Madhur

i realised that the pain was because of my all day sitting posture, i have been spending most of my time sitting because of the lockdown and i think it could be the reason of that pain, but i started working out and also i am doing the body awareness relaxation from leos video and it is helping.

I have been introvert for most of my life but as i am growing up I'd like to break my introvert shell and be more out going and be more interactive. I don't have social anxiety, I can talk with people but I can't match the vibe of the conversation, like sometimes the other person can feel that there's something off about me and I am just forcing the conversation, so when I talk it seems that I am cringey or being creepy but in reality I am not, I think it's because I am not able to completely attune with the conversation and the people, I'd really appreciate any help about how to get over this.

If we take an atheist and ask him to do all the required practice to experience god, and say he does all the practice, will he experience the god despite of he not having faith in God ?

Imo faith should not matter if the god is absolute.

Okay I got mixed response here. Let's take a more direct approach here, let's say we ask him to take psychedelics(DMT) and exclude all the bad trips that he could experience. given that He has no faith in God & he is completely ignorant of the idea of the god, What are the chances that he would still experience the god regardless of his belief ?

@JosephKnecht

@Megan Alecia i like the idea of setting intention from the first video, setting intentions has helped me in many situation but i haven't tried it for a conversation. I am gonna do and notice how it'd go. Thank you. @kag101 enough practice of talking to people ? @xxxx thank you for the thread @PepperBlossoms I do sometimes feel like that but now i am trying to have a genuine interest in the conversation no matter what topic it is, tho i am the only one on this journey of self actualisation among my friends so sometimes it gets kinda hard to carry on with the conversation that has no value or knowledge, so I have to just pretend to be in a conversation.

@Preety_India Maybe you can Do shamanic breathing with the intention of realising stress and all the negative emotions that are bothering you. in my case whenever I am feeling low or in the state of depression and I feel like nothing right is going on, I have tried shamanic breathing, what it does for me is, it kinda put my mind into different state of condition, for a little time of day I am completely disconnected from the things that are bothering me and it also makes me feel alive & energetic regardless of whatever I am going through. Although the negative feelings keep coming back to my mind but overall my day goes relatively fine after the breathing comparing to how miserable I have been feeling before ... I think it's a fine alternative to deal with the negative emotions if you can't reach out to the professionals. I wish you get through this faster & stronger and m carry on with your life, take care.

https://youtu.be/3uS-uf4zXOs In this video it's been shown that rupert spira reffer to our simple awareness as god while swami sarvapriyananda says that that our simple awareness is reflected awareness and the pure awareness which is god is unknown. Which one is true ? and If it is 2nd case then what is pure awareness and how to access that. Also when i am doing self inquiry and i am being aware of being aware i still do feel like there is something behind my awareness, so there is sort of like two awareness, one is i am being aware of being aware awareness and the 2nd is behind or apart from the 1st awareness, while nature of 1st feels like nothing and 2nd feels like just empty space i hope that makes sense. So which one do i focus on? could it be that the 1st awareness is reflected awareness and the 2nd is pure awareness.... ?

If I am the awareness then why am I not already aware of everything ?

Your practical and mastering emotions videos: is it the research and study or the pure inner wisdom speaking ?

I am 18yo and I am 6'1'' tall, what are the chances that my height will keep growing, I don't want to get tall anymore. Is there any food or exercise that can stop my height growth ?

@Mada_ yes sir, thank you

@Akemrelax Yea I guess, I read that the height growth stops mostly between the age of 18 to 20.

@Michael569 @outlandish Yea, i am a guy...i am just afraid what if my height growth wont stop and become one of those very tall guys(7ft and over), i am already taller than any of my relatives and friends and yet i am just 18.

I guess This is typical indian version of it, it is somewhat similar to what westerns experience but it is much more scarier(they perform dangerous stunts), what do you guys think of it ?

I haven't done any psychedelics but I want to try it in future some time, I am curious if i'd have to face anything like this, should I go along? will anything happen to me ?

Seperate videos explaining all the mainstream religions. how much Truth are there in the different religions. What are some religions that are closest to the ultimate Truth with direct explanation. how to study religious scriptures to attain enlightenment and elevate our consciousness to highest level possible. What is actually true and what are some random imaginary stories, and why these false stories and beliefs are there if those scriptures contain the knowledge of Truth. • please add more questions if you have any.

Idk if it's real or fake but this type of tradition is widely spread over in indian villages (mostly backward class and Orthodox), where the locals explain it that this happens when some particular goddess enters into a human body. I think that the music playing in the back stimulate some sort of trance state cuz it some what sounds like shamanic drum music. And this is called "mata aana" in hindi language just in case if you want to see more videos on yt. Let me know what you think about it.

@soos_mite_ah Yeah I am 18 rn and I completely relate to you, what helps me go through those situation is I tend to FOCUS ON BIG PICTURE, like what this work is gonna pay out for me in long-term, and I sometimes watch Leo's classic "get yo ass inspired" video and I am good to go again haha.

I am not enlightened, neither I had any OBE, but recently I am trying to do astral travel. But.... in his enlightenment video leo said that you are nothingness aka pure transparent awareness, so I can't wrap my mind around that if there is no self then how this experiences is possible, what is actually getting out of our body if there is noself ? this thing is keep bugging me whenever I try to achieve OBE. Please enlighten me on this topic, thanks! ?

So it's just another imagination that I am(Consciousness) creating.

So is it that no self is just like a metaphor to detach ourselves from the material world to attain spiritual peace but regardless there is still "self" exists within us.

@Artsu leo said it's not philosophy, i believed in souls but after watching Leo's enlightenment videos and especially the one where he did the noself guided mediation, that video shift my belief about souls existence.... It's very difficult for me to understand that how can these both notion can exist co relatedly.

@Nahm I don't understand, I am not able to connect what you said with my question.
