It’s a thought-provoking conversation about the nature of reality and what it means to be human. You can find out more about Tom’s work at https://www.tomcheetham.com/
Reality Begins with Consciousness with Vernon Neppe
Vernon Neppe, MD, PhD, FRSSAf, is a neuropsychiatrist and head of the Pacific Neuropsychiatric Institute in Seattle. He is author, with physicist Edward Close, of Reality Begins with Consciousness: A Paradigm Shift that Works. He is also author of Déjà Vu Revisited, Déjà Vu: A Second Look, Déjà Vu: Glossary and Library, Cry the Beloved Mind: A Voyage of Hope, and Innovative Psychopharmacotherapy. His professional publications number over 700. Dr Neppe has amplified many of his concepts in two of the websites linked with his work. On www.Brainvoyage.com, his books are amplified. www.VernonNeppe.org is his gateway and includes more information on the Neppe-Close model of the Triadic Distinction Vortical Paradigm. Dr. Vernon Neppe refers to his theoretical work as a “new paradigm”. By looking at nine, discreet, finite dimensions he is able to show the relationship between the finite and the infinite. His mathematical model calls for a third entity, in addition to matter and energy, called “gimmel” and which may be an expression of the contents of consciousness. Because his work challenges so many commonly held beliefs, it is difficult for many people to comprehend. However, it offers the potential for understanding the nature of consciousness, life, and paranormal phenomena. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.

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.

Ken Wilber in an Insightful Discussion on Integrating Spirituality, Science, and Human Development
Join an insightful discussion between Andrew Holecek and Ken Wilber on integrating spirituality, science, and human development. They discussed Wilber’s new book “Finding Radical Wholeness” and how it provides a comprehensive overview of waking up, growing up, opening up, cleaning up, and showing up as vectors of transformation. A major topic was distinguishing between waking up experiences and growing up stages, as well as clarifying the pre-trans fallacy around interpreting early fusion states as enlightenment. They also dialogued around expanding notions of matter and consciousness, with Wilber arguing that interiority exists at all scales from quarks to humans. Overall, the discussion provided valuable insights into integral theory, stages of human development, and how to apply these concepts through integral life practice to facilitate personal and social evolution.
Groundbreaking Consciousness Theory By CPU inventor Federico Faggin & Bernardo Kastrup
A new theory of consciousness proposes that qualia — for instance, the scent of a rose — reside in quantum fields. Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today. A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world’s entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this discussion, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature’s most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.

Robert Lanza’s Theory of Everything: Biocentrism
Welcome to ‘Artificially Aware,’ where we delve into the profound intersections of science, philosophy, and the human experience. Today’s video is an exploration that will not only intrigue your intellect but may also transform your perspective on existence itself. In this thought-provoking presentation, we dissect “Biocentrism: Robert Lanza’s Theory of Everything,” a revolutionary concept that positions life and consciousness at the heart of the universe. As you embark on this journey with us, you’ll discover how biocentrism challenges the traditional view of a lifeless cosmos operating under indifferent laws, proposing instead that life is the catalyst shaping reality. Our video takes you through an immersive narrative, interwoven with insights from science and philosophy, to unveil how biocentrism suggests that the universe is akin to a grand piano, with life itself playing the keys. We explore the idea that time and space may not be rigid structures but are instead subjective realities shaped by our perceptions. Hear echoes from the past as we draw parallels with the thoughts of Plato, Descartes, and Kant, and see how their ideas resonate with Lanza’s perspective on the centrality of consciousness. We also examine the historical context of biocentrism, from the ancient Greeks to the Renaissance, and its modern-day implications for ethical decision-making, cultural expressions, and current debates on environmental and space exploration issues. This video is a must-watch for anyone curious about the deeper meanings of existence, the role of life in the cosmos, and the potential for a philosophical renaissance in our modern world. It’s a call to ponder our place and responsibility in the grand narrative of the universe.
