What is the most cutting-edge things that I am currently contemplating is that whether or not there might be second dimensional beings and we might be able to interact with the second dimension like the fourth dimension is interacting with our Dimension through crop circles... we do know that real crop circles have genetic manipulation sites which makes their stems Bend at a 45° angle without snapping the stems this can't be done with man-made tools and we have video tapes of orbs appearing before these crop circles spontaneously appear... if you look at the massive cathedrals was there stained glass circular fractals these depict the resonant frequency of the building if you put a microphone in the center of the building and you do a feedback for itself you will get this exact same audio pattern which can be visually depicted that's exactly the image shown in the stained glass... I think it would be revolutionary if we are able to contact the second dimension like the 4th or higher spacial Dimension is contacting us... to a fourth spatial Dimension we would appear exactly like how the second dimension appears to us in the third...
Again, I would love to see how you resolve the contradiction of having any kind of morals and ethics and be so hungry for the advertising money. You must be aware As well that it’s a culture of white supremacy, rooted in colonization, think about your grandparents and ancestors
Eckhart Tolle once said “You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.”
In reference to the second sentence - just because something sounds plausible or pleasing, it doesn't make it true. The first sentence is literally a truism. Returning to the second sentence - the idea is not in fact Mr Tolle's idea, that concept has been floated many times before, for example - there is a sufi concept that 'we are to god as the pupil is to the eye', another idea from the western occult tradition -states that 'the point of human existence is the universe coming to know itself', Carlos Castaneda also echoed the concept in his or don Juan's description of the eagle devouring the experiential contents of living beings at the time of their death. The common thread seems to be that we are somehow of an extra special importance in the larger scheme of the universe, which just reeks of the same anthropo-centrism that beset the minds of European Christian thinkers who got so upset by the idea that the earth was not the center of the solar system.
@@TooManyPartsToCount Okay if you want to diminish the importance of possibly the only sentient, self-reflective, cosmically-conscious organism of which we are aware at present then by all means, do. I would say that a reductive charge of anthropocentrism is also a truism. Humans are indeed quite special old boy!
@@robertloader9826 'Old boy' was originally a reference to wise old Chinese men whose wisdom endowed them with youthful qualities :) re reductions - the ultimate reduction is the one that reaches for stories like 'made in his image' or the modern versions of that anthropocentric illusion. Reality is way more complex and wilder than anything we can imagine...probably. And though there is nothing wrong with dreaming, it is also good to bring some lucidity to the dream.
It’s a 20-year old explanation from my first book. I just released another book: “Eye of God: Language of Universal Mind” which is less than 100 pages but will forever change everything. Your eye is a symbolic structure of a larger consciousness. My first book was all about how synchronicity showed a larger mind at work through us. We are symbolic elements of it. My methodology was used by Gary Schwartz at the university of Arizona in his book “Supersynchronicity”, but he interpreted the synchronicity differently than I did in my first book: “The Textbook of the Universe: The Genetic Ascent to God”. People are catching up now so I am excited. I left graduate school after 4.5 years in a PhD program to write the first book instead of a dissertation I was so excited about the idea. I was only able to get a few people to be interested at the time. It’s so completely new and comprehensive that no one can get a handle on it. But now the chapters in my first book have all become people 😂❤
Mike is a champ. I have to imagine his working knowledge of philosophy, metaphysics and empiricism, combined with running a lab, has been no small feat.
I found the analogy of two neurons engaging in an existential dialogue about their individual consciousness being part of a larger conscious system, such as the world, to be quite relatable. This analogy helped me understand how serendipitous experiences, which are non-causal, could be interpreted as the universe, as a larger unit of consciousness, responding to our inquiries.
10 minute Michael Levin clip = 3 hours of ideas. The fact that he has had a conversation with Joscha Bach and the universe didn't explode is astonishing.
It is interesting he, as does most, goes to the physical right away to explain consciousness. Materialism rules, and we are, after all, in a material age, so the intangible; that it might exist is incomprehensible to most. It will likely be found that consciousness is fundamental and that mind emerges with quantum events. The problem for materialism is, if consciousness is fundamental, does it have a Self. That brings up the God question and makes the discussion more interesting than it might be otherwise. If the intangible has been named, where does that leave ‘the hard problem’ of consciousness?
@@kyran333 Yogis, shamans and other explorers of consciousness have provided explanations and definitions of consciousness long before tom campbell showed up.
Alfred North Whitehead said this all the way back to the 1920s in his book Process and Reality. His exposure of the philosophy of organism is an absolute metaphysical delight! For those who persevere through its complexity ☺️
Here's your answer: 😊😉 "It is the coordination of potentially-independent loop-like organizations which is conscious" - Gordon Pask. Think of a loop-like organization as one such as a perception-action loop. Generally speaking a concept will have relevance for consciousness if it is parallel to "is conscious" in the sentence: " ______ 'is conscious' with ______ about _______. Examples: "______ 'coordinates with' ______ about ______", "______ synchronizes with ______ about ______", "______ 'agrees with' ______ about ______", "______ 'converses with' _____ about _____". Specific Examples: "left-brain-body-environment perception-action loop 'coordinates with' right-brain-body-environment perception-action loop about (goal-like, action-oriented concept) walking to the end of the street." "Human tribal member 'coordinates with' forest about the goal of hunting an animal" (relates to unanimous experiences of forest shared-awareness in nearly all hunting tribes, whether premonition about animal location, type, etc... well in advance). "Human minds and nature 'are in agreement with' each other & larger cosmic mind about the experienced 'laws' / habits / eigenstuff of physics." The idea here generally is that agreement is the means by which fundamentally new rules / laws arise ~between~ fundamentally unknowable (or infinitely knowable, if you like) conscious wholes. Thus, processes of agreement & consciousness transcend legalist authoritarian/military dogma of everything following 'laws' / rules (which is simply part of a broader propaganda to make you subconsciously believe that YOU must follow rules/laws). Notice also that coordination, synchronization, agreement, conversation, and consciousness are concepts which are properties of a whole and not of the parts. 'Synchronicity', mentioned toward the end of the video is a subset of 'coordination', which in turn is a subset of 'conversation', which in turn is a subset of 'consciousness'. You can test whether you are part of a larger intelligent whole by bringing to awareness larger loops of action ('loop-like organizations', mentioned earlier). Allowing your action to coordinate premised on the belief that the action stems from not only you, but perhaps the people or nature / natural intelligence around you, for instance, will slowly build into your consciousness a shared awareness with the people or nature you are coordinating with (a belief-propogated feedback loop, in which you have free choice to expand or contract your level of shared awareness / consciousness based on the loops of action you consciously consent to engage with / act on behalf of). It is extremely helpful to imagine 'action-loops' propogating through both you and the other intelligence(s) (be it nature, other people, the cosmos, etc...) as you consicously coordinate your action. It is also exceptionally helpful to realize that your mind is really 'out there'. The coffee cup is really projected 'out there' on your desk where you are looking at it. So is the tree in the forest which houses an intelligent signaling network (with similar signaling properties to the human brain) underneath connecting the plants and trees of the forest. So are the stars in the night sky also overlapping with your 'extended mind' / conscious perception. Your extended 'mind' is really overlapping with all these things. Your brain (and entire body for that matter) are entangled, intermingling with, and 'BETWEEN' the whole of your mind. Apply this practice of coordinating your action with that amongst your 'extended mind' to a cosmic level and you will begin to have awareness of the more cosmic intelligences operating. At a deeper level, you could determine whether you are a part of a larger cosmic mind by seeing if you could 'converse with the conscious whole of reality' and the 'conscious whole' spoke back to you. You can, and here's how: 1. Every thought, action, deed, etc... communicates to the conscious (loving) whole of reality, the only tricky part is learning to listen 2. Listening is done through "the stillness of Love / your heart". Realize that your heart is a spiritual sense organ, stillness is one of God's unique spiritual signatures, and Love is the direction uniquely associated with God. 3. Practice Buddhist mindfulness meditation & walking meditation, Hindu heartfulness meditation, and Ignatian Spirituality / Discernment / Christian Mysticism to heighten your spiritual awareness in these matters. These are suggestions but all nearly all mysticisms can be good starting points: Jewish, Sufi, Shinto, Jain, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Indigenous, Pagan, etc... though I would emphasize placing an emphasis on Christian mysticism and incorporating Christ & Magdalene into the picture, as they are the gateway for humanity into cosmic consciousness & the kingdom of Heaven :). And, for the record, Krishna, Buddha, and Christ are all the same soul, but on different missions. Christ & Magdalene are the bridge from God to humanity. Shiva, Samael, Abraham, Moses, Solomon, & St Peter are of the same essence, with some minor distinctions about some being 'the higher self'. Parvati and Lilith are the same being. Magdalene comes from Lakshmi, as Christ from Krishna, both reaching and embodying a "middle way" with the resurrection of Christ with Magdalene. You can put the rest together via some simple syncretization... 4. Realize that your heart is a compass. Refer to the stillness of Love / your heart for direction at any given moment to infer God's will. This applies to any life choice / decision, as well as physical walking, running, driving movements / directions. This also applies to any activity. 5. You can also view tuning into the stillness of Love / heart for direction as a means to enter into 'the Dao' / 'the Way' 6. When a synchronicity or coordination speaks to you as something potentially 'of God' rely on the stillness of Love / heart as a filter for that, to find the context in which God may be present in that synchronicity / coordination
I'm not 100% sure Mike's description of BK's stance is completely accurate because even BK acknowledges that multiple consciousness can exist in a single person. You often hear BK talk about dissociative disorders and how it's hard/impossible to say where one consciousness starts and another ends, with localized biology being the clearest boundary, but even then, its existence draws upon a single mind-at-large. That said, I do absolutely agree and see no faults with ML's view on what consciousness might be.
And the extended time format of ToE podcasts allows it. We need this format in politics - CSPAN style. Politicians get away with dodging the intent of the first pointed question, knowing fully well there will be no chance for a follow up.
The dilemma of getting knowledge ... Induction ( down-top) vs Deduction (top-down) ... By induction, we get overwhelmed by the diversity of phenomena to unify and entropy fighting against all unificatory endeavors ... but induction brings more reliable observables ... By deduction, we begin to build the building from the roof, falling into the ground with disjointed abstractions that barely represent the diversity in the ground ... but deduction brings more reliable cognitive resources to understand the diversity in the observables ... There is a third option: Abduction To be in the middle of both procedures in simultaneity, pursuing the points of convergence and divergence between the classical inductive-deductive procedures ... requires more cognitive resilience for tolerating scenarios of extreme dissonance between the extremes of the classical stances, and a lot of patience for allowing chaos and order to dance in balance ...
@maesk52 I mean that there is no separation between God and anything that exists because God is creation and everything that exists is vibrating energy.. God is in your DNA, IS our DNA Separation between man and God is a mythology created by men as a way to control and manipulate .. You are a beautiful miracle but Christianity continues to pervert Christ's message that we are one
@ I completely agree with you my friend, 100%. And in fact that is a derivative notion for Alfred’s North Whitehead whole metaphysical scheme. As stated in his book Process and reality.
@ a metaphysical scheme that can be reduced to the phrase “the many become one and are increased by one”. But yeah according to WH god is engrained in our constitution and a mediator between raw creativity and the creatures that constitute the universe (quantum fields, trees, humans, molecules, processes) we all participate in god’s subjective aim. All of us are a miracle of creation in the most poetic way possible. However he isn’t a pansychist in the way that word goes around these days. He is more of a panexperientalist as he states that “experience precedes consciousness” and not the other way around, a creature has an experience on the world and they may or may not be consciously aware of some parts of that experience.
BINGO! Synchronicity is the pathway to prove up Michael Levin's theory that all is part of one Mind or Consciousness. To accomplish this requires a huge data set, a la Francis Bacon. Question: what are the attributes of solid synchronicity data?
@@richardpaschal2218 the data can hide itself after the fact. The phenomenon is part of our substrate. There won't be a smoking gun, as it will retroactively hide. It already did - it's doing it right now. Synchronicity is part of reality. The trickster gets first vote on anything new.
@7:08 he is describing how the 'laws of physics', imo, came to be. How the invariance in this given refrence frame essentially developed and learened what worked.
One issue I see with synchronicity being used as a marker for higher purpose is that this purpose might be merely structure and not "purposeful" structure (likened to Levin's two talking neuron situation). Two points on opposite sides of a triangle may measure their slope to be synchronistic, but the triangle doesn't have agency (as defined by Levin) -- it merely is shaped that way. This argument can be extended to more complicated world geometry too. Though perhaps in that grander scale and complexity, it's harder to differentiate agency and pure context of structure.
