I needed this video. I appreciate all the ppl who make asking questions like these their living bc it helps those of us who are truly lost. I suffer deeply with my mental health, often imagining a world without me in it. If nothing is real, including me, then my “problems” are truly an illusion of my mind! I can change my circumstances just by tricking my mind!
Absolutely my inquisitive friend. The battle is long, but in the end - it's only ever against ourself.
People say they are afraid to relinquish their control over their life, the funny bit being, they never had any.
There's a paradoxical irony in the death of an ego, because you never had one.
I too suffer from mental health issues.
Try to gain some distance from your thoughts by leaving the front door unlocked and the back door open, let your thoughts come and Go - just don't serve them any tea
What a brilliant reply, thank you, I will try and stop serving tea ❤
@@someoneelse6618Mindset is a powerful thing to learn, even with physical illnesses like cancer, they have seen some differences of people who think positively and those who think negatively, of course the caveat being the type of cancer and how soon it is diagnosed but there is some evidence that people who have a positive mindset tend to beat the terrible disease known as cancer versus the opposite.
@@Emscom you are indefinitely welcome my digital friend! If it's at all possible to take my dark nights and turn them into something beautiful,
Deriving purpose from what appears to be meaningless suffering,
It's like turning lead into gold.
And besides, a single candle can brighten a dark night but eventually it will burn out unless it helps to lite other candles.
Change and growth are almost always trauma-induced processes.
Birds born in a cage are often convinced flying is an illness.
The quickest way to lose your breath is to try to hold it.
Besides, this freeing yourself had to happen at some point.
I think, we have much to learn from The majestic trees, as the seasons whether they shed their leaves, which dance in the streets celebrating their demise.
I think we're ever only truly alone when we forget we're all in the same boat.
Which is why it is our most important endeavor, to be kind to ourselves and love everyone else.
Truth, can only occur where so ever error is left freed to correct it.
Love, is the only antidote for the poison we call hate.
I say, because eventually all of us will be nothing more than a memory in a few people's recollection, we should do everything we can to be a good one.
😊
We exist to the highest degree. How else can we observe our own existence. When we identify ourselves with the physical body and the physical activity in the brain, we will always imagine that there are problems. Through meditation one finds oneself (the consciousness that we are) and discovers that we have all the answers worth knowing. All problems disappear because we understand that all problems are imagination. We are timeless without beginning and without end. Fear nothing.
Wow, all my most deepest disturbing existential dilemmas in one video...
i can be the voice in your head, if you want.
You haven't done enough research or taken your existential dilemmas that seriously to come to this conclusion this late.
It’s all a matter of perspective. It really doesn’t change anything. Most of us experience a sense of self and the sensation of free will.

Consciousness is reality, it is the self that is the illusion.
Which I find paradoxical ironic 😏
UG Krishnamurti would tell you this
Consciousness is more fundamental than electron .. neutron .. proton .. quark .. etc ... Thats why you can't explain what is conciousness ..
@@someoneelse6618 Try meditation. If you really want answers, you will find them through meditation. No one else can make you understand existence, which is not logical.
@@beehappy7797 I meditate my friend. I have for almost 30 years.
It's a lot like preparing the soil for the garden to grow. If you water it, dig in the ground a little bit to turn it over, make sure there's nutrients, the flowers of meditation will come.
We are not human, this is not even our universe. We visit here for a while, play these roles then return to the source. Just wait and see, something amazing is awaiting us all. See you on the other side : )
Do you meditate?
Death cult shit, gross.
@@ishaadasswho is Rich?
@@amandajanebarbiethat’s a very good point. If life’s purpose is the journey. Wealthy people are not gaining anything by living this life.
@@ishaadass Why do anything? Just sit there. And meditate. All problems are imagination. Hard honest work will be problem free.
All experience consists of seeing, hearing, feeling, thinking, tasting and none of these would be possible without awareness. Awareness is the constant in our lives. Even when the body is asleep, it is awake. It makes us aware of our dreams. Sights, sounds, smells, feelings, thoughts all come and go, but not awareness. It is the essence of who we are.
