Mayim Bialik's Breakdown - Is Consciousness Outside of The Brain?! Physicist and Inventor of the Microprocessor, Federico Faggin, explains how Science and Spirituality are Merging In His Quantum Field Theory of Consciousness. His powerful awakened Revealed the Truth About Reality.

Episode Date: December 5, 2025

What happens when one of the greatest minds in modern technology has a spiritual awakening that shatters everything he thought he knew about reality? In this exclusive interview on Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Federico Faggin — legendary physicist-turned-inventor, creator of Silicon Gate Technology, father of the first commercial microprocessor at Intel, and early pioneer of AI — opens up like never before about the transformational experience that changed the entire direction of his life. Faggin reveals the moment a beam of pure love, peace, and joy radiated through him, showing him that consciousness—not matter—is the true foundation of reality. This awakening didn’t just shift his worldview…it reshaped his life’s work, his understanding of physics, and his mission to bridge science and spirituality. Federico Faggin breaks down: - How his spiritual awakening rewired his life & work - Why Consciousness & Free Will actually explain Quantum Physics (and not the other way around) - The 3 levels of reality, and why our spiritual reality is inseparable from the material one - Why humanity faces destructive consequences (like environmental collapse) when we’re out of alignment with true reality - How gravity itself is “proof of love” at the deepest level - How ego overidentification blinds us to the true nature of existence - Why the boundary between science & spirituality has already dissolved - How the next evolution of medicine will awaken a deeper understanding of oneness, consciousness, and free will - Why your personal happiness is ultimately up to you and no one else - His insights on the Afterlife, Collective Consciousness, and whether we’re living in a Simulation PLUS...Federico shares a special sneak peek at his groundbreaking new book! If you’ve ever wondered what consciousness really is, whether science can explain spirituality, or what happens after we die, this conversation will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about reality.

I had been pretending to be happy for a number of years, but I was not paying attention to my inner life. I woke up around midnight, incredible energy, it was coming out of my chest, and it was white scintillating light, and it was love, but also peace and joy. The peace I have never felt before, and my consciousness is everywhere.

That consciousness was not just in my body. We are a feel, we are not the body. I am a part whole of one, only quantum field. physics could explain what happened. Physicist Federico Fajin invented Silicon Gate technology and the microprocessor, the foundational breakthrough now powering all modern technology. His remarkable and spontaneous spiritual experience revealed the true nature of reality

and changed how quantum science is explaining consciousness and how the world really works. There is no longer a boundary between science and spirituality. Who I am was not at all or I thought I was. I thought that I was separate from the world. I was studying science, biology, trying to understand how things work. I realized that books were talking about electrical biochemical signals in the brain

as if that was our conscious experience that doesn't make any sense. For me to know myself, I need to know the others like myself. That's what cooperation is. And what is that allows us to cooperate? Love. Love is the taste.

of meaning. The next evolution in medicine would be for all of us to have a better collective understanding of this oneness and the deeper reality that consciousness and free will are providing so that even medicine could be affected by the ways that we approach the cellular systems. That was the problem that no scientist actually solved. Hi, I'm I am Biallic. And I'm Jonathan Cohen. And welcome to our breakdown. We've talked a lot about reality here and maybe reality is more than we can see. But today we have the opportunity to speak to one of the greatest technologically savvy, intellectually rigorous physicists who has changed the way we literally live our lives, meaning he created Silicon Gate technology in 1968. That's what

underlies all of modern computing. Why would we speak to this man about consciousness and reality? Because he had a remarkable, spontaneous, spiritual experience which allowed him to combine everything he knew about physics, neuroscience, biology, and computers to construct a theory of everything that explains literally. Not everything you experience, not everything you experience, not everything you think you know, everything that subserves everything that we experience. Federico Fajin is an Italian physicist turned inventor. His latest book, Irreducible, Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature is a fantastic journey about the oneness and the totality of our existence, as well as the significance of consciousness and free will