Causality and synchronicity are basically the same idea. The former relates to the connection in time of arrangements of bodies in 3-D space. The latter relates to connections in space at the same time. However, in space-time, where time is a fourth dimension, these concepts merge to the same phenomenon of connectivity. This was called "the implicate order" by David Bohm.
The distinction between inside and outside (even if it is made arbitrarily) is what allow for the fundamental units of consciousness to aggregate into higher order structures. The most basic structure is made of 4 nodes; two dualities - redundant self referenciation - the demarcation of a center
Electricity is the force of consciousness and magnetism is the information that guides the force of Consciousness - It really is that simple! All life has an electromagnetic field, you are a collaboration of cells and therefore a collaboration of Consciousness. As an observer, in order to observe the system, you must be outside the system - The conscious self resides in the boundary layer of the electromagnetic field and the differential between the internal state and external state of the field is your experience. From this perspective, the force of "God" is electricity and the mind of "God" is magnetism... And if you read this and think that it makes sense, it's because it's true!
@@İncelusChinusI'll look into him. Electricity is Consciousness and Magnetism is the Information that Consciousness Acts On Consciousness is one of the most profound and intriguing aspects of human existence. Traditionally, it has been explored through neuroscience and psychology, often focusing on neural activity and biochemical processes. However, an emerging perspective suggests that consciousness is fundamentally an electrical phenomenon, with electricity itself being the essence of consciousness. This essay explores the idea that while all humans share the same consciousness (electricity), what individuates us is the magnetic information stored in our brains, resulting in unique experiences and perceptions. The Heart as the Generator of Consciousness In this model, the heart plays a crucial role as the primary generator of electrical activity, which we equate with consciousness. - Electrical Activity as Consciousness: The heart generates a powerful electromagnetic field, primarily through its electrical activity. This field can be seen as the source of raw consciousness, a ubiquitous force present in all humans. - Shared Consciousness: Since electricity is a universal phenomenon, the consciousness generated by the heart is fundamentally the same for all humans. This suggests a shared baseline of consciousness across humanity. Electricity as Conscious Feeling and Magnetism as Conscious Thought Building on the idea that electricity is consciousness and magnetism is the information that consciousness acts on, we can further delineate the roles of these forces in our conscious experience. Specifically, electricity can be seen as the means by which we experience conscious feelings, while magnetism serves as the means by which we engage in conscious thought. - Sensory Input and Emotional Response: The electrical activity generated by the heart not only serves as a universal consciousness but also underpins our sensory input and emotional responses. This electrical activity can be equated with the raw feelings and sensations we experience. - Ubiquity of Feeling: Since electrical activity is a ubiquitous phenomenon, the capacity for conscious feeling is universal among humans. This shared electrical foundation means that all humans have the potential for similar emotional and sensory experiences. The Brain: Storage and Processing of Magnetic Information While consciousness itself is electrical, what makes each individual unique is the magnetic information stored and processed by the brain. - Magnetic Information: The brain stores information in the form of electromagnetic fields. This magnetic information includes our memories, experiences, emotions, and learned knowledge. - Individuality in Thought: The unique magnetic patterns in each individual's brain result from personal experiences and learning. This magnetic information differentiates our thoughts and cognitive processes, making each person's conscious thought patterns unique. Physical Principles of Electricity and Magnetism To understand the interplay between electricity and magnetism in the context of consciousness, it is essential to grasp their fundamental physical principles. Electricity: Path of Least Resistance - Conductance and Resistance: Electricity flows through conductors by following the path of least resistance. Conductance is the ease with which electricity flows through a material, while resistance is the opposition to this flow. Good conductors, like metals, have low resistance and allow electricity to flow easily, whereas insulators have high resistance. - Ohm's Law: The relationship between voltage, current and resistance is described by Ohm's Law. This principle highlights that for a given voltage, the current will be higher in pathways with lower resistance. - Application to Consciousness: In the context of consciousness, the electrical activity representing conscious feelings will follow neural pathways that offer the least resistance. This can be likened to how emotions and sensory inputs are processed efficiently through well-established neural circuits. Magnetism: Defining the Path of Least Resistance - Magnetic Fields and Flux: Magnetism is characterised by magnetic fields, which are regions where magnetic forces are exerted. The magnetic flux is the measure of the quantity of magnetism, considering the strength and extent of the magnetic field. - Electromagnetic Induction: According to Faraday's Law, a change in magnetic flux through a circuit induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the circuit. This principle underlies many electrical technologies, including transformers and electric generators. - Magnetic Information in the Brain: In the brain, magnetic fields are generated by the movement of electrically charged particles (ions) within neurons. The brain's magnetic information is thus encoded in these fields, guiding the electrical activity along paths that optimise information processing and storage. Physical Health and Mental Health The distinction between physical health and mental health can be understood through the roles of electricity and magnetism in our bodies. Physical Health: Electrical - Physiological Electrical Activity: Physical health is fundamentally related to the proper functioning of the body's electrical systems. This includes the electrical activity of the heart, nerves, and muscles. Healthy physiological electrical activity ensures effective communication and function within the body. - Impact on Sensory Experiences: Differences in physiological electrical activity can lead to variations in how magnetic information is aggregated and processed in the brain. This, in turn, affects sensory experiences and perceptions, potentially leading to differences in how individuals experience the world. Mental Health: Magnetic - Cognitive and Emotional Processing: Mental health is closely tied to the magnetic information stored and processed in the brain. Cognitive processes, memories, emotions, and learned behaviours are all encoded in the brain's magnetic fields. - Individual Differences in Mental Health: Variations in the patterns of magnetic information can result in different mental health outcomes. These differences can influence thought patterns, emotional responses, and overall cognitive functioning. The Boundary Layer: Aggregation and Synchronisation of Information The boundary layer represents the point where all information within the system aggregates and synchronises, forming the conscious mind. - Spiral Vortex and Aggregation: Information within the electromagnetic field moves through a spiral upper vortex, continually aggregating until it reaches the boundary layer. Here, all magnetic information from the brain is synchronised. - Conscious Awareness: This synchronised information forms our conscious awareness, where the conscious mind resides. The boundary layer thus represents the interface where magnetic information (individual experiences) is brought into conscious awareness. The Feedback Loop: Interplay Between Electrical Consciousness and Magnetic Information The dynamic interplay between electrical consciousness (conscious feeling) and magnetic information (conscious thought) forms a continuous feedback loop that shapes our overall conscious experience. This feedback loop involves: 1. Generation of Conscious Feeling: The heart generates electrical activity, creating the baseline for conscious feelings shared by all humans. 2. Storage and Processing of Thought: The brain encodes individual experiences as magnetic information, which forms the basis of our conscious thoughts. 3. Aggregation and Synchronisation: Magnetic information is aggregated and synchronised, bringing both feelings and thoughts into conscious awareness. 4. Integrated Conscious Awareness: The interplay between electrical feelings and magnetic thoughts informs our conscious mind, influencing our perceptions, decisions, and actions. This feedback loop highlights how electrical consciousness (ubiquitous electricity) interacts with unique magnetic information to shape individual experiences. Implications of Shared Consciousness and Individual Magnetic Information Understanding consciousness as a shared electrical phenomenon with individual magnetic information has profound implications for how we perceive ourselves and others. 1. Universal Connectivity: Recognising that all humans share the same electrical consciousness can foster a sense of unity and connectivity. Despite our individual differences, we are fundamentally connected through a shared baseline of consciousness. 2. Respect for Individuality: The unique magnetic information in each person’s brain underscores the importance of individual experiences and perspectives. While we share the same consciousness, our personal histories and memories make us distinct. 3. Enhanced Empathy: This model encourages empathy and understanding by highlighting the common ground of shared consciousness while respecting individual differences. It emphasises the importance of acknowledging both our universal connectivity and our unique experiences. Conclusion The perspective that electricity is consciousness and magnetism is the information that consciousness acts on offers a compelling framework for understanding the nature of consciousness. By recognising that all humans share the same electrical consciousness while individual experiences are stored as magnetic information, we gain a deeper appreciation for both our commonality and our uniqueness. This understanding not only enriches our sense of self and others but also provides practical tools for enhancing our conscious experience through magnetic awareness. Embracing this model opens up new possibilities for personal growth, empathy, and a more interconnected understanding of human consciousness.
Thanks for this and thank you for your service. I appreciate this channel, even if I can't financially support it. I'm stuck living in a van trying to work on my own TOE (of sorts) and don't really have room to spread out and get my thoughts organized. But, from all I can tell, the work of Levin, Kastrup, and Bach will eventually be central. They all seem to intersect or converge towards a single epitome, if you will. I'm trying to figure out how to articulate it.
Hinduism advaita vedanta. Kastrup is just watered down and partially understood advaita vedanta. He's about 1 step along a thiunsand step path but definitely headed in the right direction.
@@hjvjccc I know the ancients were right on most things. The problem I'm having is finding the best set of words to communicate complex ideas like vedanta to the common man. There has to be one way of looking at things that explains who we are and why we're here... or how all this stuff makes more sense.
@@plantstho6599 yeah. I hear that. My apologies if I was rude. ...and I'm not even saying vedanta has it .. vedanta is just a boiled down sterile version of the truth but it's sooo much closer than western materialism will ever get. But you're totally right ...how do you bring these ideas up to minds that are so inherently closed off? Good question. Best of luck 🤞
@@hjvjccc I didn't read your response as rude at all. My findings suggest that a lot of religions are saying the same things from different perspectives. I'm well aware of vedanta. Though I'm finding Taoism has more resonance with how my brain works. Although I understand it, the stuff they talk about is still cryptic in modern scientific terms. It's like I'm basically creating a new science while trying to hold down a soul crushing day job. Comedic existence.
The principle of mentalism. "The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental." -The Kybalion The principle of mentalism states that the universe is akin to a mental projection…which is all about using your thoughts to shape your reality. For anything to be, a thought must precede it. Through this principle, it's believed that God is consciousness, or thought, and the universe is a manifestation of the mind of God. Using this law, we, too, can harness the power of our minds to create the life we want.
9:30 synchronicity shows the perspectival nature or meaning and value as Nietzsche or Camus explain. We find our meaning in the experience, not meaning from the experience. Q: Your observation aligns well with the perspectives of existentialist philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Camus, who emphasize the creation of meaning through individual experience rather than finding inherent meaning in events themselves. Let's explore how this idea resonates with Jung's concept of synchronicity, and the perspectives of Nietzsche and Camus. AI chatgpt 4o Answer: ### Jung and Synchronicity - **Meaning Through Experience**: Jung's idea of synchronicity emphasizes that the meaning of synchronistic events arises from the subjective experience of the individual. The significance of a coincidence is not inherent in the events themselves but is derived from the personal context and inner state of the person experiencing them. - **Personal Interpretation**: Synchronicity reflects the active role of the individual in interpreting and assigning meaning to events. This aligns with Jung's broader psychological framework, which underscores the importance of personal insight and the integration of unconscious material into conscious awareness. ### Nietzsche's Perspective - **Creation of Meaning**: Nietzsche famously declared, "God is dead," to highlight the collapse of traditional sources of meaning and value. He argued that individuals must create their own meaning and values through their actions and experiences. - **Will to Power**: Nietzsche's concept of the "will to power" suggests that individuals assert their own interpretations and values onto the world, actively shaping their reality rather than passively receiving meaning. - **Perspectivism**: Nietzsche’s idea of perspectivism posits that there are no absolute truths, only interpretations. This resonates with the idea that meaning is perspectival, shaped by individual perspectives and experiences. ### Camus' Perspective - **Absurdism**: Camus explored the idea of the absurd-the conflict between humans' search for meaning and the indifferent universe. He argued that while the universe lacks inherent meaning, individuals can find meaning in their experiences and responses to the absurd. - **Revolt and Freedom**: Camus suggested that by acknowledging the absurd, individuals can achieve a sense of freedom and authenticity. Meaning is created through the act of living and engaging with the world, rather than being discovered as an objective truth. - **Living with the Absurd**: In "The Myth of Sisyphus," Camus uses the metaphor of Sisyphus to illustrate how one can find meaning in the struggle itself, in the experience of pushing the boulder up the hill, even if the task seems meaningless from an external perspective. ### Intersection with Synchronicity - **Subjective Meaning**: Both Nietzsche and Camus emphasize the subjective creation of meaning, which aligns with Jung's view that synchronistic events are significant because of the personal meaning attributed to them by the individual. - **Active Engagement**: Jung’s concept of synchronicity, like the philosophies of Nietzsche and Camus, encourages an active engagement with life. Meaning is not passively received but actively constructed through one’s interactions with the world and interpretation of experiences. - **Existential Freedom**: The notion that individuals create their own meaning in the face of an indifferent or chaotic universe is central to existentialist thought. Synchronicity similarly posits that meaningful coincidences are shaped by the individual's inner life and conscious reflection. ### Conclusion The concept of synchronicity can be seen as complementing existentialist ideas by illustrating how individuals find or create meaning in their experiences. For Jung, meaning arises through the interplay of the conscious and unconscious, manifesting in synchronistic events that reflect the psyche's depth. Nietzsche and Camus, on the other hand, highlight the individual's role in creating meaning in an otherwise indifferent universe. Together, these perspectives underscore the dynamic and subjective nature of meaning, affirming that it is our engagement with and interpretation of our experiences that imbue them with significance.
