I second this @Leo Gura

You are wrong on this one @Leo Gura Shambhavi that you learn in Inner enginering put me into a state very similar to Ayahuasca during the initiation. I do it daily and reach blissfull states everytime. It is very powerful. I get what you mean by the videos in inner engineering, they can be experienced as extremely tedious and basic. I am not talking about them The actual Kriya yoga that you learn in the end (That is now included in the program from the beginning) is a very powerful energy process. I know you haven't tried it because you thought it wasn't worth to buy the extension of the program (Which you had to do back then) and that is totally fair given your experience but don't poo poo Shambhavi when you haven't experienced it. It goes against everything you have thought us regarding that direct experience is king. If I were you, which I am ~ I would give it another chance Try it out for yourself before discarding it.

It's not Zeroguy that is alone, every other charachter exsists. It's just that every other character also is you. It's not bittersweet. You are mistaking your ego being alone and you as God being alone. You are not alone, we are all in this together - We are all alone together. We are all God.

@Wintermute My story: I found Leo when I was 16, meditation when I was 18 and discovered psychedelics when I was 22. Psychedelics gave me a lot. It changed how I saw reality permently. Unfortunatly they didn't make me happy and fullfilled though. I had amazing experiences but I was still the same - they didn't actually transform my inner being. In fall 2022 I am very depressed, this despite my enlightment experiences. I decide to dedicate myself to the inner engineering program and actually follow it. (I had gone thorugh the program before but didn't follow thorugh) During this intiation ( Shambhavi mahamudra) I experienced states that are similar to what I experienced that same year on Ayehuasca. It was from that experience that I realized Sadhguru is my guru and I have since then not missed a single day of my Sadhana. I do Sadhana for around 2 - 2:30 hours each day and it's slowly transforming everything about me and my life. At certain periods my Sadhana is 4 hours + each day. My life is Isha, my life is Sadhguru ~ because that's the highest path I have found in my direct experience.

Sadhguru already claims that. I don't know if Spira would claim that. It feels like Spira is more " realize that there is only One and there exists no master but yourself" and Sadhguru is more like " I am the path, become me and you will be everything. They have different styles but in the end it's all concioussness and different paths work for different people. @Carl-Richard

Sadhguru Yes, Spira No

I haven't been to any Spira retreat personally but if one goes there and experience that it raises their concioussness, then it raises their concioussness and it's not a difference in that sense. Concioussness doesn't discriminate - there are many paths. It's hard to say what is more powerful though and that can only be discovered by direct experience. For me Sadhguru's teachings is the highest but he is not the only highest path. It's very much possible Spira also can lead people to enlightment and blissfull states. I have had peak experiences similar to Ayahuasca during an intiation done by Sadhguru and states higher than extsascy after doing his practices. It's possible Spira can lead you to those states aswell but since I haven't experienced it, I don't know. @Elliott

I use Sadhguru and his videos all the time. Listening to Sadhguru and music related to Isha raises my concioussness. I've felt energies from him and his consecrated yantras that Isha sells during psychedelic trips and connected to them and Sadhgurus energy many many times when I am sober aswell. He is legit. @Carl-Richard

@Leo Gura What psychedelics will you use?

@Something Funny It's Sadhgurus course. Life changing stuff

Do inner enginering. It will do you a lot better than the book

Shambavi mahamudra

Please be careful. I did LSD once right after kriya yoga and activated my kundalini by mistake. Was awake for 48 hours running around in my apartment because I couldn't fall asleep.

Both. Inner enginering is not free. He has a lot of amazing free meditations in his apps "Sadhguru" and "Miracle of mind". He also has hundreds of videos on youtube with satsangs and other videos where he give advise. I do both some of his free meditations and also some that I paied to learn. If you want to check out some of his teachings I would reccomend "Isha kriya" and chit shakti. There are 4 different chit shakti meditations ( Love, peace, success and health) . They are all avalible for free on the Sadhguru app. I do the success one and isha kriya everyday together with my other practises.

Yes. I have been doing kryia yoga and other type of Sadhana everyday for more than a year now. Words can't explain what it has done to me. I strongly recommend Sadhguru's teachings and inner enginering If you haven't looked into it already. It's a goldmine🙏🏻
