WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:02.470 imagine waking up in a place that 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:06.829 shouldn't exist no body no time no past 00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:10.110 no future just a vast endless 00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:12.350 awareness you don't know how you got 00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:15.670 here you don't even know if here is 00:00:15.680 --> 00:00:18.910 real and then just as suddenly you're 00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.750 back back in your body back in the world 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.189 but something's different the moment 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.109 your eyes opened you know nothing will 00:00:28.119 --> 00:00:30.870 ever make sense again because everything 00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:33.069 you thought was real was 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.950 wrong this is the mystery of 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.910 Consciousness and this this changes 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.029 everything Dr eban Alexander a Harvard 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.549 train neural surgeon faced something 00:00:45.559 --> 00:00:48.310 that defied every principle of modern 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.069 Neuroscience a bacterial infection shut 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:52.349 down his brain 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.189 completely by all medical accounts he 00:00:55.199 --> 00:00:57.750 should have had no thoughts no memories 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.509 no experiences nothing 00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:03.349 and yet something happened while his 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.630 brain was offline he saw something a 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.910 place beyond time a realm Beyond human 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.510 understanding and when he returned 00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:16.030 everything he believed about the mind 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.710 everything science had taught him was 00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:21.749 shattered Alexander had spent his career 00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:24.149 believing that Consciousness was merely 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.870 a byproduct of the brain that when the 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:30.350 brain dies so does the mind but his 00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:33.749 experience told a different story for 7 00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:36.910 Days his neocortex the part of the brain 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.429 responsible for thinking memory and 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.789 logic was completely shut 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.429 down he was clinically 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.950 unconscious yet he later described the 00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:50.230 journey so vivid so hyperreal that it 00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:51.469 defied 00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:54.109 explanation he spoke of a world Beyond 00:01:54.119 --> 00:01:57.469 this one of a presence that guided him 00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:00.870 of a vast intelligence Beyond 00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:03.749 comprehension when he woke up doctors 00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:07.109 were baffled scans showed no activity in 00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:09.350 the brain regions necessary for 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.390 hallucinations dreams or even thought 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.710 according to science his experience 00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:18.110 should not have been possible and yet it 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.990 was his case forces us to ask a 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.430 question if the mind is separate from 00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:27.830 the brain then where does Consciousness 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.910 exist is it stored in some unseen field 00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:33.790 a place beyond the 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.110 physical and if so could the answers 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.390 have been hiding in quantum physics all 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.710 along oh yeah sure so let me get this 00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:45.070 straight this guy's brain was on 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.710 vacation completely clocked out and yet 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:51.149 he was out there having the Ultimate VIP 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.550 experience in the cosmic Club meanwhile 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.270 I can't even remember where I left my 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.350 car keys half the time but no no tell me 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.030 more about how the brain is just some 00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:03.670 fancy meat processor and not possibly 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.070 tapping into something 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.350 bigger yeah totally makes sense but 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.110 here's the thing Alexander isn't alone 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.070 there are others and their stories they 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.330 are just as impossible 00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:35.750 [Music] 00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:37.830 most people would hear a story like eban 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.309 Alexander and write it off a 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.309 hallucination a trick of a Dying brain a 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.750 comforting illusion but then you hear 00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:48.390 about the others because Alexander isn't 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.630 alone there are more cases more people 00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:54.750 who have seen the impossible and their 00:03:54.760 --> 00:03:58.110 experiences even harder to explain take 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.069 Pam Reynolds for example her case wasn't 00:04:01.079 --> 00:04:03.149 just medically documented it was a 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:04.589 scientific 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.830 impossibility in 2008 Pam Reynolds 