Because there are levels to forms, from Gross to Subtle, Your Basic Body is Food/Earth Body, but that comes from more Subtle things like Cells, Molecules and Atoms, which comes from more Subtle things like Energy and on and on it goes. The Gross things Come then Go, the Subtle things just transform, Energy doesn't really die it just goes on, but sooner or later everything dies in a sense, except "That Which is Not" referred to as Shi va, from what I can understand it was what was there before the supposed Big Bang, a Grand Intelligence of Sorts I describe it as, don't ask for more details, as its unknowable in the normal sense, but we can be InTouch with it since this is our essential nature, not Your Body/Mind complex, dis identify with that, and things start to open up!!

Oxymoron statements, we can't do whatever we want if there is no free will.. Isn't/Is indicates Free Will, there can't be a Isn't/Is without Free Will. Do, there is no DOING without Free Will, or if nobody is there then there is no DOING... All Statements contradict Non Dualism, the only way to prove Non Dualism is too make no Statements.. sry had to do so, nothing personal:)

Just to set things clear, Guru's are not meant to be "Followed", they are like anything the is helpful, like Fire, it can be very helpful, no Fire/Heat, no Life as we know it, but Fire can be dangerous too if abused or misunderstood (baby touching a flame..), but with Spirituality its a bit more intense, the Devotional aspect, Guru/Disciple relationship, its not about personalities, the Guru is the Fire, not the heat, we want to be the Fire as well, with a True Guru they are here too make it happen within a short period of time, without Guru it will still happen but more time.. No one would know anything, Spiritual or otherwise for the most part, without Guru's, Non Dualist have them too, the key is to use them as a tool to Enlightenment, I share Sadhguru's stuff because (since we are on a forum using language, logic, intellect) he brings forth the Reality more logically than anyone I have heard of, and what he has said the Non Dual Gurus say too, but Sadhguru has methods/sadhana for those that need it, tons of them, some don't need it, some do. One has to see the "Whole" picture, not just a slice of it! As a long time Martial Artist/Teacher too, if I had no Sifu (Father/Teacher in Chinese, a Guru in essence), I would not have develop the skills in any meaningful way, but sooner or later it is up to Me to learning, gain the skill, apply and be able to teach it too "others", so one has to go full circle, go with the Guru, abide by the Guru, dissolve into the Guru and become Your Own Guru..

Oh no we have lost it if You add the ism to it, no No NO NO NO NOOOONOOOONOOOO!

seemingly appearing via the nothingness of seem less appearances in a desire to have a "separate" forum. For reasons of nothingness sharing's thru the seemingly appearing of words that describing nothing as it goes on and on thru the vastness of seemingly endless loops of appearances disappearing as we scrolling endlessly sharing nothingness.Oh God I'm Lost!

Opps, forgot about them:)

See Bold in reply!

Yes, the problem with another sub forum is that it is Intellect further dividing things up, soon after that sub forum is created, then the Yoga ppl will ask for One, the Law of One ppl will ask for One, and on and on it goes, but Non Dual means One, Yoga means Union, Law of One is self explanatory lol.. We are losing the battle of Oneness via our identification with an Ideology of Being One, but disagreeing with others (Not One) and wanting to be separate (not One).. Its goes against everything Non Dualist, Yoga is, since we are just here sharing via this method of sharing, what happens here is not Non Duality, Yoga or Spirituality in any way shape or form, its just talking.. If something bothers You, use it as an indicator to look within this vehicle of Oneness to find out why am I feeling Bothered? Its a gift really when You are bothered because it should bring You back to Non Duality or ONE!

The Diversity and Differences we see on all levels of Life, physicality, expressions, ideologies, conclusions, and limitations, non limitations, all of this is a form of Intelligence and Potential isn't it? So that is the brilliance of Existence/Absolute IMO, its all One on the ultimate level of looking at it, Life is just Life, we are all Life, but go down a little bit and we start to see the diversity of everything, so its Brilliances being Expressed and Reflected.. As Humans we have the highest capability to be Aware of this Reality, if You not highly Aware, then we get into trouble, like Identification problems arise, what happens here on this forum, with all the little disagreements on little things about existence, it just shows it in a tiny way, but on the Global Forum which includes all of Us, its reflected in a much Larger way with dyer consequences, Life is at risk of dying is we don't change it..Humans need to focus on Awareness which leads to Consciousness and then Spiritual Enlightenment..

