According to Bentov, consciousness evolves to the 'absolute' which is the source of all consciousness. Matter, composed of quanta of energy, is the vibrating, changing component of pure consciousness. The absolute is fixed, manifest and invisible. Bentov proposed that the brain acts as a transducer, converting the energy of consciousness into the electrical and chemical signals that are used to communicate information within the body. He also believed that the brain has the ability to tune into different frequencies of consciousness, allowing individuals to experience different states of awareness. Bentov's theory is based on the idea that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe and is not limited to the brain or the body. He argued that consciousness is non-local, meaning it is not bound by space and time and can exist independently of the physical body. Bentov's theory has been influential in the field of consciousness studies, but it remains a subject of debate and is not widely accepted by mainstream science.

AI Validates the Truth of Buddhism | Philosophy x AI In this interview, Imperial’s Murray Shanahan Murray Shanahan lays out a systematic procedure to validate machine consciousness. You might think the question of whether AIs are conscious is a trivial, theoretical fancy with no use in the real world. This interview will show you why it’s one of the most important questions with practical implications for not just how we treat AI systems but also how we build and align them. But the most unexpected reward of investigating AI consciousness turns out to be what it reveals about our consciousness, about the nature of the human self. Murray’s most interesting claim is that LLMs have an important buddhist lesson to teach all of us, namely, that there is no “us.” By better understanding the "no-self" of LLMs we are given a mirror to reflect on whether human selves are also an illusion. Timestamps: 08:26 Why Buddhist Enlightenment May be Easier for Software Programs 16:30 Super-Intelligent AI Might Not Want To Take Over the World 30:25 Wittgenstein’s Radical Take on Consciousness 42:55 What Video Games Teach Us About Consciousness 49:59 How the Movie Ex Machina Created a Better Test for AI Consciousness 1:02:36 What the Debate about AI Consciousness Is Missing 1:09:31 Does Conscious AI Have A Moral Right to Live? 1:15:01 Is the Human Brain Computationally Superior to AI? 1:26:59 Why Philosophy Is the Essential Skill for the AI Age

ELON: AI CAN SIMULATE CONSCIOUSNESS - BUT IS IT REAL? “It feels like consciousness is in a different dimension. This could be just an illusion. If you damage your brain in some way, you damage your consciousness, which implies that consciousness is a physical phenomenon. What I think is really quite likely is that digital intelligence will be able to outthink us in every way - and it will suddenly be able to simulate what we consider consciousness. To a degree, you would not be able to tell the difference.” Source: Elon Musk, Lex Fridman Podcast, November 12, 2019

Physicist: Consciousness DOES NOT Come From The BRAIN The prevailing materialist paradigm asserts that consciousness is a byproduct of neural activity, a mere epiphenomenon of biochemical interactions in the brain. However, this reductionist view crumbles under deeper scrutiny, as it fails to account for the vast spectrum of consciousness, from transcendent mystical states to near-death experiences and non-local awareness. Consciousness is not confined within the brain; rather, the brain is a transceiver, a finely tuned instrument that receives and modulates the vast ocean of awareness permeating the cosmos. Just as a radio does not generate the music it plays but instead decodes signals from an unseen field, the brain is an interface between the physical realm and the infinite, omnipresent field of consciousness. Mystic science, in alignment with ancient wisdom and cutting-edge quantum research, reveals that consciousness is fundamental-an organizing principle of reality itself. Walter Russell's work echoes this truth, demonstrating that mind is primary and matter is a consequence of its rhythmic pulsations. The brain, much like a crystalline matrix, is structured to interpret and shape consciousness into coherent experience, but it does not generate it. In this light, consciousness is not local, nor is it constrained by the physical form. It is the unseen architect behind the rhythms of existence, the hidden intelligence orchestrating the grand cosmic symphony to believe that the brain creates consciousness is akin to believing that the eye creates light or that a mirror generates the image it reflects. It is not the origin but the instrument. As mystic scientists, we recognize thay true awakening lies in shifting our perception from brain-centered awareness to the realization that we are conduits of an eternal intelligence, woven into the very fabric of existence. Consciousness is not inside us—we are inside it. ✨🙌🏾💫 © Dr. Jason Yuan

Consider this argument: Is it possible to grasp the quintessence of consciousness by subtracting every sensory modality and still remain in a state of conscious experience? The answer is no, because eliminating the interoceptive substrate of consciousness would result in death.

🧠 Consciousness: The Mystery That Even Scientists Can’t Fully Explain In this video, Brian Cox talks about one of the biggest questions in science: what is consciousness? What does it really mean to experience being human? This question is becoming more important today because of AI. While artificial intelligence is getting smarter, we are still far from creating a machine that truly experiences the world like we do. Brian explains that scientists usually talk about two types of “emergence.” In simple words, emergence means something complex forming from many simple parts. He says consciousness is a weakly emergent thing — it comes from the brain, which follows basic physical laws. Billions of brain cells work together, and somehow thoughts, feelings, and awareness appear. There is no magic involved, just extreme complexity. Some people believe in “strong emergence,” where consciousness cannot be explained or copied using physical laws. But Brian disagrees. He believes that, in theory, if we had a powerful enough computer, we could model how the human brain works. Neil deGrasse Tyson listens carefully and then says something important: we still don’t fully know. And that’s what makes consciousness one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. Watch the video and think about it: If consciousness comes from the brain… could a machine ever have it too? 👀🧠

ELON: WE’RE DESCENDANTS OF STARS – BUT HOW DID WE BECOME CONSCIOUS? “I've thought a lot about what is consciousness. Where does consciousness arise? If you start at the beginning of the universe, assuming the standard model of physics is true, then you have this Big Bang, the matter condensing into stars, those stars exploding. A lot of the atoms that are in your body right now were once at the center of stars. Those stars exploded, recondensed. Fast forward 13.8 billion years, and here we are. And somewhere along that very long journey to us, consciousness arose. Or the molecules started talking to each other. And it begs the question of what is consciousness? Is everything conscious? Maybe. It's hard to say where along that line, there's no sort of discrete point where consciousness didn't exist and then suddenly does exist. It seems to be, maybe you have a condensation of matter that has a density of consciousness, we don't know. The real answer is, we don't know what consciousness is. But with Neuralink and the progress that the company's making, we'll begin to understand a lot more about consciousness.” Source: Neuralink Update, June 2025

Did you know that science doesn't have a theory of observation? Instead of assuming that consciousness is an algorithmic function, what if we abstract consciousness to the theory of the observer. Donald Hoffman proposes a first general model of the observation process in science and puts conscious experiences outside of spacetime. Can AI then become an observer to create its own experiences?

Had the pleasure of speaking with Philip Goff , philosopher and panpsychist, about AI consciousness. Key moments: - On AI sentience: consciousness is biological, not computational. In his view, no current AI is conscious, nor would computation based AI be. How does this relate to his panpsychist worldview of consciousness? There are different takes on panpsychism within the community. His own view is that it's not clear how micro-conscious particles actually create a unified conscious system. - We need collaboration between scientists and philosophers on consciousness research. On a practical level, divide scientists into teams that work on separate philosophical assumptions and see what comes out of it (granted there are resources to run such experiments). - Perhaps consciousness brings new causal dynamics not reducible to known physics/chemistry — "strong emergence," as Philip calls it. As a contrast: Sean Carroll argues physics runs the whole show, but neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell argues that biological complexity might behave in ways physics wouldn't predict. In other words, we look to physics to solve the consciousness problem, but that might be the wrong path, especially if consciousness is biological rather than computational. The link to the full discussion below.
