@Leo Gura Have you met demons in your trips Leo?

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

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

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

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?

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.

^^ 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

I used to think like you untill I got more experience with girls. You have no idea how horny girls are... it's actually insane. The only thing is that they have to be stimulated into it because their sexuality don't work the same way it does for men. They are not explicit about It.. but if you know how to make a girl open up, you'll be shocked what you can evoke in them...

LOA = law of mirroring which means that you can't fake it. You attract what you are, not what you want. You thought that if you stopped focusing on the fact that you have debt, you will have less debt but what you didn't realize was that then you were focusing on having less Debt you were focusing on "DEPT" which gave you even more dept. The propor way of the law of attraction is focusing on feeling WEALTH. I say it again, WEALTHY people are not in the feeling of DEPT they are in the feeling of WEALTH and ABUNDANCE. You see the problem? Instead of focusing on your Finances and feeling wealthy, you focused on your dept and feeling poor by telling yourself " not to focus on your dept.. but what happens when you say you shouldn't focus on something? You focus on it more. That's why it didn't " work" - you didn't nurish and feel the emotion you wanted to manifest physically.

What do you mean when you say " accessed"?

How do you know you even die? Has it happened to you?

@Leo Gura That is a possibility which is why Sadhguru for example makes you go thourgh a very long and blithering process before you get intitated into Shambavi Mahamudra. It's to weed out the people that aren't serious and ready to learn the Kriya. This is also the same reason why he and a lot of other spiritual gurus are against psychadelics. He knows that they can be vary dangerous and destabilizing and that especially if it's combined with an energy transmission process and or an intense yogic practice. Sadhguru is so anal about this that you're not even allowed to eat for 5 hours before the intiation and need an even larger gap of 8 hours if you have consumed alcohol or any other drugs. The same goes for when you do the Kriya on your own. Bottom line, yes it is dangerous but that's because intiations are powerful.. Just like psychedelics. What has a possibility to transform your life can also destroy it - it all boils down to how you use it and if you're ready and capable of making use of the tool as it shall be used.

Never said a Guru would. What I was argumenting for was that initiation and energy transmission is real. I agree with you that one should be careful and take full responsibility for one's actions but that doesn't mean that the Guru can't ignite your energies and that it is BS. Two truths can be true at the same time@Leo Gura

@Leo Gura With all due respect Leo but you're wrong on this one. Energy is constantly being transmissioned and it's something you can become conciouss of. You have even said that you have got to experience being a tiger in the past on Psychedelics ( gotten to experience that same consciousness state) and the same thing can happen with a "Guru s " state of concioussness. That's what is being pointed at when they talk about initiation. ^^^ you get intiated ( getting to experience a certain consciousness for the first time) and can then choose to make that concioussness grow and intensify if you nurture it. That's what's refered to as the spark.🔥 I've both experienced the transmission and being the one that transmissions the energy. It's real and a possibility for all who wish to experience it. Don't let your bias against bhaki yoga and worship hinder you from seeing what is actually being pointed at🙏🏻

I have struggled with this for quite some time but I'm starting to get the hang of it. What it always essentially boils down to is if want it bad enough? Is it important enough? If it's not important enough yet, you will to need pendle back and forth many times untill you realize what you actually want. This is what Burning thorugh karma means. Another perspective to look at it from is that you need to be relentless in whatever you're doing. This means unwawering devotion and commitment to whatever you want to do which implies a strong why. That why can be anything though, but it needs to be grounded in something that is very important for YOU. Practice something very small and really stick to it. From that you can then apply that same discipline and emotion to other tasks in your life, like waking up early. Another question to ponder is, is it really that I want to wake up early or is there something else that waking up early allows you to feel or fullfill. Maybe you can fulfill that emotional or practical need in some other way apart from waking up early. Regardless if you want to wake up early or not - figure out why you want to wake up because that will help you develop a good reason why you want to wake up early. Good luck! @Mondsee

@RendHeaven For sure, I've been thinking about you man Miss you
