Why not put Bernard Carr's name in the title? He's a brilliant scientist in his own right, not just Hawking's friend. And I truly think his view will turn out to be closer to the truth than perhaps even Hawking's. Comment update: Thank you for all the upvotes. I'm very glad Dr. Carr's name has now been added to the title of this video. Dr. Carr may not be as well-known as Stephen Hawking, but he's one of the pioneers who have expanded our understanding of the universe and brought us to the edge of reality. And he's helping to sweep rigid materialism to where it belongs - the dustbin of history. Mad respect for Dr. Carr for his courage, his open-minded approach and for all his contributions to a deeper understanding of reality.
Valid point! I speculate that it's because Essentia is attempting to cater to UA-cam's algorithm to get more views. "Stephen Hawking" is probably a more popular search term.
Because it gives them actual legitimacy if they're the friend of a famous scientist, it drives clicks. No one cares unless you put Elon musk or Joe Rogan or Stephen Hawking in the title or thumbnail somehow, the actual content of a video isnt even the point anymore it's just a vehicle for ad revenue.
I've waited over 20 year's to hear this discussion! I've anticipated it for so long! Thank you for sharing this! Thank you Prof. Carr and Natalia for this incredible and phenomenal discussion!
I always find Bernard delightful and love that he addresses areas where many leave gaps. This was a particularly wonderful interview with him. Bravo and thank you!
Thank you both for confirming my unbelievable experiences, which I could not share with anyone, even my family. I thought I had gone mad. I would run into libraries, special bookstores, n any source I could, to find out if I was mad or not? 40 years ago, there was no talk of these phenomenon. I could get in trouble in many ways. Although, The Consciousness had asked me to write about what I had learned, I haven't done it to this day... Hearing n knowing someone as credible as this established scientist confirming my experiences is encouraging. He knows, as I do, how fulfilling n amazing it is, to develop from a science oriented person, to a spiritual, self aware n creation aware person. The evolved human to higher dimensions. Love n Light be with you. Neli
Instead of watching a lot of such interesting videos the whole year, I think this has given a good encapsulation and especially now that it has appeared in the beginning of year, I will marinate and revisit this one when I want to decompress during 2024 , meanwhile I will concentrate on clips more relevant to my immediate personal goals. May y’all who watch this have profitable and fruitful lives!
1:19:11 about the slowing down of time, I had an experience I wish I could discuss with you-all. I was in a car accident where I could see it about to happen and I braced against the dash board. It seemed like a long time/long way off until we hit the stone wall. I was thrown up and forward so that my head went through the windshield. As I was falling back, I consciously opened my eyes with the intention of seeing the hole in the glass. I watched the bits of glass trickle away from my eyes in slow motion. When my back hit the seat-back I returned to normal time. Much later, when I visited the site where it happened I was astonished to see how short the distance from the road to the stone wall actually was. I think it's odd and interesting, but other than that I don't know what its significance is, if any. It's like scenes I've seen in movies, so I am certain others have experienced such time slowing events as well. (edited for typos)
I was in an accident last year in May. A lady hit me from the back going 65mph, no braking, as my car was parked on the road with the hazards on (I smelled something burning so I pulled over). As soon as I got back into my car after checking it, she hit me. I remember pushing back the back of my seat with all my might, as if to push the wreckage from coming closer to me AS the car slammed into me. The crazy thing about this is that I actually immediately blacked out from the whip lash. I woke up in my totaled car down a 36 foot embankment. There was blood on the airbags, but no trace of where the blood came from (I was bruised up with internal injury, but no external ones). It still confuses me to today where the blood came from and how I clearly remember pushing back on the back seat, but I was simultaneously out cold. I do wonder if it was just the physical me that was knocked out while my consciousness/spirit/soul was fighting back. So strange.

