me. There are a variety of compelling avenues into why consciousness is central to existence. I like this phrase of yours, "True eternal nothingness cannot exist without nothingness being eternal." Clearly something else, more like consciousness, is required.
So matte r is a joke
"True eternal nothingness cannot exist without nothingness being eternal." I love it!!!
I wish my English was good enough to make a comment. The only thing I can say is: if one day , a Man can be able to come out of his body, contact his soul , learn from it, and could come back to his body; may find out the answer to ( what is consciousness).
The idea that consciousness is fundamental is eerily similar to Judaism claim of how God works: that it is an infinite consciousness pervading all of reality.
Love this shorter documentary style, very insightful and so important to be bridging the gap between spirituality and science.
Thank you! That's really nice to hear.
The body is like an aircraft, the brain is the cockpit and the soul is the pilot.
I suggest that consciousness is the ground of being. That it is universal and always was and always will be. I suggest that life is self aware because it is conscious and that is the wondrous beauty of what makes life special. Consciousness itself has no bounds of time or dimension and the universe is in essence an idea in the mind of God

Beautiful expose', revealing there can be no other primordial source to existence than what mystic philosopher, Rudolf Steiner, refered to as "the supersensible."

We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness." - Max Planck
He did know a thing or 2 about a thing or two...lol wise man indeed. We need more of his type of understanding than the ones who are determined to find out the meaning of everything. We have not the time or the mental capacity as 1 person to ever be able to dissect and interpret the countless details of existence and doing so only holds us back from accomplishing more useful and meaningful discoveries.
Looking forward to watching this when I get home today... will also sign up as a patron while I'm at it... thanks for the great content so far.. greetings from Australia..
Awesome, thank you!

This induces some form of enlightment in me and others for sure. Great visual choices all along the video, especially the eye having roots into everything and the universe looking into it's own self, aware of it's existence. That last one mentioned got to me quite intensely too.
Your consciousness is simply your soul when you are awake.
@@jeffforsythe9514 soul is very skewed term, according to buddhism there is no self and definantely not soul, what is awaken/consicous in us/universe is one not individual like "soul". so called different/varying 'reality" of observer/self is nothing but view from different angles of same football ground(consiousness) but ultimately we are part of one ground whose intrinsic nature is constant.
PS; this is just by mere understanding of reality and consiousness based on a few years of buddhist. my view could be irrevelent based on your observation , its fine

This is one of the best videos i have ever seen on the topic of consciousness and its hard questions. Thank you so much for making this, it has a lot of valuable information.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for participating in the evolution of consciousness so beautifully 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it Stefanie!
I believe you have presented a well researched documentary that covers many essential areas of historical and current thinking.
Thank you.
Thank you. That's really nice to hear.
Nice article! It is stimulating to realize that as humans we really lack the knowledge and intelligence to understand what's happening. That gives us lots of room for new interesting discoveries.
Exactly! There are so many open questions.

One of the best videos about consciousness on RUclips.
Wow. Thanks dude!
I am today almost 86, but I remember vividly the instant as a baby, when I became conscient. My mother told me years later, that I was nine months old, and called "mama" To become conscient, from the baby 's sleep, is exactly like when waking up in our life. Reality is there to welcome us in its embrace. It was for me as a baby a strong feeling of awakening to the reality of life and the universe. The way it happened is the following: I was in the arms of one of my older sisters, Maria or Stina. The first time I became awaken and conscient was for about 35 seconds, then I fell back in my baby's deep sleep. The day after, same situation, in the arms of one of my sisters. This time I came to reality to stay, and I called mama!. As a baby, to be conscient of awakening to life is exceptional. I try to make of this memory something that could clarify a special reality of life and consciousness together for myself and for scientists like yourself.
interesting story
@@davidegigante This my reality. It is not a story.
Many are simply unaware that being conscious is a mystery of life.
20 + years ago I was haunted by the same question of what consciousness is. Then after years of reading, searching through the net and self inquiry I somehow got to undestading that it was the wrong question. The right question to ask is : How to become more conscious and not what consciousness is.
Thank you, thank you. I have read and read and tried to grasp the knowledge. I've ome to realize that knowledge is not necessarily wisdom. What I learned is that small doses of knowledge seem to assimilate in my mind AND heart much easier. So this is perfect. So appreciative. 💙💜
What an incredible RUclips site. Great Job!
Much appreciated!
Just discovering this video now. Mind blown. Love it. For whatever reason, this stuff gives me peace.
Is it just a coincidence that this video is the eighth result after a youtube search query on just on the word "documentary", and that it is the most intellectually stunning, and useful video I've seen in a long while of possibly ever? I always kept my spiritual interests and my scientific curiosity separate. One born in childhood from a childrens encyclopedia and many visits to the local library. The other born in adulthood on the internet. And in this video they merge, with me fully expecting nothing less than an atrocity but instead I find myself pausing the video in several places and pacing my room to cope with level of insight I'm toying with.
Glad to see such a serious, wide-ranging survey. Greatly enjoyed watching.
That's great to hear, Mike. Especially coming from you. We need to do another podcast brother!

