A person is insulting me. (Event) Ego: Who does this person think they are talking to. I'll show them they don't know who they are messing with. Higher Self: This is a chance for me to test my capacity for self love. Do I have the strength that cannot be moved in my 3rd density form? A person steals from me. Ego: I'm about to destroy their life. Higher Self: Can I learn to forgive my self for the harm I have done to myself? The one who stole from me, is me. So in truth nothing has been lost but the violation of my Free Will. I will forgive myself fore it knows not what it does. The ego sees everything done against its desires as an attack, an affront to its desire to be respected and treated with care. The ego is not wrong in how it feels. But it is misguided on the interpretative lens it is viewing things. Its like slapping yourself across the face and then demonizing your own hand. Then contemplating how you need to harm or separate yourself from your own hand. The same foolishness it is to demonize that which is you, is the same foolishness that makes you think separation is even possible. The fool regularly suffers their foolishness. The Higher self sees everything in the above example as an unruly hand slapping itself. The hand doesn't understand that it is only part of the whole. Instead of the hand working in unison with the rest of the body to achieve collective success, the hand tries to do its own thing and keeps failing. So the Higher Self sees the ego in action. So the Higher Self forgives the ego because the ego is confused, the Higher Self understands that with more knowledge and Wisdom the Ego ultimately dissolves. How does it know this? Because this has been happening for infinity, and this will never end. At the highest level of Intelligence and Wisdom, separation and conflict are seen for what they are, lower levels of intellect at play that is mostly shrouded in ignorance. Akin to a hand continuously slapping itself in the face. The hand thinks it is separate and forms its own agenda. When the hand awakens that it is one and the same with the body, the same way a human can recognize it is one and the same with the infinite, then the hand can stop slapping itself, and the human can stop fighting itself. Drop the ego, stop slapping yourself.

Welcome to the Forums. You have lived much more life than the majority of us here, your experiences and perspectives about your life journey would be much welcome. When you say you cannot get in touch what do you mean precisely?

This guy is grasping in this video I had to stop watching at a certain point. I can actually explain a lot of the reasonings behind every single on of Sadhguru's answers. When you deal with a Mystic like Sadhguru who gets into the affairs of civilization he has to constantly address both the Infinite/Indiscriminant, and the Relative/Discriminant. I got a better example of a video that guy could use where Sadhguru talks to the Military of India and gives them encouragment in warfare. Someone who has not done deep Spiritual work would not understand why he communicates like this. Every single one of Sadhguru's comments are about the conditions of THAT TIME. If you notice, if you try to go around and tell everybody all the time to engage in Universal Love you are not going to reach them. You have to reach people where they are at. Do you honestly believe that Guru's want to talk about things like dress, food, music, and other things like this of low consequence? No. But if you want to reach people you need to meet them where they are at. A hungry man will not listen unless his belly is full, a sad person will not listen unless you can assuage their feelings. When Sadhguru discussed a girl should dress well because she is getting attention it makes sense. When you get attention you also get criticism. If you don't want to be criticized avoid getting attention of any kind which she can easily do by wearing baggy clothes. The nature of human existence the woman is the Divine Expression of the Feminine which draws its power from its beauty. Just like the beautiful aspects of nature draw your attention so does the Feminine Body. Its like complaining that Bees BUZZ! If I ran for office I would draw both positive and negative attention because I am in the Spotlight. I would do well to act in a manner that will provide me the attention I desire. Its common sense. But he never said she HAS to in that she is bad for not doing it. He is making a common sense statement. Beware people who look to criticize, because in this 3rd density reality nobody is above criticism so what purpose is it to nitpick?

Sounds like you all are worshipping him. That let's me know you all aren't doing the work. Literally everything that Leo has posted has been said before if you all did the work. If you point me to a video I will point you to a source that has said it before. There is nothing new under the Sun. Leo is in the same vein of the Teachers that came before him.

Here is an interesting audio book. Its called The Instant Millionaire Book by Marc André Poissant Check it out. I think it will have a powerful effect on the few that practice its teachings. Best of luck!!!! [removed for copyright violation]

It took me 30+ years to figure this out lol. Not a lot of easy pathways to this point. Its like you gotta have an unearthly desire for truth to even realize this. If I told my past self this 2 years ago he would have called me a fool and bust out laughing.

You are doing it right now, by what degree you express it is within your purview. If you weren't free to express yourself you wouldn't be doing it right now. You'd be in chains and given orders. Freedom has degrees to it. Some are more free than others, but you have freedom.

On what grounds? What makes him an idiot? And what makes him overrated? Because there is tons of evidence to the contrary but I'm open to hearing how this can be true? I don't agree with everything he says but he does good work and is very wise in my perspective.

I hear you and I would love everyone to be in his shoes. If you knew how many people this guy interacts with on a daily basis.....it is frightening. I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually gets tired.

