    Yes, it is fundamental :) We are ever-evolving, immortal, non-physical beings having a temporary human experience in this "virtual reality", and the purpose of our lives here is to increase the quality of our consciousness through learning and evolving by making good and bad choices. For those of you who enjoyed this documentary and would like to learn more about how our reality truly works, you might want to consider watching former NASA physicist and consciousness / out-of-body expert Tom Campbell's MBT Science Trilogy series here on KZread. It is nothing short of life-changing and revolutionary.

    I loved this video for a particular reason. I am an engineering graduate from the foremost school of technology in India (and now world renowned) named IIT (Indian Institute of Technology). Although my education was totally "scientific" and thus "materialistic", i grew up surrounded by the Vedic tradition of Vedanta philosophy which posited (5,000+ years ago) the concept of "Neutral Monism" called Advaita, which translated means "NON-DUALITY" with the name "Brahman" as the SOLE underlying Reality with the ONLY "attribute" of "Awareness". Listening to this podcast was Deja Vu!👏

    Consciousness is not objective it cannot be measured, it is subjective, and we cannot measure love on a scale or document it for further study. First, we have to understand we are conscious, but science dictates that we are flesh. There is no subconsciousness and it was written down by people who have no idea of consciousness I am aware that I am peaceful that is consciousness. Subconsciousness may be delusion.

    A very similar experience for me, I only heard the word panpsychism yesterday but I had a "great epiphany" in 2015 where it all 'clicked'.. in my enthusiasm and personal clarity I tried again and again to explain it... their eyes would glaze over. I've since been content to let it be and I find so much clarity in this perspective that I don't need to convince anyone of it... it will become self evident over time. Good to find others who are willing to surrender their materialism for something much more powerful.

    @@user-ze3lk1ov5b very true, one of the inevitable truths that is revealed in panpsychism is the eternal nature of consciousness. Eternal means there is always more, and the more we know... the more we know we DONT know. Science has uncovered far more questions than answers... wisdom is actually just greater awareness of ignorance. And there lies our potential. We are like infants in a library. Until we know we are ignorant we cannot learn. The materialists today think they are scholars in that library... and yet their religion is founded on random chance. 🤔 What panpsychism delivers is the awareness of this ignorance and invites inquiry, curiosity and the opening of new chapters. It embraces it in an unspeakable way. "The words of truth are always paradoxical" Lao Tzu

    @@nty3929 That’s a valid point, though far from scientific. e.g. if ANY scientist had taken your stand on any theory that had not yet been defined and measured there would be no science. Before Newton, nobody believed the force of Gravity solved any problems. Before Einstein, nobody believed relativity solved any problems. They both believed and pursued these ideas before they were able to define or measure them. Science is about curiosity, investigation and discovering a way to define and measure reality. The double slit experiment is the beginning of observing consciousness in light. As more minds consider this possibility I predict a beautiful formula will emerge similar to e=mc2. We didn’t have a way to measure the energy in matter before Einstein defined it so beautifully… he never would have sought to define it or measure it if he took your stand. "it doesn't solve anything" , is irrelevant to Science. The question that should be asked: "Is it True?"

    Life, consciousness and self-awareness have been integrated from the beginning of proto-life; from the development of the initial self-replicating nucleus protected by a cell wall that allowed diffusion inward chemicals for energy production and outward of toxic materials. In a mass of available chemicals the proto-cell had the need to decide which energy producing material to allow in and which to deny access; in effect "I choose this one. I do not want that one" This would be the beginning of self-awareness and consciousness that developed in all life forms of the planet earth over the next 3.5 billion years acting in different ways in different life forms

    Everything takes place within consciousness. Everything we experience takes place within consciousness. We cannot peek around the corner of our experience to see if it matches some free-standing reality. Yet, there is a world that resists our desires. We don't get everything we want. Not everything we try works. Some things work. Some things don't work. Some things work better, some things don't work at all. It is the working that defines reality. An ongoing process.

On searching for this epigraph I came to realize that many of the epigraphs in The Unwritten Book addressed several of the issues you touched upon in this video presentation. The epigraph is as follows. The inherent deception in all conceptions of consciousness can be traced to the suffix "ness". This is sometimes referred to as the "ness" lock monster.

