Is consciousness something that exists outside of the Mind?

Hello fellow Mu I get my name from a friend who calls us uneducated about the truth of our world he calls us fruit bats and muppets ❤️ One love ❤️

[@Catherine-NYC]

I watched Sig. Faggin’s conversation with Bernardo Kastrup last night and ordered his new book this morning. But, actually, this compilation felt like a better introductory material between the two. Impressed with the young interviewer!

[@joebiz4824]

I come at this with no real educated background. A layman through and through. He's confirming what I've been writing down over the past 5 years. When I turned 60 for reasons I cannot know, I began to write. Essays describing this whole realm of consciousness, the experiential and the knowing element. And redefining what we think of as Free Will within consciousness. Up to this point, I had no drive to write about anything, let alone something as esoteric as this. Which I could have not even the awareness of as I had no OBE or anything drug-induced. It just came to me and I wrote it down.

[@cvan7681]

It's happening to more and more people every day. While I can't tell you why, I can tell you that The Universe at it's smallest level, far below The Planck Scale, is an Intelligent Conscious Field. IT created Us in order to Know Itself. We literally think our reality into existence in this field. We are part of the Field and always within it. Don't stop writing, I'd love to read it....

[@bonsense7004]

Interesting. But why calling yourself a layman. There are many with a high degree who know just their dogmatic sciences and are so indoctrinated that they can't think out of the box anymore or are stuck by their financiers that they only are allowed to confirm the narrative that suits the sponsors. Today's science is as a fortress, even more a prison where a conscious mind couldn't survive. Knowing that elites want to compete and win from the creative force in the origin of all and nothing, they copycat anything in their reverse constructing of the existence. That's why they created AI, CERN but all they do starts from a selfish point and will be destructive for themselves because they can not incorporate the good side and this world this earth is based on duality in which we had to learn to develop the conscient good side. We, humans, have got the choice to do good, to be good to each others and thus to ourselves in the full knowledge that we also can chose for the bad but that should be the possibility of destroying everything we've received from the beginning. That is why I am confident that today's most ugly greed & arrogance from the 1% is doomed to annihilate itself. They planned the collapse of society and that will return to themselves, even we will be facing many difficult years with lessons for all of us that are necessary to learn us who we really are. We've got already many lessons in the past, but we, the people had not yet seen the forces that direct our reality. Now we do. That means a big responsibility for humanity, something we've always let to others to decide, the politics, the science...

So impressed with Federico. I got his book Silicon last year, and learned a ton from it, both about chip design practices and his amazing insights into consciousness. True hero of our time, he could be swanning around enjoying his millions but instead has dedicated himself to higher consciousness.

[@lucianmaximus4741]

Federico is the Bomb. He's exposing the prevailing paradigm that leaves so much to be desired. He's the coolest of the awaked ones -- the ones that have seen the true light of consciousness.

[@justasimpleguy7211]

The prevailing paradigm is just fine for describing relative reality (Maya). Science is firmly embedded within the "illusion". One can realize the Absolute and still acknowledge the relative. A dream cannot be said to be unreal because it appears, yet cannot be said to be real because it's destroyed by knowledge (i.e. Awakening). It's like becoming lucid within a dream. The dream's illusion of reality is destroyed.

[@lucianmaximus4741]

@@justasimpleguy7211 Thanks for Your feedback. Your argument is sound and reasonable. Ultimately, it's about how much 'Mind RAM' we have to handle all the apps. If not enough or too many apps, systems (biological, silicon, etc.) freeze. If the System as a Whole freezes, it will consequently NOT pass the great filter. Whether we have or have NOT passed through this hypothetical filter already is a serious concern for simulation proponents such as Nick Bostrom and other 'deep' Thinkers.

Interesting comment, and for me poses the question of what constitutes belief. Seems that the word suffers from a more general problem of meaning attributed to any word. The certainty of the usual refutation does not cut it for me.

