A child’s sense of Self

Donna Thomas, PhD

This special video production documents an informal engagement between Essentia Foundation’s founder and chairman, Fred Matser, and school children from Belthorn, UK. Yet unbiased by our culture’s conventional views regarding the nature of reality, these children’s pre-intellectual, felt sense of self and other reflect age-old intuitions rooted in nature, which we disregard at our own peril. The video is an invitation to revisit rooms in the palace of our minds that we’ve left behind many, many years ago; rooms that contain forgotten treasures whose unspoiled authenticity is an antidote to many of modern life’s ills.

Federico Faggin

Physicist Federico Faggin is none other than the inventor of both the microprocessor and silicon gate technology, which spawned the explosive progress in computer technology we have witnessed over the past five decades. He is also probably the world’s most well rounded idealist alive. Mr. Faggin approaches idealism from both a deeply technical and a deeply personal, experiential perspective. In this interview, Essentia Foundation’s Natalia Vorontsova engages in an open, free-ranging, but very accessible conversation with Mr. Faggin.

The force that complexifies nature

Seeing | Ontology

Steve Taylor, PhD | 2022-01-16

A form of consciousness that pervades all nature impels physical structures to become more complex and, eventually, canalizes itself into our individual being. This is what Dr. Steve Taylor, from Leeds Beckett University, argues in his presentation during our 2021 ‘The Science of Consciousness‘ work conference. Late in 2021, we’ve also published a related piece by Dr. Taylor.
