Foundations: What Is Consciousness?

🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thirdeyedrops Andres Gomez Emilsson enters the mind meld! Andres is a consciousness researcher, mathematician, and President of the Qualia Research Institute (QRI), an organization that explores the structure of experience itself through a number of lenses. Their work dives into the geometry of consciousness, the structure and phenomenology of altered states, and the tantalizing possibility that the universe itself is built from qualia, the raw substance of direct experience. In this one, we traverse: -Entities, altered states and realms of consciousness. -Holographic consciousness: Is the universe a self-reflecting field of awareness? -Physics and phenomenology — Can conscious experience be measured geometrically and structurally? -The geometry of reality — How sacred patterns and mathematical beauty might underlie all experience. -UFOs, intelligence, and the living cosmos — Are we part of a grander field of minds and sentient geometry?

Whether you lean mystical, mathematical or somewhere in between, this one will perk up your wonder whiskers.