as fundamental components, not just of our existence, but the existence. of the universe. This is a fascinating conversation. We touch on health, our internal experience, the idea that we create our reality and how to shift it, the nature of happiness and what will actually bring us happiness as well as how the world can possibly change by better understanding that we were all interconnected and a part of the whole. And if you're watching this episode and you think there might be something wrong with your screen because you see smoke coming out of our ears. That's just our brains working really hard to grasp and understand this conversation and the implications it has for how we view reality and how we go about loving each other and loving ourselves

and how the role of love actually can change the entire world. Without further ado, we welcome from Italy, Federico Fajin to the Break it down. I wonder if you can tell us what is your mission, What do you think your purpose is before we get into how you got here? Obviously, my purpose is to do what I came here to do. And so then the next question is what did I came here to do? I think what I'm doing right now, I think is my purpose. You know, to have lived many lives in one life and to have reached a level of understanding that without the – I'm speaking about my fourth life now.

without the other three lives I could never have achieved. And the other three lives were quite full. My second life, my first life, of course, I born, raised, educated and first work experiences in Italy. Then I went to the U.S. My second life was as an inventor, both technology and products, and then managing the R&D of Intel at one point

and then decided to be an entrepreneur. So I started my own company, started several companies, and that developed different aspects of me. After having done all of that, I was unhappy. And so I didn't understand why should I be unhappy when I have achieved everything that I could possibly imagine to be happy. And I had all the reasons to be happy. And then I had an extraordinary experience of consciousness because I wanted to understand. and that changed my life. And so I'm on my fourth life after this extraordinary experience.

And I'm really now I know that I came here to do that. And I needed all the other lives in order to do that. So many people look for happiness in things and in titles and in accolades and in careers. what do you think was necessary about that journey? Do we all need to struggle? Like, does everyone have their own personal struggle? And at the end, there's a spiritual awakening waiting? I don't know if that is for everybody,

but certainly for me, it was I had to go through many struggles, but also I enjoyed every part of my life. So it wasn't like, oh, my God, you know, what am I going to do to do now? No, I've always followed my passion. But I was expecting, though, that after having achieved all of what I've achieved, you know, beautiful family, everybody healthy, you know, a beautiful career, famous, enough money that I didn't need to work, you know, all that kind of stuff that normally live in a beautiful place, like Silicon Valley, and on it goes, right?

I wasn't happy and I didn't know why. And of course, now I can tell you because I was living outside of me and not paying attention to my inner life. And I had completely neglected my interiority. But it took a while. Then I had to go through some struggles to actually figure out what was going on. And after 20 years of work, I realized that I actually ended living. many of the traumas when I grew up and so on so that those were out of the way.

And I achieve a high level of, you know, tranquility, if you want, just my mind is not busy. My mind is, you know, it's perfectly fine. And I don't have all these jumbles and stuff that goes on all the time that I had before. I was restless before. I didn't know that I was restless, but because I know that I was doing the right thing. But now I can tell you, I was, I never was where I was.

I was always somewhere else in my mind. I was, you know, my project, what I was going to do, you know, two weeks from now, tomorrow, a year from now, and on it goes, right? So now I'm just, I'm living my life and I'm living my life day to day as it happens. But I know that I am,

I am living exactly what I need to live. And that changed completely in my inner, my interiority is very tranquil, serene. A lot of the focus of our podcast and our interest is the intersection of science and spirituality. And one of the reasons we're so eager to talk to you is because your brain, right, is holding so much of what many would deem the materialist side. right? You have the ability to be rational. You're an inventor. I mean, you've changed the world with the technology that you created. And also, you have access to a completely other side that many people consider unable to be reconciled with this scientific rational side. I wonder if you can talk us through what the actual spiritual experience was that you had and how your rational mind

came to understand what was transforming inside of you? I had several, many, in fact, transformative experiences, but the first one was the most important because it revealed that who I am was not at all what I thought I was. I thought that I was separate from the world and I lived as a separate individual, even if I love many people, obviously my wife, my children, but still I'm separate.

