Ishanga

Its not tricking the body, its control of the body which is in our capability, but no one does this, their slaves to their body, mind and everything else around them,,. and its not about living forever, there is only Now, its about Realizing the Greatness of Life and Now..

Because half wrong is still wrong in my book, it can lead to lots of mistakes and suffering, so as I've said before lots of the things You and other post (non dualist) is correct but its not the whole story, so it has to be pointed out to those reading and lurkers and those interested in Spirituality. There are People... Something is Happening.. Things have to be done to transform Your Life if Your life feels like suffering and pain all the time, and its not just about the Mind.. There are levels to all of this, many don't see, but its Reality. Someone has to state it and show the difference... I don't Kiss his ass either, I just promote what works, You do the same so please!!

Ppl get off on Intensity and Suffering is an Intense emotion, so since they cannot create anything else due to Unconsciousness they create suffering for themselves so they can feel their hearts beating, otherwise they feel super dead inside, but they don't have to do it this way, its like putting bad fuel into a premium engine it will sooner or later destroy the engine, its not necessary to Suffer.. I have Pain all the time, physical pain, emotional upsets but they don't last long, its super temporary and I don't dwell on it, I deal with it in the moment it comes up, I'm no Buddha but going in that direction.. Its not about being in a Zen State all the time, its about being Human, if Your Below Peaceful Experience most of the time Your living below Human potential big time, on the scale of Positive Human Emotions, Peace is 0, Ecstasy is 10, anything below 0 is below Human Potential and that is Tragedy...

Good Sharing! I've realized this too, and with Martial Arts, the avg person looking at some of the training I was learning and then taught would say "this is horseshit" and has nothing to do with fighting, but they just don't know, they won't know until they get hit in the face or they strike someone and it has no effect, its the same here, ppl with belief systems, it blinds them, and I am not immune to this as well, but I have the sadhana and the kriyas and asanas like You say, and that even its out, but if You don't have that, and all You have is a belief system, call it Christianity or Non Dualism, then Your going to get stuck for 99.9% of the ppl that get involved with it that way, Ramana Maharshi is a rare occurrence lets put it that way...

Yes am aware of it.. doesn't diminish his work and these investigations into Yogic science and benefits from it! I thoroughly investigate all I am interested in and research into..

Only Experientially is this True, on a Experiential level all there is is Your Internal Experience, You've never really experienced anything outside the boundary of Your Physicality and Internal Experience generating mechanism, all Your senses are outward bound but are inward interpreted, but there are other Bodies and Minds, but only One Essence by which is what we are all fundamentally void of the Individual Body/Mind complexes.. We all Identify with our Bodies and Mind, otherwise You/I would not be here posting and replying right now...nor would you be with family or care for them in any way... I Your Wife and Child disappeared right now, how would You respond?

Wim Hof has also undertaken allot of testing by Scientist, at the least I would classify him as a half Yogi

no, someone slaps me they deserved to be slapped back unless I really deserved to be slapped...no suffering involved.. Pain and Suffering are not the samethings, but we've been thru that discussion many times on here before, not going there now...

I don't believe what he says, or dis believe it, I just don't have the inclination to investigate it for myself, that is not my field of interest, I want Blissful Experience naturally first then see what happens with life after that is done...

In Wing Chun we never kick above the waist!!!!

I'm not a believer, but I am not a dis believer either...

no I would slap You back..

I never said it would revolutionize the world, you said no Yogi have undergone Scientific testing, they have that is all!

You said no Yogi has undergone Scientific testing, so just showing You were wrong on that count, plus he basically died stopped his heart from beating for 17 secs on command that's impressive to say the least, but I don't know anything about levitation or such things, but not all meditators can control their involuntary body functions, it takes serious practice to do it at Will, which all of Us are capable of for sure with enough sadhana and practice/intention to do such things, not all want to display or focus on these sorts of abilities...

I haven't mastered it yet personally, but I don't suffer now anymore I think on any real level, I experience pain on all levels for sure, that never leaves Us, but I don't suffer it... Suffering comes from Unconsciousness, reactivity, being a slave to outside situations, resistance to what is. living mentally in the past and future...

Yes exactly !!

Doctors super surprised how Sadhguru could perform the activities he did while having 2 brain bleeds happening and severe pain, and talk about his ability to recover from this and Brain surgery much faster than expected...

Yes I think So! Desire is the same meaning as Life, Life means the expression of the Absolute, so for that too happen Form has to be present, we are the highest Form on this planet in that we are the most capable Expression and Experientially. So Desire is about Being More than what You are Right Now.. If You are Broke, You want $10 to feed Yourself, then when You feed Yourself You want something to drink, then after You drink you want to sleep lol, then tomorrow You want $20 to do more of this cycle, then You become a Billionaire one day, and You want to be a multi Billionaire after that, so its just a matter of where it manifests within You and in where You feel Lack. If you lack in Love, Love in Your currency, if in Power then Control is Your currency, if In boredom then Excitement is Your Currency and on and on it goes..Spirituality is about becoming totally Free and Unbounded, Liberation which is what we really want, to expand Endlessly and Be Boundless!

Sadhguru shared a real incident about his brain's medical test.

Wrong.. " Swami Rama's abilities were tested scientifically at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas in 1971. The tests demonstrated his ability to produce different brain waves, control his heart rate, and create temperature differentials: Brain waves Swami Rama was able to produce alpha waves, theta waves, and delta waves at will. He could stay aware throughout and describe what was happening in the lab. Heart rate Swami Rama voluntarily stopped his heart from pumping blood for 17 seconds by increasing his heart rate to 300 beats per minute. Temperature differentials Swami Rama was able to create a temperature differential of 5 degrees Celsius between two areas on the palm of his right hand. He was also able to raise and lower the temperature in adjacent muscles by 10°F. Swami Rama's abilities were widely reported in the media and increased interest in his teachings."

I find it sad in a metaphorical way because it just leads to ignorance and that leads to suffering and more suffering leads to me having to deal with it everyday lol... A suffering population means more bullshit to deal with everyday in real life functionality... it gets old after awhile:)

I create my Experience Consciously or Unconsciously, I create the world around Me situationally, I create my reaction or response to the world around Me, I create the Intentions then the Actions that come from the Intentions.. I am the Creator and a piece of the Creation at the sametime.. You create by becoming Conscious of the Foundation of what You Are, and that is what we there before creation happened, a Grand sort of Intelligence beyond calculation, emotion, intention, intellect, ideology and such, its so grand it can do trillions of things within a cell within what we consider one second...

Predictions coming from Hindu Text, the Gita and other texts...that appear to accurately describe present day events and technology!

The only thing I would say is that a Being is an embodiment of the Absolute, which is Us in its highest form at least as far as we know... There isn't just One Being, there is no Being in Absolute, because Absolute/Brahman/Shiva is not an entity or form or embodiment or physicality, or any concept we can imagine. Its just a Potential/Possibility Realm, so since Duality/Karma has to exist as part of the Potential equation, we are here to work it out and play the game as BEINGS, with Individual Karmic makeups and conditionings, free will, consciousness/unconsciousness etc so Absolute can experience itself in trillions/limitless ways...that's my guess:)

See told You so lol, they don't see it, nor do they want too, just ridicule anything outside their belief system, sad really:(
