I needed this video. I appreciate all the ppl who make asking questions like these their living bc it helps those of us who are truly lost. I suffer deeply with my mental health, often imagining a world without me in it. If nothing is real, including me, then my “problems” are truly an illusion of my mind! I can change my circumstances just by tricking my mind!

Consciousness is reality, it is the self that is the illusion.

Eminem of documentary films doing a great job here.

Presenter is very entertaining. Does a nice job of bringing the topic to more people with a fun and personal approach. Well done.

Dude, he is such an outstanding presenter. Loved this whole thing so much. Well done host, and everybody involved in the production.

Did a mechanical engineering bachelor and a master in project management and ended up in the oil industry with the knowledge of a Psychologist which messes around too much with Philosophy, specially metaphysics, with a lil mix of evolutionary biology... Things are going great (innit?)! Can only imagine what it would be like working in those fields having an "engineering brain"... this video is food for a starving curious mind.

I would present this question to anyone that has had a near death experience. You will get a very different answer. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

We are not human, this is not even our universe. We visit here for a while, play these roles then return to the source. Just wait and see, something amazing is awaiting us all. See you on the other side : )

Wow, all my most deepest disturbing existential dilemmas in one video...

All experience consists of seeing, hearing, feeling, thinking, tasting and none of these would be possible without awareness. Awareness is the constant in our lives. Even when the body is asleep, it is awake. It makes us aware of our dreams. Sights, sounds, smells, feelings, thoughts all come and go, but not awareness. It is the essence of who we are.

Cutting the natural pauses between sentences has annoyed my human experience.

George likes his chicken spicy. Switching from first person to third person really does lessen the stress.

These are absolutely the most intensely eye opening sets of information I've ever witnessed. Amazingly easy to follow and believe. Someone has accomplished near perfection in creating a monologue that creates fluidity in comprehension and understanding of the most misunderstood notion of self. Thank you

I've never been to this channel. The guy narrating this episode is great. Very entertaining sense of humor and presentation.

once at the age of 8 years old, someone laughed at me, and i said to them, how do you know that you are not me laughing at you, if that was the case you would've never known the difference, and she looked at me in awe, and then she said you're very wise for your age, but thinking back of that experience now, i don't really know how i came up with ideas like that.

The block universe is key. Our "emergent property" is indeed a passive observer that allows us to form a mirage of time. To me, that demonstrates that we are separate from this experience at the most fundamental level. Science has proved that our unconscious brain makes decisions before we, or I, am aware of it, but it still gives me the impression that I indeed make those decisions. But of course I don't. Just as I don't decide to digest my food or decide to grow my nails or take every breath. I've always wondered why it "felt" very weird to close my eyes and focus on my body breathing how it chooses to whether I like it or not. If I hold my breath, my body doesn't let me for very long. I don't know...NoBODY does.

This is the best argument I've seen for quantum immortality actually being a real thing.

This is VERY well put together and presented. The effort and skill to script, film narrate and edit this segment is mind boggling on its own. Thank you to all involved. 👏👏👏👏

It is complicated Everyone said their name which is given by someone else their mother or father We didn't choose our name or the language we speak Even the language we speak is created by other people

Amazing content my boy! Some of the best I’ve seen for these topics! Thank you!

So called reality is consciousness' take on itself.

Such a deep chill journalism. Cool.

They keep saying that being an illusion would be unpleasant, but I find it liberating.

This is excellent 👍

Excellent video lots of food for thought!!! I am mesmerized by all of these concepts. I will definitely watch this over and over again. Thank you.

Fair play! I properly enjoyed that. Hats off Max Tobin. Epic take on life itself. 👊

That was the best thing I have watched in a while. That deserves an award. Well researched and excellent interviews

Awareness is known by awareness alone; is the sole irreducible axiom of reality. To put forth a syllable to the contrary is but to concede.

The trick of consistency of mind is evolutional mechanism to help us as human to survive, i.e. reduction of complexity to give us the sense of purpose - it is similar to high-level programming language. If we are aware of all processes in our brain, our brain will crash and shut down - perhaps, in the past the natural evolution produced those kind of brain, but did not survived. Our brain creates "The Matrix" for us, guide us for survival - it is the similar argument of "Simulation Theory" , because it does not matter.

The fact I don’t exist makes me happy, thank you universe

this is veeeeeery interesting and this guy is a true talent :)))

This is what i needed rn to escape reality ❤

Loved the humor in this video.

