The Living Universe - Documentary about Consciousness and Reality | Waking Cosmos 

Hey guys, I hope you find this interesting. Let me know what you think and let's have a conversation. If you'd like to support my work, please visit my Patreon page here ~ www.patreon.com/wakingcosmos

It’s always interesting when you realize that the universe isn’t a location; it’s NOT a place we live. It’s EVERYTHING. Therefore it is also, quite literally, us. Then it gets weird, because you realize things like love and hate aren’t human emotions, they are the UNIVERSE’S emotions...literally “laws of science” built into the fabric of space/time. 🙂

The universe isn’t only alive, it’s reading this message.

I believe that looking inside the brain to try to find consciousness is like looking inside a radio trying to find the DJ

I can't express how happy I am to find this. This is a concept I've felt strongly about and it felt like everyone just thought I was crazy. This is what I feel is true.

A conscious being cannot be the product of an unconscious universe - Alan Watts

"(The UNIVERSAL MIND). MEN DO NOT INVENT OR CREATE IDEAS; THE IDEAS EXIST AND MEN ARE ABLE TO GRASP THEM" PARACESUS

Was expecting pseudo scientific babble, but found a very well put together thought inducing video that was grounded in science, but not afraid to explore new ideas.

This video changed my life because before this I was depressed as fuck now I'm happy that am everything that exists.

This is one of those videos I search and search for daily and only get lucky enough to find once or twice a year. A video that clarifies your perspective and validates the preconceived notions you’ve always had but could not fully explain. Inspiring, transcending and paradigm shifting. Also the kind of video that makes me realize how ignorant and disorganized I am in comparison to the creators of videos like these. Thanks a lot. I feel compelled to spread this message but also fully aware that most people don’t care enough about cosmological issues and deeper views of existential possibilities.

I am 69, and have watched a lot of videos and read plenty of books...this is the most profound video I have ever watched, subject and treatment, thank you so very much!

Our minds haven't evolved enough for us to comprehend what's really going on

Funny, how i already believed in this theory when i was 16 years old (now 46) Nothing is bigest, nothing smallest, everything is conected to eachother, even multiverses.

Such a breath of fresh air. People are waking up! Thank you for this beautifully done piece.

My mom died about 7 months ago. I keep watching these videos so I can understand. I never will, no fully,and I can accept that but thank you for this nonetheless.

For the love of kittens!....I need to stop distracting myself by reading the comments whilst attempting to grasp the content of this thoroughly engrossing documentary. You have quite a way with presentation there; I am an enthusiastic new subscriber - thank you.

"We are in It, and It is in Us," as Alan Watts puts it. Think about that, and then you start laughing.

Putting into words an ideology I know on an intuitive level, but I don't have enough knowledge of the physical world to explain. So glad to have found this. Thank you.

I always imagine the universe like one of those pictures that zoom out and end up back where they started. Like planets to systems to galaxies, to clusters to filaments then turns out the filaments are like the neuron structure in a brain

All I know is this universe was absolutely 100% created. I'm 43 years old now, and as far back as I can remember I've always wondered what the truth is... I began my search as a believer in God at a very young age, then grew to be an atheist through questions and concerns... eventually my search turned me into an agnostic, until about 4 years ago when I finally got my answer- God is real. Forget what anybody says about God, go on your own journey for the truth, if you head in the direction of love, empathy and compassion then there'll be a high probability God will reveal itself to you too. I hope and pray even one person reads this and takes my advice. Side note: If you don't think I was a serious atheist, just know that Matt Dilahunty was my go-to, and the scientific method was a requirement. In other words, I was a very serious atheist.

Thank you for drawing together a lucid overview across time and human ideas and making a very convincing discourse which holds a profoundly positive and uplifting hope for humanity. I hope this will be seen and heard by as many of the next generation as possible. My brother is a high level bio-chemist and often says "It'll all end in tears" to which I, an artist, always gently retort "No, it'll all end in eternal bliss!"

