- Does the Universe have a Purpose? This documentary explores the possibility that conscious life is an inevitable feature of cosmic evolution. We explore different theories, including the possibility that conscious life is destined to transform the universe, and that in its final state, participates in the creation of its own existence.

There is another way we can explain gravity. If the smallest elementary particles like neutrinos generate the gravitational force then neutrinos can make a counter gravity on each object after going through that object. There is an oscillation in neutrinos that cause changing the flavor of neutrinos from electron neutrino to muon neutrino, and then muon neutrino to tau neutrino.
If everything in the universe emits neutrinos then neutrinos can become a candidate for the gravitational force as a cyclic partial force. And according to that possibility, Black Holes should emit those elementary particles to make the gravitational force. And those elementary particles can come out from Black Holes making the gravity. And if some neutrinos are invisible then it is difficult to calculate the quantum impact of that force.
That possibility can help us to explain the bouncing nature of the universe, and that can change the theory about the Big Bang too.
NASA X-ray Telescopes Find Black Hole May Be a Neutrino Factory - Nasa (Nov 13, 2014 RELEASE 14-169).
There are no very large objects around the Sun with a Big core inside preventing travelling elementary particles, and if there were very large planets like that then the graviton (Eg: the partial force in neutrinos) must stop at the core of those planets increasing the force between the planet and the Sun. And then those planets fall into the sun very soon. So that must be the reason for the fine-tuning of gravity. And I think neutrinos can make Dark Energy after going out from the galaxy. So we don't need a creator or a multiverse to explain the weakness of gravity.
@@uweburkart373, Yes, I have an explanation for that too. According to Buddhism (Abhidhamma), our minds are based on an element called Citta (mind moment) which is 17 times faster than the lifetime of a matter zone, so therefore the mind can interact faster than material things while trying to survive even after the dissolution of some groups of matter (body). There are three moments in the mind moment called Uppada (arising), Thiti (presence), and Bhanga (dissolution). That element called Citta (mind moment) is just a natural process, and it is not a living being, and it is the place the mind observes things and lives from moment to moment. And everything we see is a very fast continuation of the observations of the mind (Eg: observing dimensions of elementary particles). The Buddha could understand the process of the Citta, and he told the monks that looking at the process of Citta was the hardest thing he did. And the Buddha could discover 28 Rupa (fundamental fields of material phenomena) and 52 Chaithasika (like fundamental fields of emotions). And I guess there are fundamental fields of emotions (48+4) that help the mind to survive even without using a lot of matter fields, but according to Buddhism the Brahma realm is based on the 4 great fundamental matter elements. And if we practice our mind to live between a very small group of elementary particles or fields, then we will have a very light body. I think it is a quantum science of the mind. The mind arised on a fundamental process of observation and action (Citta) in the Universe which is not reversible.
@@uweburkart373 Thank you! I have met and interviewed many of the researchers at PEAR, and I plan to make a video about the research next year. Roger has also been on my podcast. Here's a link to our conversation. czcams.com/video/YHN820mRrZo/video.html
@@uweburkart373, Thanks. Yes, Chitta is like the consciousness of the universe, and it is a fundamental phenomenon (Paramartha Dharma) in the universe. According to my analysis about dimensions in quantum fields, Chitta is connected to few fundamental quantum fields and there are different types of Chitta fields (Eg: Male, Female, Brahma, and probably a Nirvana Chitta to end the rebirth) related to a special process in fundamental elementary particles like neutrinos. According to my mathematical discovery, there is a process in neutrinos that can attract dimensions, absorb (cancel) dimensions, and select a dimension to react. So I think, that process can become a process similar to the process in Chitta. If our brain emits a lot of visible or invisible quantum fields (Eg: fields of neutrinos) when we think a lot, then we can try to use a scientific technology or a special power of the mind to detect those quantum fields.
The concept of Creator God is not a scientific argument for the existence of the fine-tuned universe. And the Multiverse argument is not the only argument for the fine-tuning of the universe. There are hidden variables (mathematical symmetry) that caused some scientists to be ignorant and talk about a fine-tuning. And the fine-tuning argument just shows the failer of modern science, and as usual some scientists try to put God between the Gap in science to hide their failar and support the political propaganda of Abrahamic religions.

