The Blind Sage

I believe you're mistaken sir; Elliot married his highschool girlfriend and has been with her since. He's never had a divorce.

I might also add to just be aware of your judgements of the disrespectful students while watching.

Not really sure exactly where to put this post but here it is. Sadhguru is one of my favorite sages and here is one example of why. Just look at how centered he is. The youtube title is clicklbait tho, its just a (little heated) discussion between Sadhguru and a fiery law student.

I find his attitude towards psychedelics is very strange...He's usually up front about taboo topics but I feel like he's playing coy or hiding information on this (maybe in fear the masses will coopt his wisdom). Can't really blame him for that I suppose. Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNhvIKx9i2o He claims that 'I've never touched a substance but im always stoned' yet he's drank cobra venom for some rituals which is clearly a 'subtstance'. Wish I could have a no bullshit talk with the guy.

ahahahahaha

@Space Ah fuck, completely forgot about that, will edit now

@Mikael89 Interesting.

Interesting perspective, I'l keep that in mind

Sure, but I feel like you're missing the point lol Your profile picture is 11/10 btw

Agreed, we know next to nothing about these creatures and how they fit in to the big picture. The prejudice surrounding the word 'alien' must be made aware of. What makes you assume it's to have a more graspable experience of the fear of the unknown?

Side note: fuck im broken after that video.... reached a new level of disheartened yup.

@Leo Gura How does mahasamadhi fit into your claim that yoga wont get you to where 5-MEO does. Is it that 5-MEO is more effective for awakening when you are limited to the body but will not allow you to consciously leave it like mahasamadhi? Also, you did mention that yoga could get you to the same level-but even that you doubt. Let's assume it can. Is the kriya yoga stack that you posted on the mega thread for several decades the way to go (twice a day), or is far more rigorous practice required? If so, approximately how hardcore do you reckon it must be?

This isn't quite the answer you're looking for but still relevant https://isha.sadhguru.org/yoga/new-to-yoga/types-of-yoga/

Boys, I'm dumbfounded... From everything to his expressions to his gesticulations. Just look at how masterfully he explains this all the while being playful and genuinely enjoying himself Refreshing and inspiring Definitely reading his books.

The body awareness book in the book list expands a lot on centring as well as other principles, highly recommend. 10/10 read based on usefulness.

I bet it's viagra...

I dont mean reveal it in the form of a video-I understand it'd be a waste of your time as you have a lot more important topics to cover+doing your own pracices. I mean reveal it in this forum right here. Are you afraid people will waste their time chasing this substance?

@Leo Gura Could you at least tell us the reason you wont reveal the substance?

@David Hammond You've mentioned to 1. Study Jung 2. Become a disciple to a physical master in the Dzogchen tradition 3. Use Anapanasati meditation with focus on the hara as a technique What are the main things besides these 3 points that you can say were critical on your path (so far). Any resources/books/lectures/teachers/techniques/mindsets/crucial advice? It'd be much appreciated.

Lol guys don't waste your time arguing with him. He's clearly feeding off the attention. Wish him luck and leave him on his way.

Hey mate, I haven't watched this episode yet but he may have already covered it here:

I relate a lot to your story. My first video was also the same one-my perception of life was turned inside out and I've been on the path for nearly 2 years now. Reflect on how much you've changed over the past 10 months. Compare where you were 2 years ago and where you are now. It's a world of difference, and the results you get are exponential, not linear. I don't know about others but for the first year my emotional state was quite volatile-I would doubt myself, criticise, go through swings, etc. My psyche stabilised after some time though, just have faith and keep walking. Remember its a marathon, not a race. But also consider this; who is the one perceiving the negative self-talk? Ask yourself what is that, that is aware of these thoughts? Stay in this post question state. Being present need not necessarily be projected to your surroundings. Whatever arises, simply allow it to be. You're doing well so far. Many have mentioned that most of the path is in fact transcending our psychological neuroses and shadow work. We all have trauma, it seems like that's where you need the most work right now. There's lots of resources for this-check out the book on Leos book list on shadow work+negative self talk+self-esteem as well as these: Good luck dear one.

You can block blue light without purchasing anything if you have a pc. Just thought I'd share this with you guys. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-use-a-blue-light-filter-on-pc-mac/
