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. ❤

Natalia Vorontsova is the perfect Youtube host. She asks the questions, guides the discussion, follows up with clarifying questions and the stays out of the way. She lets her guest do what the guest is there for. I am so sick of every wanna be sticking their face in the camera and presenting themselves as equal or more important than some of the guests they host. It is also reviewing that the name of her podcast is "Essential Foundation" and not the Natalia Vorontsova Show. Thanks for the classy work!

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

This discussion calms and soothes me - especially during my bereavement for my recently lost wife. Please don't ask me how or why. It just does.

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

Bernardo Kastrup is the one who changed my view of life forever. I was in the car and my wife did put on a Dutch podcast with him. I was totally hooked. He provided the information, I had been looking for so desperately for a long time. I then discovered Donald Hoffman and through him Nima Arkani-Hamed. What a relief that all was.

This is the most coherent and beautiful description of reality I’ve heard anyone articulate. And to those paying close attention, self evidently true.

I am a Buddhist monk. Agree with you r ideas. The Lord Buddha preached all those ideas before 2600 years ago. Thank you.

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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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
