Good, then you absolutely need to be angry and triggered, i think he is doing a great job then. If i don't need my post, why bother responding? Potentially A LOT of people in the future? Hello? Maybe actualized too? If Leo gets enlightened? And grows? And i don't think Nithyananda is a billionare, but a millionare, just like Sadhguru, Sri Ravi Shankar, Baba Ramdev? Sure maybe they don't personally claim the wealth, but the organistions have to be worth millions??? Hmmmmmm? https://medium.com/@tomarryash14/top-5-wealthy-india-gurus-and-their-net-worth-7e681efed452 How do you know, if you haven't even entertained his teachings? You should ask his devotees, or try his teachings GOD FORBID. Here, i will even give you a technique. The probablility of you even trying to entertain something you don't agree with is laughable to me. Instead you will just put more exposee videos. But this thing saved my life and chaged it the most. The difference between me and you is that i actually did the technique and seen the benefits. That is how i gained trust for him. What a wonderful world it would be if people would come and ask me about my life than hearing about my life from other people and making assumptions or even acting because of what other say about me LOL. Yes because many more people agree with Sadhguru and he says things more logically, you like him, sure. About the "good things", time will tell, lets see. Who knows, i can def say for sure, he helped me when i needed it the most, and with the simplest things also, I just had to execute the teachings and thats basically it. No drama for me whatsoever. Does it work or not is the question? Well, your mind will change many times. And, this is a perfect oppurtunity to use your self-inquiry mechanism. Answer me, why would you not want to just go and practice what he teaches and look for what others say and throw me any exposee video of his on my face? For an extended period of time maybe, before you reach conclusions? Do you feel like you have something to lose? Do you fear what other people will think of you? Are you affraid he will manipulate you and do some harm to you? If not, why is it? If you keep listening to other people, before trying it out yourself, is that a succesfull life? Yeah by that logic you will have as mediocre results as the masses have. If Leo listened to people around him, before trying anything in self-dev, we wouldn't be arguing today. Even the people who wrote the books that he read, A HUGE MINORITY SAYING COUNTER-INTUITIVE THINGS. These people exposing Nithyananda could be politically motivated and some just an average gamer who seeks to justify his worldview and make a good buck, like this guy, who already saw an exposee on Nithyananda and just joined the club of exposees. Or i am just a little innocent bla bla bla *LoGiCaL aNd RaTiOnAl GuY tAkInG pSyChEdElIcS, hE iS oUt Of HiS MiNd* type of guy? Btw, the fact that you are listening to ONE sadhguru, rather than a million capitalists is because of the quality of the individual. When Sadhguru says, yes dhyanalinga will make you lose the sense of time, yes some tantric lived for 4000 years, his last three lifetimes Sadhguru was a yogi. So what exactly makes it false what he is saying? How will you verify it whatsoever? If you ask Sadhguru and he says "Yeah, I can see that being done..." then you will think, this is true, or even if "Sadhguru will say that, I don't think its possible" - which is not the case, because he is a yogi, and he can check. Just like he checked how fast life will end when the water freezes on the planet after sun dies (18 hours btw or something like that). But suppose he said that its not possible, does it still make it impossible? How do we know, really? I feel there is a dead end coming to your argument very soon, oh oooh. He goes there almost EVERY TIME, every day this talk increases. It's just more menced for you to like it. How is this different to ANY spiritual guru whatsoever. If Sadhguru says levitation is possible, he is just enriching people and make them interested in his programs, when Nithyananda does it, he is a fraud, because he already triggered enough, because he is sitting on a throne, to trigger you, and he is doing a great job of that acctually. Nothing is life (physical existence) is absolute, perfect e.c.t., you can't act and live perfectly, you can't have a good image by doing good things even, somebody will go aginst you, just to fuck with you or for whatever reason. That applies to spiritual gurus too btw. I would even say Nithyanandas rendition of Hinduism is more accurate than Sadhguru's, he teaches from the hindu scriptures and various sutras and so on... Levitation is liteally in the scriptures, so is that vocal chords and so many other crazy things. I know for a fact that Sadhguru has taken criticism from Nithyananda and has responded, by answering to some issues indirectly. I am not going to name those but it is funny that everybody is afraid to associate with Nithyananda. It will get even funnier when Nithyananda will eventually reach more people and i wonder what Sadhguru's reaction will be. Sadhguru talks about many great sages, but somehow misses the avatara that is Nithyananda. I think it is fear of persecution. Hinduism is acctually very beautiful - not that crap after the brits left. Look at hindu architecture. Golden thrones are nothing compared to this... I just can't do anything but wonder what various purposes these have. Btw Sadhguru also talks in DEPTH about telmples and their significance. Of course what you will do is you will throw more exposee vids and justify that Nithyananda is a fraud and sadhguru is not, while they are talking about the same things. -

