  1. I have found these words of Bruce very true and powerful:
  2. Do Your best and let things be. Then, both defeat and success are just a momentary fluctuation that doesn't really matter. They are both equally important part of life, but as You expands Your perspective their meaning becomes less and less significant. "Up and down, and in the end it's only round and round" pink floyd, dark side of the moon All the best to You, my Friend

  4. And I'll probably be blind in the next life. To learn humility. I apologize to anyone with physical blindness.
  5. I thought about this post for a long time. And I came to the conclusion that whatever I wrote, it would always be too little, not entirely clear, and maybe it would be best if this text would inspire you to… well, Looking But from the beginning. I have been attracted to physics and mathematics since I was a child, and although I literally do not deal with any of these fields professionally, I still love them. Especially that the last, over 100 years, has been the discovery by outstanding practitioners of these sciences of laws and truths of nature, the implications of which most of us, including academia, do not see, do not want to see, do not understand, do not want to understand or do not accept. The problem is both in our nature and in the education system, which has its roots in it and at the same time strengthens it. Such a strange loop. Quite simply, Newtonian physics with its Enlightenment determinism is taken as the basis for teaching physics in primary and secondary schools. The same is true of biology, where equally deterministic Darwinism reigns supreme. But as we know it is already passe. The last 100 years of physics, mathematics, and recently also biology (sic!) have been discovering laws and truths that less and less often fit into the description of the reality we like so much, fully reducible, predictable, over which we will one day achieve complete control. General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and Kurt Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, and the last Big Bell Test blew up irretrievably our dreams of power. So to the point. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by light. When I was little, at night, when I was camping, I was sending the light from my flashlight into the sky, towards some star and I asked my dad when it would get there. The mere awareness that, while observing the night sky, I am looking at the past of the stars and a different past, different in time, amazed me and amazed me to this day. There the Past and here the Now. When studying the General Theory of Relativity, one gets the impression of the striking scale of this relativity. The relativity of time, the relativity of space. For time to exist, it is necessary to project energy into the lower energy states as matter having mass. Each particle with a mass is a kind of watch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave_clock). The only "particle" without a rest mass is a photon. The photon, of course, is a very imaginary particle. It is actually the smallest possible quantum of energy. Paradoxically, string physicists to be able to physically examine a string (if it actually exists) that is 10ˉ³³m in size, the so-called Planck size, would have to generate energy in accelerators close to the Planck energy of 10¹ꝰ GeV, ie close to the energy of the Big Bang. Meanwhile, there is no point in talking about the size of the photon. It is a dimensionless, massless point, energy in its purest form. Yet, it's here:) Light and its medium played a leading role in Einstein's idea from the very beginning. It was just thinking about the motion of the light wave that young Albert had found a trail leading him to open a new chapter in physics. I am interested in the perspective of the photon itself. Imagine that we are not dealing with a simple, soulless particle, but with a being that can share its impressions with the world. What will a being, chasing at speed c, see and measure? At this point, you need to refresh yourself on two basic concepts related to the special theory of relativity. The first is time dilation. It means that two observers moving in relation to each other will feel the passage of time differently. The proton accelerated in the tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider "ages" much slower than the physicists watching it. This phenomenon has an important practical aspect. Many elementary particles normally decay after a millionth of a second: due to time dilation, from our perspective, their lifespan is extended many times. The second keyword is a contraction, i.e. shortening the distance. The summoned proton will perceive the accelerator path as much shorter than the scientist standing next to it. Although designers can cut off both hands, the device is 27 kilometers long, for an object approaching the speed of light it will become shorter and shorter. Now that we know how relative the concepts of time and space turn out to be, let's go back to the photon. It's a bit counterintuitive, but between the 99.99999…% c that massive particles achieve in accelerators and the full speed of light available to a photon, there's a colossal difference. If we put a watch on a proton from the accelerator and watched its indications, we would see the effect of dilatation - the hands would move slower than on the clock on the wall. The closer to c, the greater the difference in measurement. However, a proton has mass, so there is no force in the world that can accelerate it to the speed of light. So what would a time from an analogous watch "worn" by a photon look like? This is probably not a particularly demanding conundrum. At 100% the speed of light, time… stops. Logic suggests that since approaching 300,000 km / s causes the clocks to slow down, reaching