Federico Faggin: What is the One Consciousness? Bridging the Gap between Quantum & Classical Reality

[@fedefaggin]

Dr. Tevin Naidu was a wonderful host, and guided our discussion to cover my theories on the fundamental properties of existence, on consciousness, free will and how they are related to quantum physics and classical physics. Of course, given the nature of the "Mind-Body Solution" program we discuss the relationship between consciousness and the body at length. We discuss the limitations of physicalist theories and why computers cannot be conscious. We dive deeply into interiority and meaning, the self knowing of "One", the totality of existence, and our own nature as parts-whole of One. We discuss the extraordinary experiences of consciousness I have had, being the observer and observed, love, joy, peace, information, meaning, purpose, and the implications of my theories on enriching our own existence. We also discuss how, by taking responsibility for our lives, we are led to knowing ourselves, comprehend our interconnectedness, and work cooperatively to face our challenges. It was a great pleasure to have a rich discussion with Tevin on so many topics, and dive deeply and meaningfully into each. I hope that viewers and listeners will find encouragement to continue exploring their own self knowing. Joyful discoveries! - Federico

Hello Federico Faggin, I am from Romania. I also had an out-of-body experience. In my first experience, I had a blue color and I looked like a hologram. In another experience, I had a white color. In both experiences, I felt a vibrating state, and it seemed as if my body was wrapping around me like a tight garment. Additionally, in another experience, I heard a sound like a lost signal, and at that moment, I stretched out through intention and exited my body.

[@Nonconceptuality]

Dear Frederico and Tevin. My 'Theory Of Enlightenment' states that the fundamental process is: "Awareness coming back onto itself." This is the same as "The One wants to know itself." You say that Spirituality needs to be put back into the inquiry and that's exactly what my 'Fundamental Model Of Reality' does. The mind-body problem cannot be resolved utilizing a dualistic model. PLEASE LISTEN! There is and has been, a 'Kobayashi Maru' condition in the English language that has prevented human consciousness from the next natural step in increased Self-Awareness. Given the power that words have on humans, it is necessary for this language to be updated to represent a non-materialistic perspective. I have identified this problem in the language and have adapted it into a TRIUNE system. Where the conventional model is an 'OTHER-THAN' (thing-nothing) dualistic system, my model is an 'OTHER OF' triune system. This triune system is a direct expression of the state of SUPERPOSITION. The state of superposition itself is the unbiased Observer. The state of superposition is expressing both the reality and the illusion. Superposition is the most succinct expression of reality possible. www.nonconceptuality.org/1-fundamental-model-of-reality This shows the 'Kobayashi Maru' condition at the 'thing'-'nothing' level of language: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZuwYnVmp62Has0si=W6H7gw_5HS5dGr_L I see very clearly how, in order for human consciousness to evolve to the next level of Self-Awareness, materialism, and materialists, need to be transcended. Materialists are holding onto the lower-evolutionary sense of self where self is taken to be the physical body. But the collective human consciousness already possesses the intuition that Self is in fact NOT the body and that the realm of the sense is not fundamental reality. Materialism and physics have been concluded since QM arose within our Awareness. There is no way to advance trying to accommodate materialists in the discussion. Nonconceptuality has adapted the language so that humanity can evolve from the body-mind problem to the body-SPIRIT-mind (yang TAO yin, particle OBSERVER wave, son GOD holy ghost, etc...) problem. The problem has been impossible to resolve because there has been a lag between humanity's evolutionary step into a higher level of Self-Awareness, and the necessary evolution in the language required to express the change. The Fundamental Model Of Reality IS this evolution of the language REQUIRED. Guys, I got this. The whole thing. The problem is, and this is the problem more than the argument, that this theory DESTROYS EVERYTHING. It turns out that the final concluding Truth isn't revealing something new that we didn't know, it is revealing everything we have taken to be true, that is actually false. And as it turns out, that's everything. And that's the toughest red pill to swallow. I feel you two guy will be able to SEE what is being presented to you. I invite you to dive head-first into my warm, cozy, and very DEEP rabbit hole. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqqQZa2qlMqViLs This is as real as it gets guys. This is the most important moment in the history of humanity. Yup, it surely is... 🙏🙏🙏

[@workingTchr]

I'll be looking into your work. I had the same experience many years ago. One big "problem" which you may be aware of or maybe avoid, is that _no matter_ how well you describe the experience and/or the inferences you have drawn from it, the experience itself is NOT in the repertoire of most people's experiences. As you know, words are unable to elicit the experience in other people (unless they already had the experience, in which case it's a nice reminder). So you have to wonder, why do people find the idea you're communicating attractive or interesting? You might think it's because they recognize it as you do, but how can that be it? It's something else. Maybe something as mundane as having a bias for a theistic god out there confirmed by someone in an intelligent way. I'm glad you're talking about it, but be wary of people who seem to show their support. What we really need, of course, to do if find some way to give people this experience. Maybe mushrooms are the ticket for that. In any case, I'll be looking into your work. FWIW, I think Penrose had this experience at some point. There has to be just One Universe. It fits too well with the experience.

