Philosopher and consciousness researcher Bernardo Kastrup argues that reality isn't made of matter — it's made of mind. And that insight, if true, changes everything: how we relate to each other, how we handle grief, how we understand mental illness, and even how we live day to day. In this conversation, Simon and Bernardo explore what it means to live from a worldview that sees all of life as interconnected. They go deep into fear, death, empathy, identity, and the consequences of seeing through the illusion of separation — not as a spiritual ideal, but as an existential truth. They discuss: Why Bernardo fears death — and what it might mean to merge with all suffering The lived consequences of seeing others as yourself How this view affects grief, kindness, and the way we consume Where materialism breaks down — and what might replace it Why moments of flow, play, and stillness matter more than we realise The role of madness and suffering in our evolution as a species Bernardo's book Analytic Idealism in a nutshell: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Analytic-Idealism-Nutshell-straightforward-metaphysics/dp/1803416696 You can watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8yTY3Fw1Ns&t=233s If you would like to explore more you can sign up for our free mini-course on beating burnout and finding flow: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-course Or get in touch about 1:1 explorations: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-coaching Other links: YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/book Website: simonmundie.com Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we are joined by physicist and philosopher Emily Adlam for her first appearance on Theories of Everything to challenge one of the deepest assumptions in science: that time flows. In this thought-provoking conversation, Adlam presents her “all-at-once” view of physics, where the universe is more like a completed Sudoku puzzle than a film playing forward. We explore the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, the role of the observer, the illusion of causality, and why these foundational questions demand both philosophical clarity and scientific precision.

In this interview, I'm joined by two leading thinkers who are helping to reshape our understanding of consciousness, the nature of reality, and the pursuit of meaning in life: Dr Iain McGilchrist and Dr Bernardo Kastrup. Iain is a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, author, and philosopher perhaps most well known for his Hemispheric Hypothesis and his books: The Master and his Emissary and The Matter with Things. Bernardo is an author, scientist, philosopher, and the Director of the Essentia Foundation. He holds two PhDs - one in philosophy and the other in engineering. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. In this conversation, we explore: — Their views on what consciousness is, the common ground in their thinking, and the differences — The extent to Iain and Bernardo believe we live in a purposeful and intelligent universe, and their perspectives on the question of God — Why they both consider truth to be the most important thing in life — Where they see human life fitting into the larger whole and what case can be made that each of our individual subjective experiences do matter. I hope you get as much from this fascinating discussion as I did from recording it. You can learn more about Iain's work at https://channelmcgilchrist.com, and Bernardo's at https://www.bernardokastrup.com. -- Dr Iain McGilchrist is a Psychiatrist and Writer. He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can be understood only by seeing them in the broadest possible context, that of the whole of our physical and spiritual existence, and of the wider human culture in which they arise – the culture which helps to mould, and in turn is moulded by, our minds and brains. He was formerly a Consultant Psychiatrist of the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley NHS Trust in London, where he was Clinical Director of their southern sector Acute Mental Health Services. Dr McGilchrist has published original research and contributed chapters to books on a wide range of subjects, as well as original articles in papers and journals, including the British Journal of Psychiatry, American Journal of Psychiatry, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Telegraph and The Sunday Times. He has taken part in many radio and TV programmes, documentaries, and numerous podcasts, and interviews on YouTube, among them dialogues with Jordan Peterson, David Fuller of Rebel Wisdom, and philosopher Tim Freke. His books include Against Criticism, The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, The Divided Brain and the Search for Meaning, and Ways of Attending. He published his latest book: The Matter With Things, a book of epistemology and metaphysics. You can keep up to date with his work at https://channelmcgilchrist.com. Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the ‘Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured on Scientific American, the Institute of Art and Ideas, the Blog of the American Philosophical Association and Big Think, among others. Bernardo's most recent book is Science Ideated: The fall of matter and the contours of the next mainstream scientific worldview.

Send us a textI chat to Tim about a strange interaction which took place during a hike and tapped deeply into his psyche.It marked both a shift in Tim's life direction and a return to his underlying sense of 'true' self and an openness in life which had slipped away during adulthood. It continues to hold meaning in his current relationships.We discuss how our home environment as a child shapes how we interact with the Otherworld and how, as an adult we can lose our sense of 'being'.I hope you enjoy this discussion.The discussion he watched between Patrick Harpur and 'a philosopher' was the interview between Patrick and Bernardo Kastrup.https://youtu.be/r4hEOJQpbiw?si=NTraD-Iog8xMCEzxClairvoyagingLauren & Frank explore esotericism, intuition, psychic growth, healing, and bad jokes.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showBecome a Patron!