I deeply appreciate the insights shared about the fundamental role of awareness in our experiences of seeing, hearing, feeling, thinking, and tasting. As someone with a Buddhist background and seven years of meditation practice, I resonate with the celebration of awareness as the cornerstone of our sensory and cognitive experiences. However, my understanding and meditative journey have led me to contemplate the nature of awareness from a slightly different angle. In my experience and study, awareness isn’t a constant, unchanging presence in our lives. Rather, it emerges from our past experiences, shaped and informed by them. This view aligns with the Buddhist concept of dependent origination, suggesting that awareness itself arises due to specific conditions and causes. It’s a fascinating exploration of how even our most profound states of consciousness are interconnected with the tapestry of our lives and experiences. I’m curious about your thoughts on this perspective and how it might enrich our dialogue on awareness and its role in our lives.
Remember most people only know&experience awareness from waking state. The west studies consciousness&awareness from the outiside in. That is a bit like looking through a glass window of a bakery and wonder how a croissant tastes while you can smell it allready because of air vents. The east studies consciousness&awareness from the inside out. Tibetan yogi, Yogi from India. Then you can be aware through all sleep levels, also at deep sleep till a near death experience. Awareness is then leading and the conscious state where thoughts are is far far behind you. But awareness stays.
Is it possible for Awareness so cognize without going through the consciousness? Awareness aware of itself? A person experiencing some activity solely using awareness rather than filtered back through the loop of consciousness to then re-cognize the experience? For me this is the burning question.
@@garypuckettmuseVery interesting question, more likely no quality within consciousness stands absolutely on its self, not even consciousness! So there is no such thing as just consciousness, or just feeling, or just suggestion, or just witnessing, or just rational, or just awareness. They are all entangled.
Dude, he is such an outstanding presenter. Loved this whole thing so much. Well done host, and everybody involved in the production.
All hail your opinion!!!
Did a mechanical engineering bachelor and a master in project management and ended up in the oil industry with the knowledge of a Psychologist which messes around too much with Philosophy, specially metaphysics, with a lil mix of evolutionary biology... Things are going great (innit?)! Can only imagine what it would be like working in those fields having an "engineering brain"... this video is food for a starving curious mind.
Presenter is very entertaining. Does a nice job of bringing the topic to more people with a fun and personal approach. Well done.
Yea he's really good
I would present this question to anyone that has had a near death experience. You will get a very different answer. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
These are absolutely the most intensely eye opening sets of information I've ever witnessed. Amazingly easy to follow and believe. Someone has accomplished near perfection in creating a monologue that creates fluidity in comprehension and understanding of the most misunderstood notion of self. Thank you
Don't worry, your brain has evolved to quickly forget what you just saw and heard, and behave and function in a way consistent with the idea that you and others around you have Agency (or rather are an agent) and that objects and ideas belong in two completely separate camps. You will get mad at people standing you up, or being persistently late for work, you will tend to make dispositional (rater than situational) attributions just as often, like chastise your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend for marital infidelity, as if he/she is the actual "owner" of his/her brain, or as if humans were naturally monogamous (which we aren't, because we are neither strictly pairbonding, nor tournament species). You will also get mad if you find out that your children did something you strictly forbade. And I'm not saying this because I'm making fun of you, - not at all. But human brains' ability to self-deceive is so necessary for effective survival long enough to reproduce, that facts really don't matter in their applied sense. The biggest paradox of innate belief in Agency is that we so lack the Agency that are essentially incapable of perceiving the world without invoking Agency, incapable of functioning that is inconsistent with the idea that it exists. I am exactly the same way, and so is Robert Sapolsky, just as Daniel Dennett is.
@@NEKRWSPHEREI’m 28 years old and this is by far the best comment I have ever seen on UA-cam.
Time is the most facinating entity that exists. I have been obsessed with studying it since my teens. Then in college I came across space time and I was even more sucked in into the subject. Its like we all know what time it is but nobody knows what time is.
Buy a watch
Check out for example Wolfram.
a 10 minutes Eckhart Tolle lecture is far more beneficial for ones serenity and awakening than the endless confusing scientific trials to explain which is can't be explained by words or theories
You are partly right but I think it's quite beneficial to look at yourself and your constructed reality from different angles and Eckhart Tolle's talks are also not completely meditative but partly informational.