I don't know if it was end of December or early January, but it was in the Christmas holidays of 1990. And it was after I had realized that I had been pretending to be happy for a number of years, but I wasn't happy. And I was studying neuroscience at that time. I was doing developing neural networks. My company was in that business, starting 1986, I was studying neuroscience, biology. I was trying to understand how things work.

And I realized that those books were talking about electrical signals, biochemical signals in the brain, as if that was our experience. They were describing, in essence, our conscious experience, by electrical signals and biochemical signals. So wait a second, that doesn't make any sense. Yes, there is something going on in the brain and clearly has to be connected with our experience,

but how can electrical signals in the brain be the taste of food or the smell of flowers or, you know, all the touch that I have when I touch something? That goes, you know, that is a transformation that has to go from. there to the feeling side, because I understand, not by seeing electrical signal, I understand by the sensations and feelings that, you know, Echalya that David Chalmers, as you probably know, later on, seven years later, wrote a book, you know, unconsciousness, he realized that that was

the problem that no scientists had actually solved. And so I actually discovered that on my own at that time because I was trying to understand what's going on, to understand how to make better computers that learn and so on and so forth. But I also realized that that was my problem. My inner problem was about that. I realized that consciousness must exist somehow, but I didn't know what it was. And consciousness was also what made me suffer,

and I didn't know that. So I had two good reasons to find out. personal reason and of course an intellectual reason because I wanted to understand as a physicist, I'm always trying to figure out things. And it was in that climate that one night

I woke up around midnight. I was thirsty, went to get a glass of water, went back to bed. And while I was trying to get back to sleep, a beam of light, it was a, you know, energy. But incredible energy.

was coming out of my chest, and it was white scintillating light, and it was love. It was me, because my consciousness was in this energy. I was also this thing that was coming out of me. How is that possible? Then this thing expands or blows up, covers all this space, this white light everywhere, and my consciousness is everywhere. So now I'm observing myself outside of my mind. myself because I realized that I am that consciousness.

But that consciousness was not just in my body, it was also outside of me. I want to hit pause here. Because most of us do not go about our lives and all of a sudden have a beam of light explode from the center of our chest and like go into the universe. It's not something normal that we experience. It's not normal, of course, right? You were not drunk. You were not slunk.

I didn't drink more than a glass of water than the night. Everything was fine. I was in my best form. I was skiing all days. So I was physically very, very active as well. I mean, you know, this is completely incomprehensible from any points of you. I never had anything like that.

I could not even have imagined possible. My Ambialx breakdown is supported by Superpower. We all know the things. feeling of leaving a doctor's office and kind of feeling like we didn't get anything out of the experience that was useful. Maybe they're like, you're fine. Drink more water. There's no real data. There's no game plan. This has happened to me many, many times, especially on the perimenopause journey. That's why we're fascinated by what superpower is doing. They send a licensed professional to your home or you can visit a nearby lab. One simple blood draw with over 100 biomarkers. That's

way more than you usually get. It unlocks a true understanding of your body. Their app has detailed information on heart, liver, thyroid hormones, metabolism, vitamin and mineral levels, even environmental toxins. From disease prevention to treating that annoying brain fog or simply optimizing your gym game, superpower is the most comprehensive and advanced system out there. I've been super tired of constantly guessing or just trying to read articles online about what to do for health. Superpower gives you an actionable health plan based on personal results. It's a real game changer. Plus, they have an on-demand clinician team to answer questions. Supplement or prescription suggestions can be directly bought through Superpower, so you don't have to go anywhere

else. They also have nutritional guidance, tips for lifestyle and behavioral adjustments. You even get your true biological age that you can track over time. Superpower used to cost $499. Right now, it's $199 for the full experience, which is much more affordable than anything else out there. Make this the year you stop guessing about your health with superpower. Superpower. Not only did superpower reduce their price to just $199, but for a limited time, our listeners get an additional $20 off with the code break. Head to superpower.com.