Humanity has reached a point where it knows so much about the world and universe around us, but knows so little about our inner selves.
Now is the time to go inside.
It will happen, as soon as it can be monetised 🙄
@@PadreDePato Unfortunately, this
@@OriginalContent89
“so much” we don’t even have .1% of the knowledge of everything. we know practically nothing
we dont know almost anything about the universe actually. Very very little... Scientists are flashed almost everyday by new findings how stars behave, stuff happenening that should not happen etc..
I'm so gratified that this acknowledges consciousness in non-human beings. In the course of my 60+ years, I've seen a huge change of perspective in our view of animals away from being nothing but biological autamatons,ruled only by instinct,to feeling, thinking beings with a rich inner world. I worked with zoo animals for 30 years,and I wish I could shout from the rooftops; don't ever underestimate animals.
I think animals have consciousness -- you can look at them and they can stare back at you...very communicative -- stones, mud piles are different. In between are vegetation ... they are not moving and they cannot move...
Cats and dogs -- which show affection and love -- in the purest form -- are proof enough they have consciousness. They are sentient and every ancient fables includes animals talking and making decisions.
Not only animals, every living thing has a soul............................Falun Dafa
I have 3 Belgian malinois, and I couldn't agree more. They are so intelligent.
@@williamcopeland4110 All living things have a soul and humans are God's most precious creation.
Factory farming of animals absolutely needs to be stopped. They are experiencing consciousness in some form undeniably by looking in their eyes and observing their behavior. In dire situations where fight or flight/ life or death situations with no options, such as most observable animals we see, we don't have to kill to eat. Have an apple or something lol. No disrespect to anyone for the stance they feel on that. Take care everyone
Treat whatever being with some dignity if you're gonna eat it. I mean the golden rule is treat others how you would like to be treated they say

Thank you so much for these kind words. It means a lot.
It's remarkable how many philosophers are now coming around to the view that consciousness is in some way a primary feature of reality. But the idea goes back to the German idealists, Schelling, Goethe, etc.
Or back to Plato or even further in some traditions. The German idealists definitely broke important ground that often gets overlooked.
Well said, and importantly, it's not just philosophers dusting off an old idea for a new campaign. Much of this energy is coming from multiple directions in "hard" science as cutting-edge researchers are finding themselves (sometimes reluctantly) forced towards these ideas as older paradigms keep revealing fundamental limitations. This is a fun moment in science and one which holds great portent.
@@uweburkart373 The best source I've found about German Romantic philosophy is Robert Richards' The Romantic Conception of Life: Science and Philosophy in the Age of Goethe. Also, Henri Bertoft's The Wholeness of Nature: Goethe's Way Toward a Science of Conscious Participation in Nature.
Yes! And I also am amazed by the striking similarities to even more ancient Dharmic traditions of liberation. The ancient seers didn't have telescopes or microscopes, but they refined their intuitions by maximizing their minds through kindness, meditation, and direct insight. What a joyful science!

Your videos just get better and better. They raise our thoughts from our everyday mundane struggles to the essential and fundamental questions of existence and the nature of reality itself.
Thanks Dad! :)
The nature of *Whose* reality?
It is amusing how you creatures seem to suppose that there is some sort of(whatever you mean by, but have absolutely*no* idea) 'reality' to which you are not privy. It's rather touching.

"We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe."

Aummmmmm. OM.

