This issue is far deeper than you yet realize. Your identity as a human is a false one, but you need it to survive in the social domain. So you play various manipulation games, trying to suit your identity to what has social survival value. This makes it impossible to ever be happy about yourself because all these social identities are pure fiction. The ultimate solution is to awaken out of that false identity to your true identity -- as Nothing/God. For this enlightenment is required. You can make your current identity more authentic and less pathological and less reactive. This will make your life better. But you will never be fully satisfied with that until you finally awaken to the fact that your true identity is Emptiness and formlessness. You are literally not anything. Or pure consciousness without any properties or forms. You are also litterally the entire universe. So how could any human identity make you satisfied?

@Monkey-man If you realized you are God, there would be no struggle. So you are standing in your own way by your attachment to being human. All you have to do is die. But that is the last thing you want to do. Hence the struggle. Struggle is part of survival.

Would you agree with the claim that Jesus had a left-wing bias?

You can't dissolve it. You must die. You still aren't appreciating how radical unconditional happiness is. It only comes AFTER death.

Roadkill, eh? "Waste not, want not." -- Benjamin Franklin

No argument can overcome lack of consciousness.

@whoareyou You are looking at this using a stage Orange lens. There are higher POVs. You won't understand what I am saying until you grow some more.

@Joseph Maynor LOL The devils are out in full force today.

Of course if you take too much regardless of how, you will white out or die or whatever.

From what I recall he is not a vegan precisely for those reasons. I could be wrong. My memory is hazy here.

By that logic it also does not matter that animals die.

200 years of slavery and racism worth about $30 trillion is lost economic value. How many years does it take to make up $30 trillion? Do the math.

Notice how it is the hallmark of devils to criticize angels. You should expect a vampire to speak ill of sunlight.

@Andreas I will do that after you get in touch with the Pope and correct him on his understanding of the Bible.

@Farnaby You do realize, right, that a large percentage of the population requires meat to stay alive? You cannot survive in Northern climates on vegetables alone. This is not a hard limit, but it is a reality for millions of people. And people who come from cold climates have corresponding genetics and culture. Cultures and peoples are adapted to different climates and diets.

Bahahahahahaha... You might as well quote me the Pope.

@Greatnestwithin Yeah, don't smoke it. It will be much easier.

@nowimhere Your dose is still a bit too low. You're on the edge there but not a full breakthrough. Have a breakthrough with eyes open. Become the room and beyond.

@Andreas People like you make a mockery of science. Dogs also have 99.9% the same genetics. But that 0.1% is very fucking important. That 0.1% is enough to make you retarded, insane, crippled, or born with two heads.

@Andreas Before you go spouting your "science" at me, learn what an independent variable is. You devil. Body type is INDEPENDENT of fat or muscle. If you overfeed a greyhound it will be fat. But it will never look like a pitbull.

Some Youtuber criticizing Sadhguru is like a kid in 1st grade criticizing Albert Einstein. LOL

@Andreas It's not bullshit. Go to the gym and observe people's body types. Trust your eyes, not videos or "science". Observe females too. You can clearly spot female endomorphs vs ectomorphs. Some girls are super skinny and it's not a diet thing. Some girls are beefy. You can clearly see this by watching porn. Underlying body type is independent of fat or muscle. You can also see this in animals. Some breeds of dog are naturally very skinny while others are squat. Compare a grey hound to a pitbull. I am like a grey hound. Joe Rogan is like a pitbull. The mistake is expecting a grey hound to be like a pitbull. That mistake is on you, not the grey hound. The grey hound is designed for speed. If you were a careful observer, you would notice the perfection of its design rather than judging it.

What you guys are overlooking is that my natural body shape is very tall and lean. Don't compare me to guys like Joe Rogan who are short, squat, and beefy-looking. To look buff, I would have to add 60 pounds of muscle onto a 6'2" frame. This is not sustainable or healthy for me. Remember that people have fundamentally different body types (regardless of fat or muscle). There are endomorphs, mesomorphs, and ectomorphs. (And also xenomorphs ) I was always an ectomorph. An ectomorph who happened to be fat due to poor diet. Muscles do not scale proportionally if your body goes from 5'8" to 6'2". You will become leaner and it will be much harder for you to look buff at 6'2" than at 5'8". Of course there are some tall endomorphs like The Rock. But that ain't me. If you go to the gym and just observe people there, you'll clearly see who is an ectomorph, mesomoroph, endomorph. Our culture -- especially bro culture which tries to be macho -- devalues ectomorphs while idolizing mesomorphs and endomorphss. But all of these assignments of value is ego.

This is a supremely important question. I encourage you to really contemplate it and research it deeply. The mind is almost entirely symbolic. But what are symbols? What is language? These are not easy questions to answer but in them lies to key to liberation from the mind.

It's not about playing victim, it's about recognizing systemic inequalities which are de-harmonizing society and creating needless suffering. It's not just black people who are hurt by it. When people are not treated fairly, they then lash out and we all suffer the consequences collectively. What I am saying actually requires taking responsibility for the systemic inequalities in our government. It is irresponsible to call people who were economically and racially oppressed for 200 years "victims". That is gaslighting. That's exactly like beating your wife and then telling her, "Oh, stop crying. Stop playing the victim here. It's all just a state of mind. Think positive." That's the definition of devilry. There are real material inequalities at work here. You're not appreciating the systemic downstream effects of slavery and racism. It doesn't just fix itself in 50 years.
