Its not my account, someone hacked my facebook then set up this instagram account, and that rape account is gone too...they are supposed to send me an email about the suspension/disabling but I have not received it, all the passwords are changed but someone must have gotten into the email too and erased it I think..crazy, someone started a mobile service too using my info, no have to watch everything for awhile now!!

How do You choose "Best" when we are full of conditioned minds? If You just look at things here on this sub forum, there are arguements going on back and forth, about what is right, or wrong or about a position held, they are good arguments, they stand ground on their own, if You read one of them, you may say "that sounds good", then you read the reply and counter argument and it sounds good too, so how does one evaluate "Best" from this.. Its too complex when billions of ppl are involved, most of them Unconscious ones. When I first found the Venus Project and Jacques Fresco, his basic idea of a Society should be run sounded good, its generalizing, but the basics of it are good, everyone is equally provided for, technology does the basic work of figuring out how to get all what they need, and how to build efficient housing and transport systems, and how to supply Green Energy, it doesn't happen today because there are too many vested Interest, money and power rules and the ones that have that don't want to lose it, so the masses suffer the most in that scenario...

I think these New Agers are full of half knowing, half experience, half everything, and that is more dangerous in many ways than knowing nothing at all. When I taught Martial Arts, I realized that half knowing what to do and how to do it dangerous, because with this ppl think they know, they experience and such, it creates a false Confidence, which lacks the most important thing, which is Clarity. Without Clarity You really have nothing when it comes to navigating this Life and not suffering it..

She argues a position, so what does that mean? We all do, so what does that mean? If she really experienced there is no doing, and nothing is happening, she wouldn't be here as much with as many posts as she has.. We are all guilty of this, its just that some are more guilty than others due to the facts of their actions, someone with 1000 posts is not as guilty as someone with 10,000 posts, but says nothing is happening or ever did.. Oxymoron galore, then they go on the relationships forum or Politics forum and argue a war that apparently doesn't exist since nothing is happening, complete BS on the Spiritual as well as Intellectual/Logic level.. I'm sure everyone that does this, including me, are good people, and I would enjoy spending some time with most of them, but we can't do that for the most part, all we can do is go by what they say, and if its ridiculous then that has to be said to them to maybe wake them up someday!

One thing that will for sure change Your Whole life is Your basic Mood and how consistent it is, this means how I am feeling on a Consistent basis influences the Quality of Your Life.. Why do ppl feel up and down emotionally everyday, and is this healthy or even natural? For me, feeling pleasantness is very important, it changes most everything in my life, if I am up and down emotionally then that sucks.. Feeling Happy, Optimistic, Intense, Excited, Compassionate and such emotions means my life is Empowered. The question is can we control or set up a default mode so these Emotions/Experience is the default? Yes we can, once You do that, everything else falls into place..

Whatever theory or conclusion one says or posts in replying, its a Possibility.. If you don't see that everyone's opinion and ideology is a possibility only, not truth but Possibility, then You will see what Reality is, and that is just on the Intellectual level, not the entire Existence.. This only works when Ego is not present!

Oh No, you know who will never stop talking about this, just when he started to forget and not talk about it every post..

In this insightful video, Sadhguru explains that enlightenment is primarily about achieving a certain level of intensity in life. He discusses the importance of focusing on one's own business, bringing stillness into one's life, and not letting material possessions define one's existence. Sadhguru emphasizes that once you reach the necessary intensity, enlightenment follows naturally, and he encourages viewers to allow him to guide them through this transformative process.

Again there is a situation (Sick, repressed, exploited, etc), then the Experience of it, in the Experience of it is where the choice is.. I'm not saying there is no Pain, of course there would be some Pain if I was in those situations, but I don't have to Suffer it, if I suffer it then my chances of getting out of a situation like that are less, since Suffering is a sort of disability isn't it? Again, unless there is someone physically Torturing You and Your unable to get out of it, what else could someone do to You to cause Suffering? They can cause pain to you, physically hurt you, but does the pain go on and on? Yes ppl get in accidents, they get injured and go thru the physical pain then and maybe afterwards, that is a sort of Torture isn't it! I am talking about ppl, the majority, that are not in a situation like this, and they still Suffer, they suffer everything going on and not going on.. Are Ppl empowered or disempowered when they experience Suffering? They are Disempowered, but the situation is such that they need to be at their best to get out of it, so Suffering disables but Your needing to be Enabled to get out of it, you see it now?

Oxymoron here...my imagination comes from Me, I am someone not a "no one"...