We were made by the universe, from the universe itself.
We are the universe observing itself.
One can only assume that the universe did not just choose humanity to seed the cosmos but to all who can and are able to.
humanity seeding the cosmos is a REALLY bad idea.
@@daveydudely9954 the universe is full of bad ideas, but I don’t think this is one of them, I think it’ll be a natural progression for humanity to explore the final frontier. Eventually it’ll be necessary, because the game clock has already started. Our sun, that all life relies on this planet is finite. I get it, that humans have a penchant for war and spreading that throughout the universe is not a good thing, but we’re also capable such beautiful things such as art, music, and love.

The universe is alive.
I think so.
As proven by the double slit experiment. The building blocks of the universe can tell when they are being observed and change accordingly!
@@PadreDePato How does the double slit experiment prove the universe is alive?
The evidence for a living universe is much more simple. The saying goes... I think therefore I am. It is more like this though. I am - therefore I think.
Either way. As Alan Watts said... we are something that the universe is doing and come out from the universe in the same way that apples come out of an apple tree. Something like that.
Excellent documentary, a lot of it makes more sense to my simple mind than I thought it would, I see it as the universe has developed consciousness to experience it's self and evolve.

czcams.com/video/RrCzYu3hs68/video.html
Brilliant video! Thank you very much for sharing it that was very very interesting. Great presentation. ❤
My hunch on the constants problem is either the anthropic principle is the answer, or the constants are actually all values simultainously, but we are tuned to see only the values possible for existence, so we only observe them as constant. We haven't seen evidence for the latter, so the anthropic principle applies I guess....but it would be amazing to have experimental evidence of variability of the constants under some condition. That would change everything.
With my experience of Psychoactive Acid, I had this strong sense to be proud of all of reality because I felt as if I was the one who created it.
Almost like I felt like every little thing from physics to matter, time, multiple dimensions, I created it because everything in reality is me, I am reality.
Because we’re human we’re capable of understanding multiple perspectives but not many for very long due to survivalist egotistical reasons.
But what I had seen was that I am you/you are me, but different life experiences taking unique individual paths.
Because we’re conscious beings capable of almost divine level of thought at this moment in time, we’re at the pinnacle, the top of creation roaming as an echo of reality within it.
But because our energy is a part of reality, once dead, that energy is gifted back to reality to be recycled again.
What makes up you on the tiniest scale, makes up all of reality on it’s specific yet unique form of almost divine energy.
Because we’re able to witness and experience each other now is because the energy of the universe spans across time itself almost as if everything in existence always was and will be until it must recycle again.
A wall is a wall until you realize it can be bypassed, and in this reality of creation, truly any wall can be bypassed.
Everything experienced may not be guaranteed, the way ones life pans out may not be guaranteed because with time and uncertainty, things are bound to be jumbled up in reality yet uniquely and equally positioned.
You are all of reality just as I and everything around you that exists and doesn’t exist.
The illusion of reality is division/difference/separation.
Everything is the same, the only difference you notice is how uniquely constructed the reality you exist in is.
Once humans manage to master this physical form of reality, they will then enter a form of reality where mathematics is the common language and anything we know is pure gibberish.
At the particle collider I guarantee that some atoms when smashed and create quantum particles some go back moments in time and what it looks like would be flashing out of existence for a moment and returning before disappearing completely.
For a particle to go forward in time it would disappear and show up again a little bit later.
(And that’s my take on life)
We all have a body. We do not Have souls, we Are souls...............Falun Dafa
My take is shorter. The Creator created everything and considers mankind to be His most precious creation..................Falun Dafa
Individual souls or as one soul manifesting as many?

I love the phrase, the universe gives birth to consciousness and consciousness gives birth to the universe, i.e. one can't exist without the other. I tried to simplify the answer to my son, by saying the oceans of the world can't exist without gravity and that it needs both for the ocean to exist. But my 10 year old son quickly stepped in saying, yes but dad, the oceans needs gravity, but gravity doesn't need the oceans to exist. I think it best that I just kept quiet! By the way great videos.
I'm sure he could understand without metaphorize it 😊

Hello, the material universe is secondary, consciousness is primary. Time, space, and everything in them emerge from the consciousness of the One
I would like to speak to the manager of the One. Why does so much consciousness suffer?

