what technique are you using?

A dog's consciousness doesn't create the world anymore than a movie does.

Your comment is thoughtful. Sometimes I feel that people use the word "God" (with it's capital G) to mean "revere this thing" and I wonder if it hearkens back to a Christian upbringing in some cases even if they are using it in a Christian context. -Although in some Hinduism it is invoked. I have heard some people say Yogananda sort of package his teachinsg to appeal to a Christain raised audience. For instance: "The kingdom of God" is used. Here he says "his presence", "his" is invoked You can read some of these statements and somebody with a Christian might relate to it. Then there is the is other idea out there "you are God". I have another thread on this Interestingly nobody replied to it. If "you are God" is that different from saying "you are a person" ? Are people "God" ? But you don't hear that. Are dogs God ? Is an empty box of Cheerios God? Is everything God or only living things? If "God" is a word meaning everything then why would somebody say "you are God"? People don't say "you are everything" because it is assumed yes, pick anything you want and it's part of "everything" So why the term "God" I believe the intent is "revere this thing". Interesting I make a thread "You are God" and I also put in an interesting second post later of the sayings of Swami Vivekananda. Nobody replies. Yet when atheism is brought up some people come in and reply offended by the idea What about "the All" ? what about "oneness" ? what about nonduality? isn't this all "God" ? I would say the word "God" does not have to used to express that. When you are in a Western country "God" has a strong connotation of Judeo-Christianity even if untended. What about saying "you are everything" or "we are part of a universal consciousness" "be one with everything" "energy" etc ? - because agreeing with that is not so easy to determine. People acknowledge that if they are on a football team that are part of team, by extension we are part of the universe. Even an atheist could acknowledge parts and sum of parts. However when the word "God" is invoked there is an expectation, say "God" back or you are not part of the team, and I am expected to write it with a capital "G" Reverence for a word. Is doing that really nondual? Of course "nondualism" is another concept, another word. But it doesn't have the same sense of authority, that humble yourself quality

Christoper Langan's support of conspiracy theories, including the 9/11 Truther movement and the white genocide conspiracy theory, and his opposition to interracial relationships, have contributed to his gaining a following among members of the alt-right and others on the far-right. Journalists have described some of Langan's Internet posts as racist, and accused him of veiled antisemitism Christopher Michael Langan (born March 25, 1952) is an American horse rancher and author, who has scored extremely high on multiple IQ tests.Langan's IQ has been estimated on ABC's 20/20 to be between 195 and 210, and has been described by some journalists as "the smartest man in America" or "in the world" Langan was offered two full scholarships, one to Reed College in Oregon and the other to the University of Chicago, Langan chose the former, which he later said was "a big mistake," causing a "real case of culture shock" in the unfamiliar urban setting. He lost his scholarship because his mother did not send in the necessary financial information, so Langan returned to Bozeman and worked as a forest service firefighter for 18 months before enrolling at Montana State University – Bozeman.[11] Faced with severe financial and transportation problems, however, and believing that he could teach his professors more than they could teach him, he dropped out.[3] He took a string of labor-intensive jobs for some time, and by his mid-40s had been a construction worker, cowboy, Forest Service Ranger, farmhand, and, for over twenty years, a bouncer on Long Island.[3] He also worked for the technology company Virtual Logistix In 1999, Langan and others formed a non-profit corporation named the Mega Foundation to "create and implement programs that aid in the development of severely gifted individuals and their ideas". The organization is designated for those with IQs of 164 or above.[1][4][6] Langan has developed a "theory of the relationship between mind and reality" which he calls the "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe" (CTMU).Langan says that the CTMU "explains the connection between mind and reality, therefore the presence of cognition and universe in the same phrase".[13] He calls his proposal "a true 'Theory of Everything', a cross between John Archibald Wheeler's 'Participatory Universe' and Stephen Hawking's 'Imaginary Time' theory of cosmology".[3] In conjunction with his ideas, Langan has stated: "You can prove the existence of God, the soul and an afterlife, using mathematics."[1][4] When remarking on Langan's CTMU, American artificial intelligence researcher Ben Goertzel said, "Langan’s ideas are well worth reading and thinking about." He also says that the theory "doesn’t really justify anything resembling conventional ([i.e.] anthropomorphic) religious 'Gods'".[14] The CTMU was also reviewed by computer scientist Mark Chu-Carroll, who argued that the theory is an "ill-defined variation of naive set theory". In 2004, Langan moved with his wife Gina (née LoSasso), a clinical neuropsychologist, to northern Missouri, where he owns and operates a horse ranch and undertakes activities for his Mega Foundation.[12] Although his theory implies the existence of God and the afterlife,[4] Langan does not belong to any religious denomination, explaining that he "can't afford to let logical approach to theology be prejudiced by religious dogma". "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe" (CTMU). "When theorizing about an all-inclusive reality, the first and most important principle is containment, which simply tells us what we should and should not be considering. Containment principles, already well known in cosmology, generally take the form of tautologies; e.g., “The physical universe contains all and only that which is physical.” The predicate “physical”, like all predicates, here corresponds to a structured set, “the physical universe” (because the universe has structure and contains objects, it is a structured set). But this usage of tautology is somewhat loose, for it technically amounts to a predicate-logical equivalent of propositional tautology called autology, meaning self-description. Specifically, the predicate physical is being defined on topological containment in the physical universe, which is tacitly defined on and descriptively contained in the predicate physical, so that the self-definition of “physical” is a two-step operation involving both topological and descriptive containment. While this principle, which we might regard as a statement of “physicalism”, is often confused with materialism on the grounds that “physical” equals “material”, the material may in fact be only a part of what makes up the physical. Similarly, the physical may only be a part of what makes up the real. Because the content of reality is a matter of science as opposed to mere semantics, this issue can be resolved only by rational or empirical evidence, not by assumption alone."

