This will help graze the surface of what reality is about:
Terence Mckenna – Culture is your operating system
I do not think consciousness is emergent from the functionality of the body, but all matter has a conscious field,like an electron has a electrical field,it is just not until a mechanism,ie,the body, becomes complex enough do we start to contemplate that consciousness..
When Anthony Peake speaks about the DMT trip his friend experience and the retelling of that man’s experience, it reminds me of the movie *The Thirteenth Floor*.
Also, when people experience something that was true or has been proven true, he or she will filter their memories and thinking regarding that experience, which I recently learned is termed as ‘confirmation bias’.
Edit: More over, I do believe everything is preprogrammed, because the word ‘thing’ literally derives from the word ‘think’! So truly, our human thinking in regards to logic and grammar are preprogrammed, due to many generations of human diminishing individual expression into mass cultural expressions, thus is the reason why I believe humans presume [or assume] an experience beyond our accustomed or daily perceptions seem prefabricated. However, this belief that nature is preprogrammed is a delusion from exclusionary people, who heavily rely on logical thinking to explain what is and isn’t. Nature is holoarchic and I give this example:
“Electrons, can move from one end of the galaxy to the other side instantly [heard this from Richard Feynman], meaning the universe is a whole living interconnected happening.”
The way a man or woman receives what he or she experiences, is how he or she shall come to believe what is true and false to their minds. Put tie two birds together, and both will not fly.
Thanks for the upload, Evita!
Hands down my favorite guest of yours! Anthony is so open minded about all possibilities that it’s impossible not to be fascinated by his words whether you believe in his ideas or not.
Another terrific interview ! You have some fantastic content and I’m a fan!!
Very Interesting Evita and welldone in material and super swirly vibrant enthusiasm , far better than watching a movie 🙂 believing the best gift bestowed to others comes by opening minds to movement shapes and undulations all around and positively make believe in yourself
music really, anyway
I do wish these sessions were in real time, ah mindfields indeed. Anthony thank you 🙂 for bringing me back for a moment at least
Best from Boston..

there’s no doubt that we “have” a body and that our bodies act. i think we run into trouble, if you will, or are confused because the body can’t perceive its own brain, yet the body knows it’s there. in other words, we know we “have” a brain, but we can’t perceive the brain itself. therefore, since we know something is there that we cannot perceive (the brain), we mistakenly misattribute to the body a nebulous entity (the person or the ghost in the machine) in place of the brain’s perceptual vacancy. what adds to the confusion, however, is that we can and do perceive entire worlds (the dream state, OBE, NDE, etc.) that cannot be located or said to have any material basis at all, even though the dream state appears to us in much the same way that the waking state appears us. i mean, how do we account for this drastic and sudden shift of perspective between the waking and dreaming states? and what are the implications of the difference and similarity between two states? the phenomenon of dreaming is ostensibly beyond actual understanding.
I think i’m in love
Consciousness, perception and thinking. A theory of mind according to platonic physics.
You will not find an explanation as understandable as this in the current Stanford Leibniz site,
which is incomplete as it makes no mention of Mind.
1. Plato’s Mind (the One, the Self) is the cause agent, the singular cybernetic control point, of all perception, thinking and doing in the universe, where control is top down from Mind.
2. Plato’s Mind is timeless and spaceless, and being the only Reality, time and space
are not ultimately real, but are artificial constructions.
3. Since Mind is mental, not physical, all control and causation is mental, not physical,
and top down, since Mind is the singular (cybernetic) control point at the top.
4. Thus Mind plays the brain like a violin, not the reverse.
5. Man’s mind (small m) is a passive mental subset, or monad, of Mind and under its control.
6. This monad (our mind) is the mental correspondent of the brain and controls it. Our mind
plays our brain like a violin.
7. Thinking is the intentional action of Mind (and thus mind) on mental entities such as ideas,
manipulating and transforming them intentionally (through will).
8. Qualia are simply sensory experiences, the conversion by Mind of sensory nerve signals into
mental sensory experiences in a fashion similar to the conversion of physical sensory nerve signals
into mental images.
9.. As Dennett has explained, In materialist thinking, there is no end to homunculi viewing the universe through a chain of homunculi. Leibniz terminates this infinite regress by making the last viewer the Self , which is at a higher level and suitably equipped.
10. Perception occurs as Mind converts physical sensory signals in the brain into mental experiences in one’s mind.
11. These experiences can be made conscious (are made aware) by reperceiving or thinking them.
This is called apperception by Leibniz. Thus consciousness is apperception.
12. The universe, according to Leibniz, is viewed directly by the One (the Self, the ONLY true perceiver), which views these scenes discretely and in sequence (analogous to snapshots) at discrete points as a whole indirectly through the totality of individual monads, and from their own perspectives.
13. This totality of sets of individual perceptions is then distributed in the proper order and perspective to each of the monads in the universe.
14. These individual sets are called “perceptions”, and must be distributied in this indirect fashion
by Mind because each monad, in order to remain an individual, has no “windows”, to use Leibniz’s term.
15. The perceptions are made up of what the monad would see of its nearby neighbors
if it were allowed to do so. This is purely mental, but allows us to speak in terms of
spacial distances and directions, through these snapshots, between physical bodies,
which Mind, being spaceless, cannot actually directly.
16. Mind is also timeless, so that time is physically “created” as an artifact through
the actual motions of physical bodies in physical spacetime.