At One point in time, there were only 100 of Us, and all of them were zoomed in to the infinity 1000X they were observing surface levels of cells of a leaf, they didn't know what it was but it took their attention intensely... Then they zoomed out back to normal X1, Tiger ate them immediately.. Survival doesn't allow You to get too involved with what is going on around You, You'd be too curious and intrigued to worry about anything else, we wouldn't have survived very long as a species if we had infinite vision. Its Simple Survival Mechanism! Same with "Why don't we have Psychedelic or Spiritual Experiences Naturally?" (this may be true when Your a baby/infant, but changes as You age), if You had these experiences naturally all the time or at will, then we wouldn't survive long again...

Yes!!

Most all Experiences are a choice of how You Experience it, other than being physically tortured against Your Will, how can someone else affect You if You don't allow them too? What is the difference btwn Pain and Suffering? There's all sorts of Pain, and Suffering too, but for me the difference btwn the two is intensity, Suffering is more intense than Pain, and it longer lasting, as i said its mostly mind made stuff. Most ppl are Suffering their compulsive thought patterns and desires, and looking for quick pleasure results which dissipate over time. Basically they look for Life outside themselves for Fulfilment, but all Life Experience is within YOU, where else would it be? If that is the case, but Your unconscious of it, then what is the result? Suffering mostly!

If no one had any Experience, first this question would never be able to arise or be spoken of, second this forum, our words we use, the keyboard or phone, internet, none of it would exist. Only via free will has any of this happened, and free will happen via Experience, and Experience is the only thing You really have while Embodied, no Embodiment, no ability to Experience, no use in talking/discussing/bringing up Absolute, God or any of that.. Everything is Relative and/or Subjective, One person say Free Will does not exists, that is one possibility, another says it does, that is another possibility, one says Evil is all the exists, that is one Potential, another says Good is all that Exists, again another Potential, what determines any of this is Your Experience and ability to exert any Potential that can happen, whether it is a Cave Man creating Fire, or Leo's Alien Consciousness, its all Potential and Possibility, only we can navigate the entire spectrum of it, You can live without Free Will, You can Live with It, now what is Your Choice (again Free Will)!

@Shodburrito I think the System is completely Corrupted, by the System I mean most everything that allows Societies to function, Government, Medical, Education, Finance, everything is basically set up and is corrupted. The Most Beautiful thing that can happen, if it is organized and promoted, it will be Corrupted eventually, this is because our system is Corrupt. We have more than enough food to feed everyone on the planet, but ppl still starve. We have more than enough Resources to house everyone, but tons of ppl are homeless. We have more than enough data and technology to allow everyone to live life at Peace and not worry about basic survival needs, but too many are stressed out daily by not having the basics.. We don't supply these things because the power brokers are Corrupted, and we allow it.. This doesn't mean I have to be Corrupted, when I know that everything about Me is up to me to determine, then It gives my power back to control my Destiny, that is my Inner Destiny and Potential. I am Responsible for Everything that is happening in my life, if You deny this then Your a Slave to most everything, being a Slave is anti Human...

Third Eye is the Agna Chakra, it has a relation to the Pineal gland, its represented as the 3rd Eye because once one is in touch with it in an intense way, they now are "Intellectually" Realized, they see Life just the way it is, no judgements or conclusions, just reality as it is. You now have Clarity toward Life and then can navigate it with Ease, no more stress, no more emotional ups and downs, you live Potential is unlimited Now...

The first key is knowing "I am LIFE", Life is not outside of Me, over there or someone else living a certain lifestyle, that is not Life, You are Life in manifested form. Second, Your full of Intelligence, not the sort of intelligence that makes calculations, or figures things out, that is survival mechanism, the real intelligence is what keeps Your heart beating, blood pressure steady, lungs working and a million other process going while your in deep sleep. What is creating your dreams, and how the dream is happening? Find that source of Intelligence, all of Us can, once Your intouch with it, then that is all You need to do, destiny is in Your hands, not the sort of destiny that says I need to be successful or rich or wealthy or have a boat, car, house a certain way, the destiny I am talking about is about creating the Life within Yourself that You want to Experience, once that is set then that is Enlightenment, all of us are capable of this, this is why we are here...

Suffering is a choice, a mostly Unconscious choice for most... Pain will happen in life for sure, one can never avoid that, but suffering is pain being relived in Your Mind over and over again, so it is You causing more pain to yourself, so that is where the choice comes in, You can experience Pain, become Wise from it, then move on, Suffering means that you unconsciously bring Yourself back into the pain and cannot move on, so Your stuck in the past where Life is not present, life is only present Now in this Moment!