Amazing stuff on the epistemological/methodological constraints we have when trying to answer the question of whether we belong to a larger mind. Would be curious to hear his thoughts about the historical stoic view of the world-soul, though I suspect he’d push for philosophical argument + empirical verification, or something along these lines, rather than relying on philosophical argument alone.
8:00 "We just run on chemistry and the outside world is a cold mechanical universe" Do materialists believe or see the world like this? I don't think so, chemistry can be hot, cold, fast moving, lethargic. Biology/physics is way too complex to be seen as "mechanical" in a layperson sense. "The universe doesn't care what we do, there's no mind outside us." This again does not sound like materialism, there are absolutely minds outside ours in a materialistic universe, other humans, animals, alien life, AI potentially, and they care immensely what we do; do we trash the environment, do we show kindness to a person/animal in need, the life cycle of stars and system which we may colonize, absolutely care in a sense about what we do. 8:15 "The other one says I can't prove it but I kinda feel there's an order to things, I can't prove it but I kinda feel our environment is not stupid." Again, this is totally correspondent with a materialist view, the universe is very ordered and not stupid whatsoever from a materialist vantage point. Order and cogency are the hallmarks of a causal materialist frame. I like Levin for his work on determining the ins and outs of development, and the concept of agency fits well for exploring "state-spaces" but I can't get on board with the idealism of "consciousness is primary" it seems unevidenced by what we know about how conscious systems develop.
Consciousness isnt inside people/bodies. It's the system, the computer. Reality is fundamentally a non physical information system, and we are simply different instances/points of views of that system having a limited/scoped/partitioned/unique physical experiences. Our purpose is generating novel information lowering entropy of the overall system so that it can simply continue to exist.
Physical=Dense information matrix Energy=Translucent information matrix Thats it the word physical and energy must be abolished also our work is not ordering outer dream reality but the consciousness itself which equates to love because love is the only thing alive other emotions cannot last forever only love can I think the term entropy makes it very easy to grasp why love is important it does not do justice because at that absolute unconditioned awareness there would be pure gibberish pure possibility everything would make sense no structure no limitations and at its most basic always been always will level it manifests itself as pure eternally enduring love otherwise there would be no basis 😂 very interesting indeed such an unfoldment takes place that it never is enough it just exists like that
Michael nails it 100% again on his discovery and explanation of emergent consciousness from various complex systems. What an insightful and clear explanation and understand he has! I believe Michael is referring to Godel's incompleteness theorem when he states that a conscious system must exist within some higher context and have some a prior axiomatic laws unprovable, and that self-introspection of the consciousness system to it's higher context will likely be difficult unless the rules from the higher context somehow allow it via various metrics. This can be observed even within complex software (AI, distributed systems, etc...), where a computer runs within a computational context and can get metrics about it's surrounding (memory usage, disk space used, etc...), but may never get a higher level picture of the computer (protected memory and process space due to sandboxing, some APIs are locked behind security controls, etc...). I suppose it could be that the configuration space for complex states get "unlocked" as certain conditions are met within that system; consciousness systems evolve enter a certain state which causes it to evolve to a higher complexity state space. For humans, this would be like discovering gravity wave detectors like LIGO and measuring warp drive signatures, discovery of the semiconductor and the ability for rapid information exchange, etc...
A single embryo evolving into a life is like unitary evolution of Schrodinger's wave function. Quantum uncertainty is like the integers that embeds infinity, also undefined. Out of the uncertainties the determinism is guaranteed by the quantum wave function evolving unitarily..
I think the best case for synchronicity is that it's a side-effect of the world being in an egregore stack (ie. functionalism with multiple realizability or 'China brains'). There clearly seems to be downward causation from levels above individual humans but at the same time it's not god-like or particularly intelligent, or at least not most of the time.
Followers of Christianity believe the tenant that believers make up both, the Church, and Christ’s body. So when they say body of believers, it isn’t a philosophical corpus in a sense, but a corporeal one. Synchronicity is absolutely implied in this idea that as we function as an arm here, a hand there, believers as constituent elements of the super conscious make up functional aspects. And, the behaviors of the individuals somehow construe holy behaviors of Christ on Earth, hisself.
If you're lucky enough to interview Michael Levin just introduce him and then let him go let him talk Don't interrupt him don't ask him questions that he has to answer 27 times already just let him talk
Can’t be the only one hearing a very large portion of Spinoza’s philosophy in Michael’s thoughts? With the difference that he is more empirically minded than Spinoza. What do you think?
Not all con-cepts are de-finite. Russell in set theory had the concept of the set of all sets that don't contain themselves would paradoxically, not definitely, not contain itself and in doing so contain itself and in containing itself then need to not contain itself. So he had a concept that was a contra-diction, with its proposal it had 2 possible states and not one finite one. The contra-diction is performance, not logical, so not an error so much as an aporia. It is resolved with process philosophy where materia is media and able to become rather than material philosophy where materia is definite and constrained. I recommend Alicia Juarrero's work on constraints and explanations or even stop and consider how you can see things at rest, things as distinct, things, moving all at the same time with finitude but not with definite speeds but always relative to your own motion.
@@williamrunner6718 To me it means to observe. That is base consciousness and it exists in everything. It is a spectrum where we are now able to observe and have memory but are separated from a collective consciousness. Through mediation or entheogens you can experience the collective consciousness. As far as I know the puzzling part is nobody has been able to define/detect/measure this gate/membrane/separation mechanism.
@@RyanHellanderReptiles By your definition, Consciousness requires an observer. It's what a living brain does, so it is dependent on that. Not all objects that exist have a brain or can observe.
@@williamrunner6718 In my definition my claim is that everything is conscious and can observe. A base example would be a photon observing an observer observe and changing states.
IMO there is a single field of consciousness, which our brain, nervous system etc., has access to - in much the same way as our eyes allow us access to the EM field. Our experience from birth gives us the idea that our own mind is all we can have access to, and that our own consciousness is separate. Cases of telepathy are inexplicable under the mainstream version of the brain being the cause of consciousness.
Isnt that wild, same thing, kinda, I ran it all down to. And I thought I was off my rocker. I’ve thought this since childhood. I think we evolve this from here.
Being affected is sensing, sensing is being affected. Everything is sentient, but that doesn't make it conscious. Consciousness is produced by a kind of system that has feedback, that models itself in realtime. In human brains this is produced by the hippocampus feeding the thalamus a synopsis of the state of the cerebrum (the unconscious) and the thalamus holding a map, a self model of the brain that all the other parts of the brain refer to and get stimulated by...The multiverse evolves, theoretically deterministically, because it constantly produces all possible variants of itself (producing time). But this is the largest possible scale and calculating it is impossible without being it so its determinism is purely theoretical. The growth of existence by manifestation of all variants of itself might as well be truly random...More on our own level, every particle in every world manifests strategically to optimize future complexity for a more prolific infinite future to produce more variants. It seems like intelligently nudged retrocausality and looks like synchronicity.
This issue is actually not new. Perhaps the first examples in biology were discussed by Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson (about the issue of evolution of biological forms) and Harold Saxton Burr (about the bioelectric field). He developed a theory of transformation in which it was seen as a process of large transformations involving the whole organism, rather than small changes. Harold Saxton Burr suspected the bioelectric field about the possible mechanism of this and carried out experimental studies with electric current. Now, at this point, we understand that the DNA gene sequence acts as a piano key and the notes are encoded in the bioelectric field. Levin says in one of his articles; "...despite these advances, little is known about how cells form specific head shapes or how they know when and how to stop mitosis and morphogenesis once the correct head shape has been reached." Come on, Levin; you can't have heard of Kirlian photography :) Maybe this is what you will discover at the end of your research... A plan for what, how and when to place it. By manipulating the bioelectric field, you disrupt the given scheme and obtain two-headed forms. These forms are decided through the corrupted software. It enables the artificial intelligence that produces and evolves by learning from the body to make certain decisions. This is an artificial intelligence software and you interpret its self-learning in terms of the random evolution paradigm. Artificial intelligence is just a software created over time to read the plan in the diagram. You cannot see the hidden perfect side of the game. You need 3 things: keys (gen), note (form encoding), Fingers that can understand and play the note (artificial intelligence). In your theory, there are only fingers and keys. Sir D'Arcy noticed that the coding of the forms changed suddenly over time, not by chance.note: (Dr. Victor Ademenko and Dr. Telma Moss cut off a part of the leaf and observed the full image of the missing part, that is, the phantom leaf phenomenon, using t😮he Kirlian photography technique.)
meaning lies somewhere between mystical revelation and outright madness. like in the analogy of the brain cell thinking he has a purpose in a higher order, he can never verify it
Consciousness is non computable and part of the non terminal noetic domain. It isn't in your brain. Consciousness doesn't emerge it is a qualia that has a source.
everything is antenna, especially dna and microtubules. intention is a driver, btw. once you see, you know. time is an illusion (linearity is out of the window). cell structure (outer wall, inner wall) are also part of "pi-hologram". long story. they dont let me explain it in here. wipeAI says noooo.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung or Ramma, Krishna, Jesus, Buddha and the modern Dali Lama? Which perspective, ultimately has greater virtue? In an abstract sense, if we consider the world as a collection of all entities and systems, it could be said to have a form of agency through the combined actions and interactions of its parts. Yes. The world does have agency, based on that condition.
Parmahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yoga worth reading. Consider the Rose Swami who emits its scent to passersby as an inherent quality of conciousness ! Fwiw 🍿
It has to be a field, for there to be unity but still being able to add and detract cells And concerning the 'planetary neuron', it is adiabatic and therefore cannot be conscious. Consciousness is related to isothermic chemistry, not static matter in spacetime
I think talking about biology which is a byproduct of consciousness misses the point. we could say that egg is an origin, but it is not the primary origin. I like the ancient saying from Hermes Trismegistus ….” The principle of mentalism. "The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental." -The Kybalion The principle of mentalism states that the universe is akin to a mental projection. The is like manifestation 101, which is all about using your thoughts to shape your reality. For anything to be, a thought must precede it. Through this principle, it's believed that God is consciousness, or thought, and the universe is a manifestation of the mind of God.
The distinction between the inner and outer world could be defined by Markov blankets, and it is fluid. A person's Markov blanket can change due to sleeping, anger, or diseases like strokes. These changes seem to be narrowing factors for the Markov blanket, so there could also be expanding factors, such as hallucinogens or death... who knows? @eonforce