Firstly, you have some greaty comments, some of the best I've seen and for good reason. Also, I just subscribed.
It was amazing and well down! I had to stop and rewind more then a few times but incredible lesson about consciousness. It was crazy how much you got to fit in a short amount of time. Fantastic video too.👍
Perfect and all of my lifelong quest to understand physics and philosophy have lead me on my own to these very questions. I am so connected to this in such a deep way as I feel what is covered in this is poking at why I am here and what this all is! Well done
I really love this perfectly soothing, yet mysterious background music. It keeps my attention & makes me want to hear more.
Consciousness is existence itself. Existence is consciousness. I exist, therefore I am...and vice versa-I am, therefore I exist. Nothing is separate from the other.

What I find interesting is we have evidence that our consciousness has the ability is survive independent of our brain. It says our brain is more like a tv set that takes in information and displays it rather than creating it. It's evidence of the existence if a spirit or a soul and God.
Rupert spira , Alan Watts , eckhart tolle. Helped me to get a good understanding of reality. Good video thanks 🙏 be wide open and let go of old beliefs that hold you back then the new ones you’ll eventually trash too cause it goes on and on and on . Infinitely interesting .
Adrian, your writing and production is second to none! Please don't stop! Your perspective is valued by many!
I believe what Max Planck said is correct: Consciousness is fundamental, matter is derivative from Consciousness.
The Mind requires a mechanism to understand how it could be that matter is derivative from Consciousness.
I suggest that mechanism is Perception In Consciousness.
If you can be made to accept that what you perceive is reality, what need is there for an actual objective physical reality? It would be redundant, and parsimony demands the simplest answer with the fewest assumptions.
Here are some basic assumptions:
We exist within a Consciousness Singularity, like a black hole made of Consciousness. Primary Consciousness.
We are partitioned bits of Primary Consciousness, holographically and fractally identical to Primary Consciousness, but with a separate self-awareness and point of view.
We are of, by, and within Consciousness.
We enter these limited iterations in order to evolve. We contribute our experience, Our Story to the Whole.
We do not physically exist. Therefore we cannot physically die. We transition to another Perception In Consciousness, as Near Death Experiences (NDEs) clearly indicate, experiences frequently described as much more real than real.
We're in an arena of choice & consequence with linear time progression.
In reality, we are timeless, eternal beings with a purpose.
Not some random fluke of natural law are we, but a deliberately created Consciousness in act of mental mitosis by Primary Consciousness, giving of itself for us to become who we are.
The Whole is incomplete without each and every one of us. We are unique. We have inherent value, meaning, and purpose.
The Whole is of a scale inconceivable to minds within human constraints.
Not simulation, not hallucination, not illusion. It is Perception.
Perception In Consciousness.
Excellent video!! Summary of most of the current theories of consciousness.
Instant favorite video. I’m going to watch it tens of times to absorb it properly. I know I will cause I’ve done it in the future ✨
Ah thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved it... Consciousness is so baffling to us. How can we really truly understand it. I love the search for understanding and meaning. It does seem that consciousness is primary.. we must start from this premise.. I think. Thanks for sharing.. keep up the awesome work. We will try to understand together and share our thoughts.
Thank a lot David. That's great to hear.
Thank you 🙏🏻 “The total number of minds in the universe is one. In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings” ~ Erwin Schrodinger
