  • religion, capitalism and sex caused these problems I think.

  • Look at how confused the scientist are at 3:10 why do they seem so lost? Because with all their learning and study they still realize that they are empty souls and they don't know why.They are told to have a dialogue within. False, They will remain lost and blind until they have a dialogue with The Lord of Glory and come to the realization that their lives are meaningless without a relationship with the one who gave them their mind and intellect and SOUL to begin with. We are body, mind & spirit

  • People are looking within to understand, but you must look without to know the truth. You will never have understanding without GOD. Man is bewildered and perplexed even in the most highly scientific and educated minds. If you don't know GOD then you are sitting in darkness and will be blind to the truth and to what the meaning of life is.We were "created" to know and love and be loved by The Eternal Creator whose wisdom is far beyond our understanding and comprehension without him.

  • Our consciousness is but a wave on an ocean. Each wave unique but no different from one another by nature....

  • There is something seriously wrong? Yeah i agree, but it has always been that way...

  • "Behold, in the land of the sane the integrated man is not King"- Aldous Huxley

  • It seems as though science is just beginning to figure out that which God has been trying to tell us all along through the Bible. We had fallen from our essence in this stagnant state of vanity(ego), and we will gradually keep falling into this abyss unless we learn to work together as one with love to collectively pull each other out.

  • @job11451 yes, the bible was just a message from probly aliens on how "they" think we should live OUR lives. even tho that sounds bad they acually did a good job. if only we had an ear that worked?

  • care for instead of benefitng from each other, ancient knowledge...... good that scientists are joining in..

  • If aliens did come down and watch the news, they would be getting the same incomplete picture of life on earth that all of us are getting. We are all being fed what the mainstream media wants us to know about our reality. The truth is that there is a great deal of good on earth as well but they generally don't cover those kinds of stories, only the ones that involve our base nature. Fear, subservience and lack of individuality are the traits those in power enforce to maintain control.

  • @Damienf77 thats to keep peopleing watching, feeding thier egos. emptying their wallets, purswading them. who (or what) is acually watching?

  • Thank you

  • Show us dont tell us, these guys have all the evidence and no actual facts these guys actually know no more and we!!

  • God can fill that emptiness and brings in its place an overwhelming peace that gives genuine joy at all times.

    Literally men do not need anything else aside from that which can only be filled by God.

    But God is not giving that to just everybody.

  • Excellent! So long awaited...those of us who study and teach spirituality and self improvement have known and taught this for a long time, for those who need scientific validation, it brings a sense of permission, that it is finally alright to believe what our spirits tell us is true. Now, perhaps, at last we can make the shifts that are necessary in human consciousness with science and spirituality as partners rather than adversaries.

  • @bhadradharma with every move enlightenment happening we grow stronger, soon, possibly, hopfully, 2012, our ego, our greed, will not have the strength to persevere.

  • What's wrong? Here it is....it's a question of 'validity'... the infinite universe has declared that we should exist and we are validated by that and that alone... to attempt to find personal validity elsewhere is to assume that one does not have it already... and in trying to find it elsewhere we ruin the planet and also ourselves. What validates everyone? Simply being... simply being here... be happy just to be...appreciate it!

  • @EckhartsArt Wrong, we exist because we see ourselves as existing. We create what we are.

  • love it

  • love it

  • It is only through a change in human consciousness that the world will be transformed... the personal and the planetary are connected. As we expand our awareness of body, mind, psyche, and spirit, so also will the world be changed. This is our quest as we explore New Dimensions... And we can DIG IT, BIG DADDY!

  • Emotional love is human driven.

    The love he speaks of is the love in terms of the universe.

  • sounds like nubianqueen707 needs to expand their awareness... love is the highest vibration of energy, emotions arise within this field... stop separating everything with your dualistic right and wrong belief traps... ΩΩ• • •• ••• ••••• ••••••••¿¿

  • Thought provoking.

