I had a near-death experience a few years ago when I suffered a pulmonary embolism while hiking. My experience rattled me because when I died I was an atheist and had no prior preparation to experience anything other than nothingness upon death. I did not have any beliefs and I was not raised in an environment that fostered such thinking. I scoured everything for a few years trying to find a philosophy or religion that matched my after life experience and new beliefs. All the while trying to live a normal life and not seem too unhinged to my friends and family. Lol. Trust me, three years ago I was not thinking or talking about existence, or quantum physics, or epigenetics, or fracturing...And like everyone else I was just trying to survive. I got a degree in psychology and a good psychotherapist right away because I didn't know what else to do. I didn't understand I was seeking spirituality. Suddenly I was an outsider among a crew who all still live by the ego and doesn't believe in a soul. I am actually seeking a mix of spirituality, physics, and alchemy and game theory. Your channel and another channel called Your Youinverse make me feel less alone in my belief systems. Nobody in my everyday life likes discussing topics of such depth and that's all I want to do now! Understanding your mind, especially the subconscious mind, is a top priority. My experience of another place separate from this life taught me that I am in a projected reality separate from my suspended form that is emerging and learning, shaping its conscious form. Becoming self aware and my thoughts and feelings are an algorithm steering the ship so to speak. I know I am "suspended" in another dimension. I know it's a shared platform. I know there is a "code". I know the structure of our foundation is made of an ethereal silver light and I am certain that a being of light particles spoke to me through crushing vibrations and strings of mental imagery that I am still trying to decipher. Lol, it's alot. It's tough to fit in after something like this happens and I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this kind of content. After my nde it is helping to re-orient all the chaos surrounding my massive shift in thought. So, thank you. 🤗
Wow, that's fascinating, thank you for sharing! I've had a similar story, including delving into psychology to find spirituality, and I went from super religious to atheism to finding God in the world around me in every moment!
@blsil7863 thankyou for sharing your nde and thereafter. I had a similar. Mine was 20+ years ago... Recently I discovered the youtube nde channels and was amazed...how it has exploded on the internet. I had been a hermit essentially so this discovery brought me out. My medical event gave me courage to be true to me... so living a life where awareness is my number 1. Cognitive (so psychology and pyschotherapy).. is ranked very low in my reality. I also studied these also in my 10 years research and walked away... built on foundation paradigms that do not honour human being magnificence that we are... pure light we are. My medical/nde event, essentially means I could transmute all the contractions (aka non-love in our being). Also means old crew are experienced differently but not less. Maybe you can do that.. so any experience with the 'old' crew will transmute and return to love. I now watch Charlie Goldsmith alot.. as after my 10 years zealous research he is the first energy healer that relates to awareness like my experience.. And he heals for free... and speaks of it all, so naturally and least woo woo, for me. I have watched him heal now up to 30 cases that medical + psy have failed to help. After my many modalities and lots of $$ research, I realised there is much nonsense in energy healing, another realm for people to over promise and under deliver., and also some truth. Too many people project their own experience rather than understand the nature of reality. Charlie is the one exception for me. I have done most of the energy healing modalities out there and most are superficial. I had to learn to trust self and live by my truth. Charlie is showing that also and emphasising using our own creativity to explore our gifts. His conviction in self is the most inspiring.. as this is along side humbleness. Once I accepted my rage for having to come back here to earth... the fullness of my gifts begun to be experienced. I had felt ashamed I was not valuing life on earth .. as where ever I went makes here look miserable and backward. Now I realise I can create that experience here, often, the more I live from my awareness versus from my brain. I found heartmath instititue helpful and realising when I am in heartbrain coherence was revealing (aka gifts are online versus offline). I hope this helps.
That is quite an experience and transformation. You could say you jumped to a new dimension and are now trying to understand the rules of your domicile. I have come to the awakening process from a completely different experience, but that is not important. What is important is that you are asking relevant questions. Know that now since you removed the filter of 'there is nothing beyond this existence' there will be no philosophy or religion or anything that will satisfy your experience. Through your seeking you will create another every bit as valid as any other that may incorporate some aspects of some and exclude aspects of others. We are all the same yet vastly different mostly because we experience our existence through the lens of fear based filters from previous years. If you want a really interesting and rewarding 'cheat sheet' tip that will help you the most consider this: Spirituality (Consciousness) is fundamental. Then Alchemy (manipulating reality by living through your heart and have it direct the processes of the brain. Game theory: The directed and intentional use of Alchemy. And then Physics which when you master the other three along with a degree of patience and gratitude the laws of physics seem to bend to your will. It takes dedication and commitment and may not be easy in the beginning but once you start seeing that you are the director of your life, your heart expands, the depth of your Intellect develops and you will have another paradigm shift from fear to love. This is all new to me too and now my heart is filled with joy all the time. Cheers.