Sorry to scratch your bubble of reason and clout. This post was exactly for you then. At some point you will have to look stupid, even for the sake of searching truth. I am willing to do that and give him a chance. So far, no regrets. -
Applegarden replied to Chi_'s topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Good point, the sincerety of the disciple, wether following a guru or not in my opinion does. What I mean by this is that his willingness to know, get out of his cunningness, and action towards being more receptive to it in right combination for each of us individually, in my opinion, will. The saint can be a tool for you. -

Ahh, i tough you had some genuine criticism of him, because, you know, you have studied stage turqouise and criticized many other teachers for valid reasons and i could see you criticising him, and it could be valid. Anyway, he is a very hard working man. Good to have your own opinions. It might be very controversial for me to say that, because i openly endorse people like Nithyananda (and pretty litetally too). I respect you for not expressing black and white criticism on gurus from media exposees and somebody calling them fraud and acctually pointing to various factors, for example like in your spiral dynamics stage turqouise video (At least that is my impression of you and ofc it could be wrong and its fine if it is not true). -

Don't you think this phenomenon is really good that it's happening? It is literally contributing to your vision also. Why so sarcastic may I ask? -
Right, but isn't there like a more basic aspect to handle most of the hormonal regulation in the body? Like a healthy diet with thr right frequency?

Applegarden replied to Chi_'s topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Wow, i am glad for Logan for using his platform to bring people to truth. Massive, massive, massive respect and of course timeless reverence for our OG sadhguru. Its really a miracle that he didn't decide to leave the body after conscetrating dhyanalinga and tryharding into contributing to the people. -
Applegarden replied to Preety_India's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Yeah, that stuff for sure messes with your hormones, definately makes you pick up and put down things with more enthusiasm. The moment i started listening my hair started falling off and hair started growing in places i never experienced before (yikes), still waiting for a proper beard though, can't promise that from my experience, really. -

@K Ghoul My senses are telling me you could be a metalhead, huh? -
@shallotsometimes Sometimes envy comes yes, but i wanted to throw some light upon the subtlety of it, you know. But as i am reflecting, it seems like vanishing. Quitting social media also helps. @Origins Yeah, i would like to live by the 3rd scenario, everything unecessary just falls off. @Username I feel you buddy. Thanks Leo, I am acting to designing as we speak as i am on 37/90 topics of life purpose course and it is a breath of fresh air, i acctually had to stop because i am developing action plans on nutrition and the whole music thing i want to do and how its going to fit with spirituality. And your last video made me stop everything for a sec and just sit there. Yes, I would benefit from meeting girls and i acctually feel pretty confident and that is due to the self-reflection i am doing, however i am sure there is abyss of leakage of termoil in me when approaching, and I have in fact never approached anybody, however the 95% of my anxiety around people has just vanished. In short, thanks man, for everything. And btw i still think Actualized.org can become a billion dollar industry, but after you do the AMA for 1 mil subs. @evgn I feel very similar, its like a pattern. @mandyjw Thank you very much! I feel that in time it will vanish. @Gesundheit There is a good saying, everything happens for the sake of our auspiciousness. So the problem is the solution for the inauspiciousness. I didn't really think i will come back to comment, as I wanted to distance myself from posting in here, but i wanted to thank you for your integrity and intention to help.

