  1. Hello Dear Friends, I'm here for the first time, I'm Polish so please forgive me if my English is imperfect, I'll do my best. What, have brought me here? Years of searching, asking questions about the nature of reality... Years of interest in mathematics and physics transformed into the interest of what is consciousness itself. All these explanations about its source in the brain haven't convinced me at all, as my deep interest in Kurt Godel's Incompleteness Theorem pointed out that process of conscious understanding, which is needed to exceed any formal theory in its explanation is itself infinite and thus conscious understanding as a process is also infinite. Therefore cannot be some computation within any limited system. But not only this. As a rock climber, have been practicing this form of outdoor activity for nearly 30 years now and for me, it's something far beyond sport constricted to grades and numbers. As an alpine legend Walter Bonatti once said; „The mountains are the mean, the human being is the end. The idea is to improve the human being, not to reach the top of the mountain”. How it's possible? Isn't it a strange loop? Climbers and mountaineers are among the most selfish people you can ever meet! But it's somehow possible. It's very rare, but happens when suddenly you are touched but something that you can't explain by words when you realize the immense beauty of the space that surrounds you, the path that brought you here into this surreal scenery, this thin line that ties you up with your partner or with rock directly when you climb alone... Anyway, it also happens, during music listening, some art admiring as well as on a dog walk in a nearby forest with my wife. But the most profound TOUCH I had had to this time in my life was in my teenage years when I had read Hymn to Love in the bible. All the times you’re deeply touched, sometimes you cry, although as the years go by crying is becoming more and more difficult expression to do. But then I couldn’t help crying like a baby... Never before or after NOTHING touched or hit me with that power. During the past year, I had done lots of research about the science at the cutting edge of that hard problem of consciousness. This time I knew, that the right explanation must come with this touch. But almost nothing like that hadn’t happened at all. Donald Hoffman with his approach in Case Against Reality came a little closer to me but then… I checked “Metaphysical impact of Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem by Actualized.org” and saw Leo for the first time, and thought: Oh my fucking God, this guy GOT IT!! He got the idea!!! Then I saw another one “Reality is a strange loop” – WOW. How brilliant Leo disassembled this completely irrational materialistic paradigm in science.. Just WOW! I started sending links to these episodes to my friends and family members that share the same interest with me. Most of them applauded? But then I watched Leo’s Outrages Experiments in Consciousness… For the second time, I was hit with even bigger power. The same stream of tears appeared on my face, the same deep but irregular breath in my lungs... I have started follow Leo’s immense work since then as this long and very hard process in me has been triggered. That’s why came here. Feel this is the right place, is a good place. I hope to ask You some questions, to share my experiences with You as You do to the worldwide community. Thank You All, Thanks Leo? Love & Peace my Friends
  2. I want to share with You what I've recently discovered. Many times, during meditation I have far glimpses that I cannot comprehend now. Not at this point, it simply won't work. And forcing myself to incorporate these glimpses, result in very strong ego backlashes. Many of Your topics are about the same issue. Nonduality is something so out of this world, that I'm simply not able to apply straight forward. Try to force Yourself now to fully accept that Your closest relatives as Your parents are not real. It's insane! This process of assimilation nonduality is very slow. It must be. It must take years or lives, I would say. I discovered that at this very early stage duality is good. It helps. When You start recognizing Your existence in every living being, first in Your relatives but afterward in everything that lives, You start providing good effortlessly because the good You deliver to others is the same good You give to Yourself immediately. The power that comes within is something very true and REAL. And this power You need to progress. Just keep on being good to the world, to Yourself. Practice good. You won't notice how powerful You become every single day. How You feel good:) How less distracted You are, more solid. That's the beginning of how You become Everybody. That's the beginning of assimilating nonduality. All rise, Her Majesty Reality is coming:) Surrender to all, don't give up:)
  3. Hello my Friend:) Try this: "Not very conscious" "He's lacking consciousness" "Is this a conscious thing to do?" "High consciousness" "Low consciousness" Not very true He's lacking love Is this a good thing to do? Higher perspective Low instincts Still a dogma?:)
  4. Hi Brother, I completely understand You. In this journey, the bigger ups the bigger downs. It happens all the time. Sometimes You have a, as I call it, a far glimpse but it's too much to comprehend right now. For now, it won't work. Watch those episodes of dangers of spiritual work and ego backlash. We still use a dual language and what is most important we think in dual language. And the further You reach, things become more and non-dual... They, of course, are non-dual all the time but that's the process that You gradually assimilate the non-duality in Your rate. And this rate as I see it in my case is with the speed of a turtle. Take a break if You need it. We're all on this ship to freedom. You'll be fine. After all, it's all good:) Love You Mate, The tiny, human piece of love flies to YOU:)