The hallucinations you get from psychedelics like DMT looks as real as what you perceive to be real, it's so beautiful and almost unbelievable because I didn't know it was humanly possible to experience something like that. Would love to have the experience again if i ever find a source.
The experience I had is unexplainable it's out of the world, it got my mind of anxiety and healing prosperities of DMTand other psychedelic products are underrated, you don't have to be skeptical about the use of psychedelic products like magic mushroom and more, you'll get clarity and an open mind
There is a lot more to life than meets the eye ! A few weeks ago my wife and lost our old cat. Her name was MEEP because when she was a stray kitten and would have perished, she mewed so much that we went out and rescued her and from then on , whenever you would come into the room or look at her or pet her she would 20“ meep” . She was so old and in an immovable painful state and had been staying a mile away where we had moved away from with our son . It was a Saturday and I came home from my Luthier job and that evening was doing the LA Times crossword puzzle of the day and the clue for the top right corner was Beakers call? Answer ; MEEP ! I showed my wife who acted very emotional about it . The next day she told me that she and our son had taken Meep to the vet earlier that Saturday and Meep had been “ put to sleep”! Coincidence? I have been doing these crossword puzzles for decades and never run across the word MEEP in the answer for a clue !!!
Omg I had a black cat I found as a kitten who was screeching like some sort of dinosaur. Unfortunately she died when she was quite small on the road ..but she would always come when we called her and make a little noise. The best cat I ever met ive never felt such greif of losing anyone before. I was devastated because it was my fault I told my son to just put her out as my son had all his art portfolio out and the cat was trying to play dangerously threatening all his artwork. And to put him in a room would have had to get the younger son to clean the litter tray and I had to help my older sone with arranging his portfolio so for convenience I just said put her out. And I didn't say put her out the bakc which I normally do so my younger son put her out on the road side of the house. I have never felt so gutted when I went out and I called her name and there she was being attacked by a big Tom cat on the road. Karukaru was her name as that was the noise she made when she came tropping along to us. Sigh.
And had the clue been BANJO there would no doubt have been someone who had a dog, cat or iguana named banjo that died that day, or they found a banjo, or lost one or there was a banjo song on the radio just as they filled that clue in . Lot of people cats dogs and banjos. And FWIW if you google it meep is not an uncommon answer or clue in numerous crosswords.
@Joe-lb8qn Well aren't you a little ray of sunshine. I'm sure these people who are looking for comfort in their loss are ecstatic with your contribution!
What a wonderful discussion and way to end the year with the Essentia Foundation. Happy New Year! Looking forward to what Essentia has to bring in 2024.
Bernard Carr is hinting at the future of science....The inclusion of Mind with a capital M. I agree with this Gentleman. A new door in science is indeed being opened. 💯
Thank you, Finally an intelligent/intuitive mind i can understand rather than all the ones who sound smart but dont really explain complex shit concisely, they have a great vocabulary to but no equanimity (openness)
The Third Eye, read it around 50 years ago and I am still amazed at the revelations contained therein. I remember reading about the Enfield case, way back when, so glad he is mentioning it.
Read Life after Life by Raymond Moody and Proof of Heaven by Neuro surgeon Eben Alexander. Both those book will REALLY open your eyes regarding consciousness after death.
My favorite, was the Entity case in California. Witnessed by 23 people from UCLA University. Three of them fainted with fright. Also, The Rosenheim poltergeist. Which only occurred when a certain person was in the building. The Enfield case, the Girls knew the name of the man who died in the house, and how he died, also, the exact location he died in. Yet they had never met the family who previously lived there.
amazing discussion. i was thrilled to hear Prof Carr talk about the brain as filter, operating in greater universal consciousness - those were my exact and independent conclusions following experiences with psychedelics, specifically DMT.
Psychedelics were horrible for me. I saw monsters and demons with flames coming our their eyes. Literally hell. Never ever again. It was a horrible trip and I was ill for a week after.
I wonder what Mr Carr would say about a meditation experience I had years ago...I was writing a letter to my mum sitting at the table. I had my friends cat "Fat cat" (who was well overweight), sitting on my lap. Whilst writing, I had an overwhelming feeling that I should meditate, so I did, still holding the pen. Then I started getting pins and needles where I was holding the pen, and I kid you not, my fingers seemed to go through the pen, and I can only describe it as, splitting into cazillion billion atoms and everything was the same tiniest form...table, chair, house and at the same time it was as expansive as the universe..Fat cat must have felt something because he flew off my lap and brought me back to this reality..it was the most incredible experience of my life. In that split second, I felt an incredible unconditional love and that everything was going to be ok. looking back, I think it was to do with the cat and he was probably purring so could have changed my frequency...and just to add, there were no drugs involved!! So get your cat sitting on your lap, hold a pen and meditate and maybe you too can experience the same 😉😍😺🪑🖊️🌌💥
If we had more scientists like Mr. Carr, world would be in much better place. Thank for very interesting discussion. Happy and healthy New Year! God bless you ❤❤
Fascinating... and I have experienced on stage how time seems to slow or pause and spread out as space... when the attention of the audience is optimal as witnessed by their silence, as if holding their breath... I have found these moments to be when I felt the most real, the most alert, the most fully alive. It is indeed a well-known "high" of acting.
OH MY GOD FINALLY!!!For years I didn’t know what this experience was but when I was young and I had a fever. I remember I was laying on the couch sick and my mom was making food for lunch. I remember seeing her move from the kitchen to dinner table super fast.Also the pounding of her footsteps on the ground sounded sped up like someone beating on a drum. It was as if someone hit the fast forward button of reality. I had another similar experience and I was sick also. I told my family and they didn’t really believe it. But I finally know what I experienced after years of not knowing thinking I was insane.
I also experienced something similar a few times, usually when I woke up in the middle of the night. E.g. I heard my roommate snoring but it was sped up very fast. Where in the video does he explain such phenomena?
This video is so good and informative. I gained some additional perspective from Dr. Carr. He has very intelligent, lucid thoughts that have great relevance.
Happy new year to you and all listening here 🤗🎊🍾🥳🎉. Wow this information is amazing I have been fascinated with time and dimensions and will definitely be looking at more of Bernard Carr's wisdom.
Socrates and Pythagoras have said some stuff that could be aligned. Such as the phrase by Socrates (I think) that by learning we are remembering something that we already know (that would be the collective Mind that knows)
The human mind is like a radio that can tune in to the consciousness of the universe. Our genes and experience makes us how we appear as an individual but the source of the conscious comes from the field of conciousness that permeates the entire universe. I think one day quantum physics will be able to indicate that the same way we found the higgs field, but it will probably be very difficult
True science keeps opening doors fearlessly raising questions and offering scientists opportunities to build new knowledge, not regurgitating past theories as a final truth. It becomes scientism that refuses new challenges too scared to move beyond their comfort zone. True Scientists know they're not meant to feel comfortable with the unexplainable, but they research and document findings anyway. All great scientists in history used their imagination or a random observation.
I've had out of body experiences and lucid dreams and I know beyond any doubt that my consciousness became separate from the body, so to speak. When you have it , you just know.
When people say that to me it always makes me very sad, because I've never had an experience where I could "Just Know". Even the most incredible spiritual experiences of my life were defined by a ticking uncertainty, like an anchor.
I did have the experience of time slowing down. Back in the 70s I was on my motorbike in traffic waiting to make a right turn into a small street. A drunk driver in a big heavy car hit my motorbike at full speed from behind. I remember being in the air for what felt like a long time, and I remember thinking I have been in the air for a long time and will drop back to the ground and when I hit the ground it is going to hurt and I may be badly injured. I was not too badly injured just a sore back and neck for a week or so.
I was also hit by a truck while driving a car. I experienced that same state of altered time between the time the truck hit me and when my car spun and hit a tree. It felt like time slowed down and I was hyper focused on certain things happening.
What you experienced is a known phenomena.I have experienced it more than once in high stress circumstances like eg., an accident: Look up the term: Tachy Psychy / Tachypsychia.Cheers.😊
Loved it! Been playing with these things for over 50 yrs. I read "As a Man Thinketh" at an early age and that helped ally my fears of being alone in my cognitions. We have more senses than we know. In the buddhist framework we count eight consciousnesses. Isn't Laws of physics some kind of oxymoron?? So, like, when and how did these laws go into effect 🙂?? Did we vote on them LOL?? The problem is similar to government. By the time we come up with a solution, the problem is 5 yr down the road. And so when truth is found it has already changed from what you perceive. Naomi Worth said, "A central goal of Buddhism is the transformation of perception, where one goes from seeing through a deluded filter to seeing reality. The Buddhist path is laid out with many prescriptions for how to go about this, with meditation as the key practice"
Professor Carr had a very good experiment for determining whether or not the body loses weight when it goes into a dream. And this is when we get into the world of the late astrophysicist Kozyrev and the use of special torsion balances which can measure whether time is being added or subtracted.
Just include his name and add keywords like "research" to the search query . If that doesn't work out then use the same keywords to search in science journals like Research Gate, PubMed etc.
My experience with poltergeist happened to me in my fifties. It was a time when I could become extremely frustrated and angry. When I would become overwhelmed by anger and frustration books would fall, my phone would fly across the room, it would hit me, things would drop off tables. These events always coincide.
I am so happy that I found this Channel - it opens Cosmic space and consciousness into boundless dimensions of creativity but we have to choose with our HeartMind - because we need love with boundless freedom to celebration the beauty and joy of Life 🙏🎵💜🎶🦄
I want to feel like that... I've had a nihilistic physicalism wrapped around me for a decade, reducing everything to clockwork and sapping all the wonder out of life. I'm hoping I might be able to break free... But I still fear this will just be another dead end...
I think I know where you are going with that. It’s my personal belief that the physical world is a manifestation of our consciousness projecting itself outward and then feeding back to us. Humans are actually non- material psychic beings and together, our collective projections literally create our bodies and our physical home, the Earth which we live on together.
2:06:55 this is a good question but its not so mysterious or special as he supposes. A materialist doesn't claim its meaningless to ask this, but rather says its meaningless to suppose some higher mind which fragments, you need to keep the issue clear and use clean arguments. Why am I, I and not someone else then? Well thats actually pretty simple to answer when you give it some thought. We are who we are because of our specific brain structure, genes, our parents, our choices, environment, desires, opinions and thoughts. The actual amazing part is all of the history that led up to you and me being born
Really interesting discussion. It seems pretty simple --there was a singularity, a mind in a higher dimension wanted to observe itself, and willed the separation of matter and dark matter. This created duality and a Big Bang. These act in a harmony that plays a song in a sense and allows consciousness to observe itself. This is the non-duality, duality model discussed in many religions. Not your physics, but it is our experience, isn't it? Fun discussion you presented here. Thanks
woah..." closing down the brain increases more awareness" is wild 🙃. Just like the more we know, the more we don't know kind of things...I believe that totally from personal experiences...
This is the precise reason why meditation is held in such a great esteem within spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. It is not exactly described as “closing down the brain” within these traditions, but rather becoming calmer and more still within. Stillness meditation is the foundation on which other types of meditations can build upon. It is from within stillness we can start to expand our awareness and thus expand our understanding of ourselves and the reality we experience. Later, when we have become very familiar with our own stillness and have an (relatively) easy access to it we can start to experiment with taking bolder leaps into the realm of awareness in the midst of activity and busyness even. But for most practitioners the best starting point is the establishment of a state of realise stillness first. An obstacle to this practice arise if we start to enjoy this state of being and start to cling to it as if it is some form of “higher state of consciousness” that must be maintained at all times. This is regarded as an obstacle because it is based on an element of clinging within the mind. It is always necessary to remind oneself to never cling to anything that occurs in the mind. Not even a calm state of non-thought should be clung to. Likewise, we should never try to suppress what arises either. To fully accept but never cling to whatever arise in the mind is the attitude a meditator should carry with him at all times. In this way we start to work on our own desires and aversions effectively. Slowly we start to recognise that no matter what arises it will not last long before it is replaced by something else. It is here we’re starting to discover the real nature of our mind and whatever we experience. Moment by moment we observe that experiences come and go just like clouds in the sky. They arise out of nothing and dissolve into the same nothingness they came from. Even while they remain our experiences change and becomes something else. Nothing ever remains in the mind. The word “experience” encompass all the different events taking place within our awareness, such as thoughts, feelings and inputs through our five doors of sense consciousnesses.
