How to be wise

@Shin this is serious shit man. Leo is convincing people to live more passionate lives. But by doing that, they will lose a lot of their life energies and eventually die young. If you want to live a long life, start yoga now. People ask whether they should start with life purpose or spirituality. The answer is spirituality. Your life depends on it.

@Ocean read the article if you want to know about passion and dying young. Read my posts if you want to know what to do about it. I can’t repeat everything just for you.

Listen. I’m not saying that it’s absolutely true. Stop bringing enlightenment and consciousness to a discussion about health. We are talking in terms of relative truth. If you are very passionate you will die young because you lose too much energy. Or in other words you release more energy than you receive. You need to learn to control those energies to live longer.

You’ll die young when your passion is consistently sustained. If you want to live a passionate life without dying young you better learn to control your life energies.

Sadhguru said that he supports trump. If you don’t believe me watch this video:

Well, I want to see how newspaper editors feel.

@AleksM is it possible to channel human beings from the past?

@snowleopard this shit is scary. Hope it’s not true

Believe it or not, that’s exactly what Paramahansa Yogananda said. I was listening to one of his tapes. Now what the hell does that mean? How could he ever know that?

“He has not done right by us. He is very sorry for creating us. He suffers with us.” No more needs to be said about that. By the way, did you just make that argument up. What evidence do you have for your point. Did you have a direct experience of it.

@Shin he's not just enlightened. He followed it up with decades of hard core kriya yoga to the point of mastery. Other enlightened people speak very highly of him.

@Leo Gura Do you think you can overtake Peter Ralston if you carry on your 5 meo trips?

He’s not like you. He was an enlightened yogi and sage. He ridded himself of all beliefs.

100-200 years is far too soon. I think you mean 1000-2000 years.

What do you mean by that?

Any type of yoga will give you extraordinary body benefits. Except Hatha Yoga. For some inspiration:

@Shanmugam No. The poetry was similar, but he literally said "He [God] is sorry for ever creating us." @Faceless @Dodo Yogananda is an enlightened yogi, so his notion of God is probably Absolute Infinity. I just don't get how you could ever have a direct experience that God regrets ever creating us. Unless you could...

This is exactly what sadhguru said about doing Kriya yoga: ”If you follow the path of kriya very intensely, without guidance it may take a few lifetimes to mature. If there is someone alive who can do things with you, then it can happen in this life.” Is this actually true? Can I not practice Kriya yoga by myself at home?

@AleksM How long does it take to awaken all seven chakra centres? Are we talking years or decades?

Klein bottles. I’ve read about them before.

How long does it take to become enlightened through kundalini yoga for a beginne? Is it simialiar to self-inquiry time, or does it take much longer?

I recently discovered that in order to become a real master of consciousness, you need to put in around 10,000 hours of work. If I carry on my two hours of contemplation every day I will become a master in.... 14 years. What! I can't wait for 14 years. It looks like the only way to achieve mastery soon is to become an ascetic and to contemplate for 10 hours a day. What's your plan? How will you complete your 10,000 hours whilst living in a city? And pursuing your life purpose. Impossible.

I think asceticism is the solution. It's practically impossible to meditate for 10 hours a day if you live in a city in a family. You need to go off into the wild, abondan all material goods, and spend your whole day meditating. At least for a few years. Quite dangerous, but very worthwhile.

In theory, yes. But it's impractical. We don't have the mental capacity to be mindful all the time.