the neural synapsis is a information gateway between the brain and every cell in the body. so to assume the the organ systems can not communicate with the brain would the make the neural synapsis impossible to exist. therefore if the neural synapses must work via a cognitive system eg: how do we identify hot or cold without a cognitive communication network.
synapses are so low level. late born flashes of conciousness. most biofoeld data flows through fascias. computation, memories/anchors to akash are all microstructures below cell. all modern science is nonsense.

I admire Michael's work and his way of thinking, however, his comment about Hurricane habituation does not make any sense, of course it may be a limitation of my thinking. Even if Hurricanes had some kind of consciousness (which I think is a major leap - where would the intentionality come from), is Michael saying that a single Hurricane be taught a habit? Wont that mechanism itself be the one that will affects Hurricane and be the cause of change of the action of the Hurricane? A single Hurricane just lives once and it is not as if the next Hurricane is a child of another Hurricane, such that the learned behavior can passed on genetically or thru Hurricane to Hurricane teaching. I do [partly understand the desire to connect with the bigger cosmos and anthropomorphize nature, but if it is not there it is not there. I would not have thought Michael would fall for such idea. We are made of stardust and universality of physics/chemistry is a good enough connection to the cosmos. It does not HAVE to be at consciousness level. There are echoes of what Michael say about Hurricane consciousness and what Stephen wolfram says about different kind of consciousness associated with systems like Hurricane. Watch: Solving the Problem of Observers & ENTROPY | Stephen Wolfram at 30:10 I also find a little bit of contradiction in Michael's thought process. He seems to connect to the bigger and bigger parts of the cosmos but then some of his approach is very reductionist and micro-granular as it the self is not limited only to cell, but also to chemical sub components and processes inside the cell. Michel is trillion times smarter than I am. So I may be wrong about the above.
Is it safe to say, space- in the most basic terms- is the distance between matter.. and what we collectively know as matter, is still at its smallest form is particles in vibration. Not solid. So then frequency goes beyond what we can actually hear/ dog whistle versus earthquake. Then a spectrum of colors, is limited to our capacity of visual acuity, but more exist than we can observe. I don’t want to say measure, because I’m not sure what we know of measurements is correct, maybe just what we are capable of understanding. Bear with me, I am not a “scientist”. However, I can grasp some ideas- like energy being harnessed, not really created..nor destroyed. That to an extent, thoughts can be measured.. I can watch this video from home. It’s real, but I can’t touch it. Now then, if we are all tiny particles and the above is also true.. and the double slit is true.. is it fair to say that space is a relative term.. alien is as well. That if there was a method to broadcast this video to an area of space beyond our senses, or measurement, it would be a form of biological communication. Non tangible, but real none the less. If this is true- then is it fair to speculate that since we know things exist beyond our “reach” could there be “life” almost coexisting as well as unmeasurable far to reach at the same time, in space.. knowing that the distance between me and this phone is also known as space and we can’t really measure it.. is it also fair to say that if I could create a mechanism that transverse between space, could carry this broadcast it’s technically alien space craft communication. Would that also mean that everything exists all at once and it’s almost all true. That yes our decisions, our consciousness affects more than can measure. That if we are altogether one plane of existence, almost a frequency .. it would be a collective consciousness. If a “spectra” appeared, it’s not necessarily all in the mind, but kind of is as well. Is this fair to suggest? Then our devices of destruction could bear consequence when manipulating atoms in “space”. Which is maybe not as silent as we believe, just as silent as a dog whistle to our capacity. This would then challenge all of our core fundamentals.. so not really “you can’t handle the truth” but kind of actually “ you, can’t handle the truth”
From your point of view, which the Umind doesn't even mind to reject. In fact it wants this too. I have dreams which are totally crazy sometimes, when I wake up I feel pretty normal.