Very interested to hear this, right of the bat I must ask, what has been censored at 5:14? Can the 1st time he was interested in para really be that sensitive, all these decades later?
Wow. He blessed us with two and a half hours of his greatest knowledge and insights. I think Professor Carr would love to read the following books: The Kybalion, Teaching the Law of One (Books 1-4), The Hermetica, Compendium of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, Journey of Souls, and Destiny of Souls. What an awesome interviewer, interviewee, and array of topics discussed!
I love this gem of a man. Endless curiosity and humility at the feet of a universe. His ability to be so open is what I always believed science to be. Just imagine if we had children being taught by a mind like this. Being told that there are books to be filled with further theory and you could be adding to the world view. Instead of the tight rope of religious science. Where memory is key and hitting the theory wall the correct end.
Loved this! I have never understood why the paranormal is not scientifically investigated. So many interesting points made here. Great interview. Also such a coincidence that he used the example of falling off a mountain and that had actually happened to you!
I woke up in 2017 with a thought formed in my mind, which I quickly wrote down. "Love is a quality of intelligence; intelligence is a quality of consciousness; and consciousness is a quality of all things, by degree." I believe now that we live in a conscious universe, and that science has a long way to go to understand the nature of our world and our experiences. It is never going to be possible to develop a theory of everything until consciousness is brought into the equation. The problem is that we use the word ambiguously, to mean awakeness, or thought, and that definition simply doesn't work if you think of the consciousness of a rock, or a plant. It means something different, and needs to be considered as part of a whole structure, not as a separate idea.
Thanks for sharing, very interesting! Around 10 years ago and just as I woke up in bed one morning, a voice interrupted my thoughts, it just said "The binary code is everything". At that stage in my life I didn't really know what the binary code was, so I had to look it up. I still don't know why I was given that message and by who!
Yes you are quite right about emotion intelligence consciousness, if we consider the consciousness of the universe it is more than the sum of its parts, there is the concepts that the universe is made up of many beings at different levels of consciousness, which I suggest we observe in the vegetable animal and human kingdoms, and that the mineral kingdom is the substance From which the vegetable kingdom grows, the Animal Kingdom is a precursor to the human kingdom and both of these depend upon the vegetable kingdom. Everything in the universe is in motion, as science tells us we cannot arrive at absolutely zero physically only as a concept. And in the sense where there is motion there is energy and in a very primitive sense life even in atoms. I use the word primitive in the sense that atoms, Subatomic particles are prime. That is first and evolution proceeds as a result of consciousness inherent in the very substance of the universe. !
That explains comatose patients crying and hearing everything around them, but unable to move. It also explains many NDE’s of which the person is dead, no vitals ( in some cases for an hour) and is still “ aware” of the doctors in the room as well as all rooms in the hospital, and it’s going on after the “ death”. Fascinating talk.
This guy is the only person ive heard say that. Ive been thinking our minds are channels for thoughts rather then the creator of thoughts for years. If you believe it it really changes everything. We then literally are part of a higher being or consciousness. Peace.
I took one and one of the things I learned was that one's take on 'reality' is *entirely* a matter of interpretation. Changes imposed on the interpreter mean altered interpretations. (Change the temperatures, timings, pressures in a mashed peas manufacturing process and the mash in the cans will have a different texture, analogously speaking).
@bradvincent2586 the little i tried was like opening your mind to sense more of what's around you. To see, feel, with less or a different filter as the guest here says i guess. To be more conscious of the wonders of reality.
@@bradvincent2586its like all the organisation that your brain does that makes everything the way is is removed and a sort of musical dance is occurring with everything and you can pick out different songs and dances from the big constant moving thing. Leave you ever looked through a kaleidoscope? Wheras when you're sober everything is in an order where the table is one table and the dog is sitting under the table and the cup is on top of the table..when you take a kaleidoscope and look through it is breaks the image up and moves it around rearranges it. Its very like that except instead of it being Ann image being rearranged it's also sound and feeling and touch etc. As the song says everything is broken up and dances. The dripping tap becomes a symphony the table is not long a r pirated from thw dog and the cup but can be flattened into one tablecupdog complex object and then can be broken up into parts so the handle of the cup and the plane of the table top and the leg of the dog can become on distinct object while the body of the cup and the legs of the table and the ears of the dog for another distinct thing which then move together as if the three became one and then split into two. Or any number of breaking apart and comings together and interactions. Then there are also perceptions of things which are not visual but which are true like one time I was lying on my bed and I realised that all of us are breathing in and out at the same time and so are the trees and that when I breath in some negative space entity is breathing out into me and when I breathe out some negative soace entity is breathing in. And that entity which is the negative soace of my breath is connected to you because its the same negative soace of your breath and that that entity seemed to have a consciousness in the same way that a beloved teddybear feels like it has a real consciousness. So that represented itself as all these eyes connected by lines but those eyes were also lungs and we are really the negative space holes in this lung each one of us like a little alveola sac connected to this lung and if you think about it you are a being a conscious being. Who breathes in. And your alveolar are sacs and negative space in your lungs but without that soace you could not breathe. If that makes sense. So also visually a shadow becomes an object and an object becomes space. Things which arranged by our mind the way they are stop being arranged in the usual way and start to be open to rearrangement which if youre in a certain mood you can control to a certain extent but if you're not in that mood then things can arrange in quays you can't control and don't like. So if you have a fear it can come out of the walls and be right there ..and those experiences can be shared. I had two friends swear a helicopter landed in the middle of the room and they both saw it. Very odd. It's very like post modernism like Picasso or like impressionism where where something is shown in unreal colours it actually represents something more real than a photograph could capture. And a bad trip can be very scary ive never had one except when I drank bad alcohol and had an absolutely horrible trip. Basically poisoned but I've seen people have a bad trip. I've always seemed to be able to not lose my mind by not trying to hang onto it too tightly. That always hurts if you want to make sense of things instead of sort of dance with it.
This point about the specious present reminded me of something. One time when I took psilocybin mushrooms the following happened. Time slowed down ,and it was as if each instance was like a frame from a film. I became anxious as at times I wondered if I would proceed to the next frame. Definitely want to give this some more thought.
If time appears to slow down, it implies that our brains increase in thought processing speed. I once experienced time "slowing down" when I was in a road accident. The actions that I took very probably saved my life, and I was on[y able to take the decisions I took because I had plenty of time to choose the right ones. Dr. David Eagleman says that people who say that have experienced time slowing down during near-death experiences, have miss remembered them. I totally disagree with his scientific conclusions, but then, I'm not a scientist. As for psilocybin mushrooms. I've only taken them twice. I had two out-of-body experiences, but time didn't slow down for me. However, another boy in my school took a load of mushrooms and was killed trying to walk along an underground train track. I've never taken mushrooms since, and gave up all drugs, except alcohol, about a year or two later.
@@joebusa6620 Sounds like you are very prone to having out-of-body experiences. The only time (I recall) an out-of-body experience was during a silent meditation retreat, where we meditated for 10 hours per day. At one point "I" looked down and saw I was above my body. This lasted for only a few minutes.
Because they can't prove it. They said they don't want to see the I formation/telescope. They don't feel comfortable not having an explanation for something. You're a very courageous being, very important for the development of consciousness. The awareness
c. 1:37:00 re. fine tuning - "If you chose all your constants of physics randomly life wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be here asking questions about the universe." If your mind/consciousness isn't a product of your physical brain then why would your brain (or biological life) be required for asking questions?
My question is , lets say that the brain is the physical computer that receive/accommodates consciousness experience (because you cannot deny the physical brain influences our consciousness , for example any lobotomy /brain injury impacts our consciousness experience ) , as its all physical and in such deterministic ,can we also create such receiver synthetically such as a silicon robot brain in which a consciousness can reside or be received / manifested?
that “slow down” of personal time in critical situations was already experimentally explained .. it’s not that you really see time slown down in that moment .. it’s that your brain stores more memories (like more momentary snapshots, cause you are very aware of what is happening in such moment - in general more tou are aware of world around you, more memories are stored in brain and vice veraa).. then retrospectivelly AFTER this event it looks to you time was slowed down - but that’s just because you have simply more memories from that event … your brain retrospectively gives you feeling of how much time pssed based on how much memories it have stored for that given time frame.. Check documentary “Brain with David Eagleman” this experiment is described there
Buddha's expertise is the mind and the nature of reality. It has been and continues to be rigorously debated, analyzed and validated for 2600 years. This is the fundamental training for Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns. The Dalai Lama has been and continues to be in discussions with theoretical physicists. Quantum physics agrees with the Buddha: how we see the world is not how it actually exists. It is important not to lump Buddhism in with the theistic religions. It is something completely different.
@@justasimpleguy7211 While neither the professor in this video nor the scientific world (except me) know exactly what consciousness is, wouldn't it be unfair for me to explain it here, even if briefly?!
Psychic phenomena are hard to duplicate for the same reason the light double slit experiment fails to answer the ( wave or particle ) question. Psychic phenomena is a multidimensional, multi worlds, phenomena just like the interference pattern of double slit light. If you count all the photons then the interference pattern disappears. If you nail down all the para psychological variables then the phenomena disappears.
It's an interesting analogy but double slit experiments yield novel testable predictive models of how it behaves as both wave and particle showing that they're not mutually exclusive categories and that experiment design influences the results. Saying psychic phenomenon go away if you try to study them isn't really analogous if it renders them undetectable. Doesn't it seem problematic to say its unfalsifiable? Even if you thought they were probably real based on anecdotal evidence, it would be self-defeating to assume that no experiment could prove or disprove them.
@@ix905 We have a problem as long as we think of our reality as mechanically deterministic. If we accept that many paths in the past may lead to our current reality then we have a mechanism for parapsychology. And it is true that time is a dimension of space measured in distance. Seconds are not special time is in meters just like the rest of space.
Determinism vs indeterminism is underdetermined (we don't know which is the case yet as interpretations of quantum mechanics that assume deterministic hidden variables or multiverse Hilbert spaces or some other possible explanations are all equivalent for the time being without a way to rule one out). I'd say its fair to just be agnostic (undecided) on that and I'm not sure why it would matter either way. If virtual particles decay complexly randomly but at totally predictable influenceable rates in Casimir Effect compression experiments, does that mean the universe isn't deterministic and provide a mechanism for parapsychology? If particular decays are random and happen at predictable half-life rates, does it provide a mechanism for para? How does something being random yet predictable in aggregate provide a mechanism for parapsychology? It seems intuitive that any combination of radioactive decays or virtual particle appearances and annihilations could aggregate to indistinguishable outcomes in our reality, but its not clear to me what you mean. @@jillengland3277
@@ix905 You place me ( and I put myself here as well ) in the unenviable position of defending the supernatural. This goes against my faith. I don’t believe in ghosts, other gods, witches. I don’t stay up late reading Alistair Crowley. I don’t believe in that nonsense. And yet. And yet It Is Real. I don’t understand how. There seems to be to be real evil. And many people who are good. And I am in possession of an impossible improbable living human avatar, and there are millions of similar beings in this city around me. So the improbable supernatural world does exist. The time slit experiment is real. Just because we can not explain some phenomena with science does not actually make that negative result true. Just because we think you know how something came to be does not mean you really understand it. Our material world is built on the work of gods we know not. We really do not know what we are and our science is flawed. There is a supernatural world, and we were created by gods, and there is a world where our consciousness exists after we die.