Let me tell you a story and ask for you advice: Guys, i have a confession to make. I never tought somebody will have such a subtle impact on my life. I have had my fantasies, immaginations curiosities about other people (women) in my life, however this one is really the strongest of them all. It always has been going on for years literally. It started sometime 2017 and is reocurring until this day. I was one day looking trough the people whom i remembered went to my school and i saw one girl i remembered is playing piano. And i tought hmm, she plays music and has grown well, cool, i really resonate with that, altho i don't speak the timbers of piano and that language is not so attractive to me as i really like distorted metal guitar sounds, you know. Then i started to google her name (starts with K) from time to time, i guess i was bored or smth... Of course she is very attractive and all that. And i kinda wanted to write her, but i didn't know what would i write. So i wrote her asking do you know any teahcers that could coach me with my guitar playing and compostion? And of course, she ignored. Then i tried to write again some time later (after a whie), same reaction. I got somewhat upset at being rejected, as expected, you know. And i guess it's fine. I feel complete now however, i don't really care if she did not respond. But for some reason this attachment is there, for over 2 years. Thoughts are coming up about her, desire to peek into her life comes up. Honestly I don't want any of that. It's not like i can't deal with my monkey mind with meditation, but i am wondering why is it two years of toughts coming up about her. I wan't to proceed and do a tought experiment with this. Now... Scenario 1; Suppose i am getting toughts about her and sometimes randomly a picture of her pops up in my mind. Lets hypotetically assume that she is thinking about me. Of all people, why me? There is really nothing much going for me at the moment. I live with my mom, i have a bit of bank balance, work in a blue collar work, don't have a car, haven't had a girlfriend, lacking a purpose in life but exploring it. Musically speaking i am close to nothing compared to her in terms of formal education. Its her job and honestly, good for her, really. But it has brought an envious vibe, especially after she ignored me, i really got jelous that she is supposedly doing what she wants, not only that, she is very beautiful and alot of visible qualities that just about any millenial would want. It almost gives me the impression she is on top on her life and i feel so lost. About that, i know, nobody is really happy no matter what they have unless they are actively purifying themselves, but thats a different topic altogether... So she could be thinking about me, now what? It could be my own constructed delusion. Or even if its my intuition speaking, there is no practical outcome for conversation, because i got ignored, right. Best case outcome, she is peeking at me while i am peeking at her. Still there is nothing valuabe to this. Scenario 2; She could have some craving for me in an intimate or non-intimate way. She has a ring on it firstly, and she has so somebody so much better probably, it is comical to me why she would be attracted to me and i don't want to entertain this notion. And speaking about me, yes i do feel secure, but i am not too pretty and not very hygenical. But don't mind how i look i guess. I am not good at male-female interaction, but i guess i do have my character. And i am not experienced in any intimacy, let alone, a physical one. So i don't think i am desirabe in societies standards, i am almost like the opposite, more like an outcast and comformist type of person. I don't have huge material success or image and no social life really, which is okay for me. But regardless, lets suppose that we meet somehow and something happens. There is just nothing good that would happen except a friendship. Sure, i mean its ok, but why do i have to project so much deluson or lust towards her? Why is this important that toughts of her come up daily? I even see her in my dreams. Usually talking, and then she randomly decided to leave the conversation. Sometimes i get strong lust for her and some fantasies come up; honestly i don't think i want to experience that. But you know the human vehicle is pretty irrational and i guess its ok, i can take care of it just fine. Scenario 3 It is all my own delusion. OK, good, but why am i deluding myself so much? Whats the point, It is affecting my productivity and creativity. Honestly i just want to forget about her and avoid her at all cost, not even googling her when the intention comes, so it loses power over me. Sometimes it becomes really tense that i feel unable to do anything but to sit and reflect on it so it goes away. Maybe i am just at the peak of my libido, since i am doing nofap. I don't think i could last long also btw. And i don't think i would be good in bed. I guess i will just wait for it to end and keep turning my focus on something else. I feel like need for validation is responsible for this or wanting to be desired. Usually thats our reaction to stress - wanting to be desired and wanting to be sexually desired especially. I am sure i will find a way to solve this in the future, because there are intrinsic experiences that outcompare any tought or feeling, so its not like this is torturing me. Okay so, whats the solution? You will probably say: Go out and meet more people; Chord cutting; Meditate more; Create a life purpose and sink yourself into that; Change your eating habits; Do pick-up; Unclutch and ignore, until it loses power over you; Exercise and release that energy; Don't overthink about it; Or something else you want to suggest... So my love life is like an empty closet and there is not much i would like to change about it for now; But what is my mating strategy if i need one? I don't think i want a spouse at all, however if i feel like i have to, i will just keep working on my life purpose and keep enhancing my life. Life purpose meaning - really working on few music skills and composing and producing some cool mateial and going to jams with people, maybe finding a band, or finding a musical spouse. I feel personally there are aot of benefits in my life for that. And i am sure there are some people out there like that, i just need to keep practicing and expressing so i attract these people. Something like that i guess. What do you think about this? What would you suggest? It would kinda suck a bit if she found out about this, but i guess fuck it, vulerability is strength and i hope this falls of me one day.

