I will reach 28 years and I feel like I am yet to mold my life into something. I do not worry about being old, I just need to figure out how to live cheaply and most healthy. Then I feel that I have some juice to create what I want. Yet I can't wait when I will die. There will be no more of this. No point to take another birth (for me at least). Only thing is left to enjoy whatever nonsense here is. What will you do when there is no body and no identity to have, of course that feels way different than having a life experience, if you ever have sat relaxing from your identities you will find out that you are bliss itself.

Are you trolling for real? If you don't agree with the teachings, why to join? I don't think you realize that you will constantly be repressed by the ideas told to you which you know are not worth believing in on a regular or even daily basis. This is like a mental suicide. Idk man. Immagine not knowing what to do in life and for some reason picking up a jihad even though not agreeing with their idea which you will have to follow because you joined. Or waste 40 years in a bhuddist monastery even though you don't believe in the core idea proposed to you and you don't see the truth in it. I feel this post is so insincere, mediocre and childish. For your innermost belief of reality you are going to substitute it with something you think is dogma... 10/10 300 IQ trolling dude. -

I have had experience with kriya yoga. It's very worth doing. I have encountered two types of kriya yoga. One form is like putting your body in certain shapes another is to work on your past memory and trauma to burn your karmas. Both have different effects that tend to overlap. 2nd type feels more contemporary and simpler for the western mind. 1st is more traditional like tapas. I have not taken LSD, but I don't believe it has the effects that you get from kriya yoga, especially the mental clarity and stability aspect. -
I don't know. Same as for a woman who doesn't sleep around. I guess I would like to have more certainty of commitment from the one who doesn't. I think the behavior between both are distinctively different and you would cater to one who you like more.

There are still degrees of participating in corruption of the government as there is levels of integrities in relationship. For example if you sort out trash, if you give the stuff you don't need to charity, if you don't gamble, drink, smoke and try to preserve a healthy veg lifestyle, support local production or culture by financing them and the people you vote for matters if you live in a democracy etc. as opposed to those who actively cultivate corruption and harm everyone including themselves by taking bribes and agreed contracts and participate in exploitative industries. Yes, nobody is free from corruption for whatever reason. But that does not mean we have to ignore that and always indulge in that. Then you turn your life into a lie. And you are bound to participate in all of that. Life is about the direction you are heading not where you are now. The principle is simple, the tendency and frequency to cut corners. You can find literally eny excuse. Bottom line is that for things to happen genuinely there is tremendous amount of grudgerous things to do. When it comes to relationship. The same logic applies. If your actions and words contradict each other to a degree that is too much for your liking, you have a problem. I personally think that people are not idiots. Their best potential is just sleeping in themselves. I didn't get the best idea of you comment also, btw. Why should he care? Depends on the person. If he is not that attached to sex and he is interested in other areas of life he is not just interested in sex. Why people are so hooked to sex is another different topic which is also why so many people's genius never expresses itself. So many people don't have that space to sit and think by themselves and contemplate life because they can't get over their immediate desires and think this is what life is. There you get the quality of people who don't care about a person.

I think it's like being with a dude who is on top of a shady crypto scheme or is a high end corrupt politician or shady business man or a person involved in a mafia. Would you want to get into that? What do you value? There are negatives visible in those people's behavior. They are not simple people. If they are exploiting some area in their life for monetary gain why wouldn't they do that to you? Do you expect them to appreciate you for who you are and treat you differently? I will not give you any answer, but just think about it. For example there are ideas that tell you, talk to people like they are idiots. Now, how this idea will affect your life and all your relationships if you implement that? Is love and to what degree, if at all, possible for that person?

I think porn is unhealthy for the most part. From one point it's like an exploitative get rich quick scheme that targets our basic desire and because of that influence many things between men and women don't click due to misalignment from that very exploitation. People don't have that much sex also. Period. No pun intended tho. I like that I quit jerking off.

Maybe reading this can calm you down.

