@CoolDreamThanks Happiness/Bliss is not the Goal, but when Your Naturally Blissful of Your Own nature, it is just there like when hunger comes, it just comes up, Bliss can just be there naturally, it lays the Foundation for more Potential within You to become Realized, call it God, Absolute or whatever, but its Potential. When going for basic survival level Desires (survival is about Accumulation or Gathering, whether it is Wood for a fire to keep warm, or Status to gratify Your Ego, or Money to gain power, Sex to gain pleasure, Adventure to feel Alive, its accumulation of some sort), it keeps You on that level and it is never satisfied. Why is Elon still doing what he is doing, he doesn't have to do anything with a personal worth of more than $150 Billion, it is that he is still un-fulfilled, not matter how much more money he makes, how many more things he creates, achieves, sells/buys, whatever happens he will feel un fulfilled because its Accumulation of something he is not, he is not the Body or Mind, but he's living on that level of Awareness, not naturally Blissful, so its endless searching outside of Yourself.. p.s. Nice Sharing, Wonderful exploration and example of what is Possible if one strives and seeks to know..

Your Welcome:)

"Isha is not an Indian set up" -SJV

Of Course its about Me, its about My Interests, just as You have Your interests. You see the crazy that is here, just in Your response its sort of crazy, if its not about ME then who is it about? But You are a Part of Me, I am involved with You, and Everyone else, if Your a jerk and we meet then it messes up my life as well, I deal with this everyday, Unconscious Jerks everywhere, makes life very hardonsome, so with more Truth and Reality being promoted and Realized then Life becomes easier for ME and You! Its not pointless to preach to the crazy that is here, they are the ones that need to hear it the most, but I've done that already, nothing much more to be said...

That My Partner is Complete within themselves and therefore not Extracting or Taking anything from Me, their Peaceful/Blissful of their own nature, they choose to be with Me not to get something from Me but to Share what they are with Me, and I am the same for them.. Relationships should never be about Extraction from Other, its about Sharing with Other!

My Motivation is simple, I'm super interested in Truth and Reality, Sadhguru is a Physical Representation of this on this planet living Today and Active! I've also promoted recently Yogananda videos, Kute Blackson, Sri M, and many others. all these ppl represent a form of Truth, with Sadhguru he's probably put out the most on all fronts, and has been doing it for decades, so when ppl deny this its bothersome for Me, it like someone is ripping away a part of my skin, and its not me idololizing someone, I've been thru that years and years ago, I know what that is like and recognize it, its Truth being denied by a bunch of drug addicts, which is super sad for them and all of us as a whole!

You only proclaim on forums like this that "I am God", "No others exist except Me", "I am Imagining everything else except Me", or you post Journals that never end, because You take Yourself too Seriously. Taking Yourself too seriously means You are not in Truth, or Reality, because You are just a spec, smaller than a sand particle in context of the size of this Universe, of this Galaxy lol, and You think You are God, the Only One is Existence, Imagining Everything else, lol.. In simple terms this means You have a miserable Life Experience within Yourself, so You create a Grand super Huge Ego, that makes You Feel Better, then proclaim it to all that will listen, that makes You feel even better, but in a year You will feel like shit or even worse! Loosen Up a Bit, go in front of the Mirror, and Laugh at what You see, Laugh and shake Your head at all the stupid things You did today, we all do allot of stupid things everyday, Laugh at it. Take all Your Judgements about Yourself and Others, and just Laugh it away, make things real simple and dumb, this will bring You to a Simple Life of Experience, and no Judgements, no Proclamations, No Belief, No nothing, just pure Living Now, Enjoying what Is, and having some Fun!

I understand it well, this obsession with Absolute, when You are not there in a real way, it will make You miss what is here, your obviously missing it. This is the same with religious zealots that say Heaven is in another place, how do You know that You are not already in Heaven/Absolute but are completely missing it? You don't realize this hence all this talk about Absolute this or that, its just a fantasy that You have made up in Your Mind, a mind that You are very attached to and is very full! But this mind has nothing to do with the Absolute, empty or full doesn't matter... But You will reply, say something this or that absolute then it will be forgotton in a day, who cares!

You definitely do not have an "Empty" mind with Your 10K+posts already and daily non stop posting here, so what is that about? Again its a false realization of what is, this stuff here we saying and posting means nothing, forgotton in a day or two.. And You forget to add in Free Will which we all have but few invoke, the possibility to be a torture is there but the choice is also, and few make the conscious choice... Empty Mind why would one want to have an empty mind, rather make it super full, fill it up, use it wisely, drop the mind when You don't need it, that is the solution, empty mind means stupidity over and over again..The problem is identification with Mind, Mind is what I am, which is false...

Why comes from Mind its okay up to a point, if You keep yourself Mind based Why based, then its like counting to infinity, then sooner than you realize life is over and its was only spent on counting!

"Love Everyone, serve Everyone, remember God, tell the Truth; it's All One" This serves and enhances life, Nuclear Apocalypses don't, that is the difference, if You don't recognize this then You know Nothing! This is the problem when ppl's realization come from just drugs, they think they know when in reality its just a false image created by something artificial...

I think some of these types, Sadhguru, Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu, Yogananda etc are more than just pointers, they serve a higher purpose, their presence is a balance and a force at the sametime, I think what we have here on this planet, the way life is is very unique and special in a way, the Potential that exists in all life here is not usual, so something has to spur it along to evolve, ppl like SG are doing just that on lots of levels, of course there are others that are doing it here at different levels too, ppl we don't know about working the smaller scale, its all fine and good, we need them all..