Thanks James! Happy you enjoyed it.
Beautiful video! Love how you combine science and philosophy in a way that makes you appreciate the wonder of being alive. I've just recently went down a rabbit hole of science videos on quantum mechanics, entropy, time, the origins of life etc for this exact reason: zooming out from my everyday, personal problems and seeing the bigger picture of existence brings me a sense of understanding and appreciation. Infinity is a long, long time - yet we are here right now, able to ponder these questions, to hear and taste and see the beauty of the world, and to love. I'm not religious in the traditional sense, but the fact that we exist, that SOMETHING exists at all, is to me as close as you get to a miracle.
Wow, you could be me! Your words could have come straight out of my own mouth, that’s exactly what I think. Wait…maybe I am you!
Seriously, thanks for your comment, it really hit home.
@@wicky4473 Glad to hear my friend! My journey has been crazy this year (2023), going from total atheist to believing in SOME kind of God, not a man in the sky but an infinite force that lies behind everything - like you said, even you and me. I now believe we are truly all one, deep deep down, and that this body I have is just a temporary form, not my essence. In a way: life is a dream and we're all part of the dreamer's one mind. To "die", I think, is analogous to waking up. Let's be kind and explore this dream while we're here❤
@@Karlytho exactly, live life just like the song, ‘Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream…merrily, merrily, merrily,merrily…life is but a dream’.

Of course, some may say, ‘life is just a bowl of cherries’… but I haven’t worked that one out yet! 😄❤️

Never heard of "The Omega Point". This concept totally blows my mind. Great video as always, Adrian! So inspirational.
Glad you liked it! The Omega Point is a fascinating idea. It comes from the philosopher Teilhard de Chardin.
I always think that: "Wishful thinking" is how human beings create things. In fact, the words are redundant: Thinking is motivated by a wish, fundamentally. In fact, wishful thinking is the only force of will that shapes the universe from anything other than just things bouncing off of things. How else can we account for the existence of things like cars, and buildings and rockets, or plays and theater and art. The wishful thinking is already exerting its pressure on the walls of the universe.
Thank you for sharing these ideas. Perhaps you are right that all thought is at root intentional rather than merely abstract. Fascinating.

However I find it curious that there was no mention of the nature of time (if it exists) or the perception of it, or of how the universe might function as an artificial construct specifically for consciousness/intelligence (where time might be a necessity), and where a greater time-independent reality might exist beyond - as described by virtually every person who has gone through a near-death or death-and-return experience describes.
It couldn't be better, thank you for the great content.
A brilliant presentation. I admire your work.
Wonderful, wonderful documentary - thanks for researching some of the big names Linde Wheeler, and Leslie. If quantum wave collapse is necessary at micro-level, I don't see why so many physisicsts think that it's not necessary on the macro-level.

As always, very interesting. Nice work. Makes me ask what the ultimate goal of the universe could be, if there is one.

