Wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, the collapse of the wave function, and entanglement all point to awareness being an intrinsic aspect of reality. Yet we are still trying to understand these phenomena within a worldview that assumes the real world to be that of space, time, and matter, and relegates consciousness to some artifact of brain processes. Yet the one thing of which we are certain is that we are aware. And it is the one thing the current worldview cannot account for. This profound anomaly will ultimately lead to the full paradigm shift to which contemporary physics is, unwittingly, pointing. With consciousness as primary, everything remains the same and everything changes. Mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry are unchanged. What changes is our assumption as
to what they are describing. They are not describing the unfolding of a physical world, but the unfolding of a universal self-aware field.
We are led to the conclusion that the entire cosmos is a vast field of knowing, knowing itself, and in that knowing creating for itself the appearance of a material world. Why then don’t we see it that way? Why does the material world appear devoid of consciousness?
Looking for consciousness in the material world – the world that appears in awareness – is like searching a map to find the paper on which the map is drawn. The closest we can come is a sign saying “You Are Here.”
Peter Russell
From the deep pools of Eastern wisdom, to the fast-paced rapids of
the West, Peter has mastered many fields, and synthesized them with
consummate artistry. He brings a sharp, critical mind to the challenge
of self-awakening. The next great frontier of human exploration, he
shows, is inner space – the development of the human mind. He
has degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and
computer science from the University of Cambridge in England, and
has written ten books in this area, including The Global Brain Awakens, Waking Up in Time, and From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness. http://www.peterrussell.com

??? Consciousness is magical and tangible like Water. The cycle of water is the cycle of the Soul. Scientists do not have tool to measure consciousness, or claim how it operates. The science of consciousness is: Art, philosophy, psychology and infinite more ways consciousness expresses itself, including the laboratory!! Check this out- https://youtu.be/jhsCZkU-edU
I enjoyed two things here: The content of the speech and the excellent way of conveying it. Thank you very much.
Excellent ..I wonder why he didnot use the term Reflected Consciousness.
We are not conscious. We don't have consciousness. We ARE consciousness. Advaita
Yes, my dual consciousness is always taking place. That is the primacy of my consciousness.
non dualism is
(the smartest, I mean)
to me the smarter person I've ever heard speak
Sounds like Mumbo Jumbo to me. Non duality is a new religion based on older concepts from different religions, like Atman of eastern beliefs, animism etc.
Reality is that humans need religion, to put in one bag everything that our mental capacities can not grasp, so now that Christianism, Socialism and other traditional beliefs are not kosher anymore, we try to find a new religion.
This was a nice talk until Russell began his misguided attack on (what he thinks of as) "science" – something he evidently knows very little about.
this is the field I have invested with much dedication into : the nature,the function ,the mechanics and the numerous processes of sensation ,perception ,references,memories,concepts formation,tabulating,monitoring,all those sensorial datas, to finally come to a personal interpretation and realise that the world out there is my ….

Enjoyed this talk……
Consciousness is the will of God in manifestation.
THANKS!!
When we say we are conscious, we are meaning we are aware of something. We are conscious of experience, any possible experience. Without an experience, we are not. No special experience is continuous but we are always experiencing. We experience ourself. Experience is made up out of fundamental relationships which are combined and manifest themselves.
The universe is in itself self-consistent and rational. Everything is the way it is because there is no other possibility left out.
Mind and consciousness, subject and object are different sides of the same.
Experience is always subjective. There is no objective experience. The brain with input is only another representation of reality as awareness of (at least one relationship, one relation, one property).
And since experience is put together and comprehended in mind, relations are accumulated and lead to thoughts and finally knowledge.
The late Dr. David R Hawkins has contributed much to this subject of subjective awareness and different levels or qualities of consciousness in a very useful way. I highly recommend his books especially power vs force.
This guy really did nail it in the first seconds of his speech when he raised his hand saying he didnt know what non-duality was, Then spent 25 mins trying to make a case for there being 2. I like this guy.
AN EXCELLENT TALK AS USUAL DONE BY PETER…SIMPLIFYING A SEEMINGLY COMPLEX VIEWPOINT OF AN ILLUSORY REALITY MADE OF NAME & FORM…THANKS FOR POSTING…I A(namarupa)M !!!
All interpretation and speculation. The thinking mechanism is so clever! You as you know yourself are conscious through the knowledge that has been put in you. In the absence of that knowledge you'd have no way of being conscious of anything and thus there'd be no you. Each and everyone of us is aware? This is built on the assumption that there is something there, a "self", an "I', a "soul', a "psyche", whatever. It's all bullshit rooted in a weird complex thought structure. I even question that as most of our thoughts are about thought and not actual thought. We don't "know" anything at all. We just "think" we do and that is the issue. Thought is like a machine only interested in its own continuity and it has divided and created so-called individuals in order to secure its continuity. What the hell is all this talk about experience? You have no way of having a direct experience of anything at all. It's the knowledge that is there that makes it possible to experience anything and so we actually are experiencing what we think we know about what we are looking at.
