Good but no emotion, no soul at least put some Metallica then

It doesn't get better then this when it comes to solo, goosebumps everywhere, pure blast of energy Happy Sunday

Nice desire Who cares how. Somehow you do it, it dosn't matter how, somehow is good enough

"Ego is a mountain, god is a valley." Echart Tolle's wisdom.

It's when you look back at your past behaviour and think "damn i was so stupid to act like that" then you know that you've grown

I'm curious, did you developed this ability yourself or you were born with it, or what? Did you get any benefits from it?

"You believe in yourself? You're crazy!" This appies to self-love, self-respect, self-confidence etc. This is good. Sadhguru tauched on this briefly in the video I linked.

Usually the process of witnessing leads to disidentification. As you look at your identity, your ego, your mind continuesly, the distance between you and your mind increases more and more. That's what is generaly refered to as disidentification.

Nice :)))))

@peanutspathtotruth it's better to do everything from gross to subtle. Exercise then kriya should be the correct way imo.

@Joseph Maynor what do you practice? self-inquiry?

@Leo Gura okey, sorry @Joseph Maynor

That's why i mention this. The most interesting statement that sadhguru is making is that universe doesn't have a logically correct system or order to it. I know it sounds crazy but listen for yourself, he really says this. "Existence: not logical, but absolutely fantastic"

@Leo Gura have you been able to glimps any insights about how the structure of life is not logical? I remember you say how you became conscious of how everything is interconnected, cause and effect kind of thing that goes way back to big bang and infinity. But this implies that life is logical and systematic, it follows certain rules. I remember sadhguru say many times that life is not logical. It dosn't fit into any system but it's fantastic. Here's a video called "existence: not logical, but absolutely fantastic" There seems to be a little bit of controdiction between your statement and this video imo

@AlphaAbundance desire for enlightenment is not your choice. It's life's natural evolution and longing. I recommend to watch this simple and perfect answer to your question

It happens by itself but you can do it consciously and systematicly also. There're techeques developed just for this. Like vippassana for example. Also volunteering and also i think there ways to do it with specifically designed kriyas and yogas.

I don't understand how exacly but sadhguru and his programs did the trick for me. And i had about 2.5years of meditation experience, vippassana, mindfulness, self-enquiry. It was helpful but not fully satisfying. Sadhguru was the guy who really gave me what i was looking for for many years. I was struggling with the same thing like you since middle-school days. i know how it feels

These types of situations don't have the right answer. One person will chose one option another second option both could be right or wrong. If you want to know what to do in these situations you just have to be totally honest with yourself in what you want. Say yes to the truth and then let the consiquences come. This comes with maturity and practice. When your heart is devoted to truth, everything will turn out good in the end.

There is a way to see things without any distortions. The way I understand right know is that the past memory and impressions are distorting your whole present experience. There's one path in spirituality where they seek to develop a perception that is not tainted by any memory. Then you see reality the way it is. Now we see reality the way we think, not the way it really is. "Reality is not the way you think it is, but it becomes exacly the way you think" #mooji This video's about seeing things exacly the way they are. Highly recommended.

E=mc^2 Everything is one energy moving from one form to another. That's pretty much the proof of nonduality. They teach this stuff in 5th grade now i think

I would categorize into 3 types of games. One is self realization. Second is liberation and being free from life and death, dissolving karma, Mukti. Self realization doesn't mean you're free from the cycles yet. Third is mysticism. Where you go into metaphysical spirituality, where you want to know every answer about life, how it works, where it comes from and whatnot. You can play one game and missout completly on the other. Like you can materialize things out of a thin air, be with psychic abilities and be complete ignorant of your true nature(I heard Papaji had students like that). Or you can be self aware but have no understanding of machanics of life. Or be self aware but still not free from karma. This is my current understanding. It's just a perspective. Edit: some additional thoughts on the matter I also think that's the reason why some Zen Bhuddhist who spent 40years working in his Zen garden dosn't have the same states of consciousness and metaphysical understanding as 5meo-dmt can give you. Because they don't play this 3rd game. They only care about 2nd game, liberation. In Bhuddhism they would dissmiss all samadhis basicly. This reminds me. Like sadhguru says. Some yogis who play with certain things are more entangled with life then someone who just eats, sleeps and reproduces. Even tho the yogi has some insane levels of consciousness that a common person has no idea of. I even think that dissolving karma has nothing to do with raising consciousness (maybe, idk.) Like those Mt. Kailash marathon runners. They don't do any meditation. They just run. Karma Yoga u know. Yoga of action. They just run and that's all. After 3 years when they sit they sit like the breeze unmoving. They dissolved their karma simply by running and no meditation at all. They also have no more suffering i think. No more cravings also. Does that mean they have 5meo dmt mystical metaphysical understanding of reality? Probably no. They're playing totally different game altogether. What do you guys think of this? @Leo Gura @Arhattobe

Spiritual science = occult

Volunteering and vippassana

Mindfulness and body awareness is the same thing. Your feelings, emotions, cravings, aversions are all reflected in your body. For example, by observing some tension in your body you can understand how you feel much easier then observing your mind. Mind can fool you very easily but body always tells you the truth. Yes. Your ego is just a mass bundle of impressions, a bundle of likes and dislikes, aversions and cravings. In vippassana they teach you to just observe the sensations on your body equanimously. This way, your likes and dislikes get dissloved, your identity is dissolving slowly untill you become nothing. Perfect equanimity. When you sit you're like a breeze, one with the universe.
