Amit Goswami, Quantum Physics & Consciousness 2 of 3

[jollincones]

I love his analogy about chalk marks on a black board "This separateness is just an imposition on my oneness. Just as we make chalk marks on a black board, the board remains unity however many chalk marks I have made. So consciousness remains that one always, except that many manifest experiences are being created in this consciousness which then become the source of our apparent separateness and confusion." Goswami 3:59 <--- from the real book of truths, ha.

[dagny1984]

so, the subject is not creating the object, and neither is the object creating the subject, but consciousness is creating both. But how is consciousness distinct from the subject? Are we not the subject perceiving the object with our consciousness?

[buttegowda]

If super consciousness is GOD what then is devil ?

[DurexDurpaneu2]

Yes I did achieve what I wanted and planed for. Yes it did seem like magic and almost super natural how I got them "with almost no effort at all" BUT! No, it's not magic! it wasn't easy. It SEEMED easy to ME because of how I tackled my problems in that clear state of mind where I eliminated the ego. (the enlightenment state of mind). It is powerful. But not supernatural.

[DurexDurpaneu2]

Fucking thank you!!! Ugh! Getting sick of all these "the secret" cult followers! "wish for money!" yea fucking right! Money won't rain on you if you wish hard enough and have faith.

I've been experimenting with this theory he talks about and it does work.. WHEN IT COMES TO CREATIVITY AND UNDERSTANDING! but to manipulate this reality that's is held together by billions ... Good luck!

[november16th1979]

FOOD OF THE GODS by Terence McKenna

[VVSK99]

It is more like the philosophy of "ADWAITA" or in English "Non-duality" principle...

[FromThatShow]

Sounds like new age spirituality lol! Science is catching up!

[3877michael]

The illusion of a separate reality happens in the brain/mind. By quitting or stopping the brain/mind a different experience of self and reality is available. The odd part of that is this new experience is not translatable back to your normal separating reality. The brain/mind cannot describe or relate the beyond brain/mind.

[AmokBR]

Lol, some people take too many conclusions out of QM.

[Punkforbrains]

I just started reading his book "The Self Aware Universe" havnt gotten very far.

Now I have a question or two about what he has said here.

"My brain is an object in my conciousness" & that "I am identifying with my brain". If my brain is a part of me isnt it matter and it creates consciousness, and not a product of consciousness.

Secondly, "You are 'Seperate", "Secondary", If you are secondary what is primary? Are you secondary because, from my perspective, I am primary?

[UrbanMonk93]

@Punkforbrains when the body dies you move from "secondary" and go to "primary"...just another way to look at it

[3877michael]

@Punkforbrains Some of your answers could come from the question about thought. When you think with your mind, who is talking / thinking and who is listening ? Try it. This implies a two stage consciousness within your one body. Self awareness is a function of consciousness. Think of consciousness as dark matter. A ground of potential being that pervades and sustains all matter and non matter.

[machngunjoe]

@Punkforbrains Primary is consciousness. or Energy. An undestructable, constantly recycled, essence.

[ccollymore]

Is this dude in the matrix? what's with the programming code in the background?

[deanmullen10]

This is very deep thinking but there is much between this depth and the surface, if we explore the realm between the depth of quantum physics and the basic world then we will have a grand understanding, but there is probably information deeper than the world of quantum physics.

[DavidAlanRogers]

@deanmullen10

"depth of quantum physics and the basic world"

The world behaves quantum mechanically in its greatest generality. The basic world that you are referring to is purely your intuition and evolutionary understanding of nature. The fact that you have limited intuition is not an invitation to endorse a belief in absolutely anything; it is a sign that everything you take for granted should be verified empirically. The last thing you need is another leap of faith or unfalsifiable theory.

[deanmullen10]

atoms + consciousness = life

not atoms develops consciousness = life because that would be like 1 develops 2 but 1 + 2 =3 makes more sense

[lisabhip]

errr i need subtitles, i have trouble understanding him

[TK501ST]

@lisabhip You can read his works, which are in very clear and easy to understand English!

Highly recommended books!

Peace!

[RobMonty248]

The bummer about what I do is, TV takes the feeling away after awhile it de-tunes the body. When your upset youll notice this, come listen to the song again.. =-)

Thank you Mother Earth!

[RobMonty248]

When you truely notice the oneness, you are psychic...

