There's a contraction here in what You say, first You say Dualism is impossible, Dual meaning 2, then You say "You have been away too long in your own eyes" this means there is two, so its contradictory to think and believe this way imo... There is Duality, it is here and a living reality, just see what happens when one day You are with Your family and things are going great (as they should be, and as I wish for everyone:)), then the next day something terrible can happen, it happens all the time in this dual world, tragedy happens, here in Toronto its a daily occurrence, to deny it is to deny reality! What is the point of it all? Without Duality, then Experience cannot happen, if Experience cannot happen, then Absolute/God/Shiva cannot experience itself, if that cannot happen then Potential does not exist, and Potential is what God/Absolute/Shiva is in Reality!

Krishna Avatar Is The God!? | Krishna Janmashtami | Mahabharat | Kalki 2898 AD | Sadhguru |

I just luv this explanation of Habits from Sadhguru, before I saw this video this sort of realization never entered my mind or awareness, but when I did watch it it changed most everything, its so cool and makes too much sense and is practical! Habits are disempowering, because Habit indicate Unconsciousness, Your not aware of what You doing while engaged in a Habit of sorts, so in essence all Habits are Bad! Consciousness means I am Aware of all Actions being performed at all times, there are 4 basic areas of Action taking place at all times within a Human, Body, Mind, Emotional and Energy action, how many ppl are Aware of this? Very Few. Now even on the one level of Bodily Action, if You create Habits, then when you do simple actions like brushing Your teeth, if Your not aware of what is happening it becomes a Habit action, then Your developing Unconsciousness, this is happening in lots of ways in ppls lives on many different levels of their Being, Unconsciousness of the Actions they are performing, the consequence of this is that Ppl are Living Life by Accident, and this leads to Suffering on a large scale. The solution is too bring Awareness into Your Life, become Aware of all the Actions taking place in Your Life, Awareness is not about Thinking or Mental Focus necessarily, its about I am Living and Aware of what is going on within this Moment, once that happens then Life changes and is transformed, Karma is no longer a problem in Your Life, and then Free Will becomes available to You, You can now choose how to be, and how You want to Live Your Life, Predetermination is no longer possible for You now! So all ppl can become Aware, that is a basic capability of any and all Human Beings, if they strive and seek it out!

I know I have 5 fingers on each hand, its not a belief, its experiential, when someone picks up a belief more than likely its not experiential, its like ppl that pray to some God, they are asking for this or that, or for an answer to a "Why" Question, but how is this possible to question this so called Creator, who is supposedly Omni this and that, if that is so, why is this little human questioning them about what is happening in their life? So this is belief, they belief in an entity above them, but its not experiential, if it was they would not pray like this and ask why or for stuff, they would just live and when they pray they would give thanks, as who is more aware of reality, this God or themselves?

Define "Me" please:)

Transformation as You mention above is built into the Creation, its Alive and Adaptive and Creative, just like we are, so Creation and the intelligence inherent within it is reflected in all us in the highest way on this planet, no other life form on this planet has this Capability like we do! There is no concern from Creation as to what is happening in any Life form or of Us, nothing cares what is happening in your life, only You care and your loved ones maybe!

The Atmosphere for Creation is what has been created, Whatever You want to call it, Absolute or God, it created the Atmosphere to "Allow" Creation and what we have to today to happen, it did not create specifically us or any other life form, this is called Evolution, we didn't just appear here spontaneously as we are now, we evolved to what we are now, so this is an example of Potential being Realized...

LoL, okay thanks for sharing, I thought this app was something Leo had added on since it is called "Leo AI" and I hadn't seen it before anywhere else, but its a part of the Brave Browser I use, total misunderstanding on my part:)

LoL, yes its a very nice quote, he also mentions we are not the body or mind, which is true as well... Robert was gifted Spiritually, he was more than just a devotee of Ramana, he visited and spent time with other Guru's too, and had experiences before travelling to India I believe!

