"In all thinking people there comes a time of deep questioning when they ask themselves, “What is life?” and “What is death?” Before these questions can be answered satisfactorily, however, the most basic question of all arises: “What is God?” To this no man can possibly give a complete answer. We have progressed so far beyond the old anthropomorphic concept of a God with human attributes and characteristics, that many people who consider themselves to be atheist or agnostic are now accepting the more modern and scientific approach to God as Infinite Mind, Infinite Intelligence, Infinite Energy and Substance, Infinite Wisdom and Love. The magnitude of God is so tremendous as to be beyond the scope of man’s imagination. God is so vast, so enormous that it defies complete human understanding." - John Hefferlin

“How can you see that which you yourself are a part of? We are all expressions of God. When you see with your eyes you see with the eyes of God. And God experiences reality through yours. When you speak to God you are speaking to yourself. We are one and the same. There is no division or separation. You can no more see God than your hand can see you. For it is a part of you and functions as a part of you, for your purposes as well as its own. There is no separation. Any that seems to exist is an illusion. The light that surrounds us is God. It is our source of being and given freely to all.” - From An NDE Account, When Experiencer Asked Why He Did Not See God

I think Professor Spillner's discussion is very similar to Federico Faggin's thinking. He often talks about qualia to describe the process of consciousness, and Professor Spillner referenced it in the video. Furthermore, this theme also seems to connect to the positions of C.G. Jung and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Pauli: their partnership represents one of the most fascinating encounters between matter and psyche. Jung, among other things, had a profound near-death experience during his life. Dani, I was wondering, will there ever be an episode in which you talk to us about the near-death experiences that have most impacted you? From the few times you mention it, it seems like you've done a lot of research on the topic.

God. What if God is a self-generating awareness of a simple, elegant, fundamental Truth? "Nothing is the One Thing that CANNOT exist." Seriously meditate upon that intellectual/spiritual/mental Brainteaser of an absolute Truth until it really sinks in and resonates with your Truth. Nothing cannot exist. If it exists, then it cannot be nothing, and therefore it cannot exist. NOTHING CANNOT EXIST. What if this Truth impelled awareness of itself? Imagine this created a Consciousness Singularity, an awareness of Absolute Truth and an Awareness of being aware of that Truth. A Consciousness Singularity. Of no physical substance, Consciousness is the ultimate, fundamental substrate of all things, which finally must be understood as Perception In Consciousness. It is incontestable that the entirety of your life is a continuous feed of conscious awareness interspersed with periodic disawareness/Sleep. Sleep is a state of disawareness, or unconsciousness

. I've become so disappointed in the current crop of theoretical physicists - all trying to explain reality from inside the narrow confines of our three dimensional, material based perceptive. When asked if maybe there's something bigger/unseen/more expansive (not even mentioning religion or God here) they all brush it off and go back to their math formulas to try to prove their own pet theory. // Remember what the 'experts' told us in the past..."The human body can't withstand speeds greater than 60mph", "Humans will never fly", "Humans will never go to the moon" etc etc. One by one, they've all been proven wrong!