[@hook-x6f]

If reality manifests itself only through observation and it is not there unless or until you interact with it, then it seems that this must be a representation like a computer screen or a TV screen or a hologram. Those things all represent reality but are not the primary source.

[@AugustusOmega]

that consciousness cannot be known from without, that consciousness is a function of privacy that can only be known to itself. That the body operates top down like a drone and consciousness can and does exist beyond the existence of the body, in this I find fascination, in fact my consciousness exploded a sentient vision of afterlife without any fanfare as I read about this, the veil lifted for me momentarily and now its gone and I feel like a dumb block of wood of sentience in comparison! I am usually not that good at picturing or imagining...something is up here.

[@ConsciousnessRC]

amazing to see a scientist and engineer talk with such insight and passion about the Truth of consciousness! he is certainly enlightened. he understands much better than most so-called 'spiritual' teachers. such a pleasure to hear him speak so insightfully about ontology, meaning and consciousness. he is speaking the same Truths as the Vedānta.

right on. At one point Federico even said "I am that" which is significant to me, because of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj's spiritual classic of the same name.

[@AscendingSpirals]

20:20 Dear Federico, First of all, thank you for your wonderful work and everything you are doing in order to promote the importance of a global shift of paradigm. So profoundly needed in today’s world and society. Thank you for spreading the knowledge to such an high extent in the scientific community, the public and the political world. Thank you, from the heart. Like the peak experience of Love you went through, in that precise day, that made you (com)participating of the understanding of a picture much bigger than what your (our) usual comprehension is. That vibrational wisdom, like Fire in your chest emanating through all your bodies (physical, mental, emotional, etc.), able to shift profoundly, radically and forever the significance of the Whole. Your whole. The awareness of you as not separated, in joy, peace and great love, as you described it, the one that allowed you to instantaneously “download” at all levels (macro to microscopic & beyond) the higher vibrations of Love that withstand reality in all dimensions. Consciousness, as you call it. Awareness & Realization, as some other call it too. The Advaita Vedanta, the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali and several other in the Western world like Plato or Plotino, put a name on what you went through. Using the Sanskrit word “Savikalpa Samadhi”, or what Yogananda would have called “Christ’s Consciousness”, they (the Wises) would have said that you, your person and your actions, are driven today by such an experience. Patanjali speaks also about the knowledge through “direct experience” (or better, through vibrational alignment with the so called object wanted to be known, until identity is made). Giving huge credit to the reasoning method of understanding and creating knowledge, but considering it limited, compared to the above mentioned way of comprehension (experiential, we could say, but in a non-dualistic way). The Vedanta, in the form of the Advaita, with Śankara, in the VIII century was able to go a step forward from the so called “Savikalpa Samadhi” state. Śankara described the obtainment of “Nirvakalpa Samadhi” = “Unity with Oneness”, to the point that all the rational conceptualizations cease to exist (no observer separated from the observation, any longer). When that happens, we understand why Plato talked the way he talked about the ultimate reality. We understand why the creation is what it is. And the concept of omniscience doesn’t infringe any longer with self awareness and free will. My relative understanding of Truth says, that It/He/She/They doesn’t need to create the physical experience/existence. It just do it because It/He/She/They can. And the existence of everything is happening out of pure love. That is, the emanation/vibration of all forms, at all levels. And the beauty is that opposites are just paradoxically included. Anyway, it is easier to cover those aspects live. So, I wish we’ll have the opportunity to clarify this in person. E a dire il vero, sono sicuro che ne avremo l’opportunità, presto. Stiamo a vedere. By the way, there was an Italian man, few years ago, able to put together the path that bring to Oneness. Like other before him. His name was Raphael. Your father, Giuseppe, had the opportunity to meet him and also published a book about Plotino, through his publishing house. Edizioni Aśram Vidya. I strongly recommend Śankara’s Vivekacudamami with Raphael comments. So, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, also commented by him. I wish you Federico and all the video spectators and readers of this comment, all the best. I wish you guys Peace. A profound One. Śanti. Jody

[@sscalercourtney5486]

In college and much of my life I wondered about an existence in afterlife, or not. I worried about free will, or not. I wondered if consciousness. I took two philosophy elective courses to study the issue. And read a lot after college. Then one day I realized it doesn't matter for me. When I die much will be answered. As to the rest of it. It doesn't really matter if we know and understand or not. So I quit worrying about it. If nothing exist after I die, then that will be as much an answer and if something exist.