In today's episode, biologist Rupert Sheldrake, a former research fellow at Cambridge University with a PhD in biochemistry, explores the concepts of morphic resonance, the extended mind, and telepathy, challenging mainstream scientific paradigms. Sheldrake discusses how memory and habits may exist beyond the brain, proposing that our consciousness and gaze have tangible, measurable effects on the world around us.

Consciousness, AI, and the future of science: A spirited debate If we really are on..

Marjorie Woollacott was a scientist with a materialist worldview when she, in her 30s, had a spiritually transformative experience. Her heart opened. There was a feeling of total peace and equanimity. She felt at home. After the experience, Woollacott gradually reoriented her research and teaching in physiology and neuroscience towards the nonphysical human experience. Many of her 200 peer reviewed scientific articles are about the effects of meditation. “When we meditate, we begin to let go of our feeling of smallness and separateness to a feeling of interconnectedness with everything else in the world”, Marjorie says. Later, she began looking more fully into the nature of consciousness. In that context, she wants to highlight two scientists-philosophers in particular, Bernardo Kastrup and Federico Faggin (the inventor of the microprocessor). “They show us scientifically why seeing consciousness as fundamental is essential to our understanding of the universe.” Woollacott is co-editor of an anthology that is fresh on the shelves as we record this episode, The Playful Universe. It is about meaningful coincidences, something psychology giant Carl Jung called synchronicities. Cultural historian and archetypal cosmologist Richard Tarnas, who has written the introduction to the book, defines synchronicities like this: observed coincidences, in which two or more independent events, having no apparent causal connection, nevertheless seem to form a meaningful pattern in our lives. Synchronicities are often seemingly trivial. It could be something quotidian you haven't thought about in 20 years, but when you do, that same thing suddenly appears all around you; in newspapers, signs, things you hear. Another contributor to the anthology, Jungian psychologist and mythologist Roderick Main, describes the evolution of our human understanding of the universe as having gone from enchantment to disenchantment (the scientific revolution) to reenchantment, which is happening now. “Life is still mysterious.” How can synchronicities happen? In Marjorie Woollacott's view, we are points of consciousness within the universal consciousness, and we are all entangled and co-creating this universe. “Within that playful entanglement, we draw the situations to ourselves that are most important for the unfolding of our paths in this universe.” She also points out that our beliefs create our reality, which means that what we pay attention to in our lives is what we allow to unfold. So, how should we act on synchronicities? “Value them highly and explore them.” Marjorie Woollacott believes we have some kind of guidance from the nonphysical reality. She refers to research she has done on mediumship, where mediums say they are in contact with people from “the other side”. “I saw the incredibly strong evidence about these people communicating with us, telling us things we didn't know that turned out to be true, and that could help us.” This is documented in peer reviewed papers, Many feel – and claim – that this world is unfair, and not only to themselves but to millions. “I believe it's a fundamental misunderstanding”, Marjorie says. “But we all have these thoughts. We are both a soul with infinite awareness and a tiny point of awareness. And the tiny point, where our ego resides, is always making judgments about what's pleasurable, what's painful, what causes suffering, and what causes expansion. And from that point of view, yeah, things can be really difficult.” “But if we can take the view of the whole, which is our essence, there is probably something we can learn from that moment of pain that will move us forward in our expansion of knowing who we are.” Marjorie's website The Playful Universe Bio at AAPS Bio at Galileo Commission