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.110 underwent a high-risk brain surgery to 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.830 operate safely doctors lowered her body 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.550 temperature to 60° stopped her heart and 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.469 drained the blood from her brain by all 00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:24.590 medical definitions she was dead and yet 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:26.749 when she woke up she described the 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.830 surgery in perfect detail she recalled 00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:32.110 the conversations doctors had while she 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.749 was under she remembered the exact 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.430 surgical tools used even though she 00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:39.150 should have been incapable of seeing or 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.990 hearing anything scientists still don't 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.629 know how she did it but Pam Reynolds 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.629 wasn't the only one Dr Tony Soria was an 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.350 orthopedic surgeon a man of pure science 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.710 he didn't believe in the Supernatural he 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.310 didn't entertain mystical 00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:00.230 ideas then in 1994 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.749 his entire world view changed because he 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.350 died it happened on a quiet Summer 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.350 Afternoon in New York Soria was speaking 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.830 to his mother on a pay phone when out of 00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:14.070 nowhere a bolt of lightning struck the 00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:17.950 booth a direct hit Witnesses saw his 00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:20.469 body fly backward hitting the ground 00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:24.150 hard no pulse no Breath by every 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.749 definition he was dead and yet he was 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:28.629 still 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.749 there Coria later recalled an outof Body 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.230 Experience so vivid so hyperreal that it 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.110 defied explanation he found himself 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.270 floating watching as a stranger 00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:43.909 performed CPR on his lifeless body but 00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:46.870 instead of fear he was filled with pure 00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:49.670 peace he felt himself pulled toward a 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.270 brilliant glowing light then just like 00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:56.270 that he was yanked back slammed into his 00:05:56.280 --> 00:05:59.390 body alive but when he woke up something 00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:02.510 was different Soria who had never played 00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:05.270 an instrument in his life was suddenly 00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:08.670 obsessed with music not just any music 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.950 specific complex piano compositions he 00:06:11.960 --> 00:06:14.749 had never heard before he began 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.350 composing original pieces in his head 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.430 playing them flawlessly despite having 00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:22.270 no formal training one moment he was a 00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:25.550 scientist the next a man who touched 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.909 something Beyond this world soria's case 00:06:28.919 --> 00:06:31.990 is astonished ing but it's not unique 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.270 and the more we dig The Stranger it gets 00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:37.309 because there are some near-death cases 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:38.909 that should be 00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:43.870 impossible let's take the aware study in 00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:46.790 2014 researchers at the University of 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.230 Southampton conducted the largest ever 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:50.950 study on near-death 00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:52.990 experiences they wanted to see if 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.909 Consciousness could survive beyond the 00:06:54.919 --> 00:06:59.110 body the results disturbing one case 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.430 stood out 00:07:00.440 --> 00:07:03.869 a 57-year-old man flatlined for over 3 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.510 minutes his brain had completely shut 00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:10.430 down no activity no oxygen and yet when 00:07:10.440 --> 00:07:13.110 he was revived he accurately described 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.710 events that happened in the operating 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.270 room right down to the movements of the 00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:20.350 medical staff in specific sounds of the 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.830 machines doctors had no explanation how 00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:25.749 was he aware when his brain was 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.710 clinically offline and then let's take 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.670 the blind first for example in multiple 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.270 studies blind patients who experienced 00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:36.710 near-death experiences reported seeing 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.029 for the first time one woman born blind 00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:42.830 accurately described the details of the 00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:45.189 operating room the instruments the 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.909 people in it things she had no physical 00:07:47.919 --> 00:07:50.710 ability to see if Consciousness is just 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.309 a function of the brain then this should 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.670 not be possible hold on so you're 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.589 