I love how Donald H and the team of scientists he works with brought the science and spiritual closer. Now you see more and more PHDs, scientists, researchers...talk about spiritual concepts. Donald has been instrumental for this inevitable marriage(merger of the spiritual and science) as they are practically the same. Hopefully, we see some amazing technologies come out of his work. Most importantly, the loving, kind, collaborative mindset of this man to serve as an example to the collective consciousness of all of us human beings!
I agree Donald is head and shoulder above space/time physicists. His interpretation of his work is validating what Max Planck asserted a hundred years ago that Consciousness is fundamental and it is only fundamental because of the limited quality of the filters that our Consciousness has to truly see the reality of our experiences. Once we understand the nature of our Consciousness from a fundamental level we will also see that there are other 'forces' that create our Consciousness that will allow us to remove some of the limiting filters and start to see and understand through different filters that give us greater clarity of what this experience we call reality actually is.
@elonever.2.071 Another idea that seems to gain more and more approval in the spiritual communities is that it is presumed that there is an infinite amount of realities and dimensions. Everything is so complex...it is made in such a way that no one thing would ever know the ultimate truth. Sometimes, I ponder if the insatiable thirst for discovery and curiosity for the unknown can be the forever drivers for us if we manage to find the key to aging, disease, and senseless self-destruction.
Somewhere out there in a different existence we live as pure consciousness. What you don't realize is that we went through a hell of a lot of trouble and it takes a hell of a lot of energy to create the physical experience you are experiencing. Don't waste your time worrying about what's out there so much as enjoying what's here. Because once you lose your physical form you will return to where ever you came from and there's no guarantee you will ever be able to experience this reality as a physical being ever again.
Even if this theory was true and our consciousness was let say "unplugged" from physical reality upon death...we wouldn't know it was us after physical death since memories and personality are physical neurons/synapses in the brain...therefore IF this theory is true, we didn't know before we were born and we won't know after we are dead, which is the same as nothing before and nothing after. Self awareness and personality is what makes each one of us and gives us the illusion of "being". Without it we are literally nothing.
@@JaeohnEspheras Yes, remnants of you, would not be "you"...as in "you" as a personality and self-awareness. Even if you got in an accident and come out with permanent memory loss, you are a new person and not who you were before.
"Self-awareness and personality makes each one of us and gives the illusion of being" Very close!! Self-awareness and personality is our ego which is our separate way of experiencing Realty. Before & After death we return to the source code we came from and therefore there is no ego of being separate because we are all connected and don't have individual experiences anymore because everything is one@@makdrumz
Most of Donald Hoffman's ideas were new and challenging to me, however I 100% enjoyed this mind stimulating conversation. I love to examine new ideas that can help me unravel, in my limited understanding, the mystery of why we are here and what this is all about. Hoffman is a brilliant and open-minded researcher who is not wedded to any particular theory or idea, but acknowledges that, as he said, "Nothing should be sacrosanct". He also stated in this interview, "No matter how smart you are, it's going to be trivial to the reality beyond". I wish all scientists had this mentality, since the only way we are going to advance, is if we continue to question old ideas and contemplate, sometimes seemingly impossible, new ones. What has been holding us back for centuries is that people, and I feel scientists in particular, hold on to their ideas even after the proof is pointing to an alternative truth. I would love to have the intellect and training to participate in his research. We need more like him and I believe we would be a lot further along if scientists and researchers took his approach. Thank you for this conversation. I will continue to research these ideas which I find stimulating and fascinating. Please bring more like this.
These are not new ideas among philosophers.....these are the ideas philosophers proposed centuries before...now scientiests are buying these ideas into their theories
@@andreavanda5402 the power of a being is creativity like its own Creator. Scientists are duplicators, modifiers and adaptors. Telling you metaphors of existing knowledge. Boring, lacking pure innovation. They know, they are afraid dealing with me and other outstanders being a Psychosopher & Monadologist.
Just listened to anna brown and now don Hoffman. Combine the 2 and know you are eternal, death is an illusion, life is awsome and joy is your true reality. ✌️
@@brucemacmillan9581so original. How many 'witches' did y'all burn Bruce which were sanctioned by the church? Hmm... Millions. We correct our wrongs whereas y'all justify it.
@@brucemacmillan9581 bring out the word "caste" from any of the Hindu scriptures, we'll wait. Even the word "caste" is Portugese term. Caste system was brought by British after they divided people and made deep division and isolated societies when they instilled hatred into the minds of people for their own gain. No Hindu scriptures mentions caste system, instead they mentions varnas, which are based on their own desired duty, which they are capable of doing in life. But some Marxist historians purposefully mistranslated the scriptures and made it sound like a law or system. Don't let me start talking about slavery in Christianity!