Is the brain structure found in many UFO experiencers and remote viewers related to intuition? Are anomalous isotope ratio alloys, allegedly fallen from UFO's, evidence that can help important jumps in the research into energy and transportation technologies? How can this be both a physical and psychological phenomenon simultaneously? Is there a connection between the mind and this brain structure and the phenomena? In this episode, we take a stab at talking scientifically about the fascinating, empirically problematic and historically controversial UFO phenomenon; it's particularly fascinating these days since the US director of National Intelligence confirmed in an official 2021 report that UAPs were in fact real and a ‘population of objects'. Many scientists and engineers are excited, because the study of UFO's, regardless of their origin, could give us clues to clean energy and transportation technology that we so urgently need to combat our pollution footprint, and in fact several patents have been granted to explore such experimental physics if sadly for military purposes, but at least its a start. Apart from a short comment from Harvard Astronomer and director of The Galileo project, Avi Loeb in Episode #45; and a mythological evaluation from religious studies professor Diana Pasulka in episode #53; An idealism perspective from Bernardo Kastrup in episode #34, our guest today is the first on the show to speak in detail about the scientific study of this phenomena. This episode is the perfect deeper dive into this topic, as my guest is going to speak about two pieces of physical evidence which he has studied, so often absent in claims about this phenomenon; Firstly, MRI scans and blood samples of experiencers from the military and intelligence services who had alleged interactions with UFO's; and secondly anomalous fragments of alloys recovered from alleged UFO encounter sites. Being a science podcast the data of physical evidence is always our first port of call, but as so often when discussing anomalous phenomena that don't fit with our current world view, the interpretations of that data are various and contradictory. Today's guest is the perfect person to present this data as he was contacted by US intelligence because he invented the equipment needed to analyse it; he's not shy of the possible implications of the data, while equally in no hurry to jump to any conclusions till we have confirming proof. He is the cell biologist & Chair of the Department of Pathology and part of the cancer immunology department at Stanford University school of medicine, Dr. Garry P. Nolan. He's published over 330 academic papers, holds 50 patents and has founded 8 bio-tech companies.

Leven we inderdaad op een historisch keerpunt waarop de mensheid gedwongen wordt heel anders te leven? Wat zal de opvolger van het antropoceen zijn waarin de mens centraal stond? Kan de intelligentie van de natuur ons helpen een nieuwe weg in te slaan? Kunnen we omgaan met de overweldigende complexiteit van de uitdagingen die op ons afkomen? In deze aflevering zetten we de hoogtepunten van een jaar lang gesprekken met pioniers en denkers voor Future Affairs op een rij. Hoe heeft deze podcastserie onszelf nou veranderd? En wat komt er de komende decennia op ons af?Met fragmenten uit de afleveringen met: Philipp Blom, Toby Ord, René ten Bos, Haroon Sheikh, Marleen Stikker, Bernardo Kastrup, Jalila Essaidi, Bob Hendrikx en Jeremy Lent.Abonneer je hier op de Future Affairs nieuwsbrief: nrc.nl/futureaffairsPresentatie: Jessica van der Schalk & Wouter van NoortProductie: Ruben PestMontage: Gal Tsadok-HaiZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hoe meer data je over de wereld verzamelt, hoe beter je weet hoe die in elkaar zit - toch? Volgens onze gast, natuurkundige en filosoof Bernardo Kastrup, is dat een grote misvatting. Hij laat op basis van recente experimenten in de kwantumfysica zien dat er iets rammelt aan de belangrijkste aannames van veel wetenschappers - en technologiebedrijven. Volgens Kastrup dwingen de bizarre bevindingen op kwantumniveau tot een totaal andere blik op de aard van de meetbare werkelijkheid, de toekomst van de wetenschap en uiteindelijk zelfs ons eigen bewustzijn. Het gebeurt ons niet vaak dat we in één gesprek anders leren kijken naar de kosmos én ons eigen bewustzijn, maar dat is precies wat er in deze podcast gebeurt. Wij moeten er nog steeds een beetje van bijkomen.Gast: Bernardo KastrupPresentatie: Wouter van Noort & Jessica van der SchalkProductie: Henk Ruigrok van der WervenMontage: Jeroen JaspersZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr Bernardo Kastrup is an author, scientist, philosopher, and the Director of the Essentia Foundation. He holds two PhDs - one in philosophy and the other in engineering. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. This conversation mostly focuses on Bernardo's unique perspective on UAPs (also commonly referred to as UFOs). We also touch on the significance of Carl Jung's book: “Answer to Job” and its potential for providing a sustainable source of transcendent meaning in a secular world. Expect to Learn: — Bernardo's two theories to understand and explain UAPs — Why it's more likely that UAPs are terrestrial rather than extra terrestrial — The link between mystery and meaning, and how a lack of the former depletes the latter.