Besides the feeling of love, were you able to kind of step outside of the experience and say, what is going on? Or were you so immersed in the experience that you didn't have that perspective? I vosed the experience. While the experience was going on, I voiced the experience, clearly, right? While this was going on, this light was everywhere scintillating.

A thought forms in my mind. And the thought is, wow, this is this stuff of which everything is made. And by that, those were mental words. But before the mental words, there was a thought. And for the first time, there was a thought that was before it became words. This I realized later. But when I was doing it, it was like I was stunned because it was a thought. And then there were words.

You know, where normally before I was always thinking in words. So, you know, there were never thoughts that were without words. And in fact, it was only only with a lot of work that I did later that I could separate the thought before is verbalized, is reified in our mind, which is how it must be in consciousness before it is transforming to words, mental words, and then the thought that we normally think is the thought, which is already mental.

It took me years to actually, you know, meditation and so on, and then realizing what I was doing. So I'm now moving back many years forward, but back at this point, I realized that there was a distinction. There was a distinction between this flash of insight and then the world. They said, this is what everything is made of. Also, at that time, the feeling with energy was not only love, but also peace and joy.

They were mixed in. They were not separable. But the peace I have never felt before, peace was a new idea for. for me. Peace was, I am that. My restlessness was no longer there in that experience. You know, I, because my restlessness was the fact that I was never where I was. Now in this experience, I am that. This stuff is me because my, myself, the sense of self, my consciousness, was out there. So I was both the observer and the observed. That's another complete change of perspective.

As I was telling you before, I thought that I was separate from the world. Now, these experiences, I am the world observing myself. Big change of perspective. I am a part whole of one. Because I have the same character of one, I have the same potentiality of one, but I'm also a part of one. Just like a cell in my body is a very. part of the body because he has the genome of the entire body every cell that

contains the genome of the whole an organism of one of the one organism this case we are we are a part of the universe which you know we are a feel we are not the body so clearly you know the idea that I am before my consciousness the sense of myself was only in my head I was not even in my body was in my head. And now with this experience, it's everywhere, not only in my body, but also outside of my body. I mean, that's a change like this to this, right? Complete reversal of perspective that I had before. And the other thing is that my body was vibrating, you know, and it was hot. So every aspect of me was in the, was living this experience. This was a

lived experience. It's a lived way to know. You know because you experience all those things I can say now, but they were implicit in that experience, but it took years to unroll in a way that experience would probably last in a minute, maybe two, but no more. So this was just like a, you know, unbelievable flash, but it changed my life because it told me that, was, that what I thought I was, was not what I was, because the sense of truth of that experience was so strong that I could not compare to anything that had happened in my life before that was as true, as powerful. Consciousness is the one that allows you to know that. Is this an imagination? Is this a, you know, a fantasy or, you know, consciousness can actually tell you,

if that is true or not or close to the truth, then any other thing. All of us at one day or another, I had a dream that was so vivid that you thought, you were the dream, right? And you were, you truly existed in that dream. I had many dreams before of that nature, but even more later after this experience.

But, you know, where basically you wake up and for a second you thought you were actually, you know, this reality was the dream, not the other one. But this one was even stronger than that. And that's why he had the power to transform, it transformed my life. Otherwise, how could he have the power to transform my life? I would have doubted my own, you know, my own experience, right?

I would say, well, maybe I better, I better go see a psychiatrist here, see what it tells me, right? So it tells me what I feel. well, you know, we should be able to know what we feel ourselves. There's a few points here in your story that stand out for me. One is we hear a lot of people who have a drastic spiritual awakening, which sounds like this was for you, where they question it, right? They wonder, am I going crazy?

Am I making it up? What did I feel or not? And the difference between an imagination and a fully embodied experience is the vibrating of the body, the fact that it was fully immersive and that you are not just imagining something in a waking state or an imaginative state. You're not daydreaming. You're having a full visceral experience that is exceptionally powerful. Everything was going with it. There was a unity in the experience, a unity in the experience.