nothing is imaginary though

"leftist" , there is also the connotation of leaning toward socialist. Did you watch this on youtube : " Why Sadhguru Called Himself Far More Leftist Than Others?"

I had a hunch relaity yes but boundless energy is another illusion

You are the box

what if it was in darkness and you didn't know if it was a golf ball or anything else? and it's existence would have struck you before you even considered what it was

the truth hurts

what if a rock falls on your head?

this is easier, Burmese style keep doing any of the cross legged positions to get used to the for longer periods. Switch leg orientation each time. If your legs fall asleep move them around or extend them and then return to the mediation. Then do half lotus for a shorter period (switch leg each time) - or stick with Burmese, it's not that important. Full lotus has a very solid feeling but takes months of routine. At the same time every fourth day do a chair sitting mediation so you can also extend the time period to 30-45 minutes and not worry about legs. Straight back is more important Some people like this seiza position with this Seiza bench or some use a pillow, the thighs sloping down in front of it _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Also try this Zen method a few times. You don't have to choose it but it should be tried and if if harder at first, good -- try this first in a chair and then cross legged. head is tilted down slightly. You will face a blank wall. Eyes open slightly. That's the difference, eyes open slightly for the usual duration. You may or may not like it. If you don't that may mean it's good for to overcome. Or you may like it. - something to try, not better but one method. The eyes are slightly open slits. This is to stay alert and aware not fall asleep or day dream Another method eyes open, gaze at a candle in a dark room. This is different a concentration meditation. It has it's uses. Everything try 3 times at least to test. Then stick to it for a few months or forever

what about bigfoot?

you mean a gur-you ?

Most people who argue that the Buddha wasn't interested in the nature of reality provide two examples from the Pali Canon. In the Cula-Malunkyovada Sutta (Majjhima Nikaya 63), a monk named Malunkyaputta declared that if the Buddha did not answer some questions -- Is the cosmos eternal? Does a Tathagata exist after death? -- he would give up being a monk. The Buddha replied that Malunkyaputta was like a man struck by a poisoned arrow, who would not have the arrow removed until someone told him the name of the man who had shot him, and whether he was tall or short, and where he lived, and what sort of feathers were used for the fletchings. Being given answers to those questions would not be helpful, the Buddha said. "Because they are not connected with the goal, are not fundamental to the holy life. They do not lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, calming, direct knowledge, self-awakening, Unbinding." In several other places in the Pali texts, the Buddha discusses skillful and unskillful questions. For example, in the Sabbasava Sutta (Majjhima Nikaya 2), he said that speculating about the future or the past, or wondering "Am I? Am I not? What am I? How am I? Where has this being come from? Where is it bound?" gives rise to a "wilderness of views" that do not help liberate one from dukkha (unpleasant physical or mental experiences) The Path of Wisdom The Buddha taught that ignorance is the cause of hate and greed. Hate, greed, and ignorance are the three poisons from which all suffering comes.

there must be thousands of 5 Meo and NN DMT masters out there since there are people who have used them multiple times

It depends on how confident you are in the guru

I know a little about Hindu nationalism but if you are more informed about how this relate to India let us know. Muslims are big on God so I don't see the remark relating to them. It sounded to me like a remark that somebody might make the same way in America, the idea that leftists, a lot of them are probably atheist, that is the assumption. How much does Sadhguru like Prime Minister Modi? Some people speculate that Sadhguru might try to run for political office How similar are Indian "leftists" similar in India to American and European leftists? this is going off topic I don't want to get into it in too many posts so I won't post the video but Sadhguru has an interesting video called " Why Sadhguru Called Himself Far More Leftist Than Others?", in youtube (it's sort of a trick title)

