Under The Skin with Russell Brand

CHAPTER

The Future of Consciousness

In the far future of the universe, there won't be any suns left shining. I believe that matterism emerges from consciousness, not vice versa. We are one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. The reason that we should love nature and love the earth and love one another is because we are all one. Why are we moved by heroism? Because a person sacrifices themselves for another. This is merely the grid of the senses dealing with physical information. It's nothing more than a tiny amount of time in the life of the universe. A human race can only exist individually when we explore our temporary existence as humans.