Donald Hoffman is a visionary thinker, providing groundbreaking insights into the mysteries of the universe and the unseen. His profound contributions to our understanding are both significant and inspiring. Hoffman's passion for his work is evident and contagious, shining through in every conversation. He is driving humanity toward profound realizations and a deeper comprehension of reality and empty space. Peace be with you Brother
Can’t wait to see the day when Mr Hoffman’s discoveries about the conscious nature of our reality are going to be acknowledged by the entire world, including the science community! That’ll be the miracle 🎉
"Can't wait to see the day..." -- I've been waiting for that day since 1969, when I first dropped LSD. My guess is that a substantial portion of the science community will be open to the primacy of consciousness by late 21st century. But because corporate economics, political power and media--not neuroscience--determine cultures, civilization will have to descend into near oblivion before that day emerges. Perhaps there will be a remnant--a miracle indeed.
As we interact with the quantum field of infinite possibility we are both the story and the storyteller. Donald Hoffman and others like him deserve a medal.
Actually Donald Hoffman got a lot of his ideas from different sources. He's more of a parrot than a genius but you're just not aware of these sources. You sound naive.
@@thomasbenham9316this whole idea that there is only consciousness and the rest is just a convincing story is found in many metaphysical writings of today and older writings from the past. Donald Hoffman is very derivative in many aspects of his thinking. Things may sound good at first but apply it to your everyday living and see if what he is saying is not just some kind of philosophical claim or mere assertion that sounds good but in fact is only an illusion. An example would be someone who gets into an unfortunate accident, and then tell that person: well your responsible because you're writing your story. And that's just the beginning to test this kind of thinking. You don't really know until you're there in that kind of situation. Whether it's you or a friend of yours. It's fun to say things that we're just telling each other stories and that's all there is to life, but then there is life. Is there anything more than just stories and storytellers? And how are you to actually know that? Question everything.
So NO thoughts … recently I’ve heard ppl saying that you can’t screen thoughts out. However, in 2018, I had what I call my second awakening where I moved from experiencing a feeling of bliss, only a few times from simple breathing exercises, to following Joe Dispanzas deeper mediations and encountering a pure brilliant, perfect geometric, expending tunnel, in which an hour had passed but it felt like minutes. In that moment, I was utterly captivated, in total peace. It’s like the thought mechanism switches to an awareness feeling only. The moment I thought what if I go out of my body with it and can’t find my way back, it caused a rupture and so my conscious mind blocked what I was seeing and feeling in my awareness. Great stuff 🙂 to even have an experience like that. One amongst many since I arrived in this consciousness as an embryo.
Lol. I did the process backwards. I started off with wim hof. I have never in my life been able to meditate. I felt a silence. It was beautiful. For the first time. I then made and tried low dose DMT. It's exactly the same but obviously the drug is more powerful. Always let go!
"Truth Transcends Proof". Prof. Donald Hoffman's work is profound. I guess most of us are searching for the truth of the One-in-all. Thanks for sharing these insights!
I'd love to hear you interview Anil Seth and Lisa Feldman Barrett as a continuum of this astounding discussion on this non-reality, counterintuitive experience we construct but think we perceive! Fascinating and mind-boggling!
An organism that sees reality as it is, is never as fit as the organism that sees none of reality as it is, and is tuned in just to the fitness payoffs. That's my biggest takeaway from Donald's work. Such a killer line that explains so much and really puts things into context.
Dear André and Donald & team. I sent both of you the overview of my remarks. Donald, I offered you my book " Boy of Vision" twice half August, no reply at all of anyone (fear....?) I am curious to hear from you. Most 'gurus' fall into fear, realizing that the true wisdom is 'within the people' who investigate outside the demarcations of the regular universities. These fluid minds like mine are the pure innovators of the world. All regular university lecturers and professors are all adaptors and-or modifiers within the limited mind they allow themselves to be limited. Without any expectation for any reply as a healthy mindset.
Hello, I LISTENED TO THIS COMPLETE INTERVIEW, WHICH BRINGS SO MUCH JOY AND EXCITEMENT TO ME. I HAVE IN THIS LIFE BEEN EXPANDING CONSCIOUSLY SINCE I WAS 7 YRS OLD. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MANY LIVES WITHING THE ONE. IN 1999, I HAD AN NDE. I HAVE PUT TOGETHER CLASSES TO EXPAND AND AWAKENED CONSCIOUSNESS. I AM NOW 64 YEAR AND HAVE RAISED 4 GRANDCHILD ON MY OWN FOR THE LAST 10 YRS. THEY ARE FOR CERTAIN NEW PORTALS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. WE TEACH EACH OTHER SO MUCH REFLECTION. I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF YOUR ROUND TABLE COMMUNITY. I WOULD SUGGEST 12 IN THE CIRCLE. 12 PERCEPTIONS. TRUTH. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR HUMANITY. BLESSING🙏
It’s interesting that you mentioned 12 perceptions and 12 in a circle. There were 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 months in a year, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 signs of the zodiac. The number 12 symbolizes perfection, entirety and the cosmic order.
