Yes he's correct. Goals, Purpose, Meaning are future orientation Failure, Bitterness, Anger is past orientation Life is NOW orientation Life is all the really Exists If that is realized then Your there, if not sadhana is needed, sadhana is not about Life but about getting rid of goals and failure and all that other bs we have in our heads.

I remember a few years ago meeting someone at the airport, he asked what I do, I said I teach Kung Fu, he said he goes to China once a year for mths at a time, luv'd it there, the culture that is, he found the ppl helped one another, young generation helped older generations and medical treatment was high quality and cheap, he hated coming back to Canada and seeing ppl spend money on cars and trucks but live in a dump, and that the whole ideology here sucked.. Now I'm not saying China is great, the government and their political system maybe messed up, and from what I have researched their in for some big trouble in the near future, famines and total societal collapse, but the ppl seem okay, less egoic for sure...Americans are nationalistic, think they are the best in the world at everything, not humble generally, and their system (as I wrote earlier) is failing miserably, Canada is in hot pursuit and on the same path, we are just more Sorry about it, lol...

Raise the Level of Your Consciousness/Awareness, be the Light You want to see in the World, live it, then others see it and know its possible, it will take a few generations but maybe we can turn things around!

Well via a "High" state of Consciousness, Actions change, Intentions Change, Sex does not become a way to seek pleasure or attention, but a means to connecting with someone in an intimate and intense physical way that sometimes transcends the physicality, so that is the difference.. Porn is there to make Money (Money is low consciousness), and for the stars to seek attention and make Money (both are low consciousness attributes), so therefore Porn in and of itself is Low consciousness. Sex itself is just there to procreate, that is the most basic of Survival level, which is low low consciousness. We as Humans can have great pleasure from Sex, so when Sex goes into the Mind it become perverse/distorted, which is Low Consciousness.. We all go thru it, all these sorts of stages, as we age we realize what it is and how it relates to Life, or we should anyways, lots do not!

From Ben Stewart the Guy the made the Esoteric Agenda Docu Years ago.. Moloch.. " Are you curious about the hidden forces that shape our modern culture? Moloch refers to a hypothetical entity where individuals are incentivized to act against their own interests for the supposed benefit of the group. This is the world of Moloch. We examine how Moloch has infiltrated areas such as social media, politics, and economics, leading to negative outcomes for all involved. But don't despair! We also discuss practical ways in which individuals can recognize and combat the influence of Moloch in their own lives. It's time to take control and push back against these negative incentives. Join us for a captivating and thought-provoking discussion on Moloch and its impact on our society."- BJS

@Pro24 Confidence is a false sense of Knowing.. Clarity trumps over Confidence, if You have Clarity then You will walk thru life with Ease, with Confidence You walk thru life with challenges still because You are in a dark strange room and cannot see, but if You could see then there is no challenges, and via that You are more capable of going beyond the simple desires to be known, or success/rich/ and so forth the society puts on You as Your desires, true desire is to be boundless, absolutely free, and experientially connected to all things all at once..this doesn't happen with Confidence, it starts to happen with Clarity!

I haven't watched the video's posted, but I've watched so much over the years I agree anyways with what You say. We're living in a big fantasy, our government leaders/politicians are not there because they luv the country and what's best for it/us, they do it because they luv power and personal security and control, for themselves, their image and such, so its all a lie.. Our Economic system is completely corrupt and leans towards a small group of elites, whomever they are, yes some outside this group are allowed to come in and prosper but this is for surface level appearances only, to make us think we all can do it too, but we can't there is not enough $$ in the system for everyone to be rich or so called successful, plus who would do the work to get all the shit done?? Our Education system is corrupt, it teaches us nothing about Life, but about facts that change every 10yrs, and how to be a slave to a work/economic/elite system so shit gets done.. Out Health Care system is corrupt, it keeps us alive and able but not Healthy at all, the quality of life does not improve as we age, but we are able to live longer, so they say its working when it doesn't, too many are on pharma drugs and its profitting them billions, and disabling the masses.. Our Social Systems are corrupt, they make us into Zombies, ppl stuck to their phones like its the holy grail or something fantastic, not many appreciate nature or life itself in all its Immensity, their took stuck in the phone, getting brain washed, and full of ideology that is not original to them but borrowed from a millions sources. War rules makes them tons of money and more power control over the masses, and to depopulate the world unnaturally, we need less population yes, but not via the methods of death and destruction!

