Water has memory its made of atoms.

i started following you from the dr IIans video, and it makes me so happy that the people who are talking about these are so passionate I love that this is the unknown and no one talks about it

❤

I can here you lol

Iv never herd so much sense made out of the same mouth.

Atom synchronization.

Earth worms turn poos an wees into plant food, but they can't swim.

AWAKENING to being eternal never grows old .

Amazing video! Thank you!

I needed this reminder this day; as I find myself in the appearing political upheaval in this country. I must acknowledge that all events are cosmic events, which I need to welcome as just waves passing through. The ocean doesn't mind the waves upon the surface, as the ocean remains in welcoming repose.

Pure conjecture

Don Hoffman's theory has interested me because sometime in November I was starting to have my own if I could even call it that because I don't even know if I can call it that cuz I don't know if it's my own but for the sake of trying to explain my own theory That came from the inspiration of seeking Truth to a story and how you go about to get as close to the source as possible of that story and so I had this idea of a source point which would be the collective conscious or universal consciousness and how the vortex of time and space that we are surrounded by and the laws of physics separate consciousness into individual aspects of consciousness which we are as individuals but I also believe that cuz consciousness is trying to understand itself or experience itself in infinite possibilities, those infinite possibilities must be possible within the realm of physics and the law of nature That we as the collective conscious or source point have projected ourselves into to simulate what these experiences would look like and I would consider them points of possibilities. I would theorize that every person is a point of possibility or potential of what the human experience can be which in its true self at its source is infinite. So Hoffman says his theory of consciousness exists outside of the time, space, vortex and laws of physics which would include evolution theory because you can see consciousness as a concept or an idea in some sort of light ethereal space It exists where thought exists in ideas and it's as powerful as I thought and idea in this sense, it allows it to be perfect and unrestricted But because of its perfection I cannot Innocence be put to the test or be perceived. So in a sense it's creating a projection which is the time space vortex that creates laws of physics so that it can perceive itself experience itself. Come on

Congrats on the book guys!

Thanks for uploading! Very interesting interview of Francis. I am glad he mentioned Physicist Bernard D'Espagnat who has said: " What quantum mechanics tells us, I believe, is surprising to say the least. It tells us that the basic components of objects - the particles, electrons, quarks etc. - cannot be thought of as "self-existent". The reality that they, and hence all objects, are components of is merely "empirical reality". This reality is something that, while not a purely mind-made construct as radical idealism would have it, can be but the picture our mind forces us to form of ... Of what ? The only answer I am able to provide is that, underlying this empirical reality is a mysterious, non-conceptualisable "ultimate reality", not embedded in space and (presumably) not in time either."

The sum of the whole is worth more than the sum of its parts ❤

1:28:04 he had me right up until he said this, how can he still question animals, especially one as creative and intelligent as an octopus, ability to be self aware, aware of where there body is relative to space. This is scientific dogma held onto to ease our conscience for how we treat other living things on this planet.

I love his mind. Blessings on sharing heart and soul metaphysical. Human evolution is happening. Thank you for hope. ❤

Great and important guest. Finally it’s a great pleasure to see the great Ken Wilber and is Integral Theory in this channel. Thank you!

well as the top philosopher of science say "science is a faith that future is going to behave like the past" and The Book say "bal Tuhsiroona Al'hayyat Al'duniya (you are under the impression of the life of world)

"A deeper intelligence underneath reality" 🐸 And that psychopath enjoys suffering! 😮

Woke stoicism... this guy!!!

Very interesting thank you!