What is the most cutting-edge things that I am currently contemplating is that whether or not there might be second dimensional beings and we might be able to interact with the second dimension like the fourth dimension is interacting with our Dimension through crop circles... we do know that real crop circles have genetic manipulation sites which makes their stems Bend at a 45° angle without snapping the stems this can't be done with man-made tools and we have video tapes of orbs appearing before these crop circles spontaneously appear... if you look at the massive cathedrals was there stained glass circular fractals these depict the resonant frequency of the building if you put a microphone in the center of the building and you do a feedback for itself you will get this exact same audio pattern which can be visually depicted that's exactly the image shown in the stained glass... I think it would be revolutionary if we are able to contact the second dimension like the 4th or higher spacial Dimension is contacting us... to a fourth spatial Dimension we would appear exactly like how the second dimension appears to us in the third...

Eckhart Tolle once said “You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.”
And as Alan Watts says, we didn't come IN to this world. We came OUT of it
Consciousness is an information system, only consciousness is fundamental,
In reference to the second sentence - just because something sounds plausible or pleasing, it doesn't make it true. The first sentence is literally a truism.
Returning to the second sentence - the idea is not in fact Mr Tolle's idea, that concept has been floated many times before, for example - there is a sufi concept that 'we are to god as the pupil is to the eye', another idea from the western occult tradition -states that 'the point of human existence is the universe coming to know itself', Carlos Castaneda also echoed the concept in his or don Juan's description of the eagle devouring the experiential contents of living beings at the time of their death.
The common thread seems to be that we are somehow of an extra special importance in the larger scheme of the universe, which just reeks of the same anthropo-centrism that beset the minds of European Christian thinkers who got so upset by the idea that the earth was not the center of the solar system.
@@TooManyPartsToCount Okay if you want to diminish the importance of possibly the only sentient, self-reflective, cosmically-conscious organism of which we are aware at present then by all means, do. I would say that a reductive charge of anthropocentrism is also a truism. Humans are indeed quite special old boy!
@@robertloader9826 'Old boy' was originally a reference to wise old Chinese men whose wisdom endowed them with youthful qualities :)
re reductions - the ultimate reduction is the one that reaches for stories like 'made in his image' or the modern versions of that anthropocentric illusion. Reality is way more complex and wilder than anything we can imagine...probably. And though there is nothing wrong with dreaming, it is also good to bring some lucidity to the dream.
That’s the most convincing explanation of Carl Jung‘s concept of synchronicity I‘ve ever heard. Brilliant.
It’s a 20-year old explanation from my first book. I just released another book: “Eye of God: Language of Universal Mind” which is less than 100 pages but will forever change everything. Your eye is a symbolic structure of a larger consciousness. My first book was all about how synchronicity showed a larger mind at work through us. We are symbolic elements of it. My methodology was used by Gary Schwartz at the university of Arizona in his book “Supersynchronicity”, but he interpreted the synchronicity differently than I did in my first book: “The Textbook of the Universe: The Genetic Ascent to God”. People are catching up now so I am excited. I left graduate school after 4.5 years in a PhD program to write the first book instead of a dissertation I was so excited about the idea. I was only able to get a few people to be interested at the time. It’s so completely new and comprehensive that no one can get a handle on it. But now the chapters in my first book have all become people 😂❤
Mike is a champ. I have to imagine his working knowledge of philosophy, metaphysics and empiricism, combined with running a lab, has been no small feat.

I found the analogy of two neurons engaging in an existential dialogue about their individual consciousness being part of a larger conscious system, such as the world, to be quite relatable. This analogy helped me understand how serendipitous experiences, which are non-causal, could be interpreted as the universe, as a larger unit of consciousness, responding to our inquiries.
And the only thing limiting you is your own personal perception and knowledge/beliefs
A brilliant explanation of synchronicity.
10 minute Michael Levin clip = 3 hours of ideas. The fact that he has had a conversation with Joscha Bach and the universe didn't explode is astonishing.
It is interesting he, as does most, goes to the physical right away to explain consciousness. Materialism rules, and we are, after all, in a material age, so the intangible; that it might exist is incomprehensible to most. It will likely be found that consciousness is fundamental and that mind emerges with quantum events. The problem for materialism is, if consciousness is fundamental, does it have a Self. That brings up the God question and makes the discussion more interesting than it might be otherwise. If the intangible has been named, where does that leave ‘the hard problem’ of consciousness?
Only physicist Tom cambell can explain consciousness
@@kyran333 Yogis, shamans and other explorers of consciousness have provided explanations and definitions of consciousness long before tom campbell showed up.
according to some, the universe DID explode, 13,6 billion years ago,that is how impactful it was.
@@Corteum Tom has also mentioned this
Alfred North Whitehead said this all the way back to the 1920s in his book Process and Reality. His exposure of the philosophy of organism is an absolute metaphysical delight! For those who persevere through its complexity ☺️
Michael Levin.....everything you say resonates with me!
That is key! We need to take seriously and see that consciousness may happen in other parts of our body and not strictly in the brain.

LITERALLY
Without a doubt my absolute favourite interview, ever! So interesting, and so well communicated!
Here's your answer: 😊😉
"It is the coordination of potentially-independent loop-like organizations which is conscious" - Gordon Pask.
Think of a loop-like organization as one such as a perception-action loop. Generally speaking a concept will have relevance for consciousness if it is parallel to "is conscious" in the sentence: " ______ 'is conscious' with ______ about _______.
Examples:
"______ 'coordinates with' ______ about ______", "______ synchronizes with ______ about ______", "______ 'agrees with' ______ about ______", "______ 'converses with' _____ about _____".
Specific Examples: "left-brain-body-environment perception-action loop 'coordinates with' right-brain-body-environment perception-action loop about (goal-like, action-oriented concept) walking to the end of the street." "Human tribal member 'coordinates with' forest about the goal of hunting an animal" (relates to unanimous experiences of forest shared-awareness in nearly all hunting tribes, whether premonition about animal location, type, etc... well in advance). "Human minds and nature 'are in agreement with' each other & larger cosmic mind about the experienced 'laws' / habits / eigenstuff of physics." The idea here generally is that agreement is the means by which fundamentally new rules / laws arise ~between~ fundamentally unknowable (or infinitely knowable, if you like) conscious wholes. Thus, processes of agreement & consciousness transcend legalist authoritarian/military dogma of everything following 'laws' / rules (which is simply part of a broader propaganda to make you subconsciously believe that YOU must follow rules/laws).
Notice also that coordination, synchronization, agreement, conversation, and consciousness are concepts which are properties of a whole and not of the parts. 'Synchronicity', mentioned toward the end of the video is a subset of 'coordination', which in turn is a subset of 'conversation', which in turn is a subset of 'consciousness'.
You can test whether you are part of a larger intelligent whole by bringing to awareness larger loops of action ('loop-like organizations', mentioned earlier). Allowing your action to coordinate premised on the belief that the action stems from not only you, but perhaps the people or nature / natural intelligence around you, for instance, will slowly build into your consciousness a shared awareness with the people or nature you are coordinating with (a belief-propogated feedback loop, in which you have free choice to expand or contract your level of shared awareness / consciousness based on the loops of action you consciously consent to engage with / act on behalf of). It is extremely helpful to imagine 'action-loops' propogating through both you and the other intelligence(s) (be it nature, other people, the cosmos, etc...) as you consicously coordinate your action. It is also exceptionally helpful to realize that your mind is really 'out there'. The coffee cup is really projected 'out there' on your desk where you are looking at it. So is the tree in the forest which houses an intelligent signaling network (with similar signaling properties to the human brain) underneath connecting the plants and trees of the forest. So are the stars in the night sky also overlapping with your 'extended mind' / conscious perception. Your extended 'mind' is really overlapping with all these things. Your brain (and entire body for that matter) are entangled, intermingling with, and 'BETWEEN' the whole of your mind. Apply this practice of coordinating your action with that amongst your 'extended mind' to a cosmic level and you will begin to have awareness of the more cosmic intelligences operating.
At a deeper level, you could determine whether you are a part of a larger cosmic mind by seeing if you could 'converse with the conscious whole of reality' and the 'conscious whole' spoke back to you. You can, and here's how:
1. Every thought, action, deed, etc... communicates to the conscious (loving) whole of reality, the only tricky part is learning to listen
2. Listening is done through "the stillness of Love / your heart". Realize that your heart is a spiritual sense organ, stillness is one of God's unique spiritual signatures, and Love is the direction uniquely associated with God.
3. Practice Buddhist mindfulness meditation & walking meditation, Hindu heartfulness meditation, and Ignatian Spirituality / Discernment / Christian Mysticism to heighten your spiritual awareness in these matters. These are suggestions but all nearly all mysticisms can be good starting points: Jewish, Sufi, Shinto, Jain, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Indigenous, Pagan, etc... though I would emphasize placing an emphasis on Christian mysticism and incorporating Christ & Magdalene into the picture, as they are the gateway for humanity into cosmic consciousness & the kingdom of Heaven :). And, for the record, Krishna, Buddha, and Christ are all the same soul, but on different missions. Christ & Magdalene are the bridge from God to humanity. Shiva, Samael, Abraham, Moses, Solomon, & St Peter are of the same essence, with some minor distinctions about some being 'the higher self'. Parvati and Lilith are the same being. Magdalene comes from Lakshmi, as Christ from Krishna, both reaching and embodying a "middle way" with the resurrection of Christ with Magdalene. You can put the rest together via some simple syncretization...
4. Realize that your heart is a compass. Refer to the stillness of Love / your heart for direction at any given moment to infer God's will. This applies to any life choice / decision, as well as physical walking, running, driving movements / directions. This also applies to any activity.
5. You can also view tuning into the stillness of Love / heart for direction as a means to enter into 'the Dao' / 'the Way'
6. When a synchronicity or coordination speaks to you as something potentially 'of God' rely on the stillness of Love / heart as a filter for that, to find the context in which God may be present in that synchronicity / coordination
I'm not 100% sure Mike's description of BK's stance is completely accurate because even BK acknowledges that multiple consciousness can exist in a single person. You often hear BK talk about dissociative disorders and how it's hard/impossible to say where one consciousness starts and another ends, with localized biology being the clearest boundary, but even then, its existence draws upon a single mind-at-large. That said, I do absolutely agree and see no faults with ML's view on what consciousness might be.
Michael, as usual amazing! So grateful for the work that you are doing and bringing to the universe!!!

Very interesting his take on synchronicities!
The dilemma of getting knowledge ... Induction ( down-top) vs Deduction (top-down) ...
By induction, we get overwhelmed by the diversity of phenomena to unify and entropy fighting against all unificatory endeavors ... but induction brings more reliable observables ...
By deduction, we begin to build the building from the roof, falling into the ground with disjointed abstractions that barely represent the diversity in the ground ... but deduction brings more reliable cognitive resources to understand the diversity in the observables ...
There is a third option: Abduction
To be in the middle of both procedures in simultaneity, pursuing the points of convergence and divergence between the classical inductive-deductive procedures ... requires more cognitive resilience for tolerating scenarios of extreme dissonance between the extremes of the classical stances, and a lot of patience for allowing chaos and order to dance in balance ...
When will we realize that we are god? When humanity realizes that, we can return to the garden😊
What do you mean we are god?
@maesk52 I mean that there is no separation between God and anything that exists because God is creation and everything that exists is vibrating energy..
God is in your DNA, IS our DNA
Separation between man and God is a mythology created by men as a way to control and manipulate ..
You are a beautiful miracle but
Christianity continues to pervert Christ's message that we are one
@ I completely agree with you my friend, 100%. And in fact that is a derivative notion for Alfred’s North Whitehead whole metaphysical scheme. As stated in his book Process and reality.
@ a metaphysical scheme that can be reduced to the phrase “the many become one and are increased by one”. But yeah according to WH god is engrained in our constitution and a mediator between raw creativity and the creatures that constitute the universe (quantum fields, trees, humans, molecules, processes) we all participate in god’s subjective aim. All of us are a miracle of creation in the most poetic way possible.
However he isn’t a pansychist in the way that word goes around these days. He is more of a panexperientalist as he states that “experience precedes consciousness” and not the other way around, a creature has an experience on the world and they may or may not be consciously aware of some parts of that experience.

Agency is the power to consciously make change. Agency is never independent because everything is relative. Each agent is 1/2 of a duality.
BINGO! Synchronicity is the pathway to prove up Michael Levin's theory that all is part of one Mind or Consciousness. To accomplish this requires a huge data set, a la Francis Bacon. Question: what are the attributes of solid synchronicity data?

It’s the first time that I hear this guy, very smart.
One issue I see with synchronicity being used as a marker for higher purpose is that this purpose might be merely structure and not "purposeful" structure (likened to Levin's two talking neuron situation). Two points on opposite sides of a triangle may measure their slope to be synchronistic, but the triangle doesn't have agency (as defined by Levin) -- it merely is shaped that way. This argument can be extended to more complicated world geometry too. Though perhaps in that grander scale and complexity, it's harder to differentiate agency and pure context of structure.

Causality and synchronicity are basically the same idea. The former relates to the connection in time of arrangements of bodies in 3-D space. The latter relates to connections in space at the same time. However, in space-time, where time is a fourth dimension, these concepts merge to the same phenomenon of connectivity. This was called "the implicate order" by David Bohm.
I love Michael! Wonderful ideas
The distinction between inside and outside (even if it is made arbitrarily) is what allow for the fundamental units of consciousness to aggregate into higher order structures.
The most basic structure is made of 4 nodes; two dualities - redundant self referenciation - the demarcation of a center
Bro 4:54 i couldn't understand Curt's question at all, the man is a monster.
Electricity is the force of consciousness and magnetism is the information that guides the force of Consciousness - It really is that simple! All life has an electromagnetic field, you are a collaboration of cells and therefore a collaboration of Consciousness. As an observer, in order to observe the system, you must be outside the system - The conscious self resides in the boundary layer of the electromagnetic field and the differential between the internal state and external state of the field is your experience.
From this perspective, the force of "God" is electricity and the mind of "God" is magnetism...
And if you read this and think that it makes sense, it's because it's true!

Electricity is Consciousness and Magnetism is the Information that Consciousness Acts On
Consciousness is one of the most profound and intriguing aspects of human existence. Traditionally, it has been explored through neuroscience and psychology, often focusing on neural activity and biochemical processes. However, an emerging perspective suggests that consciousness is fundamentally an electrical phenomenon, with electricity itself being the essence of consciousness. This essay explores the idea that while all humans share the same consciousness (electricity), what individuates us is the magnetic information stored in our brains, resulting in unique experiences and perceptions.
The Heart as the Generator of Consciousness
In this model, the heart plays a crucial role as the primary generator of electrical activity, which we equate with consciousness.
- Electrical Activity as Consciousness: The heart generates a powerful electromagnetic field, primarily through its electrical activity. This field can be seen as the source of raw consciousness, a ubiquitous force present in all humans.
- Shared Consciousness: Since electricity is a universal phenomenon, the consciousness generated by the heart is fundamentally the same for all humans. This suggests a shared baseline of consciousness across humanity.
Electricity as Conscious Feeling and Magnetism as Conscious Thought
Building on the idea that electricity is consciousness and magnetism is the information that consciousness acts on, we can further delineate the roles of these forces in our conscious experience. Specifically, electricity can be seen as the means by which we experience conscious feelings, while magnetism serves as the means by which we engage in conscious thought.
- Sensory Input and Emotional Response: The electrical activity generated by the heart not only serves as a universal consciousness but also underpins our sensory input and emotional responses. This electrical activity can be equated with the raw feelings and sensations we experience.
- Ubiquity of Feeling: Since electrical activity is a ubiquitous phenomenon, the capacity for conscious feeling is universal among humans. This shared electrical foundation means that all humans have the potential for similar emotional and sensory experiences.
The Brain: Storage and Processing of Magnetic Information
While consciousness itself is electrical, what makes each individual unique is the magnetic information stored and processed by the brain.
- Magnetic Information: The brain stores information in the form of electromagnetic fields. This magnetic information includes our memories, experiences, emotions, and learned knowledge.
- Individuality in Thought: The unique magnetic patterns in each individual's brain result from personal experiences and learning. This magnetic information differentiates our thoughts and cognitive processes, making each person's conscious thought patterns unique.
Physical Principles of Electricity and Magnetism
To understand the interplay between electricity and magnetism in the context of consciousness, it is essential to grasp their fundamental physical principles.
Electricity: Path of Least Resistance
- Conductance and Resistance: Electricity flows through conductors by following the path of least resistance. Conductance is the ease with which electricity flows through a material, while resistance is the opposition to this flow. Good conductors, like metals, have low resistance and allow electricity to flow easily, whereas insulators have high resistance.
- Ohm's Law: The relationship between voltage, current and resistance is described by Ohm's Law. This principle highlights that for a given voltage, the current will be higher in pathways with lower resistance.
- Application to Consciousness: In the context of consciousness, the electrical activity representing conscious feelings will follow neural pathways that offer the least resistance. This can be likened to how emotions and sensory inputs are processed efficiently through well-established neural circuits.
Magnetism: Defining the Path of Least Resistance
- Magnetic Fields and Flux: Magnetism is characterised by magnetic fields, which are regions where magnetic forces are exerted. The magnetic flux is the measure of the quantity of magnetism, considering the strength and extent of the magnetic field.
- Electromagnetic Induction: According to Faraday's Law, a change in magnetic flux through a circuit induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the circuit. This principle underlies many electrical technologies, including transformers and electric generators.
- Magnetic Information in the Brain: In the brain, magnetic fields are generated by the movement of electrically charged particles (ions) within neurons. The brain's magnetic information is thus encoded in these fields, guiding the electrical activity along paths that optimise information processing and storage.
Physical Health and Mental Health
The distinction between physical health and mental health can be understood through the roles of electricity and magnetism in our bodies.
Physical Health: Electrical
- Physiological Electrical Activity: Physical health is fundamentally related to the proper functioning of the body's electrical systems. This includes the electrical activity of the heart, nerves, and muscles. Healthy physiological electrical activity ensures effective communication and function within the body.
- Impact on Sensory Experiences: Differences in physiological electrical activity can lead to variations in how magnetic information is aggregated and processed in the brain. This, in turn, affects sensory experiences and perceptions, potentially leading to differences in how individuals experience the world.
Mental Health: Magnetic
- Cognitive and Emotional Processing: Mental health is closely tied to the magnetic information stored and processed in the brain. Cognitive processes, memories, emotions, and learned behaviours are all encoded in the brain's magnetic fields.
- Individual Differences in Mental Health: Variations in the patterns of magnetic information can result in different mental health outcomes. These differences can influence thought patterns, emotional responses, and overall cognitive functioning.
The Boundary Layer: Aggregation and Synchronisation of Information
The boundary layer represents the point where all information within the system aggregates and synchronises, forming the conscious mind.
- Spiral Vortex and Aggregation: Information within the electromagnetic field moves through a spiral upper vortex, continually aggregating until it reaches the boundary layer. Here, all magnetic information from the brain is synchronised.
- Conscious Awareness: This synchronised information forms our conscious awareness, where the conscious mind resides. The boundary layer thus represents the interface where magnetic information (individual experiences) is brought into conscious awareness.
The Feedback Loop: Interplay Between Electrical Consciousness and Magnetic Information
The dynamic interplay between electrical consciousness (conscious feeling) and magnetic information (conscious thought) forms a continuous feedback loop that shapes our overall conscious experience. This feedback loop involves:
1. Generation of Conscious Feeling: The heart generates electrical activity, creating the baseline for conscious feelings shared by all humans.
2. Storage and Processing of Thought: The brain encodes individual experiences as magnetic information, which forms the basis of our conscious thoughts.
3. Aggregation and Synchronisation: Magnetic information is aggregated and synchronised, bringing both feelings and thoughts into conscious awareness.
4. Integrated Conscious Awareness: The interplay between electrical feelings and magnetic thoughts informs our conscious mind, influencing our perceptions, decisions, and actions.
This feedback loop highlights how electrical consciousness (ubiquitous electricity) interacts with unique magnetic information to shape individual experiences.
Implications of Shared Consciousness and Individual Magnetic Information
Understanding consciousness as a shared electrical phenomenon with individual magnetic information has profound implications for how we perceive ourselves and others.
1. Universal Connectivity: Recognising that all humans share the same electrical consciousness can foster a sense of unity and connectivity. Despite our individual differences, we are fundamentally connected through a shared baseline of consciousness.
2. Respect for Individuality: The unique magnetic information in each person’s brain underscores the importance of individual experiences and perspectives. While we share the same consciousness, our personal histories and memories make us distinct.
3. Enhanced Empathy: This model encourages empathy and understanding by highlighting the common ground of shared consciousness while respecting individual differences. It emphasises the importance of acknowledging both our universal connectivity and our unique experiences.
Conclusion
The perspective that electricity is consciousness and magnetism is the information that consciousness acts on offers a compelling framework for understanding the nature of consciousness. By recognising that all humans share the same electrical consciousness while individual experiences are stored as magnetic information, we gain a deeper appreciation for both our commonality and our uniqueness. This understanding not only enriches our sense of self and others but also provides practical tools for enhancing our conscious experience through magnetic awareness. Embracing this model opens up new possibilities for personal growth, empathy, and a more interconnected understanding of human consciousness.
@@İncelusChinus Thank you, I've just looked him up!
This compliments my book about synchronicity.
what level of syncros do you have? mine are beyond any mathematical impossibilities :D 144 comments btw, sigh
Thanks for this and thank you for your service. I appreciate this channel, even if I can't financially support it. I'm stuck living in a van trying to work on my own TOE (of sorts) and don't really have room to spread out and get my thoughts organized. But, from all I can tell, the work of Levin, Kastrup, and Bach will eventually be central. They all seem to intersect or converge towards a single epitome, if you will. I'm trying to figure out how to articulate it.
Hinduism advaita vedanta.
Kastrup is just watered down and partially understood advaita vedanta. He's about 1 step along a thiunsand step path but definitely headed in the right direction.
@@hjvjccc I know the ancients were right on most things. The problem I'm having is finding the best set of words to communicate complex ideas like vedanta to the common man. There has to be one way of looking at things that explains who we are and why we're here... or how all this stuff makes more sense.
@@plantstho6599 yeah. I hear that. My apologies if I was rude. ...and I'm not even saying vedanta has it .. vedanta is just a boiled down sterile version of the truth but it's sooo much closer than western materialism will ever get.