  • Our mind and spirit is boundless and limitless...it is our id(ego) that creates our limits. Only through clarity, can we realize that it is our destiny to be one with GOD. Open your mind, open your heart, open your soul...

  • Well said! Science will discover brian and body are but an illisuion of reality, mind spirit and soul are reality and a collective consiosness, self awareness is all we need to take the next step.

  • This is my passion as a young college student, I am writing papers to help explain to my teachers these concepts. Expanding consciouness and the importance of unifying. Thank you so much for posting this.

    Much LOVE from FL

  • Right on. Thxs Jax.

    Love to everyone: We are ONE.

  • If everyone can be responsible for there own internal conscious evolution, forgetting current paradigms , forgetting the ego & continue always moving forward with the right intent and love. This is the path for humanity. 'All That Is' is truly fractal in nature. We need to move in the right direction.

  • I am a human becoming, help me become.

  • Forget about that vodafone/Mercedes sign and watch it again,?. this time listen what Laitman and prof. Laszo say...this is what you should be getting... ;)

  • magical might

  • Moving and true. The interdependent origination of all phenomena is one of the pillars of many ancient Eastern philosophies. Love the video, and thanks for posting it.

  • It starts within and one person at a time puts the wheels in motion. This video touches a chord.....

  • I used to believe that no man is an island. Then I realized that every man is an island because of how we all perceive the world around us. Now I'm beginning to realize that although each of us see each other from atop our little islands we are still connected beneath the seas.

  • You speak mystical words of wisdom.

  • @crowboots1 : Nicely put. Similar to the line I once heard that only thing separating mater is the illusion of space time.

  • i disagree with the negative conclusion of removing oneself from the world..

    i can observe and learn..

    i cannot interact..

    i take this with the bad for the view it gives.

    my view is my most valuable commodity.

    i can see everyone else's interactions and can spot bad points and good points..

    all intents and purposes i can hack and manipulate the layer below the psyical interaction by controlling the interaction.

    creation using pre-excisting constructs.

  • 5:00 - 5:21 .. that is awesome. i knew this when I was a kid at 4 yrs old (20 yrs ago)....really thought it was precognitive dreams

  • Yes, its time for change !

  • I am ready to work with you

  • Has that channel been aired? And is it available online?

    Anyone? Anyone knows the info?

    Thanks

  • very nice guys....well done

  • superdiza...aren't these humans primitive?

  • Yes. Though they are mostly ignorant, dumb and bereafted of original thinking. Renouncing their true identity as creator of their own reality and mind. It seems as thoughthe sad truth of the matter is that Human Must be controlled through some-sort of a memtic mechanism, otherwise void of heart in their actions or minds no large scale civilization oriented cooperation can emerge.

    Zeitgeist was right. We must individually choose. Fear or Love.

  • The voice of reason....I wondered when you'd reply!

    Look at the fanatical Muslims, Christians and Jews - don't they realise there might not be a God? No, no......that's too disturbing for their tiny minds to comprehend......

  • Unfortunately, anyone watching this probably wouldn't get too much unless they have already looked into what these people are trying to say.

    In any case, there really is a revolution in consciousness that is unfolding right now. If I were to say it simply, we as humans have grown to distinguish ourselves from "nature," stirred up some amazing developments and problems because of that, and are now reaching new levels of consciousness that are both discriminatory and integrative.

    How exciting!

  • This is 1) Brilliant and 2) True

    -regardless of the opinions of those who cannot yet perceive it.

  • I'm glad i found this on your channel.

  • Well put joelito101.Religion offers a shoulder to cry on which is o.k. because it makes one feel better-for a short while,where as Kabbalah is a science of wisdom.Theres no need to cry your heart out every Sunday or whenever over spilled milk.Situations change.Peace to ya'll...

  • Please no one take this comment in favor or against religions. Religion has been overtaken by greed. As long as it deals with money, greed can easily invade. But it is because of religion that the story of Jesus and the Message of God came to us up to 2000 years later.

