I had a near-death experience a few years ago when I suffered a pulmonary embolism while hiking. My experience rattled me because when I died I was an atheist and had no prior preparation to experience anything other than nothingness upon death. I did not have any beliefs and I was not raised in an environment that fostered such thinking. I scoured everything for a few years trying to find a philosophy or religion that matched my after life experience and new beliefs. All the while trying to live a normal life and not seem too unhinged to my friends and family. Lol. Trust me, three years ago I was not thinking or talking about existence, or quantum physics, or epigenetics, or fracturing...And like everyone else I was just trying to survive. I got a degree in psychology and a good psychotherapist right away because I didn't know what else to do. I didn't understand I was seeking spirituality. Suddenly I was an outsider among a crew who all still live by the ego and doesn't believe in a soul. I am actually seeking a mix of spirituality, physics, and alchemy and game theory. Your channel and another channel called Your Youinverse make me feel less alone in my belief systems. Nobody in my everyday life likes discussing topics of such depth and that's all I want to do now! Understanding your mind, especially the subconscious mind, is a top priority. My experience of another place separate from this life taught me that I am in a projected reality separate from my suspended form that is emerging and learning, shaping its conscious form. Becoming self aware and my thoughts and feelings are an algorithm steering the ship so to speak. I know I am "suspended" in another dimension. I know it's a shared platform. I know there is a "code". I know the structure of our foundation is made of an ethereal silver light and I am certain that a being of light particles spoke to me through crushing vibrations and strings of mental imagery that I am still trying to decipher. Lol, it's alot. It's tough to fit in after something like this happens and I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this kind of content. After my nde it is helping to re-orient all the chaos surrounding my massive shift in thought. So, thank you. 🤗
Wow, that's fascinating, thank you for sharing! I've had a similar story, including delving into psychology to find spirituality, and I went from super religious to atheism to finding God in the world around me in every moment!
@blsil7863 thankyou for sharing your nde and thereafter. I had a similar. Mine was 20+ years ago... Recently I discovered the youtube nde channels and was amazed...how it has exploded on the internet. I had been a hermit essentially so this discovery brought me out. My medical event gave me courage to be true to me... so living a life where awareness is my number 1. Cognitive (so psychology and pyschotherapy).. is ranked very low in my reality. I also studied these also in my 10 years research and walked away... built on foundation paradigms that do not honour human being magnificence that we are... pure light we are. My medical/nde event, essentially means I could transmute all the contractions (aka non-love in our being). Also means old crew are experienced differently but not less. Maybe you can do that.. so any experience with the 'old' crew will transmute and return to love. I now watch Charlie Goldsmith alot.. as after my 10 years zealous research he is the first energy healer that relates to awareness like my experience.. And he heals for free... and speaks of it all, so naturally and least woo woo, for me. I have watched him heal now up to 30 cases that medical + psy have failed to help. After my many modalities and lots of $$ research, I realised there is much nonsense in energy healing, another realm for people to over promise and under deliver., and also some truth. Too many people project their own experience rather than understand the nature of reality. Charlie is the one exception for me. I have done most of the energy healing modalities out there and most are superficial. I had to learn to trust self and live by my truth. Charlie is showing that also and emphasising using our own creativity to explore our gifts. His conviction in self is the most inspiring.. as this is along side humbleness. Once I accepted my rage for having to come back here to earth... the fullness of my gifts begun to be experienced. I had felt ashamed I was not valuing life on earth .. as where ever I went makes here look miserable and backward. Now I realise I can create that experience here, often, the more I live from my awareness versus from my brain. I found heartmath instititue helpful and realising when I am in heartbrain coherence was revealing (aka gifts are online versus offline). I hope this helps.
That is quite an experience and transformation. You could say you jumped to a new dimension and are now trying to understand the rules of your domicile. I have come to the awakening process from a completely different experience, but that is not important. What is important is that you are asking relevant questions. Know that now since you removed the filter of 'there is nothing beyond this existence' there will be no philosophy or religion or anything that will satisfy your experience. Through your seeking you will create another every bit as valid as any other that may incorporate some aspects of some and exclude aspects of others. We are all the same yet vastly different mostly because we experience our existence through the lens of fear based filters from previous years. If you want a really interesting and rewarding 'cheat sheet' tip that will help you the most consider this: Spirituality (Consciousness) is fundamental. Then Alchemy (manipulating reality by living through your heart and have it direct the processes of the brain. Game theory: The directed and intentional use of Alchemy. And then Physics which when you master the other three along with a degree of patience and gratitude the laws of physics seem to bend to your will. It takes dedication and commitment and may not be easy in the beginning but once you start seeing that you are the director of your life, your heart expands, the depth of your Intellect develops and you will have another paradigm shift from fear to love. This is all new to me too and now my heart is filled with joy all the time. Cheers.
This is exactly what I needed right now. I often find myself so bored and disinterested in what our collective day to day reality is, always feeling like there has to be more, and wishing we could all exist in it more.
It is the ultimate in human irrational narcissism.....to think or crave that there is anything more. We are barely above inanimate matter when it comes to understanding the universe and reality at the cosmic scale. There is no chance there is anything more because we aren't anything special.
@@alexcielvieira3548 everything about the nature of our existence beyond what can be proven is an opinion. Calling the deep desire to “must know that there’s something more “ narcissism…..is a fact 😁

I love how Donald H and the team of scientists he works with brought the science and spiritual closer. Now you see more and more PHDs, scientists, researchers...talk about spiritual concepts. Donald has been instrumental for this inevitable marriage(merger of the spiritual and science) as they are practically the same. Hopefully, we see some amazing technologies come out of his work. Most importantly, the loving, kind, collaborative mindset of this man to serve as an example to the collective consciousness of all of us human beings!
I agree Donald is head and shoulder above space/time physicists. His interpretation of his work is validating what Max Planck asserted a hundred years ago that Consciousness is fundamental and it is only fundamental because of the limited quality of the filters that our Consciousness has to truly see the reality of our experiences. Once we understand the nature of our Consciousness from a fundamental level we will also see that there are other 'forces' that create our Consciousness that will allow us to remove some of the limiting filters and start to see and understand through different filters that give us greater clarity of what this experience we call reality actually is.
@elonever.2.071 Another idea that seems to gain more and more approval in the spiritual communities is that it is presumed that there is an infinite amount of realities and dimensions. Everything is so complex...it is made in such a way that no one thing would ever know the ultimate truth. Sometimes, I ponder if the insatiable thirst for discovery and curiosity for the unknown can be the forever drivers for us if we manage to find the key to aging, disease, and senseless self-destruction.
This is the best interview of Hoffman that I've seen. He is so well-spoken, humble, open-minded. But above all he is a true scientist who demands rigor and proof from himself, his team, and all other scientists investigating consciousness. This interview takes the approach of "inquiring minds want to know," and I appreciate Duqum's questions. But anyone interested in Hoffman's ideas should also watch the 13 Hoffman videos on Closer to Truth because he gets a lot of skepticism and pushback, yet is still able to defend his ideas quite successfully.
"Truth Transcends Proof". Prof. Donald Hoffman's work is profound. I guess most of us are searching for the truth of the One-in-all. Thanks for sharing these insights!

Beautifully spoken ✨ This body mind, while walking through the mall, has what some might call a glimpse, in this or during this glimpse all I could say that was seen, is utter emptiness, the mall turned into a golden tone-ish light (sorta like a scene on a stage coming to an end as the lights fade) I was walking one direction and suddenly turned to look back, only to see this body as what I can only explain as "transparent photos" coming towards what I knew was "me" but not the me from within this body. In-between those photos of this body coming towards me, was what we can all see directly in front of our faces, "nothing between other things we tend to see" that was sorta moving the photos of this body. Mind you, what I know as my true self or the self, was not this body but the actual fabric of "nothingness itself" What I am getting at is, what was seen and known is the nothingness as true and everything and on some level, we all know this ALREADY, because that nothingness, is where everything arises from, that nothingness is, as, by ect, all that exists. Which cannot be explained within words, ideas, theories, story's, beliefs, ect, yet, there is an attempt to explain an experience of it, if that makes any sense, it doesn't to this body mind, but might to another.
Most of Donald Hoffman's ideas were new and challenging to me, however I 100% enjoyed this mind stimulating conversation. I love to examine new ideas that can help me unravel, in my limited understanding, the mystery of why we are here and what this is all about. Hoffman is a brilliant and open-minded researcher who is not wedded to any particular theory or idea, but acknowledges that, as he said, "Nothing should be sacrosanct". He also stated in this interview, "No matter how smart you are, it's going to be trivial to the reality beyond". I wish all scientists had this mentality, since the only way we are going to advance, is if we continue to question old ideas and contemplate, sometimes seemingly impossible, new ones. What has been holding us back for centuries is that people, and I feel scientists in particular, hold on to their ideas even after the proof is pointing to an alternative truth. I would love to have the intellect and training to participate in his research. We need more like him and I believe we would be a lot further along if scientists and researchers took his approach. Thank you for this conversation. I will continue to research these ideas which I find stimulating and fascinating. Please bring more like this.
These are not new ideas among philosophers.....these are the ideas philosophers proposed centuries before...now scientiests are buying these ideas into their theories
@@andreavanda5402 the power of a being is creativity like its own Creator. Scientists are duplicators, modifiers and adaptors. Telling you metaphors of existing knowledge. Boring, lacking pure innovation. They know, they are afraid dealing with me and other outstanders being a Psychosopher & Monadologist.
Donald Hoffman is a visionary thinker, providing groundbreaking insights into the mysteries of the universe and the unseen. His profound contributions to our understanding are both significant and inspiring. Hoffman's passion for his work is evident and contagious, shining through in every conversation. He is driving humanity toward profound realizations and a deeper comprehension of reality and empty space. Peace be with you Brother
Andre, you are a fantastic interviewer. You ask great questions and truly listen. I can hear the space you hold for your guest. You have such a gift. Thank you!! Donald is amazing!! Thank you both 🙏🏼
I teared up a few times during this mind blowing conversation. I am student of Advaita Vedanta and am so excited to follow the research that Dr H is pursuing that will help further establish the theory of the avatars that has been the core of Advaita Vedanta.
Somewhere out there in a different existence we live as pure consciousness. What you don't realize is that we went through a hell of a lot of trouble and it takes a hell of a lot of energy to create the physical experience you are experiencing. Don't waste your time worrying about what's out there so much as enjoying what's here. Because once you lose your physical form you will return to where ever you came from and there's no guarantee you will ever be able to experience this reality as a physical being ever again.
Even if this theory was true and our consciousness was let say "unplugged" from physical reality upon death...we wouldn't know it was us after physical death since memories and personality are physical neurons/synapses in the brain...therefore IF this theory is true, we didn't know before we were born and we won't know after we are dead, which is the same as nothing before and nothing after. Self awareness and personality is what makes each one of us and gives us the illusion of "being". Without it we are literally nothing.
@@JaeohnEspheras Yes, remnants of you, would not be "you"...as in "you" as a personality and self-awareness. Even if you got in an accident and come out with permanent memory loss, you are a new person and not who you were before.
"Self-awareness and personality makes each one of us and gives the illusion of being" Very close!! Self-awareness and personality is our ego which is our separate way of experiencing Realty. Before & After death we return to the source code we came from and therefore there is no ego of being separate because we are all connected and don't have individual experiences anymore because everything is one@@makdrumz
@@brucemacmillan9581so original. How many 'witches' did y'all burn Bruce which were sanctioned by the church? Hmm... Millions. We correct our wrongs whereas y'all justify it.
@@brucemacmillan9581 bring out the word "caste" from any of the Hindu scriptures, we'll wait. Even the word "caste" is Portugese term. Caste system was brought by British after they divided people and made deep division and isolated societies when they instilled hatred into the minds of people for their own gain. No Hindu scriptures mentions caste system, instead they mentions varnas, which are based on their own desired duty, which they are capable of doing in life. But some Marxist historians purposefully mistranslated the scriptures and made it sound like a law or system. Don't let me start talking about slavery in Christianity!
I have been casually exploring some of the concepts like agnosticism, limitation of languages and Gödel's incompleteness theorem for years. Your content touches so many topics I had interests in… Thank you André and Dr. Hoffman! Great collab❤🎉😊
Spirituality is creating your own reality by learning from your stepping stones and raising your vibration to be your best self and achieve your mission goals in this lifetime.
actually this makes alot sense to me... i kind of live like that whithout even being aware of the tradition. it just feels natural to me... i mean most religions are more about power and control then anything else ... they lost the essence ... i think those 4 core principles are the essence and also the reason why its just healthy to choose to live by thees "values". ….. being spiritual not religeous... doing the right thing for the greater good not just for personal gain... no need to live on your knees as long you dont put those close to you down. dont be so greedy. there would be enough for all of us... but yo i guess every herd got its black sheep but the european mind is more down whith the devil, the EGO ... false light blindet by there beauty lol . ...who are the real Savages? not everything that shines is gold... the devil is a liar. no matter which shade of brown or whatever... positiv giving or Negative taking... balance just some thoughts and thnx for providing these infos.

