About event
Interactive lecture by comedian, writer and lecturer Jiří Charvát, author of the book "How to become nobody: Awakening for skeptics".
Are you suffering? And have you ever wondered why? What if it's because you're misplacing yourself in your experience? That you think you are something other than you are? What if it turns out you don't really have a problem? Because you're not the nerd in the middle, but this whole thing. Don't you believe? This evening will prove it to you.
Armed with the latest knowledge about consciousness, the neurobiology of the mind, the mechanisms of mapping the world, the effect of psychedelics and meditation, determinism and free will, but also with humor and attentive experience, Jiří Charvát helps readers and listeners see through the illusion of 'I' and start living from the wisdom of non-duality.
However, he does not flaunt any esoteric doimology. On the contrary. He targets rational, science-based skeptics, among whom he counts himself. According to him, scientific progress has finally matured to the point where it can back up ancient teachings with exact research, evidence and arguments.
Go on a fascinating journey to self-discovery, wake up from the dream of 'I' to the fullness and transparency of what you are, and save yourself the vast majority of classic human psychological suffering.
What will happen
• We will find out, how and why the 'self' arises. What is good for us and what harms us.
• We will wonder why we actually identify with what we identify with.
• We will understand the dynamics of the mind and see through the illusion of free will.
• We will demystify meditation and teach even those who believe they cannot do it to meditate.
• We will drop the center from the experience so that they saw that we are this state in which everything appears by itself.
• And in doing so we discover not-self, non-separation and non-action. And with them deep peace.
• And as a bonus: we will laugh together and enrich each other with like-minded people who have also been ecstatic for many years about the ultimate question: "Who am I?"
