Consciousness: The Fundamental Reality

Consciousness: The Fundamental Reality

Consciousness. It's our awareness, our understanding, our ignorance. It's a concept that has puzzled humanity for thousands of years, but it's something we all experience every single second. What is consciousness? Is the Universe conscious? I honestly cannot give you a straight answer, but I have some ideas.

Your calmness is so weirdly entertaining you're like a Lo Fi version of Ted Ed

[qazzzyqaz]

Imagine if this guy got a Netflix show. Kinda on the lines of Cosmos.

"We are just the universe trying to understand itself" you had me once you said this.

All matter is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed, it can only transform.

[Omar-vvbu]

I wonder how long it takes for him to find all these quality shots that match the subject and make the video look so cinematographic

[jeremy]

I feel like he can teach math, science, and history and make it not boring. Also the guy above me will never give u up

[evansmhando]

it makes me feel so good to know that there are other people out there that think this way

[silas]

Dude just hire this guy for quarantine class, then i'd actually listen.

*I am concious of my consciousness being concious, consciously.*

[LACEDHAIR]

Yesterday I was on shrooms and my friend put this on. Bro years started falling down my face. It’s like my mind crashed. I couldn’t believe what I was processing. It was a real ego death. Now I just see that we are a big paradox. And to just love each other. It was like an awakening. This page has legit changed my life last night. I spent hours watching the videos. I feel awoke. And I’m serious.

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves...


Now here's Tom with the weather"

Best plan for the quarantine: *_watching Aperture videos_*

[CrazyAce]

the most peaceful anxiety attack I've had

[jackdunning]

This guy could narrate grass growing and I would still watch it

[zenterno-ztpl]

Why are there any dislikes
This guy is literally educating you for free. Smh

[pramitharyan]

Finally, THE Appropriate interpretation of EXISTENCE

[Khai]

Watching this during an existential crisis puts you in this state of not knowing what to do but feeling at ease even while being anxious and idk if I love it or hate it

[molamola]

I feel like this has been a 13 minute advertisement to do drugs

[matthewpeterson]

The only word I could possibly think of to describe ego death is ineffable. It was terrifying but also the most incredible experience there is. It really is like you said, like your save file in a game gets corrupted or deleted, but you're still in the game. It's experiencing death without dying.

"I Am not the Body, not the Mind nor the Emotions,
I Am as I Think''.
