   Oh, yeah, I know, I know, I like it, but I think for me, if you want to just make it really like a basic message to me, it's just like saying that in idealism we just say that that ocean is consciousness, right? The ocean is the mind at large. You can agree with that on that. Yeah. But I mean, assuming that we will eventually unify, our 17 quantum fields that we need to go into in grand unification theory. Yeah. Then I would say the resulting field is a model of this field of subjectivity. That is the ground our lives. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And then I can sort of following that helps me also pe…

   You know, it made it made a kind of obvious sense to me that I'm perceiving the world through my eyes and so my consciousness is how my eyes and brain, I don't know if I thought about it in terms of the brain, but I realized that my picture of the world is mine. You know, it's something my consciousness belongs to me and I am not inside of anybody else's consciousness. So, you know, presumably they have their own version of what I'm perceiving. But this this one that I'm perceiving must be different from the actual world itself. And and then, you know, I went backwards from that to try to imag…

   There was a field and in this field all the qualia were all in this field of qualia but there was no observer. So there was there was a field of stuff that I recognized as lights, as sounds, as emotions, but they were not my emotions because there was no me yet. So I I perceive, you know, the way I reconstructed this later was that it it was an experience when I was very young maybe one two weeks old. So these other experience you know so now now it's before there is even an observer but there is a field of stuff just to give you a few then I was out of body okay so my conscious is not even in…

   I often talk about the virtual reality headset metaphor. It's a very very good step away from our assumption that space and time and the world of objects that we see around us every day is the true nature of reality. It's not. There was a moment in which I realized everything that you've done, Don, all this mathematics means anything that you see in the world around you is your construct. That hit me in the face so hard. It is still of course taken me decades now to emotionally recover from that and to to come to terms with it and years of meditation to let that go and to to just think this is…

   The conclusion which is an hypothesis that consciousness and free will must come must be together and uh they must be they must exist at the beginning of the universe. They cannot come later. They have to be part of the nature of everything. Yeah. All music to my ears. both the the way you arrived at this information and the conclusions you derived from this experience and just to I'm going to give an intro so maybe it's I don't need to like give this full speech but just to really put things in a proper context for the audience you know you're a conventionally successful person a hyper succes…

   And then this energy all of a sudden is everywhere. And this white scintillating light, my consciousness is in that light. And so now I am observing myself. So I'm the observer of myself this energy because this love was there. This joy and this peace was there as well. And then a thought forms. Wow. A thought. But I already got what the thought was trying to say. The thought was oh this stuff is what everything is made of. But these are symbols. What before that thought there was the understanding that the thought expressed and then that was the end of it. My my body was vibrating you know li…

   But just for the materialist as well, like there is some sense in which I just am this collection of atoms. You know, I just am the collection of atoms that's in my brain and my body. And it sounds like you want to say that's kind of true, but in the opposite direction where like the materialist says you have a bunch of matter and that just somehow is the same thing as this conscious experience. If I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying you are just this conscious experience. you are just this like mentality. It's just that if you look at that from the outside, it just looks like a brain. It…

   Because you were somebody who was very successful and the fruits of your labor in the classical physicalist model, right? And then from this experience afterwards, your energies and you know minds started to change into exploring more how consciousness could be more fundamental uh constituent of the universe. And so from that moment forward, what were the coming years and decades? What did that look like for you as you started to change how you um what you were studying in your field of of expertise? Yeah. The essence of what I am, what I thought that I am changed from this way to that way. So…

    Physics only describes what what's what you can measure in the space and time. But what you can feel is that in space and time cannot possibly be in space and time. So where is it? And so that was the journey where I dedicated myself 100%. I decided to that's it. That's what I want to do for the rest of my life. you unite physics and spirituality into a seamless hole where you can no longer tell the boundaries between one and the other and it is the most exciting time to be alive at least I feel where the unification of science and spirit is becoming one we're seeing how they are different way…
