I was unfamiliar but found this video interview with Radins

If you know that you should be reading 5 articles and cross referencing what is keeping you from doing it?

what do you mean? Also give a topic example

. Sadhguru’s wife Vijji and their child Swami Rama wrote in his book “Living with the Himalayan masters” about four kinds of attaining mahasamadhi: 1. Self-burning within a fraction of a second, by meditating on the solar plexus 2. Opening the top of the skull in the “perfect position” 3. Stopping one’s breath in the deep waters of the Himalayas 4. Freezing in the state of Samadhi Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev’s wife Vijaykumari also known as Vijji . She was not was not an advanced meditator according to her husband but had intensified her practice in the tme leading up to her death. She died on January 23, 1997 at age 33 leaving behind this child, who was almost 7 years old at the time. She was said to have willed her own death by meditative state "Mahasamadi" if not perhaps she poisoned herself or was poisoned by some this is not known. Typically people who are said to have died this way are gurus or advanced meditators are usually older and in some cases sick. Had she poisoned herself Sadhguru may not have wanted to know. She was cremated immediately and Sadhguru didn't wait for his father in law to reach there in spite of the requests. The request made by Viji’s own father to wait was ignored. His father in law made a police complaint later that he was suspicious about Viji’s death and that Viji might have been murdered. Police dismissed the case due to lack of evidence. _______________________________________________ Sadhguru: In the month of July in 1996, we were consecrating the Dhyanalinga. Vijji had decided that once the linga was complete, she would leave her body. She announced that she would leave on a particular full moon day, and she started working towards that. I tried to talk to her, “It’s not necessary now, wait for some time.” But she said, “Right now, my life is perfect, inside of me and outside of me. This is the time for me. I don’t know if another time like this will come for me.” For some reason we could not complete the consecration at that time. So on that full moon day, she sat with a group of people, meditating. Eight minutes later, she left, without any effort and with a big smile on her face. She was at the peak of her health, just thirty-three years of age. It is not easy to leave like this without causing any damage to the body. Just walking out of your body like you drop your clothes and go is not an ordinary thing. When a person has reached that point in his life when he feels everything that he needs is fulfilled, and there is nothing more to see in his life, he drops his body, willfully. If there is any struggle or injury, it means suicide. When there is no struggle, when somebody just walks out like he walks out of a room, that’s Mahasamadhi. Once a person leaves like this, that person is no more. When somebody dies, you say they are no more, but that’s not true. They are “no more” the way you know them, that’s all. But once a person leaves in full awareness, shedding the body without causing any injury or damage to the body, that person is truly no more. That person doesn’t exist as a being anymore. They have just melted away, the game is up, completely. “When I say Vijji, I am not referring to her as my wife or as a woman…” Below is Sadhguru’s talk, on Vijji’s Mahasamadhi, spoken two days after the event on Thaipusam, 1997. Sadhguru: It has always been hard for me to explain to people what Vijji is. When I say Vijji, I am not referring to her as my wife or as a woman. Even as a being, she has always been truly wonderful in my experience. But as many of you know, she was a person of very intense emotions. In her childlikeness, whatever emotions were within her always found expression, irrespective of the situation. Now she attained Mahasamadhi – the ultimate aim of all spiritual seekers – with such effortlessness, and has proved her worth. This is not child’s play. Even accomplished yogis who spent their lives in spiritual sadhana struggle to attain this. To throw one’s life out of the body without injuring the body takes something else. One has to generate tremendous amount of energy, which requires intense sadhana. She knew the methods to achieve this and she was working towards this. But at this stage, we never imagined that without my assistance, she would be able to generate the necessary energy. Anyway she would have trodden this path, but the swiftness with which she achieved this is too much. She just made this possible with her love, probably the only thing she knew. When I look at the whole series of events, it is very clear that there is a direct intervention of the Divine. It seems like Shambho that her heart was crying for, has taken her by the hand. Out of sheer love, she made it possible. To a few people who were close to her, she had spoken about this many times. She had been expressing her intense desire to leave her body in full awareness, without any sense of attachment. “I want to leave” – this had been her constant mantra with me also.

