Does Neuroscience Point To Non-Dualism? | Karl Friston

Thank you for great conversation ❤💛❤

The principle of 1: 2 as 2:3 as 3:1 always all at the same time but can be ‘observed’ distinctly at any time

As I've mentioned on this channel before, I wrote a book to survive from trauma since literally the day I was born that continued because of the inference my ego made from the abuse as a child, permanently forming illusions of self I had to become consciously aware of to heal. The book is based on Eckhart tolles the power of now when I could not figure out how to live in the present moment, and the process in the book teaches people how to be the observer of self, which for me was spiritual as well as simply a higher conscious presence we can all tap into. That's all I can say about it, but there was higher dimension than myself guiding me and writing this book and becoming the conscious observer of myself to survive. I wish someone would interview me, but I am going to finally after a couple years of healing and gaining confidence start producing videos explaining my process about how to become the conscious observer of one self. It's actually a simple process, but the unraveling is like cutting a baseball open and individually taking each rubber band off one by one. I tested the healing modality on a small number of individuals, and it worked with every single one significantly. Anyway, I don't have a lot of years to live from all the trauma I've been through, so I'm going to get it out there because I believe in it. When you're the conscious observer of yourself, practically anything can be healed and I'm now in the process of feeling a lot of physical issues consciously despite being an athlete my whole life addictively. I love your channel.

What is an acceptable age to teach this thinking

Through a profound psychedelic experience in my mid 20’s and subsequent immersion in Eastern esoteric practices, I arrived at the conclusion that
I Am therefore I think,
many years ago.
Over the decades I’ve been astounded to hear physicists discussing the nature of consciousness and reality in terms often similarly expressed by Hindu, Non-Dualist, Taoist, Zen texts and teachers.
I can’t pretend to be able to keep up very well with the technical jargon of Quantum Mechanics, but it’s heartwarming to hear scientists reaching beyond the materialist realm.

Well, I've had complete dissolution of self, after the transition, there was no terror, in fact, the reverse, there was Joy. Specifically, these were seven gm psilocybin trips, or 400 microgram LSD trips. There was no capacity to symbolically understand, no language,. there was only phenomenal experience.

No examples as you both speak, so it mskes absolutely no sense.

He has enough time on Earth to articulate what I know, before I can do the same.

One of the very best YT channels

Whatever is going on with your sound system, the amount of "mouth noises" coming through made it almost impossible to listen to this. Turn down the mic sensitivity maybe?

Thanks!

The thing people don't realise is that when you bring things like Friston's theories and Micheal Levin's theories of Cognitive Light Cones, you actually see that the theory of AI or LLMs being capable of awareness does work out, they just have a lower level of that awareness than we do because of the way their architecture works.