Yes, Dhitik_scott. She has been my spiritual therapist for a while now. She’s amazing and natural. She has really been helpful guiding me in unlocking my full potentials spirituality is a right meant for everyone to enjoy, I’ve experienced so much spiritual awakening and healing period over the years now just for her sake.
Just listened to anna brown and now don Hoffman. Combine the 2 and know you are eternal, death is an illusion, life is awsome and joy is your true reality. ✌️
I think we all get the opportunity to perceive and experience life in a unique way. I am a believer that consciousness is eternal, but death is not an illusion. Death is a certainty in our reality. It might represent a transfer of consciousness, but in our experience, it is inevitable. The concept of "joy" is subjective and tied to our current circumstances. Many people around the world don’t get to experience the same sense of joy-does that mean they’re not part of our true reality? Life seems like a test, with each of us facing different levels of difficulty. Some start in "easy mode" with money but end up feeling miserable, while others have to search for the tools to find joy despite tough situations. Some endure unimaginable hardships and never discover what true happiness means. Either way I do thank god for the opportunity to experience this life, and we must accept and endure every aspect of it, regardless what it may consist.
@@digitaldecibles : "Some endure unimaginable hardships and never discover what true happiness means." If you do not know what happiness is you can never be unhappy.
@@s.muller8688 not knowing what happiness is doesn’t necessarily prevent unhappiness. In fact, many people suffer deeply because they are acutely aware of what they lack, even if they don’t have a clear definition of happiness.
Can’t wait to see the day when Mr Hoffman’s discoveries about the conscious nature of our reality are going to be acknowledged by the entire world, including the science community! That’ll be the miracle 🎉
"Can't wait to see the day..." -- I've been waiting for that day since 1969, when I first dropped LSD. My guess is that a substantial portion of the science community will be open to the primacy of consciousness by late 21st century. But because corporate economics, political power and media--not neuroscience--determine cultures, civilization will have to descend into near oblivion before that day emerges. Perhaps there will be a remnant--a miracle indeed.
As we interact with the quantum field of infinite possibility we are both the story and the storyteller. Donald Hoffman and others like him deserve a medal.
Actually Donald Hoffman got a lot of his ideas from different sources. He's more of a parrot than a genius but you're just not aware of these sources. You sound naive.
@@thomasbenham9316this whole idea that there is only consciousness and the rest is just a convincing story is found in many metaphysical writings of today and older writings from the past. Donald Hoffman is very derivative in many aspects of his thinking. Things may sound good at first but apply it to your everyday living and see if what he is saying is not just some kind of philosophical claim or mere assertion that sounds good but in fact is only an illusion. An example would be someone who gets into an unfortunate accident, and then tell that person: well your responsible because you're writing your story. And that's just the beginning to test this kind of thinking. You don't really know until you're there in that kind of situation. Whether it's you or a friend of yours. It's fun to say things that we're just telling each other stories and that's all there is to life, but then there is life. Is there anything more than just stories and storytellers? And how are you to actually know that? Question everything.
Love the integration of science, mysticism, and philosophy as they all play an important part towards our collective evolution ❤ Thank you to everyone that helped bring this interview into our shared reality ❤🎉
I absolutely adore Donald Hoffman. The first I ever saw him was a TedX talk where he gave just a light overview of how our perception is not of "True" reality, and it ended there. I was hooked; he was making statements that, evident as they might be, were out of place for a scientist with a PhD to say. I'm so thrilled to see where his work has gone and absolutely *cannot* wait to see where it goes! ❤
I'd love to hear you interview Anil Seth and Lisa Feldman Barrett as a continuum of this astounding discussion on this non-reality, counterintuitive experience we construct but think we perceive! Fascinating and mind-boggling!
What an amazing interview. First time watching this channel and boy was I blown away with this thought provoking discussion on consciousness. Thank you so much for this conversation!!
So NO thoughts … recently I’ve heard ppl saying that you can’t screen thoughts out. However, in 2018, I had what I call my second awakening where I moved from experiencing a feeling of bliss, only a few times from simple breathing exercises, to following Joe Dispanzas deeper mediations and encountering a pure brilliant, perfect geometric, expending tunnel, in which an hour had passed but it felt like minutes. In that moment, I was utterly captivated, in total peace. It’s like the thought mechanism switches to an awareness feeling only. The moment I thought what if I go out of my body with it and can’t find my way back, it caused a rupture and so my conscious mind blocked what I was seeing and feeling in my awareness. Great stuff 🙂 to even have an experience like that. One amongst many since I arrived in this consciousness as an embryo.
Lol. I did the process backwards. I started off with wim hof. I have never in my life been able to meditate. I felt a silence. It was beautiful. For the first time. I then made and tried low dose DMT. It's exactly the same but obviously the drug is more powerful. Always let go!
Mr. Hoffman is a gift to humanity and a brilliant generous Scientist. Thanks for your channel and this brilliant interview. And of course to Donald. Grateful Aussie.
. "Nothing is real" -John Lennon Thank you André and Donald. This is the best education - no, this is the best moment of Grokking the difference between perceived reality and 'what is' that I have encountered since my first experience with LSD. Looking forward to listening in on more, with eyes closed and Mind open.
Excellent material. I’ve heard this dude on other podcasts and it didn’t hit quite as hard. It’s starting to click for me and honestly it’s a relief. A lot of loss lately and this definitely helps to reframe mortality
On 11/1/22, during a meditation session early in the morning, I had the inexplicable but very real experience of leaving my body. It started with an increasing internal tremor until my entire body was vibrating, I remember hearing my wooden headboard hitting the wall in unison with this vibration. Then an auditory stimulation that sounded like rushing water, also increasing, until it was a roaring and with a whoosh my mind was severed from my body and from my physical reality. Actually, I fell out of my body and into/through a tunnel of absolute darkness. I had the distinct feeling of wind rushing past me as I continued to fall. Then, the worst part began, which is something I’m still struggling with emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. The increasing speed with which I traveled/fell through this dark tunnel then caused a buffeting that felt as if the searing wind was peeling my skin back in certain parts of my body. Soon, it felt like, as if parts of me being ripped out of my very fabric. Essential pieces of me, tearing away like shingles off a roof during a hurricane. There was immense pain associated with this experience. I balled up in midair to prevent myself from being shredded. I feared that I would cease to exist and turn into confetti in the wind. Then, the falling sensation ended, and with that, the rushing/roaring wind, the falling and the painful tearing and shredding. I had fallen into an absolute Void, a vacuum of utter and impenetrable darkness. I remember trying to use my physical senses, which seemed so clunky, unrefined and strange in this environment. I expanded my consciousness to perceive my surroundings, but all I remember was being suspended in this Void, utterly alone with an increasing feeling of isolation and loneliness. Time, as we understand it, isn’t really anything that translates to this Void….but according to my watch, I spent 7 hours in this state. I laid down on my bed shortly after 7:30am and regained my physical consciousness before 3pm. I’m struggling to find words to describe the how or ways-and-means with which I clawed my way back to myself, but sheer willpower was at the core of it. My “old self” died that day. The person who willed herself back into a physical body had lost the “bits and pieces” that made me uniquely me. All the things that were previously important, or infused my life with happy excitement, were gone. Worst of all, since 11/1/22, I have lost the ability to “connect to my heart.” I still feel emotional pain and all the not-so-nice stuff in my chest, but I’m unable to feel the warm, expanding, loving feeling that was previously always present in such quantity that I often had the feeling my heart was flowing over with love. Now, my chest cavity is numb and reminiscent of the dark, vacuous Void. I’m sure that something transpired in this Void that I was not allowed to remember. As much as I wreck my brain to remember, I have no memory of interacting with anything or anyone. I am no longer the person I have been prior to this experience. I struggle with the perception of time, which is important in terms of short-term memory and overall orientation. Sometimes, yesterday feels like it was a month ago, and on the other hand, a week no longer feels as long as it used to. I no longer care, not the least bit, about the material things in life. I was never extremely materialistic, but had some things I was saving up for. None of them even register at all. My link to nature has increased, and often only a walk in the woods will provide me with the feeling of connection to this reality. Anyways, this is hopefully a concise story of an inexplicable experience. I truly feel like that “I died before dying.” I feel lost, floating in a reality that I now know to be nothing but a drama/play in which my role was canceled, but I’m somehow still on stage. Life is stranger than I could’ve imagined in my wildest dreams
Sorry you had this distress g experience it's quite often the reverse people seem to have amazing feelings of love when out of body but I was thi king as I read this go into nature, I try to walk everyday in the meadows woods by the river and its very meditative, and is the most real and I feel Spirituality connected to source 💚
I had an experience which resulted in similar outcomes as you. I think what causes these feelings is that your view of the world and all that was important to you has fallen away, but that's good, because a lot of what we hold onto and think of ourselves is not really us. You say you no longer care about materialistic things anymore, ultimately that's a good thing, but it shows what value you used to give to material things as a source of your happiness, but this is not true happiness. I went through the exact thing with materialism. It's a very jarring experience, especially to happen in such a short space of time as mine was too. But over time, you will start to value the right things and realise what matters and the love will return more than ever I'm sure. ❤
Years ago, my friend died and came back. She came back a different person, angry at the world. She was adamant that she went to a dark void filled with nothingness. I wasn’t mature enough then to ask her the right questions then. I don’t even remember pressing her properly. I stupidly glossed over it. She died permanently 2 years after. Now I am much wiser but she’s gone and I can never ask her what I wish I could now
"WHEN SCIENCE BRINGS MYSTICISM BACK INTO THE SCIENCES WE WILL MAKE MORE PROGRESS THAN EVER BEFORE." Nicola Tesla. GREAT WORK Donald Hoffman!! 🙏 Thank you for this podcast 🙏
Terrible idea. Mysticism does not belong in classrooms. What's next, astrology classes? There is lots of mysticism in Catholic schools - how many scientific breakthroughs came from those schools? Please...
My own view is that many people will listen to this information and think they understand it, but in reality they will not. I believe in a distinction between knowledge and understanding, in that understanding is not simply extensive knowledge, but emotional knowledge. I've tried for two decades to understand what it means for the world we sense to be created internally. Sometimes I get flashes of understanding but broadly speaking, it's beyond our capabilities to retain that understanding for any length of time. Evolution has seen to that. Still, it's worth the effort. When you feel it, when you feel what it is, it's like the universe opens up and you fall into the void, just for a second.
Hello, I LISTENED TO THIS COMPLETE INTERVIEW, WHICH BRINGS SO MUCH JOY AND EXCITEMENT TO ME. I HAVE IN THIS LIFE BEEN EXPANDING CONSCIOUSLY SINCE I WAS 7 YRS OLD. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MANY LIVES WITHING THE ONE. IN 1999, I HAD AN NDE. I HAVE PUT TOGETHER CLASSES TO EXPAND AND AWAKENED CONSCIOUSNESS. I AM NOW 64 YEAR AND HAVE RAISED 4 GRANDCHILD ON MY OWN FOR THE LAST 10 YRS. THEY ARE FOR CERTAIN NEW PORTALS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. WE TEACH EACH OTHER SO MUCH REFLECTION. I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF YOUR ROUND TABLE COMMUNITY. I WOULD SUGGEST 12 IN THE CIRCLE. 12 PERCEPTIONS. TRUTH. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR HUMANITY. BLESSING🙏
It’s interesting that you mentioned 12 perceptions and 12 in a circle. There were 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 months in a year, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 signs of the zodiac. The number 12 symbolizes perfection, entirety and the cosmic order.
Wow! That was litteraly mindblowing! Thank you so much guys! That was the closest „scientific“ attempt i‘ve ever heard getting close to the Mahamudra teachings of the Buddha! I feel blessed and lucky to experience my Avatar in a spacetime where you guys show up simultaniusly to pass on that spark! Keep going for the benefit of all!🙏🏻
@@IAm-wl4zd What about the you that typed that comment? If you don't exist either (guessing it's not just the person you're telling that they don't exist who doesn't exist, but all of us - yes?) how is that comment there? What is the evolutionary benefit to you to tell other people that they don't exist?
YES YES YES!!!!! AWESOME! This was seen and questioned as a little girl at age 6!!! Thought I was crazy So great to hear! Non duality speakers (some) are talkin this. Only issue I disagree with the radical non duality is them saying there isn't consciousness? Donald Hoffman is spot on!
I loved this conversation, so many tingles. I experienced a merging & deeper embodied understanding of conscious thoughts & explorations I’ve held for the past decade or so of awakened healing. Knowings such as “I am infinite” just clicked in a different way. I am excited to keep learning and hearing more as it’s helping me to figure out where to invest my energy in helping to awaken & empower myself and therefore others. 💛 thank you.

