Hahahahah

i also started having what feels like glimpses of actually physically dying. it seems like a very smooth non-frightening process if you dont resist

not to degrade your experience, but this is an intermediary realization - i point this out because i was stuck in the same realization for years, and clinging to the idea of reality being but the escape of an infinitely bored, lonely god, is such a pity and depressing outlook on reality - when what it really is, is Absolute Good, Absolute Love, absolute Miracle

i could never have imagined reality would be so motherfucking trippy before i started all this spirituality hahahah

best movie of all time btw

the only appropriate response tbf

God is Pure Love - that can never be hell because that is not Pure Love. Its just Pure Love and thats the reason for all of creation

first i wanna say that kundalini style dissolutions of self are on a completely different level than the (mostly) gradual dissolution through meditation and spiritual practice it is a question thats hard to answer, because who should pursue spirituality? ive pondered that question alot myself. my point was simply that i suggest not to actively engage in kundalini stimulation before you are way down the path

Kundalini awakening is the absolute point of no return of the spiritual path. It is the most spontaneous, rapid and dramatic transformation of body, energies and mind an individual can go through. It is when spirituality stop being fun and games. It is when spirituality violently demands to be the absolute and sole focus of your life. Because of this, if one is not prepared for this change, if one is not prepared to sacrifice and let go of absolutley everything - your mom, your friends, your passions, even your spiritual gurus and ideas - i can easily see how kundalini awakening can ruin lives. Therefore I do not promote pursuing kundalini awakening unless you are a serious spiritual practicioner with years of experience. With that said, I have found that kundalini by far is the most efficient method for increasing baseline consciousness - and achieving sober, non-psychedelic induced mystical states. Kundalini works on three levels that increase baseline consciousness; dissolution of conceptual projections onto reality, dissolution of self-identity and dissolution of trauma / energetic blockages. For me, conceptual projections onto reality distinguished itself from the other two forms of dissolution, in that it was a one-time very dramatic shift that occurred, into a temporary heightened state, which left my baseline perception of reality altered dramatically afterwards. I have few words to describe this other than it was a sober-psychedelic experience. I mention this mostly to make people aware of the possibility of actual sober-psychedelic states. I had had 10-15 major trauma dissolutions prior to my kundalini awakening -and experienced 500+ major dissolutions within a matter of 1-2 weeks post kundalini awakening. Trauma dissolution usually happens through conscious and deliberately identifying, feeling and releasing stuck emotions (or thought patterns). The kundalini acts by taking charge of this process, making it a spontaneous event, where trauma is automatically identified and released. Dissolution of self-identity also happens through the trauma dissolutions, hence the two are very closely linked. However I think dissolution of self-identity deserves a mention, since this can invoke some frightening experiences. it i face to face with your own self-image, or the feeling of yourself. It can take many shapes. You will recognize what you perceive yourself to be - and you will see whatever that is, shatter into a thousand pieces. This can be frightening to the unprepared, since it feels like going away or dying. In my experience, these three levels of dissolution are the bedrock and purpose of all spiritual practice. It is because of this, that once Kundalini is awakened, you're on the highway to healthier states of consciousness and well being. What is the prize for going through this seemingly traumatic and frightening process? The prize is life itself. Peace of mind and Love.

@James123 so theres a You which is not identical to everything else

yea 100% agree. most westerners have an overstimulated third eye, since we're taught to live through THINKING. we live in the mind chakras are awesome

can you elaborate? but yes chakras have so much impact on the physical body and personality that its unbelievable. each chakra carry strong personality traits

how is everything identical if everything is not you?

@Willy Phallicus what. hadnt heard that one before hahah

this is one possible answer to the matter, I suspect sadhguru might reject the word Love for the same reason. Unconditional existential love should not even be in the same category as emotional love

i dont know why you're so obsessed with this pre/post physical death; investigate what is the case in your current experience. if you investigate throughly, you will realize what is physical (the body that changes, decays and dies), and that which is non physical and does not die (Nothingness, Consciousness, Love)

@James123 my point is that only what you experience right now can be trusted to be 100% true. Therefore whether or not your birth actually happened, whatever is pre birth can ever only be an idea in your mind

what do you mean? fire and the experience of pain is not just an idea or a concept, its an actual experience. I dont know where you're going with this

before physical birth is literally an idea in your mind

i mean isnt the answer simply that these (however enlightened) masters, has simply eluded the specific insight of Love? Given that there are many aspects to Truth

@Leo Gura how do people reach different conclussions of the truth? if Love is absolute truth, why is this not ralstons conclusion? althrough it does seem 90% of spiritual teachers agree that God is Love. but what about the remaining 10%? Some of them seemingly extremely advanced, for example Ralston and Sadhguru

@Breakingthewall im kind of curious since i dont believe i've heard you talk about this; how do you rank your own level of realization, do you consider yourself enlightened (Baseline, not just peak experiences) and how long have you had spiritual practice?

okay here you are wrong. shaktipats can 100% cause kundalini activations, i experienced it myself - felt excactly like what a handshake of 5meo feels like to me

question to the people who have gone through full kundalini awakening; how do you know when you're ready for psychedelics again? I get mixed messages online, some saying to stay far away from psychedelics for a long time. And i kind of get it; im going through kundalni awakening right now, and initially it felt extremely overwhelming. However at this point i feel very grounded in my new state. Althrough there is still a lot of emotional / trauma purging and ego dissolving going on. I really feel a call to ayahuasca, but its only been a couple of weeks since my kundalini awakening, and as mentioned, initially it was extremely intense. i spent almost two full days in a full on psychedelic state with type of crazy shit happening. I do however feel i was very prepared for the shift, and because of that my baseline increased more dramatically than i have ever experienced before I would really like some insight / sparring from people who have gone through the full kundalini awakening, and how they now treat psychedelics
