Francis Lucille and Donald Hoffman on Physics, Consciousness, and Reality

This video is a conversation between Francis Lucille, a spiritual teacher trained in Physics and Mathematics in France's top schools, and Professor Donald Hoffman, a scientist whose field of research is at the crossroads of Physics and Consciousness.

Francis, thank you for the videos. Your wit is a great addition to the teaching

[@QDoppio]

I’ve listened almost all of Don’s podcasts and this is by far best in terms of the host speaking the same technical language and asking corresponding questions. Great interview!

[@2kt2000]

Don is so gracious with the mic...I wish he had a chance to talk more.

[@multi_misa72]

Had my science and non-dual nerdgasm. This was such fun, thank you people.

[@matrazke]

Thank you!

[@UltimateJoke]

That was fascinating!

[@opus_artisti]

Thank you both!! I know this is not a scientific channel, but, have this doubt.. what was there before Big Bang?? Where did Big bang happened?? Whenever I think of this, I feel like reality/ consciousness was ever present.. before Big Bang itself...

[@AshwinPraveen]

Okay. The theory that takes into account subjective observation is beautiful. I was always puzzled about the double slit experiment until I started to understand what consciousness was lol

[@AshwinPraveen]

Holy crap I just heard Francis thought experiment about this theory. Mind blown 🤯

[@stevenlee9064]

Would the existence of gravity and electromagnetism suggest that materialism should not be the primitive to construct reality ?

[@sandrag8656]

if only all scientisrs had this attitude towards science. For me it seems, that universitys teach students only to learn actual findings as "the truth" and to sell it to us in some way or the other.

[@donharrold5074]

I'm trying to understand what Liberation would like like in the consciousness model.... The basic model assumes decision and action, which only occur in a state of duality. In Nonduality, there cannot be decision and action because there is no longer a sense of doership. Would the Action and Decision matrices revert to identities with Liberation? It seems like TAT TVAM ASI could be formalized as a theorem in this system...Peace & Love :)

[@donharrold5074]

If my Perception matrix is incomplete by not including the Self, then Action and Decision matrices are not identities and TAT = TVAM + e where e is some epsilon. When we think we're a body-mind, epsilon is large and the Action and Decision matrices are far from identity matrices. As we come to Truth and develop a witness attitude in the present, our Perception matrix becomes more complete, now including thoughts and emotions. Epsilon becomes smaller and the Action and Decision matrices are closer to identity mappings as we realize there is no separate doer. At Liberation, all in encompasses in Perception, the Action and Decision matrices are identities and TAT = TVAM, or TAT TVAM ASI.

[@sugarfree1894]

Forgive me but what is the (absolute) certainty by which we know for sure that there is something rather than nothing?

[@FrancisLucille]

This answer is already something!

[@MagdiNonDuality]

The question is already something

[@sugarfree1894]

@@FrancisLucille as far as you/we are able to ascertain. By what means is it ascertained? Is it repeatable? Does it hold true in multiple settings? And if we take the perception, and/or confirmation, of others out of the equation, does it still hold true in an absolute way?

[@ChannelDefault]

​@@sugarfree1894The moment we assert that the concept "nothing" in the absolute sense points to a real meaning, it's already something!

[@elogiud]

@@sugarfree1894, are you Aware of being Aware; that is already some-thing...We know for certain there is something...

[@johannprs]

I'm sorry but Donald seems to me a very dedicated con-artist, like Deepak Chopra, or others... Anyways, Francis is always a breath of fresh air. I would love to see a conversation like this one between Francis and Bernardo Kastrup. That would be lovely, two scientists and philosophers truly informed by Consciousness

[@Gc-we8sy]

Why you say he's a con artist?

[@johnnastrom9400]

You obviously have no clue as to who Donald Hoffman is (or the work he has done) to make such an asinine statement.

[@UltimateJoke]

Definitely he is not. You must be on drug / hallucination to not see such a clarity in him.

[@HenrynHall45]

I suppose you must have got stuck on his decorated permutations but those were the work of his colleague 😉

[@matthewbecker964]

Donald Hoffman a con artist? You can't tell he is sincere? He is not exactly making a fortune with this supposed con. You don't read people very well do you? He is unusually normal and free of false pride. He just thought about stuff and came to his conclusion. He is intelligent, thats probably what threw you.
