'God is in The Neurons' documents the research that has been the reason why Chiren Boumaaza, aka 'Athene', disappeared from his usual viral YouTube series for the past year. Known mainly for his record-setting World of Warcraft and online poker stunts and his extravagant character in his videos, Boumaaza had long been seen as a genius by some, a 'troll' by many and an incredibly capable gamer and entertainer by most.

 

Developments in neuroscience and sociology from the past decades have shed light on many aspects of human psychology that are only now beginning to be discussed in the fields of 'self-help' and self-development. While there is a lot of popular literature on the subject from authors that range from popular lifecoaches such as Tony Robbins to spiritual teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Chiren saw a huge lack of material that takes a purely scientific approach. 'God is in The Neurons' makes important correlations about mirror neurons, neuroplasticity, memory, social dynamics, evolution, altruism and identity.

Fantastic documentary. 'Athene' has shown a level of ingenuity in linking physics and neuroscience to philosopy. I found the video offered an incredibly fresh perspective on the greatest mystery of mankind - conciousness. I also feel quite strongly that a number of people have watched the video with little background knowledge, and therefore were unable to appreciate the ideas fully. Consequently they called it 'crap' or 'unoriginal'. When I first watched it my own background knowledge was fairly limited, and I realised my grasp of the theory was incomplete as a result. A year on, with a ton of reading in the field of philosophy/physics I found the results were incredible. You can really appreciate the scope that Athene is going for here, it's huge. Hope you read this buddy, because I really appreciate you sharing this.

This documentary was well-made, and it was inspiring to me when I watched it. Though, mixing the expectations of a theory of everything in the form of science and what is known in science to inspire self-development was not the best move, imho.

Is there another location I can download the 720p version from, now that MegaUpload is shut-down? I looked for torrents but none are being seeded. I have a 60Mb connection at home and I would be more than happy to start seeding a new torrent if I could get the original file.

My first post:

I can only quote Ben Graylight on February 10, 2011:

"The video editing, scripting, and storytelling exceed the quality of most of the "Science" shows on American television today.  I am completely blown away by the visual design and overall creative direction of the documentary.  Thank you for creating it an sharing it openly, and thank you for having the courage to visualize/verbalize your ideas in such an elaborate way."

 

You have an astounding talent.

Comment by Lev on April 26, 2011 at 6:20pm

amazing, all this info popped into my head before I watched this and i wrote a lot on all the discussed themes in the film. Then I watched the movie... in a awh, I didn't have to write as much coz its all here nice and neat..this is incredible, just amazing

 

Also after coming to a certain level of awareness, how do we deal with our world's current economy on a collective scale? How do we manage resources and lead sustainable lives, diminish export and import production etc..

Comment by Pt0Kaze13 on April 25, 2011 at 11:20pm
i thought it was total bullcrap when i watched it the first time, and im sure many of you thought the same. Now try watch it a couple more times
Comment by Kevin Kasiborski on April 25, 2011 at 7:19pm
This is the second time I've watched this film. And I'm sure more will follow.
Comment by Samuel Adam Alder on March 25, 2011 at 4:06pm

i think this sums it up quite well:

 

empedocles (ancient greek): God is a circle who's centre is everywhere, and circumference no where.

No joke!!! 0_o

Amazing that is all I can say...

Comment by Tor Hansson on March 17, 2011 at 8:15pm
Are there any chance to get this in another language, swedish? ^^ There are many difficult and complicated words which is used in the video
Comment by Michael Blott on March 9, 2011 at 8:11pm
Is there a transcript available?
Comment by Brett on March 5, 2011 at 4:50am
It says that when we are not self-observing, we are irrational. Whose to say that it is a labile memory that gives us the irrational behavior.

well... i have not yet watching the video, but, your text is amazing and makes me nosy =)
Comment by Monstilus on February 22, 2011 at 9:33pm

Just one question. If your theory is true then Memory continues after death...ever expanding. how do you explain that, even after the brain stops working?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Regards,

I have watched this video a couple of times now and there are a lot of questions / skepticisms I may have about specific concepts mentioned, but of one thing I am certain:

Being right

In a sense I want to blow up the words “right” and “wrong”.  I want to banish them from my vocabulary.More specifically I do not ever wish to BE right.And I do not ever want to say to someone else “you are WRONG”. What is the purpose of being or proving oneself to be, right? And what is the purpose of proving someone else is wrong?Apart from some sort of ego based sense of satisfaction what is the purpose of these things? Can anyone give me an answer to this question? If someone says something…See More
