Consciousness, Entanglement, and Life

In this video, A.H. Almaas briefly explains the theme of the 2014 Science and Nonduality Conference: Consciousness, Entanglement, and Life. Scroll down to view the video and summary of highlights.

Summary

Einstein first posited “quantum entanglement.” But Almaas questions this theory because it contradicts the limit of the speed of light. How is it that two particles, millions of light years from each other, can communicate instantaneously, regardless of the speed of light?  

All ancient wisdom teachings know reality is unity; everything is one. But there are deeper, subtler unities. The essence of reality has no time, no space, no size or shape. Yet it contains the whole universe. It is all time and space folded into a single point. 

It follows, then, that we are not united because we are of the same consciousness. We are those two particles and the particles themselves are the same thing. That has enormous implications for many things. The nature of love, for example: Why does love have such a gravitational force? Because we are actually one; there is no self. You can’t be in that total unity unless selflessness is there. Only then are we love and unity beyond time and space.
