How to be wise

@Prabhaker why wouldn’t it be possible to create your own deity? Many people have done it before.

@martin_malin what is the fear about? What are you thinking when the fear arises?

@Cara those are some great questions to inquire on. Can I really know that there is a hell or heaven after I die? Go inside yourself to find those answers.

@Viking why do you need to love people? Inquire into that. Do you need to climb up the spiral dynamics ladder? If yes, then why? Meditate on those questions. Free yourself. ??

@metwinn what he said, was that you were created because of the fluids from your parents. How can you reincarnate without your parents, without those fluids. When you die, you die for good.

@Patang According to Nisargadatta, after you die you will not be reborn again. He is saying it in 1:21:00 Nisargadatta is highly enlightened. What he is saying should be taken seriously.

@okulele I’m currently working towards it. I feel far more bliss than I did just two months ago. I’m confident I’ll make it to constant bliss by a year or two. If you’re thinking about getting to constant bliss through meditation, you can forget about it. You won’t get it.

@tsuki it won’t happen. The do-nothing technique (or anything of that sort) will never lead to enlightenment, ever. That is my assertion.

@Dogsbestfriend that’s inquiry, not meditation. Meditation is quieting the mind. Inquiry is investigating the thoughts. If you’re talking about inquiry, then yes you can cure your depression. But not through trying to ‘get rid’ of your thoughts or ‘emptying’ your mind.

@lmfao It’s not possible. In your meditation session, you try to get rid of the thoughts that cause your depression. But as soon as you stop meditating, those thoughts will come right back. Even decades of meditation won’t solve the depression problem. You will need other techniques that will get rid of depression quickly.

@Leo Gura You said that it’s not possible to jump over the spiral dynamics stages. But this man seems to have jumped from ‘extreme blue’ to green, skipping over orange. What is your explanation?

@Viking The Work of Byron Katie

@phoenix666 just to give you a heads up, you won’t be seeing any of those things till many many years of sincere hard work.

@Dodo reality is unknowable. So how can it be certainty. Fancy poems won’t get you closer to the truth.

@Viking Yes, but probably not with techniques like yoga and meditation. In those paths, it will take at least a decade of hardcore work to reach Sahaja samadhi. But there are techniques that will enable you to reach there in a year or two.

@Telepresent As Ken Wilber said, enlightenment and spiral dynamics are basically two different things. You can be in the highest stages of enlightenment and in the same time be in the lowest stages of spiral dynamics. And vice versa you can be in the highest stages of spiral dynamics and know nothing about enlightenment.

@phoenix666 what is your purpose for doing Kriya yoga?

@cle103 she is clearly wrong about Kriya yoga. It has been practiced for more than a hundred years by some very hardcore people with no problems being mentioned. As for psychedelics, shamans have been taking psychedelics for millennia. Had psychedelics been dangerous, they wouldn’t have continued using it for this long. You’re teacher sounds inexperienced. As for her ‘presence’, if you believe that she is someone very special, your mind will create a feeling of her superiority. When you’re in a no-mind state, it’s not possible to feel someone’s ‘presence’ because you hold no belief that they are any different from you. My adive: become an independent thinker. Don’t trust any person too much. Investigate within yourself where her ‘presence’ is coming from. You might come to realise that you in fact were creating her ‘presence’.

I’ve done quite a lot of research on communicating with deities, but found no tangible information. Can somebody give me a link to a book or videos which talks about the method of communicating with deities.

@Prabhaker wow the prices for these books are simply unbelievable! ?

@Leo Gura do you think ‘dr Phil’ show is orange or green?

@TheSomeBody The Work of Byron Katie

@TheSomeBody no I haven’t. I’m pursuing my goal of enlightenment with another technique.

@Leo Gura You said that stage turquoise incorporates non-duality. But according to Ken Wilber, ‘growing up’ is more or less independent from ‘waking up’. In an interview he said that one can be in the highest stage of ‘growing up’ without ever having an enlightenment experience. What are your thoughts on this matter?