There’s a hesitancy in writing to you, but I was so struck by the depth and clarity of your presentation here that I’m just going to send this. The reluctance or inability of science to ask the tough question-what lies beneath-has stumped me. But you made it not only clear, but also logical to make the case. Can the question be asked: “What lies beneath the quantum realm?” Eventually, doesn’t the mind hit the unknowable? No need to respond. Just thank you.

[@hydrorix1]

Thanks to you both for the dialogue! Federico offers an interim step for science to take on the way to shedding the notion of physicalism and the distraction of materialism. They're both hard notions to ignore. Until mainstream science, academia, and the public at large accept the notion that Consciousness is all that actually exists and that everything we experience is Perception In Consciousness, and since requiring nothing more, there is nothing more, we will not have access to the type of truly exotic technology we can imagine, but not imagine how to create... Yet.😊

[@drtevinnaidu]

[@ALavin-en1kr]

Consciousness has been called, and perceived as God, and in Eastern religion and philosophy it is the definition of God: Consciousness; Existence; Bliss. We humans share in the first two but until we evolve, we experience not bliss but reality through our five senses and use our cognitive faculties to discriminate between options and to navigate life.

[@Featheredblack]

Its interesting, that moment of transcendance that Federico experienced and interprets as a light of energy emanating from his chest, is what i felt when i became aware of my oneness with all things. Really, the way my objective mind would describe it, is a relinquishment of thought entirely. The peace and oneness felt was a consequence of letting go of the mind itself. Where the mind is constantly labeling, defining, searching, etc. Letting go of that entirely is what brought the sensation of stillness and peace, which is always felt as a oneness with all. The mind through its many labels, segregates you into a perspective of separation, but letting go of this process immediately eliminates that perspective and gives you a sense of connection. This connection is not a learning, like it is when the mind defines things, but a knowing, because it is you.

[@chargersina]

When Fredrico was saying that consciousness needs to know itself, it occurred to me that if every cell knows about the whole, why doesn’t consciousness know about the whole? Why does the universe wants to about itself when it already knows all about itself?

[@andrealongoni9746]

@@chargersina you missed it ONE all that exist wants to know itself Cells in a material body have the live quantic information of the whole body.

[@tubal1]

Something I have asked myself for a time. The best explanation I've found is the Whole has everything inside in a state of balance: light-darkness, love-hate, etc (love and hate ARE the same quality or concept but on the opposite ends of polarity and so on with all qualities or features of the soul-man; it's similar to being the number 0, which contains all numbers in equilibrium: 2 and -2 (=0), 1.235 and -1.235 (=0), etc). It was in an equilibrium before the Big Bang. To experience those qualities, It needs to split them, polarize them and create bodies, beings (interfaces let's say, cells, plants, animals, everything) and these physical material beings are created in such a way that they lose temporarily their connection with the Whole (the amnesia which all beings experience in their rebirths or reincarnations) and, for that reason, believin they are imperfect, unfinished, incomplete parts of the Whole (one person can believe for example he/she is a bad person and not able to love when, actually, he/she is a fractal of the whole so has all Its properties). These beings interact to each other in their physical life experiences, and through those interactions, the Whole gets to experience Itself. Of course, many other questions arise if this was part of the underlying truth.

[@ezza88ster]

Excellent interview...maybe the best I have listened to with Federico Faggin. If you want to get, at least tastes, and maybe more, of the experiences that Federico is talking about, it's not that hard actually...there are established paths. The ones that I know of, and have experienced of (I am not an expert), are the 'Non-Dualist' ('Not-Two') meditative paths of 'Vajrayana-Mahayana Buddhism' and 'Advaita Vedanta' (Hindu origin). Beware, most of the meditation you will find taught is from a more 'Dualist' _'Therevada Buddhism' path (i.e. Mindfulness and Vipassana). These paths do not value the Non-Dual / Not-Two experiences so much, rather they emphasize one-pointedness, concentration-absorption and 'Cessations of mind-body' (i.e. 'Nirvana'); certainly valuable states too. However, I spent 30+ years doing this 'Dualist' meditation, with ultimately a sense of disappointment surfacing. Once I switched to the non-dual paths and traditions, it was like the lights going on and it helps / re-orients me in daily life, including emotions - and a lot more!. If you want to try this path, I always recommend Michael Taft's youtube channel and there are lots of guided meditations there. I regard him as my main teacher now, he's so skilled in guiding. I recommend that you work up to 40 minutes at one sit as this has been reported as a bit of a sweet spot. There is also a Disord Server associated. I personally set up the 'European Sangha Group' meetings on the Server. Everything is free / by dontation. Welcome to the experience of, ' Not-Two!' my friend, you won't regret it.🙂

