Thus a brain is stuffed with from 86 to 100 billion analogies all synaptically jostling each other. When, say LSD, changes the discharge frequencies of all those neurons, the meanings of all the analogies are changed differentially. Change them enough and the self becomes unconscious. Change them a little less and one finds oneself sitting cross legged, upside down in a green pea soup colored fog. Less still and one's body rotates one eighty and extends one leg then the other to the ground.

Nothing more rewarding than to listen to an intelligent person making intelligent comments and participating in an objective intelligent conversation. On a separate note; you must sense that "we are not alone in the Universe"; Hundreds of proofs left that corroborate the presence thousands of years ago of intelligent life more so and advanced that ours. When are you diving into this subject???

Love this series and have to say this is one of the best episodes. Larry loves this very topic and it shows by the diversity of of the participants in this episode and his willingness to listen to and hear them out.

Sheldrake's received pronunciation is so superb; elegant.

Such a shame Prof. Mark Solms wasn’t part of this video. Thanks to his body of work, we do know now why and how consciousness emerged in nature and we can go as far as codifying it.

Consciousnesses is the precursor to anything and everything.

I might be more pan psychic leaning but I think we we were all created by the universe to serve as it's eyes and ears. A way for the universe to acknowledge that it's alive. Not saying that rocks have consciousness but things that have evolved to "think" are fundamentally all connected by a network to the universe as a whole.

Mr. Kuhn I love your vids. Very thoughtful.

Maryilyn at Noetic Sciences suggests how disturbing it is that humans place themselves at the top of the consciousness heirarchy, enabling us to dismiss all empathy with cows as we slaughter and eat them. I would suggest that to be consistent, we should have empathy with all life forms, such as plants (which do react to stimuli), and refrain from eating them too. We might also consider not using hand sanitizer because it kills bacteria which can be observed to be motile with a purpose, hence display a level of consciousness. So I suppose we can drink water, but are allowed to eat nothing, since eating rocks and sand will not sustain us. As Bob Dylan so brilliantly wrote, "I was born here and I'll die here, against my will". And I would add, "What hidden hand is forcing us to eat only other living things?"

This can only be the case if consciousness is a product of complicated computation, whether in the brain or in a computer. But as we do not really know how consciousness is created, we may be over estimating the importance of computation. If this is the case, then consciousness may need some other causal mechanism, that we can not at the moment replicate.

That's the reason we experience a lot weird dreams...but those are reality in other dimensions. Main point is when we do not observe a particle it behaves like wave but when we observe it with a detector it behaves like particle again...because our brain observes us constantly 24x7. Only time when we are in deep sleep we enter into other realms that are impossible to enter with consciousness. Like your body divides into 100s and 1000s of waves and travell through all other dimensions while you sleep...you seem solid to others bcz they observe you and when they observe you for them your wave function collapses and you become solid again.

Consciousness is One tiny part in biological Evolution albeit important. examples: 1. Evolution of mimicry, an animal looking like a Plant, a Plant looking like an insect. 2. in just a few years (less than 10 years) moths have changed their biology to avoid predation 3. plants can evolve weapons to survive , can even evolve in a symbiosis. etc

For me Beatles are also conscious.

Perhaps consciousness isn't a tangible thing, but a process involving matter and energy. In that case, what "we" are, are the underlying elements that are performing this action.

The problem of(heaven after extended Einstein) is just that we are together as conscious beings, even lava storms but in heaven it is separated. I agree.

Every animal is consciousness just operating at different levels of awareness. The brain of the host organism will determine the experience of consciousness. In human beings we all share that pure unconditioned state of awareness. But as soon as the ego starts to develop our consciousness becomes polluted by our environment. And throughout our lives our conditioned ego obscures our shared essence identity. Everything is a dream within consciousness and every human or animal is just a temporary finite point of awareness through which consciousness gets to experience life.

So he accept the itch as natural, and move on with his life. He is conscious about his problem, but he has to ignore it to succeed, there is no other option. I propose we humans have a similar problems to some other sorts of problems, even though we have invented the cotton buds to address most of our physically 'itching' problems. Human's greatest itch is 'to know' things. There are things which we cannot know by any possible means. So that is the itch we have to scratch several times from out side, accept it is there, and then move on with other stuff in life.