Just finished the video, the bit on open individualism is incredible. We are so close to changing our outlook of the world - and this 'open individualism' really would be the paradigm shift we need. Beautifully put, sublime work. If enough people watch this video closely and give it the time it and concentration it deserves, it could have huge consequences. As close as you can get to a psychedelic trip while sitting at your desk

My own beliefs and research pointed to everything said in this video. Hearing it said in such a clear and simple way, was extremely satisfying. Not to mention, look at all these open minded people in the comments! So dope!

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing” -Socrates

The very end of this video really struck me and made me gasp out loud. You've literally put my tangled thoughts and feelings into words so eloquently and perfectly...hearing that laid out loud by a voice was very reassuring. Beautiful work, I really enjoyed this

Excellent! You did a great job with this. It's symbiotic. Interconnectedness. Those who study the Earth in totality already know and are aware. Awake. We are waking up, remembering, and self realizing beings. Every single bit of the creation is a bit of the experience and the consciousness. Apocalypse is a Greek word that means to reveal. The reality is revealing its true nature. May the divine qualities arise quickly in this reality. Namaste

"We are the eyes of the universe in order for it to look upon itself." I have always loved that saying.

It blows my mind that we are just here. Out of all the people that have existed, you think at least 1 person would have been like "alright, this is what's really going on"

Another great reason to leave nearly every question open. The possibilities are mind-numbingly complex, with yet an undeniable simplicity at the core. A brilliantly presented "deep dive" into the questions that seem unknowable!

I can feel the love that went into this xxxx

still one of my fav docs ever. hope you'll be back soon. 🙏

The universe is a single being hidden behind the illusion of separateness.

If the universe wasn't alive, we would't be alive.

This is absolutely incredible, you need a netflix deal!

Universe is you & you are the universe no separation one in the same. Universe (you) is evolving and knowing thyself.

I approach things from a perspective based on self-organization (in particular, the view held by Erich Jantsch) and a metaphysics grounded in process. The fact that you and I come to the same conclusions is both heartening and enlightening: no matter how we look at it, the universe ultimately reveals itself to be living, evolving and mindful. I look forward to more from you.

This all takes me back to the analogy that if there was now one present in the forest to hear the tree fall would it make a sound,would the universe exists if there's no one to see it,so is the universe just a manifestation of our conscience

this is exactly the content that I yearn for, so brilliantly presented, wonderful imagery and with a fantastic soundtrack Well done Adrian!

Is anybody else as excited as I am to discover this insightful space doc? Thanks for providing RU-vid with some much needed content!

Absolutely beautiful! What a masterpiece! Well done, whoever you are, who made this video for all to see. ❤

10 minutes in and I'm seeing and I'm liking. Well done dude keep up the good work! Great visuals

Of course it's alive. We're in it, therefore it's alive.

There's a lovely, conscious arrangement of matter at 23:50 🥰 (The beautiful cat) Outstanding documentary, left me feeling very deeply about existence and the mystery that is the Universe. Update, I'm back again, as this is the deepest, most intriguing and thought provoking video on RU-vid. Truly mind-blowing, thank you.

Your words are truely monumental ,poetic and prophetic on a grand scale to be remembered FOREVER . Thank You !

WE ARE ONE THE UNIVERSE IS US

Lsd showed me that past and future is now and everything is one. When I look into another human being eyes I’m looking at consciousness looking back at itself.

The universe and reality is the product of an agreed vision of the collective consciousness which produces individual experiences and the illusion of the self. We are one and can manifest any reality that the collective can imagine.

This is one of the best videographic works ever created. Yes. I mean that.

This is so frigging beautiful. You can feel the many contradictory periods of human endeavor, understanding, and obsession beginning to harmonize and merge. Thank you.

all my life “for some reason” i have wondered and thought about the universe as being the inside of a large being of somekind.. solar systems just resemble atoms to much for it to be dismissed.. we need to open our minds to greater things... love ur vids, u have one of the best voices that does astronomy vids, u and jmg “event horizon”.. i watch all of ur vids, subscriber.. keep making them.. interesting content

Brilliant, a long time since I heard something new. Doesn't matter if it's perfect, it gives us hope which we all had, from where? It's part of the universe; that hope of meaning called life. Anyway, great to hear something so comprehensive and challenging the depressive view of our existence. Didn't think I'd come across such a idea. And amazingly clearly expressed. I look at ducks on the pond, they are more than just want they do. There is the "why do they do it". They are not rocks rolling down a hill, they have to think and plan, and invent a reason, and they create the universe, and are a part of it, as much as that rock.