    I want to make the following declaration:

    I am a citizen of this planet. You are a different version of me, literally. If I Love you I Love myself, and viceversa. I choose to love you all, no more fear, please.

  • do you love me because you want me to ask "why can't i see the unity between me & you" or do you love me because you want me.

  • I love you becuase the alternate is fear, and I don't fear you in any way, so I love you.

  • im sure i keep seeing u on different pages man, is ur name to do with tool?

  • tool is what led me to kabbalah brother!

  • the website for the ashlag institute is obsolete...? anyone know if this project is on-going, or what? any info?

  • We are one in the spirit. And the time is now for us to work together..One mind, one body, one spirit.Let your light shine!!!

  • Consciousnous of that which exists is of great significance indeed. But I have to say this: believing all life is just as important, or even more important, then your own life will definitely result in a feeling of emptiness. It is ethical and good for self-esteem to view yourself as special. You should not need the approval of others to live. It is an inherent right to live your life as you so desire, but as long as you refrain from making that decision for others (i.e. by using force).

  • Nice...Nice...=^.^=

  • Thank you for the share.

    excellent video.

  • I literally just finished reading the book, A New Earth by Erckhart Tolle. And THEN I sit here and within minutes. Without even consciously making an effort, I find this video! And it echos the book, and it's backed by scientist.

    Coincidence?

    One Love.

  • incredible!

    they are so right

  • the entire universe could be part of one greater entity, that also acts as part of another even greater entity.

  • The brain is the pathway for consciousness to communicate with the physical?

  • the different countries are like different organs , the commodities that each country produce and need to survive are just like parts of the body that need vitamins and minerals to fucntion/survive correctly, the roads and railways are like concrete veins and information pathways everything that happens on earth happens in our bodies.

  • And All that I provide, As the American Soldier, are the flesh and bones of work performed.

    What are my flesh and bones worth?

  • the earth is a body and we are the immune system....

  • lol. yeah. and we work wrong, because we destroy the inner organs of the earth :D

  • but we've become a cancer

  • In any case, we are a power, but we need to change and shift our perspective and become more trans-paradigmatic, as in transcending and including what we know to be true in a way that is integral.

  • I don't believe science can undertand conscousness. I think it's like trying to see one's own eye. You can't see the unseeable. Likewise you can't know the unknowable. Science works through thought, observatioin and understanding. Universal consiousness involves no thought, so to try to understand it can only lead you nowhere.

  • I'd like to say that I agree. I'd say, in addition to this that universal or transuniversal consciousness (if there are multiverses) uttelry transcends and utterly includes all things that arize due to compression, including thoughts. If viewed from non-dual big mind, self is just a what ever we call it that arizes in this big mind. That last one is actually a modification of the zen buddhism's states of dropped-off bodymind. I'll send you a link to an interesting channel.

  • You can examine your own eye by looking in a mirror. Also you can study its anatomy and how its neurophysiology interconnects with the distributed brain system. It is my view that being able to understand even a limited amount of such things helps us to understand a facet of conscious experience. I am yet to be convinced that science cannot explain consciousness in the '3rd person' perspective, or rather as a function of the brain.

  • Of course you can see your eye in the mirror. What I'm getting at is this. Everything in the universe is, in essence, one entity. That entity has no form and is consciousness. How can thought (form) explain consciousness (formless)? I believe consiousness can only be understood through awakening out of thought into thoughtless Nirvana/Elightenment.

  • I see merit in both views: third-person methodology and first as well as second-person methodology.

  • All this is explained very well in Eckhart Tolle's books. The Buddha knew this thousands of years ago, as did other spiritual people. Humanity needs to wake up from the illusion of seperateness, the illusion of self. Wake up to the present moment and stop trying to get to some time in the future where you'll be happy. You'll never arrive because the ego always wants more, it's never satisfied with the present moment. If we don't we'll end up killing ourselves through the greed of material gain.

