Consciousness, Evolution, TOE, cosmos

[Lucky7Strikes]

The whole lecture is indeed very long, yet worth watching. It relates very well to recent discussions on Buddhism, Advaita, Karma, etc. Interesting that he studied these on his own instead of relying on scriptures or tradition.

 

Enjoy!

He still seems to reify an ultimate transcendent consciousness. Which is very easy to do and most traditions do this, because for the most part, we're just destined to recycle over and over again.

 

Oh, by the way I heard of him many years ago and I've heard of this new book. This is not the first time I've seen Thomas Campbell.

 

Thanks though, it's all nice but average and a perspective I've been hearing of my entire life. It would be the first stage for someone who has never heard this before though.

Haha, yes. I was waiting for someone in the audience to go "Dependent! They are dependent!" .

 

He does reify it to some extent, but not as a supreme God who has control over everything, but is also evolving. But I liked how he incorporates the idea of individual free will and compassion as factors of evolution. From a "scientist" that is.

 

It was quite...touching... .

 

I would like to have as much control he does over his yin body though. Hmm, kind of jealous.

Yes, he is a pretty strong character.
