Oh no, how sad

U don't need to overcome it. Just be 100% honest about. Face the feelings of fear and insecurity head on. Embrace them. That's what u feel. Accept it. Accept it totally. If u do it right, it will lead to revolution and a new sense of freedom. Best done in a quiet setting, with no distractions and eyes closed for a minute or two. There's nothing in existence that can't be accepted.

False teachers? With false teachings like neo advaita for example.

U can trust me, buddy as your most trustworthy friend i'll tell u haven't articulated the problem properly or im just too dumb to get it, idk.

True this. Learning to be happy doing nothing is a great freedom. Otherwise people chase for stimuli like headless chicken all their lives.

@Michael Jackson wow. No problem. Regards to you, brother ?

Here's another one titled: "Everyone should taste this love"

I liked it U can visit him in portugal some day since you're looking for a meditation retreat. But there're no events scheduled right now.

It's a well known thing. Osho talked about a little bit. Sadhguru comments on it more on Sadhguru exclusive app. Hmmm... i don't know We all have avoidence and resistence to different degrees honestly. So that quote i made is not 100% accurate. But it points to smth significant. Im not sure what are the ways to deal with it. Perhaps there are more then one way. The way sadhguru goes about it is he fuels a seeker with intense longing for spirituality. He's really good at that. Idk how he does it. Somehow through grace. For no reason u can become fanatically obsessed with spirituality if u attend his programs and do his practices. I experienced that myself so i speak from experience. There are probably many other ways to go about it also.

Some beings don't even have a body and they are enlightened in a the subtle body. Like Jesus for example. If that doesn't debunk genetic theory, I don't know what will ? tho im not against the genetic theory. It makes some sense. But it doesn't answer the problem fully for my taste. Ramana Maharsi was able to enlightened a cow also. That's a nice debunk right there also.

There are many enlightened beings who have children and brothers and sisters and those relatives are not enlightened. Wouldn't that debunk the genetic theory? Plus all the ancient scriptures say it's about one's energetic evolution or smth. Some kind of esoteric explanations are there that determine one's spiritual evolution and potential. I like this explaination more personally. People who effortlessly pop into enlightenment are usually not because of genetics but because the soul has been refined through a lot of practice in previous lifetimes. That's is a common explaination found spiritual texts.

Basicly the question can be altered into: how to grow faster? 1) follow high quality instructions. Like that of Jesus or Buddha or Sadhguru 2) dedicate yourself to the process. It works but only if u do it. Your own resistence is your biggest enemy. From my personal observation u have tendency to run away or resist something the moment something starts to really threathen your ego. "A person can be a seeker of truth for lifetimes, but if avoidence is at the root of it, he's not going to get it"

And anyways, suffering is caused by ignorance. So if u suffer, how can u call yourself enlightened(free from ingnorance)? Radiculitis levels of logic.

Suffering is self made. Only a moron would cause suffering to himself for no reason by resisting life. So if you're suffering, you're a moron. Maybe a god realized moron, but still a moron

Lol, don't ruin my genuine apology ? i meant what i've sayed:)

Yeah, trying not to get triggered while reading leo's comments is a huge challenge for me ? i think im getting better at it slowly. Lost it a little bit towards my last post... sorry Leo, you're a great guy

Leo's debate arguments these days: 1) you're wrong 2) you're not as concious as I am 3) you don't even exist, bruh.

You are absolutely certain that u exist, right? Nobody ever doubts his existence, it's impossible. Even to say i don't exist u need to exist first to say that. So u exist. Absolutely so. Now the question becomes 'i exists but as what?' Then neti neti starts. Everything is impermenant, but i remain and observe existence coming and going. Then by observing all phenomena to its subtlest realms u realize what u are can't be found or grasped. It is nothing or not-anything-tangiable. No-self in buddhist's terms. That's the realization of the absolute. Realization of nothingness. And it has no levels or it wouldn't be absolute. There are degrees of insight into the absolute tho.

@softlyblossoming Here's a good explanation of 'im nothing vs im everything' imo.

@softlyblossoming ?

If u create a distance between what is you and what is your mind, that's called trancending the mind or maybe distancing yourself from the influence of the mind. This gives a clean perception even tho the mind is still full of defilements. Dissolving the ego is pretty much self explanatory. Means purification of the mind, eradication of the defilements, cravings, attachments, unresolved emotional traumas, things like that. As far as i know, this creates a clean mirror where reality can be reflected as it is without any ego distortions on top of it. No ego = no distortions = the truth. A path of distancing your awareness from the mind and the path of purification a somewhat similar. If one rises his awareness, naturally some purification will happen of the ego. And if one purifies the mind, the awareness will rise also. They're kinda the same but also different. I don't know much about buddhism but i think this is what is being called as samatha vs vipassana meditation among buddhists. Idk, could be wrong.

I can relate to this. My logic would be to rely on some higher power like grace or god or smth. I wouldn't be able to see an altervative solution even. "Mind is eternally confused" i think sadhguru made this quote some day. It's like a hopeless instrument for navigating and making descisions in life. Because it has no clue about anything whatsoever... and it never will...

Only if one achieves a state of zero bias can he observe reality as it is and not as he would like it to be. All bias is essentially a distortion of reality to suit your personal agenda and therefore a fake version of reality, aka delusion. To reach zero bias state either ego has to be trancendended or dissolved. Maybe there are some other ways also idk.

I think delusion has to do with the ego. Ego interprets reality for it's own survival all the time. All interpretations of reality are distortions of reality. Only a place where there is no judgement, no interpretation, just pure seeing without any interpretation is the true clean perception of reality. It's called samadhi. So unless you're in samadhi, your perception is in some way distorted by the ego. If u experience suffering, you are deluded also because only delusions can cause suffering. So the simplest way to tell if you're deluded is. Are u beyond suffering? If no, then you're still in delusion.

Hmm, good point. I wouldn't know how to explain that. Maybe the body makes full priority of the production of sperm cells right after the ejaculation so all the energy goes there and causes the low energy for a day and then goes back to normal functioning the next day. And then when the spem cells reach its full count, the testies still continue to produce sperm but because the bank is full, now they get reabsorbed back into the body, storing and cultivating more and more energy at this point. Idk. Im just speculating.