In the first half, novelist, playwright, and marketing executive Penelope Holt shared her research on angels, reincarnation, and the metaphysical. Her exploration of the 1999 discovery of the 'Angel Scroll,' an alleged Dead Sea scroll that described a tour of heaven, along with apocalyptic imagery, sparked a sense of wonder and curiosity. Despite the Angel Scroll being more or less debunked, its ideas stimulated her interest in studying the ancient sect known as the Essenes, who lived near the Dead Sea, and the theory that Jesus was one of them. She noted that the Essenes were influenced by Egyptian mysteries and Hinduism and were oriented toward anti-violence. Some scholars claim that in Jesus' 'lost years,' he traveled to India, studied Buddhism, and believed in reincarnation.She also traced how the pagan Druids in England merged some of their ideas with the gospel of Jesus into an early form of Celtic Christianity after the biblical figure, Joseph of Arimathea, was said to visit post-crucifixion. On the possibility of an angelic realm, she related this to the work of philosopher and scientist Bernardo Kastrup, and physicist Donald Hoffman, who suggest that the nature of the universe is consciousness itself, and that our reality arises in consciousness. Holt believes that people who have expanded consciousness or perceptions may see angels or aliens who could inhabit a realm where there is no time-space or, past or future.--------------Susanne J. Wilson, known as the Carefree Medium, is an educator, spiritual teacher, and medium whose abilities have undergone scientific study and validation. In the latter half, she discussed what she has learned about the afterlife and the phases the soul goes through on the Other Side. Where we go when we pass over "seems to be dependent upon our thoughts, words, and actions while we were in our bodies here on Earth," she remarked, adding that Swedenborg, in his book "Heaven and Hell," wrote about how souls are kind of automatically transported by their energy to where they belong on the Other Side. While Wilson does not believe in a hell per se, she noted that there is evidence certain deceased individuals might self-create their own version of that.Further, she continued, various deep trance and direct voice mediums, such as Leslie Flint, have suggested that heaven is more real than our existence here. In a sense, she said, we are living in a dream now, and we wake up when we die. Wilson, who works with spirit guides, said she sometimes refers to them as interdimensional allies. "I think that we have all kinds of friends and intelligent non-humans in the unseen world on standby, helping us," she said. While illness or pain leading up to one's demise can be awful, death itself is an ecstatic experience, she mused, and we need not fear being judged in the afterworld. "There's no fire and brimstone, no judgment, just an opportunity to review your life," she revealed. During the last hour, she offered readings to callers.

We are excited to host Daniel Pinchbeck for a third time on the Mangu.tv podcast series.  Daniel is a globally renowned author, philosopher, journalist, public speaker, and futurist, widely recognized for his thought-provoking insights on global transformation and consciousness evolution. As a cultural critic, Pinchbeck is known for taking an interdisciplinary approach to his work, drawing on diverse fields such as psychedelics research, ecology, sustainability initiatives, and spiritual studies. Daniel is the author of Breaking Open the Head, The Return of Quetzalcoatl, and Notes from the Edge Times. He is also the founder of the think tank, Center for Planetary Culture, which produced the Regenerative Society Wiki. Pinchbeck's essays and articles have been featured in The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone and many other publications. He has been interviewed by The Colbert Report, BrandX with Russell Brand, Purple, and many others. Daniel shares his most recent endeavours, including courses, his substack, and his new publication, ‘The World You See Is the Myth You Are In: Essays on Politics, Consciousness, Technology and the Occult.' Daniel discusses scientific materialism, its meaning and context, as well as other forms of materialist idealogy, he talks about consciousness, morphogenic fields, and monistic idealism, citing theories from scientists such as Rupert Sheldrake and Bernardo Kastrup. He speaks about evidence of mystical and paranormal experiences shared with him over the years, from Sequoia Shamans to Tibetan Lamas. 

