He's describing how a spiritual experience of consciousness turned him away from physicalism to an idealist worldview. He starts talking about the experience at 5:10.
Thanks for pointing that out, Ian and thanks to Sci for sticking it up, I just love the way he describes consciousness there, brilliantly simple but brilliant nevertheless, IMHO.
"Consciousness is a magical property that cannot be defined with anything (that is) simpler than itself and that's why it must be fundamental. It cannot be a derivative from (of) matter that has none of these properties"