You are craving your own path. You are looking for solutions in your lifestyle to have more energy and capability for what you want to do. You feel more agitated wasting time with people who don't resonate with you, but you can't tell them why. You feel guilty about the past coping strategies and addictions you have today and try to change them. And then there are people who will exploit you. This post is about them. If you are going in a direction that is different from most people, meaning you don't value things like having the best paid job or the best carreer, having a lot or things or even having children or having a spouse or as extreme as seemingly doing nothing. Your activity on your life purpose have drawbacks and you need some extra time to cope, contemplate, rest or to sit for a long time with a pen and paper. You will also notice that grown adults act like children in their personal life and it will affect you, and project whatever they will project to you. They have all the possibilities to reform just like you are doing. Very quickly they will not underestand you and subject you to bullying. And that can be about anything. The food you eat, "what are you doing", you are stupid, what are you doing with your life, I don't underestand you, you should have done this or be like this, you should be ashamed of yourself, you are not a real man, you are harming people with your actions, you should just quit etc., you won't be able to do this so why try. So, how to deal with this? There is not a fast an easy solution to this problem. But there is a solution. Surrounding yourself with like minded people, it can also become a trap, but once in a while a fresh take is very good. Becoming more health oriented and minimalistic to see that your positive beliefs about life applied provide the results you are looking for and it's a solution to low self esteem. Meditation and spirituality really taught me a lot. I trust myself like never before and it helps not to feel lonely etc. Reaction to an insult like "you are stupid" or "what are you doing" which triggers fear of missing out and leaves you thinking that they have it better than you that's why they are criticizing you, this is not true, this is just not true. If they really had it better they would be ignoring you. They have an insecurity that after they went after society told them to do, they achieved that and still are insecure. The truth is that in life different kind of people exist who are hardwired for different things, therefore it is only normal that somebody lives a very minimalistic and simple life, somebody doesn't want to have children or somebody wants to be a high achiever etc. Why do you need to feel guilty about how you really feel? Spend time and refine, extract, center those feelings and act on them, you will find out that you are going to be more happy and relaxed once you find out some of the long term desires you have. "You are stupid or dumb or idiot or incompotent or not yet fully grown or not a real patriot, man, woman, professional or something, something" Why can't I be stupid? Just read your contries constitution and tell me where you have to not be stupid in there. Meanwhile you will find out that their abuse is not constitutional and you are fine as you are. You have to be a bit stupid to try something new, do something without expecting an outcome, you have to be stupid to fail, or you are bound to be "smart" and project your anger and guilt and live like your mother or father figure told you for the rest of your life and hate it and the life in the process. Why they are projecting their anger because they are diseased with it. They don't know what to so with it so they vomit it on to you uncontrollably. So if you are reflecting, you are over these people, just close the gap and complete your efforts so that in few years you will laugh at those criticisms, because you see because they uttered this projection, they are uninformed about their own cognition and they really don't know better. "You should be like this, you should do like this" in your private life. Now if a person who constantly abuses you, projects their anger to you... just stop and think about this. A person who is angry at you and saying that you should change for his demand. Is this person interested in your well being? If this person is saying the same thing over again, has he internalized the problem he is expressing? Why he does not like, just because he doesn't like or he is envious or insecure? If he is uncontrollably mad when he just thinks about you, is this person competent at telling you what to do with your life? Can you look at him and tell what is a good thing about his life? Is he peaceful? Is he fit is he smart is he self reflective? Does he have the qualities you want? Do you think he thinks and applies a larger vision for people? Can this person really help you in the state he is? If he is screaming at you passively aggressively or directly; has he spent time thinking about a model and applying it to make the society better? Does he look beaten and given up at life? Does he have an ideology he is very invested in and all of his values come trough that ideology? Can he entertain other ideologies and hold contradicting ideas? I am certain, the answer is no. But if you have a greater desire you are following, you have done it more than them. You are just a little confused that you have to listen and accept these people. Just internalize these questions instead and ask the most meaningful ones to you to yourself when you receive any kind of life advice which is forced on you or life advice in general. You don't even need to say anything most of the time. You don't need a revenge. You need to work on our life purpose and the critical points to make sure to reduce the risk of them harming you. Generally speaking you can and should ignore them. Evaluate for yourself and see. They are not capable of giving a good life advice for you. They can't even be compassionate. They are too insecure about their life. I have seen so many inherently dysfunctional and abusive adult relationships where people lie, virtue signal to each other, are constantly angry at each other, manipulate and barter for some "intimacy" for their whole life. And these people will give you "quality" advice? The more I live the more I think that life experience is not just the time spent on this earth but a combination of refinement of your cognition, emotional flexibility, clarity of vision in a mix with time spend on this earth. Some people don't need to get into decades of abusive relationship or addiction to underestand that it's bad for them, however it more nuanced, but please evaluate what to take from this.

I think the point is not productive at all. Knowing you have limited time and resources in this life, better look for the few things that work and implement. You already gave yourself reasons not to try new stuff out idk man. And there has to be a part of some of the teachings that could acctually be true. -
This is fine but revolutions are voluntary is what I will say to you. Peaceful systemic change (even with conflicts here and there) requires incredible, incredible amount of work. People also want to work and live there, that tells something to me at least. If you have better system, please, implement it. Paying or not paying for people's labor has nothing to do with spirituality, it's an ethical/moral question. There are good reasons I named in my comment prior. I am sorry that you think it’s useless. With all the applied models of systems thinking I am surprised to hear it's an useless exploit. I am really sorry to hear.

Very "normie" criticism. Just like saying no amount of enlightenment will save you from staring at a pair of big breasts or whatever. Bro, their quality of life and life experience is orders and orders of magnitude better than you. They are where they are because nobody has invented an infrastructure so that they could have been better, only ignorant naysayers saying like in this quote. You will fall sick and want sex (especially if you are pursuing celibacy where it will be the hardest to abstain from sex, but the benefits you will never know), so don't pursue enlightenment and start drinking and gambling? This is so funny, they are far more evolved and know what to do with their life and after all if they die it's definitely not bad for them experientially.