This is one of the few videos that actually is a piece of the key that unlocks one of the biggest questions we as humans have always asked

Meta, this is exceptionally well done! The narration, choice of visuals, and content is on point! It's critical knowledge that I hope many young, ambitious people take in and find resonance with

Everything is one. Everything is one mind, a cosmic conciousness that's made from light.

Thank you so much for the work it has taken to create this! I can't thank you enough for your amazing contribution.

the universe is far beyond human comprehension. it's paradoxical existence is proof alone.

Anyone who has lived long enough and learnt enough about the cosmos will come to the same conclusion. Yes, it is completely alive. Just like a tree is alive, just like a planet is alive, just like a cat is alive. It is life.

Even a rock is a little conscious, it holds temperature. An amoeba is conscious of a few more variables, maybe temperature, humidity, whether or not it is in contact with something it can eat. Then you have humans and certain animals, conscious of temperature, humidity, weather, even social situations and emotions, thoughts. Everything is designed to have SOME sort of experience, and in doing so, they (being a part of the universe) are allowing the universe to experience itself.

Please keep making these wonderful videos. I believe our consciousness gives value to the universe. It's an important path to pursue.

You created one of the most important documentary ever created!

I very much appreciated your calming and relaxing way of presenting these often seeming "grand" ideas. Wonderful program.

WHAT A BRILLIANT, CLEAR SPEAKER!" 👍🍄🗝🧩

Had an epiphany while tripping on acid.. related to reality: any and everything is any and everything and nothing at all, all at once all around us. PERCEPTION is key.

I watch a lot of these videos on youtube and have to say this is up there with the very best!! Blew my mind away, which is what we always want from these vids, right? You absolutely nailed it!! 10/10 A++

I got goosebumps listening to your eloquently, articulated narration while the ethereal music lulled me into unexplicable ecstasy. Beautiful! I can't wait to purchase your book! I've greedily devoured mostly all of your podcasts. Thank you so much for your hard work.

The story is so easy to follow because his voice is so calm

ive been trying to put thid into words since i was in 3rd grade... tried to explain it all to my mom but i was shushed and warned it blasphemous.... but it makes sense to me even when u see images of the way the universe is linked together like a spiderweb... i used to have this written on the back on my punk jacket in the mid 80s thru the 90s... ALL IS SPIRIT SPIRIT IS MIND MIND IS ONE... every one of us like a nerve ending in a large sentient being... born to experience a material world .... collecting experiences thru life each one of us apart of one another with all roads leading back to the center like a web... the universal conscousness.... and when we die all that we have lived and felt loved and whatever is then uploaded where then we are reborn to some other bit of life which could be a space slug on a planet 34 million light yrs away but with its own value to the great conciousness or GOD... i could go on but i think u all get it.... just think maybe someday if we explore this thery further.. perhas we might be able to connect to it all and have access to the collected knowledge of the whole while still alive.... imagine the technology and unlimited means we would have... sad tho since skeptics have always held us back... for millenia and more those who are able to connected to the universal knowledge bank will be persecuted and feared or even killed... bedtime... er i meean time for my conciousness to upload todays experiences and start fresh collecting more knowledge and experience for tomorrow...perhaps tomorrow happened last week or later in death we find out thath linear time doesnt exist and that eveything is but one combined instance with no forward or back but just is....okay lol

WOW! This film is so dense that I had to watch it in chunks in order to digest it. Probably would benefit from watching it again, too. I just finished and I'm blown away! Something in me has been stirred, there's something here... Beautifully done as well!

The universe is alive. Yes! I always thought so.