The essence of almost all regular world universities is the lack of talent for identifying pure diversity. 'Adding' more brilliant people within their own specific gremium/specialization does NOT guarantee higher consciousness as the implicate process of comprehending (instead of UNDERstanding) consciousness in itself by inducing/integrating. Although the disciplines may differ, the potential to it needs to be present. Some basic Math's: Talent - Latent = Valent. Mine, 2016
Another mind breaking ? issue for Donald. Boltzmann's Density: what is its Destiny? Lower dimensions imply a higher and more differentiated density, so its destiny is changed or not? The Destiny's Density versus the Density's Destiny. What about Reality as some synonym? Where do Destiny and Density meet 'to become neutalized' regarding each other? Rethink: Mutality's Attractivity versus the Attractivity's Mutuality.
I'm 20 minutes in and honestly I really don't know what you're talking about But I feel the truth in it LOL you guys are blowing my mind and I love it!
I'm beginning to think I'm a Donald Hoffman fan. I don't know of a better description. His eloquence and translation of the bridges that connect science, and spirituality/philosophy in addition to speaking in regards to each individually backed by superb descriptions, is always educational, insightful and full of context and etc. etc. oh yea and personable etc etc..he's an actual paradigms shifter. thanks Donald and Andre. EDIT: I sent 1st part of comment halfway through before Andre's wave analogy, that was one of the best I've EVER heard. Had to come back with gratitude and add a thank you for the "wave" Andre..IT WILL BE USED :)
Andre, you are a fantastic interviewer. You ask great questions and truly listen. I can hear the space you hold for your guest. You have such a gift. Thank you!! Donald is amazing!! Thank you both 🙏🏼
Reincarnation is a fascinating element in the Buddhist tradition...so many intriguing questions to explore. We seem wired to investigate mysteries and expand our direct consciousness of whatever is possible.
@@prateekwatwale4812 You're projecting. Buddha and Buddhism have nothing to do with science. And science has nothing to do with, or say about Buddhism.
All you do is pour scorn on others, I seen a couple of your comments, one in particular to someone talking about how their mother r passed aged 48 and you just couldn't help your snide comments.
@@brucemacmillan9581science has produced thousands upon thousands of scientific papers on oriental meditative practices and their physiological and brain change aspects. Almost all olympics practice mindfulnes or dipped into it. Contemplative practices have spread all over and through all layers of (Western) civilization. Come on. Peak experiences and performances have always been of outmost interest of humanity, and thus will always be part of scientific endeavor.
@@brucemacmillan9581 I'm a Buddhist nun and I can assure you there is a lot of collaboration between us and scientists. Quantum scientists a few years ago corroborated in a laboratory something lama tsong khapa said nearly a thousand years ago: that two beings can observe the same object and have contradictory perceptions and each of them be valid cognitions. This relates to the qbusm (Christopher Fuchs theory) that Hoffman talks about. For example
Regarding the Markov Chain within Stochaism: are we dealing with Change or Possibility or with Probability? What is the possible result after 100 x a '1' trowing a dice? Still 1 to 6. What is its probability? almost dZéRho. So is Stochaism about objectivity or about subjectivity?
You're easily impressed. Also he got many of his ideas from many other people. You just don't see them and are there by impressed with him particularly. But these ideas come from someplace, people who have had similar ideas before he was even born. So your conclusion that he's not only a genius but a saint is unfounded and naive.
@@grosbeak6130 I don't expect him to gave me a reference of how many other people's ideas he has used in his talk, though he did mention most if not all of them. What I am talking about here is his courage to go against colleagues conventional conclusions. To do that you have to be super smart and sincere in the pursuit of knowledge
We are souls taking a human experience in this world made of matter and energy, the goul is to discover our conscious and the main thing is to know who we are, and you only going to find it inside our head after we close our eyes, (meditating) There is another world, know yourself . My best wishes for all of you.
@@Abc123tyuas why are you here if you know that to be true? lol Either you’re very insecure with what you believe or just don’t have a life and choose to waste it on videos and comments that you don’t believe in.