One thing I wish Physicists would look into is the fact that we all are physical molecules travelling through space at 800km per second (2.8 mil. km/hour). It occurs to me that outer body experiences, intense spiritual experiences that transcend "space and time", meditational experience of the "Unified Field", intuitively to me, at least, seems to mirror exactly the true reality of, literally, flying through space. It is the illusion of "stillness" as some absolute state, thanks to gravity, that throws us. Ironically, it is through stillness, while meditating for example, that one can experience what appear to be "cosmic" experiences, when in fact it seems you are experiencing the truly known state of things. How does the speed we are moving relate to consciousness and does it affect the various states of consciousness we, as a species, seem to have access to?
I am curious about his use of the term "theory." What exactly does he mean by it? What predictions does his theory offer, and if it lacks predictive or descriptive elements, perhaps it should be labeled as a hypothesis..
@@egglion7931 you got it the other way around. It starts with hypothesis and progresses into theory if eventually testable. And NO, quantum theory he mentioned is NOT equally hypothetical ( have to check the exact timing he mentioned that) ....
Theory means a model stronger than a hypothesis that accounts for and predicts all evidence in science and withstands falsification (think the theory of gravity, the theory of evolution, and so on) so I'd call what he's saying a conjecture at this point unless I missed something. It's not quite a hypothesis yet if it doesn't make any novel testable predictions or explanations for the data we observe. Skepticism expressed about cognitive science's explanations of consciousness aren't aging well and seem to rely mostly on intuitions and arguments from ignorance. It doesn't help that the people making them are largely not cognitive scientists in the relevant specialized research.
Yes it's a pity he claims these ideas as his own. Thousands of years ago wise thinkers were saying these things and writing them down in the Hindu scriptures.
Brilliant scientist and communicator?? First thing he talks about is the Enfield poltergeist…..says it was studied for a year…..lots of things were recorded…..is then asked what was recorded…..he says pictures which could have been faked 😂😂…..and when pressed for more recorded examples he presented absolutely nothing and instead said there are too many things that happened to list!!! 😂😂😂😂 That’s when I turned it off!! What was the point of even bringing up the Enfield poltergeist?? I’m guessing this is what he does on every subject!
@@Mosesranthemetresinarcsecondshmm, pretty pretentious, assumptive and lacking in patience. Immediately jumping to the conclusion that because he didn't want to answer something thoroughly in a couple hour interview that he can't answer it more thoroughly or that there must not be any real examples to provide.
@@joeypchajek or it’s the fact I realised that he had absolutely no evidence to present from the Enfield poltergeist case which would then make the whole subject / case an utterly pointless thing to bring up! Did he present any further evidence about it later in the interview?? My precognitive special powers predict NO! And if you had evidence to present then why on earth would you not present it when discussing said subject!!! Please let me know in your reply what I got wrong and how he expanded on the Enfield poltergeist case later in the interview
1 hr 32 min in. He talks about time and car accidents. I CAN say - with complete confidence- that it IS possible to move one's body fast enough to respond AND address the physical issues as best one can. ....for me, I saw 2 pieces of very small glass shards, tumbling across my field of view. They left comet trails. And i moved around a great deal before it was all over.
absolutely blew mind this I’d never heard of Bernard Carr so didn’t know any of his theories but experienced a lot of his thoughts & feelings during a mushroom experience, I can say he or any other theories out there couldn’t have effected my thoughts as it’s not something I’d thought about before but yet here these thoughts were, I felt I had these things thoughts come to me because I felt I was experiencing a higher awareness
Why not put Bernard Carr's name in the title? He's a brilliant scientist in his own right, not just Hawking's friend. And I truly think his view will turn out to be closer to the truth than perhaps even Hawking's.
Comment update:
Thank you for all the upvotes. I'm very glad Dr. Carr's name has now been added to the title of this video. Dr. Carr may not be as well-known as Stephen Hawking, but he's one of the pioneers who have expanded our understanding of the universe and brought us to the edge of reality. And he's helping to sweep rigid materialism to where it belongs - the dustbin of history. Mad respect for Dr. Carr for his courage, his open-minded approach and for all his contributions to a deeper understanding of reality.
“Friend of someone who people know” lol… very rude even if they’re not trying. Great interview.
Valid point!
I speculate that it's because Essentia is attempting to cater to UA-cam's algorithm to get more views. "Stephen Hawking" is probably a more popular search term.
@@ontologicalshockyou still could have used his own name and Stephen's name in the title 😊
To be fair his name is written in big letters on the thumbnail which is the 1st thing we look at no big deal I think
Because it gives them actual legitimacy if they're the friend of a famous scientist, it drives clicks. No one cares unless you put Elon musk or Joe Rogan or Stephen Hawking in the title or thumbnail somehow, the actual content of a video isnt even the point anymore it's just a vehicle for ad revenue.
I truly am blown away with Bernard's openmindedness in our current world status in physics. I would like to see more programs with him.
very interesting, I am 70 and have followed a similar path investigating the higher realms of consciousness. So much more going on than most imagine.
Exactly. We live in a hyperdimensional space that is our consciousness. Nothing is not true, everything has truth in its own context.

