What happens to consciousness when clocks stop? | Bernard Carr & Bernardo Kastrup

As a 21 year old, I feel very grateful to see the Internet being used for this type of things, seeing professionals and wise people from older generations starting to speak about these issues, even if that many times means they can lose their reputation or even their job. I wish us, the younger generations, can follow your legacy and be the ones to shift the paradigm... I don't think it's impossible, as my generation has overall been raised in a more non-material environment (videos, Internet, videogames, hearing about simulation theories... I'd say we've engaged more with the Internet and information than with the material/physical world). The amount of people my age I've met who think "the material world is just one layer of reality but there's definitely more than just it" is pretty huge I'd say, but not enough. I just wish there were more people from my generation watching this kind of videos.

I've watched this twice, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm not stoned enough to understand this

One of my favourite days of my life was after years of playing guitar, one day i was improvising a guitar solo with a band and i realised i was hearing the music i was going to play before i played it whilst playing in time with the other band members, it was such a cool paradigm shift for my brain.

I just love these philosophical discussions ❤

It is possible to experience the past, present, and future, and to be everyone else that you see in front of you simultaneously. I have had this experience where I felt I was the people I saw in front of me: mother and child, the dog and the dog walker, even the blade of grass. Objects lose their distinguishing elements as subjective awareness takes over. While the experience is exhilarating and blissful, it is very difficult to function in today’s world while in that state. For one thing, the blood pressure drops uncontrollably, and the bliss even becomes painful. From a Kashmiri Shaivite perspective, Consciousness and the illusory world are symbolized in the iconic figure of Shiva as the Cosmic Dancer. His immovable, vertical axis represents pure Consciousness (associated with Shiva), while the horizontal axis exemplified by his whirling limbs represents time, space, and movement (associated with his Shakti, energy), which is the world of illusion. Everything exists, all at once, as pure potential within Shiva Consciousness. The world, from the viewpoint of individual consciousness, is a dispersed fragment of the whole. To experience you being me is a higher state accessible through surrendering the individual I-consciousness. This involves the collapse of the barriers of the individual’s sphere of the mind. Thank you for this valuable discussion.

THE BEST CHANNEL I EVER SUBSCRIBED TO!!! This is absolutely mind-blowing! This is a golden moment! It is so great to know that this topic is being acknowledged and actually evolving because as Bernard Carr has stated... Physics need to advance and its almost inevitable that it Will Advance! This episode was priceless. I love your team and I look forward to seeing Even more great discussions. 🙏❤️

Absolutely gorgeous Philosophy, physics and Psychology will soon connect with the endeavors in arts. Honoring the lineair worthlessness of words and still searching for the perhaps simplest secrets of our experiences (if we see words as a tool to touch reality with). In the end, transitioning from “either or thinking” I am convinced that the present harnesses every possible concept. Once Consciousness focuses on experiencing time, this allows us to experience potential field energies and particle energy simultaneously, which allows us to transfer idea into matter and vice versa. Fundamentally, conscious experience coinciding with what we call time is flow and timelessness at the same time.

Note to self. This is not the type of conversation you can listen to— whilst painting a room—and walk away with any degree of understanding. The quality of information is far too dense for casual listening 😅

It's all the Bernards in one place! A truly Saintly event!

"Time" is such a crucial basic component of music that I think it would be useful to include the musical aspect of time in future discussions

This was a GREAT discussion! Thank you all! It's great to see the work progressing into deeper and deeper conversations rather than surface discussions. This is how paradigms are shifted and created!

Just imagine a mountain valley that got completely cut off from the world and has the strange metrological phenomenon of being fully in fog 365 days a year. There are some ‘religions’ in this valley, believing in a blue sky but the philosophers and scientists of this valley are debating and debating, many ‘proofing’ that his blue is just an emerging phenomenon of fog. Then imagine, someone leaning the art of climbing and succeeding to actually see the blue sky. This climber (mystic) would have a very hard time when returning and joining the discussions of the scientific elite of this metaphorical valley. Having experienced blue sky or having NOT experienced blue sky makes a big difference. According to my experience, there comes the point in every journey for understanding reality, where you need to learn how to climb and take the risk to leave the discussion table of reasoning and start your first person experiment.

What a discussion. I truly cannot get enough. Thank you, sincerely!

Time is what Now, makes for us to play in 😊😊😊

where the big bang started is probably at a constant state of no time, the calm in the storm, the eye of a hurricane, and then as you radiate outward from the big bang you would see an influx in time. What is really wonderful to imagine is that something that seems to be traveling close to the speed of light would be traveling even faster than anything in our state of time could, the speed of light would be faster in a period of slower time.

Regarding Smolin: as I understand, he thinks reality is truly temporal, so there is real introduction of novelty. The future is open, not already given. The present is special because that's where real dynamics are, where real action is. But it's not a static present, as in certain idealism (which conceives time as illusory and "true reality" as eternal or atemporal hence "static"). It's rather an ever changing present, truly dynamic. So in that regard he's quite close to Bergson’s view, which I summarised in my previous comment.

Interesting and inspiring. Thank you.

I hope the two of you feel proud for such a wonderful discussion!

Thank all of you, gentlemen , for an amazing conversation.. 🙏❤️🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵
