Where did you learn this technique?

Yes

Please only take what you may from this but this was his description of his enlightenment experience and it sounded so much like what Leo explained in the Total Omniscience Video with psychedelics, especially the part where I have highlighted. "After the experience I had on Chamundi Hill[where he had his first enlightenment experience] , time and space started flipping in me. Suddenly what was there was here; what was then was now. I could see everyone's past, present and future at the same time. It was one grand confusion. But it was also utterly beautiful. I realized then that all human experience is self-created. Though most human beings believe that their experience is created by events around them, I realized that it is hundred per cent self-created. You can make your experience whichever way you want. Just to feel a moment of pleasantness within oneself, how much indignity each human being is going through. Just to experience one moment of completeness, what a circus people are making of their lives. And it will never be enough. There will always be a longing in human beings for something more. This compulsion to go beyond compulsion is a fundamental human need. " Quoted from book ''More than a Life''

Yeah but in the end only we make the distinction between the two states right?

Haven't we all

Great point Leo. However, I think if someone doesn't integrate into modern times, they will have huge social problems. He is obviously playing the whole guru role and all the 'cool' traits he has. I don't think teleportation would play a good role in his mission to bring well being to the world. People will immediately start worshipping him and he is smarter than that. Having said that, he has performed many acts in the past which would seem supernatural by everyone who has witnessed them. I wouldn't write them here unless anyone wants to know specifically

@Nahm Yes but due to his history of deep mystical background and as a realized yogi, people tend to take his word on such matters seriously. Hence this whole discussion. But I clearly see where you are coming from

Zero, since he always says that he has never touched any substances (drugs) in his life

Yeah indeed I am also curious if you have heard of the story of Adiyogi outside of any Sadhguru sources? I am sure it is recorded in history but I just came to know about the whole story that, all schools of spirituality stemmed from him, only through Sadhguru.

Yeah agree, he is a very wise and responsible person. But also it is just hard to completely confirm his view on this whole topic since most of us are not nearly as conscious as him. We gotta do the work

Just for the LOLs

@fridjonk That's super nice to hear! I wouldn't have guessed that 4 years ago

Adiyogi will be the oldest dude there then ?

I've also heard about yogis commucating through telepathy but that's a whole other can of worms to open up on this thread ??

Gotcha

I am sure there will be in the future when the world is developed beyond stage Green

Lol

By flat scoops do you mean take a full scoop of the substance and then flatten it out at the top with something to get a hemisphere volume? I don't know if I explained that properly, hope you get the idea

It's chill, I made the assumption myself that you might not be aware of his work and that you are falsely projecting stuff. He is definitely not anyone's leader and certainly not mine

Well anyone speaking to large crowds has to sit or stand in an elevated position. Even the president does and maybe you did as well when you performed at a concert in school when you were a kid. I understand where you are coming from. It is not easy to listen to someone talking about things like he knows it all and especially with a turban on his head. Does it almost feel like some religious mumbo jumbo guy trying to get you to believe that he is the deal and knows it all?? Well, it is important to look at this from a different point of view. Since we are just in a culture that is transcending religion and into a science/atheist based culture, it is easy to dismiss a guy like Sadhguru all together because he resembles a religious character. So see if you are unknowingly projecting these assumptions onto him. Secondly, his full time work is not to go around and do Sathsangs all over and get more people to believe his stuff. It is easy to assume that by just seeing him on youtube and on social media. A big portion of his work lies in changing policies and economies, education and helping people get out of poverty in rural India (for now). The biggest goal of his life which he spent decades was something called the ''Dhyanalinga'' which you can research about if you want. But basically it is an energy form which will last forever and if you set foot into its vicinity, you will automatically become meditative. On top of it, he has other social projects going in many fields. One of them is an ecological project where they planted over 30 million trees in the last decade. The whole planet is benefiting from something like that, even the people who are not fans of him. They will still breathe in the oxygen of those plants and enjoy a planet without global warming unknowingly. Therefore please do your research on what he has accomplished in his life before making full judgements It is really fascinating to see what he has accomplished in just the last 2 decades. Probably most people wont end up doing a fraction of it by the end of their lives.

@Salvijus Ohhh yes I know this! I had to listen to it over and over again to understand it but now that I read it again I get it

I am going to starting soon with Shamanic breathing. Does anyone have success with it regarding dissolving emotional trauma?

I'd like to please hear more reviews on this meditation I think a lot of people will underestimate its power because it is ''Free''

Yeah I see what you mean. This is where psychedelics don't make sense to me anymore, in terms of karma. BTW what was the joke?

Many good points by everyone here
