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?

Just Learned something new! More teachings of the Mechanics of Life... Devi means Space, that holds things in place, like particles, atoms and everything in existence. Its describe as Feminine, Feminine is not Female, its not of the Body, its the Nature of Things, as compared to Masculine.. Once Survival/Masculine is taken care of, then Feminine aspects will arise more in a Society and On the Planet!

If Your Interested in Sadhguru's Inner Engineering course, this is a mini talk about it, even though the video is titled Karma, as it relates to his book on Karma, as he talks it reminded me of what he talked about during the 7 online or in person sessions he talks about basic Life Outlooks, and little things we can do everyday to help us become More Aware and in Touch with Life process and Enhancing our own Experience with Life, which is allows us to explore More Possibility and Potential, which is the whole purpose of Human Life compared to other Life forms..

This language of Social or Mental Constructs, ppl that use it are basically too lazy to do the work to find out the Reality of it, so they use these sorts of words to delegate anything anyone says to a low level, makes them feel good and superior... Someone living the Life of their Dreams, or someone Suffering in a hell on Earth, its a mental construct, lol, this is narcissism at its highest level!

Just because the teachings You've been exposed to, or You own inquiry hasn't given You the answers or knowing, doesn't mean the answers don't exist. People have for thousands of Years been explore the nature of Reality, on all levels that it can be explored, this new age non dualism is exactly that NEW, its too simple, too low level, it has it use for sure, it may be a beginning way to start the process, realizing that all is One, that I am One with Everything, but it has to go beyond just an idea or intellectual knowing, it has to be Experiential, and that gets down to the question What is Experiencing! The answers come from Within, the methods just allow us to find those Answers within, ppl get too fixated on the Method and forget what it is all about. This is not about having an Ideology, following anyone in particular or anything of that sort. Existence is about Potential, one potential is non duality, its a start, but its not the complete Potential if there is one, but we as Humans are the only Life "Form" that can explore it since we have the greatest capacity to Experience.. The Story or Appearance or Mental Construct has to be Experienced otherwise it does not exist nor does the Potential of it..

@Princess Arabia This is the problem with the Teaching and what I have been telling You for a long time. The teaching, You, say everything is Appearance or its a mental construction of somesort, this is a lazy way excuse of sorts, it basically means nothing means anything, all there is is absolute and such things.. The teaching is half right, its not a complete teaching, its a certain Potential (Yes I know that is a concept, but so is all of what You said!!!, and yes I know you will agree with that, but there is still this teaching to deal with), but its not the Complete Potential ( I know another concept or mental construction). Once again we are here on this forum communicating, everything is a concept here, but if we are going to play this game of understanding one another, then we have to be precise and say what we mean to say and if we disagree then so be it, but that sort of teaching is incomplete, its completely Absolute level based, but without the realization that You still have a Body and Mind to deal with.. Why does Sunny have a Youtube page, if nothing exists, then whom is he making video's for? Plus what he says has been said thousands of times before by others that have videos online, so why share it again and again, this is another problem but we can deal with that later... If Appearance exists as You say it does, as well as the ability to make "Mental Constructs", then how is that possible, why is it possible, and whom/what is doing this. Please answer in a precise way, don't delegate it away by saying "Nothing is happening, Your creating it in Your mind, all you have to do is realize everything is Absolute", what is this You, how is that too happen if You've tried and failed, then what?

Yes totally! For Absolute/Life to know itself!

@Princess Arabia We're going around in circles okay... We are communicating, so that means its on a level of understanding, if we were telepathically communicating then there are no words, I just know what You are and You know what I am, so that is "Another Level" Okay.. Absolute realization, as You say above is the Ultimate, its the same as Moksha, Liberation, Enlightenment, its what the whole Point of Spirituality, Non dualism, God Realization, whatever label.. We can live in that place, but not within a society, Your Not Going to be in God Realization Experience while driving a car, it won't work, do You drive a car, does Sunny drive a Car? One can be Blissful and/or Peaceful while driving the car, but not in God Realization, its like a hit of 5 MeoDmt, it doesn't work together.. So when home alone or you escape society, then God Realization is it, that is what we are here to experience, but what I am saying is the denying the Car Driving is also Illusionary/Maya, why is God Realization/Absolute the only thing? Why does Sunny post videos and reply to emails? It doesn't exist, its not real, then why? Because it is real on a level, that is the constant discussion, one be in God Realization/Absolute all they want, but they cannot exist in a society, work, sleep, pay bills, and so on which on a level is just as Real! Your posts are all about the Absolute Realization, but there is here the forum, ppl have situations, others console them and this is happening on this non Absolute level Experientially...

@Princess Arabia As he said, the more we "talk" about this stuff, the more intellectual it gets, the more analysis happens then it leads us to endless debates and such, it takes us away from what he is saying and teaching/sharing.. Just notice the cyclical nature of the posts here, solipsism comes up every couple of weeks, I'm God same thing too, so it doesn't helps us really, its entertainment, which is ok in moderation and with Awareness, when those two are absent, then trouble!

Yes, this is the Absolute perspective, nothing is happening, no doer and such things... As I shared that poster, there is Shiva, which means "That which is Not" this is the Absolute, so that which is not is the same as Nothing is happening, no Doer and so forth, but as You go down the list there is Form, on Form level there is a doer, that is that which exists and so forth, so what is all of this? Its all a matter of Potential, within Shiva/Absolute is all the Possibility/Potential that can ever exist, from a piece of shit, to Leo's Alien Consciousness, to whatever comes after that, all Potential, non doing, too doing, non Being to Being, and so forth... If no Experience exists, then its just Absolute.. If Experiences exists, then its Absolute on the Level of Form.. We Humans are here on the Form Level, but we are Absolute fundamentally, as Everything is Potential being put into Form, which comes from Absolute.. You said "from this POV" often in Your post, I have no problem with No Doer, Nothing is Happening, and such, but its Relative to how Conscious one is of the Absolute and the Potentials that exist, we as Humans explore this, that is why we are here, so in relative terms there is something on the level of Form, there is doing on the level of Form, it exists on this level, when You deny it, then Your not Aware of it ALL, Absolute/Non doing/Non Being and Form/Being/Doing... One becomes One Sided, then that leads to all kinds of Situations...

Ok, I would put that in the class of Maya/Illusion, the TV is giving us the effect of Movement, of a Reality taking place, when it is not really taking place, because it is actors playing a role, they are real but the situation is not real, but ppl will get so involved with it that it affects their Experience to a point that it is real for them on the Experience level, so in that sense it is Real.. So reality is only happening on the level of Experience, if no one is there to watch the TV or the program, then in a sense it does not exist, like the analogy of the Tree Falling and making a Sound or doesn't if no one is there to hear it.. This is Subjectivity vs Objectivity, the dilemma or paradox is that all Your Experience is only happening within YOU, You have never experienced anything outside of You, the Experience itself is happening within You, all Your 5 senses bring in data into Your Brain that is within You, Your thoughts happen within You, your Dreams happen within You, Your Ideologies are created and happen within YOU, so in a sense You are the Center of the Universe Experientially, but there are others like You having the same paradox happening, so on the level of Form, there is a You and Me and Reality happening that is Real, on the level of Absolute this is not happening, so its Relativity at Play if Your rooted in Your own Individuality then You will experience Separateness from all Life around You, If Your Inclusive In Your Experience, all Life is within You Experientially and the same.. One is Form level of Consciousness/Awareness, the other is Absolute Level of Consciousness/Awareness, this is the whole point of Yoga and Spiritual Path, to get from one to the other Experientially!