Well done 👏👏👏
omg thats exactly what ive been looking for! love it
Great stuff. Thanks. What if the fundamental values of existence are love intelligence and playfulness? Perhaps the opposing forces of destruction that we experience around us and within each of us are a balance that exists but can not lastingly predominate?
Its also interesting what you hear from mystical experiences, such as NDEs to psychedic experiences. They have similar ideas like that in the video
I agree. Fascinating subjects.
Absolutely. To think that psychedelics have only recently been studied by academia. It's unfortunate how much time has been wasted not being able to use these tools for further research in new areas of physics and philosophy (I'm sure all of science could benefit. Humanity too). I hope the current research going on at places like MAPS and Johns Hopkins will be as successful as they have been.
Ideas in the past were shot down by peers and religion. Some people were jailed and tortured (or worse) for their crazy ideas. Some of their work was vindicated later on when the old guard of scientists dies which creates a landscape where new ideas or old "crazy" ideas could blossom similar to an old tree falling in the forest and the light can finally shine through the canopy to allow conditions for the saplings to grow. That's obviously not the only way old taboo ideas were eventually accepted, but I've heard it happened a lot and continues to happen to this day. People don't want to spend their whole life working on something then near the end of their career a new idea comes along that destroys all their progress and accomplishments. The sunk cost alone would make it incredibly difficult to even assess something like that.
Some of those crazy ideas turned out to be not only true, but if it had not been for the courage of those great thinkers, who knows how long it would have set humanity's knowledge back waiting for the next person who does have the courage to stand against the norm.
So I say let's get theorists and philosophers and any other person who can safely take psychedelics and who want to, and have them peel back that cosmological curtain. Let them see what's on the other side. Then let the 21st century's Age of Enlightenment begin.
@@prestonwestenbarger7557 well said 👍🏾
Yep I know personally this to be true. I have had 1 NDE and countless drug (psychedelics/dissociative tyle) induced Out of body experiences I can assure you they are both very similar. During my NDE I was in a car wreck at around age (6-8) and I essentially was floating above my body and just consciously could see my body and surrounding in 3rd person birds eye view. Imagine looking at your self from a drone camera. Only during the NDE at some point I sort of switched to this room or vast empty space, and what I can only describe as a 360° holo graphic Panama view of my entire life. I was essentially looking at "monitors" and my entire life was being replayed right in front of my eyes. Every thought I had about any past life event, the display would instantly switch to that point and start playing a perfect first person view of the exact same events I really did in real life. I could jump to any point of my life and instantly switch to that point and start watching. While in this state I felt the absolute most warm euphoric feeling of happiness, compassion and love I have ever felt. I've done alot of MDMA and this was by far 10x that. Unbelievable feelings. I felt as if the entire universe loved me no matter what happened here and that everything could be rewatched and learned from for either a state of pure consciousness, or a new life with gifted remembered information like instinctively you know what to do.
Absolutely mind boggling and crazy experiences. I've had well over 10 drug induced OOB experiences and 1 NDE. Very similar only differences in my experiences compared to others is that I either didn't or don't remember ever seeing any kind of white light at the end of a tunnel. I also don't remember ever "hearing" other persons voice saying anything that I could ever understand as English to me. It was essentially me and me only(?) It felt like there was no more time too, you were essentially watching a video of your entire life and seemingly no time would have passed (even though time is actually still passing in reality and at some point you get pulled back into your body as if by the body being a magnet, and bam your just waking up in your body again. The length and duration of these experiences is very much so unknown. I could not begin to tell you the point at which I go from being in first person to becoming aware I'm in third person and then the point where I switch back and go back to my body after having these experiences is. It could be hours or billions of years. It just happens. It's fucking unreal and it's essentially caused me to lose my fear of death all together.
For anyone curious of drugs that were used that truly caused an OOB:
Dxm / dissociative type drugs
Psilocybin (psychedelic mushrooms)
Lsd / acid
And there are plenty more that exist.
@@nahCmeR Well it’s always crossed my mind conscious before you were born. If you are considerably dead for trillions of years. It feels like I became conscious within seconds. Popping into my life as a baby. But why this body at this time has always made me wonder as well.

Fantastic video! I've long believed that there is some sort of "force" pushing evolution, right from the point of the Big Bang.

Honestly, I’ve never been interested in philosophy, because I never read anything or heard anything growing up that intrigued me regarding it. The cosmos, and space and nature here on earth have always created a sense of awww for me, even as a very young kid. Can’t wait to read a few of the books mentioned here. Looking forward to checking the channel later.

