This was a great video. I thought it was hilarious as to how many times the scientists and philosophers had glasses on

Very cutting edge concepts that have been around forever. Great job presenting it in an understandable and very useful way. Good luck getting this message out and disseminated to practitioners and the public.

Very clear, precise and engaging. However, as long as we humans don't know ourselves and don't work on ourselves individually, our global vision and dream is a long way of.

For some, only humans possess Consciousness. There are others who think that not only humans, but also other animals, or even plants, possess consciousness. I am one of the first, and as such I consider that Consciousness makes us different from other living beings. Certainly, that Consciousness makes us different does not prevent us from recognizing how much we have in common with other living beings.
Explaining what Consciousness is requires explaining what makes us different from humans. Hence, it is not necessary to explain the paradigm of mental states with qualia, a common phenomenon in living beings with a brain.