  • great comments :)

  • there is hierachy in life dude, enegetic, photonic, molecular. like he said, take a look at how all elements have balanced themselves -well were..

    0_o lol

    how can we percieve linear time if this hierachy is not present?

  • If you want to believe in a "high power" go for it... but the fact is, is it doesnt exist - Deus Est Homo.

  • Not higher power, but higher stages of development that leave a trace in the shape of increase of consciential depth and smallness in physical dimension. No bible/desert-god in sight, though. Deus est homo. You are quite right. Sense the I-amness. It is right now. Now THAT is god.

  • Good stuff...

  • Sorry about that LOL. It's in Latin, a semi-dead language. It's semi-dead because it hasn't had native speakers for a long time, for 1300 years. However, it has been preserved as a language of science and learining and officially used by the Catholic Church. "Quomodo esse sine dolore?" means, how to be without suffering. In Italian it would be :"Come essere senza soffrire?". It was not my business to say it without translation, again sorry for the inconvenience. I just wanted to peak interest.

  • Think of it this way...

    Consciousness < Brain < Body < Environmental existence.

    The consciousness recieves data from the brain of which ecieves data from the body that recieves data from the environment.

    If the brain was to cease existence, you are not dead. You are not non-existent. Whatever is within the area of conscious existence is unknown for the current time. We have yet to discover what is beyond the physical world.

  • have you ever wondered how small something can be before it no longer has a consciousness? sometimes I can look at an insect and imagine the way it thinks. the way it experiences the world. even the tiniest living thing.

  • Information flows and structures become more complicated, but span (the number of holons/entities/units/creature­s/beings actually becomes less and less.) becomes exponentially smaller, as there are much less multi-cellular organisms than bacteria (on the Erath and in the rest of the universe, similarly, less atoms than sub-atomic particels) Also, evolution can be like this too: energy, particles, atoms, molecules/chrystals, bacteria, eucaryotes, multi-cellular, humans, families, tribes, etc.

  • We cannot percieve the 4th dimmension as to the way it is mean't, due to the limited processing of our brains. However, our pure self existence - the consciousness, is not limited. The brain will percieve specific data, it will record data into a specific format of which it was mean't to read. If we enhanced the brain, we could percieve more data. However, naturally, our brains will only signal a given amount of data to our pure self existence - the consciousness.

  • The sub-conscious mind cannot become self-aware of itself, whilst the conscious mind can. Think of the sub-conscious mind as a computer processor. It processes specific data and stores it within a given capacity. However, the conscious mind is attached to the brain - the sub-conscious mind. It recieves data from the brain. If the brain dies, no data is being recieved from the brain, thus; no perception of the SPECIFIC functionality of the initial perception of the brain. I mean...

  • The consciousness becomes a part of the personality, no longer becoming self-aware of it's initial existence. 

    You see, there is no such thing as being non-existent. There are numerous cases of which describe the passing through to a second nature upon death (NDE's for instance).

    Anyway, more importantly.. the brain signals data to the consciousness. The brain itself is not the consciousness, as it is the act of the sub-conscious mind.

  • The brain is a processor. The consciousness is pure self, the initial and inevitable self. I felt amazing after figuring out the consciousness. However, the issue with consciousness, is consciousness itself.

    We, as humanity, have hid the consciousness. If you fail to comprehend this idea, observe existing stereotypes, nationalities and more importantly; names with assigned characteristics. A name for instance, will feature a personality...

  • Ya but how can we distinguish an experiment of the brain and the real thing? I mean OBE a person feels is amazing but when an experiment does it it still is not the real thing.

  • Luckily, no. This has nothing to do with the mindless and dangerous cult of scientology. However, it has everything to do with integral consciousness - one large step beyond post-modernism, two large steps beyond metaphysical materialism. Integral theory includes within itself as much as possible regarding the sum of beneficial and wise human endeavors. Various eastern and western religions have in some way contributed to integral consciousness. The new age movement IS NOT synonymous with it.