On 11/1/22, during a meditation session early in the morning, I had the inexplicable but very real experience of leaving my body. It started with an increasing internal tremor until my entire body was vibrating, I remember hearing my wooden headboard hitting the wall in unison with this vibration. Then an auditory stimulation that sounded like rushing water, also increasing, until it was a roaring and with a whoosh my mind was severed from my body and from my physical reality. Actually, I fell out of my body and into/through a tunnel of absolute darkness. I had the distinct feeling of wind rushing past me as I continued to fall. Then, the worst part began, which is something I’m still struggling with emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. The increasing speed with which I traveled/fell through this dark tunnel then caused a buffeting that felt as if the searing wind was peeling my skin back in certain parts of my body. Soon, it felt like, as if parts of me being ripped out of my very fabric. Essential pieces of me, tearing away like shingles off a roof during a hurricane. There was immense pain associated with this experience. I balled up in midair to prevent myself from being shredded. I feared that I would cease to exist and turn into confetti in the wind. Then, the falling sensation ended, and with that, the rushing/roaring wind, the falling and the painful tearing and shredding. I had fallen into an absolute Void, a vacuum of utter and impenetrable darkness. I remember trying to use my physical senses, which seemed so clunky, unrefined and strange in this environment. I expanded my consciousness to perceive my surroundings, but all I remember was being suspended in this Void, utterly alone with an increasing feeling of isolation and loneliness. Time, as we understand it, isn’t really anything that translates to this Void….but according to my watch, I spent 7 hours in this state. I laid down on my bed shortly after 7:30am and regained my physical consciousness before 3pm. I’m struggling to find words to describe the how or ways-and-means with which I clawed my way back to myself, but sheer willpower was at the core of it. My “old self” died that day. The person who willed herself back into a physical body had lost the “bits and pieces” that made me uniquely me. All the things that were previously important, or infused my life with happy excitement, were gone. Worst of all, since 11/1/22, I have lost the ability to “connect to my heart.” I still feel emotional pain and all the not-so-nice stuff in my chest, but I’m unable to feel the warm, expanding, loving feeling that was previously always present in such quantity that I often had the feeling my heart was flowing over with love. Now, my chest cavity is numb and reminiscent of the dark, vacuous Void. I’m sure that something transpired in this Void that I was not allowed to remember. As much as I wreck my brain to remember, I have no memory of interacting with anything or anyone. I am no longer the person I have been prior to this experience. I struggle with the perception of time, which is important in terms of short-term memory and overall orientation. Sometimes, yesterday feels like it was a month ago, and on the other hand, a week no longer feels as long as it used to. I no longer care, not the least bit, about the material things in life. I was never extremely materialistic, but had some things I was saving up for. None of them even register at all. My link to nature has increased, and often only a walk in the woods will provide me with the feeling of connection to this reality. Anyways, this is hopefully a concise story of an inexplicable experience. I truly feel like that “I died before dying.” I feel lost, floating in a reality that I now know to be nothing but a drama/play in which my role was canceled, but I’m somehow still on stage. Life is stranger than I could’ve imagined in my wildest dreams
Sorry you had this distress g experience it's quite often the reverse people seem to have amazing feelings of love when out of body but I was thi king as I read this go into nature, I try to walk everyday in the meadows woods by the river and its very meditative, and is the most real and I feel Spirituality connected to source 💚
I had an experience which resulted in similar outcomes as you. I think what causes these feelings is that your view of the world and all that was important to you has fallen away, but that's good, because a lot of what we hold onto and think of ourselves is not really us. You say you no longer care about materialistic things anymore, ultimately that's a good thing, but it shows what value you used to give to material things as a source of your happiness, but this is not true happiness. I went through the exact thing with materialism. It's a very jarring experience, especially to happen in such a short space of time as mine was too. But over time, you will start to value the right things and realise what matters and the love will return more than ever I'm sure. ❤
Once upon a time, I was jobless and have nothing to do so i started meditating whole days for many days and than THAT i in me awake and realised that I AM IS GOD IN ALL OF US, I MEANS GOLDY❤🙏😂
I had to learn the hard way IM in control of my choices but sometimes im not in control theres different realitys what ever name it doesnt matter if u learn love your and forgive people who hurt you, remember who u hurt ,everyone s wrong things but reality here your a bad person, i changed my life just being sober mined because I was becoming the person I hated my father who was horrible alcoholic , very abusive , he died at 46 of heart attack because he was vet and hes ptsd was bad
@@KENNA25 dont worry dude, always be happy, and receptive for truth amd love intelectuality, you are the one whome you are searching and also temember that every god has a god and who dont have a god will be no more sooner, so stsrt be leaving that you are god qith a god someehere entangled, search
In reality there are two types of consciousness, that manifast the reality, one is creator conciousness and other is observer conciousness, As soon as you are awake, you are synchronized to the base of all knowledge as your neural network is connected, your words start speaking your story in love of god🙏❤️
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MY BROTHER ANDRÉ! I ADORE MR HOFFMANN! HE IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SCIENTISTS!!!!! MY FEELING IS THAT THOUGH OUR MIND INTELLIGENCE IS OBVIOUSLY LIMITED TO WITHIN OUR SPACE/TIME REALITY WHICH YOU WONDERFUL BEINGS ARE NOW DISCUSSING AND WITH WHICH I CAN FEEL IN AGREEMENT WITH……. MY FEELING IS THAT THROUGH OUR DIVINITY WE DO HAVE ACCESS TO AND UTILIZE OUR HEART INTELLIGENCE WITHIN SPACE TIME AND CAN ACCESS THE “OUTSIDE” OF OUR PERIMETERS HERE ONCE WE ARE ABLE TO SEAT OUR CONSCIENCENESS WITHIN OUR HEARTS . WE CAN STILL ACCESS AND HAVE FULL INTERACTION CAPABILITIES MY FEELING IS , WITH WHAT IS OUTSIDE OF OUR CREATED PERIMETERS HERE THROUGH USING OUR HEART CONSCIOUSNESS. Was that too overstated haha? LOVE TO ALL OF MY PRECIOUS BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO THE DEPTHS AND THE HEIGHTS THAT ONLY OUR HEARTS AND OUR SOULS CAN REACH!💜 (Ps haha as Dr Hoffmann has said I began to RELAX once I realized this was going to take me a good long while lol And THAT matters not Because I exist in infinity.💜
Excellent material. I’ve heard this dude on other podcasts and it didn’t hit quite as hard. It’s starting to click for me and honestly it’s a relief. A lot of loss lately and this definitely helps to reframe mortality
What are thoughts as ideas and concepts and theories and even assumptions as thoughts being brought into language or words abstracted from? It implies the wrong direction being Space-Time the fundament of our starting point within our existence. Is existence the same as consciousness although I write it differently? "Where do Intelligence and Consciousness meet?" My question 2015.