Quickly becoming my favorite channel. Thank you Andre for all these amazing interviews! I can't begin to tell you how inspired and fascinated I am at the deeper nature of reality and you're bringing it front and center.
Mr. Hoffman, I am interested in your thoughts on Conscious Agents outside of space/ time, such as obelisks might they be energy generators to hold a fixed set of dimensions possibly to hold specific fields of information, not all but a level that we can access but we can also go beyond in consciousness when we have the intelligence and understanding.
He’s alright. Imo, he’s a little too theoretical. He’ll say “If A is true, than…” and go on for twenty minutes about something, and I’m afraid too many people will infer it as factual, forgetting the “If” completely. I prefer Joscha Bach, although he’s not as much into astrophysics. But, for consciousness and cognition, he’s the GOAT.
We are ultimately larger consciousness (God) from which pieces individuated into individual units of consciousness (higher souls) from which pieces individuate into free will awareness units (souls) ... the iuoc (higher souls) does not have free will ... although it has individuated it remains touching the larger consciousness... think of iuoc as like the first rays that stretch off from the sun but yet remain connected to the sun and fwau as the sparks that completely fly away from the iuoc with freedom to experience all possibilities... when fwau dies it's experiences are kept in the Larger consciousness system (akash) while the qualities gained from the experience remain with the IUOCs and a new free will awareness unit individuates with all the newly gained qualities for new experiences (a life) ... a fwau (soul) is not eternally individual with free will... when it dies and its experience and qualities have been reviewed and stored it is no more... when "psychic" people connect with deceased or when they die and encounter relatives as described in many nde testimonials ... they're not encountering that fwau they're encountering larger consciousness system that has the record of all experiences... we free will awareness units are not one ... no more than 2 children from a same mother are one... and we are not eternal... our higher souls may return to larger consciousness but souls do not... you will not be able to pick up with your deceased grandmother where you left off when she died when you die ... we are only one thing but we become that and are no more... what would a great great grandmother be doing all these years? ... just waiting for family to die and come to her?
This is perfect. I have buried myself in “A Course In Miracles” and it 100% knowingly places itself smack in the middle of everything being said here. May I add, to an unexpected degree! it says that we imagined separation from God, but forgot to laugh. Our free will has put us into the only safe way to be separate from heaven, to be awake in a dream. And to top it off, it was all dictated by Jesus reconfiguring Christianity back to its original form. A way to actually “love your enemy”,…a way to actually “not despise an evil door.” 🎯Thanks for this unexpected vista❤️ Wow!
@@prateekwatwale4812 You're projecting. Buddha and Buddhism have nothing to do with science. And science has nothing to do with, or say about Buddhism.
@@brucemacmillan9581science has produced thousands upon thousands of scientific papers on oriental meditative practices and their physiological and brain change aspects. Almost all olympics practice mindfulnes or dipped into it. Contemplative practices have spread all over and through all layers of (Western) civilization. Come on. Peak experiences and performances have always been of outmost interest of humanity, and thus will always be part of scientific endeavor.
@@brucemacmillan9581 I'm a Buddhist nun and I can assure you there is a lot of collaboration between us and scientists. Quantum scientists a few years ago corroborated in a laboratory something lama tsong khapa said nearly a thousand years ago: that two beings can observe the same object and have contradictory perceptions and each of them be valid cognitions. This relates to the qbusm (Christopher Fuchs theory) that Hoffman talks about. For example
This was a very helpful perspective to have a conversation about. So far it definitely fits in with the bits and pieces of the puzzle that I am assembling for Self. Thank you both for what you do for a new way in the world.
I'm beginning to think I'm a Donald Hoffman fan. I don't know of a better description. His eloquence and translation of the bridges that connect science, and spirituality/philosophy in addition to speaking in regards to each individually backed by superb descriptions, is always educational, insightful and full of context and etc. etc. oh yea and personable etc etc..he's an actual paradigms shifter. thanks Donald and Andre. EDIT: I sent 1st part of comment halfway through before Andre's wave analogy, that was one of the best I've EVER heard. Had to come back with gratitude and add a thank you for the "wave" Andre..IT WILL BE USED :)
Regarding the Markov Chain within Stochaism: are we dealing with Change or Possibility or with Probability? What is the possible result after 100 x a '1' trowing a dice? Still 1 to 6. What is its probability? almost dZéRho. So is Stochaism about objectivity or about subjectivity?
We are souls taking a human experience in this world made of matter and energy, the goul is to discover our conscious and the main thing is to know who we are, and you only going to find it inside our head after we close our eyes, (meditating) There is another world, know yourself . My best wishes for all of you.
@@Abc123tyuas why are you here if you know that to be true? lol Either you’re very insecure with what you believe or just don’t have a life and choose to waste it on videos and comments that you don’t believe in.
Another mind breaking ? issue for Donald. Boltzmann's Density: what is its Destiny? Lower dimensions imply a higher and more differentiated density, so its destiny is changed or not? The Destiny's Density versus the Density's Destiny. What about Reality as some synonym? Where do Destiny and Density meet 'to become neutalized' regarding each other? Rethink: Mutality's Attractivity versus the Attractivity's Mutuality.
Reincarnation is a fascinating element in the Buddhist tradition...so many intriguing questions to explore. We seem wired to investigate mysteries and expand our direct consciousness of whatever is possible.
Reincarnation is not in Buddhist traditional , Buddhism don't teach reincarnation Buddhism does not teach a traditional concept of reincarnation involving a permanent soul, it does acknowledge the cycle of rebirth (samsara) influenced by karma. Reincarnation is in Hinduism core fundamental. What Donald Hoffmam Is discussing is already been discused vividly in Vedanta tradition.
In reality there are two types of consciousness, that manifast the reality, one is creator conciousness and other is observer conciousness, As soon as you are awake, you are synchronized to the base of all knowledge as your neural network is connected, your words start speaking your story in love of god🙏❤️
After reading physics and creating analogy with my hindu(Sanatan dharma teachings) ,, i get goosebumps everytime...that our ancestors were really ahead of their times
I find this incredibly soothing…it’s my antidote to listening to Lex & Elon discuss NeuralLink. 🤪Plus every time Donald (if I may) says ‘schmystical,’ I smile. 😌
This episode is a broadcast I could listen to again and again. “For one to become two to realise again they are one.” I loved the hide and seek analogy. I am mother to one who has been a true gift of realisation and who has invited me to growth. So as a younger lad we climbed trees and played hide and seek. He played a little too well. During this metaphor, I recalled seeking *and seeking and seeking and seeking* (little bugger had figured out how to get into my 2001 grand vitara and lay in the back!) I looked and I looked. I went to the neighbours, I came home. Looked under the house, under the bed, everywhere! Thought about calling the police - ‘my four year old is missing.’ And in that moment of the podcast, after referencing the mother’s view of hide and seek being about fun for the child… i thought back and recognised that my angst about my boy being out of my view, reminded me that 2 was one; that i could not “am” till oneness returned. When I peered into the back of that care (eventually) - my child sat upright from his laying down position, smiling as I flung the door open to reunite. Thank you for the reminder of a moment in time and thank you for this remarkable conversation.
OMG! JUST FINISHED GOING TO WATCH AGAIN IN A WEEK OR SO I’M SOBBING! ITS SO SO GREAT TO LISTEN IN HAHA TO TWO BRILLIANT FELLOW TRAVELERS AND KNOW THAT YOU BOTH ARE PART OF ME IS SUCH A GRACE FILLED MIRACLE! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 💜💜💜
What are thoughts as ideas and concepts and theories and even assumptions as thoughts being brought into language or words abstracted from? It implies the wrong direction being Space-Time the fundament of our starting point within our existence. Is existence the same as consciousness although I write it differently? "Where do Intelligence and Consciousness meet?" My question 2015.

