Sadh guru pushes his life style on his apprentices. Rather take his program to get the full picture, I can always watch his youtube videos as supplements.

@Scholar I just watched couple of minutes of it right now. So painful to watch it.

Free market right in your face, buddy. Love how he is acting like he is the middle. Never found this guy sincere. Hopefully he is gone for good. Probably his ban is more of a salvation than a punishment. He was ebegging for money and bullying his followers for not paying. He simply couldn't get he wasn't providing value. He also developed that psychopath look. God knows what is racing through his head. At least he can leave the stage gracefully and he can't blame the state ironically but he can act a victim to save face.

I usually eat beef or steak 3 times a week. My body just demands it. It is important to listen to your body. If you do, you don't even want unhealthy stuff. I would say I eat a lot of greens too so I'm vegan + meat eater.

Found old review from Peter Joseph of his debate with Stefan. Update: Looks like Stefan is perma banned from Youtube. He is also banned from Twitter after countless race baiting and other violations.

There are no Isha centers near me. I looked at his online programs and they don't cost a lot. It is priced very respectably. I first thought about buying his books but I don't know if that is a good idea. Kriya yoga I know it can get very technical.

Try pumping up your energy by thinking positive things and where you want to go, instead of spending that energy on negative things. See it like this: there is a positivity tree and a negativity tree. Which tree do you want to grow? Probably you didn't even think about this and you have been doing things unconscious. By becoming conscious of which plant you water you can create a different garden (your life).

Whatever you resist persists. You probably noticed that. That is how addictions get worse and worse.

You need to feel adequate as you are as a human, so you don't seek outside things to make you whole as a person. If you feel enough as a person, everything that comes on top of that is just an extra.

I love the plants and I want to get plants but it is kind of a pain if you are away from the house for more than 1 week. Currently own 1 bonzai tree. These are used to contemplate with. I definitely recommend it. These can survive without water for 2 weeks.

Do you really want an answer or do you just want to hear that we are monsters because we like juicy healthy steak?

Good point. Craving implies that you are not joyful and happy with your current state. It implies you need something external to reach happiness. You can actually find internally what you search externally. Sometimes, I'm so much in my own head that I forget this. That is why meditation is so important.

It depends on your cost and benefit. Here memberships don't cost a lot. For 20 bucks you get full membership. If that is the case for you it is not even worth to think about it.

Addiction is automatic behavior so if you reach a certain awareness you can see your automatic behavior unfolding. Stopping it is another thing. I got disappointed by enlightenment too. You basically have to accept your addiction because fighting it makes the addiction stronger (don't fight ghosts that don't exist mentality). It is counter intuitive.

He had almost 1 million subs but nobody was watching his videos because he is so long-winded and weird. Downward spiral started 5 years ago. Almost 3 years ago he went alt right and borderline racist(because he thought that was a smart career move) and that created a bigger downward spiral. From time to time, I would peak at his channel, and from what I could see, is that his videos were never about philosophy. He used philosophy as a cloak to dish out his political videos. He got only 10-30k views although he had approx 1 million subs. He created some digital products like some documentaries and that was a major flop. Nobody bought it and he made a loss on the projects. His lousy books are not good, nobody was buying them, they got bad reviews, so he gave them away for free. He can't monetize books that he already gave away.

I agree. He needed to ebeg............ but it wasn't working for him. I'm not saying he shouldn't have ebegged. He ebegged and his channel majorly flopped regardless. His video "my brutal year" was a testament that his channel failed. He wasn't coming up with new stuff. Just rehashing the old anti-statists and anti-family stuff. Stefan was even tired of himself. It is easy to point fingers at others.

There are a lot of people who don't like him. I think he just build up that karma. If you are mean to others they will be mean to you. Also about donations. If you have almost 1 million followers and you have to ebeg to not go broke you are doing something wrong. The customer is never at fault. It is the business model. To get donations you need to provide value. If not, one has to ebeg and use passive aggressiveness. His channel was already dying. My theory is that he just put out race theory videos to get his channel band so he could leave the stage with the victim hat on.

Literally lmao ? This ban will give him more peace than suffering. He needs to do what he is good at and it is not philosophy or politics.

He told his followers to ditch their family members and isolate themselves so he would get a better grip on them and milk them for donations. That is definitely a nasty thing to tell your followers. The word cult is just a label. I dont get why people care so much about that. He was just a weird and insincere guy. Just very hypocrite to the core of his personality. His countless weird debates with people show that.

I got triggered for a second. He is always very mean to other people. It is difficult for me to have sympathy for him. Just some examples: Also a while back I watched his debate with Peter Joseph and he was extremely rude towards him. Since then I stopped following him. Just peaked at his channel once in a while to see him ebegging or bullying or edging on racism.

Thanks to Joe Dispenza I'm going to have a date with a girl. Something that was very difficult for me although I'm OK looking dude. Seriously, last few weeks I had some many opportunities to get a girl because of my good energy but I just didn't man up and approach, even when the signs were so obvious. Today, this girl just asked me. Girl almost literally going to fall on my lap. I hope this will be my first fruit of surrendering, being present and mindful. Anyway, this date is planned but it yet has to happen. In other regards my life is going better too but it is not where I want it to be. In the last few months having no female companion was really a thorn in my back. I hope I will raise my consciousness and spend my time on myself. I didn't go on this road for a piece of ass. I want to develop my consciousness, self discipline and character.

Websites like skill share have good seminars on the topic.

I'm at the same stage. My advice is to plan your trips carefully. Take preparation, meditation and integration serious.

I have a hard time recognizing certain emotions or sensations. A lot is going under the radar. Any recommendations on literature and action steps?

@Galyna "this book", which book?
