This is Dr Deepak Chopra and I have a very special message
and
a challenge and
a request
for mainstream scientists.
So uh please,
if you're in the science world
and a scientist or a science journalist,
then do respond to this message
right now, the two most open questions in science
or what is the universe made of and what's the biological basis of consciousness?
So I'm suggesting
that both these questions are wrong questions,
the universe, of course, we all agree. I think
most scientists would agree
is born over singularity
which is probably outside of space and time.
And
the universe is not a noun,
it's a verb and it's a perceptual activity in consciousness. So
the universe is made of nothing
which leads to the second open question in science.
If it is made of nothing, why does it look like this? Like you me
like the furniture,
like the milky way galaxy like trees, rocks
animals, insects
and humans
and every perceivable object.
So this is of course called the hard
problem of consciousness and the way science frames it
is what's the biological basis of consciousness.
So I'm suggesting something and that is we're asking the wrong questions.
The universe is made of nothing. So nothing is no thing.
And there's no biological basis for consciousness.
If we understand that all science is in consciousness,
then I think we have the solution to the hard problem of consciousness.
And this would change the way we do science,
a science that is based on consciousness is fundamental reality,
could become divine right now. Science is both divine and diabolical.
You know, we do create amazing technologies like this,
the one I'm using right now to speak to you.
But we also make but we also make nuclear weapons and
we conduct biological warfare cyberwarfare.
All
the gifts of science can also
the scientific method as we do it now,
then
these could also lead to our extinction.
Diabolical science could lead to our extinction.
So science based on
consciousness as fundamental reality
would actually bring us together
to create a more peaceful, just sustainable healthier and joyful world.
So let me actually frame one question
to all of you in the scientific world, including science, journalists and writers,
and
especially academic scientists.
So here's uh here's the challenge,
it is impossible to transform quanta into quality a quantum means measurement.
You know, we measure a vibration of light, for example,
in the visible spectrum is totally detached from
the color red
as an experience by experience.
I mean Gwalia. So red is quagliana and currently
the electromagnetic spectrum
that is associated with the color red and I could use innumerable examples.
That's a quantum
a quantum means unit of energy and information and measurement.
So once again, it is impossible to transform quanta into Kolia
a vibration of light
in the visible spectrum is totally detached
from red as an experience or quality.
Once you accept this,
then what follows
it isn't acceptable, I think
to accept two realities,
one of measurement and data
and the other of experience.
Once again, it isn't acceptable
to have two realities,
one of measurement and data, the other of experience.
What
if all quanta are just gwalior to begin with?
This already holds good. If consciousness
is your starting point because reality as a whole is experienced,
see if this is a starting point,
then reality as a whole can be experienced even outside the Savanna Range.
You know, where we evolved as human species.
The Savannah range
of perceptual experience
includes very large, small fast and slow events or objects.
And all of these depend on quality known as size.
Well, you know, the experience called size,
quantified reality has no independent reality.
It has got in a contradiction.
Measurements are supposedly made
independent of consciousness.
Yet without consciousness, nothing can be measured.
Science is opposed to magical thinking.
But if you exclude consciousness, the creation of Kuala is nothing
but a magical act,
an illusion,
no one can see through.
So
dear scientists,
let's get rid of magical thinking,
create a nuisance
in consciousness.
Understanding that consciousness is fundamental without cause
space, lys,
timeless dimension, lys
irreducible
and
unimaginable,
unimaginable
incomprehensible.
But through transcendence,
it can be experienced
as
infinite possibilities
and expresses itself as nonlocal correlation, entanglement, self organization,
self evolution and
and and
also gives rise to insight and intuition.
Very important for the scientific method,
Israelis to creativity.
And of course, this paradigm would say
that the universe is a creative
expression
of cosmic consciousness and that consciousness is unimaginable,
incomprehensible,
cannot be perceived. But without it,
there's no imagination
um
conceptualization
or even measurement.
Please respond.
Scientists, science journalists
and academics,
let us shift the paradigm.
Thank you.