I always find Bernard delightful and love that he addresses areas where many leave gaps. This was a particularly wonderful interview with him. Bravo and thank you!
That was excellent. Thank you Professor Carr & Natalia. An extremely inspiring conversation.
I have to say his arguments are very logical. He is a true genius but also one of few unbiased scientists.
Thank you both for confirming my unbelievable experiences, which I could not share with anyone, even my family. I thought I had gone mad. I would run into libraries, special bookstores, n any source I could, to find out if I was mad or not? 40 years ago, there was no talk of these phenomenon. I could get in trouble in many ways. Although, The Consciousness had asked me to write about what I had learned, I haven't done it to this day...
Hearing n knowing someone as credible as this established scientist confirming my experiences is encouraging. He knows, as I do, how fulfilling n amazing it is, to develop from a science oriented person, to a spiritual, self aware n creation aware person. The evolved human to higher dimensions.
Love n Light be with you. Neli
Wow, best conversation I’ve ever listened to UA-cam! Thoroughly enjoyed that! 👍
Instead of watching a lot of such interesting videos the whole year, I think this has given a good encapsulation and especially now that it has appeared in the beginning of year, I will marinate and revisit this one when I want to decompress during 2024 , meanwhile I will concentrate on clips more relevant to my immediate personal goals.

1:19:11 about the slowing down of time, I had an experience I wish I could discuss with you-all. I was in a car accident where I could see it about to happen and I braced against the dash board. It seemed like a long time/long way off until we hit the stone wall. I was thrown up and forward so that my head went through the windshield. As I was falling back, I consciously opened my eyes with the intention of seeing the hole in the glass. I watched the bits of glass trickle away from my eyes in slow motion. When my back hit the seat-back I returned to normal time. Much later, when I visited the site where it happened I was astonished to see how short the distance from the road to the stone wall actually was. I think it's odd and interesting, but other than that I don't know what its significance is, if any. It's like scenes I've seen in movies, so I am certain others have experienced such time slowing events as well. (edited for typos)
Me too...in a car accident as well. It is widely known phenomenon as we see this in all action movies
I was in an accident last year in May. A lady hit me from the back going 65mph, no braking, as my car was parked on the road with the hazards on (I smelled something burning so I pulled over). As soon as I got back into my car after checking it, she hit me. I remember pushing back the back of my seat with all my might, as if to push the wreckage from coming closer to me AS the car slammed into me. The crazy thing about this is that I actually immediately blacked out from the whip lash. I woke up in my totaled car down a 36 foot embankment. There was blood on the airbags, but no trace of where the blood came from (I was bruised up with internal injury, but no external ones). It still confuses me to today where the blood came from and how I clearly remember pushing back on the back seat, but I was simultaneously out cold. I do wonder if it was just the physical me that was knocked out while my consciousness/spirit/soul was fighting back. So strange.

This topic is very interesting and helps push the limits on our current confining view of physics.
There is a lot more to life than meets the eye ! A few weeks ago my wife and lost our old cat. Her name was MEEP because when she was a stray kitten and would have perished, she mewed so much that we went out and rescued her and from then on , whenever you would come into the room or look at her or pet her she would 20“ meep” . She was so old and in an immovable painful state and had been staying a mile away where we had moved away from with our son . It was a Saturday and I came home from my Luthier job and that evening was doing the LA Times crossword puzzle of the day and the clue for the top right corner was Beakers call? Answer ; MEEP ! I showed my wife who acted very emotional about it . The next day she told me that she and our son had taken Meep to the vet earlier that Saturday and Meep had been “ put to sleep”! Coincidence? I have been doing these crossword puzzles for decades and never run across the word MEEP in the answer for a clue !!!
Omg I had a black cat I found as a kitten who was screeching like some sort of dinosaur. Unfortunately she died when she was quite small on the road ..but she would always come when we called her and make a little noise. The best cat I ever met ive never felt such greif of losing anyone before. I was devastated because it was my fault I told my son to just put her out as my son had all his art portfolio out and the cat was trying to play dangerously threatening all his artwork. And to put him in a room would have had to get the younger son to clean the litter tray and I had to help my older sone with arranging his portfolio so for convenience I just said put her out. And I didn't say put her out the bakc which I normally do so my younger son put her out on the road side of the house. I have never felt so gutted when I went out and I called her name and there she was being attacked by a big Tom cat on the road. Karukaru was her name as that was the noise she made when she came tropping along to us. Sigh.
Synchroncities..
Coincidence,
And had the clue been BANJO there would no doubt have been someone who had a dog, cat or iguana named banjo that died that day, or they found a banjo, or lost one or there was a banjo song on the radio just as they filled that clue in . Lot of people cats dogs and banjos.
And FWIW if you google it meep is not an uncommon answer or clue in numerous crosswords.
@Joe-lb8qn Well aren't you a little ray of sunshine. I'm sure these people who are looking for comfort in their loss are ecstatic with your contribution!
I really enjoyed the pod cast. Please do another one when it’s possible!
What a wonderful discussion and way to end the year with the Essentia Foundation. Happy New Year! Looking forward to what Essentia has to bring in 2024.
such an interesting, insightful and mind-bending conversation. thank you!
Thank you. That was a lovely conversation. A lot to think about.
Bernard Carr is hinting at the future of science....The inclusion of Mind with a capital M. I agree with this Gentleman. A new door in science is indeed being opened. 💯
Thank you,
Finally an intelligent/intuitive mind i can understand rather than all the ones who sound smart but dont really explain complex shit concisely, they have a great vocabulary to but no equanimity (openness)
The Third Eye, read it around 50 years ago and I am still amazed at the revelations contained therein. I remember reading about the Enfield case, way back when, so glad he is mentioning it.
Read Life after Life by Raymond Moody and Proof of Heaven by Neuro surgeon Eben Alexander. Both those book will REALLY open your eyes regarding consciousness after death.
My favorite, was the Entity case in California. Witnessed by 23 people from UCLA University. Three of them fainted with fright. Also, The Rosenheim poltergeist. Which only occurred when a certain person was in the building. The Enfield case, the Girls knew the name of the man who died in the house, and how he died, also, the exact location he died in. Yet they had never met the family who previously lived there.
amazing discussion. i was thrilled to hear Prof Carr talk about the brain as filter, operating in greater universal consciousness - those were my exact and independent conclusions following experiences with psychedelics, specifically DMT.
Psychedelics were horrible for me. I saw monsters and demons with flames coming our their eyes. Literally hell. Never ever again. It was a horrible trip and I was ill for a week after.
I love the openness of this conversation. It's true to the notion that we simply do not know what we do not know.
Amazing! Great host as well, spot on!
I wonder what Mr Carr would say about a meditation experience I had years ago...I was writing a letter to my mum sitting at the table. I had my friends cat "Fat cat" (who was well overweight), sitting on my lap. Whilst writing, I had an overwhelming feeling that I should meditate, so I did, still holding the pen. Then I started getting pins and needles where I was holding the pen, and I kid you not, my fingers seemed to go through the pen, and I can only describe it as, splitting into cazillion billion atoms and everything was the same tiniest form...table, chair, house and at the same time it was as expansive as the universe..Fat cat must have felt something because he flew off my lap and brought me back to this reality..it was the most incredible experience of my life. In that split second, I felt an incredible unconditional love and that everything was going to be ok. looking back, I think it was to do with the cat and he was probably purring so could have changed my frequency...and just to add, there were no drugs involved!! So get your cat sitting on your lap, hold a pen and meditate and maybe you too can experience the same 😉😍😺🪑🖊️🌌💥
Lol, ok, I'll try to meditate with my cat 😁

I listened to this talk the whole day and realised only realising is what makes one understand.
Fascinating... and I have experienced on stage how time seems to slow or pause and spread out as space... when the attention of the audience is optimal as witnessed by their silence, as if holding their breath... I have found these moments to be when I felt the most real, the most alert, the most fully alive. It is indeed a well-known "high" of acting.
OH MY GOD FINALLY!!!For years I didn’t know what this experience was but when I was young and I had a fever. I remember I was laying on the couch sick and my mom was making food for lunch. I remember seeing her move from the kitchen to dinner table super fast.Also the pounding of her footsteps on the ground sounded sped up like someone beating on a drum. It was as if someone hit the fast forward button of reality. I had another similar experience and I was sick also. I told my family and they didn’t really believe it. But I finally know what I experienced after years of not knowing thinking I was insane.
I also experienced something similar a few times, usually when I woke up in the middle of the night. E.g. I heard my roommate snoring but it was sped up very fast. Where in the video does he explain such phenomena?

