Does the Universe have a Purpose? ~ Consciousness Documentary

Does the Universe have a Purpose? This documentary explores the possibility that conscious life is an inevitable feature of cosmic evolution. We explore different theories, including the possibility that conscious life is destined to transform the universe, and that in its final state, participates in the creation of its own existence.

Hi everyone, I hope you find this episode interesting! What do you think about the possibility that the universe requires the evolution of conscious life? Let me know what you think and let's talk about it.

"We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves, " the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe."

[JohnnyMotel]

Humanity has reached a point where it knows so much about the world and universe around us, but knows so little about our inner selves.
Now is the time to go inside.

It's remarkable how many philosophers are now coming around to the view that consciousness is in some way a primary feature of reality. But the idea goes back to the German idealists, Schelling, Goethe, etc.

I like how Carl Sagan put it, "...we are the eyes and ears of the universe aware of itself..."

As someone who suffers from a lot of existential anxiety in the matters of identity and consciousness I always find your content so uniquely comforting and eye opening. It really helps me to take a deep breath and remember that I am a piece of the universe perceiving and experiencing itself

The quality of your work is every bit as high as the best TV documentaries, despite the vast difference in budgets...and streets ahead of the standard fare (not that I watch too much TV these days! ) Thanks for sharing your work once again.

This masterpiece has the same effect upon me as reading one of my favorite Buddhist sutras- I am filled with the wonder of a child, and smiling beatifically, I cut of all devices, and pull out my meditation cushion, and treasure the afterglow of your inspiring words. This upload must go to my ''favorites'' cache. It is a spiritual treasure. May you be happy and healthy, teacher.

I'm so gratified that this acknowledges consciousness in non-human beings. In the course of my 60+ years, I've seen a huge change of perspective in our view of animals away from being nothing but biological autamatons, ruled only by instinct, to feeling, thinking beings with a rich inner world. I worked with zoo animals for 30 years, and I wish I could shout from the rooftops; don't ever underestimate animals.

I swear on the univers' consciousness, I've never clicked anything this fast!

[mattb]

Hello, the material universe is secondary, consciousness is primary. Time, space, and everything in them emerge from the consciousness of the One

[Prodigalpro]

There's too much complexity and perfection for the universe to be an accidental happening.

[Liondogge]

One can only assume that the universe did not just choose humanity to seed the cosmos but to all who can and are able to.

[davidnelson]

Your videos just get better and better. They raise our thoughts from our everyday mundane struggles to the essential and fundamental questions of existence and the nature of reality itself.

[saeiddavatolhagh]

The amount of information in this video is bewildering. By the way John Wheeler believed that information itself is the source of everything in cosmos.
Well done 👏👏👏

" Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself . Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies . We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence ." ~ Alan Watts

[CaidicusProductions]

We were made by the universe, from the universe itself.

We are the universe observing itself.

[simengrandal]

Your efforts and hard work in making these outstanding productions are much appreciated! Thank you so much for your contribution to increase the interest and understanding of physics, psychology and astronomy for the general public.

I always think that: "Wishful thinking" is how human beings create things. In fact, the words are redundant: Thinking is motivated by a wish, fundamentally. In fact, wishful thinking is the only force of will that shapes the universe from anything other than just things bouncing off of things. How else can we account for the existence of things like cars, and buildings and rockets, or plays and theater and art. The wishful thinking is already exerting its pressure on the walls of the universe.

[calest]

Excellent documentary, a lot of it makes more sense to my simple mind than I thought it would, I see it as the universe has developed consciousness to experience it's self and evolve.