No the numbers are not going to help you, you will have to face yourself. Write don't the number on a piece of paper and then burn it , that's delusion. It has no power. What you are describing , the rollercoaster. this is not the type of consciousness that you need. Before you go to bed say " give me stability" 50 times and as you say it write it. This is not anything magical. It is self hypnosis. When you awake again. This is the stability you need before elevating your consciousness. Several days of this, lets' say 5. Does the number 5 mean anything? Not at all it could be six. You could could say the 49 times or 51. The numbers don't matter. The concept matters, balance and stability, dedication to it. Put consciousness out of your mind. That will rise naturally once you have the stability. And what if you feel the rollercoaster again? Return to the stability. "Give me stability" . This is a demand to the self. It takes repetitious tedium for the subconscious to finally accept it. This is an exercise to maintain. You will gain strength by this. And stay away from unstable people, that will only make you lose footing. Decide what you want and don't listen to the mind's foolishness. What if eleven comes into you mind again? Fine, say "foolishness" if it comes up. These thoughts they come an they go. That is just background noise. Decide what you want, Write it, say it. Everything must have a solid foundation. Mystifying numbers is magical thinking. It's for children and psychics trying to sell or manipulate.

On aspect to this is if you use mindfulness meditations techniques these are not intended to produce psychedelic type experiences. They are supposed to produce high states of awareness and clarity - and accidentally one might sometimes have a hallucination. This is regarded by many Buddhists as makyō a momentary delusion, a distraction. Not something bad but something not especially significant. However if you wanted to meditate and have hallucination states that can be induced by with different meditation techniques and physical body methods.

Walkingstick 111 454 subscribers ***Update***: I no longer work with Dr.Gerardo Sandoval and highly recommend doing your due diligence in researching and finding an appropriate facilitator. One year after a very intense, dramatic experience filmed for Vice TV, I found myself back in the Sonoran Desert and on the launch pad, to both face some fear, immense power and a high level of surrender. Big thanks to Dr.Gerardo Sandoval, Martina and Stepan for taking care of me during my journey. And thanks to Mother Nature for providing this medicine and the amazing setting. Thanks to Lucie Havlínová for filming this experience in its entirety. I have worked with Dr.Sandoval-Isaac on several occasions and highly recommend him as a guide, I literally trust him with my life, luckily I've not been let down. That being said, it is important to remember that the medicine itself is the real star. The doc is there to facilitate and support, the rest is up to you and the medicine. Surrender is key. The medicine is so powerful and my surrender so complete that my physical body gets tossed around. It is surprising to me that the vocal response is always "Ayayayayayayayaa", is this my battle cry? The following describes what I'm feeling around the 9:00 minute mark: I am at the peak of the experience in terms of absolute bliss, the sky is blooming and I'm seeing something so incredibly beautiful, I'm part of it. Beyond fucking words. I feel the presence of everyone and everything together. I feel like we all just experienced something incredible together. We have merged. We are ONE! I couldn't even see the actual people around me and was unaware of my physical movements. There was some turbulence before I got to this point, but when I arrived and got hold of the power, I was rewarded to the core of my existence. PURE LOVE. I've felt it with every particle of my being. It is real and with me always

It's one of the main Thereveda Vipassana techniques usually called "noting" , Burmese method of mindful meditation This is no more boring and tedious than many other sitting meditation methods. The harder, like push ups, the more development, with consistent routine, building mental self awareness "muscle". for instance having to deal with boredom and any unpleasantness that might arise, negative thoughts, physical discomfort, external sounds-distractions. And often interspersed with feelings of tranquility and peace, all of these things which naturally rise in the mind and then learning not to cling to any of them, they rise and then fall, noting this "labeling" it disappears a pause of nothingness and something else rises, then falls. This leads to awareness and clarity becoming aware of the minds automations and emotions begging for attention. However If one becomes attracted to enraptured sensory experiences, sometimes with a shamanic guide, ritual music, body movements, in some cases hallucinogens then we can predict what may happen when someone then returns to mindful meditation, sitting still, it could become that much more "boring" in contrast. The question becomes can one deal with one's own demons when there are no other worlds to escape to? It's not easy.

How long have you had the Tiger avatar ?

The above is not the famous "Sadhguru" that most people know (he spells it with an "h") "Sadguru" means true guru. Other gurus also use it attached to their full name The above is the contents of a book by the other guru l already mentioned who died in 1936 Siddharameshwar, his book Master Key to Self-Realization.

The talks in this book were recorded and edited by Nisargadatta Maharaj and were originally published by him in two volumes in the Marathi language under the name of "Adhyatma Jnanacha Yogeshwar" in the years 1960 and 1961. The text was reprinted in the year 2000 at the insistence of Shri Ranjit Maharaj. Afterwards it was translated into English for this book, truly a modern day spiritual classic in its own right. Also included within the covers of this book is the text "Master Key to Self-Realization" which was authored by Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj in the form of a methodical explanation of many fundamental principles of Advaita Vedanta and Self-Realization.