Thank you so much! I do have some dualists lined up, and Weir is actually on that list. For some reason, many dualists have been the most reluctant to participate. However, I've convinced a few "big players" in the "game." I appreciate you supporting the channel and the kind words!🙏🏽💙

Sadhguru uses meditation unity to achieve a level of consciousness that brings the unity to your subconscious sleep. I do it all the time however, I have had near death experiences also before hand.

[@narendratirumale3101]

Static Quantum Consciousness is the right technical description.

[@francescoangeli1087]

What I usually dislike and disagree with in idealist theories (such as those of Kastrup and Hoffmann) is the way they talk of matter or the physical as illusory. Likewise I disagree with materialists who talk the same way about mind or consciousness (people like Dennett, for example). The "reality is an illusion" refrain is pernicious as much as it is the "consciousness is an illusion" refrain (or variations like "you're just a machine" or "you have no free will"). Faggin's view seems more nuanced and he seems to avoid such language and claims, which is good. I think reducing the physical to the psychic or viceversa is a mistake. I think reductionism is a very useful epistemic method (it's essentially analysis, breaking things down into more fundamental parts to understand them better). However, ontological reductionism is a mistake, I would claim. Its flattening of reality is unnecessarily restrictive and simplistic. Besides, even epistemologically, analysis needs to be married with and complemented by synthesis. I think mind and matter are poles - the yin/yang - of the dynamic and continuous creative process that is reality, which can be seen both monistically and pluralistically, but which is essentially relational. Hen panta einai, as Heraclitus said, with a specular formula that can be read both ways: everything/all things [is/are] the One; the One [is/are] everything/all things. There is no verb in the original Greek quote arrived to us, actually. It's a dynamic relationship rather than a static identity. IMO, at its core, reality is creativity, dynamism, relationality.

My intuition concurs with Federico that computers will never be conscious because they also, will never be alive. However DrTom Campbell in his “My Big TOE” (Theory of Everything) books, stated that he thinks .. as he believes this is a simulated reality following a rule set, that computers may become conscious “it’s possible” . Would be great if you could chair a discussion between both to bring out common ground and differences. Tom has also had out of body experiences and has, I’m sure you know, a different take on how everything fits together. I was surprised Tom labelled himself an atheist .. which is a belief … or was he just emphasising that whatever God or the wider “consciousness system” is it can’t be pinned down to a concept .. which makes sense to me?

Dr Naidu, is it correct to say, therefore, that free will, collapse of the wave function, requires a time/space dimension? In other words, is there possibility of free will decisions when consciousness is detached from the body either because of death or because of an NDE or simple dreaming; all states when consciousness is in a complete or quasi-complete quantum state?

All hitherto search for knowledge has always been to describe the cruel system that EXISTS (Classical physics as laws of nature determined future , evolution as survival of the fittest in the struggle for life , price mechanism with competition, etc.). But what he attempts to describe is the system we SHOULD attempt to achieve. Yet he doesn't realize it cannot be achieved by assuming it to EXIST, which is implied in his assumption of ONE attempting to "know itself"~ this is his hope, a very good one, but unjustifiably fatalistic, because NATURE in itself, just like the GOD of conventional religions, would never bring about a positive end on its own. What he attempts is only possible, if, and only if, we ourselves design the path in spite of THE ONE attempting to destroy our attempts.