  • Thanks. I must say that since my last comment i have learned a little extra, so it really seems that there is something to it.

    It is really so obvious that it can be hard to see, for me at least :-)

  • Understandable. It really has to do this states of mind that people are in and can be within, and stages of human development that have various levels of wisdom and trancendence from previous levels which have less relevant information, to put it simply.

  • It's all being talked about. It was not acted out. If yes, then why?

  • A wonderful reminder of our place in the universe. Thank you.

  • 4% of the population are psychopaths who do not feel love or guilt or have remorse for their actions. This percentage is growing, because psychopaths can be made through abuse, and this is what the psychopaths in power do with their children because they see conscience as a weekness and a disadvantage. How do we deal with evil among us?

  • with love

  • Good answer, but I don't think that will fix the problem by itself unless you meant with tough love. We still must be aware of these people and protect ourselves from them. We can show love and protect ourselves at the same time, right?

  • It is not us or we that behave very badly. It is them - our leaders. They are inhuman and undermining and detroying our culture and traditions intentionally.

  • well at least in democratic countries, the people have the power, but in the state that the people are in.. in addiction with their needs, egoist, shortsightedness... they are bind, mute, & deft guided by a false leader to a false path if you give the masses awarness & Consciousness... the leaders will be obliged to listen & act, and thats where everything will change....

  • You are both so damn right.

  • Yeah, that's a nice video. A little over the top, but probably not even that, just right, as in PLEASE LISTEN.

  • Also, this kind of integral consciousness is supposed to increase in popularity, as it is the next step, after post-modernism!!!

  • couldn't have said it better myself. Art is ready for a new renaissance.

  • Post-modernism doesn't have pathologies only in art, but also in academia. The pathology is narcissism and self-referencialism, while integral consciousness is a referencialism towards all of useful cultural, spiritual and scientific wisdom. Integral consciousness is the only level of consciousness that sees itself as only one of levels of consciousness...

  • no, they are real seminars are real. and they arent theories anymore.

  • *Unification Theory of Human Psychology.

  • Everyone looks as though they are listening to a eulogy. The message is not lost on me I just think it must be imbued with a conciousness that matches it's intrinsic value. Those of us who have enjoyed sexual union with pleasure feels this tremendum for a few glimmers. The joy of laughter and of learning here seems to be predicated on pain..How do we change this curvature to one that is uplifting, still challenging, and free of dogmatic altruisms that create conflict? love Richard

  • This is the truth, without the believe. becuase belief is an opinion of faith without reason. This view is not new or deep to understand its time has come and for 3000 years the one that held simailar view or part of were killed or laught at and push aside.

    What is so hard to see that if we living souls then the living planet has a living soul too, and this soul is all one large soul. its the body that seperate us not the soul.

  • There is a reason why we have an ego. This is because we live in a violent world. It keeps us alive. The only way man is to change is by an external force larger then ourselves. Changes usually happen over long periods of time but drastic changes may happen in the twinkling of an eye.

  • The reason we have an ego is because we can reason.

  • Ego is both a hubris as well as a limited mental construct, but we still tend to "use" it. Non-duality is truer than the ego. The ego disappears with death. Non-duality, which is synonymous with emptiness, spatiousness, lasts forever, and matter is the illusion that continually arises in a holographic fashion within it. Energy consciousness is what some like to call it. Perhaps, some people who believe in god, can equate the nondual spirit of which I speak, with god the creator, perhaps not.

  • Most important about meditation: avoid laxity and excitation, but encourage nonjudgemental introspection. Laxity is a derivative of delusion, excitation is a derivative of complusive desire, while introspection is a derivative of intelligence, according to buddhist psychology, as it is referred to. Therefore, cultivate, at fisrt, the awareness of the field of all tactile sensations and thereafter, probe the mind with laser-like accuracy that is free from the vices of laxity and excitation.

