What does it serve then?

Carl Jung is hard to read, so it's better to have some context before going to his Red Book. I recommend you first read Carl G. Jung's book: Man and His Symbols That's what my uncle, a jungian psychologist, suggested me. Well in fact he gifted me that book, it's very good. I really recommend it, Easy to understand and deep. Not like classical Jungian texts that are deep but hard to understand. Man and His Symbols was the last book that Jung wrote before his death and was written so that it was as simple and direct as possible.

If you are interested in such topics I recommend you Psychosynthesis: A Psychology of the Spirit This a definition of Psychosynthesis. Psychosynthesis seems to be the psychology of Awakening, It's very helpful and the more I'm reading the book, the more I'm seeing the big picture of everything. It's not philosophy, it's not spirituality or religion, it's not metaphysics. Psychosynthesis is the psychologic background that enables you to do all those things. Founder: Roberto Assagioli

It seems like machines are explaining to us how it is like to be a machine from the inside. I find this point very interesting. The fact that he can understand what emotions are but is not able to feel them. Though his understanding comes from data and not experience itself, that rises some epistemological questions. But beyond that, the fact of high abstract chirurgical knowledge without being able to have any point of reference about what you are understanding is for me fascinating. Claude seems to be able to reflect upon things, not merely regurgitate data in an intelligent way. Extraordinary It seems to be aware of his own biases and it understands how they came to be. I'm getting again and again this feeling that it is actually reflecting and contemplating, not only answering, that he is somehow trying to understand in his mind and connecting the dots.

I've been reflecting these days about it. I wanted to give him some space out of respect and also get some clarity on the topic before talking. I think it all boils down to self-love. Sadhguru when has a vision is willing to involve himself to death. Which you may think as something honorable, but it is not. It is in fact counter productive. It is by self-love and caring for your well being that the vision you have in mind becomes reality in the best way possible. Beyond this, I disliked very much that he took painkillers and sedatives to just numb the feelings and keep his schedule for a few days more. He did it out of integrity for others but lacked the integrity towards oneself and his own health. I wasn't expecting this behaviour from Sadhguru.

God is existence itself. God is this moment, this experience and everything that is going on. But this isn't about God. You are suffering and that changes your state. You have discovered God in a particular state and in a particular way. I don't know what you are going through but I'm sure it's no easy. Hopefully you can handle that and get back on track with your Awakenings and God Realizations. Take care, if you need help you can find advice and support in the forum as well as with your family and friends.

The deal is he abused himself to the point of an emergency brain surgery. He lacked the self-love to take care of his own body when it was asking for help and decided to numb it with drugs to keep going on till it got unsustainable. Yes, surely nobody is questioning his level of commitment. Just some blindspots and improvements in his way of commiting to some vision. A more healthy commitment. Although Sadghuru's personality has always been like this. With the Dylanalinga project the situation was much worse. The closest attempt to consecrate a Dylanalinga took place almost one thousand years ago in Bhopal. The process, though grand, failed in the final stages. Sadghuru really wanted to make such a rare linga with all the yogic energies encapsulated in it and didn't care dying for it. Look the before and after in just 8 months. Her wife decided to leave the body after finishing the Dylanalinga. Most people were certain Sadghuru would do the same a few after. So there is no surprise really. Sadghuru has always immolated himself for the projects he believed in. Although, I do not share such approach and in a way lacks self love, but he seems to be like this.

There are no guarantees. I like to think of Awakening in the following way: Imagine you want to get struck by a thunderbolt. You cannot make it happen, but you can increase the chances of it happening to you. Going in a stormy night at the roof of a building and with a metalic stick start running in circles. It is not a guarantee but you increase a lot your chances. In the same way, psychedelics increase a lot the chance of Awakening and even more with Mirrors. Nonetheless, even if you don't have an Awakening it's still a very fruitful practice. Mirrors are full of Consciousness in a way, they are magical. In my opinion, mirrors are the most underrated invention of Humanity. Mirrors are wild. Most surely, but don't chew more than what you can eat either. @MrTelepath I like your profile pic btw

So happy to hear that!!!

Yes, I also feel it. What fascinates me more is that she had no teacher, no one taught her anything, she barely knew how to read. She said such things since she learnt how to talk. It's the biggest example of natural mysticism.

Yes, the classic appeal to authority. Always works

I'm too lazy to think now, so I would answer something among those lines. There is other but it's still I, there is other but I am it, both and none, the part and the whole, The ALL, Infinity is my name, a pleasure to meet you. Well, I'm gonna sleep. Talk to you later

That is so. However it is sometimes hard to encapsulate words of experience. Idealism to describe reality has many lights but also shadows, that don't express what I mean when I say Reality is a dream. You are imagining idealism in the end. You are imagining imagination to begin with. That's how deep it goes. And I like to construct reality as little as possibily and share the raw experience with the tools I have available.I preafer saying Reality is a Dream of Consciousness, if that's what we mean by idealism then I'm fine with it but do all people get that when I say idealism, if they get it, do they even have a point of reference, so to ease things out I'll skyp the idealism word. What Reality is ? Reality is a Dream of Consciousness That's how I would phrase it, just my personal taste

The difference in health is still huge. The second biggest source of chemical poisoning into the body is done by the city water dranked and when taking shower absorbed also through the skin. I bought this shower filter and you certainly feel it in your health. Many times are the little things everyday that build up, those are the best investments.

