Is Consciousness The Final Reality? - Questioning The Material Universe | Dr. Bernardo Kastrup

This video makes my Heart soar. It reminds me of Tesla’s quote: “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” This is our collective future and destiny. There are only a few short years left before we emerge from this dark tunnel into the light. Humanity’s Springtime is coming. Thank you for this wonderful interview. ❤

**WARNING: Don’t start watching if you have responsibilities to do within next 1 and half hour** 😂

Over 12 years of Advaita Vedanta and Zen meditation and finally, the words resonate so clear.

Utterly fantastic. Bernardo changed my life and gave me hope for reason, and continues to do so.

The cool thing about all this is that we get in touch with the big/cosmic mind once the dissociative barrier is broken. That whole "becoming one with the universe" doesn't happen randomly. The big mind contains all noumena, the small mind is a self-replicating whirlpool inside the big mind. Psychadelics can temporarily empty the content of the whirpool. In my first and last "trip" my intention was "seeing everything". I got forcibly emptied out till I was just "nothing" yet I was at the peak of self expression (in my case that expression was physical anxiety/danger which in the past was like a veil covering my life). Then I heard "I understand" with my own voice and started returning to my usual self. Closed my eyes and started growing to the size of the universe feeling that warm comic love, at that point my "usual self" was gone again and self expression was not present within the big mind. It was the most pleasureful, painful, horrifying and comforting experience I have ever had. If I had to summarise I'd say - Between "everything" and "nothing" there is a breath. That breath is love, its life, it's a beautiful dance.

That cat appearing in the right of frame just before BK started talking about Alan Watts's cat metaphor... beautiful little synchronicity

The only way to describe what this video gave me is a gentle uplifting towards that which is true. Thank you so much for your work on this excellent channel, I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to listen to it ❤

If I could only have one video of Bernardo to watch, it would be this one... many thanks, Bernardo! 🙂

i feel in superposition with this man. Thanks for the great interview.

i appreciate that he uses so many zen sayings and stories to illustrate his ideas as well
