Scientific proof to happiness and why pursuing it, can “change” your (perspective on) life?
Amit Goswami, Ph. D. is a retired professor from the theoretical physics department of the University of Oregon in Eugene, where he had served since 1968. He is a pioneer of the new paradigm of science called “science within consciousness”.
Goswami is the author of the highly successful textbook Quantum Mechanics that is used in Universities throughout the world. His two volume textbook for nonscientists, The Physicist’s View of Nature traces the decline and rediscovery of the concept of God within science.
Goswami has also written many popular books based on his research on quantum physics and consciousness. In his seminal book, The Self-Aware Universe, he solved the quantum measurement problem elucidating the famous observer effect while paving the path to a new paradigm of science based on the primacy of consciousness.
Subsequently, in The Visionary Window, Goswami demonstrated how science and spirituality could be integrated. In Physics of the Soul he developed a theory of survival after death and reincarnation. His book Quantum Creativity is a tour de force instruction about how to engage in both outer and inner creativity. The Quantum Doctor integrates conventional and alternative medicine.
In his latest book, God is Not Dead we explore what quantum physics tell us about our origins and how we should live.
In his private life, Goswami is a practitioner of spirituality and transformation. He calls himself a quantum activist. He appeared in the film”What the Bleep Do We Know”, “The Dalai Lama Renaissance”, and the award winning documentary “The Quantum Activist”.

"Question about a penis" at 1:05
really appreciate the expertise in expressing these complex ideas, mainly from ancient Indian vedas and upanishads, in a concise manner in English, knowing that lot of the concepts in Sanskrit gets lost in translation, and also connecting this with science esp. quantum physics
FUCK YOU AND YOUR DARWİN-SHİT!!!…
Go to Your Grandpa the Ape an learn somting usefull…
… You are all a big ZERO!
Allah is the Creator and You are such an idiot that can't give a shit about QUANTOM!!!

What the HELL is he talking about???
Thank you, beautiful Lilou for bringing us Dr. Goswami and his wisdom. Amazed me, also, your understanding and your capability of eliciting the science from Dr. Amit's reservoir of knowledge. Plus, you do it with such grace and sweetness. So, the key for approaching happiness is, definitely, consciousness. Love your interviews. Thank you, thank you, sweet and beautiful being.
Oh man, what bullshit!
haha lol.. @ 1:04 "what is ahhh ahh a penis?"
I really love this guy…
A brave new world is ahead.
Love yourself,your mind your body. Forgive yourself,and others = Happiness 😉
Happy is freedom from thought, be child like, stop being too much of an adult.
The materialist belief trap is identical to the religious belief trap in that both create people who are victims of their own certitude; both are convinced of the righteousness of their convictions and the infallibility of their reality paradigm. And the most destructive part is, once you “know that you know,” you rigidly close yourself off to any new, potentially useful information that falls outside of your beliefs. Might as well stick a fork in you, ‘cause you’re done – learning and growing.
I'm glad that you enjoy Rupert. Materialism is fine from the viewpoint of objective knowledge, and the primacy of Awareness/Existence is fine from the viewpoint of subjective knowledge. A full life needs subjective fulfillment in unchanging peace, harmony, joy, love, and creative intelligence, which are all structured in consciousness, along with knowledge, achievement, strength, and variety, which are all structured in changing relativity, characterized by a body in space, time, and causation.
Well, I want to thank you for pointing me in the direction of Rupert Spira. I am gaining a great deal from his words. And the fact that he rejects the materialist paradigm of reality (first came space/time, from which awareness arose) and instead argues that "Awareness was there first" makes me want to investigate him that much more. We in the West get so much materialist dogma drummed into our heads from birth, most people just assume that it is fact and shouldn't be questioned, as Spira does.
That person, perhaps as a prank, began feeding facts about James M. Huston Jr. to the child. Now, this is not necessarily the correct explanation. 6-year-olds can read books (How The Grinch Stole Christmas is rated at that level). Maybe the child has a history book hidden somewhere. A paragraph grabbed his imagination, and gave him nightmares. Only one simple explanation is needed for Occam's Razor to apply. No, it's not a counter-proof, but it's more than enough to suggest caution.
The case of James Linegar is perfect for people who are searching for something (not sure what), and who have not learned to think like a scientist–objectively and critically. A scientist or a skeptic would apply Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation is that an unknown person known by the child heard about the situation and noticed a connection with their friend or relative, pilot James M. Huston Jr…. (cont.)