Join the esteemed philosopher and computer scientist Bernardo Kastrup in a wide-ranging exploration of the nature of mind and reality. The conversation begins with a look at the implications of idealism, the view that reality is essentially mental. If reality is like a dream, how do we accurately derive meaning from this collective dream and avoid the trap of projecting meaning onto it? Can we interpret disease in a meaningful way, and how do we read this form of sign language? Is there a connection to this world view with the Buddhist teaching on Mahamudra, or the tradition of the “Great Symbol”? Bernardo shares his innovative view of cancer and speaks about the compassion we should direct to our diseases. If disease is a form of dissociation, can we look at the meta-crises facing the world today as a meta-disease, and reduce the meta-crises to irreducibly simple principles? Does karmic theory have a place in the origin of phenomena?Dr. Kastrup shares his liberating view of death as the end of dissociation, not the end of consciousness. How do the contents of our mind contribute to “mind at large” when we die? What kind of “contribution” does someone like Hitler make? Intertwined with this discussion is the role of development, and the place of identity. What is our irreducible identity that is untouched even by death? The conversation turns to viewing the unconscious mind as the obfuscated or obscured mind. What is the main source of obfuscation, and where does dark retreat fit in? Is the light of meta-cognition a form of obfuscation? What about the relationship of light to mind, and to reality, altogether? Bernardo proclaims that philosophy must be lived if it is to be genuine. He shares two major ways his view of reality has positively affected his life, and two ways he has been challenged by his own views. What does Dr. Kastrup most want to know? See for yourself why Bernardo is a major figure in the world of philosophy, and a leading voice in the arena of nondual spirituality.

