Are there dark sides to this path? Did you experience hopelessness and a sense of frustration where you felt like you ain't getting to anything? Share.

Glad to hear.

Awesome man.

I won't say that people in a spiritual community are evil per se, no that's not the issue. They're just not compatible with spiritual culture. In any spiritual community or environment you get to witness the common traps like disconnection, lack of boundaries, impractical approaches, gaslighting, power hierarchy, constant debating, one-upping, spiritual ego, spiritual bypassing, lack of harmony, lack of communication and understanding, self righteousness, spiritual narcissism, dogmatism, lack of compassion, fanatic judgement, false preaching, zero embodiment of spiritual teachings (only bla bla bla bla), god syndrome, messiah complex, cult environment, blame game, traps, solipsistic bubble, out of touch with reality, hypocrisy and insincerity, gloating. Just to name a few of the problems encountered in spiritual communities. And this Konstant thing where people are described as normies. As in elevating spiritual people.

Yes that's what I meant. Thanks for sharing your experience.

What makes them not be good in your mind? Like what's the underlying reason.

I was in a psych ward. Trust me it was the worst experience of my life hitherto.

People will do anything for their ego.

Agree.

There is love beyond the image of love. Dream beyond the illusion of dream.

@Leo Gura it's more like if someone slaps you and you turn the other cheek, then they slap you again. you gotta make up your mind if you wanna turn your other cheek once more.

You can't be kind to everyone. Fact of life.

@meta_male Be strong. Keep firm boundaries around toxic family. Try not to let it impact you. Try a ton of different meditation. If you wanna talk, I'm here. I pray for your healing. And invest a lot in kindness. You need kindness. Be kind to yourself.

Not being kind is also kindness.

There's only one word for Christ Consciousness - kindness

I give a lot of importance to suffering. In fact all of my insights and who I am as a person today is the direct product of suffering.

Leo is just showing hardcore reality.

I can't confirm if this is a conspiracy theory or if it's real. Information presented in the video is quite critical. Elon Musk also tweeted about it. Is this something we're actively led to ignore?

You're free to lock the topic if there's enough information that proves it's conspiracy.

Need more.

Either in jail or out. Too much chaos and confusion. This turned to a mess. Choppy messy trials.

Sadhguru is the best.

I saw and danced to it. Nice.

The upside being that it's informative and the downside being that it can easily be a mask for real wholesome socializing and this can become a trap. Socializing should be one on one and that involves being around people who really get you, in a community it's hard to do that although with disadvantages that are quite obvious, there are massive advantages that won't come with one on one communication with a meagre bunch.

I went through Insanity for 20 days in 2022. What did it feel like? Wasn't able to sleep Wasn't able to focus Zero self awareness Not able to distinguish between right or wrong Not acting socially appropriate Wasn't able to tell where the bathroom was Feeling unbalanced Lot of aggression No ability to think straight or logical I had to drink and experiment with substances to begin to feel normal again. Care to share your Insanity experiences? Also it felt like I was having a spiritual awakening. How do you differentiate an Insanity phase from a real spiritual awakening? Are they different and in what way?