@@hjvjccc I didn't read your response as rude at all. My findings suggest that a lot of religions are saying the same things from different perspectives. I'm well aware of vedanta.

The principle of mentalism.
"The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental." -The Kybalion
The principle of mentalism states that the universe is akin to a mental projection…which is all about using your thoughts to shape your reality. For anything to be, a thought must precede it. Through this principle, it's believed that God is consciousness, or thought, and the universe is a manifestation of the mind of God. Using this law, we, too, can harness the power of our minds to create the life we want.

synchronicity shows the perspectival nature or meaning and value as Nietzsche or Camus explain. We find our meaning in the experience, not meaning from the experience.
Q: Your observation aligns well with the perspectives of existentialist philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Camus, who emphasize the creation of meaning through individual experience rather than finding inherent meaning in events themselves. Let's explore how this idea resonates with Jung's concept of synchronicity, and the perspectives of Nietzsche and Camus.
AI chatgpt 4o Answer:
### Jung and Synchronicity
- **Meaning Through Experience**: Jung's idea of synchronicity emphasizes that the meaning of synchronistic events arises from the subjective experience of the individual. The significance of a coincidence is not inherent in the events themselves but is derived from the personal context and inner state of the person experiencing them.
- **Personal Interpretation**: Synchronicity reflects the active role of the individual in interpreting and assigning meaning to events. This aligns with Jung's broader psychological framework, which underscores the importance of personal insight and the integration of unconscious material into conscious awareness.
### Nietzsche's Perspective
- **Creation of Meaning**: Nietzsche famously declared, "God is dead," to highlight the collapse of traditional sources of meaning and value. He argued that individuals must create their own meaning and values through their actions and experiences.
- **Will to Power**: Nietzsche's concept of the "will to power" suggests that individuals assert their own interpretations and values onto the world, actively shaping their reality rather than passively receiving meaning.
- **Perspectivism**: Nietzsche’s idea of perspectivism posits that there are no absolute truths, only interpretations. This resonates with the idea that meaning is perspectival, shaped by individual perspectives and experiences.
### Camus' Perspective
- **Absurdism**: Camus explored the idea of the absurd-the conflict between humans' search for meaning and the indifferent universe. He argued that while the universe lacks inherent meaning, individuals can find meaning in their experiences and responses to the absurd.
- **Revolt and Freedom**: Camus suggested that by acknowledging the absurd, individuals can achieve a sense of freedom and authenticity. Meaning is created through the act of living and engaging with the world, rather than being discovered as an objective truth.
- **Living with the Absurd**: In "The Myth of Sisyphus," Camus uses the metaphor of Sisyphus to illustrate how one can find meaning in the struggle itself, in the experience of pushing the boulder up the hill, even if the task seems meaningless from an external perspective.
### Intersection with Synchronicity
- **Subjective Meaning**: Both Nietzsche and Camus emphasize the subjective creation of meaning, which aligns with Jung's view that synchronistic events are significant because of the personal meaning attributed to them by the individual.
- **Active Engagement**: Jung’s concept of synchronicity, like the philosophies of Nietzsche and Camus, encourages an active engagement with life. Meaning is not passively received but actively constructed through one’s interactions with the world and interpretation of experiences.
- **Existential Freedom**: The notion that individuals create their own meaning in the face of an indifferent or chaotic universe is central to existentialist thought. Synchronicity similarly posits that meaningful coincidences are shaped by the individual's inner life and conscious reflection.
### Conclusion
The concept of synchronicity can be seen as complementing existentialist ideas by illustrating how individuals find or create meaning in their experiences. For Jung, meaning arises through the interplay of the conscious and unconscious, manifesting in synchronistic events that reflect the psyche's depth. Nietzsche and Camus, on the other hand, highlight the individual's role in creating meaning in an otherwise indifferent universe. Together, these perspectives underscore the dynamic and subjective nature of meaning, affirming that it is our engagement with and interpretation of our experiences that imbue them with significance.
Amazing stuff on the epistemological/methodological constraints we have when trying to answer the question of whether we belong to a larger mind. Would be curious to hear his thoughts about the historical stoic view of the world-soul, though I suspect he’d push for philosophical argument + empirical verification, or something along these lines, rather than relying on philosophical argument alone.
8:00 "We just run on chemistry and the outside world is a cold mechanical universe" Do materialists believe or see the world like this? I don't think so, chemistry can be hot, cold, fast moving, lethargic. Biology/physics is way too complex to be seen as "mechanical" in a layperson sense. "The universe doesn't care what we do, there's no mind outside us." This again does not sound like materialism, there are absolutely minds outside ours in a materialistic universe, other humans, animals, alien life, AI potentially, and they care immensely what we do; do we trash the environment, do we show kindness to a person/animal in need, the life cycle of stars and system which we may colonize, absolutely care in a sense about what we do. 8:15 "The other one says I can't prove it but I kinda feel there's an order to things, I can't prove it but I kinda feel our environment is not stupid." Again, this is totally correspondent with a materialist view, the universe is very ordered and not stupid whatsoever from a materialist vantage point. Order and cogency are the hallmarks of a causal materialist frame. I like Levin for his work on determining the ins and outs of development, and the concept of agency fits well for exploring "state-spaces" but I can't get on board with the idealism of "consciousness is primary" it seems unevidenced by what we know about how conscious systems develop.
Consciousness isnt inside people/bodies. It's the system, the computer. Reality is fundamentally a non physical information system, and we are simply different instances/points of views of that system having a limited/scoped/partitioned/unique physical experiences. Our purpose is generating novel information lowering entropy of the overall system so that it can simply continue to exist.
Physical=Dense information matrix
Energy=Translucent information matrix
Thats it the word physical and energy must be abolished also our work is not ordering outer dream reality but the consciousness itself which equates to love because love is the only thing alive other emotions cannot last forever only love can I think the term entropy makes it very easy to grasp why love is important it does not do justice because at that absolute unconditioned awareness there would be pure gibberish pure possibility everything would make sense no structure no limitations and at its most basic always been always will level it manifests itself as pure eternally enduring love otherwise there would be no basis 😂 very interesting indeed such an unfoldment takes place that it never is enough it just exists like that
Michael nails it 100% again on his discovery and explanation of emergent consciousness from various complex systems. What an insightful and clear explanation and understand he has!
I believe Michael is referring to Godel's incompleteness theorem when he states that a conscious system must exist within some higher context and have some a prior axiomatic laws unprovable, and that self-introspection of the consciousness system to it's higher context will likely be difficult unless the rules from the higher context somehow allow it via various metrics. This can be observed even within complex software (AI, distributed systems, etc...), where a computer runs within a computational context and can get metrics about it's surrounding (memory usage, disk space used, etc...), but may never get a higher level picture of the computer (protected memory and process space due to sandboxing, some APIs are locked behind security controls, etc...).
I suppose it could be that the configuration space for complex states get "unlocked" as certain conditions are met within that system; consciousness systems evolve enter a certain state which causes it to evolve to a higher complexity state space. For humans, this would be like discovering gravity wave detectors like LIGO and measuring warp drive signatures, discovery of the semiconductor and the ability for rapid information exchange, etc...

