I love life; Credits for Leo ?

@Leo Gura said:

"But then again, ask yourself: is what you're experiencing right now not fantastical? You're alive, you exist. Look at all these amazing things that's happening around you, it's utterly remarkable. You just take it for granted because you've been alive for so many decades, that you take it for granted. But when you were born, it was all magical and incredible, and none of it made any sense, it was all fantastical, there was no such thing as seeing a dog walking down the street and not being fascinated and blown away by it. It was incredible."

 

I have been wondering for almost a month about life, experience, consciousness, and being. Just the way how Leo articulated it was so eloquent, it had my heart open. I love you Leo ?

Great episode, and very mind opening.

And thumbs up for the beard and the new shirt. They're perfect for you.

He said the rock is in consciousness. Before he said it is consciousness. The latter which is compatible with materialism.

I don't think you really get it. He said that we (consciousness) can't get beyond consciousness, therefore we take it as rock bottom. And that's very different from the materialist paradigm, because for matter, we always know that there's more to it, even though we might not be able access it. (Read Max Planck's quote in the beginning of the video).

Do some consciousness work, you don't know what you're missing out on.

We're not talking about the same part of the video.

Uh sorry, my bad, I read you wrong.

Yes, it's a strange loop. A rock is in consciousness and it is consciousness. I don't really understand this, so I'm not sure if it is true, but that's what Leo means.

[Torkys]

@Outer He indirectly did. He said that consciousness is the substance of everything, including the rock.

He's wrong if he said that.

Consciousness is not the substance of everything, everything is in consciousness.

Exactly, that's the strange loop he's always talking about. The rational mind can never grasp it. And I'm not saying I do, I just don't reject it either.