  • I feel the anguish of my call It seems impossible to haul A higher order reaching tall Rocking clear a blocking wall I can't stop now I must not stray It's only just a thread away To follow that authentic ray Would surely gratis this my way In spirits speed I must embrace before I leave this restless place Inspired to search the cosmic space The chance to gently touch Gods face
  • You need a team of top-ranked researchers to figure that out? lol...

  • Brilliant comment. Namaste.

  • I dont think it was a matter of explaining the matter but getting people to relate and spark a fire, possibly.

  • We are non-separate!!!!!! They finally got it...

  • Youll recongsie when you are out of your body because you will get lots of whirling whistling sounds aroud u and feel like you are you are in a storm or something. Dont be afraid though come to recongnise this feeling, to know that you are succesful and your conciouness is out of your body. You can now travel at the speed of thought and go where ever you like. Your imgination is your limits now.

  • heaven and god is on the inside it really is, we have so much power untapped, calm your mind and listen to your soul, listen to the hums and listen to the universe.

  • i am a ccc.

    i am a conscious co-creator of reality.

  • Hildegard of Bingen wrote extensively of this in her visionary works, especially in Liber divinorum operum written between 1163-1173. She writes of mankind as having the immense responsibility of being "co-creators" of our world which continues on throughout the generations. She also writes of the elements being in uproar due to their inability to remain in the order intended for them because of human inability to understand the interconnectedness and harmonies of existance and work within them.

  • There is significantly more communication in todays world, the more ideas are shared in a sane and period fashionable manner, the more we share each others problems and resolutions for success and achievement the better and corrections of issues follow. unfortunetly not everyone has access to such revolation

  • interesting, once i was lying in the bed,then i tried not to think about anything,and this strange buzz,low frequency sound came into my head.After some time,i found myself somewhere else(my mind),this was soo wierd,then i just fell asleep.I tried to do the same thing the following nights,but no luck so far.

  • did anyone have an experience like that??

  • I had an out of body experience one time. Admittedly this was a result of overdose on lsd. It was incredible (not an endorsement) but since then I have been trying to reach that state through meditation like what you describe (reaching thoughtlessness), and it works a bit, i just need to practise. There's some good vids on youtube about the chakra system i found very interesting,

  • yeah the low hum is a frequency change to another realm. Ive been to the shadow realm, the 5th dimemsion. And also i tested to see if i cud do it and i ended up in a slight frequency above us the astral, i even managed to move when iwas there and look out of a window i was made of light. Whenu do this uget like a whirling whistling like sounds allover your body its amazing. And can be done atwillu need to draw all ure chakras into a point inure head and relax, u can then with intent go anywhere.

  • what your saying is interesting,now about this low frequency buzz-firstly it took me some time to hear it, but now everytime i close my eyes and concentrate i can hear it.Can you tell me what to do next?To enter another realm?It happened to me 1 only, but i dont know how to repeat it.

  • i too have had this experience,1st the buzzing then i was floating around my old school also i had an experience where it was asif i was being shown how my mind was working,sounds weird i know but its true.

  • yes, i experienced the same buzz. it occurred to me that i might be able to think of a word and let it travel the length of this buzz that seemed to be going to the center of my brain. i thought of the name "benjamin franklin" and let the name travel along the buzz. it immediately produced an image of the man. i decided to try the word, "God". I felt the thought travel along the buzz. it "hit" my brain and i began to shake. i saw a blue light. i felt like i was leaving my body. i stopped it.

  • This is very interesting,i belieev that through a meditation we can access the higher plane

  • Yes.

  • its ok my friend this happens to me loads. Anytime i want also, I visited a golden orb of our soul on the 5th dimension our mind can go anywhere we like. Best i find when u are half asleep half awake. Your aware of your body in the bed but ure mind is elsewhere :). Happens to my mum also we talk on it and tell each other our epxerinces. Its changed my life, its amazing and anyone can do this at will because we are all one!

