2. Brahman

3. Science is unable to prove life after death. However, how can we ignore the out of body experiences of yogis, other deep meditative experiences, some psychedelic drug experiences, and millions of near death experiences that have been reported, where consciousness leaves the body. Those reports are less fantastic than a neutrino, leaving the core of the sun, traveling to earth in 8 minutes, going through walls, going through my body, going through earth and continuing its journey. Science can prove that behavior of neutrinos and consciousness leaving the body seems easier to understand in comparison.

7. This bare awareness that Donald Hoffman describes sounds so much like the Buddhist description Sati Sampanjana.

8. Fascinating

9. My late sister and her husband, A heart consultant, went to India and studied under Maharishi Maresh and they taught me, A lowly carpenter, and what I heard in this video is so pure, so true that I had to add, in my humble unlearned knowledge that what is spoken of here is true. There are no words to explain but I have felt pure joy that as a human I could not express, yet I try. What they try to convey here is so, so true that anything I say could not explain what the pure joy of BEING will answer every question that you could think of, yet when you experience this transendence, you don't need to ask, you know.

10. we all have to accept that when our brain dies, we will be back to nothingness. Tell me, what do you remember when you are not yet born? We all came from nothingness and into nothingness we will return.

11. Consciousness exists beyond death, and 'energy' is unlimited. There a fruitful realities awaiting me beyond this simulation.

12. Mere consciousness, consciousness without content overcome ".Now you got it.

13. I guess we're actually something different. No human. Maybe we are machine elves having a human experience because otherwise we would just be happy all the time. =)

14. I was always interested in if you build an exact copy of yourself it wont be you because soul ,conciousness is separate?

15. I suspect that the fundamental consciousness that occupies all living things, is one with the designer of living things, and perhaps the whole universe.

16. “If”, “maybe”, “perhaps”, and the misapplication of Gödel

17. Death is a fiction.

18. Consciousness choose to forget sometimes, but it is eternal.

19. WHO IS CONSCIOUS?

20. Its not "my consciousness" YOU are CONSCIOUSNESS.

21. I suspect so. I'm hyperperceptive, so is the American fantasy author Katheryn Kurtz. I'd followed her work for some time before what follows happened.

    In 1997, my wife reached the end of Stage 5 cancer. She was dying, and in her last moments, I blessed her on her way. Nobody else was in the room. About six weeks later, Kathryn's latest opus was published, Death of an Adept, and in it, the death scene was word for word identical. It had been written months before, but I only learned of and read it afterwards.

    Now, to demonstrate that hyperperception is not chronologically bound, in 2015 I precisely anticipated a major strategic question coming my way. Not for the first time, but when this one landed, I was under test by Prof Arshad Rather's private practice. They observed me answering the exact question put by a foreign potentate, straight from file. I knew six months beforehand it was headed my way, I'd spent four months considering the reply, and winning the deal for the UK took exactly half an hour. It may well have inspired Dominic Cummings' search for weirdos and misfits in 2020, as half the Cabinet was watching, but that's another story: you can interpret that as High-functioning NeuroDiverse. I'm probably a genius, per Craig Wright, the Head of Yale's Genius School, after I took one of his own theses from his previous tenure in the History of Music, slapped details from two works of van Eyck alongside it, showed they were examinations of the mystic philosophy of Jan van Ruusbroec, forming an academic case per the pre-Enlightenment norm of the Quadrivium, created by Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly with the intent of ending the Papal Schism. Ruusbroec's thinking passed to Gerardus Groot and the Windesheim School, becoming the Devotio Moderna (modern Christianity to you) and the Enlightenment.

    So, time can be flexible. I didn't tell Mrs Kurtz, she put her version on record long before mine, I just didn't know it. This is drifting into Wendy d'Andrea's world of crossover interoception, as a form of attunement, and it's entirely possible similar minds think alike. But if the message passed was from my dying wife, then the thesis is correct.

22. it is easy to see Eastern philosophy here but also, as Hoffman has explicidly expressed elsewhere, Western Idealism of the classic German 19th century formulations. Hoffman is often purely Hegelian in this talk.

23. of course not! the rest is wishful thinking 👍

24. Tom Campbell explains this very well in much more detail.

25. This is really interesting. I wish he would have delved into the subconscious.

26. Does Conciseness 'remember ' it's 'incarnation '? If it doesn't, it's learnt nothing?

27. 100% in concurrence. Came to the same conclusion on the headset/avatar concept long ago. What is 'reality' after all? Space-time is a conceptualization. Physics and thermodynamics you describe is simply a manifestation of this 'reality' which could be a thin curtain that is pulled back at 'death'.

28. My interpretation of Lyall Waston's book Supernature is just this.

29. jesus did it 2000 years ago. get used to it

30. Consciousness is above the minds limitations, the mind is what is witnessed by consciousness it's SELF.
    THE SELF pervades within everything, it is that silent awareness. Just as the eyes see, consciousness witnesses within and is One without a second.

31. And does memory survive death ? What value has to survive to death without remember anything ? It's the same thing as being dead ! 😮

32. It’s time to stop talking about space time. Time is fundamental and is NOT space.

33. Talking to people who have experienced a NDE (near Death experience) reveal that have gone far beyond such theories as 'mathematics' or other learned concepts; death is merely a transition from one level of awareness (consciousness), to another.
    It's a pity that so many who consider themselves to be 'learned' came up with such complicated theories which merely complicate matters. We are not the physical body— this is only a vehicle via which we have various experiences.

34. …it's suchness…no birth or death…consciousness is network, your body/your brain…is like a device…iphone/ipad/nokia, samsung, huawei etc….how 3G, 5G…each of you….when your device broke/dead….like your bio_body dead….the network still exists and your new device can connected_reborn…but in another ip_address….right? and your past imformation…still in the CLOUD…right?

35. Why would Consciousness wish to put itself in a Horror show as this world. 😩😩😩😥😥😥

36. Why do people want to suffer forever? If the ego continues suffering will continue.

37. If, if , if. Not much of an argument.

38. I am from the future you see
    
    Where we are forever fleeting
    
    Between you and me
    
    Parallel lives and deaths
    
    Mold us all the same
    
    Consciousness into
    
    Awareness drains
    
    To energy levels
    
    In our brains

39. Consciousness is the Prime state. Brain is transceiver. Does the internet disappear when a phone dies?

40. Ive watched many vids og Hoffman and each time something bothered me, I finally discovered what it was….I believe he is a high fuctioning schizophrenic.

41. I’m not a materialist, not a physicalist, but can’t stop asking the question; if consciousness is beyond the physical mind, why do people who wake up from comas have NO outer body experience? No dreams, no awareness of time passing, zero, nada. The same goes for being under anesthesia. Even tho you may have an out of body experience under anesthesia, you’re still experiencing via your brain. Even people who have near death experiences where there heart stops for several minutes, the brain is still on, working, giving you an experience. I’m not mocking anybody, I believe everyone’s experience and stories. I just need an explanation for why that doesn’t happen when you’re in a coma. And I love Hoffman, his lectures are amazing and I do believe in game theory and the notion that what we see are icons and not actual reality.

42. What's Death??

43. consciousness yes, ego "i", no….

44. No. If you want to live forever, you must gve up your consciousness. When the Soul awakens it devours the host consciousness. Thus, I and the father are one.
