@Javfly33 Yes, Bliss is not an Emotion, its a permanent State that is only available to those that Realize, it doesn't mean that one does not feel negative emotions like pain, frustration and such, but the underline of their current state is Bliss, which basically means I completely know that everything is alright! With that comes as Sadhguru says, a place where "What about Me" is not longer there, when that happens Fear is not possible and Your full stride ahead in Life, so Bliss is the basis of ones Potential and Possibility which each of Us has to explore and examine in depth, it may be realized as differences in one another but whatever You find out as Your Highest Potential is okay for You, it may change over time but its better than staying stuck in the doldrums of up and down emotions and survival accumulating and gathering ppl, places, things and experiences...

People are confusing terms AGAIN! They are talking about Consciousness as the basis of Existence and Consciousness as to how Aware You are, or how intense Your Perception of Reality is and mixing up the conversation using both definitions as they communicate with one another.. By the way since this is happening, solipsism cannot be true since I do not agree with all Your Perceptions or Understandings and visa versa with most everyone here, if we all agreed then maybe solipsism would be true but we don't obviously!!:)

Ease is a consequence of One's Inner State of Being, this is what it means to Establish Your BEINGNESS, which is the first act we should do before we do anything else.. What You mentioned above are all good starting points, it will lead to Ease in Life Experience, as well a good Yoga practice, asanas, pranayama, and kriya practices too!

Sadhguru's Surprising Take on Time Travel Will Blow Your Mind

Yes it sort of defeats the belief that ppl have, when they come on forums to spread the "Solipsism" credo, but who are they talking to, imaginary ppl that have imaginary lives and your preaching to imaginary audience lol. Its narcissistic really! This argument has come up many many times before on this forum, Davino shared a good definition of Solipsism that I can buy into, where they recognize individual forms, such as we are with individual body/mind/experience complexes but fundamentally we are One in essence.. That is the whole point of Spirituality, to get intouch with this non physical aspect of what we are, which is what everyone/everything is, its just some focus on one aspect and do not see the entire picture, at least intellectually..same with the non dualists here...

No its not true. What is true is that Your Experience only happens within YOU, on a Experiential Level there is only YOU, Subjectivity is really all there is Experientially, but my senses and logic tell me there are others in this situation, that they are as real as I am, and their Experience is only within them, but there are other bodies and minds and differences in Experience, we are different from one another on the Surface level, deeper levels we are basically the same, come from the same source...

Better or Worse is on the Relative Level, there are levels to existence, Absolute is not here, its another sort of Realm, we can be intouch with it, experience it within ourselves, that is all, but what is going on here on this Earth/Planet there are definitely Better and Worse conditions, deny that and You deny reality which encompasses all realms and potentials..!

This is so far from truth. How on earth did you validate or prove this theory for yourself? This is totally against the concept of "Inclusiveness and Oneness" which is 100% true! LoL Please explain, why should I put any credibility to what You say, when others which much more credibility than most anyone here says otherwise? I don't believe or disbelieve what these Credible ppl say, but it sure sounds more reasonable and logical than thinking/believing I am the only one in existence and everything else is a figment of my imagination!!

dido!!

dharana (concentration or one pointed focus) is the 6th limb on the 8 limb yogic path, after this comes Dhyana which is Meditativeness/Ease as an Experience then lastly comes 8th Samadhi which is perfect equanimity (there are 7 different types or qualities of Samadhi) from that comes Enlightenment..so its a process for the most part, obviously some have some of these steps naturally, most do not, so one needs to start from limb #1!!!

Your making a claim that life is pure, beautiful, perfect harmony and Love... on a certain level it is, but its not complete, as there is suffering right! Denying that there is suffering is not seeing the whole complete picture, we have to do that first, and accept it absolutely, then Life opens up and Love, Beauty, Harmony are within my Experience, this is what Bliss is.. From that then we go out and do action and try to fix all the suffering going on, so that yes existence is more perfect, loving and beautiful on all levels... Before Birth there is an identity, its karmic based, karma is there in the being that is there before it finds a womb to be born into, so yes there is a sense of ego there before birth!

