One my all time favourite lectures. I find it intellectually compelling.
There are competing philosophical views of reality. Main contenders are: common sense, reductive materialism, radical empiricism, and idealism. The lecture will review these, and defend an idealist view – that matter is a projection of mind, and that mental, conscious being is the fundamental form of reality. This is one philosophical basis for belief in God.

Everything exist in Consciousness! Without Consciousness nothing is! Even the idea that things exist independently from Consciousness is only an idea that appears in Consciousness. If I learned anything from my exposure to Advaita Vedanta and Kashmir Saivism it would be that.

So it is a shared experience then? Because when you die one can assume that you are not conscious therefore do those “Things” cease to exist? If I died then would you cease to exist?

If you died, God forbid, your share of the experience would be divided among the 7 billion or so who are still living.