Your right on point here... Either Leo is testing the ppl here on the forum, or he has a very distorted view of Reality and this God of his, as he has stated clearly before that there is no such thing as a God as described in the Bible or another entity as such, he's stated this many times before... Rape and any other action is a Consequence not a Reality that has to happen, no one ever here mentions Free Will and such as another Attribute of Awakening and Awareness of Reality, but that is the determining factor here!

Yes of course, I wasn't talking about being in situations like that, I'm just referring to Your statement of "And since we can't stay in higher levels, I'll struggle until the day I die", we can stay in Blissful states... If ppl can be in constant Depressed states, why can't ppl be in constant Blissful States, if one is possible the other has to be, its just a matter of maintaining it, but its natural for us to be in at the very least Peaceful state of Experience... Now even in war like messed up situations, one can maintain a sense of Peace.. Peace does not mean being a pacifists, it means Your inner experience is in a state of non resistance/acceptance to what is, its a place of no stress response and your at Ease (not lazy or lethargic), this brings about an enhancement in all areas of Your Capability, Intellectual, Physical, Emotional an Energetically as well, Depression does the opposite, so how do You want to be within Yourself when the shit is hitting the fan and its a warzone outside?? You choose, I choose to be at Peace within, then do what I have to do to make things better and more Empowering for all around Me!

Why can't You stay in high states? We are meant to be in high states, everything about us is enhanced when in high states, but maybe for other reasons, like situational circumstances, place of residence or something else is holding You back?

What comes first Perception or Experience? I think they are related, if Your Experience is Blissful, would that change Your Perception, as well if Your Perception is Enhanced, via no identifications of any kind filtering You, would that not change how You Perceive?

It depends on how one wants to portray it, in the culture of today Light is positive, Dark is negative, but this is culturally based ideology. Existentially, when we look up in the sky, the way our vision is set up, we notice the stars more than the blackness/darkness, but in reality there is more darkness than light, as with everything, even an atom which is mostly empty space, that space is dark..so most of reality that we can perceive is dark, not light, light is the absence of dark, and light comes then goes, darkness always is...

Sadhguru talks about it here, the video is mostly a verbal description of how Creation happened, he forwards it by saying "No-Thing" cannot be described by using words, but he attempts it anyways since ppl are asking, in it the subject of darkness comes up, I've stamped it at that point in the video...

This is not about "Telling the Body how to Feel", our Bodies are naturally meant to be Heathy and full of Energy and Vitality, its that we are doing things to bring this sort of situation down, we eat bad food, we don't exercise, we sit on the phone all day, etc... The Mind if there for us to use to Survive another day, that is the basics of it, its Intellect based and Intellect is a Survival tool, you won't go beyond Survival Level of Perception, Awareness via the Mind as it is in the modern day, and both Mind and Body are Accumulations, Body via the Food we eat (hence its a Earth Body), Mind via the input of data from the 5 senses, it comes in, its filtered thru the Intellect, Identity, Memory, and then maybe to the level of Chitta or Consciousness, but for most it does not go up that far, so all You to do is have a space experientially btwn what is You and what You have Accumulated, you are not anything that You have Accumulated, You are the thing that was there before any accumulation started, some call this Soul, Atman, God, or I like to use the word Life,,, once that is in Your Experience, the Body and Mind are Healthy naturally or will heal Naturally and Peace, Bliss are your Natural Experience, from this place of Stability, then You explore what it means to be Human and the Potential in Life!

I agree for the most part, we are not anything we have accumulated, we have accumulated our Body and Mind, our thoughts, opinions, beliefs, ideologies we hold as true, are all borrowed for the most part, not many ppl are truly authentic in their POV or Understanding, only a few are coming from a Pure Perception of Reality, that is why we have Guru's they are coming from that and can help us get there too, don't listen to their words, watch their actions and You'll know if there Authentic or not.. Don't worry about Free Wil. that is a consequence of Awareness, not something You think up and try to execute, but it our Human Ability to have Free Will, to decide how I want to be within Myself, to determine my Destiny and Direction in Life, that is partly what it means to be Human, otherwise we are no different from the animals or plant life which are more in a predetermined state of existence than we are!