Always killin it
NICE VIDEO!
f.y.i:
there exists a little-known word which represents the OPPOSITE of "ENTROPY"
it is the word: "SYNTROPY"
pronounced: [sin-tro-pi]
which means: the tendency of the universe to INCREASE in complexity and order over time...
the word was created (coined) by the late-great futurist: R. Buckminster (Bucky) Fuller sometime in the first half of the 20th Century.
Thanks! That's a useful term to know. I'll read more.
That's cool. I've heard of Bucky and his balls.
I’m a new subscriber. This is the first documentary of many more I will view on your site. Love how various viewpoints are presented without bias. My first thought was if the universe is dependent on the ever growing consciousness of living beings, then why does it appear only human life is able to reflect on the mysteries of the universe? So many millions of other life forms on earth appear to not have consciousness in this way. That’s not a very efficient way for the universe and consciousness to reach the omega point. Thoughts?
I absolutely agree
Incredible video, such an amazing feeling hearing ideas you have pondered on explained back to you with scientific reasoning.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The best view of the cosmos is the one where someone once said, 'a universe is just one of those things that happens every so often.'
Omg. This is a huge implication on our physical reality..& yes there was an intelligent being observing creation the actual life from the creation itself. WOW WAT A REVELATION .
What
Hey , when entropy stops at the end, then it'll be back to perfect order. So that also means that entropy causes order?
Thats an interesting question and it makes sense
@@rita_calamity thanks for your reply. I actually don't know if it makes sense to anyone else, though I know it should.
@@michaelelbert5798 It makes much sense! A fascinating question like destruction somehow turns itself into some form of order/perfection is an interesting concept
@@rita_calamity no offense. But I'm wondering if you are human or AI.
I’ve never thought of this before, I like the way you think
Thank you for an amazing and so relevant work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great one
I was specifically taken by the thought of a future conscious entity creating life in a, new, new beginning. I've been thinking that maybe future beings found a way to live forever by creating a means for themselves to inhabit other consious beings at will. With no bodies to limit their mortality they could jump into new souls continuously and live forever. In particular I think they could step into souls at night during rem sleep and re-run that souls memories and feelings. This hypothesis solves how life got started and also why it got started. It also answers why we have rem sleep and explains why it feels like we are not quite in full control of our own lives. It all so explains why God allows so much pain. It is because pain is a nessasary for survival and the creator can't change ether the fact that life contains pain or that we die. The answer to how the universe got started may be only answerable by those creators who may have had their beginning under completely different circumstances. Circumstances that would be unknowable to us in our own. It may also answer evolution. Evolution may be tweekable from the inside out. Need a way to kill the prey if your a snake. Tweek your eye teeth to be hollow needles and make a neurotoxin protein that may be squeezed through them to inhibit the prey.