I've been listening to Spira on "Buddha at the Gas Pump." At 21:06 – 23:58 he talks about how "Awareness (is) was there first" (before matter). At the conclusion of this exchange, Rick even uses the word "fundamentally" (about the nature of awareness), which Spira doesn't object to. It seems that Spira is in agreement that awareness (consciousness) is fundamental. As far as evidence of reincarnation being anecdotal, that's why they work so diligently to verify information. See James Linegar.
True, I won't be surprised if science someday actually discovers human consciousness through objective techniques. But I will already be living a better life (more loving, more clear-thinking) through meditation than I could achieve through objective understanding of our material environment.
I hope you understand that I'm not arguing against your doing what you enjoy on your own path, and doing it well.
For me, this subjective exploration (meditation twice a day) is the way I keep happy and balanced, and growing to a more functional life. I would never be satisfied with the world of the intellect, which you describe as your current worldview. For me, objective knowledge lacks the direct impact of subjective knowledge.
This spontaneous exploration, not dictated or limited by the technique used, results in an "inward dive" of appreciation of finer or less concrete levels of thinking. The process completes with the subtle leap from the finest impulse of thought to the freedom of the source of this impulse, in the most abstract level of life, below mind, which can be called samadhi, "restful alertness", "pure consciousness", and many other names….
Examples of such techniques are breathing awareness, which holds the awareness at the level of the physical body, and awareness of thoughts or feelings, which holds the awareness at the level of the mind or heart. In contrast, transcending (taught by TM and NSR, among others) is a natural method that stimulates the mind to be active, but without direction. In this method, the mind is free to follow its own tendencies. This means that it can explore fields of greater satisfaction and enjoyment…
In particular, most forms of meditation (a great tool for researching or experimenting with one's own inner subjective nature) lack the technique of transcending, by which samadhi (pure consciousness) can be reliably experienced. Therefore Mindfulness, Vipassana, Zazen, and hundreds, perhaps thousands of other approaches are limited to a set of traditional techniques that prevent consciousness from becoming pure, from being seen without any veiling by impurities or stresses….
This discussion about the overlap area between subjective and objective categories of knowledge is necessarily limited, but such limits don't apply to these two categories individually. Science, we know about, since it is taught in school (although not everyone chooses to study it). Subjective knowledge (philosophy, meditation, states of consciousness, etc.) is not very well known at all…
The area of overlap in subjective and objective forms of knowledge is in a subjective area that most people don't experience, except perhaps as "religious experience" (James) or "plateau experiences" (Maslow). It is in an objective area that physicists have not yet investigated clearly enough, given that they are still mostly bombarding particles with other particles, a very crude method of experimentation. But I agree with you that there is a possibility of real overlap there.
The team seems to spend much time in the public eye (radio, print, conferences), unlike scientists in more mature fields. I am not impressed that they have any persuasive scientific evidence to offer.
As to your point of view, I see nothing wrong with it, so long as it doesn't reject modifications or extensions out of hand. I'm always suspicious of opinions rigidly held, including my own…
by Occam's Razor, they are probably correct. Thus, there is no need for the additional weirdness of linking QM with human consciousness, so I don't believe it is correct.
As to the U of Va Medical School Division of Perceptual Studies, this group claims to study the paranormal "utilizing scientific methods," yet their argument for reincarnation is anecdote ("a young boy who has memories of a previous life in which he was his own grandfather")…
From the standpoint of an electron or photon, measuring (or observation) is a highly traumatic and energetic event, resulting in the complete destruction of the wavelet being observed. This is how nonlocalized, probabilistic QM transitions into our localized, deterministic regime (scale) of particles. Granted that QM is strange, but it is completely self-consistent and also predicts all of Newtonian mechanics as well. Given that these kinds of arguments are relatively elegant and simple, …
At our everyday scale, Newtonian mechanics applies almost exactly. At a far larger scale, special relativity becomes relevant. At a far smaller scale, quantum mechanics becomes relevant. At a tiny scale, matter and energy are more difficult to distinguish, and they both act like nonlocalized waves of probability. At our scale, such entities can only be observed by "collapsing" them into localized particles by colliding waves together….
Max Planck and several other founders of quantum mechanics felt moved to introduce human consciousness into the discussion. There is no actual evidence for this, and later physicists argued persuasively against a link with human consciousness. While I am not a physicist, I have done enough studying to come to my own conclusions. There's not enough space to summarize them here. One belief is that "physical intuition" or "common sense" depends on the scale of the context…. (cont)
. . of Virginia, etc.), which strongly suggests that consciousness is fundamental, as Planck (and the Buddha?) believed. And this physical reality frame is merely a learning lab for little chunks of the larger conscious system to learn and grow. All the conflicting self-interests makes this a perfect place to learn to “tame our egos” and start caring more about others (as Eastern philosophy teaches), thus evolving the entire conscious system. This is my current working model of reality.
