yes i agree. ultimately it boils down to a single desire which all humans share; a good life. this is the incentive for both spiritual and material pursuits, actually all pursuits. its the reason people by a new car, they want something sparkly and shiny because they hope it will make them feel good. its the reason people meditate, they want to tranquil their mind and achieve a higher level of general comfort. its all about the desire to FEEL GOOD, whether we talk spirituality or materialism the question is which pursuit ultimately satisfies the desire for a good life the best? materialism is inexhaustible, spirituality on the other hand.. exhausts the individual, to use your words

i like this. God presents itself through different forms of media / tools, but ultimately the tools are just arbitary channels through which God reveals itself

sadhguru is such a lord

this absolutley is possible, ive experienced it myself. through understanding of consciousness, reality can literally be manipulated. read autobiography of a yogi, its stacked with examples of this. or check grandmaster wolf on youtube, he demonstrates and explains how ESP is possible through the universal consciousness. i also found this post astonishing when i first found it, it explains instant manifestation of physical objects;

@Leo Gura @Water by the River arch nemeses battling

i've heard several yogis reporting stuff like this. of course its just anecdotal, but still

i can confirm definitively that this is not true. psychedelics absolutley reveal deeper structures of reality that have inherent existence independent of our state of consciousness. the only way to confirm this, is to experience interactions in the external world through the so called "psychedelic hallucinations", which is totally possible, and ive experienced it myself

i felt the same way man. but i think existence and its miracelous design speaks to its truth

im fairly certain you are misinterpreting that. martin ball is all aboard the God train

@Davino what do u have doubts about?

can you explain? im very curious. i know that miracle /supernatural / esp stuff is possible on psychedelics, since ive experienced it myself. i think a direct correlation between psychedelic experiences and the physical world is necessary in order to constitute absolute validity, since we really do not know the capacities of the human brain to its full extend

im fairly certain u are misinterpreting martin ball. people often use energetic reality in reference to the non physical. martin ball definetely isnt materialist

@Leo Gura have u ever experienced anything supernatural on psychedelics? ESP like

this is indeed a very good question. i will be dwelling on this for weeks to come.

yea well, either way i guess it wouldn't be too odd if people reported different states of consciousness, even after full enlightenment, since brain chemistry undeniably shapes perception of reality

+1. im team leo

sadhguru does not ever say that god is more dreaming. he says that liberation is disidentification from even god. he never invalidated the existence of god in any way, quite on the contrary he confirmed god many times

Why is it that the past always seems to be enshrouded in some oddly familiar cloud of loving familiarity? I noticed it doesnt even really matter whether the past was negative or positive, the nostalgia element is always there, and its always the same "feeling". I distinctly remember times in my life where everything SUCKED, but now that i look back at it, even that also has this weird familiar cloud of loving nostalgia engulfing it. my past is all engulfed in the shrouded love of nostalgia it is one of the deepest forms of love in my experience, and yet i have never experienced it directly, only as an attachement to a memory what is nostalgia? nostalgia feels like home. is nostalgia our seperation and distancing from god? its like we're always right behind it, or its always a bit a head of us, it always only appears in our memories and past, never in the Now. It certainly seems like nostalgia is closing in on me, as i progress spiritually. its getting closer to the Now. i want to experience nostalgia in the Now, and i have a deep sense that this is possible, and that experiencing nostalgia in the Now will be a unification with God this just came to me and i wanted to share

i think this is a typical tendency for people who follow buddhism dogmatically. they view all spiritual experiences and states of consciousness as nothing but distractions on their way to "liberation", and thus they don't get to investigate the nature of consciousness throroughly. I would for example assert that one who has abided in and investigated "oneness" or brahman properly, would have zero doubts in their minds that brahman and oneness is an ontological truth, since true miracles and supernatural events like telepathy, telekinesis etc are possible when you abide in brahman. frank and artem both reject oneness. brahman is viewed as a mere distraction in dogmatic buddhism, and thus people who follow that path do not get NEAR the full picture

its like the infinite singularity of emptiness thats always been inside of me is revealing itself in everything else. what the fuck i dont know what to think of this. deep sleep everywhere. everything is just an apperance of deep sleep. WTF. deep sleep is just everything minus apperance edit; this is fucking weird edit: ok i lost it now rip. weird while it lasted

@Leo Gura i bet u play an undead rogue

@SkyGuardian lets stop giving artem attention

@Rafael Thundercat lol

emptiness leaves absolutley no room for an external physical world, because it is infinite

thank the lord theunborntao came along and cleared up the misunderstanding