telling me some people only start seeing 00:07:57.599 --> 00:08:01.189 after they die great meanwhile I'm over 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.950 here with perfectly working eyeballs and 00:08:03.960 --> 00:08:07.670 I still can't find my car keys yeah 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.029 totally fair but these cases aren't just 00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:14.510 about perception they go even deeper 00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:16.510 because sometimes the living aren't the 00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:18.710 only ones experiencing the moment of 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.189 death take the phenomenon known as 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:22.629 shared death 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.629 experiences these are moments when 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.309 someone near a dying person family 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.270 friends even hospital staff suddenly 00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:32.230 experiences something 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.389 unexplainable some report seeing a 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.909 mislike form leaving the body at the 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.949 exact moment of death others describe 00:08:39.959 --> 00:08:41.949 feeling a sudden surge of overwhelming 00:08:41.959 --> 00:08:45.310 love or peace only to find out later 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.550 that their loved one had passed at that 00:08:47.560 --> 00:08:48.630 exact 00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:51.590 instant and then there's terminal 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.829 Lucidity this is perhaps one of the 00:08:53.839 --> 00:08:56.870 strangest phenomena in medical history 00:08:56.880 --> 00:08:59.430 patients suffering from severe dementia 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.949 or brain damage people who haven't 00:09:01.959 --> 00:09:04.990 spoken in years suddenly regain full 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.990 awareness and Clarity in the moments 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.829 just before death they recognize family 00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:13.470 they speak in complete sentences their 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.630 minds which were completely lost return 00:09:16.640 --> 00:09:18.389 just long enough to say 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.630 goodbye and then just like that they're 00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:26.269 gone Medical Science can't explain this 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.069 if their brains were too damaged to 00:09:28.079 --> 00:09:31.110 function how did they suddenly regain 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.590 Consciousness what woke them up when you 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.069 stack these cases together a pattern 00:09:37.079 --> 00:09:40.829 begins to emerge a pattern that suggests 00:09:40.839 --> 00:09:44.069 Consciousness isn't what we think it is 00:09:44.079 --> 00:09:47.949 Pam Reynolds Dr Tony Soria the aware 00:09:47.959 --> 00:09:52.030 study the blind who see the Shar death 00:09:52.040 --> 00:09:55.150 phenomenon terminal Lucidity these are 00:09:55.160 --> 00:09:57.829 not just stories these are documented 00:09:57.839 --> 00:09:59.910 events that defy every rule we thought 00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:02.750 we understood about the mind so we have 00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:05.310 to ask the question what if 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.190 Consciousness isn't inside the brain 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.949 what if when the body shuts down the 00:10:10.959 --> 00:10:13.170 Mind simply moves 00:10:13.180 --> 00:10:19.389 [Music] 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.190 on nearly a century before eban 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.990 Alexander's experience another man was 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.829 asking a different question his name was 00:10:27.839 --> 00:10:29.750 Irwin schrdinger 00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:32.110 and like Alexander what he discovered 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.269 would challenge the very nature of 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:37.829 reality Schrodinger wasn't a Mystic he 00:10:37.839 --> 00:10:41.590 wasn't a philosopher he was a physicist 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.590 a man of logic equations and hard 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.030 science but in the in the early 1920s he 00:10:48.040 --> 00:10:49.949 found himself facing a problem that 00:10:49.959 --> 00:10:52.350 refused to obey the rules of the 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.069 universe Quantum particles didn't behave 00:10:55.079 --> 00:10:57.710 the way normal matter should they didn't 00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.030 follow predictable paths 00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:02.350 they seem to exist in multiple places 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.949 all at once flickering in and out of 00:11:04.959 --> 00:11:07.910 certainty like ghosts in a machine the 00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:09.350 math was 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.670 impossible the numbers refused to align 00:11:12.680 --> 00:11:15.590 he tried every known equation every law 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.230 physics that had held true for centuries 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.590 and still the answer slipped through his 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.069 fingers like sand oh great reality is 00:11:24.079 --> 00:11:26.190 just out here freeloading until we 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.430 decide to look at it I mean what was was 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.030 it doing before was the universe just 00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:34.350 sitting around in its pajamas waiting 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.629 for someone to check in this is why I 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.350 hate quantum physics you try to 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.710 understand it and suddenly you're in a 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.590 philosophical hostage situation 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.910 frustrated schinger did something 00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:51.590 unusual for a scientist he walked away 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:53.670 he retreated to a secluded cabin in 00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:55.910 Switzerland shutting out the world in 00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:58.790 search of clarity and that's where 00:11:58.800 --> 00:12:00.949 according to to some accounts something 00:12:00.959 --> 