Interesting example You used above as I have actually thought about that same example and how ppl can believe in a God creator Bible character, the way it is set up and such, its just completely ridiculous, just imagine a Supreme Being, Creator of Everything, all Knowing and Powerful, available in all places at all times, allowing a Baby to be lost or in my thoughts stranded in the snow on a winter day, it has happened, but this so called God that supposedly loves everyone and cares, lets this happen, its just plain old nuts! Since the above is not the Reality, then it is I think as I said to the best of my ability and understanding, we are here to play the game of becoming Aware of our True Nature, in this dual, material, survival based world and culture, via striving and seeking we can experience life from a more Aware POV, via that Life here on Earth Transforms, which is why the most important thing that can happen in the world is the Raising of Human Consciousness, when that happens in mass scales then things Transform!

If I raped that is, I have not, so rape for me doesn't exist! But the act of rape is happening right now, someone is committing rape on someone else, so whomever is doing this act is doing so of their own will, or lack thereof.. Its all Possibility, its not absolute, we can choose to Rape or Not Rape if Awareness is high and one is in Peace/Bliss states, how is it possible to be Evil if one is Blissed Out naturally?? Not possible!

Evil only exist as a Possibility, not as an Absolute that it will happen, just as Benevolence is a Possibility, as is with any action or emotion, experience, or situation that can happen or not happen, its all Possibility, what is the deciding factor is You and I, I can choose to be Evil or Benevolent, it has nothing to do with some God or Creator of sorts, Life being akin to God/Absolute, just sets up the playing field, we are here to work it out via our Awareness and then Free Will, Choice and our Ability to Respond!

Well there are lazy ways to do it too, if You can do absolutely No Thing, no thinking, no dreaming, no imagining, no ideas popping up, no judgement, no ego, no thing other than breathing and bodily functioning and being absolutely here and now, then Your there, karma is no problem for You, but can you be like this??? If not then Japa, mantra, kriya, asana, Jnana, Bhakti, Prananayama, on and on it goes...

I think once again the wrong wording is being Used, You cannot use words like evil and bad and wrong and the opposite in context with Absolute, Brahman/Shiva, God or whatever label You put too it, as Leo said this is Existential Level... Evil and Goodness and such labels are on the Human Level, so why are ppl taking Human level things and applying it too God/Absolute and such? It doesn't go there, but ppl are buying in to that there is this God/Absolute and then there is a ME, US, Humanity, Life forms etc, its not this way at all, there is Just Life, which is akin to God/Absolute, this Life is within Us all, we just have to be Conscious that we are Fundamental Life, with Bodies and Mind here on Earth and an Ability to Be Aware that we are this Life. Life is not the situations and circumstance one is in, its not the past events and experiences we have all had, nor the future imagination plans we are creating in our heads or dreams of the future, Life is present Only Now, its intense, active liveness that allows all creation to happen each moment and before and after this moment, all we can do as HUMANS is bring our Awareness of this to high intensity, then no Evil will exist, only Empowerment, which You can label as whatever You want, I say its Good, Love, Bliss, Aliveness, Truth, Consciousness, Hopes, Dreams, Success all the so called "Positive" things...

In my research they don't disagree that much, some do on some details, but mostly they just put it in different terminology, I've heard many say basically the same things!

1. Yes maybe so, the inbetween apect 2. Intelligence is everything and everywhere, in existence and non existence (physical/non physical), how does one describe existence, absolute/brahman/shiva other than saying its is super complex, connected, integrated, full of potential, that sounds like grand intelligence of sorts to me, not some love emotion that simple humans feel on and off depending on needs and wants.. 3. Energy Body, prana/kundalini/chakras and nadis, how does everything within us operate without Energy of sorts, its on the gross and subtle level, kundalini is life realized within a Human Body, all life has Kundalini, we are the only ones that can realize/be aware of it... 4. What I meant was what is Feeling or being capable of Feeling when there is no physical body and mind complex available in that astral realm???