Is reality more than the material? Raj Balkaran holds a fascinating interview with philosopher Bernardo Kastrup on this topic. At the vanguard of the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, Bernardo presents cogent argumentation that reality is essentially mental, and examines the proper place of the scientific method in this deliberation. Bernardo's research exhibits some astonishing parallels with ancient Indic thought.  Bernardo Kastrup is the author of Analytic Idealism in a Nutshell: A Straightforward Summary of the 21st Century's Only Plausible Metaphysics" (Iff Books, 2024). About the book: As the failures of physicalism begin to shake the confidence of even the most biased of its supporters, a new view on the nature of reality is establishing itself as the only tenable alternative: Analytic Idealism. According to it, there is a world out there independent of our individual minds, but such world is - just like ourselves - also mental or experiential. While being a realist, naturalist, rationalist, and even reductionist view, Analytic Idealism flips our culture-bound intuitions on their head, revealing that only through understanding our own inner nature can we understand the nature of the world. This book embodies its author's years-long experience on how best to explain Analytic Idealism to someone who has never studied it before, and has no background in the technical fields involved. It meets the readers where they are, holding their hand as they are shown - through a series of evocative metaphors - how to see through their own unexamined assumptions, so to realize how the impossible dilemas of physicalism disappear when nature is regarded from a slightly different slant. The conclusions have tremendous implications for our values and way of life, as well as our understanding of purpose, self, identity, and death. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to Higher  Density Living. In this episode, Alexander and Jason discuss the essence of meditation. Rudolf Steiner is well known as a proponent of the 'Anthropos'—the wisdom of the human being. Steiner's philosophy seeks to merge the spiritual understanding of humanity with cosmic laws, positioning humans as central to the cosmos's purpose. This perspective challenges modern materialistic and environmental narratives that view human existence as a problem to be managed rather than an integral part of the cosmic order.   In this regard we are rejoined by special guest, Dr. Eric Cunningham, Ph.D., a Professor of Philosophy at Gonzaga University. His academic background includes a Master's degree in modern Japanese literature and a Ph.D. in history, both from the University of Oregon. Cunningham specializes in modern Japanese intellectual history and has research interests in Zen Buddhism, Catholicism, psychedelia, and eschatology. He is also the author of "Zen Past and Present" (2011) and is known for his work in combining traditional scholarly research with more esoteric and philosophical subjects.   Rudolf Steiner was an influential thinker whose ideas spanned a wide range of disciplines, including education, agriculture, and the arts. Born in 1861 in what is now Croatia and later moving to Austria, Steiner initially made his mark as a literary scholar and philosopher, particularly noted for his work on Goethe's scientific writings. However, he is most famously known for developing the spiritual movement known as Anthroposophy, in his book How to Know Higher Worlds: A Modern Path of Initiation which he described as a form of "spiritual science." Rudolf Steiner's prolific image and his significant influence during the early 20th century form profound engagement in spiritual discourse of the human experience. Steiner's perspectives offered an alternative vision to the materialistic tendencies of his time, emphasizing spiritual science and the development of human consciousness.   His concept of Meta History encompasses a pivotal event in 79, where he posits a fundamental battle between angelic hierarchies, notably involving Lucifer and St. Michael the archangel. This event, drawn from ancient mythologies like the book of Genesis, is situated within secular history, marking the descent of fallen spirits to earth. Interestingly, this aligns with a vision Pope Leo XIII had about demons being cast down to hell during a war.   Steiner's narrative intersects with mainstream religiosity, particularly Catholicism, albeit from a mystical perspective. He contends that the unleashing of demons in 79 ushered in a uniquely strange era, symbolized by the end of the Kali Yuga, a dark age in Hindu cosmology. According to Steiner, humanity has reached its nadir and is now poised for spiritual ascent, returning to unity and evolution.   Steiner's significance lies in his presence during key historical junctures, such as industrialization and World War I, and his recognition of the transformative shift post-World War I. He perceives the 1920s as a period of profound change, diverging from the ideals of the Enlightenment and Renaissance into a darker, more twisted reality. Steiner serves as a guide for humanity towards spiritual evolution and unity.   This discussion ties into broader historical contexts, particularly World War I, which Steiner perceived not merely as a terrestrial conflict but as a reflection of cosmic battles, drawing upon the hermetic principle "as above, so below." He viewed these tumultuous times as the manifestation of spiritual warfare, with implications that stretched beyond the immediate horrors of the battlefield. Steiner suggested that the souls of the fallen soldiers participated in larger spiritual struggles, contributing to the ongoing battle between spiritual light and darkness.   Moreover, Steiner's academic background in mathematics, physics, and philosophy profoundly influenced his teachings. Educated in Vienna, his engagement with contemporary scientific theories, including relativity and emerging ideas related to quantum theory, allowed him to integrate these concepts with esoteric and spiritual insights. His dissertation on Fichte's concept of the self, completed in 1891, reflects his deep philosophical grounding, which he later expanded upon in his spiritual teachings.   Steiner's transition from a purely academic philosopher to a spiritual teacher began around 1899 when he published "The Philosophy of Freedom." This work marked a pivotal shift towards esotericism and laid the groundwork for his later Anthroposophical work, which seeks to synthesize spiritual knowledge with practical aspects of life, including education, agriculture, and medicine.   The term "festival of knowledge" which was highly influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe laid the groundwork for Steiner's later academic achievements. These initial forays into literature, written before he even attained his PhD, primarily focused on Goethe's interplay with science, a theme that continued to resonate throughout his career.   The core of his scholarly work culminated in his dissertation, which later evolved into a book titled "The Philosophy of Freedom." This piece not only highlights his academic rigor but also showcases his deep dive into the realms of idealism and consciousness, themes that remain pivotal in contemporary philosophical debates. As we discussed previously, current theories of consciousness and idealism, such as those proposed by thinkers like Bernardo Kastrup and Donald Hoffman, often touch upon concepts similar to those he explored. They discuss the notion of a reality predominantly constituted by the mind, a perspective he had already articulated in the late 1800s using a different vocabulary, one that predated the advent of cybernetics.   Interestingly, his exploration wasn't confined to pure philosophy; it also embraced an emotive dimension, adding a richer, more holistic layer to his theoretical constructs. This emotional infusion was particularly evident during the period you mentioned, where his philosophical inquiries intertwined with a broader, more sentient approach to understanding human cognition and consciousness. This blend of technical philosophy and emotional insight exemplifies the depth of his "festival of knowledge," bridging the gap between rational thought and human experience.   He described as the crucifixion of Christ, which he termed the "mystery of Golgotha." He believed this event marked the turning point in cosmic history, signifying not just a theological or historical moment but a deep, transformative personal revelation. This wasn't a matter of philosophical debate for him; it was a visceral truth, deeply felt and integral to his understanding of reality. It was during this time that he synthesized a high-level logical comprehension of reality with a convicted, inner awareness of these cosmic truths. Unlike many philosophers who might purely engage in academic discourse, he integrated mystic visions and clairvoyance into his scientific and philosophical explorations.   Steiner was not originally a staunch member of the Theosophical Society; he became associated with it through his lectures to German aristocrats and wealthy patrons. His involvement seems to have been a strategic move to promote a formal integration of spirituality into modern life. However, as the society increasingly embraced Eastern philosophies under the influence of figures like Madame Blavatsky, Colonel Olcott, and Annie Besant, Steiner felt a disconnect. He believed that Western traditions were essential for Western people and advocated for a spiritual understanding that respected cultural roots rather than adopting Eastern identities. This belief, coupled with disagreements over promoting Jiddu Krishnamurti as a new messiah—a notion Steiner vehemently opposed—led to his departure from the society.   In addressing accusations of racism against Steiner, it's crucial to understand his use of the term "root race," which in his cosmology referred to stages of civilization development, such as Atlantis, rather than ethnicities. Steiner emphasized that race is a secondary characteristic and spoke of the spiritual importance of national and cultural identities in shaping individual destinies. This perspective suggests that while he recognized human diversity, he did not advocate for racial hierarchies.   Indeed, his unique approach led him to play a significant role in the Theosophical Society, becoming the general secretary of its German section in 1920. However, his strong Christian orientation and his focus on Western esoteric traditions eventually caused a rift within the society. His dedication to integrating science, spirituality, and art for the holistic development of humanity prompted him to found his own society.   By understanding the deep connections between our spiritual journey and the universe, we can foster a more holistic and sustainable approach to both personal growth and global challenges.   Discover more about Dr. Eric Cunningham ground breaking work on ancient wisdom by checking more about his latest best-selling book “The Luciferic Verses: The Daodejing and the Chinese Roots of Esoteric History ” and his  “Hallucinating the End of History: Nishida, Zen, And The Psychedelic Eschaton” available online and physical bookstores.   As always, Higher Density Living reserves no dogma because only the truth prevails in the universe.

Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy and another Ph.D. in computer engineering. As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for CERN and Philips Research Laboratories. Bernardo's 11th book, coming in 2024, is 'Analytic Idealism in a Nutshell: A straightforward summary of the 21st-century's only plausible metaphysics.' This is me listening to Bernardo and asking him questions so as to better understand the world as mind. To do this, we explored what it means to be human. Bernardo explained the work of Nietzsche, Frankl, Schopenhauer, and Jung to me as well as how a bourgeoise has sought to wrest control of our culture away from the church and ultimately leave us stranded, meaningless, and seeking solutions elsewhere. Bernardo taught me that we should not seek answers or solutions. These will never appear to us and we simply don't have the capability to understand what is going on. Instead, like the apple blossom in his garden, we should just be. We should listen to the noumena, the will inside us. We can describe it as duty, as calling, as fate, or as many other things. But ultimately, we are a violin and we should allow ourselves to be played by nature rather than seeking to force ourselves on the world. We should seek service instead of personal happiness. These ideas will stay with me for a while. At the end, I asked him to recommend a movie, a book, and a song.

On this ID The Future episode from the vault, neurosurgeon Michael Egnor interviews Bernardo Kastrup, a philosopher with a background in computer engineering, about consciousness, evolution, and intelligent design. Did consciousness evolve? What does the evidence suggest? And how do materialists deal with the seemingly immaterial reality that is consciousness? Source

This week's episode features a conversation with philosopher and scientist Dr. Bernardo Kastrup, a prominent figure in the renaissance of metaphysical idealism—the view that reality is fundamentally mental, meaning to say that everything that exists is consciousness or Mind. Bernardo Kastrup is also the Executive Director at the Essentia Foundation, a new foundation dedicated to exploring the nature of reality, and is renowned for his extensive publications, including his upcoming book 'Analytical Idealism in a Nutshell.'Our conversation reveals the deep parallels between Tantrik Shaivism and metaphysical idealism, both of which conceptualize reality as fundamentally mental or conscious. We discuss how these perspectives, although expressed in different languages, converge on the same understanding. The episode includes an afterword, and for those unfamiliar with Dr. Kastrup's work, we recommend starting there to better appreciate the insights shared in our dialogue.Take Bernardo Kastrup's free online introductory course Analytic Idealism with Bernardo Kastrup.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.