You are literally expressing yourself freely. So you contradict yourself. Also mobs is a form of expression, and are usually formed if they believe they are not being allowed to express themselves freely which makes my point. I don't have to revisit this narrative. The fact you are here right now is proof positive of this statement whether you realize it or not.

The words of an expert. Listen to this advice.

Yeah I'm not even favor of it either. You can't repress freedom of expression for long, there is always a backlash. History reveals this all the time.

Ego Death is the most liberating experience because it is symbolic. In reality you experience death all the time. Death is the end of identification. So for example if you identify with being employed and you become unemployed you just experienced death. If you identify with being young and you become old you just experienced death. If you identify with being human, when you cease to be human you died. But if you have no limited identity then you never die. You can test this out for yourself. Try to do something you believe you are not capable of accomplishing and notice the fear you feel. Its the same fear, of annihilation. To go beyond your self image of yourself, you must first kill the image you have of yourself. Ego Death teaches you that all fear is illusion. Its a fun illusion. I have been saying on this forum for a long time. YOU LOVE YOUR FEAR. Fear provides you with meaning, and helps you to maintain your persona, the personality you have taken on. The genius of life is apparent...if you pay attention.

There is nothing wrong with having biases, that is a bias against a bias. Your biases are your biases who cares? If you don't want to have sex with them great!! It would be undue suffering to force you to have sex with someone you don't love in that way. They wouldn't get an opportunity to get with someone who does, and you won't have an opportunity to get with someone you do. Its a lose/lose situation. The point is just being honest about it, because then you can see clearly. Clarity of Vision is through honesty. The path to wisdom is honesty. That's all you need and anything you desire to know can be revealed.

Your breath is the path way to staying calm. You can resist to a point if the dosage isn't to high with breathwork. But depending on how your biology is and the dosage the breathwork may not be enough. The breathwork can be an anchor of resistance but like I said if the pull is too strong....you need to surrender. I resisted Ego Death on 3grams of Jedi Mind Fuck. 20 hours later 2-3 edibles gave me full blown ego death and it defied my breathwork and I shattered into pieces. So my body could resist the mushroom but the edible had its way with me. I surrendered to what was....and it was fine. Your fear is just an illusion, but it will feel real. After I shattered I realized...it wasn't so bad lol.

Breathe work helps, your anchor is your ability to surrender to what is. If you cannot...welll....you will just have to find out.

This is bias and I disagree. The deepest spiritual work is actually done through others because others constantly reveal your imbalance by triggering emotions within you which reveal those biases and judgments. Its why dealing with people is so tough, because it forces you to get rid of the biases/and judgments. For example what Sadhguru does all the time is ridiculously impressive. He deals with a ridiculous amount of Spiritual Seekers on a daily basis interacting with so many people from so many different backgrounds and is able to remain cool and collected. We are all capable of doing this when we balance ourselves. Meditation and solitude is the work, people are the test. The test reveals how balanced or imbalanced you are.

Only thing I disagree with is this.....because we are imaginary too. But everything else I agree with.

I love facing the truth! Its why I said its true!! I can't argue with this at all. I'm just saying....I've learned trying to force people to see the truth is also torture. I'll tell people what it is, but it's there choice whether they want to see it or not. I've learned that people are too attached too seeing themselves a certain way. (Too judgmental). So they are afraid to face their own judgment if they realize their hypocrisy. All judgment is hypocrisy. So it is rather easy and fun at times for me to point this out to people. It pisses my friends off because they can't deny it. But they get anoyyed at this being shown you know why? Because people WANT to stay in character. They WANT to feel the way they FEEL whether it is justified or not!! That is the secret!!! It's like tapping someone on the shoulder playing a role and telling him to break character but he is too engaged into it that he doesn't want too. He identifies so closely with that character that he thinks if he breaks it....he won't exist. Hilarious!!

Lol.....I can't with this!!! The irony is it is true....fear is what will stop you, which is judgment!! But come on....that's a bit too far.

You might be onto something there.....lol

Lol don't project your desires for yourself onto me. Spirituality is all there is. If you cannot see this that is on you.

Well technically you can be both. White people use to deny black people's existence as people and they were frightened of them at the same time. So yeah. Fear is actually of the unknown, the unknown doesn't exist since it is unknown. A denialist denies the existence of something, if something doesn't exist, it can't be known. So they are saying your fear of their trans label is the fear of the unknown. Not saying you are....but the logic fits. This is so much fun!!! lol.

Yeah well we're all of the Universe is on the path of Universal Love. All of the Universe is trying to become enlightened, or to become realized. So we are where we currently are.

Lol gotta love mobile technology. I am on a laptop. I have resisted this generation's desire to use mobile for stuff like this. I'm from the laptop generation.