I love Donald, and i totally understand his argument BUT there's one thing i can't get over, MAYBE because I'm autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, and MOST importantky and I'd LOVE to pick his brain in IRL, i have an OP maternal instinct that he does not so I believe I'm worth a listen ... This *gestures at reality*, IF it's a simulation, it HAS to be spontaneous, like a Boltzmann's brain. We know with the quantum foam, the Universe can create itself. Bc as much as i love Donald and MATH, i cannot for the fucking life of me understanding 25k deaths EVERYDAY from malnutrition, we can't even calculate "exposure" bc they don't track deaths due to "homelessness"(oddly however they can tell you the number one cause of death in homeless pops is overdose... 🤨).... Half, HALF, of children's deaths are to malnutrition. Half. HALF Half. We co-create this reality because we're the nervous system of the Universe. We're all a single consciousness in separate dimensions. The Universe evolves reality BASED ON our perceptions. A feedback loop. And not just us, i believe EVERYTHING, everything is living, even rocks "experiences" reality. I cannot for the life of me perceive UNNECESSARY suffering. I'm not a dualist, the Universe is indifferent to suffering. I believe EVERYTHING is entangled via the single particle that borrowed enough energy fast enough to not only birth reality but INFLATE reality so far (because if we didn't, mass and anti-mass would have cancelled. We need inflation to outrun the speed of causality, otherwise there can be no physical reality. We all know the fine tuned problem,( that's evolution.) Thus we're a single consciousness perceiving physical reality via different dimensions of space time (explains relatively and simultaneity). There's your strings. I believe humans are able to perceive and communicate our perceptions as nothing more than the Universe evolving, the better we communicate the more smoothly evolution will go. The Universe is LAZY AF, it wants to use the LEAST amount of energy possible, it's always systemizing (it's autistic 🙃👌🏻) because it's not "evolution of the fittest, it's evolution of that which does not kill you. The universe is always trying to get smarter and lazier. If it works well enough to replicate it's good enough, which is why we had disEASE. It doesn't care about suffering. The humans however DO CARE, because their the nerves, What I'm getting at is we're going to extinct the species due to unnecessary suffering, we evolved for millennia to be hunter gatherers, we're all fat and lazy (bc the universe dgaf that's on you bro if you decide to martyr yourself). Our physical meatsuits are trying desperately to evolve us to ADAPT to our environment. We created a monopoly/hunger game at the very least 5k years ago (oldest written records which happen to not share knowledge, tell stories, It was taxes, inventory, slaves names, and owners. We created writing to create capitalism. (Exploitation of the weakest among us, bc the universe DGAaf it's got ZERO morals). We're behaving as if we're in competition with one another when that could be the farthest thing from the truth. We're a slime mold, unified in consciousness, with our own special perception tools, no one more better or worse, ALL necessary because the Universe is going to make mistakes, we can never get rid of suffering, THAT'S what drives change. The universe isn't perfect (it literally only exists out of balance, hence 👉🏻 vacuum) Sorry, I'm baked 🍠 atm and an autistic autotelic feral philosopher and im just recording the ride. Humans know better is the point. Philosophers have been saying for centuries, we're living the wet dream of some dude in Asia tripping on moldy bread and thought he was God that he could "OWN" Earth's resources as individual property forcing you to prostrate and prostitute yourself for crumbs and in doing so, by selling yourself out, you're selling out the MOST VULNERABLE among us. Children, the elderly, homeless, disABLED are the sacrificial lambs because we're addicted to CONSUMPTION for DISTRACTION... Distraction from the self inflicted slavery and KNOWLEDGE that you're taking advantage and manipulating others for your personal benefit..... I digress. ( I have a PSI in the 140s with a WM in the 18th percentile (sensory processing disorder/dyslexia). INTJ unable to actually articulate because i don't think or communicate in words. I read and respond to energy thus IF THIS IS A DUMPSTER FIRE TO READ I'M SORRY. I have the frontal lobe of a unicycle and the devil is at the pedals. I DESPERATELY more available RAM but I'm stuck in a toxic environment (feedback loops), disABLED, dependant, with 4 divergent kiddos....i can't help them bc i can't help myself because I'm stuck without resources bc some dickhead is talentless and greedy. That's why I have trouble with Donald's Hypothesis

Geoff once said of martial arts “you cannot transcend something you haven’t mastered”. Would he have been able to forgive the abuser without first knowing that he could physically destroy him? I don’t know the answer. Maybe the physical journey was necessary to reach that point. What does everyone think. I’d love to ask Geoff this question.