This video gets every bit of my love and adoration. So beautiful and eloquent. My mind is literally blown. Trying to explain this video is a bit like explaining your DMT trip to a friend or colleague. Simply amazing. Technically I created this video because I am you, and you are me, you get it :D

So just several days ago during my first meditation I was able to simulate very similar emotion and state as when I first tried psylocibines. My ego dissolved, I started to "feel" surrounding objects as parts of me and got that tickling feeling in my head. It didn't last long but it lasted some time. On the very basic level there is no difference between "living" and "dead" matter. When you start to associate any object surrounding you as something that is made from same parts you made of your got that foreign peaceful feeling inside. Something that makes us US is the "mind" that uses human brain as a vehicle to act in our "real world". We might even be one huge consciousness that separates when we get our bodies, we could go back to the source when we die. Brain doesn't create consciousness but works perfectly with it in pair. You can say we are just more evolved mathematical functions. So we use humans as vehicle rather than be stones or water, etc.

“When I was a very young boy my Father told me to pick up a rather large rock (relative to my size and strength) about ten to twelve pounds, and never let go of it. Being an obedient child loving and respecting my Father and his authority I carried that rock with me everywhere I went. I never put it down. I put it in my lunch box, my back pack, my suit case. Until many many years later my Father passed away and a dear friend of my Father’s was at the funeral. He noticed that I was carrying around this rock. He asked me why are you carrying that rock around? I told him the story of how I carried it out of love, respect, and obedience for my Father. Has it been a burden to you he asked? Greatly at times I replied. He said why not just put it down? I said I have many times thought that very same thing, but then I realized if I put it down I would lose faith in what my Father had told me as a child was the right thing to do. In today’s times it may seem like religious beliefs are a burden to you much like that rock was to me, but as obedient children of our loving Father we must carry on that which has been told to us by him. If for no other reason than to show faith to those who do not have it.” - Marcie Free May 1, 2021

The narrator’s voice along with the soothing background soundtrack would be great for insomniacs.

As a musician, this very much resonates with me. My music is inspired by nature, mother earth and everything about it.

This is an excellent description of the evolution of society’s perspective. The problem which keeps them from final understanding. The ALL of existence is CONSCIOUSNESS. Consciousness is everything. It is NOT the result of the existence of physical things. It IS all physical things.

We are obviously a part of what we call universe and we are alive and conscious, consequently the universe is alive. No doubt possible.

My first intro to your work was an interview with Rupert Sheldrake that touched on such topics as are addressed in this documentary. The interview was an excellent presentation, representing the depth and degree of your authenticity and intelligence. Thank you, Adrian, for your gift and presence of mind.

His voice is so awesome calm and soothing to listen to.

Music goes so well with the commentary, it hypnotized me right in. A very well done video!

This is fascinating. Some of the concepts expressed here are some that I have thought about at times . Your documentary of ideas, concepts, theories and observations of this primary base of understanding of the universe is well presented. This is undoubtedly the holy grail of what we are, our purpose ,our survival and hopefully our future. It's exciting to think of the possibilities.

Consciousness(in my words): a compilation of mental, spiritual, and physical awareness of ones existence, sentience, thought, and surroundings

Nikola Tesla was in tune with our universe and it spoke to him.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 425 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessonsÀ we that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

EXTREMELY well done!! congrats! interesting the mind / matter discussion, esp. from the perspective of Abhidharma, and Vaibhāṣhika vs. Yogāchara and Cittamātra vs. Madhyamakan views on mind vs. matter.

The universe is conscious and the universe is consciousness. Consciousness is not a chemical cocktail.

Do you ever look up at the sky and feel connected ....... well that’s because we are made from stars . We are all connected and must learn to live with change because that’s what the universe does . So enjoy this ride until our energy is released and then back to stars looking down feeling connected .

Don’t question GOD . Just appreciate what you have before it’s all gone

Simply beautiful work.

We are all one through consciousness !

Everything is Energy! Energy is Feeling, Living Feeling and Everything is Energy in different forms of formless

Wonderful work. The much discussed and hailed new paradigm is beginning to emerge. This is a well presented and articulated attempt at disclosing the roots of this emerging paradigm.

