Everything is Connected -- Here's How: | Tom Chi | TEDxTaipei

He has the capability to be a scientist and the sensibility to see through the material world.
We actually need these sort of scientists, those able to make a link between the materialism or science and the spiritual meaning of what they observe through their job.
They give the meaning, they see the “why” behind the observable matter.

I love when science and spirituality are bridged in such a wonderful way. Thank you for this talk

“Maybe the meaning of our lives are actually not within the scope of our understanding…”

I like how he puts it that way.

I love this. For someone going through an existential crisis, its comforting to be reminded that my person is contributing the universe on a grand scale by doing such simple things as breathing, by simply existing and giving away my energy to be used for a greater purpose.

Tom Chi's perspective on "everything in the universe being interconnected" not only allows us to better understand the universe surrounding us, but also transforms our relationships with each other and with the world. Through the stories of the heart, the breath, and the mind, he provides us with a new perspective on how we can shape our lives and society.

Moreover, I was mesmerized by Chi's stories explaining how iron from supernovas ends up in our blood, how cyanobacteria transformed Earth's atmosphere, and how human creativity expands the "Palette of Being". These stories remind us of how our actions and decisions can influence not just us, but the entire universe.

After watching this video, I feel more motivated to pay more attention to what is happening in the world and the direction of our lives. Indeed, understanding that everything is interconnected strengthens our ability to build our lives and societies in a more conscious and meaningful way. I encourage everyone who watches this video to discover how this perspective can make a difference in their own lives.

He spoke from heart.. what an awesome lecture. ❤️

"It turns out that the world of people is a lot harder to understand than the entire universe"
Amen to that, brother.

Very profound and beautiful. If more people could see and adopt this kind of worldview, realize how interconnected everything is and how much impact the everyday choices and actions of a single individual can have and how it creates a ripple effect, maybe we wouldn't live in such a sick and backwards society.


As one of the few creatures gifted with consciousness, self awareness, and the potential to do so much in our limited lifespan, we absolutely have an obligation and responsibility to leave this world better than it was.

As a person who is low in iron.. 16+ blood infusion… 30+ iron infusions.. it all makes sense.. I have been obsessing over energy and how we feed off everyone’s energy. This makes so much sense. Thank you for this!!!!!!!! We are connected. All my best to anyone who reads this comment .. you were brought to this page for a reason…. WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

I loved this talk! Tom has given me a profound understanding of "everything is connected" in a way I've never felt before. Thank you 🙏🏿

So inspiring! I wish it had a translation in Portuguese so that more people in Brazil could have access to this knowledge.

Anyone who can give more meaning to our lives both through science and spirituality could also help others who can’t find meaning and hope!

I cried... I think this is one of the most beautiful TED talks I´ve seen. He not only touches the intellectual and conceptual depth of our beings, he questions us about our self-love and acceptance as part of this universe <3

The interconnectedness of this entire universe does put everything into perspective.
You can't hide the fact we're so blessed, in a way, and we celebrate it by being grateful, by appreciating it.
What's inside us, once was forged inside stars.
The world is out there, but simultaenously is also right here, right inside any of us. Swirling, and swirling to keep us alive.

Tom had me mesmerized by the way here expressed all his philosophies and research info. Amazing video, definitely life-changing. 🧠👍🏽💫

I’ve listened to this talk many times. Its impact on me never dwindles. I really think this speech is also a cyanobacteria that contributes in a major way to the way that all sentient beings will live in the future. Thank you so much ❤

“The world of people is way harder to understand than the entire universe” kinda felt that on the soul

17:26 - "we need to challenge ourselves to understand what it means to live from this truth." - very powerful. you animate the principles by which you orient your perspective.

I love how he slows down at the end to choose his words wisely, he knows the value of the information he is giving and wants to make sure he it giving it justice

This is amazing. Thank you for taking something that is so complex and explaining it in such a transparent way.🙏
