Is everything just a figment of our imagination?
Join renowned author Deepak Chopra and philosopher ‪@bernardokastrup‬ as they delve into the nature of reality, questioning materialism and exploring the power of consciousness. This eye-opening conversation will challenge your assumptions about the universe and leave you pondering the true nature of existence.
Bernardo Kastrup's work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured on 'Scientific American,' the 'Institute of Art and Ideas,' the 'Blog of the American Philosophical Association' and 'Big Think,' among others.

🌀The limitations of materialism and why it fails to explain consciousness.
🌀Scientific evidence supporting the primacy of consciousness.
🌀Is the universe a product of mind?
🌀Debating the views of other prominent scientists on reality.

I can credit Bernardo for really opening my mind, several years ago, as I had been searching for the "link" between Buddha's "all is mind" to science. Today I believe there is behind all of "it" the universal consciousness (UC). We will never understand it, but I do believe that everything going on in the universe(s) is just this consciousness self-fulfilling its own experience engine. What we think, what we do, and every other sentient and non-sentient things exist to feed experience into the UC's engine. Our mathematics emerge from our own human interpretation of the physical, the physical arises from our senses "looking," but there are likely other "maths" and "views" - probably infinitely - that also provide interpretations for "the others." The greatest point I take away is that we have no reason to view the UC as a god to be worshipped. We can just rest knowing we are fully "at one" with the UC. Furthermore, such "hard questions" as the cosmological constant, et al, I think are just artifacts of our own math, driven by how we create the universe we observe. I feel sure there are other universes that have their own "constants" arising from the local minds of those universes. I continue to wonder, however, how other Earthly biological species observe, and what universes they see? Maybe one day we can figure out how to "mind meld" with our pets.

Thank you for this truly enlightening conversation with respect to Schopenhauer reminds me of Jesus’ comment at verse 3 of the Gospel of Thomas: “ If those who lead you say to you,’See the Kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourself, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.”

As a species, we will not be facilitated as acknowledging such deep & more complex rationales until we faithfully endeavor & more so achieve what has been designated as being Wholistic systematizations. Having endeavored many years attempting to form an arrangement of experiences, informations, matters, energies, phenomena & technologies as potentiating a realized, wholistic systematization, one will eventually come to realize, that it's really not about physicality, mathematics or the ones & zeros. In my humble opinion, the reason that our species as a whole has not come to potentiate such a consciousness & awareness, is attributable to not enough of us have been allowed to devote a sufficient amount of time & resources, to potentiate & manifest, the in & of itself, that continually & continuously potentiates & sustains itself. Which is an endeavorment, as creating a (factitious) lifeform.

I've been thinking alot about the ancient symbol of the flower of life. That symbol to me looks almost like a quantum particle. If the double slit experiment shows that it exsit in all postions until measured they explain it as a little fuzzy cloud of possibilities. Well take a good look at that symbol the flower of life. It looks like A fuzzy cloud or a bunch of round circles. Then when it's measured we're seeing 1 round spot of that symbol. I'm sorry if this sounds like random babble but I ask you to look into the flower of life and what physicist propose what a particle on the qauntum scale looks like

The electron is not a particle, but a unity of energy said its discoverer. Light cannot be a particle, it has to be an ether disturbance (Tesla N.). And here we still are, stuck with intellectuals who cant get over their conditioned minds.

Here is the explanation for dark matter/galaxy rotation curves - Wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass the known, fundamental phenomenon of dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) will occur. Mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. It's the phenomenon behind the phrase "mass becomes infinite at the speed of light". Time dilation is just one aspect of dilation, it's not just time that gets dilated. A 2 axis graph illustrates the squared nature of the phenomenon, dilation increases at an exponential rate the closer you get to the speed of light. Dilation will occur wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass because high mass means high momentum. This includes the centers of very high mass stars and the overwhelming majority of galaxy centers. It can be inferred mathematically that the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. This means that there is no valid XYZ coordinate we can attribute to it, you can't point your finger at something that is smeared through spacetime. More precisely, everywhere you point is equally valid. In other words that mass is all around us. Dilation does not occur in galaxies with low mass centers because they do not have enough mass to achieve relativistic velocities. It has recently been confirmed in 6 very low mass galaxies including NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 to have no dark matter. In other words they have normal rotation rates. This also explains why all binary stars are normal rotation rates, not 3 times normal.

Mr. Kastrup. I'm going to have to call your claim that there is a long term research project that shows evidence that nothing is "there" until you look at it. Where can I find this study? I've heard this "evidence" alluded to for a few years, but dismissed it because of the reputation of the claimants. Now you, with your reputation, refer to a specific project, so there must be something to look at. I suspect that the data can be interpreted numerous ways and I want to discern what it points to for myself. You can reply with the study here. I'm with you that materialism falls short in accurately modeling reality, but so do "idealism" and panpsychism. Especially the way you limit panpsychism. You say that because panpsychism is defined as a particle of matter that has consciousness then it's just another form of materialism. But, given the most widely used description of panpsychism, wouldn't it be just as valid to say that a particle of consciousness is also a particle of matter? That places consciousness as the arbitrary perspectival orientation. They're interchangeable. I suspect that the all-too-human tendency to simplify everything is where the different forms of reductionism come from. In order to grasp and work with complex ideas and systems we create mental constructs, with labels, of one idea that is a placeholder for the "bandwidth" of the complexity. And this is what I think has happened with nonduality. Some thousands of years ago, someone or a group of someones needed to intellectually grasp an anomalous experience and unconsciously oversimplified an errant interpretation of a complex experience. And that mentally constructed reduction has persisted and magnified until current times. If you have time, what are your thoughts on this?

He's not talking about that, he's talking about the witness consciousness that experienced his childhood is the same witness consciousness that's experiencing his current reality. The one continuous entity from his birth to his age now is that witness consciousness which experienced all this. Experience of now is the only reality we have, past and future are in minds, they are now unreal/ like a dream. But his memory and current reality are also witnessed by the underlying witness consciousness.

@@AdvaiticOneness1 So you want to say conscious is in time Or time is in consciousness... Any way consciousness can't exist without time...
