Notice the simple way Bernardo explains his ideas compared to others. Also notice the way he owns errors of judgement. He has both done the work and he cares deeply about others. Bernardo is probably one of the greatest philosophers in the history of our species. Very grateful to have this individual with us.

Until you keep symbolising Good skills as gifts ,you will never have any good skill... There is nothing such as Gift by birth , it's their conditioning which can be developed by anyone

Fascinating discussion! I love Kastrup and watch everything I can find on Idealism. But, he generally shies away from implications to spirituality. I’ve been hoping for a discussion like this for a long time! Thank you.

I have listened to many of Bernardo's interviews, but for me this is getting very close to one of the best. Thanks so much for sharing. I can't believe there is only 112 subscribers on this channel, assume it's not being going for long. A great set of questions because it distills so much in a relatively short timeline. I especially like the Jungian content (I confess I am a big Jung fan), and the punchy definition of the Individuation process Bernardo provides. Im going to listen to this again.

BK is the Galileo of Consciousness. E=🕉️

This Podcast is a GEM! I found BK's contention that the nature of existence is mental quite intriguing. I had read from an e-manuscript, a friend had forwarded to me, entitled ALL LETTERS, that existence is mental, but this is a different version of the same thing. I found BK's reference to Hinduism, Islam and Christianity very refreshing, especially given the fact that this is a scientist and a philosopher,, whose stand is trying to bridge the dichotomy between science and (spirituality) religion. His reference to the book of Job (Christianity) and the contention that God is manifested in the forms in creation, is quite revealing also. Job 19:26 confirms this as, "And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God". This is a confirmation of the Greek aphorism of KNOW THYSELF. All that every individual needs to do is to know oneself! And, as BK has advised, preaching solves nothing. It is the individual knowledge of oneself that shall change the world.

What an amazing coversation with Bernardo 🙏🌹🌹🌹so Profound yet so clear 🙏Truly a great philosopher i admire Love and Respect from Bangalore India 🙏

❤listening from Toronto 🍀🌟 blessing to all 🐿💨

This conversation was like new wine in new wine skin. Thank you.

Very interesting and inspiring! Thank you both.

I use the language energy cause it’s moves so strongly threw me, I FEEL IT. That is why I use the word maybe the lack of a better term.? New Age, I’m not knowledgeable enough about those things. Mental, yes it is for me. Just sharing my personal experiences because this kind of resonates to me.

That dashboard analogy made things so simple. And dissociation concept is also helpful in making sense o what's going on. Service to transpersonal is a modern way of saying service to God.

Thanks bernardo for guiding the way with this beacon of light of mind. Yes be not of the world -but trans formed by the renewal of mind- thanks for helping us

Metaphysical idealism should be the default mode of looking at things, not physicalism. Kastrup is a godsend.

Maybe someday BK will be invited to appear on Lex Fridman or Joe Rogan or some other podcast with ... well, a serious number of subscribers. Until then, unfortunately, his message will reach only the already converted.

I love BK, but I think it will be someone else who reaches a Rogan podcast-level audience. BK’s ideas and books demand more active, rigorous thinking than the average person can even access having zero philosophical background. People listen to Rogan while doing other stuff: jogging, errands, cleaning the house etc. If Bernardo is unpacking an idea and you tune-out for 10 seconds, you can and will get lost. Every freshman philosophy student has experienced that initial shock when engaging with philosophy for the first time. It takes time to learn the jargon. My experience with ‘Materialism is Baloney’ was of finishing chapters and immediately going back to read through it again. Joe-schmo will be completely baffled and then convert that feeling into hostility.

Ah. Thank you.@@revisioningreligion

Brilliant and enlightening podcast. References made to Advaita vedanta and the nirguna brahman - attribute less immeasurable is argued beautifully....as transpersonal nature. Sarvam kalvidham Brahman - all this infeed is Brahman says Upanishads. jiddu Krishnamurti talked about how the observer is observed experiencer is the experienced etc & pointed to a different way of seeing the other side snd connecting with the one - God

Thank God, an idealist that sees the spiritual value of this metaphysics, and calling out the neurotic mess that is New Age idealism.

It would be quite an experience (and in-perience) to see you and Ra Un Nefer Amen ( author of the Metu Neter voluminous works) reasoning together one day.

A very Kabbalistic viewpoint. Interesting

👍👍

The problem of reducing substance to processes is that they lack self-unity. This is the same issue the materialist has: how to maintain unity of consciousness(formal unity) through diverse processes(material divrsity). This would imply necessarily a grounding substance of a different sort. This needs not be dualism for you are not positing two substances, the material can still be an activity of the same substance, and self-substances can still be disassociated, but the underlying substance would be just consciousness. Yet that would maintain a distinction although not separation(not multiple substances but multiple modes and self-relating of a singular substance). The dualism Bernardo points to, seems a very naive sort of dualism. One can maintain diversity without appealing to such radical ontological separation. As long as there's no ontological separation there is no need to maintain dualism, and the diversity can be explained through modes of the underlying substance that gives rise to multiple forms.

My favorite philosopher. All is consciousness but maybe it is better that only a few understand this. If all understood it there would be no need for science. So that we may evolve physically the blindness of material science is necessary. Material science does bring benefits. In our dual system science cannot bring all good. It brings both boons and banes as it is operating within duality. At some point at the end of evolution all will understand that all is consciousness or mind.

I love the way Jonas asks informed, in-depth questions that even those of us who have been reading and following Bernardo may also have. Jonas mentioned something about a proof of God at timestamp 31:33, but I can't understand what he is saying. Does anyone know what his statement is? (The transcript recorded it as "the proof of falmo".)

Jonas is talking about the famous "Ontological Argument for God’s Existence" of Anselm of Canterbury. See: plato.stanford.edu/entries/anselm/

Bill W. had the same message about our lives not being about us. Unfortunately, some people are turned off by the religious language. Fortunately, there are secular meetings but I don’t know if the message about “powerlessness “ is as meaningful.