Wonderful interview, thank you both! And... It seems to me that there is a notion that a truly enlightened individual is detached, no longer having a single fear, even rational ones (not flinching when about to be bitten by a snake for instance), or that they are in a neutral state, no longer susceptible to human emotion. Some would even see human experience as mundane, and wish to be liberated from it to a higher state of being. This to me seems like missing half of the journey. The other half, I would say, is coming back from heaven to our humanity and embracing it. Allowing the knowledge of our essence to inform our perception and behavior would mean not being neutral, but rather upholding life (this could mean crying with the broken hearted, or defending someone against an agressor). If we see our essence is precious and holy then we will undoubtedly also see that every aspect of life is this essence in motion, and therefore precious and sacred, not "just" a game in the end. Whether we call our essence - universal consciousness, real, and its motion not real, all smoke and mirrors, or we say it is all real, or none of it is real, we must not be confused about the significance of our decisions here in this game. I suggest saying reality as we know it is not really "real" might lead some to think life is not really important, since we tend to equate reality and truth with importance and significance. Then the next step could be, "What I choose to do, or not to do doesn't matter," and of course that is dangerous territory. And anyway, we mustn't forget that the dumbed down, second rate headset is an incredibly precise miracle we might even feel grateful for! It permits mammal, bird, insect, and plant experience, etc., or possibly even the experience of a living cell, imagine! Bruce Lipton could say more about the conscious inner life of cells. If we humans weren't looking through a microscope at it, would the cell dissappear if it too was a window for our shared consciousness to gaze out from? Doesn't everything flutter in and out of existence, in sync with the in and out breath of our shared essence? And what about beauty for beauty's sake? Must every discovery and endeavor have a useful and effective product at its end?
This was really quite intellectually stimulating. I rarely stick with a 2+ hour RUclips, but I stayed with this one to the end. I have a few musings, questions, and/or arguments I would like to present: 1) An infinite conciousness would be infinitely knowlegeable, and therefore have nothing to learn from itself because, being infinite, it already knows everything about itself. Valid? Invalid? Why, or why not? 2) If we do, for some inexplicable reason, maintain that a conciousness that is infinite does not also have infinite knowledge of itself, how would projecting fragments of itself into a vastly more limited 3 dimensional space-time reality, where our mathematics and physical science can only point to this infinitely complex overconsiousness in an imperfect, abstract sense, teach this infinite conciousness anything relevant about itself, that it doesn't already know? An roughly analagous scenario might be if I, as a person existing in 3 dimensional space, were somehow able to project myself into a 2D avatar on a flat sheet of paper, so that I could learn more about my own nature as a 3D being. What could I logically comprehend about my 3D existence while dwelling in 2D space, that I would not already know as a creature that actually exists in 3D space? For that matter, could I really understand ANYTHING about 3D space as a 2D creature? 3) Likewise, with regard to using this new understanding of conciousness (assuming this is a valid scientific theory) to unlock new science and explore the space-time universe that our avatars exist in: What value is that to the overconciousness? The overconciousness is the one projecting the space-time headset within itself, in the first place- including everything that it's avatars supposedly "discover". It already knows how to create these technologies, because they aren't technologies at all- merely representative icons that the overconciousness has evolved (according to Dr. Hoffman), in order to navigate the more complex hyperdimensional environment where it naturally exists. I might posit that as the conciousness is infinite, conciousness is all that there actually is, so there ISN'T any environment that the overconciousness exists in. Fair enough. But, again, what can a limited, space-time icon interface teach an infinite, free-floating conciousness about being an infinite, free-floating conciousness? This doesn't (in my opinion), make any sense. One thing is not a valuable frame of reference for the other. 4) On Amplituhedrons and other mathematical constructs: I want to be careful here, because I am not a mathematician. Indeed, I am quite bad at math and only possess a high school diploma, so I'm very far out of my wheelhouse here (if I can even be said to have a wheelhouse). Having said that, it seems to me that a mathmatical construct which shows that a thing can exist (according to mathematics) is not the same thing as proving that the thing that it models (even if the math is correct) actually exists. For example, the architect Freeman Dyson might build a mathematical model showing that a mega-structure large enough to encompass the sun and harness it's energy could be built and harness the sun's energy. The fact that it is mathematically possible to build this "Dyson Sphere" does not mean that one exists anywhere in the space-time universe, or that we will ever sucessfully construct one. 5) On the idea (as described by Dr. Hoffman) that killing your friend would be analagous to playing a video game and destroying your friends avatar within the game (no big deal, no real harm done. You just return to the overconciousness and get reincarnated in a new avatar). I do not share Dr. Hoffman's view on this scenario. I don't believe Dr. Hoffman (or anyone else) really believes this, either. If they do, they shouldn't be terribly bothered about some other fragment of themselves savagely raping and murdering one of their close friends or loved ones (nothing more than another avatar of themselves/the overconciousness after all). 6) One last musing: A frighteningly significant portion of the population of comprised of unimaginative, ignorant, brutes. One would think an infinite conciousness could construct more useful avatars for learning about itself. 7) Okay, ONE MORE musing: Animals, while perhaps not sapient, are at least conscious on "some" level. Are these avatars of the infinite consciousness? If so, and they are some abstract representation of our true selves, does this mean that when we eat meat we are, in a sense, engaging in a kind of cannibalism? What, precisely, would an infinite consciousness learn from this experience? I suppose it's clear that I am a sceptic of this theory, for all of the reasons above (and some others I might include, but this is already very much tl;dr). For context, I am an agnostic leaning heavily towards atheism.
Our brain does not do creative thought. I only does logic thought based on "past" experiences. Creative thought comes from beyond the physical realm. 💥
I think that some of the lessons learned help form our base character and capacity to understand. This is why people exist at such different levels psychologically dispite age social economic backgrounds ect. This realm seems to be a classroom for the soul and we direct our own lessons. "until the unconscious is brought into the conscious we will let it direct our lives and call it fate". Carl Jung.
Dear André and Donald & team. I sent both of you the overview of my remarks. Donald, I offered you my book " Boy of Vision" twice half August, no reply at all of anyone (fear....?) I am curious to hear from you. Most 'gurus' fall into fear, realizing that the true wisdom is 'within the people' who investigate outside the demarcations of the regular universities. These fluid minds like mine are the pure innovators of the world. All regular university lecturers and professors are all adaptors and-or modifiers within the limited mind they allow themselves to be limited. Without any expectation for any reply as a healthy mindset.
@@lonelystarX right, i confronted them with their ego and unreliablity. Instead of admitting their ignorance and contradictions. They invite people without actualizing that. Thanks, all the best.
I 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻your “Lighting Guy” for actually creating a plain Folding Chair, in some of your cross camera angles… made it look like a work of art… Thank you for all your expanding podcasts - ❤❤❤🎉😊them (your Podcasts), and I really genuinely appreciate them, and you and your staff👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻 Look forward to more
Donald Hoffman is on to something big here. To accomplish something impossible, such as traveling the speed of light, we need to change the game. He presents a logical path to do so.
The essence of almost all regular world universities is the lack of talent for identifying pure diversity. 'Adding' more brilliant people within their own specific gremium/specialization does NOT guarantee higher consciousness as the implicate process of comprehending (instead of UNDERstanding) consciousness in itself by inducing/integrating. Although the disciplines may differ, the potential to it needs to be present. Some basic Math's: Talent - Latent = Valent. Mine, 2016
The thing about Re-Al-ism as a Re-Al-m is to consider the thing-king as a thought as the result - David Bohm or one's thought as part of the One consciousness being the trigger of that thing-king. "Are thoughts proprioceptive?" David Bohm
I am so glad this video was in my feed. I have a bunch of dots bt not connect and slowly their connecting. This episode really help me connect a few. Id would actually like to join one of your round table talks
Thanks guys. 🙏 Thanks for being you and inspiring the best in others. Brainstorming is awesome and awe inspiring. Again I'm grateful and wish for you ans yours to live long and prosper 🙏. Also stay safe in every way always.
1:09:32 the problems with this worldview are 1) that the implication of “we come from the same consciousness” is most often taken to be “we will return to that initial state.” This may not be the case. 2) that a supreme consciousness would purposefully sever itself so as to forget its wholeness implies that there is good reason for the supreme consciousness to be escapist. For obvious reasons, this is quite troubling
Look at it like this. The universe or you is expanding to a point of mass explosion then maybe retracts back into the bug bag agian and what is leaned in between is remembered in the in between stage.then you have multiverses. Image after living a certain number of universe expansions and contractions there is even more beautiful things to see and experience
Gurus and regular world universities (can only) start 'thing-king' regarding a difference of money - as it seems - caused by the flow in their direction.
An organism that sees reality as it is, is never as fit as the organism that sees none of reality as it is, and is tuned in just to the fitness payoffs. That's my biggest takeaway from Donald's work. Such a killer line that explains so much and really puts things into context.
How wonderful to experience this pure wast Consciousness 🙏❤️👍👏👏👏This is what the Daila Lama is teaching and Buddha was teaching,🙏Om Mane Padme Hum🙏 Thanks for your good Conversation 🙏👍
Hence, suffering. In addition to "need" itself, which results from the deprivation known as life, the inability to detach is the source of hell. People love to wax poetically about unity, oneness, yadda yadda, but something tells me they haven't truly experienced oneness, where you don't know where you end and the content on your tv, for example, begins. It's like one big run-on sentence. It is pure madness. Hardly enviable.
Our entire universe is God. God is not a sky daddy that we are separate from. We are all fractals of the All. As we align ourselves with the objective truth and morality of our universe, our universe tends to work in our favor. ⚖️
@@aright2lucidity forreal, that's why I always be saying to non-believers that "are you really going to wait for the proof to show you that what I and many others have been saying (AND ARE LIVING PROOF OF) are true? When is that gonna happen huh? Unlike yall, I believed in it before there was physical evidence and look at me now: young and abundant. Pick your sides carefully my friend" guess what, they're still stubborn. But whatever, it's their lives not mine. I don't even try to save them anymore.
Do you think that is good or bad? Yes shamans have had this knowledge for who knows how long but what does that do for the masses that need some semblance of proof when they are not willing to do the work to have their own experience. So I think it doesn’t matter that it has been known for however long as long as we get as many people on the same page then that will be what drives our development the most. If the point is for all of us to advance then it should be good that we can get others there using their science and mathematics because that is the only way a lot of these people will get there. Ego is the one saying “but I knew it first” mentality.
@@Iamhungryforribeye My point is that there is a common dilemma for those who are spiritually enlightened to want to save those who are still ignorant. This is not an easy task and most of the time it takes a heavy toll of the person trying to do the saving. Sometimes people don't want to be saved and that's ok. That's why I said I just give up now and by that I mean I say it once or twice and if they still persist in their illusion then so be it. I guess I'll leave it to divine timing then.
As a distance course developper was getting deep into virtusl environments until I suddenly broke down in tears realising that there was no need to create the headset within the headset. I realised God just then , he told me to go home and follow daily life, he would do the rest like saving the planet etc, which did, yes and I admit I leave things up to him, there is no hurry and there is no real task, but the one of the moment. I must sound like an earth worm , you guys are the new frontiers, where I ended in tears you are pushing the boundaries hard as humanity ever will, I am proud of mankind at the same time worried❤until you too will find the the way out of thoughts by breathing and through his wish to save you
I often think that our thoughts and words we speak are converted into mathematics and the universe is one big calculator. Our mathematical equations then go into this computer and reality is the result. The thoughts of the masses shape our reality as it contains more equations.
How so? How are words covered to math? And what makes you think the universe calculates that? You may be the calculator, nothing suggests any different given your input
So did you watch the video? Because he said math has not and cannot explain a single conscious experience. So not everything can be explained using math. It seems to be the construct that we live in but it is in no way everything.
Surprised about non-inclusion of Ramanujan in this discussion. A Genius mathematician who claimed he received all the intel from a goddess. A supernatural source
I had a near-death experience a few years ago when I suffered a pulmonary embolism while hiking. My experience rattled me because when I died I was an atheist and had no prior preparation to experience anything other than nothingness upon death. I did not have any beliefs and I was not raised in an environment that fostered such thinking.
I scoured everything for a few years trying to find a philosophy or religion that matched my after life experience and new beliefs.
All the while trying to live a normal life and not seem too unhinged to my friends and family. Lol. Trust me, three years ago I was not thinking or talking about existence, or quantum physics, or epigenetics, or fracturing...And like everyone else I was just trying to survive.
I got a degree in psychology and a good psychotherapist right away because I didn't know what else to do. I didn't understand I was seeking spirituality. Suddenly I was an outsider among a crew who all still live by the ego and doesn't believe in a soul.
I am actually seeking a mix of spirituality, physics, and alchemy and game theory. Your channel and another channel called Your Youinverse make me feel less alone in my belief systems. Nobody in my everyday life likes discussing topics of such depth and that's all I want to do now!
Understanding your mind, especially the subconscious mind, is a top priority. My experience of another place separate from this life taught me that I am in a projected reality separate from my suspended form that is emerging and learning, shaping its conscious form. Becoming self aware and my thoughts and feelings are an algorithm steering the ship so to speak. I know I am "suspended" in another dimension. I know it's a shared platform. I know there is a "code". I know the structure of our foundation is made of an ethereal silver light and I am certain that a being of light particles spoke to me through crushing vibrations and strings of mental imagery that I am still trying to decipher.
Lol, it's alot.
It's tough to fit in after something like this happens and I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this kind of content. After my nde it is helping to re-orient all the chaos surrounding my massive shift in thought. So, thank you. 🤗
Wow, that's fascinating, thank you for sharing! I've had a similar story, including delving into psychology to find spirituality, and I went from super religious to atheism to finding God in the world around me in every moment!
@blsil7863 thankyou for sharing your nde and thereafter. I had a similar. Mine was 20+ years ago... Recently I discovered the youtube nde channels and was amazed...how it has exploded on the internet. I had been a hermit essentially so this discovery brought me out. My medical event gave me courage to be true to me... so living a life where awareness is my number 1. Cognitive (so psychology and pyschotherapy).. is ranked very low in my reality. I also studied these also in my 10 years research and walked away... built on foundation paradigms that do not honour human being magnificence that we are... pure light we are. My medical/nde event, essentially means I could transmute all the contractions (aka non-love in our being). Also means old crew are experienced differently but not less. Maybe you can do that.. so any experience with the 'old' crew will transmute and return to love. I now watch Charlie Goldsmith alot.. as after my 10 years zealous research he is the first energy healer that relates to awareness like my experience.. And he heals for free... and speaks of it all, so naturally and least woo woo, for me. I have watched him heal now up to 30 cases that medical + psy have failed to help. After my many modalities and lots of $$ research, I realised there is much nonsense in energy healing, another realm for people to over promise and under deliver., and also some truth. Too many people project their own experience rather than understand the nature of reality. Charlie is the one exception for me. I have done most of the energy healing modalities out there and most are superficial. I had to learn to trust self and live by my truth. Charlie is showing that also and emphasising using our own creativity to explore our gifts. His conviction in self is the most inspiring.. as this is along side humbleness. Once I accepted my rage for having to come back here to earth... the fullness of my gifts begun to be experienced. I had felt ashamed I was not valuing life on earth .. as where ever I went makes here look miserable and backward. Now I realise I can create that experience here, often, the more I live from my awareness versus from my brain. I found heartmath instititue helpful and realising when I am in heartbrain coherence was revealing (aka gifts are online versus offline). I hope this helps.
That is quite an experience and transformation. You could say you jumped to a new dimension and are now trying to understand the rules of your domicile. I have come to the awakening process from a completely different experience, but that is not important. What is important is that you are asking relevant questions. Know that now since you removed the filter of 'there is nothing beyond this existence' there will be no philosophy or religion or anything that will satisfy your experience. Through your seeking you will create another every bit as valid as any other that may incorporate some aspects of some and exclude aspects of others. We are all the same yet vastly different mostly because we experience our existence through the lens of fear based filters from previous years.
If you want a really interesting and rewarding 'cheat sheet' tip that will help you the most consider this: Spirituality (Consciousness) is fundamental. Then Alchemy (manipulating reality by living through your heart and have it direct the processes of the brain. Game theory: The directed and intentional use of Alchemy. And then Physics which when you master the other three along with a degree of patience and gratitude the laws of physics seem to bend to your will.
It takes dedication and commitment and may not be easy in the beginning but once you start seeing that you are the director of your life, your heart expands, the depth of your Intellect develops and you will have another paradigm shift from fear to love. This is all new to me too and now my heart is filled with joy all the time. Cheers.
@@m0therm00se what was your experience?
yes please elaborate on what you experienced after death.
This is exactly what I needed right now. I often find myself so bored and disinterested in what our collective day to day reality is, always feeling like there has to be more, and wishing we could all exist in it more.
We are one consciousless
It is the ultimate in human irrational narcissism.....to think or crave that there is anything more. We are barely above inanimate matter when it comes to understanding the universe and reality at the cosmic scale. There is no chance there is anything more because we aren't anything special.
@thrashdad7348 this sounds all like opinion.

