@Kksd74628 that's not what vegan is saying. You say sense of self needs to be destroyed. I say say sense of self needs to be seen as not my real self(pure awareness) and trancended. And veganawake is saying it doesn't even exist haha.

Yea. And sorry for my previous tone. Sometimes i get a "forum syndrome" ?

I would recommend to stop all practice you were doing, espesially kriyas and breathing practices if u did for a period of time and simply sit in silence. Kind of do nothing technique. That would calm some of the distorted energy manifestaions imo.

"I" and "you" are bad words do describe the self ime. The self which is pure beingness is devoid of any sense of I. It's devoid of any sense altogether. No self is good definition of it imo. My favorite definition of self is just nothingness. And nothingness is not an I. And nothingness is not a you. It's just beyond everything. Like isness. Isness can't be called an I. It just is. Not word can define isness. Not even "I" or "you".

@Judy2 yea ego exists in its own way. Neo advaitists are a bullshit spreaders. U can literally become aware of your ego as a solid stuff in your psyche. It's almost physical. Buddhists spend decades trying to dissolve the damn thing. They are not trying to dissolve a unicon-like concept that doesn't exist.

This was helpful. This is the fist time im interested in the politics lol.

Good video. Just watched it. I heard the same arguments from other teachers aswell. Escpesially the draining of energy/Ojas that happens and not being useful when it comes to karmic realms. No real progress can be made without adressing it. It looks like it's a sensitive topic for him also, haha.

Yes his username was literally sadhguru ? he was diamond 2 then, but i think he's like a master tier player now.

That's true. Maybe someone else will do it, haha. I saw once a guy named sadhguru when playing league of legends. He crushed me like an ant on bottom lane. He must have been on shambhavi effect to do that i think

U mean shambhavi mahamudra? I used to practice it but only for six months or so. Honestly If i had to recommend people the simplest, fastest way out of depression into a happy exhuberent life, I'd say to do shambhavi but nobody ever believes it's true lol.

Lol

Ayayai.. I don't know what to say. I'm really moved by your determination and passion for self-improvement tho. Some of those questions are beyond my capacity to answer i believe. I could try to give u an amateur opinion of mine if it helps. I also maintain constant awareness whereever i go during the day and night. Staying as the watcher is my number 1 practice lol. I've been doing that for a few years now. It's my favorite practice really. Ironicly im not able to think of something to say that would be of significant help to you. The only things that come into my mind are very cliche, like, "keep putting your awareness back when u notice it's gone" and a.... yea, that's it ? see not much advice. You probably knew that already anyways. I do resonate and know how it feels to get lost in mind during meditation and then getting upset about it, haha. Somehow it is possible to go beyond that into a space of natural effortless state of pure witness with practice. Perhaps "keep putting the attention back when you notice it drift" is the only advice lol. Or maybe im just a bad advice giver, idk. ?

I guess there are many ways of doing it. Each system of spirituality has its own way. Not all spiritual systems aim at purifying the mind tho. Some paths adress it more and some less. The buddhism is probably the most fixated system on purification of the mind. A classic vippasana retreat is a good example of that. Vippasana itself is a practice to become 100% free from cravings at the root level of the mind. Few traditions ever focus that much on purification of the mind as vippasana does imo.

Buddha gave the answer already i think. ? Purify your mind ? It's funny how such a simple answer and solution never sinks in for many people.

What was your previous username?

Consider a possibility that leo might be wrong about meditation and many things about spirituality in general.

There is an answer but i don't think u gonna like it. ? Spirituality ? But not drugs. Drugs will make your addiction even worse.

U just acknowledged levels of consciouness here i think ?

@Someone here im just saying be careful with suppressing your sexual desires too much. Supressed desires may find expression in very unusual ways.

Maybe u just need to ejaculate a bit. I belive forcefully suppressing sexual energy may cause perversions in the mind. That's what happens to priests i think. If u want to come out of aping and porn etc. The only way is by purification of the mind, aka, spiritual sadhana. Suppressing buisness may lead to many problems.

Hopefully not. That would be a real pain in the arse if they did.

I think we gonna find out soon in a few days.

It hurts that you say that. I was telling the truth.

I used to do 12min kriya once a day and not even every day. And benefits were amazing. Today i meditate only 1min per day. And benefits are even more amazing.

Ayayai... I felt that... "the pain and sorrow" kind of thing. Masterpeace...