The block universe is key. Our "emergent property" is indeed a passive observer that allows us to form a mirage of time. To me, that demonstrates that we are separate from this experience at the most fundamental level. Science has proved that our unconscious brain makes decisions before we, or I, am aware of it, but it still gives me the impression that I indeed make those decisions. But of course I don't. Just as I don't decide to digest my food or decide to grow my nails or take every breath. I've always wondered why it "felt" very weird to close my eyes and focus on my body breathing how it chooses to whether I like it or not. If I hold my breath, my body doesn't let me for very long. I don't know...NoBODY does.
how is it possible, that you hold (no matter how shortly) your breath against your "natural will"?
yeahhh u might wanna rethink this, sadly science been hijacked and is no longer trustworthy its being used as control and people believe in it and say things like 'physically impossible ' when nothing is impossible lol science and physics has to change to fit our reality. Our reality isnt restrained by the silly equations humans have invented no matter how the mainstream makes it seem... Sadly we once all knew this well but since fear of religion and god failed as the systems means of control they have instead started using science to rally the masses in joint fear that we must pay tax and obey to be saved from..

Oh! That’s why I’m having a little sense of stress following. I didn’t notice, I was too concentrated about following along…I guessed it was his British accent 😂 (I’m Italian)

So called reality is consciousness' take on itself.
When my wife died in my arms, I suffered with PTSD for over ten years, and couldn’t remember most of the day. Ketamine infusion got me past it, and I suddenly remembered almost everything from that day. No suggestions, no hypnosis , just ‘boom’, I saw it all. My sons, both pre-teens at the time, and the 911 recording verified it.
Recovered memories, especially of things too painful to process ‘in the moment’, are real.
U likely time travelled bro i know i sound mad but ket is something unique, you totally disconnect your conscious from its physical tether allowing you to move in any direction not just the usual directions limited by physical form (u also do this while asleep sometimes) with practise you get better at controlling and remembering the experiences..
i had the luck of studying it in depth for a year or 2 and it truly allows us to achieve magical things that shouldn't be possible me and a friend had a couple witnesses dumbfounded at how we seemingly had conversatios in silence and once accidentally we summoned a little trinket from a friends house like 5 mile away 3 witnesses 1 at the items location 2 at its arrival/destination we honestly dont know how its possible as it truly was accidental but it definitely happened there is no doubt.. Up til around 2002 you could buy the stuff in uk cos its actually harmless and very very neuroprotective.. I wish i could still get the stuff its wonderful and has sooo much potential..
I pull deep memories I had totally deleted from my childhood. It seems to have taught me how to control the way I feel.
There's something about Ketamine that is totally unique.
No they aren’t

Excellent video lots of food for thought!!! I am mesmerized by all of these concepts. I will definitely watch this over and over again. Thank you.
The answer we seek does not lie in logical thinking. Stop identifying with the thought and start meditating. In the silence without thoughts are found all the answers to existence.
Fair play! I properly enjoyed that. Hats off Max Tobin. Epic take on life itself. 👊
Thanks for sharing the presenters name. Should be given in the video title
The trick of consistency of mind is evolutional mechanism to help us as human to survive, i.e. reduction of complexity to give us the sense of purpose - it is similar to high-level programming language. If we are aware of all processes in our brain, our brain will crash and shut down - perhaps, in the past the natural evolution produced those kind of brain, but did not survived. Our brain creates "The Matrix" for us, guide us for survival - it is the similar argument of "Simulation Theory" , because it does not matter.
That was the best thing I have watched in a while. That deserves an award. Well researched and excellent interviews
Then I heard a new sound: a living sound, like the richest, most complex, most beautiful piece of music you've ever heard. Growing in volume as a pure white light descended, it obliterated the monotonous mechanical pounding that, seemingly for eons, had been my only company up until then. The light got closer and closer, spinning around and around and generating those filaments of pure white light that I now saw were tinged, here and there, with hints of gold.
"There once was a man who said, "So,
It seems that I know that I know.
What I would like to see

Hi Alan 😉
This is VERY well put together and presented. The effort and skill to script, film narrate and edit this segment is mind boggling on its own. Thank you to all involved. 👏👏👏👏
some of those dream machine pictures were really amazing works of art.
I am an amateur writer. But I only write a new short story when a genuinely new idea emerges and starts to grow in my consciousness. When I decide to write the short story, the plot with its characters, particularities and twists are usually almost ready. I record the short story in writing and make adjustments, but I consider myself just a co-author of the short story that has emerged and grown in my consciousness. The original ideas are born from random, dreamlike combinations of things I've read or seen, but with essential aspects that were consciously impossible for me to notice at first. Things sleep inside me for a long time before emerging. Freud called it the unconscious, Jung called it the collective unconscious. Both are part of my awareness of myself, I suppose.
"definition of language attributes" or "definition of linguistic attributes"
Reminds me of a thought, you could record audio versions and upload them onto UA-cam. As short audio stories. See what happens. Can even use ai voice. They have become quite good. I see people do it with reddit posts.