You can read people as if they are you and yes, you can very well read thier thoughts.

I meditate daily for 7 years or so, ive been very psychic since about 6 months into it, Ive healed people and back up my claims here watch?v=x2C4mLY5I_E

I use electromagnetic heart energy with love in mind, channeling love outward. (basic awareness of energy). I wondered if magnetics from/heart can be recorded onto magnetic data, It can.. check it!

[danieljliversLXXXIX]

@RobMonty248 A load of wishy-washy, hippy-dippy words with nothing substantual.

[RobMonty248]

@danieljliversLXXXIX no one can force you to find it.

Your right, 100% right..

Mind over matter would require you change your mind.

Thats all, and please if ya got nothing good to say, please skip saying it to me.

[danieljliversLXXXIX]

@RobMonty248 By "nothing good" you mean "being critical of me."

[RobMonty248]

@danieljliversLXXXIX I am not interested in speaking unless it makes positive progress...

Thanks for your opinion, I know what works for me, I am very happy and love my life and myself.

Sorry, though i care not if your critical of me, like you matter to me? No offense but really, who are you and why do i really care? I do not beyond what i said, if you can not put the puzzle together stop playing with the pieces?

I got better things to do, just like you do, dont ya?

[RobMonty248]

@danieljliversLXXXIX I do way beyond what these people talk about and I know it works, deeply know it.

Being critical of me only helps me to laugh at how blind I used to be, and sounded alot like many others who denided it all. The fact of it is from my point of view, your already doing it, the big problem is your upset cause ya keep creating shit into your life and finnaly found out, its all your fault and not anyone elses, so you can point the finger at me all you wish and never fix the prob.

[DavidAlanRogers]

@RobMonty248

"I do way beyond what these people talk about and I know it works, deeply know it."

Spoken like a true messiah.

[RobMonty248]

@danieljliversLXXXIX You cant live with out doing what they speak of, everyone already does it, always has and will with in this world. Notice it, Listen with your heart, or do not. Everyone does this, so being critical of me is like saying, you want to find ways to prove its not happening, prove to yourself its not happening, your not gonna prove to me it doesnt work, it works perfectly over here, I have nothing to sell you cause you already do it also, I took the blind fold off. I can see!

[g4macdad]

@danieljliversLXXXIX

Nothing substantial? ROTFLMAO You have NO idea what Quantum Physics is do you?

[danieljliversLXXXIX]

@g4macdad Do you? Do you have a phd in Physics? Quantum physics is just a made up word to explain levels of reality that we can't understand. There is just physics. No Quantum or Meta-.

[g4macdad]

@danieljliversLXXXIX

So you are arguing word definitions? LOL Why reply to a comment in a public forum, if you are going to argue such petty things? You will never establish ANYTHING productive this way. Good Luck.

[romacki]

@danieljliversLXXXIX he's a top-level phd in the field of quantum physics applying the laws of quantum mechanics to our understand of ourselves and concsiousness - wishy-washy hippy-dippy indeed

[g4macdad]

@romacki

The "discontinuous leap" refers to the phenomenon where electrons change orbits. During the "leap," electrons have ZERO material characteristics. They are essentially metaphysical, and this can BE tested AND proven, hence the term; "Post-Materialist Science."

[romacki]

@g4macdad sorry i was being sarcastic by echoing daniejlivers statement - i don't really think Goswami is wishy-washy or hippy-dippy

[romacki]

@g4macdad sorry i was being sarcastic by echoing daniejlivers statement - i don't really think Goswami is wishy-washy or hippy-dippy

also i think i see now that his comment was not directed at this video, but at another commenter's remarks

[romacki]

@g4macdad sorry i was being sarcastic by echoing daniejlivers statement - i don't really think Goswami is wishy-washy or hippy-dippy

also i think i see now that his comment was not directed at this video, but at another commenter's remarks

(when i first saw his comment it was under the video and had no @soandso in front of it)

[danieljliversLXXXIX]

@romacki Wishy-washy, hippy-dippy... as in "love is the answer" or "God is love". That stuff.

[romacki]

@danieljliversLXXXIX yeah i get you now - the way youtube had your comment at the top of the page it appeared you were calling goswami hippy-dippy, wishy-washy

[imawesome89100]

@RobMonty248 hello

[RobMonty248]

@imawesome89100 Hi, how are you.. =)

Whats up out there world!!!