I am inside, outside, and body, mind, and spirit. The other thing that's fascinating and describes a lot of what is common in a way when you have a spiritual experience is realizing that thoughts exist before we're able to translate them. That information and ideas exist in this collective field that we're going to get into and we want the scientific explanation of how you think that exists. But that the universe, the world that we live in is made up of all of all of the scientific explanation of how you think that exists, but that the universe, the world that we live in is made up of all of of this information and simply our brains are the interpreters and the translators of that information into a language so that things can, for lack of a better word, exist all around us and yet they just can appear. And we have to figure out what does that mean? How do we communicate them? How do we translate that into something that's shareable? Yeah. Well, in the way I say it these days is

that meaning comes first. In other words, meaning comes before symbols. The symbols of are invented in order to carry meaning. But if there is no meaning, there shouldn't be any symbols, because the meaning comes first, come before symbols. In science, symbols have no meaning. The information is only the probability the symbols appear or not. That's it. It's no meaning to the symbols.

That's it. You know, now I can say it clearly at that time it was, you know, it was inherent in the, you know, it was inherent in the, experience, but to unpack that experience, it took me years, right? But also years to get to the source of understanding. Now, my theory actually can explain what happened. But before, this is the opposite of what scientism has been telling me. Not science with the capital S, but scientists and the ideas that we have about the world. What was it like for you after that minute, the next day, remembering that you had this

experience, were you able to go back to that state or was it something like a reminder that was it something in your in your memory that you were like, wait a second, that existed. So like I have to unpack it and understand it. How did it change your life in like the day the week after? Basically, it was very clear that there was a message from a deeper part of reality, which I couldn't know, but that that message had to be followed. It was very clear. And it was a personal message. Almost Naya would say my high self opening up the kimono and saying, look, man, this is what's real.

Then, you know, figure it out. So you were set out on a journey in that moment afterwards. Absolutely. I was set out on a journey. They started immediately, you know, within days. I mean, after I came back and, you know, obviously, you know, I was running a company, so on. But I think it was probably two weeks before later on that I found a person to go and begin the process. That was the, you know, process that lasted about 20 years that allowed me to arrive at the conclusion,

the consciousness and free will must go hand in end and they must be fundamental. They cannot be explained in any other way. When I got to that point, I said, now my next step is to join science and spirituality, figure out a way to combine because it was clear that only quantum physics could explain, if any, what happened. But now actually, you know, I have arrived to the point where I said we have to start there. And the fact that we are conscious and have free will can explain why the world has to manifest itself as quantum physics. You see, it's a complete reversal again.

For many years, I was trying to explain conscience and free will. Quantum physics says this quantum physics was more fundamental than conscious and free will. and say, no, conscience and free will are the fundamental ontology, and quantum physics is the way, the manifestation of that ontology that then begets certain mathematical properties, which are really maps of a territory, but the territory is consciousness and free will, these fields that have this property, that communicate with each other, entities, but they are not entities in space and time. The entities in a deeper reality that control bodies which are in what we collectively call space time,

which is a constructor that we made because we have similar bodies, similar ways of thinking, similar culture and so on. But the deeper reality is a reality that has entities that want to know themselves. And through those entities knowing themselves, one, the totality of what exists, knows itself. Well, yeah, and in irreducible, you kind of take us through all of these paths. Yes, but a new book actually goes the next step, which is because that book still wanted to explain consciousness and say in free will with mathematics, with quantum physics. And then it was only writing my third book that I realized one day, I said, oh, I'm stupid. Yeah, this is, you know, I have to turn it around. I cannot explain consciousness.

We have to start there. That's ontology. And then the math is, which is quantum physics, is really math. The only ontology of quantum physics is the quantum fields are ontological. That's it. And you start there. With quantum physics, you start with the quantum fields and the ontology is there. But that ontology does not contain consciousness and free will.