No god needed. What is your methodology to think the universe needed a supernatural deity to be created?
Maybe I should have said I don't know if if needed a god. Matter can never be created nor destroyed, therefore it might have already existed and could have changed form. No evidence whatsoever that a god exist.
Wow…. Wrap your head around that notion 👌🏽… imagine for a second that was the case.. now try ponder on the origins of those entities and the entities to those entities. Like driving down a long road with no end in sight.. just look around and take in the awe of this profound mystery of mystery..
Great video and channel!
Few thoughts...
As far as my understanding of quantum mechanics goes, consciousness is indeed required for universe to exist as we know it. Without an observer, universe exists only as an abstract probability wave. It is an act of observation that gives it form.
Infinite regression is true and the only available explanation. Arguments "to avoid infinite regresion" are logical fallacies - they would need to show that infinite regres is impossible first. Univere is fractal in every dimension imaginable. There is a "metauniverse" that generates universes and then meta-meta universe that generates generators of universes...
The future attractor is the omega point as described by Teilhard de Chardin.
Also, I wrote these thoughts during the video =D so...
Thank you for sharing these thoughts.
Great. Loved video
Now I know how the illusion non-deterministic universe works . Thanks alot for your help.
That was phenomenal
Thank you!
This video deserves 1+ million views.
🤞
7 billion……
Also, thank you for the amazing video ❤
Wow way to early in the day for this stuff. Then again if I leave it till night time Ill be awake all night thinking about it. Great thanks.
Thanks Philip. No idea what the right time to think about this stuff is!
"I am the eye with which the universe beholds itself, and knows itself divine". Shelley, 'The Hymn of Apollo'. "Know thyself".
Nice quote!
Great video. Thanks for making this!
I personally don’t see any problem with the Universe taking billions of years for life, and therefore value, to emerge. For life to happen, many previous conditions need to be set in place, and it takes time to set such conditions. Far stranger would have been for life to emerge immediately right after the birth of the universe. That would be closer to a theistic account of creation.
Which also gets me to something else. What if just God? I also don’t see any problem with that possibility. The rift between the science and the mystical is a rather modern invention from the 19th century, yet, there is nothing in the actual world to indicate any incompatibility between the materialistic and the mystical. Unfortunately, when people think about god the first thing they imagine is the cartoonish depiction of biblical tales. I have absolutely no idea what God might be like, but I sure know it won’t be the way it is portrayed in infantile religious texts.
Dr. Wheeler’s words are very similar to other words said centuries, millennia, ago by mystics in various ancient cultures. It looks like, in the end, we will go full circle. The terminology may be more sophisticated, but in the end it all may have been the same.
Searching for the original Biblical meaning of the words in the Bible it becomes obvious that the Bible is an allegory. Christ represents our awareness as the light of the world. The Virgin Mother is the unknowable cause or foundation of nature we see as space but the original Biblical meaning of Mary is drop of the Sea. The Jordan river/ Red Sea is our Cerebral Spinal fluid with the rod, staff or mantle used to separate these waters in various stories being our spinal cord. I imagine like the silver cord of Solomon but I haven't seen that story straight through yet. The word of God is energy as the alpha and Omega whose division is known as experience by the One. E equals MC2 says energy is everything and this equates to one thing is everything divided by energy and we began with everything is energy so one thing is energy divided by energy with the one thing being the whole of what is divided as Y pluribus unum or as Rev. 1-5 says the beginning and the end, the alpha and Omega and first begotten of the dead. The dead is our reflection as what we see ourselves as being in the world but this reflection has no life whatsoever, the witness of our reflection is the life of the body. In Genesis, Jacob saw the face of God and his life was preserved. Jacob was the face of God. God is the one who saw Jacob. ⚕️
That gets you thinking!!🙃
Brilliant. Spot on...👍✨♾️🎶🎵
I have long suspected that consciousness is just the cosmos trying to make sense of itself. In addition consciousness has an infinite fractal dimension. Any particular fractal conscious is subjective life. The infinite fractal property of consciousness is objective from any creature's viewpoint, not realizing we are all one and the same consciousness. Thank you for the spiritual synchronicity.
Is the universe conscious life?
Awesome! The rate of entropy in my consciousness has drasticly reduced after watching this video. Thank you!!
Good content - still waiting for you to have a go at the topic of the multiverse/parallel realities and all the different theories out there e.g many worlds
Thanks. I do plan to cover many worlds in a video I'm planning about quantum physics.
Here's a question: Is there another type of life besides conscious life?
I tend to think all life may be conscious to some degree, but we just don't know.
@@metaRising It's hard for me to imagine something being alive without it being conscious in some capacity. But I do think a lot of people conflate life with intelligence. ----- A mouse trap is intelligent... but you wouldn't say it was alive or conscious.
Most animals are not conscious, proven by the fact that they cannot recognise themselves in a mirror
@@PadreDePato I dont think not being able to recognize yourself in a mirror means that youre not having a subjective first person witnessing experience. For all we know, a carrot could be having a subjective experience, but because we think it shows no indication of recognizing itself in a mirror, that that means it's not conscious. It's not the way we should approach this at all imo.
Isn't a brain required for consciousness? Would we assume that plant life is conscious?
It's a SIMULATION .
I love your videos! Keep going! Love from Uzbekistan!!!
I always have one word I missed in proofing my review. "and interpreting of those big questions has brought me to the two MOST mind expanding"