This article from "Minerals and Trace Elements" literally says: "Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world, often affecting women and young children, and is found in the UK population too." It is just mindbreaking for me as a vegetarian. Every boomer, almost every one of my peers asked me about my heme-iron source and possibility of deficiency because of not consuming meat... Meanwhile, a large population with meat eaters have the same problem. Hm (big intense thinking emoji). Maybe it's because our diet is completely shit and nobody keeps track of anything and the ones who do can't get access to objectively true sources with minimum researching effort. Not to mention that we eat with our emotion, not to survive. Huge bruh moment for me, kinda obvious, but now its just... I shouldn't take any health advice from my peers or collegues at work, because they eat the food that work provides them to eat (70% meats and carbs with processed salad), some of them smoke, alot of them have stomaches, vision problems, chronic diseases and like to snack and eat snacks at work and eat before sleep. And EVERYBODY is an ocassional and some even a daily drinker (beer sipping before sleep) Nobody is really even striving for health, maybe when it gets really bad. Period. Link to the article: https://www.nutrition.org.uk/nutritionscience/nutrients-food-and-ingredients/minerals-and-trace-elements.html?showall=1&limitstart=&__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=86d0280e864af4146378dab61dc102fa13123142-1601753375-0-ATF8TvkUfgQ7LKeal4a05hOPs5t-6JPbv-_MTdU5p0nID4mjeK0-p2J1_LetcXNtzanWyAozybGpsLOvHLlO5tNNa5PSN-sJ59R95ANPNkoKeY94na9a0sEOreIIJJ4hZ9Xo826zzWJdzWnWGqqhOx0KkhqcmjatAoIAF1VRjNpbzpIzkBhgQKCPLaY1AIf0rkObFPVVY9VXfpVxbPPJ059-GeGpp_kELzPTu12O1aeUHAeczBAMX3n5HsFjhZ7UwECf40ewo4TU88K-iQz7GbxAuXpFVkEOdc5_9ihIhr4VtAI7M0XzBoqVACRKVSkCywOneY3-BdGjDe2e1wifgqFnTEUi3IcUTHYCgXrGXFhX7b01567B8Hfvyop4DFf8X9W7N8mryODzzEUebepO19auTweNuaIIZGXt4iZ57I5rZk0_Z5kvPl5RRbzjw0FmQr8P4ju_WhJpd5gzrePse4k

How will you survive winter? What if your van gets ambushed or a traffic accident with your van happens? What if you get really sick and have no work insurance? Techincally with alot of free time, yes you really can, however. Working, saving up and then either qutting working for long periods would be slower and much safer way. But with mindfulness and more experience, anyway you are going to grow. But there will be more potential for distractions for sure. I admire wanting to act upon that fire which burns within you. I almost want to do that too...

I would say these spontaneous talks from people like Osho, damn he says something else every time and it is meaningful.

Not just that, assaulted or even being treathened, even a possibility of such a thing. Even letting a new person (males usually) in is a challenge, gotta pass the fear test.

Well i don't think i needed to say what you qouted, you could just respond. Anyway, what i meant is that the bar in society is set where people worry about their agenda and the agenda of their friends and family (blue, green) so it takes some self reflection to start understanding other people's point of view and their agenda, and of course such people are a minority and feel displaced. Otherwise why do women spend so much time on beauty and significantly more on diet/fitness? Because their intetest is to apper as attractive as possible, so she can choose, isn't it so? I feel like this is evolutionary biology 101. Of course and the more life-experience and self reflection, the different the criteria for a mate. It is culturally influenced, because naturally women spend more time with women and men spend time with men in a lifetime. Of course with exceptions and possibility of change for individuals. It is MAINLY influenced by culture, if the culture is with alot of blindspots and very materualistic, the individuals will be very survival, biology motivated, if its conscious and spiritual society (unfortunately we haven't seen that) those values will be far from lust and fear - which is what drives our survival instincts. Please don't underesrimate working on emotional intelligence in mass. Person who underestands his emotions is a different human being altogether. If we had a million echart tolles in one place, how would it be governed? How will that society function. What attractive values would be in terms of dating? Very very different.
-
Because if you desire a girl and society has a standard that you should initiate, she doesn't even have to think about challenges you face attracting her. She is more worried about how to be attractive.

Yeah approx 2 bil people are iron deficient. And B12 too, wow, that comes as somewhat of a shock to me. The problem is i even graduated food production, i am supposed to be somewhat familliar with nutrition. I even have the conspects in my texbook about various topics on biochemistry. Still, somehow, in this uninspiring education i become ignorant of this... And the "advice" from other people comes like an attack or an insult of: "How dare you eat differently than me!?" Or that i should be eating this or that, because i read something somewhere or some popularity appeal argument.
