Go pet a kangaroo. I don't disagree with Sadhguru at all. You must be careful in which context a word like "logic" is being used. Logic can mean a lot of different things to different people. The things I talk about are not logical per se. They are trans-rational. They are more intuitive and conscious than logical. But at the same time logic is not separate from Truth. The universe clearly has order and Logos to it. It is has an intelligible design. Becoming conscious of how everything is interconnected is far beyond logical. It is direct consciousness + supermind. It is one of the highest truths there is. Show me two things which are not connected.

@now is forever You're not going to awaken through sex. It's a cute idea but it doesn't work in practice.

@Pouya Well, you've been given dozens of techniques. Are you doing them? Fruits come from work. To pick apples you must first plant and water an apple tree.

Plug 20-30mg of 5-MeO salt in a quiet room all by yourself and there you go. Godhead. Mushrooms and LSD are decent alternatives if you can't access 5-MeO. Don't underestimate the power of mushrooms and LSD. Don't trip with other people. They disrupt the trip. Teach yourself how to trip solo in quiet.

There is YOU to appreciate it! God appreciates his own creation. Plus, if you create something great, people will appreciate it too. I have an inbox full of Thank You letters. I don't have enough time to read them all.

You already have so what are you asking?

@Ar_Senses I'll talk about fractals when we discuss chaos theory. It sounds like you're on the right track. Remember, the real fruits of this work will come 5-10 years into it. You can certainly get results sooner, but the kind of stuff I was talking about in my last video -- that's the fruition of 10 years of personal development work. That is super-human stuff. Most people have no clue such things are possible. Don't think of it as, "Oh man... you mean I have to wait 10 years?" No! What I'm saying is that after 10 years of great results, your results will them explode into unspeakable, God-like, super-human realms which no one would ever believe. The end-game of personal development is epic. That should motivate you to do the work. I did not wait for 10 years to get a big result. I was getting lots of results throughout those entire 10 years. Then God was the cherry on top of my sundae. Don't feel bad for doing simple personal development, working on your career, working on your biz, learning attraction, developing experience and confidence, etc. That basic stuff is important so that later in life you can dive into spirituality from a solid foundation. Psychedelics will super-charge all this. Solo retreats will super-charge all this. Then again, psychedelics can derail your productivity and work ethic because the truths they reveal are so far beyond everyday survival activities that you will stop caring about money, sex, and work. Since I started doing psychedelics 2 years ago my work output and business productivity has suffered quite a bit. But what I lost in productivity I made up in profundity and authenticity. The metaphysical life is not very "practical". That comes with pros and cons. Then again, I am still able to run a business. But I would not be able to start a business on psychedelics. For starting business you need to be 110% focused on the business for at least a few years. It's smart to split your life up into chapters: Chapter 1: Schooling & Education Chapter 2: Getting a Job Chapter 3: Health & Fitness Chapter 4: Starting A Business / Life Purpose Chapter 5: Earning Good Money, Building Up A Nest Egg Chapter 6: Self-Help Chapter 7: Attraction, Dating, Relationships Chapter 8: Spirituality & Consciousness Work Chapter 9: Psychedelics Chapter 10: Hardcore Yoga / Pursuing Enlightenment Chapter 11: Starting A Family Etc. Those are only some ideas, not a specific formula. Each chapter is done sequentially for a 1-5 years. You must figure out which chapters you need, which you don't, and what order is right for you to do them in.

My view has not really changed. Here we are talking about it in the context of a serious yogic practice designed to raise kundalini. Obviously it would be beneficial not to squander your 2nd chakra energy when you are trying to raise kundalini. Ordinary people who are not trying to raise their kundalini can masturbate on occasion without much problem, as long as it doesn't become an addition that takes over your life. You can even masutrbate and do Kriya yoga, it will just take you longer to raise kundalini.

@Ry4n Not sure yet. Yes, I will try N,N-DMT and other things. You never know until you try.

See how sloppy you are? You are parroting too much vedanta or whatever.

@How to be wise Scientific understanding is not necessarily false, it's just partial. Your problem here is that you fundamentally overlook what understanding and communication are. Understanding is not a literal thing. The mind can understand things in various ways and at various levels. Do not dismiss this as: "Oh, it's mind stuff so it's all unreal." No, that's way too sloppy and incorrect. The mind can understand things correctly. It is possible, for example, to understand how God works. This involves some use of the mind, but this is like supermind, not ordinary mind. It is mind plus a high state of consciousness. The insights are not linear or rational or verbal. Supermind is a thing you're overlooking because you've watched too many videos of gurus telling you to stop thinking. That is good advice but it's rather blunt, partial, and not nuanced enough. This advice is not absolute, it has a limited context. Don't take it too literally. A good yogi develops supermind in addition to whatever awakenings or samadhi's he has. I see many of you guys here lack nuance. You got it in your mind that all there is is awakening to no-self and no-mind, all there is is asking Who am I? Well, that's very sloppy and misses a ton of valuable other stuff. In fact, some of the best stuff has nothing to do with Who am I? Thus you have no ancillary understanding like: What is language? What is science? What is communication? What is relationship? What is reason? What is society? What is government? What is culture? What is understanding? What is art? What is evolution? What is health? What is a fractal? Etc. There is way more to this work than enlightenment. Your notion of "real" makes little difference. The formed world is nothing, but it still has a structure and is worthwhile to study and understand. You can say that kangaroos aren't real, but someone else can go and study a kangaroo and discover amazing things about it. You could say, "But a kangaroo is just a thought." No it isn't. You could say, "But who needs a kangaroo when you can access God?" But the kangaroo is God too! By studying a kangaroo in the right way you are studying a facet of God. To really appreciate God you might need to look a kangaroo in the face. The formed world is not less valuable than the Void. If it were, that would be a subtle duality. Concepts are not bad or wrong, just don't confuse them with the empty I AMNESS.