This is just an opinion brought about an Identified Ego defending a position...

Is Enlightenment A SCAM! | Death | Mukthi | Pseudoscience | Sadhguru |

What is Truth anyways, from what I understand the more Your Intouch with Truth/Reality the more Blissful You are Naturally!

Umm lol that is what they are saying as well, verify for Your self, but use a proven path to get there and have the ability. No True Guru is saying "Follow Me, Look Up to Me, Be my Slave', yes there are devotees, but devotion is no good for westerners who are too intellectually identified and too independent in thinking and identification, to be a Devotee one has to be Inclusive in Nature, Westerners are not this...so it scares them... I would consider myself a Disciple of Sadhguru, not the personality, but the presence of the Man and the methods he shares..

I don't understand ppl that buy into this sort of dogma, do it on Your own, like Your an Independent Island.. No one that has been successful at anything has done it on their own, they always had help. Its no different in Spirituality.. When I was training in Martial Arts (30+yrs ago) I couldn't have developed the skills I did without a Sifu or Coach, and this lesson was repeated over and over again, when I went to a new Instructor, it was very apparent that I could not have learned the skill set properly without their help, no possible way!! Its possible to go all the way in Spirituality without a Guru or Teacher, but its highly unlikely to happen for the General Public, they need direction and instruction and guidance for sure, so telling ppl to go at it on their own, like there is an unique sort of Truth that is just for them is Bad Advice imo!!

I do think because being intouch with Truth is associated with Bliss or "Heaven" that ppl do search for it and go on the Spiritual Path, there's no denying that, but I think that its true, if Your intouch with Truth You will be Blissful..

Also, Bliss is not the Goal, but with Bliss You smooth out the path to Enlightenment and Truth, so if Your naturally Blissful Your path to Enlightenment is most guaranteed and easier, and Sadhguru says this as well, he also said even Bliss can get boring and used to, so don't get caught up in things like that, if Your intensity to know and be intouch with Truth is there, You'll not be denied it...

he's a complete hippy eh:) lol

Well I think in a basic way, establishing a baseline of Joy as Your natural Experience will enhance everything else about You, Your Creativity, Intellect/Intelligence, Health, Well Being will rise because Your stress free, resistance free, able to go full stride ahead without Fear... Goals and Ambition is just an expression of Desire, Desire is the same as Life, it always wants more, so for Us Desire is there to propel us forward, ultimately we want complete Boundlessness, Freedom, but we get there in small steps, first we survive, then we want more of this or that, then we establish more control, then we forget about control and go for Power, then we forget about Power and go for all Knowing, then we forget that and go all the way, forget this life of wanting and needing and just BE in the Moment Fully Alive and Present!

Yes, its inline with the 8 limb Yoga method, he has just modernized it and made it more available to today's ppl, he also made the Shambhavi siddhi free, so I guess it was there before but energetically he did something to it, so he works on that Level allot, he's a chakrawara or something like that they say, Master of the Energy/Chakras, he must be if he can consecrate temples and create the Dylanalinga...

So right now Your not intouch with Your BEING, your into Doing and Having (pick up is Doing, the Girl is Having) your only doing this to have a certain Experience right? If not then why do Pick Up, why have a Girl?? Apply this to anything, why have a career, or life purpose? Why have Money, or Success, or a Nice Car, or Travel to a Nice place You want to see? Whatever it is, it is to have a Grander Experience than You are right now.. What if You had an Experience of Completeness, Bliss, Clarity of Reality, would You still do Pick Up? BEINGNESS is just this, Experiencing Completeness, Bliss, Clarity, at least on a small level.. I started a Yoga practice, 12 min a day, look up Isha Kriya, try it for a month, see what happens...!