Thank you very much for this interview!
Bernard Carr is brilliant. I pay close attention to everything he has to say.
Socrates and Pythagoras have said some stuff that could be aligned.
Such as the phrase by Socrates (I think) that by learning we are remembering something that we already know (that would be the collective Mind that knows)
Love it! Gives so much insight in our reality.

Fascinating times
Pleasure to listen
The human mind is like a radio that can tune in to the consciousness of the universe. Our genes and experience makes us how we appear as an individual but the source of the conscious comes from the field of conciousness that permeates the entire universe. I think one day quantum physics will be able to indicate that the same way we found the higgs field, but it will probably be very difficult
An interesting idea. What kind of frequency does DNA resonate to?

True science keeps opening doors fearlessly raising questions and offering scientists opportunities to build new knowledge, not regurgitating past theories as a final truth. It becomes scientism that refuses new challenges too scared to move beyond their comfort zone. True Scientists know they're not meant to feel comfortable with the unexplainable, but they research and document findings anyway. All great scientists in history used their imagination or a random observation.
This is similar to something I tell myself.
The truth doesn't care how I feel.
And just because it doesn't make sense to me doesn't make it incorrect.
Truth is under no obligation to make sense.
Scientists, however, will tell you that "truth" is a problem for the philosophers to deal with 😂😂
I've had out of body experiences and lucid dreams and I know beyond any doubt that my consciousness became separate from the body, so to speak. When you have it , you just know.
When people say that to me it always makes me very sad, because I've never had an experience where I could "Just Know". Even the most incredible spiritual experiences of my life were defined by a ticking uncertainty, like an anchor.

I did have the experience of time slowing down. Back in the 70s I was on my motorbike in traffic waiting to make a right turn into a small street. A drunk driver in a big heavy car hit my motorbike at full speed from behind. I remember being in the air for what felt like a long time, and I remember thinking I have been in the air for a long time and will drop back to the ground and when I hit the ground it is going to hurt and I may be badly injured. I was not too badly injured just a sore back and neck for a week or so.
I was also hit by a truck while driving a car. I experienced that same state of altered time between the time the truck hit me and when my car spun and hit a tree. It felt like time slowed down and I was hyper focused on certain things happening.
What you experienced is a known phenomena.I have experienced it more than once in high stress circumstances like eg., an accident: Look up the term: Tachy Psychy / Tachypsychia.Cheers.😊
He is so honest.
Loved it! Been playing with these things for over 50 yrs. I read "As a Man Thinketh" at an early age and that helped ally my fears of being alone in my cognitions. We have more senses than we know. In the buddhist framework we count eight consciousnesses.
Isn't Laws of physics some kind of oxymoron?? So, like, when and how did these laws go into effect 🙂?? Did we vote on them LOL?? The problem is similar to government. By the time we come up with a solution, the problem is 5 yr down the road. And so when truth is found it has already changed from what you perceive.
Naomi Worth said, "A central goal of Buddhism is the transformation of perception, where one goes from seeing through a deluded filter to seeing reality. The Buddhist path is laid out with many prescriptions for how to go about this, with meditation as the key practice"
Professor Carr had a very good experiment for determining whether or not the body loses weight when it goes into a dream. And this is when we get into the world of the late astrophysicist Kozyrev and the use of special torsion balances which can measure whether time is being added or subtracted.
What was the experiment called? I cannot find it but it certainly does seem he's done a considerable amount of research in parapsychical phenomenon.
Just include his name and add keywords like "research" to the search query . If that doesn't work out then use the same keywords to search in science journals like Research Gate, PubMed etc.

My experience with poltergeist happened to me in my fifties. It was a time when I could become extremely frustrated and angry. When I would become overwhelmed by anger and frustration books would fall, my phone would fly across the room, it would hit me, things would drop off tables. These events always coincide.
I am so happy that I found this Channel - it opens Cosmic space and consciousness into boundless dimensions of creativity but we have to choose with our HeartMind - because we need love with boundless freedom to celebration the beauty and joy of Life 🙏🎵💜🎶🦄
I want to feel like that... I've had a nihilistic physicalism wrapped around me for a decade, reducing everything to clockwork and sapping all the wonder out of life. I'm hoping I might be able to break free... But I still fear this will just be another dead end...
This is a psychological reality made physical to act as a living feedback, transforming our psychic energy into physicality
I think I know where you are going with that. It’s my personal belief that the physical world is a manifestation of our consciousness projecting itself outward and then feeding back to us. Humans are actually non- material psychic beings and together, our collective projections literally create our bodies and our physical home, the Earth which we live on together.
2:06:55 this is a good question but its not so mysterious or special as he supposes. A materialist doesn't claim its meaningless to ask this, but rather says its meaningless to suppose some higher mind which fragments, you need to keep the issue clear and use clean arguments. Why am I, I and not someone else then? Well thats actually pretty simple to answer when you give it some thought. We are who we are because of our specific brain structure, genes, our parents, our choices, environment, desires, opinions and thoughts. The actual amazing part is all of the history that led up to you and me being born
I totally agree. BERNARD CARR should be named.. Brilliant!
Fascinating discussion!
I really like this series!
Very thoughtful, it’s both unique and on point with Analytical Idealism.
I too was put on this track by Lobsang Rampa's books. This discussion was fascinating and an eye opener.
Really interesting discussion. It seems pretty simple --there was a singularity, a mind in a higher dimension wanted to observe itself, and willed the separation of matter and dark matter. This created duality and a Big Bang. These act in a harmony that plays a song in a sense and allows consciousness to observe itself. This is the non-duality, duality model discussed in many religions. Not your physics, but it is our experience, isn't it? Fun discussion you presented here. Thanks
woah..." closing down the brain increases more awareness" is wild 🙃. Just like the more we know, the more we don't know kind of things...I believe that totally from personal experiences...
This is the precise reason why meditation is held in such a great esteem within spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. It is not exactly described as “closing down the brain” within these traditions, but rather becoming calmer and more still within. Stillness meditation is the foundation on which other types of meditations can build upon. It is from within stillness we can start to expand our awareness and thus expand our understanding of ourselves and the reality we experience. Later, when we have become very familiar with our own stillness and have an (relatively) easy access to it we can start to experiment with taking bolder leaps into the realm of awareness in the midst of activity and busyness even. But for most practitioners the best starting point is the establishment of a state of realise stillness first.
An obstacle to this practice arise if we start to enjoy this state of being and start to cling to it as if it is some form of “higher state of consciousness” that must be maintained at all times. This is regarded as an obstacle because it is based on an element of clinging within the mind. It is always necessary to remind oneself to never cling to anything that occurs in the mind. Not even a calm state of non-thought should be clung to. Likewise, we should never try to suppress what arises either. To fully accept but never cling to whatever arise in the mind is the attitude a meditator should carry with him at all times. In this way we start to work on our own desires and aversions effectively. Slowly we start to recognise that no matter what arises it will not last long before it is replaced by something else. It is here we’re starting to discover the real nature of our mind and whatever we experience. Moment by moment we observe that experiences come and go just like clouds in the sky. They arise out of nothing and dissolve into the same nothingness they came from. Even while they remain our experiences change and becomes something else. Nothing ever remains in the mind. The word “experience” encompass all the different events taking place within our awareness, such as thoughts, feelings and inputs through our five doors of sense consciousnesses.
Very interested to hear this, right of the bat I must ask, what has been censored at 5:14? Can the 1st time he was interested in para really be that sensitive, all these decades later?
Very well thought out concepts in a field of study that inevitably will get more attention in time. A true pioneer.
Wow. He blessed us with two and a half hours of his greatest knowledge and insights. I think Professor Carr would love to read the following books: The Kybalion, Teaching the Law of One (Books 1-4), The Hermetica, Compendium of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, Journey of Souls, and Destiny of Souls.