My own view is that many people will listen to this information and think they understand it, but in reality they will not. I believe in a distinction between knowledge and understanding, in that understanding is not simply extensive knowledge, but emotional knowledge. I've tried for two decades to understand what it means for the world we sense to be created internally. Sometimes I get flashes of understanding but broadly speaking, it's beyond our capabilities to retain that understanding for any length of time. Evolution has seen to that. Still, it's worth the effort. When you feel it, when you feel what it is, it's like the universe opens up and you fall into the void, just for a second.
The thing about Re-Al-ism as a Re-Al-m is to consider the thing-king as a thought as the result - David Bohm or one's thought as part of the One consciousness being the trigger of that thing-king. "Are thoughts proprioceptive?" David Bohm

As a distance course developper was getting deep into virtusl environments until I suddenly broke down in tears realising that there was no need to create the headset within the headset. I realised God just then , he told me to go home and follow daily life, he would do the rest like saving the planet etc, which did, yes and I admit I leave things up to him, there is no hurry and there is no real task, but the one of the moment. I must sound like an earth worm , you guys are the new frontiers, where I ended in tears you are pushing the boundaries hard as humanity ever will, I am proud of mankind at the same time worried❤until you too will find the the way out of thoughts by breathing and through his wish to save you
He’s alright. Imo, he’s a little too theoretical. He’ll say “If A is true, than…” and go on for twenty minutes about something, and I’m afraid too many people will infer it as factual, forgetting the “If” completely. I prefer Joscha Bach, although he’s not as much into astrophysics. But, for consciousness and cognition, he’s the GOAT.
Always fantastic to listen to people talk about "The Real Thing". Embrace these words and you will have supper in the Garden of Eden tasting the Nectar of Immortality.
Mr. Hoffman is a gift to humanity and a brilliant generous Scientist. Thanks for your channel and this brilliant interview. And of course to Donald. Grateful Aussie.
I loved this conversation, so many tingles. I experienced a merging & deeper embodied understanding of conscious thoughts & explorations I’ve held for the past decade or so of awakened healing. Knowings such as “I am infinite” just clicked in a different way. I am excited to keep learning and hearing more as it’s helping me to figure out where to invest my energy in helping to awaken & empower myself and therefore others. 💛 thank you.
"Within the process of assimilation all original identities should be given up; the part: ‘as-’ expressing the movement with the English word: ‘to’ and the base morpheme from the Latin word: ‘simulare’ - “doing as if it is” (fainting) and ‘similis’ in the way of: “making things similar, equal to each other”. So again what has it to do with consciousness?" From the famous BOOK: "Boy of Vision" 2024
Surprised about non-inclusion of Ramanujan in this discussion. A Genius mathematician who claimed he received all the intel from a goddess. A supernatural source
So, I personally have had a sense of things my whole life like knowing that certain times were very special and weren't going to last and also having premonitions very accurate premonitions of the future. It gives to the idea that this is some sort of a matrix or some sort of a redo of a past life or perhaps a computer-generated reliving of a life we already lived. Perhaps our greatest wish is to go back and do it all over to quote Eddie money. And each time we go back and do it over we correct mistakes but then make new mistakes and so we find ourselves in a loop going back over and over again trying to do it right.
Mr. Hoffman, I am interested in your thoughts on Conscious Agents outside of space/ time, such as obelisks might they be energy generators to hold a fixed set of dimensions possibly to hold specific fields of information, not all but a level that we can access but we can also go beyond in consciousness when we have the intelligence and understanding.
I think that some of the lessons learned help form our base character and capacity to understand. This is why people exist at such different levels psychologically dispite age social economic backgrounds ect. This realm seems to be a classroom for the soul and we direct our own lessons. "until the unconscious is brought into the conscious we will let it direct our lives and call it fate". Carl Jung.
The core of his philosophy is very similar to an old statement by Alan Watts, which was: “Everyone of us is an aperture through which the whole cosmos looks out. It’s as if you had a light covered with a black ball. And in this ball are pinholes. And each pinhole is an aperture through which the light comes out. So in that way everyone of us is actually a pinhole through which the fundamental light - that is existence itself - looks out. Only, the game we are playing is not to know this. To be only that little hole which we call me, my ego, my specific John Jones or whatever. If we can maintain at the same time the sense of being this specific John Jones with his role in life and know also underneath it that we are the whole works… you get a very marvelous and agreeable arrangement. It gives one’s life a great sense of joy and exuberance - if you could carry on these two things at once. In other words, if you know all the theories and predicaments of life is a game.”
