Rudolph Tanzi discusses the evolution of the brain and consciousness, his research on the genetics of neurological disease aided by meditation and lucid dreaming.
This interview is featured in the upcoming “Science and Nonduality Anthology Vol.5”. http://www.scienceandnonduality.com/product-category/store/
Dr. Rudolph Tanzi is the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard University, and Vice-Chair of Neurology and Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Tanzi co-discovered all three familial early-onset Alzheimer’s disease genes and several other neurological disease genes including that responsible for Wilson’s disease. As leader of the Alzheimer’s Genome Project, Dr. Tanzi has identified many other genes for the common late-onset form of AD. Dr. Tanzi serves on dozens of editorial and scientific advisory boards, and as Chair of the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund Research Consortium. He has received numerous awards, including the two highest awards for Alzheimer’s disease research: The Metropolitan Life Award and The Potamkin Prize.

This is my favorite presentation style by the way. Interviewers often dance around the question when writing it down like you did would have saved all of us so much time. If I could make one rule for the world it would be — only written questions are permitted. Half the people would discover their questions are meaningless and half of what remains would be found inconsequential. Thank you!
I have experience lucid dreaming but being on antidepressants seem to have shut that process down: I miss those brief flashes of insight.
Tremendous insights
Awesome with a capital A
Ask three questions from yourself after waking from a dream.
1. The observer of my dream was conscious or unconscious?
2. The observer of my dream was in my dream or in the universe?
3. Is the observer of my dream still conscious? If so then where?
Answers of these questions will enable us to understand that Consciousness exists independent of the brain.
This man has such an unassuming confidence and charismatic presence. Wonderful to listen to. Thanks
Genius
awesome reverand tanzi
Dr. Tanzi is awesome .
this was awesome.
I'm still not fond of the attempt to attack empiricism and the existence of external matter.. but it does make sense, that consciousness itself is a matrix that precedes anything we can call "material/substrata"
without consciousness there is no "self" to experience the external world, therefore awareness is first attention..
but we can't deny the subsequent attentions, the material world is a layer to this "awareness", and must be accepted to exist even if only on the grounds of positing a "shared reality" beyond ones identification of the body..
Somehow I get the feeling lucid dreaming =lsd 🙂
When does the talk about lucid dreaming start?
Tanzi is a rare and brilliant man! Absolutely fantastic. I wish all Scientists would stop focusing on their one myopic discipline and understand that the picture of reality is made up of many many puzzle pieces. They need to put piece aside their one lil piece……..and go looking for the other pieces. This will solve the puzzle of reality imo. ; )
My experience is that as soon as a dream is recognized as a dream it fades away within 10 seconds and one wakes up. It seems its not possible to continue an illusory world ones there is knowledge of its non-reality. If somebody have had other longer experiences like the ones mr chopra sell, please tell me.
great, thank!
When it is seen that the content of thought is consciousness, thought vanishes and consciousness remains. Consciousness is different from its object in that while objects vary consciousness remains constant.
What was the title of the Castaneda Book he referred to ? Ego's Gift? Can'T find that on amazon
Brilliant!
~ Your brain is used as a signal processor ~ Without it there would be no way to process anything ~ Insight understanding and intuition are all high level functions that are dependent on memory ~Your intuition is an extension of memory ~ it is in fact a vague recollection of past experiences ~
~ One thing i would like to point out is ~ We live in a multidimensional universe ~ Most people do not realize this ~ Because they do not have an expanded awareness ~ As a persons awareness expands they start to have “ Lucid Dreams ” ~ They then become aware of these alternate realities ~ You can also learn things faster in these alternate realities ~ Because they often times move at higher frequencies through time, space, then our own ~
~ We are not here to create we are here to remove those barriers and limitations placed on our minds that hinder self realization ~ As we go through this purification process our awareness expands, We then gain greater insight and deeper understanding of the world around us ~ If you want to expand your awareness you need to follow your intuition ~ If you follow your ego it will limit your awareness and place barriers on your minds ability to understand the true nature of reality ~ Your ego is only interested in defining itself and creating false realities where it can take center stage ~ Creativity is part of the finite universe ~ If you want a better understanding of the infinite then you need to let go of the finite ~
Nice !