This is the most unreasonable criticism coming from you I have ever read. He has a life purpose, no? Dude, your teaching is workaholism. And what he has to lose? He is going on because of the vision he has and supposedly he even took account that he will be fine without surgery. Besides,he was worse when he was consecrating Dhyanalinga. I would love to know why you said this. Besides, because of people like him, people are practicing health lifestyle which cuts directly in many cartels of food, alcohol, drug and pharma industries and medical malpractices to keep people hooked on treatment forever and because of people like him people are acctually reversing climate change by planting trees on mass. I don't see any government doing this. Another point, he is creating people that will not support people like Trump and Putin or whatever mediocre politician because they have the capacity to care due to Sadhguru's work.

You can underestand that you need an alternative to waiting on her, which is to focus on your life in action and self-reflection. Yeah, I would also be fine with meeting just one which i really have some spark and mating only with her, but in today's age I don't see this happen, people have exes that try to come back into their life and sometimes even married people are married only on paper, but they had to get married for some reason I don't underestand. I think after few years if you work on yourself and your problems, you will be able to provide a more quality relationship to a person that will come eventually and your standards will probably increase as well since you will be looking for signs of emotional maturity that would lower the risk of divorce. I Don't want to marry a lazy, projective victim kind of person who cares what others have. I want somebody who will listen to herself and will listen to me, then so much is possible. If you truly want to have a partner, wish for 15-20 minutes a day for a partner (not for any particular person) and prioritize some skills that are handy for dealing with a partner like communication, negotiation, chores and the fact that your own personal decisions become limited as you are willing to sacrifice a part of your self.

That is true.

Let's tackle with this issue: - The aim is very complicated and lengthy to achieve as it is with life's purposes. What you are trying to achieve is not a static thing. Immagine if you did buy a house but now you are drafted to go to a war or you get a terrible disease, so many people in the world don't know if they will eat today and everybody can't get a house and live "off the grid", because you will be over some people in society, and there are people below you, trying to get ahead you. The thing that you are actively trying to better your life is worth congratulating. - Try to improve some aspect related to your life purpose. Take a loan for the house or switch to a job which you value more. If I was working in neem powder production company or groundnut farm or water filtering company or whatever i would really consume myself, I would really stand by it, it would make me appreciate my job more. - what you are trying to achieve is health. Are the pesticides your only worry? Really? There are other aspects to your health which you can improve to cover minimize the risk of pesticides influencing your health like finding the right frequencyto eat, type of food, fasting, superfoods and supplements, yoga or workout routine etc. etc. Which means you maybe have to sacrifice time to research it and have to quit some thing you like like coffee maybe or refined sugars etc. But in the end you will have health, and even then your health can go bad which is related to point 1 thar your life purpose is not static. - I hope this helps you to find where you stand in life and figure what mentality to have to benefit your journey further. Peace.

Ultimately your own personality or personal agenda/bias/psyche (which is a compliation of what you think you are, what you think the other is, what you think world is and what you think god is and it is mostly the toughts that you haven't verbalized but have access to) which is pretty vague thing but it is the most tangible software with which and trough which your life is internalized and lived. That determines what you love and hate. Your personality however is influenced by society and environment.

I have heard that is because: - you become so energetic and can't hold your samadhi in your body that you have to either give up your experience or the body; - you just don't know how to remain in the body even if you are capable to remain, so you create a desire, have jattas, put copper jewelry or whatever to somehow remain; But I think it's also because: - you don't want to go back to the life you lived prior to the experience, to whatever family situation / life situation / political situation, so you leave; From other sources where people live a simple and monastic life with a lot of sadhana I heard that they don't have this problem of being incapable to hold their samadhi in the body, but they can lose their experience in some moments in their life. -
I don't even know how that would look like. 😀

I am too. Where else I say that I listen to Sadhguru exclusive religiously, try to implement radical ideas of Osho and Nithyanada which I think work better than those I learned in school and that I have a bondage/latex fetish. Where else if not here? Isn't it funny how repressed society acctually is? It's quite phenomenal. Not that all of that even mattered that I said it, but there would be actual people who would spend significant amount of time to give a shit about that and to gossip and compare endlessly and create a story around you just because they either didn't like you, they genuinely tought there is something wrong with you or they had nothing better to do with their life. But no, your cognition is so much more sophisticated and flexible that you don't need to feel guilty for who you are. Period. But there are real consequences to expressing your sexuality or say that you listen to everything some guru is saying. Due to social conditioning I am bound to feel ashamed, and to a point I am and probably will be for the rest of my life.

There was a guy called Origins who abused user Modmyth. Then there was an admin who made a copycat version of this forum. We will have those.

Some individuals in the past were very very intelligent. Look at ancient Greek music theory or Hindu temples and lingas or craftsmanship of literally every culture in the world.
