The Limitless - Ep 3: What Is Reality? Guest on 6th September 2022 05:04:39 AM

***Frank Wolfe is leaning up against a kitchen island in the middle of a large kitchen that looks to be in someone's home but has put a lot of effort into making it professional grade. As Frank talks, the kitchen will slowly begin to change. From a kitchen to a den. From a den to a park outside. From a park to a library. From a library to a view of a major city from the observation deck of a skyscraper at night when the episode finishes.
"Hello! I'm Dr. Frank Wolfe, and I have one question for you. Are you Awake?"
"On today's installment of The Limitless, we're going to discuss a little bit about the concepts of reality, quantum loop gravity, time, and consciousness. Wait, we're going to what?? I know. We may not get to all of it. In fact, there's no way that we will, at least not in this episode. No. In fact, what we're really doing is trying to quickly get to a topic point that we will only just introduce in this episode. Consciousness is the only true reality. Welcome to The Limitless."
"Perception is reality. Perception is truth. Have you heard that before? I guarantee every marketing person, politician, and campaign manager have all heard it. They've all embraced it. Here's another one. Control the narrative. Flip the script. Divert the flow of information. Have you ever heard those? For most people, these ideas are terrifying, and for a few, it's empowering. Reality is what you make it. Belief and perception and observation seem to have a profound effect upon our environment.
Molecular biology would have you believe that everything you see and feel and touch and are. Your very bodies. Your friends and family. The device you're watching this on. The chair you're sitting on is all mostly air. No, not even air. But vacuum. Interstices. Liminal space. At best, it's all green screen and energetic framing that allows us to put in place what we expect and want to see. At worst, it's something more insidious than that. But wait...we'll get there.
Because, really, if that is spooky for you, it only gets worse. Quantum theory and Quantum Loop Gravity tell us that within the physics of the very small, in the wibbly wobbly world of waveforms and particles, everything breaks down. Matter and energy. Location. Even time falls into less than a glimmering memory. It all slips into the morass of potential. Where dreams and shadows reside, and the only thing that gives anything any shape or meaning at all....is Consciousness."
***Wolfe seems to phase out of reality, growing more and more transparent until he is completely gone at the end of the statement about consciousness, only to reappear about a foot to the left with a drink in his hand. The transition work is expertly done with an easy camera pan that makes it feel like he's been there all along, and it's the viewer who seems to have momentarily lost track of him.***
" Here's a few more for you. Fake it til you make it. Change your attitude. Reframe the situation. Change yourself and change the world. What do all of these phrases mean? Allow me to offer a suggestion. It means that the only thing that makes this reality worth anything at all is the ability to experience it. Awake. With Eyes Open. As we dig down deeper and deeper into the mechanics of reality, more and more, what science tells us is that all of it, as we currently see it? Is an illusion. So, let's talk about those mechanics for a few minutes."
***The video goes on to explain in layman's terms the concepts Quantum Mechanics, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Quantum Loop Gravity, and the prevailing theories on the nature of time. This is interspersed with sources cited, quotes given, and graphics and illustrations to back it all up.***
Wolfe comes back onto the screen. "Well, that was easy, right? Well, no not really. If you've got a headache right now, and you feel like your eyes are crossing, that's okay. You're not alone. If you start going onto the internet, you're going to find a lot of wild theories about all of this stuff. If you look through academic papers and popular science books, you will find a much different tale to be told. Absorb all of it. Read all of it. Listen to all of it. Why? Is it all real? Hell, no. Hell, yes. And....that's kind of the wibbly wobbly point. If we come back to the statement that consciousness is the only thing that makes reality valuable, or viable, or both...we ultimately come to the idea that consciousness is the only true reality.
What we see and feel and believe and experience is what reality is. Does that mean if you stop believing in the car that's coming to run you down, it will just pop out of existence? No, because everyone else around you believes in that car, including the person driving it. Including the laws of the universe. That, my friends, is a little something you may have heard on our other show, Shedding Light, called consensus. Am I saying that if we all believed at the same time that gravity didn't exist that we'd all just fly off the planet all at once? No. Gravity itself might be a little miffed, and anyone else out there who might be engaged in consciousness. For those of you who are religious, there's entirely higher level of consciousness at work that could be keeping the laws of the universe from being overturned. You can see how this quickly moves into the land of the Woo-Woo, but it's an important concept to consider."
"Consciousness matters. Your desires...matter. Your beliefs...matter. And that's how the world changes. Is this mystical? Scientific? Yes. No. Quantum theory and everyday life teaches us that most answers aren't just one thing, and any concept in existence can have more than one meaning and purpose. But if you can hope and believe in something better, so can your neighbor, your friend, your boss. Hope and ideas spread, and the more you spread your own vision of the future, your own expectations for something better, the better the chances that it will become real. You make it real. With your words. Your thoughts. Your deeds. You can believe it's something magical or something scientific, but as long as you believe in that spark within yourself and nurture that same spark within others...it can happen."
"So, what do you want the future to look like? What kind of a world do you want to see for yourself, for your family, your children? The Future is Limitless, because you are limitless. We are Limitless, and together, through hope and communication and understanding and science, because you know how much I love science, we can help humanity to realize their potential. To take our next step. To ascend to greater versions of us all."
Wolfe smiles into the camera, leaning back a little, his eyes gleaming with an easy delight. "As always, it's wonderful to speak with all of you again. I love doing this show, expanding our community, and making new friends along the way. Are you awake? Click all those buttons that keep the show going, and I'll see you soon on the next episode of The Limitless. Thanks, everyone. Goodnight."