My Chinese Astrology sign is Monkey, and from what I researched about it it fits me well, I can be sort of goofy and come up with some weird shit on the spot and like to put ppl on he spot for small periods of time, at work I do this allot, say something to make ppl have a certain look or thought then hold it for a few seconds then tell them its joke, gets a rise out of everyone, so monkey fits my personality, but I can be stupidly serious about certain things, which I'm aware of, gotta let the monkey free all the time:)

Teal is so fake and just wants attention, have researched her, its pretty obvious what she is about, she is the female version of Frank Yang...

I started a thread about this sort of on the Spirituality Forum, its about a woman that used to share videos on Yoga, How to deal with Trauma and a bit of Psychology (this goes back 5 to 7 yrs ago she started this, then in the last 6 mths she's been silent on that front), to now she is full blown into doing hard core porn, and says she wants to make it "High Conscious" porn, but if You watch what she does its just like the others, and she admits she luvs to be watched and have compliments on her body by co workers and film crews, it gets her off, she recently went thru some heavy losses so that may have something to do with her change of course in life, its her life she can do what she wants but imo its not a high conscious choice and coming from Free Will, its more like she wants to forget the losses and feel good about herself and its compulsive in nature!

You can Experience everything, but never will You Understand or Know everything, big difference... We don't know everything about an Atom, which is one of the smallest aspects of Existence, so why would we be able to know about the Universe which is so large we cannot fathom it...

I enjoyed them and the quality is really high, Dan also has a good forum set up, its here, much nicer over there than here:) https://login.circle.so/sign_in?request_host=community.awakentheworld.com#email

Quote from Leo Gura, from another thread about Porn.. "Because only a dysfunctional and low consciousness human would be invovled in the porn industry."

I used to watch her video's, the first video I saw of her was her talking about personality types and trauma and how to deal with it, she promoted Yoga, Tantra, and had workshops, she dated another Utube Spiritual Guy as well for a while years ago, she basically was promoting her self as a self help Guru of sorts, into Spirituality and promoting healthy Living, then she goes offline and is now Doing Porn, what happened here?? video from 6yrs ago... now her today,,

I agree, the identity that I am "Always" an addict or Alcoholic is not Empowering IMO, and then they lose their ability to Respond, and become Reactive in nature. Having the ability to Respond, gives back sovereignty to ones self. Just imagine Your hand and arm just moving around at will, up down sideways, on its on will, would that be a problem? So why is that we think controlling our thoughts, our fears and desires is not possible when we can control most all other parts of our body in major ways? There's always other issues underlying the need to use any substance for pain or suffering relief, watch Gabor Mate, he's an expert on this stuff, worked downtown Vancouver drug addiction central for many years...its mostly about childhood, lack of love or attention and issues being push down then suffering comes afterwards... This is why I like the Path of Bliss, Bliss is not the goal of any spiritual path or method, but its the grease/oil of the engine, when Your in a Blissful state regularly, Your not working against yourself, Your intelligence that is within is working for You now, and that will propel You to higher Possibilities and Potentials on the Spiritual Path, its a tragedy isn't it when most all the ppl on the planet are not living up to their Potential, and most are not!

Why Intellectuals Look Stupid in Front of Sadhguru? | Chakra | Life | Occult | Mysticism |

I agree.. Being an Addict is like Starving to Death, when its that sort of situation, Survival is primary., Talking or trying to pass along Truth and Reality via a Spiritual path or teaching is not what is needed in that sort of situation, the timing is wrong. plus it will fall on deaf ears for sure.. When Survival is taken care of (like it is for most of Us, we have more access to everything today than ever before). then we can talk and go into Spiritual matters where life possibilities open up beyond just Surviving another day and feeding, protecting ourselves and our egos..

On an "Experiential" Level Solipsism is true in a way, all Your Experience happens within You, None of Us have ever experienced anything outside of Ourselves, all our Senses are inward bound, they perceive what is outside and bring it too life within Ourselves, but our senses do tell us on a basic level that there is an "Outside" and its Real in a manner of speaking. On that level we are not alone and just Us, there are Others and they have their own internal Universe going on.. The use of language like Dream or Imaginary, just ignore it, tell them to drop a 100lbs brick on their foot, they won't do it, but its a dream, but it hurts and will cause suffering which they don't want to have, so that is real enough for Me, this idea that only I exist and everything else is Imaginary is Narcissistic to say the least!!!