00:12:04.310 strange happened a dream not just any 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:08.150 dream a vision so profound so vivid that 00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:10.030 when he woke up he was no longer 00:12:10.040 --> 00:12:12.509 searching for answers he had 00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:14.949 them as if the universe had whispered 00:12:14.959 --> 00:12:18.310 the solution directly into his mind he 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.829 immediately grabbed the pen hands moving 00:12:20.839 --> 00:12:23.389 frantically across the paper he wasn't 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.310 just solving an equation he was 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.710 unveiling a hidden truth about reality 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:29.350 itself 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.150 that equation would later become the 00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:34.030 foundation of modern quantum mechanics 00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:37.310 the Schrodinger wave equation in what it 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.030 suggested was 00:12:39.040 --> 00:12:41.829 terrifying reality doesn't truly exist 00:12:41.839 --> 00:12:44.130 until we observe 00:12:44.140 --> 00:12:48.870 [Music] 00:12:48.880 --> 00:12:51.829 it Schrodinger's Discovery wasn't just 00:12:51.839 --> 00:12:55.030 an abstract thought scientists wanted to 00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:58.550 test reality itself again and again and 00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:00.189 what they found was even stranger than 00:13:00.199 --> 00:13:02.230 anyone could have imagined one 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.350 experiment in particular would shake the 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.750 foundation of physics the double slit 00:13:07.760 --> 00:13:10.550 experiment all right so picture this a 00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:14.350 screen two Thin slits a detector behind 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.189 it now you fire a single particle an 00:13:17.199 --> 00:13:20.389 electron or a photon at the slits you'd 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.150 expect it to pass through one or the 00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:25.990 other right yeah no because if no one's 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.269 watching the particle acts like a wave 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.389 it goes through both slits at the same 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.590 time and creates an interference pattern 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.269 on the detector as if it existed in 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.870 multiple places at the same time but the 00:13:39.880 --> 00:13:42.150 moment you place a detector there just 00:13:42.160 --> 00:13:43.990 to check which slit it actually went 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.269 through Boom the wave collapses the 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.389 particle suddenly chooses One path like 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.189 it was waiting for you to notice before 00:13:52.199 --> 00:13:55.350 making up its mind reality shifts the 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.550 second it is 00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:58.749 observed if this was just a onetime 00:13:58.759 --> 00:13:59.790 flute 00:13:59.800 --> 00:14:01.910 scientists would have Shrugged it off 00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:04.230 but they didn't because the experiment 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.509 has been repeated over and over and over 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.509 again and it always works the same way 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.749 so what's going on is reality adjusting 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:17.710 itself based on whether we're watching 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.949 and if that's true then what does that 00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:23.069 say about 00:14:23.079 --> 00:14:25.110 Consciousness if the double slit 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.590 experiment wasn't strange enough 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.629 physicist John Weed 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.749 decided to push the insanity even 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.629 further the delayed Choice 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.870 experiment here's where it gets crazy in 00:14:37.880 --> 00:14:39.870 this version of the experiment a 00:14:39.880 --> 00:14:42.310 particle is sent toward the slits but 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.629 the decision to observe it is made after 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.710 it has already passed through logically 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.629 that shouldn't matter the particle 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.310 should have already chosen what it was 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.470 doing but that's not what happens the 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:57.990 moment an observation is introduced the 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.870 particle retro Pro actively changes its 00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:03.150 Behavior as if the future decision 00:15:03.160 --> 00:15:06.189 affected the past let that sink in for a 00:15:06.199 --> 00:15:09.110 second this isn't some wild sci-fi 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:12.030 concept this is real repeatable 00:15:12.040 --> 00:15:13.310 experimental 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.910 physics and it suggests that our choices 00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:19.590 our observations might be influencing 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.749 reality 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.430 itself the double slit experiment showed 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.389 us that particles exist in multiple 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:31.590 places at once until we look in superp 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.069 position that raises an uncomfortable 00:15:34.079 --> 00:15:36.949 question if reality doesn't fully exist 00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:38.949 until we observe it then what's 00:15:38.959 --> 00:15:42.110 happening when we're not looking take a 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.430 second really think about it does the 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.550 universe only render itself when we pay 00:15:47.560 --> 00:15:50.269 attention like a video game that loads 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.509 the world around the player but leaves 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.550 everything else outside the screen 00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:56.829 unfinished and if