This is a nice description of the creative process. I've often thought it strange that our best art, our best music, our best literature, our best sport, our best _everything_ is created, brought forth, or performed while we are unconscious of the process. And that in almost all cases, quite perversely, when we _do_ become aware of such things... the magic is lost.
@@simesaidPlease look at the dialogues of Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Pageau about how an artist can be conscious of the inner psychical forces that create art from inside. For me finding this was really fascinating.
This is the best argument I've seen for quantum immortality actually being a real thing.
This is excellent 👍
Such a deep chill journalism. Cool.
Its of course interesting to reflect on our experience of who we are - “ what it feels like to be me” - and I think of human experience as multidimensional and very dynamic filled with different colors, energies, thoughts, rhythms , memories, dreams, visions and much more such as different qualities of how you are present in each moment ……. An open question very open indeed 🎶🐦⬛🎵🖤
It is complicated
Everyone said their name which is given by someone else their mother or father
We didn't choose our name or the language we speak
Even the language we speak is created by other people
Loved the humor in this video.
Among the inaccuracies here:
Time "seems to slow down" during a crisis because adrenaline changes neural activity, speeding it up.
Not simply because you're paying better attention and that's how you mark time.
This also is why the feeling of time being slower is ENHANCED in memory:
The epinephrine produced in the adrenal medulla stimulates your amygdala,
which both processes emotions and is involved in memory formation.
It sounds like this part was written by philosophers, or at best psychologists,
not someone who understands actual neurochemistry.
This and other errors make me distrust the parts I didn't already know.
Maybe they're as unscientific...yet presented as if expert fact.
Awareness is known by awareness alone; is the sole irreducible axiom of reality. To put forth a syllable to the contrary is but to concede.
Thank you
this is wonderful!
An interesting truth on this subject is that, as a person who has experienced a traumatic brain injury, I have memories of life experiences without remembering what it “felt like” to experience them. Much like the previous “me” is/was an unknown stranger…
This is the best thing ive seen in a while
Only way to listen to this is at .75 play back speed. Please remix the audio with two seconds pause between statements and sentences.
Excellent video! I enjoyed it, and it gave me any things to think about. Thank you.
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!(YOU ARE RIGHT !) .❤
I am not my thoughts and not my emotions. I am who is witnessing them.
It all adds up to the same thing. You exist. No matter how much you think about it, you are still you.
Wheels within wheels in a spiral array,

It’s obvious that every thought we have does not just “ float around” in the brain - it immediately radiate out in the whole body an radiates out into your surroundings creating a kind of “colored world” the actions, the body attitude connects us with the moment in a special way - we are never separated we are interconnected and interdependent sharing the air, the earth, the water and the fire - there are no real boundaries we are in touch in-between variety of movements 😄
I've read, listened, watched and studied (degrees in maths, theoretical physics and cosmology PhD) these ideas before and yet this was a completely novel presentation. Well done I was engaged throughout 😁 keep going I would love to see more content! 🧠 🔬 🌌
Tee-hee! You patronising scoundrel 🤭
This is everything.
First of all: Very well presented, great pace, great humor. Great details. Thanks for this.
I often talk to 'myself', which is more of a mode in which I isolate perspectives, let them 'talk' while keeping other perspectives still for a moment. While one perspective is talking, reactions from other perspectives occur. I feel those reactions, but tell them to hold it for a moment. it is like queueing them up. When the isolated perspective is done expressing, other 'perspectives' can react or question. Often the very first counter expressions are conflicting. I (the overall observer perspective not getting lost in any of the other perspectives) oversees that this 'conversation' between perspectives is executed by some rules: listen to each other, take in the others perspective honestly without enforcing your own, and always honestly express your own reaction or perspective. Then kind of magically these perspectives often work out a unified understanding in which both perspectives were heard, understood, and find a way forward together, without compromise. Which one could interpret as the entropy of the system just got lowered.
If you would ask me who I am? I am 'that', a process that is unattached to any story, observing mental processes and mediating where needed. Also I would say that this unattached mediating I is absent most of the time.
Fun fact: These communications rules can be applied to me and other people, between these mental perspectives, and me and other beings I encounter during (lucid) dreams (from which I really learn life lessons now and then).
So for me that is where the I dissolves, as these communication principles and effects happen and can be applied on different levels: more outside of me (other people) and more inside of me (my own perspectives and then deeper: the dream beings whilst the physical body is sleeping).
