What Is Consciousness? - What The Bleep Do We Know

[Kikarok]

What a load of mystic bullshit.

[IIemzyII]

I love the end hahahaa.

[xSheepz]

whats that eminem track at the start? i cant remember what it was called lol.

[matthias2986]

without consciousness nothing would exist, i feel at the bottom of everything consciousness is an eternal force that exists because nothing is impossible - rather it is impossible to have nothingness. forget about beginnings for a moment, time is a product of the conscious so consciousness did not need time to exist. the only difference between you and I is consciousness viewing itself selectively. but everything is part of the whole - this whole is consciousness.

[matthias2986]

@matthias2986 consciousness is growing we see this as life, you ever wonder why things WANT to live? life is difficult, even a single celled organism STRIVES to continue. Why? why not just die? death is easy, death is so much easier then TRYING to live... this drive to continue i believe to be conscious force. We are one in the same, we are an expression of consciousness, we are a product of it. Try to describe a God? consciousness IS GOD.

[matthias2986]

@matthias2986 maybe not like a god you read about in bibles, but hey they did they best they could to describe what we are still trying to describe to this day.

[abeerwar]

i thing its the matrix we are born in

[Kostly]

Consciousness is how information, in coherent ways, gets passed between one "entity" and another. I think John Hagelin says it best when he posits the unified field. Out of that field, we see the quantum realm organizing itself in such a way that allows atoms to form from it. Then MORE information is introduced and those atoms, based on the information that formed them and the information that keeps them whole, gets passed between them, based on temporality. Conception is good evidence.

[themarketstore]

2:28 THAT guy makes sense, i have been theorizing myself and came to very similar conclusions.

[matthias2986]

@themarketstore consciousness is growing, i can feel it, i feel the same as you, and i am not you. but we are part of the same whole. today i watched my g/f say everything i was thinking - its amazing because we practice this for years and now we are very good at it. its truly amazing when you let go of all the brainwashings. i used to ask Why anything rather then nothing? then one day i realized nothingness was impossible.

[Ssddftw]

i believe that consciousness is an element of the universe, an elusive one, but an element nonetheless. if you look at some of the studies done on conscious altering drugs, such as dmt, people often speak of not knowing where they begin or end, seemingly becoming one with an infinite realm and going on to say that they felt like they were almost coming home. to me it sounds like they are talking about where we go after life, the realm being that of pure consciousness, an ocean

[matthias2986]

@Ssddftw how can we all come to this same conclusion? i had this experience you spoke of since i was a child every few years, this year twice. i get into deep thought and i get spatial distortion that sneaks up on me, the room feels too small to hold me, and then wildly increases to the point where i cant tell where my body is i dont even think i have a body at this point and my mind goes into some kind of epiphany mode where i feel like i understand it. and no, its not drug induced.

[saharDJAMS]

Consiousness is asking the wrong questions while being in the right space.

where am I,when did I get here,why I am here,(who or what is, god) as if we started devaulving(going backwards)do to asking the wrong question,naturaly we started looking in wrong places,which r needed to find the answers(exprimental cancelation) for that right glorious question,.......which could only b,..who am I ?and realising we r so insignificant,do we realy deserve to have such big eyes(consciousness)and b blind.

[donedogger]

Bubbles sucka

[crackzillakilla]

Consciousness is everything or it is nothing. We are all god.

[jburidan]

este es un video de la charlataneria de Masaru Emoto, puro wishful Thinking.

This is a video of Masaru Emoto Nonsensical stupidity. I Know I´m Physicist

[GrowingTreeAz]

Energy is Mass, Demension, Radiation, and Consciousness. Consciousness carries inofmation from one brain cell to next. Consciouness enables brain cells to communicate with each other. With out consciousness our brains or the nervious systems of any kind could not evolve. That is why the double slit experiment works the way it does.

[matthias2986]

@GrowingTreeAz everybody that is not afraid to sound crazy in so many words says the same thing... Interesting...

[ibizarise]

Consciousness is what ever you wanted to be

[waypor1]

Physics is an attempt conceptually to grasp reality as something that is considered to be independent of

its being observed. In this sense one speaks of ‘physical reality’. In pre-quantum physics there was no

doubt as to how this was to be understood. In Newton’s theory, reality was determined by a material

point in space and time, in Maxwell’s theory by the field of space and time.

Albert Einstein

[raoskaos]

The answer is certainly not New age bullshit.