Just watched this again. One of the best presentations on this topic. An excellent overview. 🙏
A great documentary, exploring one of the deepest mysteries, the
Human mind , my best regards from California.
Very well done Adrian. Although I do prefer the longer ones, I appreciate that they take more time and work to create. This is still very thought provoking; I was wondering about Descartes' famous "cogito ergo sum", and whether it could be modified into "I am consciousness, therefore I, and everything else, is". It is interesting to consider the question of why does anything exist, and why _would_ it exist were there nothing for it to exist _for_ ? Itself? Yet we are simply the universe in the form of more _obvious_ consciousness, as waves in the ocean are still the ocean.
I'd like to make longer documentaries, but they do take a months to make. Yes, perhaps consciousness exists in both an implicate and explicate form - like features on a single body of water. David Chalmers suggested that Descartes ITTIA can today be updated to "I have consciousness, therefore I exist." So existence can at least be granted to something. Perhaps other lines can be deployed to argue that nothing exists outside of consciousness.
Your consciousness is simply your soul when you are awake.
You're back baby. I missed u
I've been here the whole time!
Consciousness ... where does it come from ... how does it know when to enter ... where does it reside ... what is its purpose ... and when it leaves where does it go?
FASCINATING SUBJECT. FOR DEEP THINKERS. BEAUTIFUL VIDEO.
THANK YOU. "👍"
So glad to come across this.
I have this understanding as part of my spiritual awakening. Good to see science catching up.
We live in fascinating times. Lots of people waking up and many more on the verge.
Hold on tight to life’s truths and believe in the power of belief. Be conscious in every moment as much as you can.
That’s what I’m doing. Just the best I can. 👍🙏🕊
Excellent documentary! Clear, well structured, well documented... and filled with challenging ideas that sent my mind racing. Thank you!
Consciousness is all that really exists. Everything is an expression of consciousness. Consciousness doesn't have to give rise to anything, because nothing else exists. Consciousness simply is. Expression is part of it's nature and there appears to be a bunch of different stuff as a result of this expression.
@Ruby Badilla
I'm not really disagreeing with you, but have never studied any school or system of religious or spiritual thought. I've read and been influenced by traditional thinking, but been basically observing and distilling my own experiences. I had a complete spontaneous kundalini awakening in 1978 I've also never been to college and even quit high school after eleventh grade. I'm not too agreeable towards book learning about spiritual matters, but am not against it. Meditation is the king of tools when it comes to the exploration of the nature of existence.
My point is that what we know of as our awareness is not only the very same awareness that's in all aware creatures, but is also that which we are aware of. Regardless of the terms used, the concepts that are currently being juxtaposed in the media are (C)onsciousness/(A)wareness as fundamental vs emergent. I have little interest in using traditional language, but do value the correct usage of language. Many people are turned off by traditional contexts. For example; I can explain Christian theology in biblical terms and people will be vehemently offended, but if I explain in my own words, even if they don't agree, they won't be offended and may even consider the concepts. Everything we know and say is just a particular way of connecting the dots. There is truth, but any explanation of it is not it.
"In recent years..." I've known the word consciousness in this context for about 50 years. Yes this is a drop in the bucket historically, but when you say recent years, I think of five or ten years.