And so you only describe the outer aspect of the other. This level of depth, though, I think, is one that we want to spend a little bit of time in. So consciousness, you say, is the ability to experience qualia, right? To experience the qualities of the things that we kind of identify and experience and to know the meaning of the experience. That's exactly right. That's the deeper thing of qualia. Qualia are just like symbols are bringers of experience.

qualia. Qualia are the bringers of meaning of the experience, and that's a deeper aspect. So there's things that we experience, then there's the meaning that we draw from them. But what we're now talking about is what does it mean to say that the universe was alive and conscious from its outset? Because this is something that you talk about, that consciousness is a quantum property of a field and not the property of the states of the field. Can you explain kind of how this works into our understanding of the difference between meaning and sort of a larger oneness of meaning?

First of all, there is one, right? One is the totality of what exists. And one described by quantum physics as two fundamental properties is dynamic, meaning is never the same, keeps on changing, never the same. But we all experience that. And second, is holistic. That took a while because olism comes from a property called entanglement that exists only in quantum physics. Particles, when particles interact, they get into joint states, that information that is created in that interaction, independent of distance afterwards. And that is, you know, nobody can explain how that can happen.

But what it means is that everything is interconnected. The universe is not made of separable parts. Not only that, but the particles, what we imagine, we have imagined as little ball. When you measure them, you measure me in one point, you think is a point particle. They are states of fields. They are not separable from the field.

They are states of the field, like waves of a sea. The wave of the sea are states of the sea. But if we don't see the sea, we only see the wave, we think that the wave is separate from the sea. That's a little bit to understand what we thought about an electron. An electron is a wave in the sea, which is the field of electrons. Only when it is an excited state of the field, because it can exist, that electron can exist as a non-excited state of the field, and it still exists, but it's inside the state of the field, it still exists, but it's inside the field. It's inside the water.

We don't know. We cannot tell anything about it. The reality is just not even close to the reality that is revealed to us in the physical space and time, where there are microscopic objects and the microscopic objects are separate from each other. And also the world of computers, the world of computer, the bit of the computer is separate from the other bit. There is nothing. The bits don't have anything in common with the other bits. Okay? So we create numbers with those bits, but each bit is independent and has to have only two states, zero or one. So we use physics to create this logical thing that we have invented, because we have

invented the bits. The bits are not in the computer. If you open up the computer and say, do you see bits moving around? And there are not bits moving around. There are signals, moving around, but those signals are structured in such a way that they carry distinguishable states that you then can use to do whatever we do with the computers. But those states are not the same states like an electron is to the field. Those bits are our creation that is imposed on matter and it works until matter is deterministic, behaves with unpredictable ways. If you raise the temperature of the computer too much,

the computer that stops working because the depth distinction that we have put into matter can no longer be maintained. So it's in our construction, it's a construction of consciousness. It's not a construction in the computer. The computer doesn't know anything about bits. You see the subtlety here because we think the reality is made in a certain way,

but in fact we are imposing a certain type of distinction, that there are mental distinctions and conscious distinctions, then we attribute to reality. Probabilities, for example, can only happen if you are conscious, because only a conscious being wants to predict what will happen in the future, especially in a reality like the classical reality, which is deterministic. In a deterministic reality, there are no probabilities, there are only certainties. The probability are a lack of knowing about something that if we knew, we could predict the future.

And therefore, there would be no probability. We would predict exactly what will happen. So probabilities already include the existence of consciousness in the definition. Quantum physics is all about probabilities. It's not about physical variables. It's all about probability. When you talk about reality, and obviously this is a concept you can talk about conceptually,

but I'd like you as a physicist to explain to us what you mean when you say reality is not what we think it is. And you can go as micro or as macro as you'd like. And I think the beauty of what you talk about is that it includes the micro in the macro and the macro in the micro. The fundamental reality is the reality of our inner experience. And yet that inner experience is not separate from the material or the mental aspect. That inner experience is part of what we call spirit, the spiritual reality.