-=)

[imawesome89100]

@RobMonty248 just wanted to say hi =) i went into a trance other night after thinking my thoughts are not mine or me. i felt better because i didn't need to worry about anything if my thoughts are not me. and then wile i was going to sleep i saw two flashes and then pictures , many pictures flashing like a projector where i was looking, like 1 thousand pictures in a few seconds as i tried to focus and figure out one of the pictures i went into a trance and then i fell sleep =p

[VenOpinion]

We are just grasping the top of an iceberg here, he is not the first one talking about this matter, the subject had been around for a while, when A. Einstein commented 'God could not be playing dices ...' and the 'Schrodinger's Cat', even C.G. Jung had a go about it. The road linking Q.M. consciousness and unconsciousness will be hazardous

[Taobert]

is zooming in and out really necessary?

[hughjoey]

MISUSE OF THE TERM QUANTUM PHYSICS.

[PROFFESORSEXY]

@adhedman...yeah...it was really wierd...well just made a marble move a couple of mm....dint reallt know how

[jazzaste123]

whoooooooooow i love love love love love it TRUTH WE ARE ONE BEING BEING MANY POSSIBILITIES

[vocesdelsur2010]

Love it

[betterbett9048]

Talk about dodge the question!

[Adhedman]

@betterbett9048

He does not dodge the questions, but you dodge the answer.

[PhysicsOfTruth]

Amazing the way Science and religion set off on their own journeys and at the end of their journey they find they meet up with themselves.

[PROFFESORSEXY]

Look at something and try to move it....I did this a couple of boring weekends and hours slip by like nothing....It will move.

[gavinsstuff]

@PROFFESORSEXY you made an object move with your mind?? either you are a liar or insane or hallucinating. which is it? if you are correct then go and claim the million dollar randi prize

[maxbiteme]

MAn the woman at 1:14 was like thinking 'shit no matter what i say it's gonna sound dumb compared to this guy'

[The2012phenomneon]

Just want 2 be sure, the room I see is in my mind, but is the real room really there, I know the room I see is in my brain but Is the original world still out there like?????

[WazDDR]

@The2012phenomneon Everything u c, feel, hear and smell r all coming from ur mind. Jus the observer gets lost n thinks it is the mind r 'I' but in reality u r the observer; whoever dat is!... Jus look at people who get hypnotized; u can make them believe anything i.e make them think dat small toy car is their real car (a ferrari).

[The2012phenomneon]

@WazDDR yes i agree, because re-calling from any dreams I've had, they are very real until you awake and realize it was all an illusion in the mind, same for this so-called "Reality"

[deanmullen10]

do you ever notice that when you depend on something so much and expect it to happen more, the less likely it is to happen, and visa virsa????

[deanmullen10]

I always look at the tomorrow hypothesis, Imagine I say the universe began yesterday and will end tomorrow and exists today, Okay common sense says then June 9th was the beginning, June 10th is today and the only day of existence and the world will end on June 11th, but when I reach June 11th, tomorrow is not reached, tomorrow is now June 12th, the world was created yesterday (June 10th) and exists on June 11th and this always remains true eternally past and future directions

[UncannyRicardo]

@comment below

Back at ya.

[gavinsstuff]

ive never heard such utter bullshit in my life

[PhysicsOfTruth]

@gavinsstuff you shouldn't listen to (truths)!!!! if u dnt give a shit bout it, because its true, accept it, even if u dnt believe it my friend.

[gavinsstuff]

@PhysicsOfTruth get an education in reality.... my friend, and stop talking mumbo jumbo

[PhysicsOfTruth]

@gavinsstuff what do u mean mumbo jumbo? just cause u dont understand it? its facts u know man.

[gavinsstuff]

@PhysicsOfTruth come on, how is it fact. dont be silly. this is a mentally ill old gentleman who thinks he knows too much. have you ever actually studied real physics and not this silly hypnotic waffle. now go walk through a wall. ....at speed

[PhysicsOfTruth]

@gavinsstuff ur only saying dat because u dnt understand it, i can explain it 4 u.

[gavinsstuff]

@PhysicsOfTruth dude i understand, ,,, that doesnt mean its true. seriously use your brain. hes a deluded attention seeking old prick with a level of arrogance that needs to be greatly reduced.