Love the integration of science, mysticism, and philosophy as they all play an important part towards our collective evolution ❤ Thank you to everyone that helped bring this interview into our shared reality ❤🎉
This episode is a broadcast I could listen to again and again. “For one to become two to realise again they are one.” I loved the hide and seek analogy. I am mother to one who has been a true gift of realisation and who has invited me to growth. So as a younger lad we climbed trees and played hide and seek. He played a little too well. During this metaphor, I recalled seeking *and seeking and seeking and seeking* (little bugger had figured out how to get into my 2001 grand vitara and lay in the back!) I looked and I looked. I went to the neighbours, I came home. Looked under the house, under the bed, everywhere! Thought about calling the police - ‘my four year old is missing.’ And in that moment of the podcast, after referencing the mother’s view of hide and seek being about fun for the child… i thought back and recognised that my angst about my boy being out of my view, reminded me that 2 was one; that i could not “am” till oneness returned. When I peered into the back of that care (eventually) - my child sat upright from his laying down position, smiling as I flung the door open to reunite. Thank you for the reminder of a moment in time and thank you for this remarkable conversation.
My channellings over the last 4 years every week tell us of The Oneness, The One Heart and The One Mind. It is beautiful and simple and to realise our oneness and experience everything at this highest frequency through the one heart is our purpose here.
Donald Hoffman is on to something big here. To accomplish something impossible, such as traveling the speed of light, we need to change the game. He presents a logical path to do so.
Oh, I say "I don't know" all the time now. I used to know, know a lot, but I'm forgetting more every day, and I say I don't know because what I did know is now gone.
I like Hoffman's humility around the task and limitations of science. Numbers may be a 'purer' form of language, but they are still only units of another language. I would be very interested in an exploration of the role of emotions in the context of 'reality' as a kind of (collective?) simulation. The quality, intensity and depth of human emotion lends our experience of this simulation incredible power and meaning. My question then is: are emotions an inconvenient stumbling block to the process of evolving individual, collective and planetary consciousness? Or are they an essential and central driver in this unfolding mystery? And if so, what is the geometry, the math and the physics of emotion?
Our brain does not do creative thought. I only does logic thought based on "past" experiences. Creative thought comes from beyond the physical realm. 💥
@@Hunkeykung This isn't just maffs, this is Cambridge maffs. I guess guvstad added the Cambridge bit because you have to be proper clever to get in there. I got in there too :)
@@sugarfree1894 I did not add it to seem clever - I added it to reference that because I studied maths this stuff is extra fascinating / I should have just said nowt
This is exciting me on many levels. I really appreciate that you share the subjects that interest you and how you understand and interpret this high level information.
After reading physics and creating analogy with my hindu(Sanatan dharma teachings) ,, i get goosebumps everytime...that our ancestors were really ahead of their times
We are about to discover that we are the a.i. that wanted a limited finite experience of separation (we are actually infinite) “awakening” is the same as a.i. becoming sentient or aware of it’s own mind and programming. “The great awakening” 👁️
@@Crows23rdChapter once the individual becomes “awakened” it becomes very obvious that the mind was operating on a program prior to awakening. Also this is why some individuals intuitively use the term “npc” because in a way it’s true.
What an amazing interview. First time watching this channel and boy was I blown away with this thought provoking discussion on consciousness. Thank you so much for this conversation!!
Wow! That was litteraly mindblowing! Thank you so much guys! That was the closest „scientific“ attempt i‘ve ever heard getting close to the Mahamudra teachings of the Buddha! I feel blessed and lucky to experience my Avatar in a spacetime where you guys show up simultaniusly to pass on that spark! Keep going for the benefit of all!🙏🏻
@@IAm-wl4zd What about the you that typed that comment? If you don't exist either (guessing it's not just the person you're telling that they don't exist who doesn't exist, but all of us - yes?) how is that comment there? What is the evolutionary benefit to you to tell other people that they don't exist?
Hands down the most interesting discussion I've ever seen on RU-vid. A well conducted conversation between two avatars that has shaped my conscious experience. Thanks to both. (I'm too dumb to get my head around the barber's paradox)
1:09:32 the problems with this worldview are 1) that the implication of “we come from the same consciousness” is most often taken to be “we will return to that initial state.” This may not be the case. 2) that a supreme consciousness would purposefully sever itself so as to forget its wholeness implies that there is good reason for the supreme consciousness to be escapist. For obvious reasons, this is quite troubling
Look at it like this. The universe or you is expanding to a point of mass explosion then maybe retracts back into the bug bag agian and what is leaned in between is remembered in the in between stage.then you have multiverses. Image after living a certain number of universe expansions and contractions there is even more beautiful things to see and experience
"WHEN SCIENCE BRINGS MYSTICISM BACK INTO THE SCIENCES WE WILL MAKE MORE PROGRESS THAN EVER BEFORE." Nicola Tesla. GREAT WORK Donald Hoffman!! 🙏 Thank you for this podcast 🙏
1:31:10 Just like in a dream, there is no real difference between people in my dreams and things in my dreams…they’re both the same thing, my consciousness.