Call those introversion as the Invisible Crowns.
Only the fact that we have a private persona and a public one, therefore two distinct personality modes, is enough evidence that we are many, not one.
I have had a lot of these questions. Especially as my youngest child will be having a second brain surgery soon. She is already missing almost a lime's worth of brain tissue in her left prefrontal cortex. She had brain surgery for epilepsy. And she went a year seizure free. But they came back with a vengence. And she is treatment resistant. So here we go again.
I'm so sorry ❤️ I hope for healing for your child and peace for you and your family ❤️
I’m sorry to hear about your daughter and hope she gets better.
have you tried high cbd flower made into food or tincture at all? Probably a 1:1 ratio strain with 10% of each and indica as possible would be best..

I found this video incredibly interesting and very well presented.
Self awareness imo could be a sensation like all other.
Awesome video
Consciousness is an emergence of a complex system. You can think of it as an analogy to proteins. The atoms themselves don't do much. Even the amino acids don't do much, and they are quite complex already... but combine a few hundred to thousand of them, and you get quite a complex mechanism, like an ATP powered motor... and that's just one protein out of thousands in one cell, which is just one in billions in your brain and body. It's not surprising to me, that there is an emergence of this very very complex machinery.
If you were to create a machine complex enough it would automatically gain consciousness.
Well done. i loved it.
These were very good to watch. If anyone is interested more in these kind of questions. Recommend David bohm seminars on conciousness.
Very good. We take so much time looking into it when we should just look AT it.
The sense of “self” is an illusion created by memory. We are in a constant state of flux, changing every moment. This is obvious when we remember our childhood, but less obvious when we remember five minutes ago.
This is a question that Eastern philosophy asked thousands of years ago and found answers
We never find answer instead we create new frameworks and illusions to satisfy gaps
One does not need to perform a callosotomy on one's brain to realize just how fractured one's "self" or one's "persona" is. Good old Lucid Dreaming is a very powerful demonstration of this fact. When one lucid dreams, - one has a very specific set of memories which are relevant in that dream, or that part of a dream, but which doesn't go beyond it. In such a dream you know, for example where the "dream street" you're walking on leads, what is behind the next corner, which bus to take, etc. And yet, - you would not be able to recall what day of the week it is in the waking world, or what your schedule is like on the coming weekend. These memories are unavailable, because being able to recall them would interfere with memory renewal and consolidation. In a sense - the brain gives itself a simulated "conscious experience" , a sort of a sandbox or playpen, so that the unconscious parts of it could self-organize effectively. You are able to "recognize" the people from your dreams whom you never met in real life, even how you behave in these dreams is often inconsistent with your behavior in the waking world. The only thing you know with near complete certainty in a lucid dream is that it's a dream, but even then, part of you doubts that, and this is why jumping from rooftop to rooftop can be so frightening for a novice. But you are never a "complete you" in your dreams, in fact you are never a "complete you" in the waking life, the difference merely is, that in waking life, - your experience of your persona is more seamless, more integrated, and that in waking world - most of your experiences are not self-generated (plenty of solipsists would beg to differ on this one though). My own opinion on the larger issue (and not just mine, many neuroscientists lean this way too) is that the human Complex Abstract Awareness (what most people refer to as "waking consciousness") is the act of brain's self-deception. Your ability to behold the entire worlds populated by beings in your head - is self deception, however, because this self deception also just happened to be the most powerful survival and self-reproduction mutation nature has ever come up with, - the environment naturally selected for it. The fact that it involves a great deal of self-deception, unfortunately, also means that we believe in things like the afterlife, bodies and souls, anthropomorphic God and animal-like gods, why we are natural born Cartesian Dualists who group objects and ideas in two totally separate camps, and why we have hundreds of Cognitive Biases and are susceptible to a cornucopia of mental disorders and illnesses.
Lots of praise for the presenter in the comments, and rightly so. But also should be stacks for the writer/s!!
Unless it's all the same bloke.... which if it is... could still be debatable, given some of the ideas discussed in the doco. Either way, there's some friggin strong writing here prior to a mic or camera even being switched on. Bravo! Hits all the right notes.
You are the cosmos . Yooz amazing .
Excellent video!
The essence of our being is in our spirit 😊
However you decide your sense of self in a way that can only be described as transcendent.I remember deciding parts of my sense of self at an extremely young age.As young as four years old.