[TheFourthHouse]

@raoskaos Not that I support the New Age movement, but it's interesting to at least hear about multiple theories. Hell, if you went back in time to ancient Greece and told the most brilliant minds of that time all about the quantum world and the strangeness that occurs in it, they would probably dismiss what you say as bullshit. It's obvious that we're coming to a new era of science, and new methods and ideas must be taken up in order to explain the new questions of our time.

[raoskaos]

@TheFourthHouse

Yeah, but these people misrepresent science. They simply don't do science, they are doing pseudo-science and pseudo-philosophy mixed together.

And why? Because it's a religion.

[captaingorgonzola]

consciousness is being aware of your own existence, at least thats how i understand it

[firefloat22]

Consciousness is just a by-product of uniquely structured chemistry. We have the rare opportunity of enjoying it. Time should not be wasted dallying in superstitions and embracing irrational laws that paralyze life. Google Doe’s Account.

[revolt81]

@firefloat22 doe's account website offers nothing, no verification, no links to any other sources, nothing credible and then asks us to buy a book...

[Vondurr]

Before arguing about it you should probably explain what you mean by "consciousness", since that word can mean a lot of different things to different people.

Anyhow, just a heads up for anyone that doesn't already know. If you're watching this clip, or the entire movie for that matter, to try to understand more about yourself or the world around you - you should know that one of the "experts" is an ancient spirit being channeled by a psychic.

You decide whether to trust this.

[ikonsouthamerica]

@Vondurr i think you're refering to the secret.

[BabylonFading2012]

Sounds like New Age propaganda. Within the physical realm, our CNS contructs our perception of ourselves and the world via the activity and modulation of electrochemical signals that are shaped by incoming environmental-stimuli and epigenetic expression. God designed our Biological computer (mind) which is limited within this physical world. David Icke and Wilcock were put into business by the elite to spread this intelligent sounding New Age babble, in order to sway ppl away from God.

[TriodeGuy]

@BabylonFading2012 "David Icke and Wilcock were put into business by the elite to spread this intelligent sounding New Age babble, in order to sway ppl away from God."

Sounds like a conspiracy theory.

[nickharvey7]

I believe a greater understanding of the dynamics of light and time will explain the paradoxes of quantum physics without consciousness coming into the equation.

[frollun2]

alright... basically i want to be that guy that appears at 2:28 lol. what do you have to study? i am VERY interested in this type of stuff but i don't know where to start.

[johnt49]

I imagine there's a switch, and if you flip that switch. The thinking mind goes off what's left after you flip the switch consciousness

[miguelmouta]

O K , and what is 10 million years time ?

Does it goes for only one Universal Past ?Are all the past , and all the futures only one thing ? What is limitation concept ?

[johnt49]

if you could turn off the thinking mind. You also turn off past, future and all concepts, you're left in pure consciousness.

[miguelmouta]

So , by your statement, consciousness

never exist, or cant be perceived, because its not ouside the perceiver,and I exist because I am  time , indeed.

[johnt49]

consciousness is the only thing that does exist. It is the perceiver. watch your thoughts for a few minutes and then ask what is watching the thoughts,you are not the thoughts. You are the watcher. you are not time, you are consciousness.

[miguelmouta]

Thats the touble with philosophy; or dogmas; never look against the against.

Im doing time , because watching only existsI with time. Existence implicates being one with time, and that time may exist in any lenght ,and niche, the being is.

[miguelmouta]

Brain Power can do things science , and stablishment, denies. Pure counsciousness doesnt exists. It is

a religion or philosophic ,or educational industry merchandasing. Fake. Wake up man !

[johnt49]

consciousness doesn't exist, if that's true, then,what is aware of the words you reading right now on the computer screen?

[miguelmouta]

This brain. Better saying, the molecules, then the cells of it, wich are operating at this phase.

[jrc3ky]

@johnt49 sorry, that was a dumb comment. Consciousness is the field everything comes from, everything. what is reading the words? consciousness.

[yequalsx]

in alignment with the Tao, I think. Am I right anyone?  Tao confuses the hell out of me ';¬)

[johnt49]

what confuses you in regards to consciousness?

There is consciousness and there are thoughts

consciousnesses is always there thoughts come and go

which one is real?

[wwechamp7]

conciousness is kinda impossible for science to explain

[erbeeflower]

hmmm....also there are stages or levels of conciousness....
