You mention this a lot these days. Is there anything meditation can do that psychedelics can't from your persepctive and insight? @Leo Gura

Yeah but what's the truth and what's bullshit? You yourself have said there is a kernel of truth in everything, would you mind elaborate on the nuance? @Leo Gura

What's your opinion on following a guru. Is the path of devotion to a deity/guru a valid path? @Leo Gura

Its not the ego you that is alone. It's the absolute you. Nothing is lost - you are everywhere.

Feel it in instead of thinking about it logically

If I were you I would set up a screening process for this so that you can weed out clientes that need help with issues that are outside your domain of expertise. This both to protect you and your clients well-being. I belive these two questions are worth pondering. Where is the line? How can I effectivly communicate what I can and what I cannot help my clients with? As far as this client goes, you can't and should not try to treat the clients addiction and if your client wants your help, it need to be in the context of what you can offer - which is coaching, not therapy.

Hi there! I am currently focused on cleaning up my diet, implementing more physical exercise and improving my health overall. I am considering switching to a flouride free toothpaste but I am concerened it will affect my " mouth health".. although intuitivly, I am pretty sure flouride isn"t something good that I should put in my system. If I should switch, is there something that you guys think I should think about and do so that I protect my gums and teeth? Do recommend any specific brand? What do you say @Leo Gura based on your research and understanding? Do you use flouride free toothpaste? What's some good options?

^^ this is the limiting belief@rd5555 Why do you need to bust your limiting belief?

In my experience weed shuts down the intellect and thorugh that give access to an altered state of conciousness. You can experience crazy levels of awakening on dimensions that you never even thought was possible. The only problem is that you will not be able to make sense of it because your discriminatory mind ( intellect) is suppressed. Any conciousness gains you get in one dimension of your experience, will be lost, or for lack of a better word - evened out by your inabillity to make proper interpretations of the insights you have got. For me weed has not been useful in the practical sense, but interesting for exploring concioussness. It makes me incapable, but I gain insights that are super cool ( Eventhough I can´t understand and make sense of them). It definetly has helped me in some ways but I would not recommend it as a spritual tool due to it´s win - lose consequence. You might gain something but chances are you will realize that something else that is more important is lost. You can be without weed but not without your intellect.

@cistanche_enjoyerI would go for Sadhguru. When I got intitated online It felt like a psychedleic experience. Many people have experienced the power of his presense. He is legit. If he doens't appeal to you I would go to Neem Kaoli Babas ashram. He is still there - although he is not in physical form. You can also access him from reading books about him. I have gotten his darshan in my dreams on two occasions and it was among the best experiences of my life.

If you want Neutrality, then that's your idea of bliss. Bliss is simply feeling the best you can feel and exaxtly how you want to feel. Who wouldn't want that? That's litterly why we do everything we do.

@Leo Gura Is it related to higher dimensions of concioussness?

I think Sadhguru is on the highest level

From my experience he is legit. Shambavi Mahamudra is the most powerful tool for transformation I have come across and the initation into the process felt like a psychedelic experience. I don't know what to tell you but everything he has accomplished, his unvavering integrity and devotion and the fact that his methods actually work is enough for me to follow him. That everything is imaginary is the same as saying everything is real because imagination is reality. Just because Sadhguru is talking in terms of the dream does not mean he doesn't know its a dream. He is playing within the dream to help people wake up from it

This is amazing! Some questions (: 1: Do you do all of these practices every single day or do you alternate? ( Surya shakti, Shakti chalana kriya and surya kriya) ? 2: In what order do you do them in? 3: What has been the most transforming practice for you? p.s I strongly recommend Buddha shuddhi if you haven´t tried it already. @Anon212