the limit will slow it down completely. In the eyes of an outside observer, the photon remains an object frozen in time. The second hand of his imaginary watch would not even twitch. As for contraction, we come to a no less fascinating conclusion. Since acceleration shortens the space accordingly, then reaching the full speed of light should reduce the distance traveled to ... zero. When you turn on the flashlight and aim at the opposite wall standing 5 meters from you, it does not cover any distance from the point of view of the light beam. Let's not be so modest! Even a photon emitted by a quasar 10 billion light-years away sees this monstrous distance as non-existent. From its point of view, the journey to Earth would not take even a second. If the massless particle could tell us the story of its traveler, we would probably not hear anything special. In any case, we would have a hard time understanding its relationship. The beam of light perceives all available space as compressed to zero. The moment of take-off de facto coincides with the moment of reaching the destination. Time does not exist for a photon, so it travels instantly between any points. At the same time, space remains infinitely contracted for it. Both points "lie" on each other, so the journey may not take time anyway. Contraction and time dilation merge into a relativistic whole. Now think of the primordial photon born in the first gamma-ray burst, right after the big bang. Amazing as it is, from our perspective it hasn't aged a second. In turn for him, the entire history of the universe seems to be accumulated at one point. Nothing has ever happened and all that was, is, and will be, happening NOW. And now for the best. I'm sitting in the car park. I still have half an hour to meet the client. I look at the play of light, shade, and colors of the city houses and trees surrounding me. I think about the physics of the surrounding reality. The last Big Bell Test confirmed HIGHLY that for so-called local realism to exist, conscious observation, a conscious act of creating this realism, is necessary. As one of the main researchers, Carlos Abellán of ICFO explains: "Thanks to extraordinary machines, physical systems built to test the laws of physics, we know that there are gravitational waves and the Higgs boson. But the question about local realism cannot be answered with the help of a machine. That we ourselves must be part of the experiment for the universe to remain. " Scientifically, we also slowly come to what mystics discovered thousands of years ago. It's just a roundabout and with great hesitation, I think to myself. And suddenly a flash. This eternal photon, from the perspective of which I do not exist, is absorbed by the receptors in my eye, it reaches the visual cortex of my avatar, which creates a unique probabilistic version of my reality. My Dream. I sit in the car and look at It. My Dream. It pushes me into the car seat. When I get home, I open Word editor on my computer and start writing my memories in the present continuous tense. The past comes alive. I keep writing over the next few days and thus reach very small details of my distant past. The story continues. It never started. Everything happens NOW. It is a story of Consciousness written with a Photon.
  6. As always, I have to add something else. This insight is available to anyone at any time. With a little reflection and understanding of what's going on here, you'll understand that every time You look you are looking at Your Dream REALLY
  7. I don't know Leo personally. I first saw his YouTube video while browsing videos on Kurt Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. And I was flabbergasted by his in-depth understanding of the subject. I asked myself: who is this guy? I started watching the contents of the Actualized channel and I thought again: where did He come from? From outer space? The scale of his understanding of the nature of reality is indeed extremely rare. Then I found Outrages Experiments in Consciousness, Self - Love and was struck. But I already knew this feeling in my life. This is how I found this forum. For the first time, I felt a strong will to finally embark on this journey. As for Leo ... I don't know him. I am some guy from Poland thousands of kilometers away and that's it. But I know he is a brave man. Much braver than me. As you begin this slow awakening process, believe it, the ego does absolutely everything, uses all the tricks, uses all criticism and excuses to yourself. That is why it is so difficult to start incorporating the Truth into your life. To go out with this Truth, to people, to the world, is to expose yourself to any possible fire from every direction. It's fucking hard, it must be painful, and it's very brave. I admire Leo. He radiates good. I wish Him and all of You such courage to follow your paths towards this one goal, which is Truth and Love. Keep on going, Leo
  8. And even harder to accept it
  9. A beautiful story as the man behind it. It's not the end. It's just the beginning:) God bless You, lots of Love my Friend:)
  10. The process of conscious understanding has finally taken off for good and is doing well. I collect whips, but no one promised it would be easy. Take care, my Friend:)
  11. The funniest thing is that God is interviewing you constantly. Listen to the silence carefully. It's calling You:)
  12. I do not consider myself to be someone whose judgment of anything or anyone has any basis whatsoever. Not any more. Though surely, I will come to it more than once. So strongly judging and comparing is built into my ego ...
  13. @Loving Radiance absolutely agree
  14. Ok still... But again, words. More words. Never-ending attempt to explain infinite stuff within a finite system. Seems it's really hard to understand what Kurt Godel had discovered.