I don't see us as having separate or our own minds, but a connection to the mind of God or Universal Mind. It's like a terminal to a mainframe of a client computer to a server or network. The brains of living creatures are like the hardware, as you state, and nervous systems are like the antennae, receiving and transmitting. The more developed the brain and nervous system, the more sophisticated the consciousness that's exhibited.
Once duality is transcended, there is no separation, thus no knower and known - no observer and observed, so everything that can be said is from the world of multiplicity or diversity.
Not only is the brain like a computer, but intelligence is like processing power, which is a function of clock speed times bandwidth or how quickly one processes information times the amount of information processed at once/per cycle.
Additionally, perception of the world is a digital sampling of an analog reality. Like the digitizing of an analog music signal, there is a sample rate and bit depth. Everyone has a slightly (or not so slightly) different sample rate and bit depth. Some people are [relatively] high resolution and some are [relatively] low resolution.
I wanted to share my points of view on all your points, but it began to seem like you were just espousing others' teaching rather than expressing the assimilation of your own experiences. Plus, I just don't have the time tonight. My browser is responding very slowly to my typing, too. I appreciate your response to my original comment as it gives me a chance to work out my thoughts. I've spent the last 25 years raiding four kids, mostly on my own, and am just getting back to my former purpose/interests. I live where i encounter very few other people and none of them are interested in this stuff. 😎
I wish I could get a single space between paragraphs, but if I use a single return, when posted my comments contain no space at all. If I use two returns, I get two spaces. Do you use a single return between paragraphs?
This is correct. There would be no reality without consciousness. I am a physicist who has researched the nature of physical and nonphysical reality for more than 40 years. The physical reality we experience as humans is only a simulation using fractal algorithms that create the world around us. The body is like an avatar that is used by the consciousness to operate within and experience this reality.
@@lytroo9776
Are you familiar with Donald Hoffman's work? I'm encouraged by it. I'm thinking there's hope for humanity after all.
This material world can't be beyond consciousness if we can observe it, and it can't by nature be alien to consciousness if we can know it. The conscious nature and the unconscious nature are just two sides of the same coin called " reality "
@@williamburts5495
Who said anything about being beyond consciousness? I said it's all consciousness.
This channel is going to be huge, I just know it. People are slowly waking up
Interstellar plays on that idea of the universe creating itself. An absolutely amazing film if you've never seen it.
I've seen it and I'm wondering how you came to that conclusion
This kinds of topic has fascinated me infinitely more than my trivial daily routines!
RUclipsrs are now driving the debate in humanities and philosophy. I think that is beneficial to these disciplines.
Thanks! I hope so!
Great summary, as always. Some of the physicalist ideas challenge me, but it is truly needed if we are to face existence. Quantum mechanics seems to brush with spirituality more and more. I've just discovered the Kabbalah and much of it's cosmology has layers to it like many of the scientific theories. These “Emanations” of reality are considered God's consciousness outpouring to form the universe (or perhaps the multiverse). This kind of spirituality works better in my mind and I believe aligns with much of what you present. Also, that was a great ending! Gave me a burst of hope and wonder I was needing.
Love that word, "emanations." Very numinous. Stoked you found it inspiring my friend.