This is one of his best videos, its on Responsibility and the questioner is asking how is one responsible for being abused and such things that happen in ppl's lives, the response is priceless, "If Your Ability to respond is not there, then life is not there, life is based on how You Respond to it"

I've been promoting this forever on this forum, its one of Sadhguru's tenants if You want to call it that, Responsibility or the Ability to Respond, vs being reactive, as Osho said Response ability is Consciousness in Action, Reactivity is Unconsciousness in Action. The basics is that everything that is happening to You, You are Responsible for. Responsibility in this context is not a moral context, its about your ability to Respond, if You say I am not Response Able towards what is happening, then Your disempowered, uninvolved, unable to perceive it, so in essence You are not participating in that aspect of Life, and therefore it disempowers You overall. You can Respond to Life in many ways, for humans its mostly in 4 main areas, Body, Mind, Emotion and Energy. whatever is happening Respond to it in these areas, it brings back to You Your Free Will, which is why we are here...

I can agree, the Body and Mind are full of Karma or Conditioning, Tendencies or one can say "Predetermination" but that is the level of Survival and Intentions and taking actions, the body is very Survival Orientated, the Mind is very Cultural and Societal orientated, its very conditioned, what You think, Your ideologies of Life, likes and dislikes are very conditioned into You as well as influenced by genes and such (all of this are forms of memory which relates to Karma), but we are not the Body and Mind (as You said earlier), we can rise about the Body and Mind level of Awareness, and be Undetermined in only "How we Experience Life", which has nothing to do with Actions, or thinking, or intentions, its before all of that, and via the Experience of Oneness, Completeness, Bliss, Consciousness, Absolute, then we function here with a Body and Mind, perform actions that in someways seem predetermined, but our experience is not, and that is where life is... The higher up Your Intensity is of Awareness, Perception, Consciousness, Bliss (Sat Chit Ananda, Truth/Consciousness/Bliss) then the more Free Will You have access too, this is only in the realm of our Personal Experience, which is either of a separate detached Individual entity from everything else, or that of Oneness, Connected, Inclusive with Everything else...Not of what the Body does, what the Mind does, its thinking process, its survival mechanism process and the desires it wants to fulfill!!

Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, all these time tested methods, find one that works for You, stay with it, first develop Peace within, that makes You stable, if You are not at Peace within naturally no matter what is happening around You, then no method will help You escape this karmic cycle... From a natural sense of Peace within, then ego is controlled or not a presence in Your life, then energies naturally rise up, and potentials in life present themselves naturally, no effort is needed, life is now at Ease, You have Clarity, and can see what is happening easily and then life is transformed!

we could have gone thru thousands of incarnations, from being a plant, to insect, to tree to an animal to eventually Human, we can even go backwards, from Human back to animal, so the idea here is too have realizations and stop the cycle!!

Yes I understand this, this is Absolute perspective and is the fundamental Truth, but we still have to deal with this Body and Mind, if we deny this, then ppl suffer (see Spiritual Warefare or the Mental Health sub forum), its a form of Spiritual Bypassing to say that what happens here with this body and mind, and dual material world means nothing and has nothing to do with anything, to that and You suffer plane and simple. Your perspective is what I call "Top Down" method, its like what Ramana M taught, that is great for those here with an already established Spiritual realization from birth, via their Karmic blueprint, they did spiritual practice or already had a spiritual realization in a previous incarnation, and it reflects here, but not all are like this, some need more sadhana and work on it, both are needed in this world but one has to see the whole picture, not just the Absolute perspective.. The whole point of Spiritual practice and paths is to get to a point of what Your saying in your post, its an Internal Realization, that should be our fundamental Experience, then we can play this game here on this dual plane with bodies and minds and not suffer it, and live to higher potentials and possibilities, Deny it and suffering is the result..

On this plane and realm we are completely Responsible for our lives, by our lives I mean our Inner Experience, life is not outside of us or what is the situations around Us, How we respond to it is up to Us, so this is where Life, so if one is thinking I am not Responsible then it causes them suffering... That is the reality for Us on this plane of existence with a Body and Mind... Life is not predetermined, situations may be, but not how You respond too it, and that is where Life is.. Only once something happens, the past, then one can say that was determined, but that is after the fact...what can happen in the future is not determined, each moment is open to any and all possibility..