I love this gem of a man. Endless curiosity and humility at the feet of a universe. His ability to be so open is what I always believed science to be. Just imagine if we had children being taught by a mind like this. Being told that there are books to be filled with further theory and you could be adding to the world view. Instead of the tight rope of religious science. Where memory is key and hitting the theory wall the correct end.
Love this physicist totally agree with him
Loved this! I have never understood why the paranormal is not scientifically investigated. So many interesting points made here. Great interview. Also such a coincidence that he used the example of falling off a mountain and that had actually happened to you!
The paranormal is investigated. See Dean Radin's videos as just one example.
I woke up in 2017 with a thought formed in my mind, which I quickly wrote down. "Love is a quality of intelligence; intelligence is a quality of consciousness; and consciousness is a quality of all things, by degree." I believe now that we live in a conscious universe, and that science has a long way to go to understand the nature of our world and our experiences. It is never going to be possible to develop a theory of everything until consciousness is brought into the equation. The problem is that we use the word ambiguously, to mean awakeness, or thought, and that definition simply doesn't work if you think of the consciousness of a rock, or a plant. It means something different, and needs to be considered as part of a whole structure, not as a separate idea.
Thanks for sharing, very interesting! Around 10 years ago and just as I woke up in bed one morning, a voice interrupted my thoughts, it just said "The binary code is everything". At that stage in my life I didn't really know what the binary code was, so I had to look it up. I still don't know why I was given that message and by who!
Yes you are quite right about emotion intelligence consciousness, if we consider the consciousness of the universe it is more than the sum of its parts, there is the concepts that the universe is made up of many beings at different levels of consciousness, which I suggest we observe in the vegetable animal and human kingdoms, and that the mineral kingdom is the substance From which the vegetable kingdom grows, the Animal Kingdom is a precursor to the human kingdom and both of these depend upon the vegetable kingdom. Everything in the universe is in motion, as science tells us we cannot arrive at absolutely zero physically only as a concept. And in the sense where there is motion there is energy and in a very primitive sense life even in atoms. I use the word primitive in the sense that atoms, Subatomic particles are prime. That is first and evolution proceeds as a result of consciousness inherent in the very substance of the universe. !
That explains comatose patients crying and hearing everything around them, but unable to move. It also explains many NDE’s of which the person is dead, no vitals ( in some cases for an hour) and is still “ aware” of the doctors in the room as well as all rooms in the hospital, and it’s going on after the “ death”. Fascinating talk.
The film is Contact, that was pretty mind blowing.
Silly movie, you can contact God yourself, no middleman needed.
This guy is the only person ive heard say that. Ive been thinking our minds are channels for thoughts rather then the creator of thoughts for years. If you believe it it really changes everything. We then literally are part of a higher being or consciousness.
Peace.
Almost exactly how I feel
very interesting interwiev, good questions I really enjoyed it. the theories are so mind puzzling I could just listen to them for ethernity.
This man is fascinating
Anyone who's ever taken a strong, natural psychedelic arrives at this hypothesis independently, because it is self evident.
What’s it like?
I took one and one of the things I learned was that
one's take on 'reality' is *entirely* a matter of interpretation.
Changes imposed on the interpreter mean altered interpretations.
(Change the temperatures, timings, pressures in a mashed peas manufacturing process and the mash in the cans will have a different texture, analogously speaking).
@bradvincent2586 the little i tried was like opening your mind to sense more of what's around you.
To see, feel, with less or a different filter as the guest here says i guess.
To be more conscious of the wonders of reality.
@@bradvincent2586its like all the organisation that your brain does that makes everything the way is is removed and a sort of musical dance is occurring with everything and you can pick out different songs and dances from the big constant moving thing. Leave you ever looked through a kaleidoscope? Wheras when you're sober everything is in an order where the table is one table and the dog is sitting under the table and the cup is on top of the table..when you take a kaleidoscope and look through it is breaks the image up and moves it around rearranges it. Its very like that except instead of it being Ann image being rearranged it's also sound and feeling and touch etc. As the song says everything is broken up and dances. The dripping tap becomes a symphony the table is not long a r pirated from thw dog and the cup but can be flattened into one tablecupdog complex object and then can be broken up into parts so the handle of the cup and the plane of the table top and the leg of the dog can become on distinct object while the body of the cup and the legs of the table and the ears of the dog for another distinct thing which then move together as if the three became one and then split into two. Or any number of breaking apart and comings together and interactions. Then there are also perceptions of things which are not visual but which are true like one time I was lying on my bed and I realised that all of us are breathing in and out at the same time and so are the trees and that when I breath in some negative space entity is breathing out into me and when I breathe out some negative soace entity is breathing in. And that entity which is the negative soace of my breath is connected to you because its the same negative soace of your breath and that that entity seemed to have a consciousness in the same way that a beloved teddybear feels like it has a real consciousness. So that represented itself as all these eyes connected by lines but those eyes were also lungs and we are really the negative space holes in this lung each one of us like a little alveola sac connected to this lung and if you think about it you are a being a conscious being. Who breathes in. And your alveolar are sacs and negative space in your lungs but without that soace you could not breathe. If that makes sense. So also visually a shadow becomes an object and an object becomes space. Things which arranged by our mind the way they are stop being arranged in the usual way and start to be open to rearrangement which if youre in a certain mood you can control to a certain extent but if you're not in that mood then things can arrange in quays you can't control and don't like. So if you have a fear it can come out of the walls and be right there ..and those experiences can be shared. I had two friends swear a helicopter landed in the middle of the room and they both saw it. Very odd. It's very like post modernism like Picasso or like impressionism where where something is shown in unreal colours it actually represents something more real than a photograph could capture. And a bad trip can be very scary ive never had one except when I drank bad alcohol and had an absolutely horrible trip. Basically poisoned but I've seen people have a bad trip. I've always seemed to be able to not lose my mind by not trying to hang onto it too tightly. That always hurts if you want to make sense of things instead of sort of dance with it.
And btw that's the reason psychedelics are forbidden and for instance alcohol is legal.
This point about the specious present reminded me of something. One time when I took psilocybin mushrooms the following happened. Time slowed down ,and it was as if each instance was like a frame from a film. I became anxious as at times I wondered if I would proceed to the next frame. Definitely want to give this some more thought.
If time appears to slow down, it implies that our brains increase in thought processing speed. I once experienced time "slowing down" when I was in a road accident. The actions that I took very probably saved my life, and I was on[y able to take the decisions I took because I had plenty of time to choose the right ones. Dr. David Eagleman says that people who say that have experienced time slowing down during near-death experiences, have miss remembered them. I totally disagree with his scientific conclusions, but then, I'm not a scientist.
As for psilocybin mushrooms. I've only taken them twice. I had two out-of-body experiences, but time didn't slow down for me. However, another boy in my school took a load of mushrooms and was killed trying to walk along an underground train track. I've never taken mushrooms since, and gave up all drugs, except alcohol, about a year or two later.
@@joebusa6620 Sounds like you are very prone to having out-of-body experiences. The only time (I recall) an out-of-body experience was during a silent meditation retreat, where we meditated for 10 hours per day. At one point "I" looked down and saw I was above my body. This lasted for only a few minutes.
Because they can't prove it. They said they don't want to see the I formation/telescope. They don't feel comfortable not having an explanation for something. You're a very courageous being, very important for the development of consciousness. The awareness
This was quite enlightening. I never really came across the specious present argument for paraschology and consciousness.
You think he's wrong?
@@krzykris no I don't think he is wrong. I had an experience where time stood still and his theory might explain that.
c. 1:37:00 re. fine tuning - "If you chose all your constants of physics randomly life wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be here asking questions about the universe."
If your mind/consciousness isn't a product of your physical brain then why would your brain (or biological life) be required for asking questions?
The brain is a switchboard between me (non-locational consciousness) and my body (temporary meat vehicle).
My question is , lets say that the brain is the physical computer that receive/accommodates consciousness experience (because you cannot deny the physical brain influences our consciousness , for example any lobotomy /brain injury impacts our consciousness experience ) , as its all physical and in such deterministic ,can we also create such receiver synthetically such as a silicon robot brain in which a consciousness can reside or be received / manifested?
that “slow down” of personal time in critical situations was already experimentally explained .. it’s not that you really see time slown down in that moment .. it’s that your brain stores more memories (like more momentary snapshots, cause you are very aware of what is happening in such moment - in general more tou are aware of world around you, more memories are stored in brain and vice veraa).. then retrospectivelly AFTER this event it looks to you time was slowed down - but that’s just because you have simply more memories from
that event … your brain retrospectively gives you feeling of how much time pssed based on how much memories it have stored for that given time frame..
Check documentary “Brain with David Eagleman” this experiment is described there
such an interesting view and wow moments aplenty beautiful humans thankyou for your contribution to humanity great use of your time
Buddha's expertise is the mind and the nature of reality. It has been and continues to be rigorously debated, analyzed and validated for 2600 years. This is the fundamental training for Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns. The Dalai Lama has been and continues to be in discussions with theoretical physicists. Quantum physics agrees with the Buddha: how we see the world is not how it actually exists. It is important not to lump Buddhism in with the theistic religions. It is something completely different.
Hello.
Thanks for your video.
Explaining exactly what consciousness is is child's play for me.
My answer is not literary or philosophical; It is scientific.
@@justasimpleguy7211
My answer is to fully explain what consciousness is at a scientific level.
@@justasimpleguy7211
While neither the professor in this video nor the scientific world (except me) know exactly what consciousness is, wouldn't it be unfair for me to explain it here, even if briefly?!
Psychic phenomena are hard to duplicate for the same reason the light double slit experiment fails to answer the ( wave or particle ) question.
Psychic phenomena is a multidimensional, multi worlds, phenomena just like the interference pattern of double slit light. If you count all the photons then the interference pattern disappears. If you nail down all the para psychological variables then the phenomena disappears.
Mirrors the dualism of reality. The only way to know everything is to know nothing, so you are accepting of everything.
It's an interesting analogy but double slit experiments yield novel testable predictive models of how it behaves as both wave and particle showing that they're not mutually exclusive categories and that experiment design influences the results. Saying psychic phenomenon go away if you try to study them isn't really analogous if it renders them undetectable. Doesn't it seem problematic to say its unfalsifiable? Even if you thought they were probably real based on anecdotal evidence, it would be self-defeating to assume that no experiment could prove or disprove them.

