  1. It's how you define God. If God is just a belief, then it becomes another story. If God is an experience closer to how you feel when you pray but to an infinite unexplainable level, then You are God. No matter to whom you pray, you experience the same feelings. Where is God then?
  2. Desire is the want of the experience. It disappears as soon as we start experiencing what we want and reappears in another form once our mind is done with it. Desire is very much essential in the initial stages of meditation to realize that desire is the cause for suffering. Once you realize that, you would be satisfied with everything as it is, even with desire.
  3. When you look at the world, I would say it is 50% accurate. I define accuracy with how fast your mind reacts to your experience. Just a fun definition though. It gets funnier when your are able to experience things in micro seconds, when your are able to notice the 'lag'
  4. It's not about whether it's accurate or not. It's about how accurate you can get. When you get it infinitely accurate, that's when there is nothing called accurate.
  5. More than the type of meditation, the following things are important: Consistency Duration Smooth focus shift instead of abrupt shift from mind wandering to focusing object and vice versa. Skipping all kinds of energy flow in the body which are distractions and continuing the practice with focus on meditation object as long as possible with ease. Not expecting anything out of it.
  6. Please give me some cheat codes. Please.
  7. Or everything happens by accident?
  8. Experience is real. Having insights on the experience using your logical mind may or may not be real
  9. Yes, identify with thoughts when you need to survive. Don't identify with thoughts when you want to live.
  10. Can you find a reason why you are here, in this moment, perceiving through this body? If yes, then you know everything. If it's no, then you know nothing.
  11. Suicide was created by ego for long term survival. Since we are conscious enough to understand that now, and at present have enough technology within and outside to overcome suffering, suicide should no longer be an option.
  12. A fun film trailer from the land of Sadhguru. Gives a sneak peak into the culture as well! English subs available.
  13. Which feeling or emotion would you consider as the greatest or happiest or the most ideal one you can experience? When do you feel it the most?
  14. The memories which makes you an unique Javad lies in your body. You tweak your physical body and your memories change. That's all I know.
  15. That nobody knows everything. Not even the enlightened ones.
  16. Better be fully open minded than being partial, otherwise you will become another religion.
  17. Here are other wild but important reasons why specifically white hates black: 1) White color comes into picture when there is light. Humans get food only when there is light. So they hate darkness naturally and avoid it. As a side effect, people started hating darkness in skin as well. 2 ) Religions portray darkness as evil. That has naturally created a bad impression on black colour. 3 ) As many people have mentioned here, tribalism is also a big reason. 4) Using black people as slaves due to above reasons further projected an image of superiority of white over black. As @Nahm said, Love is blind, and random, to be precise. But now we are conscious enough to guide Love, so please guide it.
  18. It's all in the genetic memory. Genes drive behaviour to an unimaginable extent. All the genes left in today's world has helped humanity survive all the odds despite reigning over consciousness. Genetics was important for survival in the past and to a very small extent in the present. Now, it's time to dissolve bad karma / genetic behaviours by raising consciousness through meditation and spreading the practice as wide as possible. Now it's the time to spread love.
  19. Why do we always consider love as something different than other emotions? What makes love stand apart from its counterparts like fear, hate, anger etc. ? How is it significant spiritually? Isn't love too a result of chemicals like other emotions?
  20. Has anyone come across any human being not able to experience love at all, similar to a blind person not able to see? Then why is it called with the same name? Will try that way. Interesting! Yes, it is entirely possible. Love can be the full cup and the other emotions arise as a result of emptying it. Still, I hold it just as one of the many possibilities
  21. The only thing that makes Humans different from animals is that humans are able not to think only for themselves. They are able to go beyond survival. An amoeba doesn't care about love. Love came later in time. Survival came first. If there is no survival, there is no love. If human beings need something called a purpose, then it would definitely be love. Any purpose that is concerned with ego like success, money, fame etc. are concerned with survival of the body which is essential but not the ultimate. They came from the amoeba. They help us to carry love for a longer duration in time, because without the body, there is no self to propagate love. We need not love everything. We need not love rape, murder, hate etc. But we need to love the fact that all these were essential for the survival without which we won't even be here. They are the initial suffering we achieve similar to the suffering of a mother during birth. We cannot ignore the suffering, we appreciate it, that's a broader aspect of love. So, what do we do now? We are still in the middle of the life cycle and really don't know where we will end. So, trust your intuition first. Trust people but not believe any of them. We need to trust others, because there are some minds which are evolved much better than rest of us. Like @Dodo propagates, love is something to do better than doing nothing at all. A tree can do that. Being in the now and letting life flow is also fine, because life naturally flows towards love. If you are proof seeker, just take a look at history and see how much crimes have come down and concern for others has increased. Even in the present, we always talk about climate change, preventing rape and even saving poor animals which are no way related to our own survival. Still we need suffering because still we are not safe from meteorites, famine and not even a simple knife. Nature is cruel of course, because it doesn't know any other way, but it tries to be good, after all, just like the rest of us. That's the spark we need to carry forward for the complete experience of life. So the broader life mantra is this: Be in the present, realize the true nature of life to overcome suffering and spread love. You can also be a devil and do whatever you want , but that will affect only you at the end.
  22. Is that what they are? Opposite poles of the same thing?