Excellent, FUNDAMENTAL, and edifying reflections from the guest and questions/connections from the interviewer. Bravo!

[@infoarmed3085]

The question about mysticism and science taking different paths to reach the same destination is worthy of more discussion than what was given during the interview. It is an observation that many of us have made in our youth and are delighted to discover that great minds have also considered. The onions in the dish on the shelf behind Federico cannot be there by accident. 😁

[@franzrichter4852]

All this was known in the Veda and Vedic literature. It was probably also known by Plato in his secret teachings, it was certainly known in the neo-platonic prologue of the 4th gospel by St. John: "In the beginning was the logos and the logos was with God and God was the logos." What was described there was not only information (or better knowledge - in India called Veda) but the whole interplay of the knower, the known, and process of knowing, in the gospel depicted by the metaphor of the (quantum-mechanical?) Father and the Son (who enters space-time) plus the spirit (consciousness, i.e. the computer). Note that in interprocess-communication you also have parent and child processes and in object-oriented programming you have inheritance of classes.) Another strange sentence in the gospel of John (challenging all the intellectuals of all times) was "Before Abraham was - I AM". In the Vedic tradition of India one of the final cognitions of enlightenment is "Veda aham" ("Knowledge I am"), and Aham Brahmasmi ("I am wholeness"). I don't know whether the theoretical physicist of Oxfort, David Tong also is enlightened, but he said a few years ago in a beautiful lecture available on YT on the question what we are made of: "Atoms are a lie, we are the field". So not information is fundamental but the holy TRINITY of the sender, receiver, and flow of information. My Indian master Maharishi called it "Self-interacting wholeness". This involves symmetry and broken symmetry - for the game does only work when there is something that the other does not know and yet both are on the same wave length and understand each other. (By the way every equation has both symmetry and broken symmetry, so also mathematics comes from self-interaction.) This leads to the conclusion that space-time is only a kind of a monitor (like the flat-time monitor in front of me). And behind this there would be, let's say in the quantum vacuum, the holy trinity of - processor (creating change and thus bringing forth time) - memory (creating dimensions and objects in them) and - programs / processes bringing about inter-process-communication Another brief revival of this knowledge of trinity happened around 1300 by a German mystic called Meister Eckhard. However, he disappeared in Avignon when he was trying to present his findings to the exiled Pope. I give you here my translation of a poem ascribed to him. Note that he hints at a possible measurement theory as he mentions the senses, and (cosmic) senses you need for measurement. He also indicates that we cannot know "IT" (unless we ARE IT as Vedic teachers tell us: "Thou art THAT") Anonymous poet Trinity Song IN dem begin, Where you commence, hoch über sin High above sense, was ie das wort. The Word is stored, o richer hort, Abundant hoard, do ie begin begin gebar. Where origin gives birth to origin. (self-interaction) O vater brust, O Father‘s breast us der mit lust From which with zest (joy) das wort ie floz: The Word outpours doch hat diu schoz And yet the source (womb, vaccuum?) das wort behalten, Has always kept the Word within. das ist war.

He has assumed suicide, or he has taken refuge in a monastery because he was worried about the negative consequences of atomic energy. Legend has it that during his life as a monk, he built a "machine" capable of obtaining energy from the void, transforming and destroying matter, but this machine was later destroyed because it was too dangerous for humanity.