He completely misrepresents the neuroscience evidence for psychedelics. The BOLD signal (fMRI) is not spatially and temporally specific enough to determine how brain activity is changed. When higher resolution techniques are used (MEG, e-phys recording) it turns out that (i) yes, the AVERAGE firing rate of most neurons is reduced, (ii) the average rate of a minority of neurons increases (iii) there are abnormal gamma frequency bursts of INCREASED activity involving visual and other areas (iv) the pattern of population activity is abnormal (v) the transmission of signals between brain areas is abnormal. In other words: ABNORMAL activity= ABNORMAL EXPERIENCE. This is evidence FOR the not against the neuronal basis of experience ! What's more ,he completely fails to understand the relationship between neuronal activity and information coding. No, the firing rate in itself does not tell you anything about how much information is being encoded. What matters is the number of distinct patterns that get engaged in one state vs. the other, and to know what we need at the absolute minimum the variance not just the average rate, What's more, he does not understand that the information encoded is not the same as the the information that is needed to describe the system's state transitions. It's easy to see why. In a digital computer IF i only keep track of the ON or OFF state of the flip-lop gates that the two information measures are the same. But if I keep track of the actual voltages at which the gate is in the ON or OFF state I need immensely more information because the voltages vary. But this additional information is not part of what the computer memory contains! Same for the brain. Without knowing what the RELEVANT coding configurations are we cannot say anything about the "amount" of information that the brain represents in a particular state, just how much information is needed to describe the configurations. Not understanding this reveals a striking lack of knowledge about elementary information theory and neuroscience. Finally, what on Earth does that mean the psychedelic experience is "very rich". Rich in what sense ? It may feel like that but how do you know that it is rich specifically because there are "more" experiences happening? Why not rich in the sense that the experiences are more unusual ?. More unusual does not require more information. Also, people on these drugs have such profoundly impaired perceptual judgement that they donl;t even know what is real - they hallucinate. How could you trust that even a specific the self report that "lots of things were happening" were correct ? One of the main impairments is the gross misperception of time. If I can't judge time correctly I will obviously misjudge "how many things" were happening per second or minute which is exactly what I have to know even for this sophomoric pseudo-calculation of "experiential information". Finally, note that there is no conflict between the fMRI results and the direct neurophysiological measurements. it's simply that fMRI is too slow and spatially limited to reveal the relevant details;

It's amazing how this person uses repeated declarative statements for his wild speculations. I guess that's how you sound convincing and get funding.

Pffffff

I follow the philosophy of Vasugupta, Somananda, Utpaladeva, and Abhinavagupta, and I agree with your "conclusions".

words are such tricky, fickle, and in the end, tiny things to me; particularly when trying to use them to encapsulate massive conceptual processes of awareness and emotion. I appreciate your usage and selection of words here. Of late, my wording has shifted from happiness to contentment as my ground state. Pure contentment that requires no upkeep, input, denial, projection, assumption or interpretation. My practice and process of cultivation has refined and may be summed up in these three words. rest as awareness...

Psychiatric medicine is based on lies and driven by greed of those who are falsely considered “experts” in their field. Meanwhile, their patients don’t get any better and arguably become worse- justifying the use of more and more medication!

Great to see Francis! He's the real deal. ❤

Our understanding of nature is fated to never be complete… so a deliberate agent tries (sometimes) to wake us up to this fact - we see a UAP, for example. This is a fascinating idea. In the bigger picture, I struggle with the nature of reality being so distant and strange when it often feels so close and intimate - like all the objects on my desk are really there and fundamental parts of what is real… but according to idealism, there’s a gap in what I sense and what is real. What are my fundamental senses detecting?

Learning about internal parts and how to connect them to the source of healing and love is the most amazing way to thrive in love, life, career and relationships. Thank you for this valuable video and message. 💛

(1) The Creative Change is the only constant in both physics and the Tao Mysterious as what ever was before the Big Bang's sire. This ceaseless chain of moments each in its' own now Unfolds everywhere as everything, all at once, entire Allowing life's furthering potential, impulse or proclivity With energy becoming matter becoming heat becoming light. Such transformations have fierce vigor to manifest activity, Further propagating anything whether grandiose or trite. Clearly each mind gets reshaped in this fluid course of days With awareness joining memory, becoming what one learns. As reasoning's illumination keeps faith with celestial ways Ancient existential atoms pop into freshly revised patterns. Thus the spark and seed of being is ever just becoming. In the dancing whirl and splendor of our universe's thrumming.