the past can be 00:15:56.839 --> 00:15:59.230 Rewritten based on choices made in the 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:02.110 future like we saw in the delayed Choice 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.470 experiment then how do we know we aren't 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.150 constantly rewriting history without 00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:09.110 realizing it what if every time you 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.389 remember something differently then it 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.309 actually happened it's because you 00:16:13.319 --> 00:16:16.150 actually changed it and here's the most 00:16:16.160 --> 00:16:18.590 terrifying thought of all what if the 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.389 only reason reality remains stable is 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.730 because we all believe it 00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:26.710 [Music] 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.990 does all right let's test something 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.870 something right now wherever you are 00:16:31.880 --> 00:16:34.509 take a deep breath now think of someone 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.870 you haven't talked to in a while it 00:16:36.880 --> 00:16:39.509 could be a friend a relative anyone just 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.389 hold their image in your mind for a 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.710 moment got it okay now watch what 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.550 happens over the next 48 hours if that 00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:49.870 person suddenly reaches out if they 00:16:49.880 --> 00:16:52.030 message you call you or even if their 00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:55.110 name randomly pops up somewhere you 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.470 might just realize something maybe 00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.629 Consciousness is more powerful than we 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.389 think maybe we're all more connected 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.549 than we realize or maybe we're about to 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.990 prove that reality isn't as solid as it 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.949 seems and if nothing happens maybe 00:17:10.959 --> 00:17:13.110 that's proof too maybe you weren't 00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:16.189 supposed to notice we spend our lives 00:17:16.199 --> 00:17:18.549 searching for the universe's Secrets 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.789 believing that if we look long enough if 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.069 we dig deep enough we'll finally 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.150 understand it but what if we have it 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.309 backwards what if the universe isn't 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.590 something we explore what if it's 00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:33.190 something that's been watching us and 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.590 the real question isn't whether the 00:17:34.600 --> 00:17:37.270 universe is conscious it's whether it's 00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:38.570 been waiting for us to 00:17:38.580 --> 00:17:44.990 [Music] 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.390 notice all right so we've talked about 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.390 how reality might only exist when we 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:51.789 observe it we've talked about how the 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:55.230 past might change based on the future 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.510 but what if I told you that two objects 00:17:57.520 --> 00:17:59.710 on opposite sides of the the universe 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.669 could be connected instantly no signal 00:18:03.679 --> 00:18:07.590 no delay just connected we've all been 00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:09.430 taught that the fastest anything can 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.710 travel is the speed of light that no 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.470 matter what information takes time to 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.590 move from one place to another but 00:18:18.600 --> 00:18:20.909 that's not always true because there's 00:18:20.919 --> 00:18:23.190 something happening in the quantum world 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.870 that shouldn't be possible and yet it is 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.669 it's called quantum entanglement 00:18:29.679 --> 00:18:33.029 here's how it works take two particles 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.230 electrons photons whatever put them 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.710 together now separate them doesn't 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.110 matter how far apart they are 10 ft 10 00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:46.310 Lighty years or even across the entire 00:18:46.320 --> 00:18:48.669 universe the moment you change something 00:18:48.679 --> 00:18:51.029 about one of them the other instantly 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.270 changes two no signal no transmission no 00:18:55.280 --> 00:18:58.870 delay just connection 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.990 Albert Einstein hated this he called it 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.510 spooky action at a distance because it 00:19:04.520 --> 00:19:06.549 broke the one rule that physics was 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.190 supposed to follow things should not be 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.590 able to affect each other faster than 00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:14.750 the speed of light and yet every time we 00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:19.230 tested every single time entanglement 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.390 happens now let's take a step back 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:25.549 because this isn't just about particles 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.190 what if this is happening to us think 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.430 about it 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.190 have you ever sensed when someone was 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:34.149 staring at you ever suddenly thought of 00:19:34.159 --> 00:19:35.630 someone right before they called or 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:38.630 texted you ever walked into a room and 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.029 instantly felt someone else's emotions 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.669 before they even said a 00:19:42.679 --> 00:19:45.070 word what if that wasn't 00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:47.430 coincidence some researchers believe 