Everyone does and its not a higher concioucness not from my materialistic perspective im open for evidance and changing my stance assuming I have the right stance on what evidance IS however for now this is my position snd under this stance, the experience that the mind creats the world is compatible with a materialist view. Odds are the reality hehehe is probably not materialism idealism nor pansychism it might be neither of those Even physicalism yet that doesnt EXCLUDE the posibility that it might be the composites of all of the above minus pansychism all rolled up into a materialist frame that in itself does not produce concioucness yet produces the substrate for its emergance, but that assumes that something emerges at one threshold and not another which could be random why thats not understood so were not sure it emergance is tru but thats assuming that it seems random because we dont understand the variables for that. So we dont know no one alive does yet what this guy sais is worth considering in how it slots into a physicalist frame I dont see idealism or physicalism nor materialism as a descrete frame that explains concioucness, odds are in the future we will probably use a composite framework that does not exclude material physic or idealism since non by themselves explain how something like this arises. We gotta keep an open mind

Even in democracy individuals are not equal.

[@shotgunjohnny]

More complex organisms 'receive' different levels of consciousness, even between humans. Also it seems the universe doesn't always work perfectly, some - like certain sociopaths & psychopaths - don't receive any consciousness at all. Once in a while an honest one admits that they're 'empty' and merely mirroring the world around them.

Congratulations excellent interview. You let people talk while others interrupt too often. Overall best interview of Faggin I have heard so far. Could you please interview Federico again with Bernardo Kastrup please? To my knowledge no one has done that yet and those two minds together, in a long session, could unlock more wonderful insights. For example did I hear correctly when Federico said that one day ( after we die?) we might be immersed in a new ‘reality’ in order, maybe, to solve some issues we had not yet solved while in this ‘reality’. Thank you to any one that could clarify what Federico Faggin was hinting at.

Thanks for this interview. திருமந்திரம் says consoiusness can't be explained. The song is. 2944 முகத்திற் கண்கொண்டு காண்கின்ற மூடர்காள் அகத்திற் கண்கொண்டு காண்பதே ஆனந்தம் மகட்குத் தாய்தன் மணாளனோடு ஆடிய சுகத்தைச் சொல்லென்றால் சொல்லுமாறு எங்ஙனே. Meaning of this song is no one can share or copy the sexual experience of husband and wife. Specially a mother to her daughter. Still you can get your own experience by opening the. (துரியம்) agna point during meditation process ( needs many years to open) ..

I’ve had the feeling of my body vibrating when I was a child. It was something that I could not forget , and I’ve forgotten a lot my childhood due to trauma. That feeling he was talking about happened to me on more than one occasion. When it was happening to me it felt odd, I could understand what was happening to me and couldn’t talk to anyone about it.

[@sampoornamkannan]

Good topic. If space and time represent and activate the event bar on your monitor, a mode of consciousness represents the downloading bar. It is always ahead. It is not as if it grows with the growth of others but is like a Ram supporting the quickness of the down load. This equivalent of Ram is actually the supreme intelligence in transcendence downsizing itself to facilitate the events to happen in its arena. Intelligence being a mere tool of Consciousness facilitates such activities, not on ones local level of observed events but beyond on the cosmos level of events. It can accommodate any growth, there is no limitation to its capacities, it is Really infinite.

Even reasoning is with frame of consciousness.When you sleep,reason is off,and consciousness is still on,so consciousness is primary.

[@stevecooper3010]

As a side note to this conversation. It may be worth concidering that we are a like a radio receiver, our body and mind to be at the right vibration and frequency to be open to the wisdom, or enlighting knowledge which is in the ether which opens up our experience to divine knowledge.

Interesting but what does that teenager do here (at 2:10)?

[@hydrorix1]

Well done, young Jedi. Distilled down, there is only Consciousness. Axiomatically there is Perception In Consciousness. Matter is Perception In Consciousness, which is how "matter is derivative from Consciousness," as Max Planck said. Bernardo Kastrup and Faggin would be great together!