The Hardest Problem of Consciousness We often hear of the hard problem of consciousness. Why is there qualia or experience of anything in the first place? I would submit there is an even harder and more important question - why do I seem to be a specific individual experiencing a specific subset of qualia? If material reductionism is to be relevant to the big questions, then it must explain not how brains generate consciousness but how the specific brain in my head could create the specific consciousness I seem to be looking out of the eyeballs of this specific body. Why do I PERSONALLY EXIST as an individual in the first place? Out of the infinite matter in the universe how is it that only the three pounds in my head could create me? What is different about that three pounds for this to occur? Consider that billions of bodies showed up before this one. Billions showed up after this one. None of them seem to have created my existence. This body could be running around without it being ME just like these billions of others All bodies are made of the same elements. All brains have the same basic anatomy. If all brains are basically the same and are creating consciousness, then there should only be ONE consciousness looking out of every set of eyeballs simultaneously. A hopelessly superimposed existence from every possible viewpoint at once. I’m sure that materialists would claim that no, no, brains are so complex they are all different. Ok, so what would have to be recreated in another brain for me to exist looking out of another set of eyeballs? When the ontologies purporting to explain consciousness are examined critically it becomes obvious that all materialist/reductionist strategies fail completely in attempting to address the individuality question. What is the principled explanation for why: A brain over here would generate my specific consciousness and a brain over there would generate your specific consciousness. Integrated information over here would generate my specific consciousness and integrated information over there would generate your specific consciousness? Global workspace over here would generate my specific consciousness and global workspace there would generate your specific consciousness? Orchestrated quantum collapse in microtubules over here would generate my specific consciousness and orchestrated quantum collapse in microtubules over there would generate your specific consciousness? A clump of conscious atoms over here (panpsychicism) would generate my specific consciousness and a clump of conscious atoms over there would generate your specific consciousness? If an exact copy of my body was suddenly created in Antarctica, would I find myself to exist freezing there while also sitting in the comfort my living room? According to the physicalists that would have to be true or their argument collapses into incoherence. Materialism already fails since it cannot find a transfer function between microvolt level sparks in the brain and any experience or qualia. In addition, it’s not possible for materialistic ontologies to address this question of individuality since no measurement can be made that could verify my consciousness vs your consciousness and therefore no materialist ontology could make any coherent statements about the subject. How could pure awareness even be individualized? Physicalists demand measurements but with consciousness there is nothing to measure. There is electricity in the brain they say. We’ll measure that. Is electricity consciousness? If so, then once I again I should exist everywhere at once since electricity cannot be individualized. My blender uses electricity. Is it a genius? Unless materialists can answer these questions their premise collapses like the house of cards it is. As far as other ways of thought are concerned only Dualism and Idealism can account for our sense of individuality. Dualism assumes we are all individual spirits/souls matched up to a body through some undefined process. Idealism, which states that consciousness is primary also answers the question of why I seem to exist as an individual. One consciousness exists looking out of every set of eyeballs and in the process the illusion of individuality is created in each case. In actual reality I am you, you are me, we are one.

In The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (by Douglas Adams), it was said that the earth was designed as a supercomputer to work out the "meaning of life the universe and everything". And just before earth gets destroyed (for intergalactic capitalistic reasons - building of a super-highway) someone has a sudden epiphany..... and the answer is ....... 42 HE WAS RIGHT!* If we look deeply into our deepest longing, it is to know "the meaning of life the universe and everything". Life the universe and everything is the result of the urge of the infinity of conscious space (God) to know itself. Because when we know that we exist, the most important question that arises is "what am I and what is existence?" That's the condition of the omnipotent infinite space. It wants to know itself. We are how it gets to do that ✨💖 *Judaism: In Kabbalistic tradition, 42 is associated with the creation of the universe and the "Forty-Two Lettered Name" of God. Additionally, the Torah scroll is traditionally written with no fewer than 42 lines per column.

This is NOT difficult to understand.... unless you want to keep trying to change something that you will never be able to change.... because.... you can NOT accept the TRUTH of the held in place governing laws that you can NOT go beyond.... which means.... you can argue this point for millions of years ... and ... in the end ... you will STILL.... have to accept the outcome results that were shown long ago.... but because.... you refuse to ACCEPT the TRUTH.... you have found yourself in a very stoooopid argument that will STILL show the same outcome that was known before!🤣

That's what they told Einstein.

Now that you've proven that you are more intelligent than the entire universe, can you please explain how the brain produces consciousness?

A thinker who is not very used to say "i don't know", is not a good thinker !

This guy sounds just like a Hindu monk talking about philosophy 😂😂😂 whatever he's saying is closer to what hindus have been saying for more than thousands of years. Yoga and Meditation are the key tools to understand the truth of Oneness.

So mind is like VAE 🤪

Probably he does not understand it all

Federico is talking stupidities. "Electron" is not elementary at all. Everything is made of something. Even a state, a field, etc is made of something. A computer, a machine, a robot, etc can have tastes and opinions exactly like a person. A taste, an opinion , a subjective opinion, etc are all real processes that are recorded, coded as "something", understood and expressed by any brain structure, either natural or artificial. A taste, an opinion, a conscious thought, etc are all real processes expressed as conventions of the recorded material comparisons. Etc. Consciousness is a precise macro process, a real macro functional. Once you create this real functional in a computer ( through the regular and also through very specific hardware and software ), consciousness is present right away. The rest of Frederico is just useless verbosity, sorry.

Sufism in a nutshell...

This is mostly just gnosticism.