Stop playing games Iron Mike is currently one the most enlightened being on the planet. He had to start out brutish to get there. He had to pass through all the tiers, all colors to complete the prism of consciousness. Leo has more book knowledge and his place in the pantheon but Iron Mike has Buddha nature, natural spiritual talent. Others may get there but they have to work at it more. However Leo is integrating from a new awakening so will have to see See this. it's wrong . . The pyramid, this is the foundation that stands upright

do you have a quote from the bible where the devil is claiming to be good? Also if we look at the statement "You are God", if that is true I am God. If I am God why do I have to realize it? You're telling me God doesn't know he's God? If I created everything how would I not know that? And why sin't the statement "we are God" or "Everything is God" or "5 Meo DMT is God"? And keep in mind if these three statements are to considered the same then God is not only good but everything including love. hate, apathy and everything else

Infinite logic, that's a threat, careful

possibly the two most annoying people in America presently

right, so called "reality" is on If life is a dream how can it be an objective reality? Dreams aren't objective reality

You will have to suffer until it starts to heal although some self hypnosis and meditation techniques might offer some relief. Using meditation to shut of pain is very difficult and takes a long time. In doing so one has to do something to cause pain in a measured and timed way in order to build up a meditation to handle it. That could take months. In the mean time the pain meditation danger is not so much the side effects as is the potential for addiction. You can also start reducing the mediation by measuring it in a very precise way an gradually reducing it. the pain is going to be reducing anyway as the natural healing sets in In the meantime try this, read my comment here:

Are you currently experiencing pain?

Once you are at 20, you might want to use a timer and go to 25, that for 3 days and then add another 5. You could stick with 30-45 or keep going. Once you can easily do 45 and have done it for a month then you could keep it or go back to 20. Some people who do Transcendental meditation for 20 minutes for years. If you set a timer to a time, have a timer where the alarm alarms but it shuts off after a short period and you don't have to manually shut it off. That way you can sit longer if you feel like it without having to shut it off.

this bench has to designed properly. It has an angle on it. The same concept here with a spacial pillow Here is the pillow used to make cross legged easier Here we have the pillow used for this seiza position Big advantage, no device needed. I recommend doing this over the other methods, it's much easier than the half or full lotus. So one could do this 4 days in a row and then on the fifth day sit on a chair or conventional stool so you can mediate longer without thinking about your legs. Asian people in cultures who use chairs less are already accustomed

Just build up flexibility gradually. If you have to stand extend you legs or stand for a minute it's ok, you can sit back down and return to meditating. As Mr. Fripp noted you can once in a while do sitting meditation in a chair ( but you must not touch the back of the chair., not even once) because you are not having to deal with you legs you can't sit longer without interruption, try meditating in a chair or stool with a timer for 46 minutes. Look at this thread where the Burmese and Seiza positions are discussed. If you are outside you can see the advantage of not having to rely on a chair. However in the meantime using a chair or stool will allow you to do longer meditations (but keep working on the legs in different sessions)

Chumbimba is not trying to get out of his head now. He changed his focus since this thread . He says he need to self-reflect more and go into his pain and misery to solve his problems so he can purify myself and solve them

Letter to Peter Ralston by Leo Gura (page 15, mid of scroll ) (I'm not sure why it says summer 2020 but anyway: The above questions are not really pure questions. It's Leo saying these things are true and then asking Ralston does he knows they are true. For instance in the first question he does not ask "are you God?" he says Are you conscious that you are God? And I'm not sure if we assume that a person is God why would they have to become conscious they are what they are How could God not be conscious that he is God? If people are God why would you ask a person if they are person? But anyway the question presents the idea as true and ask does he know it's true. "God" is not one of Ralson's favorite words Ralston says "Yes " but no to the last part of the first question which is (Are you conscious That ) your will and intelligence creates the entire Universe? Ralston says There is no "will". So in this context will means his intention. I suspect he also does not think he created the universe. You would have to message him to see further on what he means that There is no will. However look at his answer to the 4th question, that might shed some light on it "no human mind can be omniscient, and in absolute consciousness there is no need for it, because nothing exists..... no state, no matter how grand, is enlightenment "

People the question has been updated in a new thread:

There are primary personal causes. Then you are walking down the street and someone gets a little too close to your personal space and you curse under your breath after you pass them. The degree of the anger can attached to latent anger in your life that you are already angry about. The little things only spark it. Some of this can also be anger at oneself. You thought you left it at home but then someone sparks it and you realize it was there all the time, just under the surface. Psychotherapy can sometimes uncover this and writing about yourself helps.

what misinterpretation are you referring to ?

what you were doing is what you were saying after, is mindfulness, focusing on the moment. That exposes the repressed anger (which caught you be surprise) and that can be unpleasant (but necessary to work through) However concentration meditation, "Samatha" is not focusing on the moment it is focusing on that one thing, one word or a mantra or a candle with the eyes open (gazing) . It is quite different and also called tranquility meditation When not doing meditation there is also the psychotherapy approach, trying to uncover root causes or past traumas which may have imprinted. That's vague. You probably have 1-3 primary anger points about something more specific. It may take a while for clarity on that. these things can be scary and if not understood can go on for years., one's demons. I have some myself