[@Achrononmaster]

@19:40 huh! First place I think Federico misses the point. The idea of platonic conceptions of mathematics is not that we can know the truth about mathematical reality, but that if you have any consistent formal system all the theorems _of that system_ in some abstract (platonic) sense already exist. Just not in any concrete form you can point at or write down (if they contain any axiom of infinity). In other words, as Gödel perhaps would have said, platonism is simply true by definition. The thing maybe Federico is perhaps touching upon but not quite nailing, is that for anything as powerful as Peano arithmetic we cannot prove the axioms are consistent without an endless regress (into ever more expanded axiom schemes). But that's also "just" logic. It is not platonic mysticism by any stretch.

[@philippevermeiren7081]

[@sarah_jane9131]

My husband pointed out to me that social survival of the fittest is somewhat different than biological survival of the fittest. One question I have is, in your opinion, at which point did the kink (falling asleep and dreaming of separation from our Source) occur? A.C.i.M. says the Sons of God remembered not to laugh (at the preposterous idea of separation really occurring for more than a fraction of a second, and then being already over). It seems that the Sons of God existed prior to the human being, and maybe even the physical world. Nevertheless, we each have our own homework/innerwork cut out for us.

When I climbed off my agnostic fence to take part in prayer for a sick loved one I experienced love not as a power coming from above to us as passive receivers but as a magnetic current between "God" and our hearts , definitely a 2-way phenomenon

[@kaiven2429]

He is more than accurate! He is logical also. "My" experience was exactly the same in 1980 when I was 40. I began writing...I'm trying to write my memoir which will validate everything he alludes to. He speaks the Truth of all there is, the physical body came AFTER Consciousness. The miracle of our bodies come from IT, the Spirit of Nature' which brought everything else into physical form. IT wanted to see itself or recognize itSelf somehow. When you experience Love you are experiencing the formless Essence of YOU....what your truly actually are.....Love/Life/Nature which created it all, or somehow allowed Life to happen and evolve as it has.

[@REDPUMPERNICKEL]

Consider that you are entirely a product of your genes and the culture which created your conscious self and in which you are embedded.

So exciting to hear these insights. Music to my ears. I have thought for a long time that consciousness is the basic stuff of the universe. A question I've askedmyself since a child: how do the particles know how to behave?

@@anthonyjourneymusic This isn't helpful. I directed you to look for a soul and find one because that's how you come to see the true nature of things: by actually looking. By failing to look, you're the one keeping yourself in the delusions of your mind. Just look at reality as it is. I find no soul when I just look.

Reinhold Messner, the most accomplished mountaineer of all time, who summited all 8000 meter peaks without oxygen (a feat thought impossible) echoed the sentiments of Federico's first few seconds of this video. It was never about conquering peaks, it was an inner journey of self discovery and learning who he was.

[@steveflorida8699]

To know one's self, then one needs to know the source of Life. Wherein, is the Why and purpose of Life. Then the new goals reveals there peaks.

[@bender8100]

Great analogy.... Anyway it puts our "neocortex brain" in a state of rational confrontation, the information tends to mean "ok I don't find my mountain, I must go out". I searched my mountain everywhere.... And it wasn't, for me, in a particular place. I found people like Faggin that showed me their way. I met Faggin the last year, it was amazing. It was November. On a train, here in Italy and I was coming back from the bar. He was walking and I recognized him. WOOOWWWW! I told him I knew everything about him. Saw his videos, read his book "silicio"... And he talked to me like a friend. Gave me a personal advice.... A great person

[@darrylschultz9395]

You could do an inner journey of self discovery and learning who you are by practising things at home, couldn't ya? Not much good if your practice is as dangerous as climbing all the 8000 metre high mountains without oxygen, when there's a good chance that doing that will mean it won't be long before you're not around to experience whatever benefits you hope it'll provide 🤔