In reality, there are three aspects of reality which are intertwined. there cannot be separated. The material, which is the body, the mental, which is actually the prediction of what might happen in the future. That's what actually quantum physics does. It gives you probabilities.

But then it's the spiritual nature that has the experience of their reality and also the free will decisions that by knowing the probabilities, they pick whatever they want. Wait for a will. So we construct the future by the collective decisions that we fields, not we bodies, we fields, make. In other words, the deeper reality is the reality of meaning and experience.

That's the deep end free will and the self-knowing that we get out of it and the love, the aspect in which all those three aspects are superimposed. They exist together. The body is like red. The mind is like, you know, a blue, a green, green, and the spirit is like blue, right? When they combine together, they create white, the white light, right? So the three together.

But where you have red and green, that superposition is quantum and classical, a type of information, which is the one that would describe living systems. A cell works with the principles of quantum physics and classical physics. Computer works with only the principle of classical physics. That's the body, the center of the body is that type. The center of the quantum reality is actually the quantum state which actually allow you to predict possibilities in the future, which then the spirit decides.

And the center of the spirit is the meaning of the information where the mind and the spirit overlap, there is qualia, the experience. And that experience can be described with a quantum state of a field. But that description is not a description of the experience. It's only a map. The territory is the experience. The map is just a quantum state, which is a vector in Hilbert space, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But that is a map.

Right. And our limitation is that we identify our ego. We identify with our body. So the reality that we have and that we construct the world with is, well, I see this. I touch that. This is my job. This is my political party. This is the color of my skin. This is my religion. This is reality. This is who I am. But what you have said is that that way of thinking and that over-identification of the ego with basically our sensory system, right? You said that it can lead us to. to censor the parts of ourselves that actually give us the true reality of what we can perceive from the body, the mind, and the spirit. Is this the seity, which is spelled like deity, but it has an S? Yeah, the seity is this feel with these properties. You see, so consciousness cannot be seen as an entity. Consciousness is a property of a seity. and satiety, I use the word saity because the quantum field, which is the quantum aspect of their reality,

is only a portion of that reality, which is the only portion that physics recognize, which then is describing quantum states with all the equations and blah, blah, blah. But that portion has eliminated the deeper aspects, which are the body and the body, and the most important, the spiritual aspect, which are the fact that we have experience and the fact that from the experience we get meaning. We get self-knowing. The meaning is the essence of the self-knowing.

One of the most practical applications of your spiritual experience and this really approach to understanding reality is you talk about how the destruction of the environment is one example of us not being in alignment with how the sum of the parts, right, are bigger than the whole, that the notion of a continuous cooperation as a species is actually consistent. And obviously, there's so many, the politicization of climate change is a ridiculous conversation that we don't need to get into.

But the notion of what does it mean not just to be in alignment with yourself, which we're very good at in capitalist Western societies. But what does it mean to be in alignment with not only those around us, but with the species as a whole? Can you talk about how this understanding, I mean, I literally quoted this. You said that when our rationality is uniquely informed by the principles of materialism, reductionism, and survival of the fittest, it can only lead to an unbridled competition, racism, and war. So you talk about. So you talk about it. You talk about. You talk about this kind of competition and racism, war, and the environment as consequences of what happens as a species when we are not aligned with true reality.

Yeah, because the true reality starts with what is the purpose of one. Of course, you can say, well, who can tell the purpose of one? Of course, I cannot tell the purpose of one, but by looking at the deepest aspect of ourselves, we can infer that one wants to do exactly what we want, which is to know itself. We want to know what we are. We are here. I mean, the deepest aspects of human beings is we want to understand who we are.

Knowing yourself, you know, is in, you know, the temple of Apollo, you know, in Delphi, you know, is in the history of humanity, but even before, know, the Vedas talk about this same principle. So I start with that principle. I start one, the totality of what exists is dynamic holistic, and before I didn't finish, and I put one third condition on one. One wants to know itself.