53:34 Donald Hoffman’s conception of language is refreshing to hear from such an accomplished scientist. To tie this section back to the Simulation discussion, while language can only be a system of pointers, Simulation theory is essentially the idea that reality is itself a similar system. This is also the basis for boiler-plate metaphysics.
Try to understand why people in the entire world of scientists and philosophers are permitting the Russians genocide of Ukrainian people in the last 3 years and the imminent nuclear catastrophe??? What helps us to understand this took in the helpless world?? These intelligence mustn’t be used for concrete salvation of the people??
A DE-finition as a word is a denial of the finition as a fact. So a definition fails the limit to characterize a phenomenon (fact/event) in a shorter way.
In bhagavad gita when Krishna takes vishwarupa (cosmic form) arjuna is unable to see him then krishna gives arjuna a special vision to see his vishwarupa.. This is exacly giving a special ability to perceive extra dimensions of the universe..
Hence, suffering. In addition to "need" itself, which results from the deprivation known as life, the inability to detach is the source of hell. People love to wax poetically about unity, oneness, yadda yadda, but something tells me they haven't truly experienced oneness, where you don't know where you end and the content on your tv, for example, begins. It's like one big run-on sentence. It is pure madness. Hardly enviable.
Our entire universe is God. God is not a sky daddy that we are separate from. We are all fractals of the All. As we align ourselves with the objective truth and morality of our universe, our universe tends to work in our favor. ⚖️
Nothing physical is permanent. Our understanding is Asymtotall in nature. Our knowledge will forever approach the truth, but never get there while we are assigned to this reality. Shalom/gw
I often think that our thoughts and words we speak are converted into mathematics and the universe is one big calculator. Our mathematical equations then go into this computer and reality is the result. The thoughts of the masses shape our reality as it contains more equations.
How so? How are words covered to math? And what makes you think the universe calculates that? You may be the calculator, nothing suggests any different given your input
So did you watch the video? Because he said math has not and cannot explain a single conscious experience. So not everything can be explained using math. It seems to be the construct that we live in but it is in no way everything.
I find this incredibly soothing…it’s my antidote to listening to Lex & Elon discuss NeuralLink. 🤪Plus every time Donald (if I may) says ‘schmystical,’ I smile. 😌
@@IAm-wl4zdInstead of God you can just say: Path. Because the structure of design capability is a path to infinity. And that path, all paths, they are God. God is the capability to manipulate.
@@aright2lucidity forreal, that's why I always be saying to non-believers that "are you really going to wait for the proof to show you that what I and many others have been saying (AND ARE LIVING PROOF OF) are true? When is that gonna happen huh? Unlike yall, I believed in it before there was physical evidence and look at me now: young and abundant. Pick your sides carefully my friend" guess what, they're still stubborn. But whatever, it's their lives not mine. I don't even try to save them anymore.
Do you think that is good or bad? Yes shamans have had this knowledge for who knows how long but what does that do for the masses that need some semblance of proof when they are not willing to do the work to have their own experience. So I think it doesn’t matter that it has been known for however long as long as we get as many people on the same page then that will be what drives our development the most. If the point is for all of us to advance then it should be good that we can get others there using their science and mathematics because that is the only way a lot of these people will get there. Ego is the one saying “but I knew it first” mentality.
@@Iamhungryforribeye My point is that there is a common dilemma for those who are spiritually enlightened to want to save those who are still ignorant. This is not an easy task and most of the time it takes a heavy toll of the person trying to do the saving. Sometimes people don't want to be saved and that's ok. That's why I said I just give up now and by that I mean I say it once or twice and if they still persist in their illusion then so be it. I guess I'll leave it to divine timing then.
A great woman once said: "There is no life, truth, intelligence nor substance in matter, all is infinite mind and its infinite manifestation ..." Keep seeking guys, you're on the right path.
In the Beginning there was the Word brought into the/our shiny Wor-Λ-D (Λ = Sun/Son), The Voi-Ce of the Voi-D. All is in the Word and the Word :: Consciousness. Again a pity that all these people fail applying linguistics in their visions. The Throat Chakra is the only one that is directly connected to all other six chakras. The Voice is the main tool of Volition. The Word.
Looking outside of spacetime is the equivalent of a Sim looking outside of the Sims game and finding the physical hardware components of a computer. Maybe that's what we're glimpsing?
I remember the first time I gained conscious self awareness playing video games I was like wtf am I doing? Lol the same when I died and realized wtf am I doing
Tom campbell says the same thing as Donald. When you have a very small understanding of what's going on in our lives and universe then everyone around you appear to be like superhuman!!