[PhysicsOfTruth]

@gavinsstuff idk, ur not making any points here, like okay maybe its untrue, but what gives u the right to say its untrue, where's the evidence against the theory??? js like. i dnt want 2 argue just want 2 understand what makes u think its untrue?

[gavinsstuff]

@PhysicsOfTruth just say to yourself for a second that he is just talking bullshit and it might become clear to you. just because we are all made of the same stuff doesnt make us one.  but to be fair at least this nutter isnt detonating himself in a crowded market place. i guess hes relatively harmless.

[GreyAutumn]

@gavinsstuff so many comments, so little arguments. Silly, silly.

[gavinsstuff]

@GreyAutumn nah hes a fuckwit with too much to say

[amk212]

Utterly brilliant how Goswami merges science and spirituality. For those doubters, please read his book, "The self aware universe" with an open mind. I, for one, believe that these ideas will become mainstream in coming decades.

[UncannyRicardo]

@amk212

Yup they will, but not before the people (including scientists) have a major philosophical change of thought.

Most people, either willingly or unknowingly, still hold a "materialist" view of life. But indeed "idealist" views have been dominant in Eastern countries and have finally started to pick up on Western countries.

[msazk2404]

that picture he was talking about, with the hands drawing each other? neither hand is drawing the other.. the artist drew them.. and his consciousness is what manifested the hands on paper

[FeelOfFriction]

Psychedelics.

[ananiasacts]

@FeelOfFriction, If could only find a way to connect all of the world's exhaust pipes to the folks looking for someone to blow smoke up their asses we could solve two of societies greatest problems.

[EinSofVirtuoso]

I hope people will go from this guy to the paramount of Aurobindo, who explains it all as it is.

[ananiasacts]

I think life exists because it connects the present to the future better than causality alone. It's that simple. Minds exist because we live in a universe with physical laws, which means that sensory input could be used to guide behavior better than random actions. Understanding evolved because its a better basis for modeling the real world than emotional reactions. And fantasizing about cosy eternities is with us because minds that dream about better worlds are likelier to find them.

[Zeno1999]

I like the program "psychic detectives" where real psychic solving real world crime when detectives failed to go on further- true stories.

Many physicists today trying understand such phenomenon. QM does have model and including 'string theory.'

There is no free lunch as AG says .. in old school they say : "shakti is in the bhakti, not bhagat." .. meaning one must involve in the process wholeheartedly 110% to attain a different awareness to understand metaphysical reality .. no short cuts.

[ananiasacts]

Check out this video, he sums up my perspective: 7ImvlS8PLIo

My point is that you don't need all this bullshit to make sense out of reality, to have real value, find meaning in life, etc. About the only thing you need hokum like this for is to convince people that something like magic, gods, karma, psychic phenomenon, or other "magical thinking" is necessary to understand our world. It's just bunk, but people like it, and I tried to explain why I think they do in the previous reply.

[do0oma]

it's allllllll true... it is just what he call "consciousness" is what i call "GOD ALMIGHTY"

[doctorjay1976]

indeed

[RobMonty248]

@do0oma Yeup... as long as we use light with peace we evolove/ascend.

[TK501ST]

@do0oma Exactly. God is "The Great consciousness" or The Eternal consciousness.

Actually Dr Goswami is a Hindu and Hindus do believe in an Almighty Creator God!

Peace!

[danieljliversLXXXIX]

@TK501ST What makes you think that consciousness exists outside our world? Consciousness exists because there is something to be precieved. And where does this word "Great" come into play?

To say that "Hindus do believe in an Almighty Creator God" is an over-simplification. Hindus believe in many gods - Higher gods, lower gods, demigods, demons; some Hindu's focus on a particular god. And it means nothing at all if Hindu's believe in a god or not.

[FromThatShow]

@do0oma God is not consciousness. God is oneness and awareness. Consciousness separates. Consciousness implies the ability to make a choice. If there is a choice between one thing and another, then another must exist. If God only exists, there can be no other. Consciousness is the main purveyor of our illusory world and existence as a separate human body.

[ANDROID697]

@FromThatShow

You speculate incorrectly..If God is not Consciousness, Then that makes him lesser than his creation, not a God. Which also makes Him incomplete. And that leads to more complications, how can anyone have relationship with an impersonal feature? The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete,& because He is completely perfect,all emanatios from Him, such as this world, are perfectly equiped as complete wholes. He is the complete balance & all His parts. Oneness is nothingness!

