I'm interested to see how the comments evolve. It's starting out with a nice mix of characters. 🙏

I remember the Madonna song, "We are living in the material world and I am a material girl." Even in the song video, she realizes gathering material stuff does not make her happy. She should take this course and learn that her thoughts are the primary building blocks of her life!

awesome sauce. like the format, you're doing great work.

For anyone who had had that ' flash ' of experience that the existence is ' weird ' this is incredibly important and puts scientific foundations to ancient philosophies like advaita Vedanta that Essentially say that what seems to be real is false and that which is true is hidden in plain sight .

Bless you Bernardo... It has been my opinion since I first heard you speak on sages and scientists conference that you are one of the greatest and clearest minds of our time... Just wondering if you have come across Grand master Wolf... Would love to see you both in conversation, think you would like him, he's just lovely, also a clear mind though from a very different set of life experiences, check him out ...

[JaseboMonkeyRex]

I would be deeply curious about what a culture would look like that has this philosophy as its cornerstone...

Bernardo I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel and lectures. I'm also a big fan of Rupert Spira and Amit Goswami's book "The Self-Aware Universe". I like the idea that "we" are just consciousness experiencing itself and I enjoy other perspectives on how to describe this phenomenon like idealism. A question I've been pondering is "is everything just a metaphor?". Are we just describing something that is completely undescribable using our pathetically limited sensors/instrument/brain? The materialists are conditioned beyond hope with their hard coded gotta be "right" subroutine on infinite loop though so it's impossible to talk to them about it. I appreciate another outlet for bigger unconditioned ideas.

I'm looking forward to this but I couldn't help but chuckle at an idealist giving a course debunking materialism, while referring to the ideas in the course as material. 😁

The thoughts of other people are not objective. They are subjective because it relies on your interpretation of their words as you are hearing or reading them.

[ericarmstrong]

Is in an objective statement that everything is subjective?

[jorgegarciapla]

Yes, the observer is joined to the observed, but it is not a "permanent union", it is not even a union, but the observer and the observed are only images (fragments) in the undivided and unlimited consciousness.

There is no climate change, for example, existing autonomously with respect to the observer, the "human being". "Human being" and "climate change" are correlated images in the mind or consciousness. Consciousness looks at itself from infinitely many different points of view; from one of them, it sees the image "human being", and from a different one it sees the image "climate change". Causality is not an intrinsic property of the mind, but only a quality of its own texture, just as are matter, space, time, feeling, and so on. Therefore, no one is causing climate change, nor can anyone prevent it, nor the opposite.

[gireeshneroth]

It's purely a mind world. So called physical reality is mind's version of itself.The mind worldbeing itself.

[Nonconceptuality]

While I agree with almost all of Bernardo's theory, it isn't complete. What he has done is simply shift the duality problem over to the "mind" side, which opens up more questions such as "where do thoughts come from?"; "what is "mind"?

I have recognized a pattern/system that is a holographic expression of the fundamental workings of Reality and Self. This system is triune in nature and expresses itself naturally, organically, at the fundamental description of Reality. One could say that it is a holographic expression of the fundamental qualia of Reality and Self

The theory is explained here:


I implore you to watch this with "Beginners mind." Although roy dopson is relatively unknown, that doesn't mean that he's automatically a crackpot. This model/theory is fundamental in that I did not create the model, but recognized it where others have not. Then I subtly adapted the starkly dualistic model of "thing"/"nothing", as it is this trainwreck of paradox, convolution and self-reference that projects materialism itself. In fact there is no alternative to materialism within the English language; it's baked in, as shown in this two-part video:



I get this. All of THIS. Maybe someone should interview me...

[l.rongardner]

Wrong! The world is neither subjective nor objective; it just is. What's subjective or objective is one's perception-conception of the world. IOW, what Kastrup thinks about the world is wrong.

[NotNecessarily-ipvc]

This is the contingent and less real side of the zero-of you.

The other side is necessary and more real.

There's an event horizon to the zero-dimensional space binding your quarks together with the strong force. God's on the other side.

This side is the absence of God; to know Good from Evil using the Logos.