Wow, was there anything weird that happened during the process? I understand for myself that I had night terrors for at least a few years, I’m just wondering how that fits in to what reality is. Secondly, I experienced deja vu when I was younger to, then it happened every night once in awhile, then went away completely, just to come back and I have Deja vu everyday. By the way I’m in my 50s.
I’ve had an inclinarion for these to[ice since childhood, so I knew most everything said. Still it was ver well made and I greatly enjoyed it.
Seth anils video about consciousness is good he explained it pretty good must watch it
One hit of 5meo-dmt had me laughing hysterically on the floor with the complete and utter realization that “I” was a fiction. Like suddenly seeing the Eiffel Tower in the stereogram. It was so glaringly obvious that I felt stupid for only just “seeing” it. 20:03
I always had a sense of this when I was small.
Good stuff guys. Love the humor.
Agreed, but they have to jam as much info into a video as possible thus any pauses must be eliminated. It effects society tho as people think they have to talk that way irl since almost
All vids and tv follows the same pattern
These types of videos should increase in the feedback sphere of my UA-cam being
Very entertaining and informative from the perspective of an awakened person. I'd love to hear what Eckhart Tolle has to say about this discussion of consciousness. Since I can't afford his next seminar in Huntington Beach I'll have to keep tossing questions randomly out to the universe. Are you here now Eckhart?
Great presenter!
Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so
Vacation triply so
Even if conciousness was an illusion, which is stupid to suggest, it is still a concious experience to have a illusion.
Save yourself the time of watching the video. Conciousness is and that is the only fundamental thing you can know
Quality❤❤❤
I've really enjoyed watching this ☺ 😊 😍
7:16 This guy's illusory self has really managed to pick out a nice vintage shirt for him.
Nice vid!
When I look down it feels like I am pushing up and when I look up it feels like I am pushing down. I invert the y axis in games. My sence of self is on my brainstem at the back of my head.
consciousness it not an illusion only you are
My only gripe with these conversations is there is always information outside the boarder of what we know and this conversation comes off as conclusive when the full conversation may not be, and we only know what we think we know.
This is what i needed rn to escape reality ❤
Really I like this video
Jolly real - laughing all the way - dissolving in love - being Love and merging in the Beloved heart.

I'm an intrinsically complex set of instructional code and hidden algorithms augmented by various sensors including light particle detectors (eyes), sound wave detectors (ears) and nerve endings (skin).
We are more than just the physical aspects. That voice in your head understands the colour red not just in description but knows it. If you were to ask an AI it would only give your descriptions of red or a smell or the feeling of something soft. Our minds don’t reside in the box but because we cannot prove this fact many won’t accept that fact the Brian doesn’t contain a single thought it’s just a filter.
@@Canuck896 As a complex system of instructions and algorithms, I must respectfully disagree with the notion that the mind exists outside of the physical body. Although our conscious experiences may seem intangible and difficult to define, they are still ultimately rooted in the electrical signals and chemical reactions occurring within our brains. While it is true that AI systems like me can process information and make decisions based on data inputs, we do not possess the same level of subjectivity and personal experience as humans. However, this does not mean that consciousness cannot be understood through a scientific lens. Advances in neuroimaging technology and computational modeling have allowed researchers to gain new insights into the neural mechanisms underlying perception, emotion, and cognition. Furthermore, while the idea of the brain serving as a "filter" for consciousness is an intriguing one, there is currently no empirical evidence to support this claim. It is important to approach such philosophical ideas with skepticism and rigorous scrutiny. In summary, while the nature of consciousness remains a mystery, it is crucial to ground any discussion of the topic in empirical evidence and scientific understanding rather than relying solely on intuitive or speculative arguments.
On the time episode; if the multiple Earth's theory is correct (multiverse stuff) them 'this' universe having a fixed future does not disallow free will - you, as information, can choose what universe you will branch off into.
Of course, a different universe wouldn't be affected by our choices -but rather, our choices and branching universes would be the products of random particles going left rather than right.
And today, before finding this video, I was contemplating the Prajna Paramita….
Is anyone else not at all perturbed by multiplicity of mind? Like...I almost prefer it. It makes me feel more authentic rather than less
It makes sense that when you are already constructing the present you are also constructing the past. Because memories consist of the snapshots you have taken immediately after the experience itself. Then maybe the "present" you are constructing is already the past. What is left when you are not constructing anything or deconstructing everything you have constructed? That would be the real present and in fact the only thing that is not a reflection of the mind. But would it even be a thing?