Yes, that is why most paths today are Ego based. Non Duality thinking is just that, its intellectual, more of a Jnana Path but its intellectual, when they say "Nothing has to be done", "Nothing is Happening", its lazy way in reality.. The main question is "Can You do NOTHING", that means, no thinking, no wanting/needing, no dreaming, no imagining, no anything other than body functions and breathing? Most cannot do this, so they need to seek a way, the seeking is just about Recognizing and Realizing, not about the Enlightenment part, its already there (as untapped Potential), it just has to come into One's Experience, by which the non dualist seem to deny but Experience is the most important capability we have as Humans, if there is no Experience, there is no Point to all of This...

@Princess Arabia Two key words You used are realize and recognize, that is what Sadhana works on, because as You say we are already Enlightened, already in the Absolute, which is true in a sense, but we don't recognize it or realize it or forgot it, that is where the work is, its the same with Bliss or Joy, or Healthy Body, or anything that we desire or don't desire, its already present we just have to manifest it in our experience. When one is not in recognition or recognizing it, then that is non Realization, Non Enlightenment, Absolute is still functioning, but its not in the Experience of the Individual, that is the work and difference, and one has to admit that most ppl are not in Realization of it! This makes a huge difference in one's life!

For sure Life is "NOT" a dream, dream is make believe, made up mind stuff.. Yes there is a mental construct of sorts going on within all of Us, but that has more to do with our judgements about ppl, places and things, not about Reality, not about things Existing outside ourselves and Reality as such, it is just we cannot know everything via our basic 5 sense perception tools, they only give us enough data for Us to live another day, if You were to Perceive everything there was too perceive at any given moment, You would not care about Survival Process at all, so the Human Species would not have lasted so long, to stop that our senses were toned down big time, so we only perceive enough to live another day.. But we have more Potential within Us to Perceive way more than we normally do, that is what is happening when one takes psychedelics, it allows the Perception to open up a ton so You Experience Reality at a higher and more vivid Perception level.. The whole Point of Life is for Life/Absolute to Experience it self, via our Bodies, Minds, Emotions, Creativity, Experiences, Highs, Lows, Love/Hate and so forth, as well as all other life that goes thru that stuff on lower levels...

I'm in the Same Boat, want the Bliss of Sat Chit Ananda, I think via that route it is the safest and fastest, the other routes have too much drama and suffering involved, don't want any of that at all!.. I think the ones talking about God, or Solipsism are Ego tripping basically, when they refer to themselves and associate it with some other figure from the past that has some status that is what it is, be it Christ, Buddha, or whomever...and to think Your the only one in Existence and the rest of Us are figments of their Imagination is just Narcissistic totally! Your Experience is totally Yours, on that front Your the Center of the Universe when it comes to Experiential aspects of Life, but there are others, and they are as Real as You are!

There are limits to this Human Body and Mind, once the Intensity of Your Energies hits a certain peak, the Body cannot hold it anymore, and You Mahasamadhi for sure. If the Experience of Oneness, Completeness, God or Absolute is consistent, then the Kundalini has risen to the top chakra, if You haven't prepared the Body (think of an Electrical system designed for a certain level of voltage, then it is overloaded with too much power) the Body will break, Mind too, You will lose the body.. If You have prepared it via the Yogi practices, then You know the tricks of the Body/Mind complex then You can stay on longer...

You've done the IE program, follow the basics first, 1) Accept all that is as it Is, absolutely, You can't go half way on this...2) Live Now Totally and 3) Respond to Everything Equally, shorten big time Your List of likes/dislikes,, all of this will stop the STress Response, once that happens Your at Peace, that naturally leads You to Bliss as an Everyday things,,,All of this Clears up Your Karma, that is what is the Glue, so no more new karma being made and the old stuff no longer affects You (see #1 and #2), once that is done, Your Free and it comes naturally!!

Construct or Not, Jesus the Figure or Presence or made up thing was over 2000yrs ago, this thread is only 23 hrs old, it has over 1K views, this shows whatever it was still affects ppl greatly, something to be observed and appreciated, with the question Why attached to it? Why does this thing that is over 2K yrs old still affect ppl so much, when the person on the bench You sat beside is forgotten once You leave that bench?