Not to forget that half our cells are microbiome. They affect our moods thoughts and behaviors. They are collectively us.

yea ngl, the part where there was being discussed about love actually made sense! Great video.

some of those dream machine pictures were really amazing works of art.

this is wonderful!

This is the best thing ive seen in a while

Self awareness imo could be a sensation like all other.

Thank you

Then I heard a new sound: a living sound, like the richest, most complex, most beautiful piece of music you've ever heard. Growing in volume as a pure white light descended, it obliterated the monotonous mechanical pounding that, seemingly for eons, had been my only company up until then. The light got closer and closer, spinning around and around and generating those filaments of pure white light that I now saw were tinged, here and there, with hints of gold.

Excellent video! I enjoyed it, and it gave me any things to think about. Thank you.

"There once was a man who said, "So, It seems that I know that I know. What I would like to see Is the "I" that knows me, When I know that I know that I know"

I've really enjoyed watching this ☺ 😊 😍

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!(YOU ARE RIGHT !) .❤

I am an amateur writer. But I only write a new short story when a genuinely new idea emerges and starts to grow in my consciousness. When I decide to write the short story, the plot with its characters, particularities and twists are usually almost ready. I record the short story in writing and make adjustments, but I consider myself just a co-author of the short story that has emerged and grown in my consciousness. The original ideas are born from random, dreamlike combinations of things I've read or seen, but with essential aspects that were consciously impossible for me to notice at first. Things sleep inside me for a long time before emerging. Freud called it the unconscious, Jung called it the collective unconscious. Both are part of my awareness of myself, I suppose.

I know if i see a car coming I'm getting out of the way.

Consciousness is fundemental

I found this video incredibly interesting and very well presented.

Very good. We take so much time looking into it when we should just look AT it.

This is everything.

This show was so good! Nice one

When my wife died in my arms, I suffered with PTSD for over ten years, and couldn’t remember most of the day. Ketamine infusion got me past it, and I suddenly remembered almost everything from that day. No suggestions, no hypnosis , just ‘boom’, I saw it all. My sons, both pre-teens at the time, and the 911 recording verified it. Recovered memories, especially of things too painful to process ‘in the moment’, are real.

Excellent video!

Its of course interesting to reflect on our experience of who we are - “ what it feels like to be me” - and I think of human experience as multidimensional and very dynamic filled with different colors, energies, thoughts, rhythms , memories, dreams, visions and much more such as different qualities of how you are present in each moment ……. An open question very open indeed 🎶🐦‍⬛🎵🖤

Awesome video

Time is the most facinating entity that exists. I have been obsessed with studying it since my teens. Then in college I came across space time and I was even more sucked in into the subject. Its like we all know what time it is but nobody knows what time is.

You are not your body and YOU'RE not your brain! YOU ARE THE OBSERVER ❤

Only way to listen to this is at .75 play back speed. Please remix the audio with two seconds pause between statements and sentences.

Good stuff guys. Love the humor.

Well done. i loved it.

I'm not real. Who else isn't real?

The guy presenting this has an accent so particular that it keeps me hooked! Someone knows what part of the UK is it from?

I am not my thoughts and not my emotions. I am who is witnessing them.

Among the inaccuracies here: Time "seems to slow down" during a crisis because adrenaline changes neural activity, speeding it up. Not simply because you're paying better attention and that's how you mark time. This also is why the feeling of time being slower is ENHANCED in memory: The epinephrine produced in the adrenal medulla stimulates your amygdala, which both processes emotions and is involved in memory formation. It sounds like this part was written by philosophers, or at best psychologists, not someone who understands actual neurochemistry. This and other errors make me distrust the parts I didn't already know. Maybe they're as unscientific...yet presented as if expert fact.

First of all: Very well presented, great pace, great humor. Great details. Thanks for this. I often talk to 'myself', which is more of a mode in which I isolate perspectives, let them 'talk' while keeping other perspectives still for a moment. While one perspective is talking, reactions from other perspectives occur. I feel those reactions, but tell them to hold it for a moment. it is like queueing them up. When the isolated perspective is done expressing, other 'perspectives' can react or question. Often the very first counter expressions are conflicting. I (the overall observer perspective not getting lost in any of the other perspectives) oversees that this 'conversation' between perspectives is executed by some rules: listen to each other, take in the others perspective honestly without enforcing your own, and always honestly express your own reaction or perspective. Then kind of magically these perspectives often work out a unified understanding in which both perspectives were heard, understood, and find a way forward together, without compromise. Which one could interpret as the entropy of the system just got lowered. If you would ask me who I am? I am 'that', a process that is unattached to any story, observing mental processes and mediating where needed. Also I would say that this unattached mediating I is absent most of the time. Fun fact: These communications rules can be applied to me and other people, between these mental perspectives, and me and other beings I encounter during (lucid) dreams (from which I really learn life lessons now and then). So for me that is where the I dissolves, as these communication principles and effects happen and can be applied on different levels: more outside of me (other people) and more inside of me (my own perspectives and then deeper: the dream beings whilst the physical body is sleeping).