So the wanting to know itself, the wanting is what then reflects into our will, our free will, because we also want to know ourselves, but we had to have the will, to do that, any capacity to do that. And to know itself, one must be conscious. So conscious is a necessity of the fundamental principle, which I consider a postulate, you know, you have to believe it or not, because you cannot prove it. But then from there, you can see that quantum physics emerges

naturally from those properties. That's a really important point that so many of us think of quantum physics and all of these like subjects that not everybody understands as something outside of us when the fact is it's just the attempt to articulate a deeper reality that the mystics have known for thousands of years you experienced at midnight outside of Lake Tahoe which no one knows why but i think that that is the thing that also people who have psychedelic or transcendental experiences they describe a very, very similar explanation of our purpose here. People who have near-death experiences, who leave this realm and have experiences of consciousness

that also include 360-degree vision, which isn't even a thing unless you remove your consciousness from the body that it's in. So the fact that we're seeing all of these things align, you give it such validity because you are a man of science. You are a person who has invented the things that structure the way we understand. a biologically mechanical world.

And yet, you have this insight to be able to say, guess what? There's something that you can't even see or touch. You can feel it, but not with your senses. It's something deeper that very few will touch. But our purpose here is to keep looking for it. Science is about knowing, right? So, you know, why is so important science? because it is, you know, it is knowing what is outside.

But science today has forgotten there is also an interiority. There is an insight. In fact, scientism erase the inside. There is nothing there. We are only a machine, right? If we are just a machine, there is only outside. There is nothing inside. That is the fundamental problem.

But if you start with one dynamical list, it wants to know itself, And when one knows itself, it creates a feel. It creates what he knows. Because knowing and existing are two words for the same thing. When one knows itself, you bring into existence what it knows. And so knowing is existence. Ontology is in the knowing, in the meaning, in the interiority. That's the point.

And then we fields, you know, then there are fields. You know, then there are fields, fields of fields, blah, blah, blah. You know, it's a complicated world. But the point is that for me to know myself, I need to know the others like myself. That's what cooperation is. I cannot know the others like myself if I don't cooperate. And what is that allows us to cooperate? Love.

Love. And what is love? Love is the taste of meaning. Love. from the inside is the taste of me. The more meaning, the more taste. The 10,000 more powerful love that I ever tasted was the meaning of me experience in Tahoe.

That was me, my meaning, incredible love. That's me. You sound like a deadhead. You sound like someone who wants to travel the world just spreading love in good times. But the point. But from the outside, what is love? From the outside, love is a full.

force, a force that brings into resonance the interiorities of our fields. That is not classical resonance. It's not pendulums that oscillate in synchrony. It is the inner state, which is the meaning, that meaning becomes the same meaning. And it is love that brings the meaning to be the same in the various fields as a force. What is the equivalent from the seen by the physicists? I don't know, but I suspect possibility gravitational force. Why?

Because the gravitational force is the only universal force and is only attractive. It's only attractive. And it is the smallest force. But that smallest force can create stars out of which we create the nucleons which cannot be created into in any other way. We're going to hit pause here on our conversation with Fadrico Fijin.

There is so much more in part two and so much that we cannot wait for you to hear. So make sure you tune into the second part of our conversation with Fadriko, where we talk about how love fits into a world that is ruled by capitalism. We talk about the boundaries between science and spirit. and how he thinks there does not need to be any boundaries. He's also going to talk about how happiness literally depends on you and your ability to understand not only your inner world, but your outer world as well.

And we do a really, really fun kind of cycling through so many concepts that we talk about here on the podcast. Collective consciousness, what happens when we die, simulation theory, virtual reality. He says we're in a game we created. We can't wait for you to hear what he means. We also cover the next evolution. of medicine and how it's related to consciousness.

We can't wait for you to hear part two of this episode. From our breakdown to the one we hope you never have, we'll see you next time. It's Myambiolics Breakdown. She's going to break it down for you. She's got a neuroscience PhD or two. One fiction. And now she's going to break down. So break it down.