He has, he always prefaces everything by saying it all comes from his personal experience, these Yogies and Rishis have been around a very very long time, I would assume there are a few of them for each generation or so for the ppl on this planet to use and learn from, so he isn't a normal person coming from a belief or simple ideologic POV, he obviously has the skills to do consecrations of Temples, initiate ppl into Yogic practices without meeting them, do fantastic physical activities at old age, travel the world and not suffer jet lag and on and on it goes, I am not sure what sort of proof People need to know that he is not just an ordinary person like You and I!!!!!

Its a Yogic science thing, I am not an expert on it, but SG didn't invent it, Astrology and Cosmology has been around in India for Millenia, and the thing is they didn't have the technology that we have today, they just knew via their connection with Everything, as Yogananda said in the video I posted, part of you is always connected with the Astral Realm, its sounds like place similar to how the Christians describe Heaven, anything You want to do is possible there, You can go to the ends of this Universe, which sounds similar to some of the trips reports ppl talking when taking dmt and such things, so they knew the Reality of Creation/Creator because we are micro Universes within Ourselves, as well SG has said that if You can push Your Agna (3rd eye) out in front of You 21" and keep it there You will be Aware of any major event happening anywhere the Universe, so we have access to this as humans, its just a matter of striving for it and Experiencing it..Infinity and zero were invented in India!

There are no "Individual" souls, soul is just another word to describe Life or Absolute, its akin to blowing air inside of a bubble, we mistake ourselves for the bubble but we are the air/absolute, soul is just an embodied part of it, like the drop in the ocean eg. so a Rose is a piece of Life, just like we are, but Humans are more capable than a Rose on certain levels of Consciousness and such things, we can realize more about Reality and Truth than a Rose, or Ant, or any other life form here...

End the Cycle of Individuality, so the analogy of a "Drop in the Ocean is the Ocean" once the drop is put back into the Ocean it is one with the Ocean again, but the drop itself as a singularity is as well as representation of the Ocean itself, its one and the same but just a drop...You merge or go to another realm of sortst (see my yoganada thread where he talks about other realms), but in the end the cycle of individuality ends, and it merges with Absolute.. My theory is that we are Potentialities of Absolute in Human form playing a game of duality and materialism to eventually come back to the realization we are the Absolute in essential essence...

Yes that is the goal, so that Your Always Aware, in Wakefulness, Deep Sleep and anywhere else.. AUM symbolizes this, there are 5 general states, Wakefulness, Dream, Deep Sleep, Maya (Illusionary), Turiya or Pure Consciousness State..All Spiritual Practices are about getting one to Pure Consciousness state as the Fundamental state You are In...

Ok if You say so:) I'll listen to You instead:)

This happens naturally when we all go into Deep Sleep, all conscious perception stops, most everything stops (not the body function and intelligence running it), and the thing is we can be Aware in this state of Deep sleep, but its not mind/mental awareness, its something else, but this is practice for physical death, the practice is that You be aware of the moment You transition btwn Wakefullness and Deep Sleep, if You develop that Awareness while alive, then at the moment of physical Death if You keep that Awareness on, your Aware of the Moment of Physical Death and transition to other realm, then that is meaningful when in that other realm, Your consciousness is more active and alive while there...

I'm not sure, as karma is responsible for Creation to Happen, Creation is not Infinite, as there has been 83 other Creations or Existences like this one but different, this is the 84th and there will be others but it ends one day (Billions of Years from now), so I am not sure if karma is infinite or not, my inkling is that it is limited..

I interpret this as "Relative", in the end it goes from Gross (Relative) to Subtle (Absolute), if You don't do it, then You come back for more lessons till You do it, You meaning Individual, with Absolute inside of You that is dormant in Your Experience, if You wake up (Absolute is now Realized and Alive in Your Experience) then You are more Subtle in Consciousness compared to not realizing it and Gross in Consciousness, all of this happens on the Relative Level...

That's Good then, we all have to find our way thru it that works for Us. I'm the same when it comes to Spiritual material, videos and reading, I've been thru that stage, heard it all, in the end they all say the samethings that lead to the same place, I'm more into the HOW, and making it a more permanent state of Experience, I still have simple short states of stress response (maybe last 1-5 min then I come back to Peace experience) and I have great patients and empathy for "Others", except when in traffic and driving lol...

You have to realize it as an Individual (you could have been a rose or an ant a thousand times over), in Your previous incarnations You didn't so You came back to do so, probably because You are on this forum and interested in Spirituality as You are, then it means somewhere along the way it touched You in someway, as well Karma is at play, things have happened, actions and reactions have taken place, cause/effect and the residual consequence of it all is happening in this lifetime for You, this has to be worked out plus the new karma that is created by whatever moment to moment reaction You are having, so its complex, there is a process to make this all clear up and no reincarnation to happen for you within this lifetime but that takes more commitment and dedication..

Yes but the key question is "Are You Accessing It?", if not then Ultimate Reality is not in Your Perception/Experience and therefore not real for You, so its Relative Reality always first and foremost, all this talk about Ultimate/Absolute reality is BS if it is not in Your Perception/Experience.. Yoga is one way to access it and keep it as a foundational experience while here and doing normal daily work and responsibilities, unless You want to dissolve and no longer do normal daily life as most of us are, then what is the point of talking about something that is not the reality for most, it creates fantasy and means nothing...