    I was so glad to see that this was out. Maybe the best overview production I've seen on the subject. I'm surprised you didn't bring up Donald Hoffman's conscious agents Theory. I did see a quick shot of him. Along more psychological lines, is Ian McGilchrist's work on the relationships between the hemispheres of the brain. It gives a wonderful account of how we've arrived at the world we currently live in. His 2009 book "The Master and His Emissary" and soon to be released book "The Matter With Things" should be read by anyone seriously interested in consciousness. I think he'll be instrumental in our advancing beyond a world of toddlers who think we're hot shit because we have rockets and computers. After a full blown, spontaneous, nearly instantaneous kundalini awakening in the seventies and 45 years of subsequent meditation sprinkled with intense psychedelic experiences, I assert that consciousness is, preceding time, and that everything else is an expression of it. Pure, infinite, cosmic, God consciousness is, and it's nature is to express itself. It is the only thing that is really real - everything else comes and goes, but it just is. Consciousness is; awareness implies one that is aware and something to be aware of - the observer and the observed; perception adds the process, giving the observer, the thing that is observed, and the observation - something happens. I use a hierarchical structure with unity at the peak and multiplicity at the base as the primary structure for my framework for understanding my experience of the world. Of course it's just a way of connecting the dots and is not actually what is. Anything describing reality, isn't reality. The best we can do is create models or frameworks that are more or less accurate, detailed, and comprehensive.

    What strikes me most personally watching this inspiring video, is the apparent convergence of these pan psychic accounts towards the ideas of non dualism already uttered in ancient Hindu philosophy (e.g., Advaita Vedanta). Especially the concept of "cosmopsychism" as one consciousness being refracted into individual minds is one of its basic premises. I wonder whether there are/were some inspirations drawn from these "eastern" ideas for the different "western" concepts or whether they were rather independently developed. Either way, consciousness as a fundamental property of nature is a fascinating idea I still have no definite position on.

    I’ve worked mental health for 37 years and found it interesting and how patient saw the world, especially the voices that they hear. I’ll try to keep the short proximately 30 years ago. I had a simple dream I was driving a car and I pull to the side of the road and as I open the drivers door I looked back at my left tire was flat. Now I have had many dreams and never reacted to them that day. I had an overwhelming feeling that that tire go flat. I kept ignoring it before I went to work. I pulled over to a gas station and filled up my spare, and I almost changed my tire, but I thought this is ridiculous. It was just a dream.. as I drove down the freeway I drove in the slow lane just in case I got a flat I became late for work went to the fast lane, forgot about the feeling of getting the flat all the sun. My car started shaking I pulled to the left of the freeway, and as I open my drivers door and look back, I saw my rear left tire, flat, my dream and reality blend in to one.. for many years, I thought is my subconscious that saw the tire and maybe I notice it was wore out more than the others but what are the odds eventually I came to the conclusion that somehow my subconscious went into the future, and I truly believe it took a while to get there, but I don’t see how it could happen any other way because it happened exactly as I dreamt that day. Just an interesting thought for anybody out there. If you’re still reading this, I moved from California back to the home I grew up in. I had three dreams. I would do it and I never thought in reality. I move back to this house but here I am.

    I have suspected narcolepsy with mild cataplexy. I experience hallucinations where part my brain goes to sleep, despite being aware that the hallucination is not real (my intellect and reasoning confirms that), they are as real as any “physical” image before me. One of the common ones is a black cat, first time I saw it I demanded my husband look for it in the house before the dog got hold of it lol.

Conciousness may be fundamental to the whole of the Universe - and the conciousness I experience is then just a perspective and an aggregate of the conciousness of the cells of my body, which all have their own conciousness(es). In a way also on the molecular level. This was a liberating idea. Thank you. 🌟🌱

    I resonate with the idea neither consciousness nor matter are primary but perhaps both two sides of the same coin part of something deeper… We seem to rationalise reality from a particular perspective that is consciousness with in a framework of matter, space and time. The question of whether this particular perspective is the objective, literal or most accurate is difficult to know.

    If we are to reject dualism and embrace monism, then there is only one intrinsic nature of reality. If that one intrinsic nature is consciousness, then consciousness is not only fundamental to reality, it is exhaustive of reality. This would entail idealism, but one can still be an idealist _and_ a panpsychist, like Timothy Sprigge.