  15. The real question is what am I going to do with them
  16. Ok. But these are just words.
  17. Few paraphrases and quotes to add... "my visions about reality prove that I have a big imagination. But not big enough. Reality is much more simple" "who am I to even think I may know the difference between Good and Evil?" "I don't see what it is. I see what I want to see" "pleasure - it's a difficult word to define" "when God is just a story, one of many, a lie, an illusion, I abandon Him" "God is the answer to all questions" "Self - Love is the Highest Teaching in the Universe"
  18. The last few days have been very hard for me, but everyone has their own way. It is enough just not to search for others. My way, Your way ... Each is equally important. Each one is different from all the rest. I have long felt that I want to understand my actions. Perhaps because I was once strongly associated with Christian ideals, somewhere in the depths I hear a voice that speaks to me through these ideals and the symbol of the cross most clearly. Only now do I begin to understand what he is saying. Someone once "broke the bonds, lose the chains, carried the cross and all my shame" ... This Manifestation is for me ... "Despair and deception pretend to be ugly twins of Love, I let them in. Now that I know that I am my own punishment for all my former sins, I let Love in. " I finally began to understand what confession is. I started it and it immediately crushed me so that I was unable to get up ... I started asking God for support because I knew and I know that I would not be able to handle it. And He / She / It came ... And in fact, it was /is /will be here with me all the time. He does not give absolution or excuses ... He immerses you in such deep Ocean of Love, Acceptance, Understanding, and Forgiveness that, as Leo said, it almost literally "kills" you ... Understanding is constant overworking yourself, it is a constant confession in this Ocean. No one else will do it for me. I have to lift my cross, all my shame, and carry it to the end ... Understanding and overworking my suffering has the deepest sense at this stage because it is the way to Acceptance. Each escape from this very difficult and painful process will solve exactly nothing. I still picking pieces of myself off the floor...
  19. Watch from 1.56.00 to the end. The core of confession... for me.
  20. Once I heard COVID saying something like: hey, mankind, stop running, start breathing...
  21. I also strongly believe that the real change will start with us, the little ones. Not from governments or corporations, but from slowly growing grassroots collective aid based on awakening Understanding. We do it here in Poznań where I run my business, these covid days. Small entrepreneurs are slowly beginning to understand that they can, de facto, only count on themselves. Where understanding and compassion overcome selfishness, real miracles happen. The rest, even the most skeptical ones, begin to see that it is easier together. At every level. Because good really works! And even if we are fucked on a global scale, nothing better is left to do in the time we have left, but to do good, ignite understanding in others. Believe me, it gives you such a positive kick that you know that nothing is impossible:)
  22. So the keyword is evolution. You could say that everything has been said. From our low perspective, the biological, material, as it is with us, thousands of years of our evolution have been summarized by the aforementioned Yuval Noah Harari in his very good book "Sapiens - From Animals to Gods". It's hard to disagree with him. There you can add Aliens as a factor to speed things up if someone is more comfortable with it. It doesn't really matter. Everyone can see the result. Mystics have long looked from a broader perspective. It is enough to reach for their wisdom. If someone needs a compact compilation, I have no hesitation in saying that Leo Gura synthesizes the "broader perspective" remarkably coherently in the way Harari does it in his book. This is how I see it. If someone thinks I'm licking Leo by comparing him to Yuval, that's too bad. But that's how I see it. In sum. We know everything. From a broader, nondual perspective, this reality is just a hallucination, a hologram, so there's nothing to worry about. Everything will be fine in the end. If it doesn't, it's not over yet. It smells of optimism, which is hard not to get infected But it does not solve the problem at all. This "low" reality of ours, whatever one might say about it, is what we have. We have no other. It is, of course, a component of a much larger picture, but of extremely important importance. This is ours, kindergarten, our elementary school, or as Thomas Campbell (creator of Big TOE) says, a low entropy trainer for our consciousness. He called as he called. These are just words in the end. But if we don't get down to work on ourselves, the hallucination will soon turn into a nightmare. It has happened many times in our history, only this time it is not this or that civilization that may become extinct. This or that is gone. Now it is one global human civilization connected by a network of dependencies like never before. With a global population increase of around 6.9 million per month! Considering what we are doing with our planet, it seems the snake will eat its own head in a moment. Ouroboros cycle is about to close to restart from the beginning. Because, to quote Albert Einstein, we will not solve the problems at the level at which we generated them! And it's not about the level of technology. Everyone can see that it just doesn't work. How Mr. Elon Musk offers $ 100 million to anyone who develops a technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere means that he has become so "wise" that he ceases to understand. It is enough to stop cutting down forests, including mainly rain forests, for soybean cultivation, to powerfully feed cattle, so that we can screw our hamburgers. CO2 is also a food for plants, it is an essential component of the photosynthesis process taking place at the quantum level, which provides us with oxygen. You just need to really stop cutting down trees and planting them. But it won't patent and sell it with multiple profits... Technology is not a solution. The only salvation, the only solution is the evolution of consciousness on a massive scale, which is of course, at the moment, wishful thinking. Everything indicates that once again great confusion will be our epitaph. The global strange loop is called Absurdistan. It grows and loops more and more every day. Will one ever escape this maze of one's own stupidity? An open question... The answer, my Friend from the high castle is "blowin' in the wind" ...