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.950 that the human brain could be engaging 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.070 in a type of biological entanglement a 00:19:53.080 --> 00:19:55.470 connection that exists beyond space and 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.710 time telepathy intuition even gut 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.230 feelings what if these are just glitches 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.630 in the system a sign that our minds are 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:08.510 operating on a level we don't yet 00:20:08.520 --> 00:20:11.270 understand because here's the thing if 00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:13.070 two particles can communicate 00:20:13.080 --> 00:20:15.950 instantaneously Across the Universe why 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.230 couldn't two 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:22.669 minds now let's go bigger what if it's 00:20:22.679 --> 00:20:25.630 not just one mind connecting to another 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.710 what if it's all of them if entanglement 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.230 exists at the quantum level and if 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.350 Consciousness itself has any Quantum 00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:36.390 properties then it raises the terrifying 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.350 possibility what if all human minds are 00:20:39.360 --> 00:20:41.830 entangled what if our thoughts our 00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:44.430 emotions are Rippling across an 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:46.710 invisible network affecting not just 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.789 ourselves but each 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.310 other this isn't just philosophy folks 00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:54.310 some Studies have suggested strange 00:20:54.320 --> 00:20:56.950 statistical anomalies in human behavior 00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.710 during major Global EV events almost 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:01.830 like millions of Minds suddenly 00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:05.070 synchronize in some unknown way could 00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:08.590 this explain Mass hysteria cultural 00:21:08.600 --> 00:21:11.269 Trends why ideas seem to spread like 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.110 wildfire across entire 00:21:14.120 --> 00:21:16.190 populations and here's where things take 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.510 an even darker turn because if 00:21:18.520 --> 00:21:21.750 entanglement Is Real at the human level 00:21:21.760 --> 00:21:24.149 then how much of what you think is yours 00:21:24.159 --> 00:21:27.070 is actually coming from someone else so 00:21:27.080 --> 00:21:29.230 if two entangled particles 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:31.549 light years apart can influence each 00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:34.149 other instantly then what does that say 00:21:34.159 --> 00:21:38.830 about us or our minds operating in 00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:41.390 isolation or are we all part of 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.350 something much much bigger because if 00:21:44.360 --> 00:21:46.950 Consciousness really is entangled if we 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.029 are all linked in ways we don't yet 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:51.710 understand then maybe we were never 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.330 really alone to begin with 00:21:54.340 --> 00:22:00.430 [Music] 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:02.830 if Consciousness isn't just a byproduct 00:22:02.840 --> 00:22:05.549 of the brain then what the heck is 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:08.269 it this is where things take a turn from 00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:10.909 Neuroscience to full-blown 00:22:10.919 --> 00:22:15.390 sci-fi enter orc o Theory one of the 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:17.669 wildest and most controversial ideas in 00:22:17.679 --> 00:22:21.350 modern science and I love it sir Roger 00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:25.149 Penrose a legendary physicist and Dr 00:22:25.159 --> 00:22:28.310 Stuart Hammer off an anesthesiologist 00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:30.149 who who has spent decades studying the 00:22:30.159 --> 00:22:32.669 nature of Consciousness believe we've 00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:35.909 been thinking way too small they argue 00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:38.830 that inside every neuron in the tiny 00:22:38.840 --> 00:22:41.870 microt tubules little structures once 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:43.669 thought to be nothing more than 00:22:43.679 --> 00:22:46.269 biological scaffolding something strange 00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.909 is happening Quantum 00:22:48.919 --> 00:22:52.110 effects now if they're right then our 00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:54.149 brains aren't just biological computers 00:22:54.159 --> 00:22:57.430 running on neurons they are quantum 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.510 processors and if that's true then our 00:23:00.520 --> 00:23:03.269 thoughts our awareness our very 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.390 Consciousness isn't just trapped inside 00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.590 our skulls it's connected to something 00:23:08.600 --> 00:23:10.950 bigger maybe even a universal 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.350 Consciousness 00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:15.630 field all right let's pause for a second 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.230 because at this point Skeptics love to 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.510 roll their eyes and say come on 00:23:20.520 --> 00:23:22.789 Consciousness is just neurons chemical 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.390 reactions Etc we understand how the 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:29.070 brain works except we don't 00:23:29.080 --> 00:23:32.190 not really Neuroscience can explain how 00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.750 thoughts travel through synapses how 00:23:34.760 --> 00:23:37.510 memories are stored how emotions are 00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:41.549 triggered but no scientist not one has 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:43.710 ever explained how self-awareness 00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.430 actually emerges from brain matter it's 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.909 called the hard problem of Consciousness 00:23:49.919 --> 00:23:52.950 in orc o suggests we've been looking in 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.510 the wrong place instead of the brain 00:23:55.520 --> 00:23:58.110 creating Consciousness it might just be 