I love how Donald H and the team of scientists he works with brought the science and spiritual closer. Now you see more and more PHDs, scientists, researchers...talk about spiritual concepts. Donald has been instrumental for this inevitable marriage(merger of the spiritual and science) as they are practically the same. Hopefully, we see some amazing technologies come out of his work. Most importantly, the loving, kind, collaborative mindset of this man to serve as an example to the collective consciousness of all of us human beings!
They have been separated for a long time but they are meant to be together
I agree Donald is head and shoulder above space/time physicists. His interpretation of his work is validating what Max Planck asserted a hundred years ago that Consciousness is fundamental and it is only fundamental because of the limited quality of the filters that our Consciousness has to truly see the reality of our experiences. Once we understand the nature of our Consciousness from a fundamental level we will also see that there are other 'forces' that create our Consciousness that will allow us to remove some of the limiting filters and start to see and understand through different filters that give us greater clarity of what this experience we call reality actually is.
@elonever.2.071 Another idea that seems to gain more and more approval in the spiritual communities is that it is presumed that there is an infinite amount of realities and dimensions. Everything is so complex...it is made in such a way that no one thing would ever know the ultimate truth. Sometimes, I ponder if the insatiable thirst for discovery and curiosity for the unknown can be the forever drivers for us if we manage to find the key to aging, disease, and senseless self-destruction.
This man isn't based in science. He said there is non space time obelisks.
He also said the sound of a trumpet is a concept 🤣
This is the best interview of Hoffman that I've seen. He is so well-spoken, humble, open-minded. But above all he is a true scientist who demands rigor and proof from himself, his team, and all other scientists investigating consciousness. This interview takes the approach of "inquiring minds want to know," and I appreciate Duqum's questions. But anyone interested in Hoffman's ideas should also watch the 13 Hoffman videos on Closer to Truth because he gets a lot of skepticism and pushback, yet is still able to defend his ideas quite successfully.
THE MAN IS AMAZING!!
"Truth Transcends Proof".
Prof. Donald Hoffman's work is profound. I guess most of us are searching for the truth of the One-in-all.

PEACEMA' NY !
Beautifully spoken ✨
This body mind, while walking through the mall, has what some might call a glimpse, in this or during this glimpse all I could say that was seen, is utter emptiness, the mall turned into a golden tone-ish light (sorta like a scene on a stage coming to an end as the lights fade)
I was walking one direction and suddenly turned to look back, only to see this body as what I can only explain as "transparent photos" coming towards what I knew was "me" but not the me from within this body.
In-between those photos of this body coming towards me, was what we can all see directly in front of our faces, "nothing between other things we tend to see" that was sorta moving the photos of this body.
Mind you, what I know as my true self or the self, was not this body but the actual fabric of "nothingness itself"
What I am getting at is, what was seen and known is the nothingness as true and everything and on some level, we all know this ALREADY, because that nothingness, is where everything arises from, that nothingness is, as, by ect, all that exists. Which cannot be explained within words, ideas, theories, story's, beliefs, ect, yet, there is an attempt to explain an experience of it, if that makes any sense, it doesn't to this body mind, but might to another.
Truth transcends what we think to be true and proof transcends wht we think we have proven 😉
Truth? Please define
Most of Donald Hoffman's ideas were new and challenging to me, however I 100% enjoyed this mind stimulating conversation. I love to examine new ideas that can help me unravel, in my limited understanding, the mystery of why we are here and what this is all about. Hoffman is a brilliant and open-minded researcher who is not wedded to any particular theory or idea, but acknowledges that, as he said, "Nothing should be sacrosanct". He also stated in this interview, "No matter how smart you are, it's going to be trivial to the reality beyond". I wish all scientists had this mentality, since the only way we are going to advance, is if we continue to question old ideas and contemplate, sometimes seemingly impossible, new ones. What has been holding us back for centuries is that people, and I feel scientists in particular, hold on to their ideas even after the proof is pointing to an alternative truth. I would love to have the intellect and training to participate in his research. We need more like him and I believe we would be a lot further along if scientists and researchers took his approach. Thank you for this conversation. I will continue to research these ideas which I find stimulating and fascinating. Please bring more like this.
Inightful and inspiring comment
100%
These are not new ideas among philosophers.....these are the ideas philosophers proposed centuries before...now scientiests are buying these ideas into their theories
@@andreavanda5402 the power of a being is creativity like its own Creator. Scientists are duplicators, modifiers and adaptors. Telling you metaphors of existing knowledge. Boring, lacking pure innovation. They know, they are afraid dealing with me and other outstanders being a Psychosopher & Monadologist.
@@ZeeshanAkram1976 agreed fully.
Donald Hoffman is a visionary thinker, providing groundbreaking insights into the mysteries of the universe and the unseen. His profound contributions to our understanding are both significant and inspiring. Hoffman's passion for his work is evident and contagious, shining through in every conversation. He is driving humanity toward profound realizations and a deeper comprehension of reality and empty space. Peace be with you Brother
Perfectly stated and my sentiments exactly.

Very well said.

How is Hoffman's conception any different from the magic of religion?
Andre, you are a fantastic interviewer. You ask great questions and truly listen. I can hear the space you hold for your guest. You have such a gift. Thank you!! Donald is amazing!! Thank you both 🙏🏼
I agree
I teared up a few times during this mind blowing conversation. I am student of Advaita Vedanta and am so excited to follow the research that Dr H is pursuing that will help further establish the theory of the avatars that has been the core of Advaita Vedanta.
Somewhere out there in a different existence we live as pure consciousness. What you don't realize is that we went through a hell of a lot of trouble and it takes a hell of a lot of energy to create the physical experience you are experiencing. Don't waste your time worrying about what's out there so much as enjoying what's here. Because once you lose your physical form you will return to where ever you came from and there's no guarantee you will ever be able to experience this reality as a physical being ever again.
Even if this theory was true and our consciousness was let say "unplugged" from physical reality upon death...we wouldn't know it was us after physical death since memories and personality are physical neurons/synapses in the brain...therefore IF this theory is true, we didn't know before we were born and we won't know after we are dead, which is the same as nothing before and nothing after. Self awareness and personality is what makes each one of us and gives us the illusion of "being". Without it we are literally nothing.
@@makdrumzin otherwords remnant of you, wouldn't be you. Its like if you lost a finger. Is your detached finger still you?
@@JaeohnEspheras Yes, remnants of you, would not be "you"...as in "you" as a personality and self-awareness. Even if you got in an accident and come out with permanent memory loss, you are a new person and not who you were before.
@@makdrumzthen nothing is ever real
"Self-awareness and personality makes each one of us and gives the illusion of being" Very close!! Self-awareness and personality is our ego which is our separate way of experiencing Realty. Before & After death we return to the source code we came from and therefore there is no ego of being separate because we are all connected and don't have individual experiences anymore because everything is one@@makdrumz
I am Hindu. This talk resonates many teachkngs of my religion. The analogies were good. Enjoyed the podcast. Thank you Andre and Donald 🙏💖

Your religion supports the caste system. That's some religion you got there pal.
@@brucemacmillan9581 please understand the caste system "VARNASRAMAM".
@@brucemacmillan9581so original. How many 'witches' did y'all burn Bruce which were sanctioned by the church? Hmm... Millions.
We correct our wrongs whereas y'all justify it.
@@brucemacmillan9581 bring out the word "caste" from any of the Hindu scriptures, we'll wait. Even the word "caste" is Portugese term. Caste system was brought by British after they divided people and made deep division and isolated societies when they instilled hatred into the minds of people for their own gain. No Hindu scriptures mentions caste system, instead they mentions varnas, which are based on their own desired duty, which they are capable of doing in life. But some Marxist historians purposefully mistranslated the scriptures and made it sound like a law or system. Don't let me start talking about slavery in Christianity!
I have been casually exploring some of the concepts like agnosticism, limitation of languages and
Gödel's incompleteness theorem for years. Your content touches so many topics I had interests in… Thank you André and Dr. Hoffman! Great collab❤🎉😊