This conversation is a priceless gift to us all, though sadly all the self-righteous, bureaucratic, and arrogant types are highly likely to ignore it. I absolutely rejoice in the way Dr McGilchrist understands the experience of living, and feel so comforted by his sharing of his ideas: just what I need to carry me forwards from a hellish time. I wish I could see ways in which his wisdom is being welcomed and promoted in our society - our whole civilisation desperately needs it; but the loud, power-hungry, cruel ways of treating people continue to spread and poison our lives. He is, surely, a wise prophet, but when have prophets been influential? Whatever the divine force may be, please could it come our way to cleanse our broken world - and soon

Philosophy and Psychology are two very different things and thanks Francis for a wonderful explanation for " happiness and beauty". These can not defined by any intelligent words even though each of us has experienced on one or many occasions, though not knowing of it ..

It seems to me that he is pointing to the same thing as the Buddha. Inspiring.

Youre putting me to sleep

the aboriginal people have known this forever, so it isn't new, you caucasian philosophers are just catching ups on them finally!!!

right?

The intersection of epigenetics, consciousness, and reprogramming the mind offers a profound understanding of how biology and awareness interact to shape human potential. Epigenetics reveals that our genes are not fixed determinants of our destiny; rather, they are highly responsive to environmental cues, experiences, and even our thoughts and emotions. This dynamic interplay underscores the possibility of actively influencing our biology through conscious efforts, ultimately transforming both our physical and mental states. At the heart of epigenetics lies the concept that gene expression is regulated by chemical markers and modifications, which act like switches that turn genes on or off. These markers are influenced by external factors such as diet, stress, and environmental exposures, as well as internal factors like beliefs, emotions, and mental focus. This means that our conscious choices and habitual thoughts can directly impact our genetic expression over time, leading to profound changes in our health and behavior. Consciousness plays a pivotal role in this process. As the seat of self-awareness and intentionality, consciousness allows us to observe and direct our thoughts and actions. Negative patterns of thinking-such as chronic stress, fear, or self-doubt-can reinforce harmful epigenetic markers that suppress beneficial gene expression. Conversely, positive mental states, such as gratitude, mindfulness, and optimism, can foster epigenetic changes that promote well-being and resilience. Reprogramming the mind involves leveraging the principles of neuroplasticity and epigenetics to reshape mental and biological patterns. Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to rewire itself based on experiences, aligns closely with epigenetics by providing the neural foundation for new behaviors and thought patterns. Techniques such as mindfulness meditation, affirmations, visualization, and cognitive-behavioral interventions can help replace limiting beliefs and emotional responses with empowering ones. Over time, these practices not only rewire neural pathways but also influence the epigenetic markers that regulate gene expression. This process highlights the deep connection between mental and physical health. For instance, studies have shown that mindfulness practices can reduce stress hormone levels and increase the expression of genes associated with immune function. Similarly, cultivating a sense of purpose and inner peace has been linked to beneficial epigenetic changes that promote longevity and psychological resilience. Ultimately, the integration of epigenetics, consciousness, and mind reprogramming points to the transformative potential of human agency. By becoming conscious of our thoughts and behaviors and intentionally reshaping them, we can influence our biological destiny, transcend inherited limitations, and align our lives with our highest aspirations. This perspective not only bridges science and self-awareness but also empowers individuals to take an active role in their own evolution.

I love the idea how you see our responsibility and its value in fixing situations. It would be nice though, if you didn’t see us being victims and seeing it as unfair. I learned through Stoic philosophy that what happens to us didn’t happen to us but for us. It was chosen for us and there for us to embrace Amor Fati. Love of fate. It will help us grow and learn and be more resilient. Concerning ourselves on what we can control. Certainly not the past nor some external events , but our well thought out deliberate responses. 😊

I'm gonna listen to something 'real' interesting: Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age -by Norman Ohler [full audiobook]

The bio in the description is such nonsense. What does “IQ of 175” prove? I like Ken for his various expansions on Spiral Dynamics but as a philosopher he isn’t very insightful and - for all his books - he is not a recognized as an important thinker in the world of Philosophy in the USA and probably anywhere else in the world. Not saying that the Establishment should be the arbiter of worth but in this case the lack of recognition seems unsurprising and justifiable.

I have been following Hoffman for a decade and I would put my money on his ideas.

I too would like to express thanks for this great conversation. Have watched a few videos on consciousness, and this one does a nice job of making the concept more accessible also on the intellectual level. The analogies Prof. Hoffman makes really make the lightbulb come on. Also appreciate the pointers to current research. Fascinating!

Great talk , great questions in the end ..very very informative, thank you so much 🙏