  • Thank you for posting this much needed video... 5* and fav'd...

  • 100% wonderful.

  • I really thank you for bringing me to this!

  • Let this video be able to open hearts all over the world!!!

  • We are going from galactic to universal consciousness :D

  • mind carries us beyond the dual, thought stops and life begins

  • We stand not at the end of the world but at the beginning.

  • its time to start to do things instead of talking.

    It s time for as to evolve.!!!!!!!!!!

  • its time to start to do things instead of talking.

    It s time for as to evolve.!!!!!!!!!!

  • yeah thats all im saing is consider it as it its fascinating to ponder, just dont take anything too seriously. i think it is a human need to have an explanation, just saying maybe the universe has no reason to satisfy our mortal desires for things to have a meaning. it will just keep on going becuase it is. but that doesnt mean we should stop researching the universe. we, the universe have a limited time to discover as much as we can about ourself, before we slip back into unawarness

  • This video has proven a fruitful ground for "hard science" vs. humanism. I try to be compatible with both. Yes, as a society we should seek knowledge of our true nature. But our true nature is infinite, just like the universe. So it appears as a mystery to us, and yes we should seek to unfold the mystery, but this is the fun of it all, the mystery will always be there so we can grow. I only protest "knowledge" as a materialist reduction, because this contradicts the limitlessness of things.

  • Upanishades say that soul is a particular consc. joined with a particular person and his brain and it lives also apart from it.once brain dies it( soul) continues to live independantly.

  • art and spirituality (consiousness) come together on youtube.

    Thanks for posting.

    A nice leftbrain (rational)highlight. Whatever path one follows sincerely in surrenderence, it comes from and leads to the same. The heart of the universal consiousness. Hunab Ku, Ohm,God, etc.

    Separation/fragmented=relative views is the ground for miscreating intents, thoughts, actions.

    I think this one is real fruitfull contribution. May many get inspired and get into the heart experience..

  • wow i knew all of this through the bible and people act like this is new

  • "Universal love" would have been better served with a large helping of truth. Love needs to be the basis of change, but if we are to change as a "universe," we would be better served with changing ourselves first - that can be accomplished, in part, by getting real and allowing truth to come into our lives, no matter how we perceive it to help or harm us. "The truth will set you free" - this freedom will allow us to do just about anything...

  • Lol we indevidualists will just nuke everything up , not on our planet.

  • to answer the 1st questions "why is the meaning of life hidden from us and why do we feel empty?" that becuase life is meaningless and empty. just a random strange event in a random and strange universe.

  • robertwc... By that logic our lives could just as easily be the linchpin to everything else finding peace & unity & we could just as easily play a really important role in the cosmic design... in a random and strange way, of course.

  • true but have you ever heard of Occam's razor? basically it goes something like, assume as little as possible when explaining a phenomenon. my explanation assumes less and is alot simpler. you say "By that logic our lives could just as easily be the linchpin to everything....." but that would not be just as easy, there would need to be a "how?" and a "why?" whereas saying there is no explanation does not require more explaining.

  • But you don't really believe that...you got out of bed in the morning didn't you

  • beleive life has no meaning? ya i believe that but it isnt a bad thing to make me depressed and not get out of bed. i dont have the need to feel like i am important and have some significants in some great scheme. no purpose to being here but if you are here, now, you may aswell take advantage of it, thats how i see it

  • I can see where you're coming from considering that most of science has been dedicated to explaining away mind and spirit and it has succeeded to a point...how you regard the meaning of life depends greatly on whether you take a materialist standpoint in my opinion. The fact is that materialism is dying thanks to quantum physics. As for us being important in the greater scheme of things, sure we are, scientifically, by the fact that we're not separate from anything else in the universe

  • one day all this will be gone (the earth, us, ect). the universe will not remember that once it looked upon itself and new itself, and will go on as it always did, unaware. it will be as if we never existed. we are about as important and significant as the fleas on a dog.

    what is there to suggest any different?