Thanks, it still brings me around in a loop, doesn't allow me to send a message to someone to actually get my FB account back up, maybe they are backed up and will get too it via the other methods I used, we'll see!

Hey, I need some help with this,, Came home from work yesterday, and can't log into my Facebook, it says its suspended ' Your Facebook account was suspended because your Instagram account georgelastrape7137 doesn't follow our rules. You have 180 days left to appeal. Log into your linked Instagram account to appeal our decision." When I go on my Instagram account, that was hacked too (my facebook account is attached to my main email, my instagram account is attached to a different email that I don't use often), lots of new follwings were added, no new content was added or deleted.. I find no way to contact FB about this, have researched it for hours now, and there is no link on my instagram to appeal that I can find.. Any suggestions? Just a side note, there was a virus on my computer a few days ago, microsoft defender found it and isolated it and I deleted it, have done many virus checks with different providers since then, everythings seems clear and good now.. Thanks in Advance!!

I would say on a relative level, since we are talking here and some of us have more experience in a certain field than others, that can make them a sort of expert, Deepak is a recognized Doctor, so he does have authority on some aspects of physicality and such, and since that interview he has done much more research and his own personal development.. The point is not too really see anyone as an authority or not, to believe them or not believe them, what one should do when they see or hear information is research it for themselves.. In the End, You have all that You need to find out Truth and Reality. We can use examples of ppl aged 80+ but look and feel like 40, if they can do it why can't we do somewhat the samething? It just shows a possibility that is all, we have to go out and make that possibility a Reality for ourselves!

Again GOD is the wrong word to Use, it has too many implications and associations in Ppls minds, Absolute, Brahman or Shiva is much better. Absolute is all Potential, is a Super Intelligence that beyond anything we can imagine with a tiny brains, and our brains are super sophisticated, enough so that it will develop AI that surpasses its creators abilities, Absolute is light Years ahead of this so we cannot or will not be able to explain it or understand it, but we can be intouch with it since it is Us fundamentally, we are this Potential in Embodied form, with limitations on certain fronts, these limits upon us force us to go thru things and experience things and via that Absolute experiences itself on trillions of levels, that is why we are here I think essentially!

He probably was a frog in some life span. Our lifespan here is just a speck compared to the lifespan of the Earth or the Universe, so in that perpective, he was a frog 5 min ago, we all were probably, and a plant, a insect, a piece of dirt, and so on.. Here Neil Tyson Degrasse talks about our DNA, I remember he had a show on awhile back about Science, in one of them He mentioned that we have common DNA traits with all sorts of life forms, here he talks about our common DNA sharing with Bananas and Mushrooms, too me this sort of proves reincarnation and how it manifests in physical form, it shows there is an evolution to what we are, and how we came to be what we are today.. Potential is common on all life forms, but when in our perception and relation to time, it seems slow but overall its a fast process that has taken us from simple life forms to our Human ones today, from what I understand we cannot evolve much further on the Physical and Mental aspects but we can on other aspects of what we are, I assume that means Spiritually we can evolve much further than where we are Now!!

Yes it is, is Narcissistic in nature, and not real Spirituality in any sense.. Everything You experience is only Experienced within You, in that sense alone are you the only one in the universe, experientially You have only experienced Yourself and what Your senses bring into You, but You have enough sense perception to know there are other bodies with minds in them and they are like You in many many ways, living via their experience of themselves perceiving things outside of themselves...