    Great piece of video, the best I have seen in capturing the history and present state for the study of consciousness. With Cognitive Psychology still being dominated by materialism and reductionalism, it's a huge relief to see that the truth-seeking spirit has become alive again in Science in the recent years! As mentioned in the video, modern science apparently had been kidnapped by scientists who only see science in a pure materialist worldview; they largely treat science as a tool to conquer nature or even worse as a means to achieve their personal fame and security (unfortunately, most people in academic research fall into this category).

    I have recently seen two of your videos. Excellent work. You are disseminating very interesting information. A great contribution to information on the subject. Keep it up. Alas, I came across the videos too late. My resources are tied up. This is one channel I would have liked to contribute to. I am a Hindu. Having reasonable knowledge of Vedanta. This knowledge helped me grasp well this intricate information. The essays being made in West are yet far from true understanding. Though, indeed a step in right direction. I see it as steps that will prove Vedanta. By Western dating, Upanishads in 800 BCE declared that nature of Absolute Reality is Sat, Chit and Anand. That is, it exists and it is conscious. West is dabbling with questions which will lead to understanding of Sat and Chit. It has yet to graduate to Anand. I have no right to ask you for this, however, it is my suggestion that you produce videos describing the concept in various civilizations. And, videos on concept of consciousness in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and other Eastern religions. You may also like to correlate modern research with those concepts. In Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, the concept has been developed fully, with nothing left to search. Thus, you will be creating a good reference library on the subject. God bless you and Regards

    If a tree falls in a forest and no ones around to hear it, does it make a sound? You would assume yes why wouldn’t it, there’s other life forms around such as other trees so of course it makes a sound. But let’s expand this question. If a universe is created and there’s no consciousness to perceive anything, does anything really exist at all? If it did exist with no conscious to acknowledge creation, does it even matter? If there’s no consciousness to observe anything how could we be sure anything exists at all. Yin yang. You can’t have one without the other. Consciousness itself is the fundamental force behind creation. God, the universe, consciousness, creation, these are all the same things. The very fact that something exists rather than nothing implies that everything is eternal and everything has always existed, and will continue to exist infinitely. Now time to play the game of life and try to find some enjoyment. ✌️

    I know this is not relevant to the idea you're expressing, but I have always disliked the tree falling in the forest metaphor. It's based on a misunderstanding of what 'sound" means. Sound is the perception of an air wave exciting the diaphragm of the ear. So of course sound requires the participation of some creature with an ear. The answer to the question is No.

    As Schopenhauer said, “No object without subject.” If there’s no subjectivity to observe objective reality, there’s no event in any meaningful sense to talk about. Therefore, for Idealists, subjectivity is always first and last; it’s really all there is to talk about. The tree will effect a cause, sure, as trees are constrained by causality, but sound is a subjective experience. So no, it does not make a sound if nobody is there to see (or hear) it fall. Also, vise-versa, no subject without object. It’s hard to imagine a meta-cognitive existence with no boundaries. The boundaries, ie Markov kernels, define us. The universe, then, has to necessarily disassociate to fulfill its own fundamental, subjective, albeit blind drives-ostensibly, diversity and complexity are selected for over time via a kinda universal natural bias.

    I concur, but it’s a deeper philosophical question than it at first appears, as it is a thought experiment about subject-object distinction. There’s both hidden empirical and conceptual assumptions one must make to answer this question. It gets people talking is the point.

    You are right, Consciousness is fundamental. It was here before everything and it will be here after everything. Every single one of us is a divided consciousness, no matter where they are, i.e whether they are in this world or in this universe or other universe. We are all living at the same time or should I say, we are all conscious at the same time. There are no time differences anywhere, whether its in this universe or other universes. Time is the same for everything present anywhere and everywhere. It's just a difference in speed of communications per second or minute or hour or year. Time can be slowed or speed up for anything, but it will still be synced with the time everywhere, it will be synced with the time of consciousness everywhere and anywhere. We are all from a single consciousness but now we are divided in infinite things everywhere or anywhere and by anywhere I mean any world or universe or multiverse or infinite verse. Consciousness is everywhere and everything is conscious. This does not prove the existence of any god or gods. God, that can control everything and knows everything because its consciousness is divided now. For god or gods to control anything, they will have to make everything a single consciousness, then they or it will be able to control them and also know about them. I don't know if all these divided consciousness will become one in the future or not, and I don't know that either, if it was one before or not.