Spirituality is creating your own reality by learning from your stepping stones and raising your vibration to be your best self and achieve your mission goals in this lifetime.
actually this makes alot sense to me... i kind of live like that whithout even being aware of the tradition. it just feels natural to me... i mean most religions are more about power and control
then anything else ... they lost the essence ... i think those 4 core principles are the essence and also the reason why its just healthy to choose to live by thees
"values". ….. being spiritual not religeous... doing the right thing for the greater good not just for personal gain... no need to live on your knees as long you dont put those close to you down. dont be so greedy. there would be enough for all of us... but yo i guess every herd got its black sheep but the european mind is more down whith the devil, the EGO ... false light blindet by there beauty lol .
...who are the real
Savages? not everything that shines is gold... the devil is a liar. no matter which shade of brown or whatever... positiv giving or Negative taking... balance just some thoughts and thnx for providing these infos. PEACE out & greetings from Germany
Please can someone recommend any spiritual therapist?
Yes, Dhitik_scott. She has been my spiritual therapist for a while now. She’s amazing and natural. She has really been helpful guiding me in unlocking my full potentials spirituality is a right meant for everyone to enjoy, I’ve experienced so much spiritual awakening and healing period over the years now just for her sake.
Please, how do I reach her?
Is she on TikTok?
This is one of those conversations that can be listened to many times over, with new insights gained each time.
Yes it gets more woo everytime
Just listened to anna brown and now don Hoffman. Combine the 2 and know you are eternal, death is an illusion, life is awsome and joy is your true reality. ✌️
I think we all get the opportunity to perceive and experience life in a unique way. I am a believer that consciousness is eternal, but death is not an illusion. Death is a certainty in our reality. It might represent a transfer of consciousness, but in our experience, it is inevitable.
The concept of "joy" is subjective and tied to our current circumstances. Many people around the world don’t get to experience the same sense of joy-does that mean they’re not part of our true reality? Life seems like a test, with each of us facing different levels of difficulty. Some start in "easy mode" with money but end up feeling miserable, while others have to search for the tools to find joy despite tough situations. Some endure unimaginable hardships and never discover what true happiness means.
Either way I do thank god for the opportunity to experience this life, and we must accept and endure every aspect of it, regardless what it may consist.
@@digitaldecibles : "Some endure unimaginable hardships and never discover what true happiness means."
If you do not know what happiness is you can never be unhappy.
@@s.muller8688 not knowing what happiness is doesn’t necessarily prevent unhappiness. In fact, many people suffer deeply because they are acutely aware of what they lack, even if they don’t have a clear definition of happiness.
Most people on this planet experience nothing but illness , empty wallets and pain and for most people on this planet it's living hell not a "joy"
@@Voltomess...God damn right. It is disgusting to dismiss their suffering and pain.
Can’t wait to see the day when Mr Hoffman’s discoveries about the conscious nature of our reality are going to be acknowledged by the entire world, including the science community! That’ll be the miracle 🎉
Better look up CTMU and Chris Langan first, just to make sure who was first. And I mean first by 20 years.
the game will in fact change forever the more aware we keep becoming!!!
"Can't wait to see the day..." -- I've been waiting for that day since 1969, when I first dropped LSD. My guess is that a substantial portion of the science community will be open to the primacy of consciousness by late 21st century. But because corporate economics, political power and media--not neuroscience--determine cultures, civilization will have to descend into near oblivion before that day emerges. Perhaps there will be a remnant--a miracle indeed.
Ancient cultures have already know this by THOUSANDS of years, it’s just “modern” Americans that’s behind in this understanding!
@@juanitoviejo2121you really waited till the end of the 60s to get in on the fun 😊
As we interact with the quantum field of infinite possibility we are both the story and the storyteller. Donald Hoffman and others like him deserve a medal.
Love this comment. As I tell my kids, we’re just stories telling other stories. To ourselves and others
Actually Donald Hoffman got a lot of his ideas from different sources. He's more of a parrot than a genius but you're just not aware of these sources. You sound naive.
@@thomasbenham9316this whole idea that there is only consciousness and the rest is just a convincing story is found in many metaphysical writings of today and older writings from the past. Donald Hoffman is very derivative in many aspects of his thinking. Things may sound good at first but apply it to your everyday living and see if what he is saying is not just some kind of philosophical claim or mere assertion that sounds good but in fact is only an illusion. An example would be someone who gets into an unfortunate accident, and then tell that person: well your responsible because you're writing your story. And that's just the beginning to test this kind of thinking. You don't really know until you're there in that kind of situation. Whether it's you or a friend of yours. It's fun to say things that we're just telling each other stories and that's all there is to life, but then there is life. Is there anything more than just stories and storytellers? And how are you to actually know that? Question everything.
All ideas have been sourced throughout time. Nothing new under the sun

Morning everyone!! Excited to listen to this enlightening conversation today!🌱❤️
Same here
Beautifully stated. May you find the answers you are seeking.
@@andreavanda5402as long as you are seeking you will not find the answer.
Love the integration of science, mysticism, and philosophy as they all play an important part towards our collective evolution ❤
Thank you to everyone that helped bring this interview into our shared reality ❤🎉
I absolutely adore Donald Hoffman. The first I ever saw him was a TedX talk where he gave just a light overview of how our perception is not of "True" reality, and it ended there. I was hooked; he was making statements that, evident as they might be, were out of place for a scientist with a PhD to say. I'm so thrilled to see where his work has gone and absolutely *cannot* wait to see where it goes! ❤
I'd love to hear you interview Anil Seth and Lisa Feldman Barrett as a continuum of this astounding discussion on this non-reality, counterintuitive experience we construct but think we perceive! Fascinating and mind-boggling!
What an amazing interview. First time watching this channel and boy was I blown away with this thought provoking discussion on consciousness. Thank you so much for this conversation!!
So NO thoughts … recently I’ve heard ppl saying that you can’t screen thoughts out. However, in 2018, I had what I call my second awakening where I moved from experiencing a feeling of bliss, only a few times from simple breathing exercises, to following Joe Dispanzas deeper mediations and encountering a pure brilliant, perfect geometric, expending tunnel, in which an hour had passed but it felt like minutes.
In that moment, I was utterly captivated, in total peace. It’s like the thought mechanism switches to an awareness feeling only. The moment I thought what if I go out of my body with it and can’t find my way back, it caused a rupture and so my conscious mind blocked what I was seeing and feeling in my awareness. Great stuff 🙂 to even have an experience like that. One amongst many since I arrived in this consciousness as an embryo.
Next time leave the body , don't worry about it
Lol. I did the process backwards. I started off with wim hof. I have never in my life been able to meditate. I felt a silence. It was beautiful. For the first time.
I then made and tried low dose DMT. It's exactly the same but obviously the drug is more powerful.
Always let go!
@@IAm-wl4zd is that something you have done? 🙏🏻
@@chriscotton4207 I’ve heard that DMT is incredibly powerful for awareness and connection.
@@AliciaVernon-x9l yes , but there was no me that did it . There's only one being , pretending to be many
Mr. Hoffman is a gift to humanity and a brilliant generous Scientist.
Thanks for your channel and this brilliant interview.
And of course to Donald.
Grateful Aussie.

"Nothing is real" -John Lennon
Thank you André and Donald. This is the best education - no, this is the best moment of Grokking the difference between perceived reality and 'what is' that I have encountered since my first experience with LSD. Looking forward to listening in on more, with eyes closed and Mind open.
Excellent material. I’ve heard this dude on other podcasts and it didn’t hit quite as hard. It’s starting to click for me and honestly it’s a relief. A lot of loss lately and this definitely helps to reframe mortality
It doesn't matter if you are mortal or not, but what matters is that you don't have any control on manifesting yourself, or your dying.
On 11/1/22, during a meditation session early in the morning, I had the inexplicable but very real experience of leaving my body.
It started with an increasing internal tremor until my entire body was vibrating, I remember hearing my wooden headboard hitting the wall in unison with this vibration. Then an auditory stimulation that sounded like rushing water, also increasing, until it was a roaring and with a whoosh my mind was severed from my body and from my physical reality.
Actually, I fell out of my body and into/through a tunnel of absolute darkness. I had the distinct feeling of wind rushing past me as I continued to fall.
Then, the worst part began, which is something I’m still struggling with emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. The increasing speed with which I traveled/fell through this dark tunnel then caused a buffeting that felt as if the searing wind was peeling my skin back in certain parts of my body. Soon, it felt like, as if parts of me being ripped out of my very fabric. Essential pieces of me, tearing away like shingles off a roof during a hurricane. There was immense pain associated with this experience.
I balled up in midair to prevent myself from being shredded. I feared that I would cease to exist and turn into confetti in the wind.
Then, the falling sensation ended, and with that, the rushing/roaring wind, the falling and the painful tearing and shredding.
I had fallen into an absolute Void, a vacuum of utter and impenetrable darkness.
I remember trying to use my physical senses, which seemed so clunky, unrefined and strange in this environment. I expanded my consciousness to perceive my surroundings, but all I remember was being suspended in this Void, utterly alone with an increasing feeling of isolation and loneliness.
Time, as we understand it, isn’t really anything that translates to this Void….but according to my watch, I spent 7 hours in this state.
I laid down on my bed shortly after 7:30am and regained my physical consciousness before 3pm.
I’m struggling to find words to describe the how or ways-and-means with which I clawed my way back to myself, but sheer willpower was at the core of it.
My “old self” died that day. The person who willed herself back into a physical body had lost the “bits and pieces” that made me uniquely me. All the things that were previously important, or infused my life with happy excitement, were gone. Worst of all, since 11/1/22, I have lost the ability to “connect to my heart.” I still feel emotional pain and all the not-so-nice stuff in my chest, but I’m unable to feel the warm, expanding, loving feeling that was previously always present in such quantity that I often had the feeling my heart was flowing over with love.
Now, my chest cavity is numb and reminiscent of the dark, vacuous Void.
I’m sure that something transpired in this Void that I was not allowed to remember. As much as I wreck my brain to remember, I have no memory of interacting with anything or anyone.
I am no longer the person I have been prior to this experience. I struggle with the perception of time, which is important in terms of short-term memory and overall orientation. Sometimes, yesterday feels like it was a month ago, and on the other hand, a week no longer feels as long as it used to.
I no longer care, not the least bit, about the material things in life. I was never extremely materialistic, but had some things I was saving up for. None of them even register at all. My link to nature has increased, and often only a walk in the woods will provide me with the feeling of connection to this reality.
Anyways, this is hopefully a concise story of an inexplicable experience.
I truly feel like that “I died before dying.” I feel lost, floating in a reality that I now know to be nothing but a drama/play in which my role was canceled, but I’m somehow still on stage.
Life is stranger than I could’ve imagined in my wildest dreams
Sorry you had this distress g experience it's quite often the reverse people seem to have amazing feelings of love when out of body but I was thi king as I read this go into nature, I try to walk everyday in the meadows woods by the river and its very meditative, and is the most real and I feel Spirituality connected to source 💚
I had an experience which resulted in similar outcomes as you. I think what causes these feelings is that your view of the world and all that was important to you has fallen away, but that's good, because a lot of what we hold onto and think of ourselves is not really us. You say you no longer care about materialistic things anymore, ultimately that's a good thing, but it shows what value you used to give to material things as a source of your happiness, but this is not true happiness. I went through the exact thing with materialism.
It's a very jarring experience, especially to happen in such a short space of time as mine was too. But over time, you will start to value the right things and realise what matters and the love will return more than ever I'm sure. ❤
❤ hoow did ubreach this state of consciousness i am.meditating dr joe dispenza visualising affirming and still depressed suicidal ...
My suggestion would be to keep meditating, asking only 'who am I?'
Years ago, my friend died and came back. She came back a different person, angry at the world. She was adamant that she went to a dark void filled with nothingness. I wasn’t mature enough then to ask her the right questions then. I don’t even remember pressing her properly. I stupidly glossed over it. She died permanently 2 years after. Now I am much wiser but she’s gone and I can never ask her what I wish I could now

Thank you for this podcast 🙏
Terrible idea. Mysticism does not belong in classrooms. What's next, astrology classes? There is lots of mysticism in Catholic schools - how many scientific breakthroughs came from those schools? Please...
@@Zozo-d7p Science itself is mysticism strictly speaking ... as science itself shows us day by day.
My own view is that many people will listen to this information and think they understand it, but in reality they will not. I believe in a distinction between knowledge and understanding, in that understanding is not simply extensive knowledge, but emotional knowledge. I've tried for two decades to understand what it means for the world we sense to be created internally. Sometimes I get flashes of understanding but broadly speaking, it's beyond our capabilities to retain that understanding for any length of time. Evolution has seen to that. Still, it's worth the effort. When you feel it, when you feel what it is, it's like the universe opens up and you fall into the void, just for a second.
Oh but surely you understand..