[UrSoMeanBoss]

@do0oma and what you call GOD ALMIGHTY i call infinite consciousness.

[buttegowda]

@UrSoMeanBoss  What is devil then ?

[UrSoMeanBoss]

@buttegowda what do you mean? when i said that i didnt mean consciousness is my god, i say that the idea of god is actually our representation of consciousness. all knowing- its all collective knowledge. Alpha and Omega, it is everything that is (matter) and everything that can be (consciousness). etc etc etc..

[wolfboy714]

eeeeeeeeee

i smell a change in einsteins theory of e=mc 2

with putting the i (consciousness infront of e) and dividing them by the energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. Because the speed of light is very large in common units, the formula implies that any small amount of matter contains a very large amount of energy, that energy being th reality and the "i" consciouness being the self awareness of manifestation.

[doodlydo23]

best info on individual self empowerment and planet support at soisnessdotorg. good day to all.

[sonicsoul0]

hahaha, dude, tell them about THE PLAN. God's plan, the plan of consciousness, the destiny, the illusion yet reality of control....hahahahahaha, that will just MESS everybody up, please man, it'll be too funny.

[arsjaad1986]

It is possible now to bring messages to other creatures with your mind and that the one who is being messaged is open for communication.

The only problem is that people do not interpretate the message on line of conscious of the communicator.

Thats why an object can be translated in feelings or shapes or words.

In the future we all have the same collective consciousness or we can adapt so we can interpretate correctly

[Haliph]

Are you creating your own reality? If so help me do so too o.0

[arsjaad1986]

My dream is going to be professor Psychology and Philosophy

[teewangjay]

One can never observe anything without regarding that it is beeing observed. What you see in the mirror is a blend of what yoy want to se, what you don't want to see and what is really there..

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Answer: The egg.

Dinosaurs laid eggs long before chickens came to world.. We can only conclude that our consciousness has always been, we are just experiencing it and questioning it more now, than before.. Right?

[eddynor10987]

you cant prove that dinosaurs laid eggs you cant even prove that yesterday happend

[ananiasacts]

Why can't consciousness be an emergent property of creatures that has nothing whatsoever to do with the implementation? Like the character of a nation, it emerges from a complex mixture of history, economics, the present state of technologies, ideologies, and many more things. People, like neurons, connect themselves up in ways that work for them but also create an emergent phenomenon we call nations, states, and cities. Where was the personality of Paris before she emerged from the countryside?

[eddynor10987]

it all comes down to mathamatics being a lie that we have been taught like 1+1=2 your jus trying to figure something out n put up a wall take down the mathamatic wall people start living 4 now there not adding things 2gether u live in a mathamatic world sum1 has 2 lose if u dont live in mathamatic world u dont care the truth of it is who really cares do whatever you want your the 1 dat put up all the walls u can take them all down as well

[ananiasacts]

I think the fact that we can predict and measure effects like entanglement imply the math is correct. We might not know how to interpret a matrix of numbers that describes the state of some quantum system, but we can still use it to design complex systems that depend on those properties.

That everyone can do what they want goes without saying, but I don't see what our freedom has to do with figuring out how we, as biochemical machinery, do all of the amazing and inane things we can do.

[eddynor10987]

wat entanglement, i prob remember if u told me but wat gud wuld it do sounds like another wall? if you keep trying to figure stuff out wat good is it to go looking when it will never end unless thats what ur happy doing? the things in the outside world r solvable the the thing called maths couldnt even solve its own exsistance unless you beleived in ur own solution

[1990ricky1990]

please please forgive me for being rude, but I cannot decipher any meaning from what you write. I ask you to read your comment (to which this is a reply) aloud and think about how anybody could understand what you are trying to say.

For example ' I prob remember if u told me but wat gud wuld it do sounds like another wall?'.

Again I apologise for being rude, but it is frustrating to me that the trend on youtube seems to be - insightful comments, illegibly written.

[jaalul]

you are not being rude, i think your right.

he needs to reread his own comments.

[gausert123]

Great video!

[Erkki1000]

I'm afraid I have to agree with 1990ricky1990; I have an incredible degree of difficulty understanding the responses of eddynor10987 when he chooses to use improper English. I remind you"eddy" that we're NOT testing but actually trying to have a normal conversation. I'm sure it's not that difficult for you to type out the entire word, as using shortened form is just lazy.