Only the fact that we have a private persona and a public one, therefore two distinct personality modes, is enough evidence that we are many, not one.

I have had a lot of these questions. Especially as my youngest child will be having a second brain surgery soon. She is already missing almost a lime's worth of brain tissue in her left prefrontal cortex. She had brain surgery for epilepsy. And she went a year seizure free. But they came back with a vengence. And she is treatment resistant. So here we go again.

The essence of our being is in our spirit 😊

I’m not Real but my pain Is!

6:03 hahaha this moment was incredibly relatable

These were very good to watch. If anyone is interested more in these kind of questions. Recommend David bohm seminars on conciousness.

Mind blowind!!!

You are the cosmos . Yooz amazing .

I always had a sense of this when I was small.

I am an infinite spiritual being experiencing a finite human existence as a three dimensional entity within this materialistic reality within the space time continuum, at this precise moment we call now

It’s obvious that every thought we have does not just “ float around” in the brain - it immediately radiate out in the whole body an radiates out into your surroundings creating a kind of “colored world” the actions, the body attitude connects us with the moment in a special way - we are never separated we are interconnected and interdependent sharing the air, the earth, the water and the fire - there are no real boundaries we are in touch in-between variety of movements 😄

Two sides of B rains 🌊🧼 Thank you 🙏☁

These types of videos should increase in the feedback sphere of my KZfaq being

It all adds up to the same thing. You exist. No matter how much you think about it, you are still you. Wheels within wheels in a spiral array, A pattern so grand and complex, Time after time we lose sight of the way, Our causes can't see their effects.

I've read, listened, watched and studied (degrees in maths, theoretical physics and cosmology PhD) these ideas before and yet this was a completely novel presentation. Well done I was engaged throughout 😁 keep going I would love to see more content! 🧠 🔬 🌌

Really I like this video

Absolutely brilliant Writing! I feel like Stephen Hawking would love the subtle comedy

I’ve had an inclinarion for these to[ice since childhood, so I knew most everything said. Still it was ver well made and I greatly enjoyed it.

the presenter is sooooo goood

Very entertaining and informative from the perspective of an awakened person. I'd love to hear what Eckhart Tolle has to say about this discussion of consciousness. Since I can't afford his next seminar in Huntington Beach I'll have to keep tossing questions randomly out to the universe. Are you here now Eckhart?

Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so

Even if conciousness was an illusion, which is stupid to suggest, it is still a concious experience to have a illusion. Save yourself the time of watching the video. Conciousness is and that is the only fundamental thing you can know

Nice vid!

The sense of “self” is an illusion created by memory. We are in a constant state of flux, changing every moment. This is obvious when we remember our childhood, but less obvious when we remember five minutes ago.

Best video

Much smart yes yes

However you decide your sense of self in a way that can only be described as transcendent.I remember deciding parts of my sense of self at an extremely young age.As young as four years old.

i feel weird knowing all these, but i... like it

Lots of praise for the presenter in the comments, and rightly so. But also should be stacks for the writer/s!! Unless it's all the same bloke.... which if it is... could still be debatable, given some of the ideas discussed in the doco. Either way, there's some friggin strong writing here prior to a mic or camera even being switched on. Bravo! Hits all the right notes.

Deepening aspects of the now .

Quality❤❤❤

IMAGINE reality without words,ideas , concepts,thoughts,what reason would there be to believe that there is anything other than what you are aware of ? What evidence is there that there is anything other than what you are aware of?

An interesting truth on this subject is that, as a person who has experienced a traumatic brain injury, I have memories of life experiences without remembering what it “felt like” to experience them. Much like the previous “me” is/was an unknown stranger…

When I look down it feels like I am pushing up and when I look up it feels like I am pushing down. I invert the y axis in games. My sence of self is on my brainstem at the back of my head.