00:23:58.120 --> 00:24:00.870 receiving it like an antenna tuning into 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:05.190 a signal that was always there oh great 00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.350 so my entire existence might just be a 00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:09.350 really bad Wi-Fi signal from the 00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:10.870 universe 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:13.190 fantastic that explains why my thoughts 00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:14.909 keep buffering every time I try to make 00:24:14.919 --> 00:24:17.909 a serious decision somebody reboot my 00:24:17.919 --> 00:24:19.350 brain router 00:24:19.360 --> 00:24:22.630 please it's a radical idea but it's not 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.510 without evidence studies in anesthesia 00:24:25.520 --> 00:24:27.590 show that when Consciousness switches 00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:30.389 off brain activity doesn't gradually 00:24:30.399 --> 00:24:34.750 fade away it collapses abruptly like 00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:36.909 it's almost like someone unplugging a 00:24:36.919 --> 00:24:39.070 signal rather than the brain itself 00:24:39.080 --> 00:24:42.549 shutting down and guess what Hammer off 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.310 the anesthesiologist behind orc or 00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:46.669 believes this is proof that 00:24:46.679 --> 00:24:48.669 Consciousness isn't being produced by 00:24:48.679 --> 00:24:51.990 the brain it's being filtered through it 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:54.310 and if that's true then we have a much 00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:56.990 bigger question if Consciousness doesn't 00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.149 originate in the brain then where the 00:24:59.159 --> 00:25:00.549 heck does it come 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.110 from this is where things get even 00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:05.590 stranger because if Consciousness isn't 00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:08.149 confined to the brain if it exists in 00:25:08.159 --> 00:25:10.830 some kind of quantum field then that 00:25:10.840 --> 00:25:13.870 means it isn't Bound by time and if it 00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:16.070 isn't Bound by time then what we 00:25:16.080 --> 00:25:19.549 experience as intuition Deja Vu and even 00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.510 near-death experiences might not be 00:25:22.520 --> 00:25:25.630 random they could be glimpses tiny 00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.830 fragments of a larger reality that we're 00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:30.430 only occasionally tuning 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.190 into and that raises a chilling 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:35.669 possibility if our minds aren't just 00:25:35.679 --> 00:25:38.430 observing reality but actually shaping 00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.750 it then how much of what we call real is 00:25:41.760 --> 00:25:44.710 actually being generated by 00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:49.630 [Music] 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.630 us all right so let's say Quantum 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.630 Consciousness is real just for a minute 00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:58.310 what does that actually mean for us 00:25:58.320 --> 00:26:00.269 because if it's true then everything we 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.029 think we know about reality Free Will 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.710 and even death just got a major software 00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:09.029 update and some of the consequences they 00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:12.029 are downright terrifying let's start 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:12.950 with 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.070 intuition ever had a moment where an 00:26:15.080 --> 00:26:17.389 answer just pops into your head out of 00:26:17.399 --> 00:26:19.789 nowhere like you weren't even thinking 00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:23.350 about it but suddenly boom there it is 00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:24.909 some researchers believe that these 00:26:24.919 --> 00:26:27.669 sudden insights aren't random at all 00:26:27.679 --> 00:26:30.310 that our ious if it's really tapping 00:26:30.320 --> 00:26:33.070 into larger Quantum Fields might be 00:26:33.080 --> 00:26:34.870 pulling information from outside the 00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.430 brain think about it if Schrodinger's 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.110 equation suggests that reality itself is 00:26:41.120 --> 00:26:43.510 shaped by observation and if 00:26:43.520 --> 00:26:45.909 Consciousness is somehow connected to 00:26:45.919 --> 00:26:48.430 Quantum Mechanics then what does that 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:50.950 say about Free Will are we actually 00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:53.630 making choices or are we just playing 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:56.950 out possibilities in an infinite Quantum 00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.510 landscape in and if that's true then 00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:01.750 here's where things take a dark turn 00:27:01.760 --> 00:27:03.750 because if enough people focus on the 00:27:03.760 --> 00:27:06.310 same thought does that thought have 00:27:06.320 --> 00:27:09.710 power could belief itself influence 00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:12.510 reality we know from history that entire 00:27:12.520 --> 00:27:15.149 civilizations have been shaped by shared 00:27:15.159 --> 00:27:18.389 beliefs Wars have been fought over them 00:27:18.399 --> 00:27:20.990 Nations have risen and Fallen but what 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.269 if belief isn't just a psychological 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:25.750 phenomenon what if human consciousness 00:27:25.760 --> 00:27:27.789 itself is acting like a collective 00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:28.789 quantum 00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:31.510 force and if that's true then what 00:27:31.520 --> 00:27:33.750 happens when billions of people start 00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:37.190 focusing on the same thing oh fantastic 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.909 so now I have to worry that every dumb 00:27:38.919 --> 00:27:40.830 thought I've ever had might be messing 00:27:40.840 --> 00:27:44.350 with the fabric of reality great 00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:46.230 somewhere out there in some Quantum 00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.389 Dimension there's probably a universe 00:27:48.399 --> 00:27:50.190 where pineapple pizza is the dominant 00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:54.669 life form and