[leolimks]

(3) How these distinctions are played out in their respective interpretations of say, the "uncertainty-principle" and the mere phenomenon of the "collapse of the wave function".

(4) And as such, how each worldview looks at the ontology and epistemology of macro reality, as well as micro reality at the quantum realm.

(5) Which will then lead you to be able to ascertain where and how the human brain takes its place, and comes into play in all the contexts and issues above.

[leolimks]

One way that would be most useful to anyone who finds some meaning after watching Goswami's YouTube clips, is to suggest that you get hold of this book and especially from Chapter 14 onwards, you will get an entire indepth and crystal-clear exposition of ....

(1) Cartesian concepts of quantum mechanics.

(2) "Consciousness" concepts of quantum mechanics.

[ananiasacts]

I couldn't make any sense of this. It just sounds like a lot of new age sophistry intended to somehow link the weirdness of quantum physics with our lack of a good theory explaining consciousness to "prove" (he can't stress enough how clear it all is) that we are all somehow part of the same one consciousness jesus-buddha-god force.

Honestly, I think there's more good information on a bottle of Dr. Bonner's Pure Castle Soap and it's a lot easier to follow too.

[eddynor10987]

all his trying 2 say life is like a gardener buying a seed he knows wat it will grow in2 but he wants to experience the joy of watching it grow, meaning u create everything around u but when we were young we were full of joy but thought this was 2 easy so we ourselves looked 4 a problem so we said wat they teaching at school is real but some people then went on to plant seeds that were based on fear rather then the joy of watching it grow! catch my drift??

[ananiasacts]

Perhaps if he used more mathematics a moron like me could figure it out. But I'm really lost when someone says something like 'we're all the same single thing.' It's obviously not literally true, but what does it even mean for it to be metaphorically true? It seems more like a way to justify not knowing something than a means by which we might see our universe more clearly.

[Zeno1999]

On energetic level everything is interconnected. Energy came first then it created matter.

So in a way when we let go of 'I' everything moves toward awarenes of energy fields that invisibly connect to all there is.

Mathematics may express such paradigm. Creative art comes b4 math. We use math to define what exist but math require rigourous principles which on the quantum level seems to get bit fuzzy.

So our own act to understand may interfere knowing ! Make sense ?

[ananiasacts]

No, it doesn't make sense. In my mind, math has nothing to do with our universe, gods, man, or anything else. It is a metaphysical edifice we've discovered that is entirely self-contained. We note that aspects of our world have properties that can be represented with math is all. This guy is trying to confuse the knowledge that we ourselves are metaphysical phenomenon of a different sort, and the weird interpretations of QM into a direct causal link between thought and reality. Pure bunk.

[Zeno1999]

I understand where u r coming from. Your logical reasoning is purely mathematical.

Dr. AG trying to extend scientific understanding into the realm that interconnect with theology/philosophy/metaphysic­s.

You can see how physics/chemistry/biology meet when we study heart and its function. Complex phenomenon require interdisciplinary approach.

[hollybird54321]

There is no matter only concioucness. Reality can only be what you think it is. Its your consciouse that (magically) dreams it into play. Where did that come from? How small is small how big is big? What is consciouse? Who are you? What makes things happen. What are feelings? Are they things where do they come from? What you think so shall be. Mind creats.

[ananiasacts]

@hollybird54321, Jibberish. If that were true we couldn't repeat experiments nor develop theories that can be expressed in mathematics. Consciousness is something created by our brains. Akin to color, or texture, or our internal conception of sound, it's just an attribute of the mind our brains are designed to grow: a virtual organ for turning all of that sensory input into the reality we experience--yes--but that does not suggest that the world outside that mind depends on us in any way.

[hollybird54321]

Like atracts like. Like magnets. If you believe something you are only going to see those things that support what you believe. Where someone can look at the same thing and see something else. What you believe to be is,until you have a new belief.

[hollybird54321]

Everything is energy. Their are many ideas that at one time were fact untill they were proven wrong so is a fact ever a fact? Mathematics still changes and continues until someone does another exparement and finds another way. Thought manifests into things so to speak. My brain is like a computer but i'm not my brain.