Nothing comes from nothing. Something comes from something else. Reality starts from the imagination, imagination forms from reality. Hence the cycle between the two creates wonderments and sadly it also creates disappointments

Unstablness looking back to stablness. ...
So which one came first and how do you know?
@@eugenecoleman8525 imagination, imagination is the force of creation. Everything that exists including technology commence in someone's imagination, it's not unreasonable to assume that all that is nature came from nature's imagination , or God's imagination if you are religious.😊
I think you missed the problem here. If reality comes from the imagination, and the imagination forms with in reality, you end up with a chicken and the egg problem, and fall in to an infinite regress of events.
While I find it an interesting thought, I don't see any reason to believe that there was someone or something to imagine the universe if you're saying the imagination came first.
While this can all be fun and interesting to think and speculate about, I'm having the same problem here as I did with the video. That being a lack of evidence or argument to demonstrate there is any truth behind the idea. The video was well made, but all it did was make a bunch of claims without providing any evidence for them, just speculation and pointing to a bunch of things we don't fully understand ie: consciousness, quantum mechanics, and the origin of the universe.
A wonderful presentation of beautifully compelling and transcendent ideas.
Subscribed. This very well summarized my recent thoughts on this subject and expanded on it giving me more to think about. I've always wondered what's up with science never actually giving a real explanation. As stated in your video, it always calls for more explanation. I really do thing the nature of conciousness is what we need to research if we want to truly understand our reality.
Science can be represented by the conmen tailors who conned the King into making him a magnificent robe and garments. So magnificent that only the most regal and intelligent people were able to see. But these fake clothing were realized during his procession through his kingdom when a young innocent boy began laughing and pointing at the King and proclaiming that the King was NAKED. When all the people in the kingdom began to laugh at that reality the king was totally humiliated and commanded his soldiers to get the tailors he paid bags of gold to and to have their heads removed from their shoulders. The illusion of this 3rd (material) and 4th (time) dimensional hologram is all made of the material, including our human bodies, but our consciousness (the little boy) can see that our very consciousness which allows us to enjoy and experience the material universe, is not itself, material. Our consciousness is not subject to the limitations of time and space and the material. That is why science can never find it, let alone explain it or even define it. And that is why their material heads will roll and their non material consciousness will laugh at their lack of vision and wisdom. The last six dying words of Steve Jobs were: “oh wow,… Oh Wow,…OH WOW!” Don’t wait for your head to roll before you discover that it was us, the consciousness, which is eternal, made the moon and the whole universe for that matter.
Eastern yogic science had been working on consciousness for at least six to eight thousand years by now. Unfortunately invaders burnt down most of the libraries existed at universities and only few percentage material remains scattered in villages. No one knows for sure that how much we had lost. They were able to talk telepathically, read each others mind if allowed and travel in other dimensions. We are just beginning to explore those realms. I have seen glimpses of those dimensions while meditating and whose side effects are pure joy and happiness. It gave me the experience of reality that indeed everything is connected. I hope science systematically start exploring those dimensions of reality and not just stay focused on material world only. Western science and eastern yogic science reminds me of the encounter of Alexander and yogi. Alexander asked yogi, "What are you doing?" and yogi said politely, "I am exploring nothing." Then, yogi asked alexander.., "What are you up to?" Alexander proudly replied, "I am conquering the world." Then both started laughing at each other uncontrollably while pointing at each other and exclaimed, "What a fool..!"
An unfocused mind is the Devil's playground.
@@TeaParty1776 And what have you achieved with focused mind? Love to hear about it.
@@acpatel9491 Our scientific-industrial-capitalist civilization that has reduced ancient global poverty to 8%. But even a hunting-gathering culture has some minimal use of mans power of focusing his mind, thru his senses, onto the concrete, material civilization. Hunting food animals with spears and gathering berries requires a focused mind. There are no mystical powers, as you imagine above, that will do that when man takes leave of his senses and goes out of his mind. Man must mentally work to guide the physical work needed to survive.

I loved this video! I’m really intrigued by the idea of a value-driven universe. To me, the idea of ‘value’ seems so subjective and dependent on perspective, so I’m really curious to read more on this concept and learn how it’s defined 😄

This all makes totally sense! Thank you very much! 🙏
Beautifully done. Thank you 🙏🏼🌌
I studied Buddhism for 4 yeas and of course meditation, where my Ajan tought to just observe, observe. Something that at the time was strange to even comprehend but something that all great musters of spirituality have done, to sit and observe as if there’s something magical that has more meaning than any activity in contrast. So when this theory culminates as to we been the eyes of the universe, I can only agree, it is us and our existence that give meaning to existence it self.
Great documentary Adrian. I want more! I’m going to up my patreon contribution- once I’m out of the bath... thank you! keep safe and keep up the good work 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
We are conscious, and therefore only experience the universe perceivable by consciousness. This leaves the question "Couldn't there be other things outside the realm of our consciousness that exist?" Isn't it naive to think that our limited sense of consciousness perceives all that exists. How can we not be naive to reality beyond consciousness?
Ross Brandli that's perception, not consciousness
No it’s not naive. Even if there is anything ‘outside’ consciousness how would you ever perceive or know it, because it’s always outside consciousness?
Very interesting and also very speculative. I have studied quantum meta physics in a discussion group for some time. The mysteries of the present time are very interesting and complex.
Fascinating and thought provoking, even though I can't get my mind round most of it. More, please!