Remember there is no Absolute Meaning in any action or creation, everything is Relative in a sense, Your Meaning, what means something to You, means nothing to someone else and so forth, just like there is no absolute right or wrong, good or bad, it all depends on relativity and perception and such... Absolute is the way it is because it holds all Potentials and Possibilities.. The things You mention, they happen in all life forms, but only we Humans have choice, we don't have to kill unnecessarily, we have to kill to eat and survive, but we don't have to kill for the sake of killing, same with destruction and all the other dis empowering actions we take all the time, we have choice we just haven't decided yet to do more Empowering actions than Dis Empowering ones.. This is all reliant on how Conscious we are as a Species overall, its obvious we are not overall very conscious, once we raise the level of Consciousness in most ppl, then things will Transform.. To Be Conscious means Your intouch with Truth and Reality, which means Your Experience of Life is All Inclusive, You feel a great sense of Oneness, Connection and Bliss, and You see Reality for what it is, not what You want it too be or what You heard it should be like...

@Princess Arabia We Humans are given basically Free Rein here to do or be what we want to be, of course there are limits due to the Body and Mind, but if You want to be Healthy, You can be no matter what, we can control genes, dreams, experiences and know most everything we need to know about ourselves and the universe if we strive enough, that is the power of being Human.. Today we are completely brainwashed by our societies, the power players that want to keep us Down, and slaves basically, so they portray us as weak, needy, and the life is outside of Us, its not, until one realizes this as a basic thing nothing in their life will change!

@Princess Arabia I don't know if You've ever read the book "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind" by Deepak Chopra, its one of his first books, like from the 80's or 90's, its one of the first books that got me onto Spirituality, in it there is a study he references, where they took some senior citizens, all of them had some sort of medical conditions, they did a bunch of tests on them to set a baseline, then they put them in an isolated environment, where they set everything up like it was from the 1950, architecture, music, pictures, and all sorts of factors, they let them live there for a couple of weeks, then they retested them and found that they all de aged allot, I can't remember by how much but it was significant, so the Mind and Perception and how we Experience it within ourselves is super powerful, some may call this a belief of sorts, but it can make great changes in all aspects of what You call Yourself, and transform Yourself into whatever it is You want to Be!

There's the basic 4, the ones you mention above and the Turiya or high conscious state. The whole point of Spiritual Sadhana and paths is too get to this Turiya state on a consistent basis.. We are Embodied Beings, that means we have a Body/Mind complex, and high Potentials in that, more so than any other life on this planet, and we have to strive for it, like learning ABC or 123, the potential is there always for everyone, but they have to go to school and learn it, that is striving, samething here, if You don't strive for it, then it won't happen Generally, You'll stay only in the cycle of Wake, Draming and Deep Sleep, which is Survival level of Living.. We are basically here to allow Absolute/Existence to experience itself, we are the pawns!

"If You pay enough attention to Existence You become WORDLESS" - SJV

Yes, BEING is when Your Intouch with Who You Are, Intellect is when You using outside sources for information, how to believe it? You can completely know if Your BEINGNESS is established, all that there is too know You can know this way. With Intellect You will never know because whatever someone tells You something, it may be Truth for them, but its a story for You or anyone listening, until something becomes a personal experience for You, its all stories or theories, or philosophies, they may be good in the beginning but are not the complete way to really know Life totally!

You offered Money and brought this aspect Up, I'm just taking You for You Word!

Goraknath’s fierce love for his guru, Matsyendranath, drove him beyond all discipline on many occasions. Seeing that his disciple had the capability to change the world if only he could channelize his intensity, Matsyendranath constantly tempered it. Here is one such incident.

The Ego is just a survival tool, its neither good or bad, it just being unconscious too it is bad in a sense.. The Ego comes to give one a sense of Individuality, if You had no sense of Individuality you wouldn't survive very long and our species would not have lived long at all, since we are so weak in the natural world, so Ego gives a sense of Individuality and hence the feeling of insecurity and aloneness, which provides one with a great need and instinct to Survive another day, combine that with our vastly superior Intellect, and we go from Cave Man to dominating the Planet and maybe outside this planet. Today with all our tech and survival knowing, we can subdue the ego big time, but we don't it just switched its attention to other pursuits that involve gathering as well, fame, success, power, control, etc,.. its a false sense of individual self, which can be transcended to a higher sense of Self which is All Inclusive..