guess what that's on me 00:27:54.679 --> 00:27:56.190 but here's where things get really 00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.269 strange some researchers suggest that 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:01.310 Consciousness isn't just an individual 00:28:01.320 --> 00:28:03.789 experience it might extend beyond the 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.870 self a single mind that's one thing but 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:09.909 what if all minds are connected in ways 00:28:09.919 --> 00:28:12.830 we don't fully understand and if that's 00:28:12.840 --> 00:28:14.509 true then here's the question that 00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:17.870 should send a chill down your spine what 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:20.070 happens when enough people focus on the 00:28:20.080 --> 00:28:21.149 same 00:28:21.159 --> 00:28:23.990 idea for centuries Mystics and 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:25.990 philosophers have argued that belief 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.509 itself has power that the col itive 00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:31.190 thoughts of millions or even billions 00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:33.350 might be able to shape more than just 00:28:33.360 --> 00:28:37.029 opinions what if they shape reality 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.509 itself now normally science dismisses 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:43.269 this as spiritual nonsense but here's 00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:46.029 the thing there's data that suggests 00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:48.789 something very real is happening in 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:51.470 multiple Mass Consciousness experiments 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:53.470 researchers have observed the bizarre 00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:55.789 correlations between Global events and 00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:59.029 shifts in random data generators 00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:00.830 it's as if when enough people are 00:29:00.840 --> 00:29:03.909 emotionally or mentally synchronized 00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:06.110 probability itself starts behaving 00:29:06.120 --> 00:29:09.509 differently now ask yourself what if 00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:10.590 that's not 00:29:10.600 --> 00:29:12.750 coincidence what if human thought is 00:29:12.760 --> 00:29:15.830 subtly shaping the world around us and 00:29:15.840 --> 00:29:17.870 if that's true then here's the next 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.710 question if Consciousness exists outside 00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.110 the brain if it's part of something 00:29:23.120 --> 00:29:26.350 bigger if it's connected to a field that 00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:28.830 doesn't end with the body then what 00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:30.230 happens when we 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:32.950 die most of us have been taught that 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:35.549 death is an ending that when the body 00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:39.669 shuts down awareness ceases to exist but 00:29:39.679 --> 00:29:42.909 if quantum Consciousness is real then 00:29:42.919 --> 00:29:45.190 that isn't what happens because if 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:46.870 Consciousness is part of a universal 00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.389 Quantum field if it's not confined to 00:29:49.399 --> 00:29:52.190 the brain then when the body dies 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:54.710 Consciousness doesn't disappear it 00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:57.750 returns to the field it came from like a 00:29:57.760 --> 00:29:58.750 rip 00:29:58.760 --> 00:30:01.389 falling back into the ocean and that 00:30:01.399 --> 00:30:04.389 brings us to the final chilling thought 00:30:04.399 --> 00:30:07.070 if human thought is connected if enough 00:30:07.080 --> 00:30:08.830 people believe in something at the same 00:30:08.840 --> 00:30:11.310 time then how much of what we call 00:30:11.320 --> 00:30:13.509 reality is actually just a shared 00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:17.860 illusion a dream we're all dreaming 00:30:17.870 --> 00:30:20.509 [Music] 00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:23.230 together all right we've gone deep into 00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:26.190 the unknown we've explored the science 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:28.549 the experiments the theories 00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:31.630 all leading to one unavoidable truth we 00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:34.110 don't understand Consciousness not 00:30:34.120 --> 00:30:36.750 really we've mapped the brain we've 00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:39.509 decoded DNA we've even started bending 00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:42.430 the laws of physics in quantum mechanics 00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:45.630 and yet the one thing that defines who 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.430 we are the very essence of existence 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.789 itself we have no idea where it comes 00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:54.470 from or where it goes and that raises a 00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.990 question that science can't answer a 00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:58.669 question that might be more important 00:30:58.679 --> 00:31:01.470 than anything we've ever asked is 00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:04.190 consciousness something we create or 00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:07.269 something we're just tuning into because 00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:09.789 if it's the latter if the mind is merely 00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:12.870 a receiver rather than a generator then 00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:15.470 that means you me and every person who 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.230 has ever lived are part of something far 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.430 greater than we ever imagined and that's 00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.149 where the real shock sets in because if 00:31:24.159 --> 00:31:26.990 Consciousness is universal if awareness 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:29.669 exists beyond the the body then death 00:31:29.679 --> 00:31:32.430 isn't an end it's just a change in 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:35.269 frequency a shift from one reality to 00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:35.990 the 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.590 next but here's where things get even 00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:41.950 weirder if thoughts can shape reality if