  23. And now I encourage you to get creative. What needs to be done to, for example, realistically limit the production of plastic packaging? What is so unusual you have to do? Think. Because from a bit higher level, many pressing problems have fucking simple solutions
  24. I will add something else from myself. Personally, I think that a whole lot of civilizations like ours are evolving in the universe. But only a handful of those who have realized at the crucial moment that without spiritual development, without the evolution of consciousness, there is simply no, absolutely no chance to go further ... and they understand that until we understand there is no how to help us. Simply put, the true evolution of global civilization is a fucking difficult process that only very few succeed.
  25. Hello Everybody? I have a very human dream… I dream that “someday”, at the end of this journey we’ll sit all together with God at some fireplace in some forest, or wherever, have a bottle of good cold lager, and we’ll all laugh. Bringing back all good memories of how it was with You or You, then or then… (“if we make it, we can all sit back and laugh” – King Crimson “Epitaph”) But now I start again from the ground floor. Once again. After hundreds or maybe even thousands of beginnings in the past, being dragged back by ego backlash, here I go again. Now I know there’s no other way, nowhere else I can go and I need to move. Thanks to Leo’s dedication and devotion in pursuing the truth, and his amazing gift to share all his experiences and wisdom he has gained, in a very genuine, gentle but precise way it’s all WAY easier… I have no words to thank him for his job. Anyway, I’ve found few ideas that I’ve incorporated in my work, they’ve seemed to work well for me so far, so I want to share them with You Folks. Maybe it will be helpful for some of You. At the beginning, where I’m still in, of course, there’s fucking dark and scary. The realization of the sizes of my ego is frightening... (“our shadows taller than our souls” – Led Zeppelin, “Stairway to Heaven) It’s like a thick rubber balloon-like costume pumped to the maximum pressure it can hold. It feels claustrophobic. It smells like a used condom. I know. Lack of acceptance. Lack of understanding. Lack of love. But it’s not so easy, You know... Years took me to make a tiny tear to look outside to see this scary darkness. WTF am I doing? Doubtful thoughts start to grow. Then I realize that the reason I see darkness is because I keep my eyes shut. It’s so fucking scary that I fear to even open my eyes. I need to quit for a while… It’s overwhelming. I cannot do it. No way. It’s too heavy. Lots of tears. Waiting for a backlash but this time it’s not coming. Maybe later and, surely, stronger. At last, I force myself to open my eyes and see what I saw in the past, this minefield. Set of traps, set of mazes, mazes of traps. Trickery of mind seems to be infinite and I never manage to even “walk a 5meters”... (“up and down, and in the end it’s only round and round” – Pink Floyd “Us and Them”) Time out. Need a break. This is pointless. I’ll fool myself once again, gain nothing, except pain and disappointment. But time Leo’s words of Wisdom resonate from all these episodes of awakening somewhere in my head. I listen to them once again, see Leo dealing with some similar shit, we smile at each other. Is this real? Is this telepathy? Fuckin’ hell!! WOW!! Thanks, Mate! Thank You very, very much. The sort of solution appears. I’ve been playing chess for a long time, but my next obsession started when I joined chess.com The diamond profile, direct access to all chess openings, defenses, and strategies sucked me like a black hole. Discovering layer after layer the inner structures of the game, hours of games in quick and blitz mode with other players, and with boots were both very satisfying and very frustrating. It’s like every process You start with, whatever it is. In the beginning, you make fair quick progress, your ego pumps. Then the ladder begins. The core. You have to realize, that there are no shortcuts. Focusing on gaining points and classification leads You to nowhere. Frustration overcomes THE FUN You should have with the process itself. Its ups and downs. It will take years, thousands of hours to improve. Sometimes You’ll be losing poorly with some brilliant newbies who are classified few levels lower than You. So?? That’s THE PROCESS ITSELF. Do You Guys notice such things as AlphaGo, AlphaGoZero, AlphaZero, or MuZero? Brilliant AI networks made by Google’s Deep Mind Team. AlphaZero took a 100 game challenge against the most powerful chess engine Stockfish. All chess Grand Masters, commentators talked then about AlphaZero superhuman chess performance, which it certainly was. But no matter how brilliant it may look like, how brilliant it is, how complicated it may look, IT IS FINITE. Check the Shannon Number on Wikipedia. Complexity in chess goes in BIG number but it’s all finite. That’s my point. This AlphaEgo Maze of Traps is of course much much more complicated than chess or any other game, even the game of life?. But it’s finite. As its source is. As the ego is. And dealing with ego is something like a game of chess. In some way. So I take an approach to have some more fun. Not to worry too much when it defeats me. Ok, that’s the part of the process. I start to study these traps as I study openings or defense strategies in chess. See the patterns, see the structures. Watch out for the next trick. And try to like my opponent?. Love You All God Bless You (and keep this cold beer for us:)