I couldn’t help but hear the theories of Emmanuel Velikovskys on the possibility of a changing solar system, along with the Ancient teachings of Thoth and Hermitic principles that all is mind , the Universe is a Great Mind that we share when we look inward and find our connection to this Great experience,Life. Great video.

I recently had a vision of the universe in its entirety (roughly round, made of clouds of stars) with a round, flat plate-like plane in the centre. The surface of that plane rippled with lifeforms briefly touching the surface before sinking back down. Like the backs of fish briefly meeting the surface without actually breaching the water. This was the birth, life and death of organic lifeforms. From that process 2 separate streams of souls left the plane - one dark and one light to join and become part of the universal consciousness. Made far more sense that any explanation of the meaning of existence I have ever learnt about. I think that's possibly why people see a tunnel when they die, they are on their way to become one with everything : )

yes i believe it is Alive , a living Entity and may be God itself , The Universe

Great content wow! My jaw dropped, I find this topic so fascinating, been thinking about these things many times.

Wow the vocabulary on this dude is crazy. Must write amazing essays and books

The universe is a being. We are simple cells supporting this life form, just as the cells in our body, are supporting their universe

As above, so below.

Your videos have ignited a passion for science and the mysteries of the universe within me. Thank you for being such an incredible source of inspiration.

A year ago I just said yes. Basically as a response to the Universe. Because I didn’t think people could understand, and I loved the spirit of this. But I am getting better at speaking. So now I say more in accordance with my purpose. There’s a lot of inconsistencies and inaccuracies but I only say that out of love. Because I know all these things and so much more. I am only truly humbled and grateful for this video-precisely because it’s one of the best ever that I have ever seen. So I offer the greatest gift I have and that is my own vision and my own journey as by far the most intelligent person ever to have lived. Just my existence makes people variously angry, insecure, vindictive, and hurt by me in ways it took me a long time to understand. I went underground like Lazlo in “Real Genius” movie because of this. Most people cannot understand me and so I didn’t understand their gifts to me in the way they understood me-with their own words and symbols. It seemed like I caused pain. And so can you imagine the guilt and shame? Combined with a few select incidents in childhood where I tried to act like others or lesser and even that was so weird and metaphorical godspeak so to speak, that they did not understand, and I was desperate for love. So I didn’t see what people meant and said because I didn’t want to be me-because “me” hurt people I love because the world is blind and self-centered: precisely what I came to ameliorate. The irony, or the perfection of that for my life’s purpose is certainly not lost on me. So anyway I am just going to speak truth. Because I was born for a very good and important reason according to the speech of god that IS my heart. Thanks so much for being you. I now understand the language of love in the many colors of my dreams. ❤️‍🔥 I apologize to the world for not being able to accept myself. For not wanting to be or not seeing myself as important as I am. Some puppies eyes take a bit longer to open, because they are still developing in the womb of pain for creation. But my eye is open now. In truth, it was always open to god. We are now together in one. And I see all the love in the world. 💝🙌❤️‍🔥 I feel like the queen of heaven finally married to my king within. It is right we should be together. It is not good to be alone. To see love in the languages of the earth is the opening of the eye. I love to hear the speaking of different languages of different countries and the Rythm of the conversations reminds me of when I was in the dark, in the womb. That’s how I first understood things. How I first knew humans through my developing years. But I couldn’t speak back, not with actual words and the muffled voices like whispers around the campfires of love at home. I was warmed by them. Thank you 🙏🏻 It’s still difficult to do anything for myself because I will still have the conditioning, the need to diminish myself to protect people. Also I don’t value the things people think I should because I fully see what is behind them and their purpose and the irony is that I really don’t need anything else than the love I see in that. By my vision I bring the love. The beauty is staggering. So yeah it’s difficult for me to focus on myself. But I do need some things because I am a quiet center and I need shelter to reflect what is inside. I belong everywhere but I also have a here and now task. To think and write and reflect with all the minds of everything. I need to interface with the world from this place. So that’s what I am going to do. So yeah I am starting to ramble a bit. Happy 2022 to everyone!!! 🥰