  • sucks to be you robert. your pillow must be really comfortable.

  • We exist in one big Unified Field. This is the Superstructure of the Universe, as revealed by light traced from the earliest moment of the Big Bang. At the fundamental level of existence (called the Planck scale), everything is just pure potential - it is abstract, it is information. We live in a thought universe. The universe vibrates, waves of energy pulsate through it. I've run out of space here- suffice that when you die, your individuality remains as wave function of potential, infinite.

  • oh, im sorry, i wasnt aware the big bang theory had been scientifacally proven. i have a theory of my own. there was no beggining there is no end, we are all stuck in one constant present moment that constantly changes, the matter that i am made of always has existed and always will, but it constantly changes state and when you die you are no longer aware of your existance. it will be just as it was before you were born. it is no stranger of a theory than spontaneous existence from nothing.

  • And are Newton's Laws scientifically proven either? No, but like the Big Bang theory they explain things better than any other theory. And I agree with you that there is no end/beginning,I didn't say the Big Bang was all there was. I also agree that we live in the NOW. I think our difference is over what the self is. You say we're "stuck" here, but really thats just from the perspective of the ego. You assume that "you" didn't exist before birth, but we can't prove it, likewise for death.

  • I agree with CorporalW44 on this one

  • Robertwc82, you say: "..one day all this will be gone"

    Not if conscious intelligence has anything to say and do about it!

    We will persist. We will survive the heat death of the Universe.

    We will begin the war by defeating our own biological shortcomings. We will win by defeating aging and death.

  • Intelligence will permeate the Multiverse.

  • yeah i guess, that is not impossible

  • My being 'important' wasn't exactly what I meant. If you believe its random & for no reason, we could still have this unique gift in us, just waiting to evolve like our self-reflective consciousness did & for just the same 'random' reasons you gave? Evolution has produced matter that is conscious after all the other steps before it! Consciousness evolves into something just as it evolved from something! Maybe for matter to continue this evolutionary path will take our 'conscious' participation?

  • Look around you, and you may yet realize who and what you are. Your amazing potential. To have had your essence forged inside in the hearts of stars, to have evolved hands to feel and eyes to see, ears to listen. After being nearly eradicated off the face of the planet by meteors, you've had the ability to survive the toughest of ice ages, powerful droughts and dangerous moments of starvation.

  • You have discovered fire. You've learned to form ideas about the world, becoming increasingly more aware of yourself. You have learned to pass down information beyond genetics, via language, literature and now the Internet. You have looked into the past and learned to reason for the future. You've created technology and inspired yourself throughout generations...In our times, through intelligence and technology, you are exponentially becoming.

  • We are surrounded by insurmountable opportunities. The Universe has found a way to reason about itself, and we are experiencing that new evolutionary step, one which does not seem to have any particular singular point of importance, but to which we can give value as sentient beings, if we choose to. There is no meaning to life, because meaning does not exist without life. Its not meaningless in the sense that it is irrelevant, but in the sense that there is nothing there to give it meaning.

  • i can agree with that

  • Thoughtware, thats a good point about how life and meaning do not exist without each other. And I commend you for putting the history of human development in perspective, it makes one optimistic indeed

  • Thank you Pakkawatu. I wonder what you'd think about the idea of Universal Evolution I wrote at this website:

    thoughtware (dot) tv / videos / show /350

    You'll have to format the url, removing the spaces and adding the dot, but you'll be able to see the video description with my thoughts there :)

  • for a right brainer this video is nonsense.... no logic, no facts, nothing concrete is said.

    for a left brainer this movie is full of good energy, intentions and reveals a new counsiousness emerging in thinking people.

    interllectual enlightenment is NOT enough. WALKING the path is now next step fellow beings.