It’s interesting that you mentioned 12 perceptions and 12 in a circle. There were 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 months in a year, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 signs of the zodiac. The number 12 symbolizes perfection, entirety and the cosmic order.

I loved this conversation, so many tingles. I experienced a merging & deeper embodied understanding of conscious thoughts & explorations I’ve held for the past decade or so of awakened healing. Knowings such as “I am infinite” just clicked in a different way. I am excited to keep learning and hearing more as it’s helping me to figure out where to invest my energy in helping to awaken & empower myself and therefore others. 💛 thank you.

Quickly becoming my favorite channel. Thank you Andre for all these amazing interviews! I can't begin to tell you how inspired and fascinated I am at the deeper nature of reality and you're bringing it front and center.
Mr. Hoffman, I am interested in your thoughts on Conscious Agents outside of space/ time, such as obelisks might they be energy generators to hold a fixed set of dimensions possibly to hold specific fields of information, not all but a level that we can access but we can also go beyond in consciousness when we have the intelligence and understanding.
This is why Michio Kaku should be celebrated because he can explain all this to everyone in about 15 minutes so that we all understood it clearly.
He’s alright. Imo, he’s a little too theoretical. He’ll say “If A is true, than…” and go on for twenty minutes about something, and I’m afraid too many people will infer it as factual, forgetting the “If” completely. I prefer Joscha Bach, although he’s not as much into astrophysics. But, for consciousness and cognition, he’s the GOAT.
Kaku is one of the biggest BS-artists out there.
A terrible representative of the scientific world.
You just like 'woo woo.'

i believe WE ARE ONE. and that this is the new awareness of our time.
😂
Actually the romantics believed this too, already in the 19th century
If this is true, we are tremendously misaligned.
We are ultimately larger consciousness (God) from which pieces individuated into individual units of consciousness (higher souls) from which pieces individuate into free will awareness units (souls) ... the iuoc (higher souls) does not have free will ... although it has individuated it remains touching the larger consciousness... think of iuoc as like the first rays that stretch off from the sun but yet remain connected to the sun and fwau as the sparks that completely fly away from the iuoc with freedom to experience all possibilities... when fwau dies it's experiences are kept in the Larger consciousness system (akash) while the qualities gained from the experience remain with the IUOCs and a new free will awareness unit individuates with all the newly gained qualities for new experiences (a life) ... a fwau (soul) is not eternally individual with free will... when it dies and its experience and qualities have been reviewed and stored it is no more... when "psychic" people connect with deceased or when they die and encounter relatives as described in many nde testimonials ... they're not encountering that fwau they're encountering larger consciousness system that has the record of all experiences... we free will awareness units are not one ... no more than 2 children from a same mother are one... and we are not eternal... our higher souls may return to larger consciousness but souls do not... you will not be able to pick up with your deceased grandmother where you left off when she died when you die ... we are only one thing but we become that and are no more... what would a great great grandmother be doing all these years? ... just waiting for family to die and come to her?
You may be ONE but I'm not. I'm just me.
Only just come across your podcast. Love your style of interviewing! Genuine. A ray of sunshine.
This is perfect. I have buried myself in “A Course In Miracles” and it 100% knowingly places itself smack in the middle of everything being said here. May I add, to an unexpected degree!
it says that we imagined separation from God, but forgot to laugh. Our free will has put us into the only safe way to be separate from heaven, to be awake in a dream. And to top it off, it was all dictated by Jesus reconfiguring Christianity back to its original form. A way to actually “love your enemy”,…a way to actually “not despise an evil door.” 🎯Thanks for this unexpected vista❤️
Wow!
Donald Hoffman is my hero he is a pioneer that isn't afraid to test NEW ideas 💪
A time will come in future where whole of science will reach to a point where they will be in full agreement with Buddha about life
@@prateekwatwale4812 You're projecting. Buddha and Buddhism have nothing to do with science. And science has nothing to do with, or say about Buddhism.
@@brucemacmillan9581science has produced thousands upon thousands of scientific papers on oriental meditative practices and their physiological and brain change aspects. Almost all olympics practice mindfulnes or dipped into it. Contemplative practices have spread all over and through all layers of (Western) civilization. Come on. Peak experiences and performances have always been of outmost interest of humanity, and thus will always be part of scientific endeavor.
They are absolutely coming back around to Buddhism, Vedic kniwledge
@@brucemacmillan9581 I'm a Buddhist nun and I can assure you there is a lot of collaboration between us and scientists. Quantum scientists a few years ago corroborated in a laboratory something lama tsong khapa said nearly a thousand years ago: that two beings can observe the same object and have contradictory perceptions and each of them be valid cognitions. This relates to the qbusm (Christopher Fuchs theory) that Hoffman talks about. For example
Buddha plagiarised brahminical wisdom. Idk why people advertise buddha so much when everything he wrote was Hindu in every shape and form
I really need to understand it fully! Watching it over&over It is the best!. Thank you Dr Hoffman&Andre

EDIT: I sent 1st part of comment halfway through before Andre's wave analogy, that was one of the best I've EVER heard. Had to come back with gratitude and add a thank you for the "wave" Andre..IT WILL BE USED :)
Regarding the Markov Chain within Stochaism: are we dealing with Change or Possibility or with Probability? What is the possible result after 100 x a '1' trowing a dice? Still 1 to 6. What is its probability? almost dZéRho. So is Stochaism about objectivity or about subjectivity?
We are souls taking a human experience in this world made of matter and energy, the goul is to discover our conscious and the main thing is to know who we are, and you only going to find it inside our head after we close our eyes, (meditating)
There is another world, know yourself . My best wishes for all of you.
We are not souls bro 💀

Boltzmann's Density: what is its Destiny? Lower dimensions imply a higher and more differentiated density, so its destiny is changed or not?
The Destiny's Density versus the Density's Destiny. What about Reality as some synonym?
Where do Destiny and Density meet 'to become neutalized' regarding each other?

Reincarnation is a fascinating element in the Buddhist tradition...so many intriguing questions to explore. We seem wired to investigate mysteries and expand our direct consciousness of whatever is possible.
There is no we , there is only God acting the parts of all
Tupac said his only fear of death is coming back to this besh.
Reincarnation is not in Buddhist traditional , Buddhism don't teach reincarnation Buddhism does not teach a traditional concept of reincarnation involving a permanent soul, it does acknowledge the cycle of rebirth (samsara) influenced by karma.
Reincarnation is in Hinduism core fundamental.
What Donald Hoffmam Is discussing is already been discused vividly in Vedanta tradition.
In reality there are two types of consciousness, that manifast the reality, one is creator conciousness and other is observer conciousness,
As soon as you are awake, you are synchronized to the base of all knowledge as your neural network is connected, your words start speaking your story in love of god🙏❤️
After reading physics and creating analogy with my hindu(Sanatan dharma teachings) ,, i get goosebumps everytime...that our ancestors were really ahead of their times
I find this incredibly soothing…it’s my antidote to listening to Lex & Elon discuss NeuralLink. 🤪Plus every time Donald (if I may) says ‘schmystical,’ I smile. 😌
Yesss Same Here 😅

This episode is a broadcast I could listen to again and again. “For one to become two to realise again they are one.” I loved the hide and seek analogy. I am mother to one who has been a true gift of realisation and who has invited me to growth. So as a younger lad we climbed trees and played hide and seek. He played a little too well. During this metaphor, I recalled seeking *and seeking and seeking and seeking* (little bugger had figured out how to get into my 2001 grand vitara and lay in the back!) I looked and I looked. I went to the neighbours, I came home. Looked under the house, under the bed, everywhere! Thought about calling the police - ‘my four year old is missing.’ And in that moment of the podcast, after referencing the mother’s view of hide and seek being about fun for the child… i thought back and recognised that my angst about my boy being out of my view, reminded me that 2 was one; that i could not “am” till oneness returned. When I peered into the back of that care (eventually) - my child sat upright from his laying down position, smiling as I flung the door open to reunite. Thank you for the reminder of a moment in time and thank you for this remarkable conversation.

What are thoughts as ideas and concepts and theories and even assumptions as thoughts being brought into language or words abstracted from?
It implies the wrong direction being Space-Time the fundament of our starting point within our existence. Is existence the same as consciousness although I write it differently?
"Where do Intelligence and Consciousness meet?"
My question 2015.
Once upon a time, I was jobless and have nothing to do so i started meditating whole days for many days and than THAT i in me awake and realised that I AM IS GOD IN ALL OF US, I MEANS GOLDY❤🙏😂
I had to learn the hard way IM in control of my choices but sometimes im not in control theres different realitys what ever name it doesnt matter if u learn love your and forgive people who hurt you, remember who u hurt ,everyone s wrong things but reality here your a bad person, i changed my life just being sober mined because I was becoming the person I hated my father who was horrible alcoholic , very abusive , he died at 46 of heart attack because he was vet and hes ptsd was bad