17. Intelligence is the nonphysical ability to freely make autonomous choices. It is a faculty of
nonphysical Mind, the Nothing out of which the physical universe exploded in the Big Bang.
18. Another name for this nonphysical intelligence is “life.” Leibniz maintained that the entire
universe is alive.
19. Each monad is perpetual, created at the beginning of the universe and only annihilated by Mind.
20. Since monads can contain other monads, they can. as plants do through seeds, and humans do through sexual reproducxtion, produce subsequent generations.
21. A robot or computer has no Mind or Self which has the wide bandwidth, intelligence
and intentionality to actually perceive , think, or do things, such as Mind does. So, being without Mind, computers can have no actual intelligence or life.
22. The current theory of mind is materialist. In contrast to the above, it uses the usual decapitated,
mindless, or where mind is at best an abstract entity, not a living presence as in the above.
The materialist model of perception, thinking and doing, being Mindless, is dead.

So far, you can only understand consciousness through Leibniz
If anyone wants to understand consciousness, there is IMHO only one way,
that being through Plato-Leibniz, because only Plato has the universe’s singular
Perceiver, and perception must be from a singular point. So from the top
point, topdown, with nothing behind it, The One (Mind).
Continuing, Leibniz has what seems at first to be an overly complicated explanation of perception
and consciousness, but I go along with him because Leibniz’s universe is inside of Plato’s,
where all causation, including perception and consciousness, is topdown from the top (Mind
with a capital M). So our own minds (small m) are puppets of Mind (the One, capital M).
Thus Mind (the One, the singular point that is monarch of the universe) controls all
cybernetically.
Thus when we “see” something in our minds (small m), it is actually a report of what
Mind sees, the universe of other monads with their individual perceptions,
but from our own perspectives. The report is given to us as an ordered sequence, a series of
updates to our perceptions, of the universe of monads, since we ourselves, necessarily
being individuals, cannot see (monads are windowless) be directly influenced by our environment. And time is not
a variable in plato’s tmeless, spaceless Mind. Each update is like a separate frame of a movie
but like a movie we experience our perceptions as if continuous and from our own eyes.
Moreover, because of plato’s topdown, cybernetic causation by thought, our minds play our
brains like a violin, not the reverse. Dennett and others who view causation as bottom up
from the brain to mind, have got it backwards. Our minds play our brains like
a violin.
Accordingly, when (as caused by Mind) our brains, in perception send sensory nerve signals
from our senses, Mind (the only operator) converts these physical sensory signals
into mental experiences by perceving them and transmitting them back to our individual
minds in the above movie-like process.
These are called perceptions. But perceptions are only made conscious by our individual
minds indirectly reflecting on them, that is to say, by thinking them–intending them.
Leibniz called this action apperception. Apperception is awareness or consciousness.
Consciousness is thus experiences which are thought on.
Beware of trying to understand Leibniz from the Stanford site on Leibniz, which
refuses to include Mind (capital M) in its explanations of Leibniz..

Your interviews are just great and I like Anthony as well. I once told you to get Tom Campbell on your show again, and you actually had him on your show again. So I thought I’d just ask again since I see a chance here 🙂 Please consider it. Thanks once again for everything!
You are more than the body. You are more than the mind. Explore the nature of your #consciousness with Anthony Peake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAG1Ue_ODC8
#metaphysical #quantumphysics #spiritualgrowth
I enjoy nature, keep it onward!
Anthony Peake REALLY needs to try a psychedelic..maybe LSD or mushrooms….he seems mentally fit , very philosophical and just analytical enough…but I think he may just solidify many of his theories/assumptions and perhaps discover new phenomena that he hadnt thought of before if he indulged.
Scientific studies and official research in the field of Psychology have now proven beyond any doubt that human consciousness remains intact, even after the death of the body/cardiac arrest/zero electrical brain activity/etc.
Hospital studies in thousands of patients, with complete recording of clinical data demonstrated for the first time the existence of the indestructibility of “human consciousness,” or soul.
Religions of the world had this knowledge for Millennia.

are dreams experienced in the 4th dimension? or if dreams are “less real” is it a lower dimension? what does less real even mean?
I have the precognition with deja vu!! and all my senses are experiencing it! I’ve seen things minutes before they happened with witnesses.
I love this. It’s SO INTERESTING just recently I’ve been able to see into the spiritual realm.. when I soften my gaze I can see auras now and even beings that just look like teeny ripples of something that looks like heat waves. I thought I was loosing it but my cats and dogs can see them too! When I see the cat look into blank space I shift my focus and I’m see something there! ..It’s crazy haha
If the purpose is to revolve, what is the purpose of evolution?
Hi Evita. I don’t know if you still read the comments here. The last one was several months ago, but I just watched the video today, so I’m going to reply. 🙂 If you’re serious about exploring the other realms without the use of psychedelics, start with Michael Harner’s book, “The Way of the Shaman.” In it, he describes the use of sonic driving, (drumming) to achieve a different state of consciousness.
