Scientists Think the Universe Is a Quantum Computer – Here’s The Physics Behind It!

There is no “outside.” No other system. The universe is not on a computer. It is the computer. It is the thing performing the computation. It doesn’t need anyone watching it. It doesn’t need a server farm or a control panel. It simply is what it is: a system that processes information according to its own rules. In other words, when we talk about the universe as a quantum computer, we’re not saying it’s pretending to be real. We’re saying this is what real is.

Beyond Metaphor: Is Our Universe Literally a Brain? | Full Documentary

What if the sprawling cosmic web of galaxies, spanning billions of light years, shares striking similarities with the neural circuitry in our heads? In this video, we delve deep into recent research showing that the “cosmic filaments” binding galaxy clusters might parallel the intricate networks of neurons and synapses in our brains. Join us as we unpack how these two vastly different scales—microscopic neural tissue and a universe-sized lattice of galaxies—can exhibit comparable statistical patterns, structural motifs, and even “self-organizing” behaviors. We begin by exploring why the universe looks “networked,” discussing how gravitational interactions form cosmic filaments linking superclusters. We then compare this to neural connectivity, where billions of neurons form complex circuits of short- and long-range synapses. Along the way, we examine tools like high-resolution imaging, cosmological simulations, and graph theory—methods that let us treat both the human brain and the universe as interconnected networks. We’ll see how “nodes and bridges” are crucial in each system: neurons form local clusters bridged by long axons, just as galaxies clump into clusters connected by filaments. Next, we tackle the concept of self-organization: in the brain, synaptic plasticity continually reshapes circuits based on use, while in the cosmos, gravitational collapse sculpts voids and filaments from early quantum fluctuations. We also discuss information theory, where the brain balances order and entropy during perception and learning, while the cosmos develops “local pockets of order” (galaxy clusters) in a largely expanding universe. Finally, we address the hotly debated notion of “cosmic consciousness”—whether the universe “thinks” as a brain does or whether these parallels simply highlight universal design principles in nature, rather than any form of cosmic mind. If you’re curious about how cutting-edge simulations, entropy analyses, and network science bridge neuroscience and astrophysics, this video is for you. Get ready to see both the cosmos and your own brain in a whole new light!

A Book So Dangerous It Exposes the Hidden War on Intelligence (no bs)

Everything is energy. Are you highly intelligent but feel trapped, misunderstood, or disconnected from the world? You’re not alone. Society wasn’t built for deep thinkers—it was designed to reward mediocrity, suppress critical thought, and keep the most capable minds distracted, isolated, and financially dependent. In this video, we uncover the hidden war on intelligence, breaking down the three key ways society suppresses high-IQ individuals, why The Curse of the High IQ by Aaron Clarey explains this phenomenon, and most importantly—how to escape ‘The IQ Trap’ and leverage your intelligence for true success.

Awakening Mind Part 2 – “The Mind Unveiled”

The Mind Unveiled expresses the “great forgetting” that occurs when we enter the human experience, obscuring the truth of who we truly are. The journey of realizing our true essential nature, the dual nature of ego and illusion, and the imprint of historical and cultural conceptions of the mind are examined through personal anecdotes and expert perspectives. The Mind Unveiled advocates for a collective awakening to address humanity’s challenges, suggesting that recognizing the ego as the core of suffering can lead to a more compassionate, interconnected, and fulfilling life. The film cast features: Angelo Dilullo, Rupert Spira, Shakti Caterina Maggi, Francis Lucille, Amoda Maa, Steve Taylor, Victoria Ukachukwu, Bernardo Kastrup, Helen Hamilton, Tom Das, Jan Frazier, Louise Kay, Lisa Natoli, and Loch Kelly with narration by Daniel Schmidt.

Have You Lived Before?

Have you ever wondered if your soul has experienced lives beyond your current one? This takes you on a journey into the enigmatic realm of past lives and reincarnation. We’ll explore the age-old question, “Have you lived before?” and delve into the possibilities that lie within the concept of the soul’s journey through multiple lifetimes.

 

Awakening Mind Part 1, “Know Thyself” (2023) – Complete HD Film

Awakening is the next stage in human evolution. The Awakening Mind Film Series travels the globe speaking to wisdom teachers, visionaries, and scientists from broad and diverse disciplines, philosophies, and traditions who are pointing with uncanny similarity and intelligence to this time as an epic juncture and an invitation to a higher evolution for humanity. Awakening Mind explores the questions “who am I?”, “what is awakening?”, “why awaken?”, “what is consciousness?”, “how do I awaken?”, “what is the purpose and meaning of life?”, and “how am I to navigate this world experience to the best of my ability for the benefit of all?” In this time where the world feels out of control and filled with so much suffering and sadness, these questions are particularly relevant, and the answers are a lot simpler than one might imagine. Our visionaries will help our audience see that life is not as complicated as they may believe, and it is possible to awaken to the understanding that peace and happiness is available to anyone anywhere in the world right now. The Awakening Mind Film Series will be released for free for the benefit of humanity and the awakening of human consciousness (in as many languages as possible). Speakers in Part 1, “Know Thyself” include: Rupert Spira, Donald Hoffman, Neale Donald Walsch, Loch Kelly, Lisa Natoli, and Daniel Schmidt.

Tukdam: The Point of Death

Irish director Donagh Coleman and Wildfire Films explore the extraordinary phenomenon of Tukdam, whereby some Tibetan Buddhist practitioners are able to forestall physical decay at the point of clinical death for days, even weeks, by entering a deep meditative state. Supported by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who appears in this film, a group of leading scientists conduct groundbreaking research into the phenomenon, which challenges Western medical understanding of the line between life and death.

This feature documentary explores a phenomenon that blurs life and death to an unprecedented degree. In what Tibetan Buddhists call ‘tukdam’, advanced meditators die in a consciously controlled manner. Though dead according to our biomedical standards, they often stay sitting upright in meditation; remarkably, their bodies remain fresh and lifelike, without signs of decay for days, sometimes weeks after clinical death. Following ground-breaking scientific research into tukdam and taking us into intimate death stories of Tibetan meditators, the film juxtaposes scientific and Tibetan perspectives as it tries to unravel the mystery of ‘tukdam’.

Gurdjieff in Armenia Documentary Film

A documentary on George Gurdjieff with Armenian sub-titles. Contains original and rare footage of the Gurdjieff movements and music from the 1920’s and covers the basis of his teaching in his own words. George Gurdjieff was born in 1867 in Gyumri (formerly Alexandropol) in Armenia. His father Ivan was Greek and his mother Yeva was Armenian. The film was made by Jean-Claude Lubtchansky, a close associate of Madame de Salzmann, with the support of the Gurdjieff Institute in France and is best viewed in full screen on a television or laptop. Osho described Gurdjieff as one of the most significant spiritual masters of this era and indeed this is a film well worth watching. Gurdjieff’s teaching is fully described in the book called “In Search of the Miraculous” which can be read at http://www.gurdjieff.am