[ananiasacts]

@hollybird54321, You're just uttering meaningless comments. Everything isn't energy at the size and scale of the things in our lives. The quantum world isn't well enough understood to make that sort of claim about it. It's a system of counting possible outcomes to determine the probable ones is all. Math does not change. Errors are corrected, relationships between previously seemingly unrelated areas are discovered, etc. No brain is anything whatsoever like a computer. Amit is full of shit.

[UncannyRicardo]

@hollybird54321

Dont worry about ananiasacts. Like I said im my previous comment, some people are still "in denial" of the idealistic views. Indeed it is a really weird and bizarre look at life at first (it was to me), but it eventually sinks in.

[hollybird54321]

@UncannyRicardo Thanks!

[drsalka]

@UncannyRicardo bravo! much love

[UncannyRicardo]

I totally agree with you man, great to see scientists like Amit and others agree with us to.

[sweet00976]

Some famous teaching traditions- again I won't mention names...

?!?!

[32GaugeSlug]

Screw drugs, try meditation and exercise. These two combined are better than any drugs.

[KaligulaExMachina]

you act as if its impossible to do all 3

[32GaugeSlug]

Not atall, but drugs alter your neurological chemistry and in general do damage to your body. The only drugs that don't, imo, are the natural hallucinogens. But even then, they are to be treated with respect.

[MachoBMan]

Does this guy ever address the problem his ideas now face with Lund University's proof of inward outward waves. I think Dr. Milo Wolf talks about this alot. It would seem this, resolving the split between reletivity and quantum mechanics, would paint a deterministic universe, but i have look too much into it yet. Just curious if he addressed it or not.

To the girl in the video, to really experience what you are looking for, try Ecstacy to increase the connection with the people around you. Then on a different occasion try to smoke some Salvia to experience the real seperation from the oneness. You se, i heard you asking Amit, " why do i feel seperate, blah blah " well you were not really seperate yet.

[JuGgala22]

Amanita Muscaria is the key.

[elsargente]

the key to shitting/vomitting all over yourself and tripping balls for 12 hours. try smoking a little dmt instead.

[JuGgala22]

I agree that sometimes its pretty harsh! LOL... but depending of the dose... there no way I can find DMT where I live . Crack isn't even here yet!

[busheybushdawg]

This guy is full of shit, but I guess it sells a lot of books. There is no way to speak of the Tao it must be directly experienced. Don't let this charlatan confuse you, go and learn zazen or some type of contemplative practice to experience nonduality directly.

[bunninmonkey]

Again, someone who didnt bother to listen to what he's actually saying, or didnt bother to watch it through to the end. He says exactly the same thing...he says acceptance of the concept is only the first step, but enlightenment cant be learnt, it "must be given to you directly".

[busheybushdawg]

That is the problem with trying to equate the shifting conceptual world of the scientific community with the experience of nonduality.  No acceptance of a concept is necessary and will not lead you any closer to enlightenment which is beyond all conceptualization. So why not just skip this bullshit and learn how to "get it directly"

[bunninmonkey]

Of course acceptance is necessary. If someone doesn't accept the concept of oneness, or non-duality, then they're never going to experience it, or bother to learn how to get it directly.

Where-as by providing a scientific explanation, and marrying science and "religion" together, there's a chance that a whole load more people will think "Oh, hang on a minute, maybe there is something to this after all" and then get involved. It's just a different approach. An extra step.

[RanDosis]

You both still seem to feel seperate from each other...

though youre one and the same;)

[rjrichar]

There is an object which through our consciousness creates a subject. An ultimate dichotomy of two things. The point is that consciousness creates the dichotomy. Consciousness = Separateness / Reality = One

[derekveenhof]

you're dumb he talks about zazen in his book

[TadRapidly]

Want to become enlightened? Read "How to Handle Difficult People" by Murray Oxman and hold on for a wild ride!

[arnesonj25]

Funny that he made the referance after I typed this advaita comment!

[arnesonj25]

It seems like advaita would help with this understanding further!

[AleaGrant]

when we wish for man made things we take from the earth houses,cars,cloths and the list goes on and on.If that's enlightment I don't want it, careful what you ask for he's right try going deeper words would not allow

[StephinRazin]

Ive seen ppl like him. Their eyes. they light up with knowledge. It is enlightenment, but not in an I am better but just I wish to help others reach higher

[thurst4knowledge]