Wonderful interview, thank you both! And...
It seems to me that there is a notion that a truly enlightened individual is detached, no longer having a single fear, even rational ones (not flinching when about to be bitten by a snake for instance), or that they are in a neutral state, no longer susceptible to human emotion. Some would even see human experience as mundane, and wish to be liberated from it to a higher state of being.
This to me seems like missing half of the journey. The other half, I would say, is coming back from heaven to our humanity and embracing it. Allowing the knowledge of our essence to inform our perception and behavior would mean not being neutral, but rather upholding life (this could mean crying with the broken hearted, or defending someone against an agressor). If we see our essence is precious and holy then we will undoubtedly also see that every aspect of life is this essence in motion, and therefore precious and sacred, not "just" a game in the end.
Whether we call our essence - universal consciousness, real, and its motion not real, all smoke and mirrors, or we say it is all real, or none of it is real, we must not be confused about the significance of our decisions here in this game. I suggest saying reality as we know it is not really "real" might lead some to think life is not really important, since we tend to equate reality and truth with importance and significance. Then the next step could be, "What I choose to do, or not to do doesn't matter," and of course that is dangerous territory.
And anyway, we mustn't forget that the dumbed down, second rate headset is an incredibly precise miracle we might even feel grateful for! It permits mammal, bird, insect, and plant experience, etc., or possibly even the experience of a living cell, imagine! Bruce Lipton could say more about the conscious inner life of cells.
If we humans weren't looking through a microscope at it, would the cell dissappear if it too was a window for our shared consciousness to gaze out from? Doesn't everything flutter in and out of existence, in sync with the in and out breath of our shared essence?
And what about beauty for beauty's sake? Must every discovery and endeavor have a useful and effective product at its end?
This was really quite intellectually stimulating. I rarely stick with a 2+ hour RUclips, but I stayed with this one to the end. I have a few musings, questions, and/or arguments I would like to present:
1) An infinite conciousness would be infinitely knowlegeable, and therefore have nothing to learn from itself because, being infinite, it already knows everything about itself. Valid? Invalid? Why, or why not?
2) If we do, for some inexplicable reason, maintain that a conciousness that is infinite does not also have infinite knowledge of itself, how would projecting fragments of itself into a vastly more limited 3 dimensional space-time reality, where our mathematics and physical science can only point to this infinitely complex overconsiousness in an imperfect, abstract sense, teach this infinite conciousness anything relevant about itself, that it doesn't already know? An roughly analagous scenario might be if I, as a person existing in 3 dimensional space, were somehow able to project myself into a 2D avatar on a flat sheet of paper, so that I could learn more about my own nature as a 3D being. What could I logically comprehend about my 3D existence while dwelling in 2D space, that I would not already know as a creature that actually exists in 3D space? For that matter, could I really understand ANYTHING about 3D space as a 2D creature?
3) Likewise, with regard to using this new understanding of conciousness (assuming this is a valid scientific theory) to unlock new science and explore the space-time universe that our avatars exist in: What value is that to the overconciousness? The overconciousness is the one projecting the space-time headset within itself, in the first place- including everything that it's avatars supposedly "discover". It already knows how to create these technologies, because they aren't technologies at all- merely representative icons that the overconciousness has evolved (according to Dr. Hoffman), in order to navigate the more complex hyperdimensional environment where it naturally exists. I might posit that as the conciousness is infinite, conciousness is all that there actually is, so there ISN'T any environment that the overconciousness exists in. Fair enough. But, again, what can a limited, space-time icon interface teach an infinite, free-floating conciousness about being an infinite, free-floating conciousness? This doesn't (in my opinion), make any sense. One thing is not a valuable frame of reference for the other.
4) On Amplituhedrons and other mathematical constructs: I want to be careful here, because I am not a mathematician. Indeed, I am quite bad at math and only possess a high school diploma, so I'm very far out of my wheelhouse here (if I can even be said to have a wheelhouse). Having said that, it seems to me that a mathmatical construct which shows that a thing can exist (according to mathematics) is not the same thing as proving that the thing that it models (even if the math is correct) actually exists. For example, the architect Freeman Dyson might build a mathematical model showing that a mega-structure large enough to encompass the sun and harness it's energy could be built and harness the sun's energy. The fact that it is mathematically possible to build this "Dyson Sphere" does not mean that one exists anywhere in the space-time universe, or that we will ever sucessfully construct one.
5) On the idea (as described by Dr. Hoffman) that killing your friend would be analagous to playing a video game and destroying your friends avatar within the game (no big deal, no real harm done. You just return to the overconciousness and get reincarnated in a new avatar). I do not share Dr. Hoffman's view on this scenario. I don't believe Dr. Hoffman (or anyone else) really believes this, either. If they do, they shouldn't be terribly bothered about some other fragment of themselves savagely raping and murdering one of their close friends or loved ones (nothing more than another avatar of themselves/the overconciousness after all).
6) One last musing: A frighteningly significant portion of the population of comprised of unimaginative, ignorant, brutes. One would think an infinite conciousness could construct more useful avatars for learning about itself.
7) Okay, ONE MORE musing: Animals, while perhaps not sapient, are at least conscious on "some" level. Are these avatars of the infinite consciousness? If so, and they are some abstract representation of our true selves, does this mean that when we eat meat we are, in a sense, engaging in a kind of cannibalism? What, precisely, would an infinite consciousness learn from this experience?
I suppose it's clear that I am a sceptic of this theory, for all of the reasons above (and some others I might include, but this is already very much tl;dr). For context, I am an agnostic leaning heavily towards atheism.
Our brain does not do creative thought. I only does logic thought based on "past" experiences.
Creative thought comes from beyond the physical realm. 💥
we are here farming Experiences, forgetting them and doing it again
I think that some of the lessons learned help form our base character and capacity to understand. This is why people exist at such different levels psychologically dispite age social economic backgrounds ect. This realm seems to be a classroom for the soul and we direct our own lessons.

Dear André and Donald & team. I sent both of you the overview of my remarks. Donald, I offered you my book " Boy of Vision" twice half August, no reply at all of anyone (fear....?)
I am curious to hear from you. Most 'gurus' fall into fear, realizing that the true wisdom is 'within the people' who investigate outside the demarcations of the regular universities.
These fluid minds like mine are the pure innovators of the world. All regular university lecturers and professors are all adaptors and-or modifiers within the limited mind they allow themselves to be limited.
Without any expectation for any reply as a healthy mindset.
Jeez listen to all that ego
@@lonelystarX right, i confronted them with their ego and unreliablity. Instead of admitting their ignorance and contradictions. They invite people without actualizing that. Thanks, all the best.

The Direct Path - Being Aware of Being Aware
Donald Hoffman is on to something big here. To accomplish something impossible, such as traveling the speed of light, we need to change the game. He presents a logical path to do so.
The ads asking for money piss me tf off. Besides that I'm having an eargasm listening to this love your content and this guy. Ty ❤
Loved this conversation- stimulating thought provoking- relax and set your mind free. So close your eyes and see!
The essence of almost all regular world universities is the lack of talent for identifying pure diversity.
'Adding' more brilliant people within their own specific gremium/specialization does NOT guarantee higher consciousness as the implicate process of comprehending (instead of UNDERstanding) consciousness in itself by inducing/integrating.
Although the disciplines may differ, the potential to it needs to be present.
Some basic Math's:
Talent - Latent = Valent.

The thing about Re-Al-ism as a Re-Al-m is to consider the thing-king as a thought as the result - David Bohm or one's thought as part of the One consciousness being the trigger of that thing-king.

I am so glad this video was in my feed. I have a bunch of dots bt not connect and slowly their connecting. This episode really help me connect a few. Id would actually like to join one of your round table talks
Thanks guys.
🙏 Thanks for being you and inspiring the best in others.
Brainstorming is awesome and awe inspiring.
Again I'm grateful and wish for you ans yours to live long and prosper 🙏.
Also stay safe in every way always.
1:09:32 the problems with this worldview are 1) that the implication of “we come from the same consciousness” is most often taken to be “we will return to that initial state.” This may not be the case. 2) that a supreme consciousness would purposefully sever itself so as to forget its wholeness implies that there is good reason for the supreme consciousness to be escapist. For obvious reasons, this is quite troubling
Look at it like this. The universe or you is expanding to a point of mass explosion then maybe retracts back into the bug bag agian and what is leaned in between is remembered in the in between stage.then you have multiverses. Image after living a certain number of universe expansions and contractions there is even more beautiful things to see and experience
@@MysticVideos this is certainly a fascinating thought. That being said, it strikes me as a “maybe?”
@@CooperGreenman sure but if the there are infinite universe all possibilities can be.
@@MysticVideos this is known as modal logic. In other words, all possible universes could also not be
@@CooperGreenman yet he we are!
Gurus and regular world universities (can only) start 'thing-king' regarding a difference of money - as it seems - caused by the flow in their direction.
An organism that sees reality as it is, is never as fit as the organism that sees none of reality as it is, and is tuned in just to the fitness payoffs.
That's my biggest takeaway from Donald's work. Such a killer line that explains so much and really puts things into context.
such a microcosm for humanity and society. Thinking about wealth disparity, and how that concept applies.
This is one of the most spiritual discussions I ever heard among people who don’t appear to be trying to br spiritual
How wonderful to experience this pure wast Consciousness 🙏❤️👍👏👏👏This is what the Daila Lama is teaching and Buddha was teaching,🙏Om Mane Padme Hum🙏 Thanks for your good Conversation 🙏👍
There is no separation, yall 🐎
Hence, suffering. In addition to "need" itself, which results from the deprivation known as life, the inability to detach is the source of hell. People love to wax poetically about unity, oneness, yadda yadda, but something tells me they haven't truly experienced oneness, where you don't know where you end and the content on your tv, for example, begins. It's like one big run-on sentence. It is pure madness. Hardly enviable.
Our entire universe is God. God is not a sky daddy that we are separate from. We are all fractals of the All. As we align ourselves with the objective truth and morality of our universe, our universe tends to work in our favor. ⚖️

This is what spirituality has been saying all this time. Old news for those who manifests and knows we're spiritual beings :D
Right? It's as though "modern science" is just now catching up to millennia of spiritual wisdom. Like, thanks for coming out. Lol
@@aright2lucidity forreal, that's why I always be saying to non-believers that "are you really going to wait for the proof to show you that what I and many others have been saying (AND ARE LIVING PROOF OF) are true? When is that gonna happen huh? Unlike yall, I believed in it before there was physical evidence and look at me now: young and abundant. Pick your sides carefully my friend"
guess what, they're still stubborn. But whatever, it's their lives not mine. I don't even try to save them anymore.
Do you think that is good or bad? Yes shamans have had this knowledge for who knows how long but what does that do for the masses that need some semblance of proof when they are not willing to do the work to have their own experience.
So I think it doesn’t matter that it has been known for however long as long as we get as many people on the same page then that will be what drives our development the most. If the point is for all of us to advance then it should be good that we can get others there using their science and mathematics because that is the only way a lot of these people will get there. Ego is the one saying “but I knew it first” mentality.
@@Iamhungryforribeye My point is that there is a common dilemma for those who are spiritually enlightened to want to save those who are still ignorant. This is not an easy task and most of the time it takes a heavy toll of the person trying to do the saving. Sometimes people don't want to be saved and that's ok. That's why I said I just give up now and by that I mean I say it once or twice and if they still persist in their illusion then so be it. I guess I'll leave it to divine timing then.
Most excellent conversation. I really hope that more research is dedicated to this area, for sure.
As a distance course developper was getting deep into virtusl environments until I suddenly broke down in tears realising that there was no need to create the headset within the headset. I realised God just then , he told me to go home and follow daily life, he would do the rest like saving the planet etc, which did, yes and I admit I leave things up to him, there is no hurry and there is no real task, but the one of the moment. I must sound like an earth worm , you guys are the new frontiers, where I ended in tears you are pushing the boundaries hard as humanity ever will, I am proud of mankind at the same time worried❤until you too will find the the way out of thoughts by breathing and through his wish to save you
Making a story around this theory could make an epic sci-fi novel
I often think that our thoughts and words we speak are converted into mathematics and the universe is one big calculator. Our mathematical equations then go into this computer and reality is the result. The thoughts of the masses shape our reality as it contains more equations.
I don't think that we will ever understand what creates our reality, only learn more about how to manipulate it more precisely..
How so? How are words covered to math? And what makes you think the universe calculates that? You may be the calculator, nothing suggests any different given your input
So did you watch the video? Because he said math has not and cannot explain a single conscious experience. So not everything can be explained using math. It seems to be the construct that we live in but it is in no way everything.
Surprised about non-inclusion of Ramanujan in this discussion. A Genius mathematician who claimed he received all the intel from a goddess. A supernatural source

This is the best description of conscious thought that ive come across. Its amazing.
