One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness- Dr. Tony Nader

Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D., M.A.R.R., is a medical doctor trained at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Ph.D. in neuroscience) and Harvard University, and a globally recognized expert in consciousness. His bestselling book One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness (Random house/Penguin 2021) has received great praise as a book to solve the hard problem of consciousness and answer the deepest questions about life and living. While most other theories accept the naturalism of the physical sciences and at most regard consciousness as an additional property of the fundamental stuff along with matter, Dr. Nader proposes that there is nothing other than consciousness and that matter and the multiplicity of loci of consciousness, us, for one, are nothing but consciousness experiencing itself from limited perspectives that hide the true nature of both the observer and the observed. Others have come close to suggesting something similar but what elevates Dr. Nader’s solution is that he provides a carefully constructed and cogent model for how those limited perspectives in all their subjective richness emerge within the singularity of consciousness. That is new and in its level of detail the model goes beyond anything that has ever been proposed in western or eastern philosophy or empirical science. Having provided a model of consciousness as the most primordial field, Dr. Nader then shows how the model potentially solves enduring problems in other fields, including quantum field theory and the psychology of higher states of consciousness. The potential explanatory power of Dr. Nader’s monistic field theory of consciousness holds out the promise of enormous strides in our understanding of the nature of nature. Dr. Nader has been a guest of Harvard, Stanford, UK Parliament and has met with some of the greatest minds in philosophy, science, quantum physics, and mathematics.