We have a problem as long as we think of our reality as mechanically deterministic. If we accept that many paths in the past may lead to our current reality then we have a mechanism for parapsychology.
And it is true that time is a dimension of space measured in distance. Seconds are not special time is in meters just like the rest of space.
Determinism vs indeterminism is underdetermined (we don't know which is the case yet as interpretations of quantum mechanics that assume deterministic hidden variables or multiverse Hilbert spaces or some other possible explanations are all equivalent for the time being without a way to rule one out). I'd say its fair to just be agnostic (undecided) on that and I'm not sure why it would matter either way. If virtual particles decay complexly randomly but at totally predictable influenceable rates in Casimir Effect compression experiments, does that mean the universe isn't deterministic and provide a mechanism for parapsychology? If particular decays are random and happen at predictable half-life rates, does it provide a mechanism for para? How does something being random yet predictable in aggregate provide a mechanism for parapsychology? It seems intuitive that any combination of radioactive decays or virtual particle appearances and annihilations could aggregate to indistinguishable outcomes in our reality, but its not clear to me what you mean. @@jillengland3277

You place me ( and I put myself here as well ) in the unenviable position of defending the supernatural. This goes against my faith. I don’t believe in ghosts, other gods, witches. I don’t stay up late reading Alistair Crowley. I don’t believe in that nonsense.
And yet. And yet It Is Real. I don’t understand how. There seems to be to be real evil. And many people who are good. And I am in possession of an impossible improbable living human avatar, and there are millions of similar beings in this city around me.
So the improbable supernatural world does exist. The time slit experiment is real. Just because we can not explain some phenomena with science does not actually make that negative result true. Just because we think you know how something came to be does not mean you really understand it.
Our material world is built on the work of gods we know not. We really do not know what we are and our science is flawed.
There is a supernatural world, and we were created by gods, and there is a world where our consciousness exists after we die.

Maybe I should have not been so dismissive of Alistair Crowly
One thing I wish Physicists would look into is the fact that we all are physical molecules travelling through space at 800km per second (2.8 mil. km/hour). It occurs to me that outer body experiences, intense spiritual experiences that transcend "space and time", meditational experience of the "Unified Field", intuitively to me, at least, seems to mirror exactly the true reality of, literally, flying through space. It is the illusion of "stillness" as some absolute state, thanks to gravity, that throws us. Ironically, it is through stillness, while meditating for example, that one can experience what appear to be "cosmic" experiences, when in fact it seems you are experiencing the truly known state of things. How does the speed we are moving relate to consciousness and does it affect the various states of consciousness we, as a species, seem to have access to?
I am curious about his use of the term "theory." What exactly does he mean by it? What predictions does his theory offer, and if it lacks predictive or descriptive elements, perhaps it should be labeled as a hypothesis..
It’s a theory because it’s a loose collection of ideas, it would be a hypothesis if it were testable, but it will remain untestable for years.
@@egglion7931 you got it the other way around. It starts with hypothesis and progresses into theory if eventually testable. And NO, quantum theory he mentioned is NOT equally hypothetical ( have to check the exact timing he mentioned that) ....
Theory means a model stronger than a hypothesis that accounts for and predicts all evidence in science and withstands falsification (think the theory of gravity, the theory of evolution, and so on) so I'd call what he's saying a conjecture at this point unless I missed something. It's not quite a hypothesis yet if it doesn't make any novel testable predictions or explanations for the data we observe. Skepticism expressed about cognitive science's explanations of consciousness aren't aging well and seem to rely mostly on intuitions and arguments from ignorance. It doesn't help that the people making them are largely not cognitive scientists in the relevant specialized research.
Yes it's a pity he claims these ideas as his own. Thousands of years ago wise thinkers were saying these things and writing them down in the Hindu scriptures.
Theory is as close to the truth as anything can come.
Thanks again 😊
He's a brilliant science, and is an incredible communicator. How dare you not put his name in the title!
And a friend of .....
I know right, was surprised by this, maybe theyre trying to take advantage fo youtubes algorithimns
Brilliant scientist and communicator?? First thing he talks about is the Enfield poltergeist…..says it was studied for a year…..lots of things were recorded…..is then asked what was recorded…..he says pictures which could have been faked 😂😂…..and when pressed for more recorded examples he presented absolutely nothing and instead said there are too many things that happened to list!!! 😂😂😂😂
That’s when I turned it off!!
What was the point of even bringing up the Enfield poltergeist??
I’m guessing this is what he does on every subject!
@@Mosesranthemetresinarcsecondshmm, pretty pretentious, assumptive and lacking in patience.
Immediately jumping to the conclusion that because he didn't want to answer something thoroughly in a couple hour interview that he can't answer it more thoroughly or that there must not be any real examples to provide.
@@joeypchajek or it’s the fact I realised that he had absolutely no evidence to present from the Enfield poltergeist case which would then make the whole subject / case an utterly pointless thing to bring up! Did he present any further evidence about it later in the interview??
My precognitive special powers predict NO!
And if you had evidence to present then why on earth would you not present it when discussing said subject!!!
Please let me know in your reply what I got wrong and how he expanded on the Enfield poltergeist case later in the interview
What a fantastic person, character
1 hr 32 min in. He talks about time and car accidents. I CAN say - with complete confidence- that it IS possible to move one's body fast enough to respond AND address the physical issues as best one can.
....for me, I saw 2 pieces of very small glass shards, tumbling across my field of view.
They left comet trails.
And i moved around a great deal before it was all over.
My be time is yust ilusion of human brain-brain is filter for the colle ctive unconscios like he said!
Magnificent - thank you’
Bernard, You must talk to Donald Hoffman and Bernardo Kastrup
And Tom Campbell
And you do that moderated and interviewed by Curt Jaimungal on his channel. A good companion also might be Joscha Bach and Rupert Spira 😄
would prefer Jeffrey Mishlove as the host / moderator myself@@quatsch3466
This conversation took place in Bernardo's living room, which is what you see in the background. 🙂
He’s already did an interview with Bernardo Kastrup, but I would love to hear him talk with Donald Hoffman and Rupert Spira
absolutely blew mind this I’d never heard of Bernard Carr so didn’t know any of his theories but experienced a lot of his thoughts & feelings during a mushroom experience, I can say he or any other theories out there couldn’t have effected my thoughts as it’s not something I’d thought about before but yet here these thoughts were, I felt I had these things thoughts come to me because I felt I was experiencing a higher awareness
Good ol' Lobsang Rampa. 😊 Read all of his books in my teens. 👍
what was his real name? He's actually a British writer. Cyril Henry Hoskin (8 April 1910 - 25 January 1981)
Why did you block out what he said just before 5:29?
This was an unintentional editing lapse for which we apologize. We will soon be adding subtitles, so people can read what was said.