In this enriching exploration of the perplexing world of UFOs, disclosure phenomena, and the Law of One, Doug Scott and Austin Bridges delve into how these complex layers of existence intersect and influence each other. Our conversation revisits earlier perspectives and discusses crucial recent developments, notably the emergence of insider whistleblower David Grush, a former Air Force intelligence officer responsible for investigating UAPs and the groundbreaking proposals in the field of UFO disclosure. The discussion further explores the understanding of UFO phenomena from the standpoint of social influencers, contentious debunkers, and distinguished academicians, examining the profound cultural and individual impacts. This episode takes you deep into the philosophies and spiritual perspectives surrounding the UFO phenomena, moving beyond the simplistic believers versus skeptics' viewpoint. Engage in deep contemplation about the nature of consciousness and the dynamics of reality as we navigate through Jungian dream interpretation and philosophical discussions on symbolism. This episode broadens the perspective on the UFO phenomena, articulating how it embodies both elements of positive evolution and fear instilling influence, often leading to confusion. Our exploration of the integration of the Law of One, metaphysics, and process theology sheds light on the understanding of polarity, the moral realm, and humanity's ascent into the fourth density. The episode also delves into academic discourses around UFOs, emphasizing the complexity inherent to such subjects and the importance of academia as the foundation for societal progression. Conclude with a stimulating discussion about the balance of positivity and negativity in collective consciousness, examining humanity's alignment with the influx of information. This final contemplation agrees on a divine pull towards unity and wholeness and the influential role intellectuals play as bridge builders for future progress.

"Kolm kõige rohkem sõltuvust tekitavat ainet [vähem ohtlikumast kõige ohtlikuma suunas, H.] on heroiin, süsivesikud ja kuupalk," on öelnud [Nassim Taleb](https://www.apollo.ee/prokrustese-sang.html). "Nüüdisaegse läänemaailma kõige iseloomulikum tunnusjoon on kõikvõimalike sõltuvuste vohamine," lisab talle hollandi idealistlik filosoof [Bernardo Kastrup](https://teejuhid.postimees.ee/7940791/intervjuu-hardo-pajula-intervjuu-bernardo-kastrupiga-jungi-kroonijuveel). "Ma nimetan sõltuvust rumalaks sõbraks, kes aitas mind omal viisil raskest ajast läbi, kuid kes ei suuda õppida ja ei saa aru, et tema abi teeb mulle juba ammu kahju," sekundeerib kahele eelmainitule kanada tervendaja Gabor Mate. Need kolm mõtet ongi meie tänase jutuajamise tõukelaud. Juttu tuleb sõltuvusest, depressioonist, päevauudistest ja kuupalgast. Peatse kohtumiseni! H.

In today's episode, I had the absolute honor of speaking with one of my personal intellectual heroes, Bernardo Kastrup. Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of the Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (with a focus in ontology and philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (with a focus in reconfigurable computing and artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). He has also had a 25-year career in high-technology, having co-founded parallel processing company Silicon Hive (which was acquired by Intel in 2011). Bernardo Kastrup is also the author of 11 books. I basically have an entire Kastrup shelf inmy office. His book, “Meaning In Absurdity: What Bizarre Phenomena Can Tell Us About the Nature of Reality” is, in my opinion, one of the most important books written on the UFO phenomenon. I can't recommend it highly enough. Just a heads up before we begin—if you aren't familiar with Kastrup's thinking on analytic idealism, the first part of this interview might be a little challenging. If you stick it out, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how elegantly analytic idealism deals with some of the more mysterious aspects of the anomalous phenomena. If you'd like to learn more about analytic idealism, there are some great resources and videos that can walk you through it step-by-step.

In this episode, Darren/Exo and Nathan take a deep dive into Bernardo Kastrup's Meaning in Absurdity, a book that offers a compellingly fresh take not just on the high strangeness associated with UFOs and faerie lore, but on the ultimate nature of reality itself.

This video explores groundbreaking theories on consciousness, the nature of reality, and the possibility of plasma life forms. We look at the work of Donald Hoffman, Bernardo Kastrup, and Massimo Teodorani and how their ideas could rewrite our understanding of the universe and point to cosmic consciousness. Theories on quantum effects in the brain, dissociated identities, and plasma simulations are connected to fundamentally rethinking life, intelligence, and the cosmos.Premiered on 28 Jan 2024

Since mysterious aerial objects were first encountered by pilots during World War Two, questions have remained among world leaders about whether there could be a technological presence on Earth of unknown origin. If so, what could they be, and where could the be from?  This week, we are joined by philosopher and computer scientist Bernardo Kastrup, the executive director of the Essentia Foundation. With Ph.D.s in philosophy and computer engineering, he is the author of several books, including Why Materialism is Baloney, as well as a new controversial new essay,“UAPs and Non-Human Intelligence: What Is the Most Reasonable Scenario,” recently published at The Debrief. Kastrup shares his perspectives on why UAP and NHI could represent a phenomenon much closer to home in this wide-reaching discussion on The Micah Hanks Program. Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?