@molosku During that last month I sort of conquered my fear of 5-MeO. By the end when I was doing it I just stopped caring about fear/anxiety/etc. It now feels very natural. Although I have had hairy trips which most people would feak out over. No, my mind does not resist the 5-MeO. Whatever it wants to show me I am open to. Sometimes it slaps me around but I am okay with it. I surrender to it completely. I think the key is to have your heart in the right place. That is enough to overcome any minor ego stuff which we all tend to have. You don't need to be totally pure, just pure enough. For me 5-MeO is like a good guru: stern yet loving and good. I have not noticed that it slaps you around frivolously like some other psychedelics might. It just shows you Truth, and if you can handle it, you'll be good. So 5-MeO is only for those people who really crave and love Truth unconditionally.

@Joseph Maynor Of course I have plenty of devilish tendencies in me. And I am you, so any devils out there are not other than me. But I'm also aware that I am God and a devil. Are you? That makes an important difference. How much of your own devilry can you see? The more you can see, the less of devil you will be, since the devil can only do his work in the shadow of unconsciousness.

It is a tool for growth. Why is this so hard to understand? Arnold used steroids for competiton but this is not what made him so good. It was his mindset and hard work. If you think steroids will make you a great athlete you will be disappointed. They are merely a tool. And no, psychedelics are not unhealthy like steroids.

@DecemberFlower At what minute of the day were you born? You don't know. Notice that. That's not-knowing. Now apply that to all areas of life.

Of course. How else could it be? Who is there to judge a devil but another devil? The seeing of imperfection is itself devilry. And that too is perfect. The only thing you have to do to end your devilry is to accept everything exactly as it is. In other words, accept Truth. But of course, precisely because you are a devil you will absolutely refuse to do this, and what's more, you will tell yourself that you are right for refusing. Such is the way of the devil. He is hopelessly lost in his own delusion. Almost beyond help. Almost.

They are the same thing, only one is temporary the other is abiding as you go about everyday life.

@AlphaAbundance You are speaking of 5-MeO without any deep experience of it. So your thinking on this issue is pure fantasy. You would be lucky to be able to handle 3 back to back trips before you run crying for mommy. Get some experience first, then devise your plans. You are trying to use 5-MeO as a get out of jail free card, and that won't work. You can't skip the inner work. But you can speed it up.

Practices are very important. You will not get much out of 5-MeO without practices. You don't want to turn 5-MeO into a crutch. It is a powerful tool, but only a tool. It cannot be your cure-all fix. You ultimately want to be free of it. There is so much more to this work than just blasting 5-MeO up your ass. Keep in mind, when I do that, that's based on a very deep foundation of many years of inquiry, research, practice, and self-help. And even so, I don't do it all the time, I do it very strategically at certain periods of the year. Practically speaking, you will never be able to handle that much 5-MeO. It will totally disrupt your life and you will not be able to integrate it fast enough, leading to all sorts of emotional problems. Integrating 13 trips took me a lot of work. I pushed myself to the limit. And it took me 2 years of tripping to be able to do that. Don't try that at home. I'm what they call a profesisonal

@JakeR If you actually study quantum mechanics you will notice there no particles actually. Particles are pure mental abstraction. What is really there are infinitely entangled qunatum wave functions. Particle never existed. That was a cute story told to you in grade school because the reality of the sub-atomic world is infinitely complex and impossible to model perfectly. There can be nothing more fundamental than nothingness and infinity. No form is fundamental. All "particles" come and go, born and die -- as QM tells you. You must interpret QM very carefully. QM does NOT support materialism or realism at all.

@DecemberFlower That certainty in your purpose will naturally develop as you gain more experience. The point is to keep an open mind. The open mind applies more to new perspectives and ideas, rather than your values and stengths. You don't need to be too skeptical of your values and strengths. Listen to your heart and you will discover your top values and strengths. But you still need an open mind when it comes to new perspectives. That's right, the mind craves certainty just like the body craves food. Which is why openmindness is so hard for people. It goes counter to that.

Said the devil. Lol

If you started to behave unharmoniously, eventually there would be a countervailing force that stopped you. That is the genius of the design. It balances the autonomy of agents within Creation with community. Reality is balanced on a razer's edge. Allowing maximum diversity and interconnection. Life purpose is nothing you have to do, it's something you might want to do when you realize the enjoy of creating.

Ideally not. But it's better to do both than not doing yoga at all. Don't let perfectionism get in the way of growth. If you are young and undeveloped you will not be able to not masturbate. You might as well try to stop peeing.
