Do We Create Reality, Is It a Hive Mind? (with Benny Hendel)

Do we create reality in our minds - or are our minds equipped to observe only a sliver of reality?

So intresting, please do more lectures Prof.Vaknin about this topic and general Modern physics.

Today I had the thought of living organisms- meaning nature itself or universe- as being a hive mind and looked „human hive mind“ only to find this video which was just released. Is „Reality“ really trying to awaken? Coincidences are harder to believe the more time I put into researching nature, science and religion/ spirituality. It all seems linked only for us to observe and put pieces together. I‘ve been practicing meditation a lot and in the state of no thoughts and no identification with yourself(Ego), only observation, meaning no mental labeling you detach yourself from you and it feels like you become the awareness itself. For example when I look a fish in it‘s eyes I feel the connectedness it is like I am looking at myself. It is essential to become disconnected from your ego, in other words your thinking/ conditioned roles which can create feelings. You need to archive a place of equality and peace and absolute stillness. No words or feelings inside or outside your head. No inner commentary nor outer noise that catches your focus. You observe everything or to put it better you are the force of observation itself and your body is only a camera for it to see through, just like we can install cameras outside of buildings and turn on a Screen from inside to look at the pictures. 100 years ago the technology of smartphones would have been considered lunatics just like this concept sounds crazy to me but I try to stay as open minded as possible and who knows what the future might bring. What are your thoughts on this?

Professor Vaknin, this is incredibly exciting. Thank you so so much for releasing this video.

I'm a mirror, a creator and an observer simultaneously ...observation through separation and not just the dot is an opportunity for one to expand hense you the universe expands in the now ..

Got a random thought this morning about the hive mind- so I would say yes! Haha. Excited to listen to this.

This is apropos with the history of the universe that is now being written courtesy of the James Webb telescope.

Dear Sam, do I get it right, that your philter/"hardware" theory applies both to macro- and micro-scale? In other words, we observe macro-reality in a same way, just because we use the same philter? How are the results of wave collapse experiments (double slit and similar) explained in your theory? It seems to me that collapse happens only when we look into micro-reality...

does this mean the really real universe has been in heat death all the time and always will be?