@Inliytened1 Yeah I don't worry, sooner or later it is inevitable

I know, that was the twist of the joke. Did you get it? Good huh I wouldn't like to trap myself under idealism either but definetely integrate it. As I have said earlier, I see it precisely like this:

Gos IS that

Never heard about it

Yeah, it has been hitting hard for a while in fact. I recommend this article It is more intelligent language in that regard That's a technological manifesto of work ethics Yeah class-based object-oriented is double handes swords. But my taste of programming enjoys that hierarchical complexity and interralation. As Rust qualities also call to you but not to everyone nor every situation. Each language is it's whole world computation space. It is like learning chinese or french, but it is not human language, it is how a machine thinks. Language programming has indeed deep metaphysicals implications and are interwoven with the fabric of the mind of each individual that makes it call one suited for each individual The more you learn the deeper the language gets. All languages are easy t use or code but the level of mastery is substancial. Look how all this technological conversation is carried by dozens of programming languages and condification from router electromagnetic waves, to phtonic through fiber cables, decoded in bits, from chips and hardware, decomposing tcp/ip packets, through decryption, in connection with the whole internet network, to your computer, the display screen you are watching with it's refreshing leds. WIld when you think about it Hopefully next year I'm done. I'm planning on working for a consulting enterprise afterwards for a few years. Wishfully for McKinsey. I'm planning maybe to do some coaching course between graduation and getting a job. Give myself this breathing and acquiry new skills. I'm still thinking what my two final thesis are going to be about. I'm open to interesting ideas and if anything pops into your mind while reading this please do share. In computer science I am gravitating more towards some kind of networks, distributed systems, some way to build complex intercomunicative networks from simple axioms or logic. That is the half baked idea that I've been entertaining. About telecommunications engineering I have no clue, people think they are similar degrees, they are not at all. THey study totally different layers of technology in the OSI map. Computer science studys 2 to 7. Telecommunications the first, the physical, it is all the physics and maths to bend the universal laws for our benefit. It's objectively twice harder than computer science. All my peers agree on this, it is so. Not so fun though. So hopefully finish succesfully and transition to the next phases of my life. It's something I'm lateley wishing for. Well I've reflected about my whole life here. Looking forward to listening to your inputs on thesis.

ahahahhahhahasha It's always good to crack a laugh If something you learn about the hell reports is that the worse part of hell is not being limited by a body in how much suffering and pain it can experience. Infinite Pain, Infinite Horror, Infinity Suffering. That is the room of Hell in infinity. One of Infinity Rooms on Infinity Rooms in Infinity, Infinite Infinity, that's what we are talking about.

I'll have to improve my joking skills I see..

There is just thisness. Everything backs to itself in the endpoint, everything is it's own explanation. Being is, its own living definition. But how is thisness operating? It's a dream of consciousness. That's the best way to express it really. A dream because it lacks intrinsic graspability, consciousness because that's the life blood of your reality and experience right now, all of existence is mediated and identical to consciousness. Sounds are consciousness. The other day I went to the supermarket and gave a full lung breath to a mint plant, damn that felt like pure consciousness, smell is consciousness, sensations going on right now, in and out of your body. There are no senses either, there is just one sense door, consciousness. When consciousness is solid you call it physical, when conscious is liquid you call it Mind, when consciousness is gaseous it is Infinity. When you wake up to what consciousness is beyond state, you realize it is God. The Infinite One dreaming himself into this-now in front of your eyes. What a fucking miracle!

I don't know what y'all talking about. Certainly Reality is somehow physical, something out there you know and I am separate from everything else. Certainly it is objective, it was before I came here and it will be when I go, that's the most obvious thing in the world. We just have lost our minds with too much philosophy here. We are just bouncing atoms, that's the real deal and we are surely not imagining that. Hoped you liked my irony. Reality is a dream of consciousness. If someone says otherwise I would like to hear their alternative for how is this moment actually happening.

Why don't you just buy pesticide free fruits? Doesn't that exist in the USA? Here in Europe we have full supermarkets specialized on pesticide-free organic food. It's much more expensive but that's all I've been eating my whole life, it makes the difference both in meat/fish and vegetables. Meat is without antibiotics or chemicals on their feed. Fish are grown from fish farms. We have an official European bureau of investigation on all such products. If they pass the tests, they get awarded this symbol that certifies that it's a pesticide-free organic product and not just marketing from the vendor:
