What sadhguru offers is not just a practice. He's offering you an entire new life. Only you can know if it's something you want. It's not a question of whether or not it's worth it, it's whether or not it's your cup of tea. Although the first program is universally good for everyone imo.

@TheSelf :)

Agni yoga is about alining yourself with the universal principles. Developing deeper intuition. Learning to turn to the heart for every decision and allowing it to lead the way for you. It's an entire Way of living based on the heart. Agni yoga also comes with a practice of invoking and receiving Great Rays of light. The descending fire that befalls on those who make themselves available through sincere connection to the masters or a lineage and have purified their act sufficiently through the first phase of the practice. Once you're able to receive this decending heavenly light into your system, now you can work with this energy. Just bathing in that energy of glory and love alone is transformational and complete. But it also leads to many possibilities aswell. You can learn to direct that energy to others to serve in various ways. You can work on developing psychic abilities. You can use that energy to open various channels. You can become a medium, etc. The realm of possibilities is big here. This decending light is also an important ingredient, among many, in developing the light body and a sacred embryo (that's the daoist alchemy part) It grows as it feeds on the energy you absorb by bathing in the fire and rays of devine love. Conserving sexual energy is important for this part aswell. That's the gist of it I guess.

Haha, my practice is more like a combination of daoist alchemy, kabbalah and agni yoga than kriya yoga. Love the picture. Gets me hyped up every time, lol.

Well I would fit into this category probably. I've done energy work with semen retention for 5+ years. That's kinda the main reason I feel confident to speak about this subject. I don't know many people outside of me who would fit that category on a personal level. Maybe one yogi I know who practices hatha yoga and kriya for 12+ years. I never bothered asking him but I'm confident he's on semen retention aswell. Basically if you encounter anyone who follows a good system (such as Isha or Adam Mizner's HME) for 3-5 years, it's 90% chance they're on semen retention imo. It's just inevitable. The practice just takes you there.

I can understand.

I know from experience that it's true and there are many others who do aswell. But you're free to believe what you want in the end. @TheSelf I know...

In Egyptian lore, the very first god of existence is said to be Atum. (A u m) When Jesus was giving Lord's prayer, the name he used for God was Abhûn. And it's the very first thing you utter in that prayer. If you say Abhûn slowly you'll get the same A u m sound. Om could still be a valid sound tho. But as a seperate thing maybe, idk.

Naruto. Its a classic, you should definitely watch it. It's a masterpiece. But it will cost you your life. Very time consuming. May not be the best use of your time. But who knows. I'm personally wary of addictive content.

That could happen if someone was to to do it without the necessary foundation. But with sufficient awareness that energy can be integrated and transformed into spiritual growth and greater peace and presence. Like Naruto taming his 9tale beast inside him.

Nice. I like the idea an endless potential.

Beautiful. Haha, can relate. All that crazy shit is real.

Beautiful

I'm with you on that. There's actually a point where the energy becomes so intense and full that Presence becomes effortless and permenant. That's the beginning of sagehood imo. It seems like you have the potential of getting there and it's exciting to watch.

3years of semen retention + kriya yoga.

@TheSelf nice share on the results of your practice.

Ejaculation relaxes you if you're stressed up. But if you're relaxed, then it numbs you down, makes you lethargic. The fire is gone. Fire is important if you want to go forward in life and not just be a couch potato.

Prayer is a way of aligning your heart and mind to the universal heart from where all the guidence in life come. Only if you're in tune with the universal heart will you know your life purpose, only then will you know love, only then will you know true communion with others. Prayer is a devine light invocation practice. It's a way to becoming a channel for blessings. It's a way of communicating with angels and spirit guides. It's a way of being an energy healer. It's a way of transforming every egoic pattern into a pattern of love. It's a way of transmuting even the very cells of the body into light and attain ascension. It's a way of becoming a very Creator itself. Mastery of prayer is what distinguishes a Prophet/Miracle Worker (Moses, Jesus, Elijah etc.) from a yet to be one.

This is how it's done.

It was in good taste. I'm glad we had this exchange even if it made you uncomfortable. Tcare

Where can love go? There's only one direction it knows. Into the hearts of every being.

I think she's on my side here.

You don't have to. But would you rather be wise or stupid? And isn't love the wisest thing?

Everyone follows some kind of will. And love is the only true will.

You'd follow the will of love. And love's will is to serve the Whole and to have lots of fun doing it.