You have anger, it is repressed. The meditation you have been doing has revealed it , hence the value in mediation 2) concentration meditation four things to do self hypnosis, concentration meditation, mindfulness meditation, walking meditation . 1) self hypnosis when you are getting ready to go to sleep or waking up your brain is in a different wave state, more open to suggestion. Don't underestimate the effectiveness. this is more effective as a question and then a command to your subconscious . Mark on a piece of lined paper or make dots indicating 40 places. this is going to be tedious but after 40 times it's over. You write down this and say it out loud as you do it. "can I manage my anger? Yes manage the anger now, I am stable" Don't question this it's a simple concept not a philosophical issue. You say it 40 times then go to sleep what you want to happen something like this that you want to happen, as a question and then a command. Something doable and realistic not giant. After 3-4 days of this your subconscious will accept it and make it happen. You have anger, it is repressed. The meditation you have been doing has revealed it , hence the value in mediation 2) concentration meditation 30 minutes. With this you will select a statement you want to feel and say it over and over again. In this case a command. "relax be calm" or if you prefer a word with no meaning "Om" or just make one up. This approach is to focus on something, one thing to keep the anger out and replace it with something positive or neutral. This concentration blocks out the anger and leads to tranquility. You lose the concentration but then return to it, this one thing you have selected. It doesn't matter what it is 3) Mindfullness meditation with noting, any duration minimum 30 minutes. This will be a different approach. You will be aware of your breathing and of all thoughts and feelings, everything that is going on as you sit there. However when one of these thoughts and feelings come up you make up a label for it (noting) In your mind when something comes up you say in your mind "anger, anger anger" or "stiff back, stiff back, stiff back" or "old memory, old memory old memory" "bicycle, bicycle, bicycle" "sex, sex , sex" " Walter, Walter , Walter" It doesn't matter what it is if you have the thought or feeling you take not of it. You take note of it and identify it as if to say " yes I see you there thought" What this does is makes the thoughts and feelings pass more easily. We are human we cannot shut off our mind. But what we can do is not cling to these things we feel and think. And between the noting will be gaps of silence and those will be peaceful. this approach is not to suppress the feelings and thoughts we have or encourage them to pop into our minds. It is to realize the fact they are a part of us. So we step outside of ourselves, observe this automatic thoughts and impulses and learn to let these things rise and fall without clinging to them. You have the feeling you aren't the feeling 4) Walking meditation, pick a method https://liveanddare.com/walking-meditation/#2_Zen_Walking_Meditation_Kinhin before the concentration meditation or mindfulness meditation, to a couple of sets of push ups to release pent up physical energy. Also realize anger is an energy that can be transformed into a motivation and be transformed by channeling it into something positive but in order to do that you have to establish a positive thing you will channel it into, that could be many things not necessarily meditation. Shinzen practices these mediation methods still he found need at one point to do some psychotherapy, this being to talk to somebody and understand root causes of the self issues __________________________________________________________________________________________

3 hours is a lot harder than 30 minutes, that is a big jump. What is the nature of the anger? What type of thoughts? Angry about what?

. . Below some legal links to 19th and 20th century books on infinite love from a Christian perspective on googlebooks, including many excerpts available to read there https://www.google.com/books/edition/Little_Book_of_the_Work_of_Infinite_Love/6_WNDAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq="infinite+love"&printsec=frontcover THE LITTLE BOOK OF THE WORK OF INFINITE LOVE is a brief summary of the life and mission of Mother Louise Margareet Claret de la Touche (1868-1915), a Visitation Sister to whom Our Lord gave many intimate details concerning the love of His Sacred Heart for men. Of special importance are her revelations about the Sacred Heart and the Priesthood, showing how Our Lord desires to transform the world by love in particular, by the superabundant supernatural love He desires His priests to show mankind. This Little Book also contains a description of the Priests Universal Union of the Friends of the Sacred Heart, which Mother Louise founded, an outline of their duties, and selected from her writings. This last will be found suffused with simplicity, directness and holy penetration common to all the Saints. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ https://books.google.com/books?id=qoZleh9ulb0C&pg=PA14&lpg=PA14&dq=Infinite+Love.+By+By+Euboulos&source=bl&ots=haHF3VRdAZ&sig=ACfU3U1yST_5frMtBq5Rc4f8gL_yA4Vtmw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjq0bSPj_XpAhVuoXIEHVuPAKAQ6AEwAXoECAwQAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false Infinite Love: a meditation 1867 by Euboulos Basanistes