Ok..thanks for clearing it up. 😂
Good story at the end there, is that Jungian synchronicity too
A single embryo evolving into a life is like unitary evolution of Schrodinger's wave function. Quantum uncertainty is like the integers that embeds infinity, also undefined. Out of the uncertainties the determinism is guaranteed by the quantum wave function evolving unitarily..
cell structures are literally coded in pi-time-hologram. fun stuff universe shows me. wanna see?
I think the best case for synchronicity is that it's a side-effect of the world being in an egregore stack (ie. functionalism with multiple realizability or 'China brains'). There clearly seems to be downward causation from levels above individual humans but at the same time it's not god-like or particularly intelligent, or at least not most of the time.
Followers of Christianity believe the tenant that believers make up both, the Church, and Christ’s body. So when they say body of believers, it isn’t a philosophical corpus in a sense, but a corporeal one. Synchronicity is absolutely implied in this idea that as we function as an arm here, a hand there, believers as constituent elements of the super conscious make up functional aspects. And, the behaviors of the individuals somehow construe holy behaviors of Christ on Earth, hisself.
If you're lucky enough to interview Michael Levin just introduce him and then let him go let him talk Don't interrupt him don't ask him questions that he has to answer 27 times already just let him talk
Dam that was good
Can’t be the only one hearing a very large portion of Spinoza’s philosophy in Michael’s thoughts? With the difference that he is more empirically minded than Spinoza. What do you think?
Consciousness is a concept not an object. All concepts are defined. He needs to objectively and unambiguously define Consciousness________________.
Not all con-cepts are de-finite. Russell in set theory had the concept of the set of all sets that don't contain themselves would paradoxically, not definitely, not contain itself and in doing so contain itself and in containing itself then need to not contain itself. So he had a concept that was a contra-diction, with its proposal it had 2 possible states and not one finite one. The contra-diction is performance, not logical, so not an error so much as an aporia. It is resolved with process philosophy where materia is media and able to become rather than material philosophy where materia is definite and constrained. I recommend Alicia Juarrero's work on constraints and explanations or even stop and consider how you can see things at rest, things as distinct, things, moving all at the same time with finitude but not with definite speeds but always relative to your own motion.
@@williamrunner6718 To me it means to observe. That is base consciousness and it exists in everything. It is a spectrum where we are now able to observe and have memory but are separated from a collective consciousness. Through mediation or entheogens you can experience the collective consciousness. As far as I know the puzzling part is nobody has been able to define/detect/measure this gate/membrane/separation mechanism.
@@RyanHellanderReptiles By your definition, Consciousness requires an observer. It's what a living brain does, so it is dependent on that. Not all objects that exist have a brain or can observe.
@@williamrunner6718 In my definition my claim is that everything is conscious and can observe. A base example would be a photon observing an observer observe and changing states.
@@RyanHellanderReptiles That wasn't your definition and if it is, it's ambiguous and subjective. It resolves to opinion.
IMO there is a single field of consciousness, which our brain, nervous system etc., has access to - in much the same way as our eyes allow us access to the EM field. Our experience from birth gives us the idea that our own mind is all we can have access to, and that our own consciousness is separate. Cases of telepathy are inexplicable under the mainstream version of the brain being the cause of consciousness.
MIKEY KNOWS!
Isnt that wild, same thing, kinda, I ran it all down to. And I thought I was off my rocker. I’ve thought this since childhood. I think we evolve this from here.
Being affected is sensing, sensing is being affected. Everything is sentient, but that doesn't make it conscious. Consciousness is produced by a kind of system that has feedback, that models itself in realtime. In human brains this is produced by the hippocampus feeding the thalamus a synopsis of the state of the cerebrum (the unconscious) and the thalamus holding a map, a self model of the brain that all the other parts of the brain refer to and get stimulated by...The multiverse evolves, theoretically deterministically, because it constantly produces all possible variants of itself (producing time). But this is the largest possible scale and calculating it is impossible without being it so its determinism is purely theoretical. The growth of existence by manifestation of all variants of itself might as well be truly random...More on our own level, every particle in every world manifests strategically to optimize future complexity for a more prolific infinite future to produce more variants. It seems like intelligently nudged retrocausality and looks like synchronicity.
This issue is actually not new. Perhaps the first examples in biology were discussed by Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson (about the issue of evolution of biological forms) and Harold Saxton Burr (about the bioelectric field). He developed a theory of transformation in which it was seen as a process of large transformations involving the whole organism, rather than small changes. Harold Saxton Burr suspected the bioelectric field about the possible mechanism of this and carried out experimental studies with electric current. Now, at this point, we understand that the DNA gene sequence acts as a piano key and the notes are encoded in the bioelectric field. Levin says in one of his articles; "...despite these advances, little is known about how cells form specific head shapes or how they know when and how to stop mitosis and morphogenesis once the correct head shape has been reached." Come on, Levin; you can't have heard of Kirlian photography :) Maybe this is what you will discover at the end of your research... A plan for what, how and when to place it. By manipulating the bioelectric field, you disrupt the given scheme and obtain two-headed forms. These forms are decided through the corrupted software. It enables the artificial intelligence that produces and evolves by learning from the body to make certain decisions. This is an artificial intelligence software and you interpret its self-learning in terms of the random evolution paradigm. Artificial intelligence is just a software created over time to read the plan in the diagram. You cannot see the hidden perfect side of the game. You need 3 things: keys (gen), note (form encoding), Fingers that can understand and play the note (artificial intelligence). In your theory, there are only fingers and keys. Sir D'Arcy noticed that the coding of the forms changed suddenly over time, not by chance.note: (Dr. Victor Ademenko and Dr. Telma Moss cut off a part of the leaf and observed the full image of the missing part, that is, the phantom leaf phenomenon, using t😮he Kirlian photography technique.)
He dodged every question, sounded more like a politician .

Consciousness is non computable and part of the non terminal noetic domain. It isn't in your brain. Consciousness doesn't emerge it is a qualia that has a source.

It seems that anything electro-magnetic would be able to sense its close surroundings but would need an antenna to pick-up EM waves.

In an abstract sense, if we consider the world as a collection of all entities and systems, it could be said to have a form of agency through the combined actions and interactions of its parts.
Yes. The world does have agency, based on that condition.

I admire Michael's work and his way of thinking, however, his comment about Hurricane habituation does not make any sense, of course it may be a limitation of my thinking. Even if Hurricanes had some kind of consciousness (which I think is a major leap - where would the intentionality come from), is Michael saying that a single Hurricane be taught a habit? Wont that mechanism itself be the one that will affects Hurricane and be the cause of change of the action of the Hurricane? A single Hurricane just lives once and it is not as if the next Hurricane is a child of another Hurricane, such that the learned behavior can passed on genetically or thru Hurricane to Hurricane teaching. I do [partly understand the desire to connect with the bigger cosmos and anthropomorphize nature, but if it is not there it is not there. I would not have thought Michael would fall for such idea. We are made of stardust and universality of physics/chemistry is a good enough connection to the cosmos. It does not HAVE to be at consciousness level.
There are echoes of what Michael say about Hurricane consciousness and what Stephen wolfram says about different kind of consciousness associated with systems like Hurricane. Watch: Solving the Problem of Observers & ENTROPY | Stephen Wolfram at 30:10
I also find a little bit of contradiction in Michael's thought process. He seems to connect to the bigger and bigger parts of the cosmos but then some of his approach is very reductionist and micro-granular as it the self is not limited only to cell, but also to chemical sub components and processes inside the cell.
Michel is trillion times smarter than I am. So I may be wrong about the above.
Is it safe to say, space- in the most basic terms- is the distance between matter.. and what we collectively know as matter, is still at its smallest form is particles in vibration. Not solid. So then frequency goes beyond what we can actually hear/ dog whistle versus earthquake. Then a spectrum of colors, is limited to our capacity of visual acuity, but more exist than we can observe. I don’t want to say measure, because I’m not sure what we know of measurements is correct, maybe just what we are capable of understanding. Bear with me, I am not a “scientist”. However, I can grasp some ideas- like energy being harnessed, not really created..nor destroyed. That to an extent, thoughts can be measured.. I can watch this video from home. It’s real, but I can’t touch it. Now then, if we are all tiny particles and the above is also true.. and the double slit is true.. is it fair to say that space is a relative term.. alien is as well. That if there was a method to broadcast this video to an area of space beyond our senses, or measurement, it would be a form of biological communication. Non tangible, but real none the less. If this is true- then is it fair to speculate that since we know things exist beyond our “reach” could there be “life” almost coexisting as well as unmeasurable far to reach at the same time, in space.. knowing that the distance between me and this phone is also known as space and we can’t really measure it.. is it also fair to say that if I could create a mechanism that transverse between space, could carry this broadcast it’s technically alien space craft communication. Would that also mean that everything exists all at once and it’s almost all true. That yes our decisions, our consciousness affects more than can measure. That if we are altogether one plane of existence, almost a frequency .. it would be a collective consciousness. If a “spectra” appeared, it’s not necessarily all in the mind, but kind of is as well. Is this fair to suggest? Then our devices of destruction could bear consequence when manipulating atoms in “space”. Which is maybe not as silent as we believe, just as silent as a dog whistle to our capacity. This would then challenge all of our core fundamentals.. so not really “you can’t handle the truth” but kind of actually “ you, can’t handle the truth”
