You need to adjust your Spi-radar. This guy has always rubbed me the wrong way.

@Davino Have you read Peter Ralston? I think you might like Peter Ralston. Books like "Zen-Body Being" or "The Art of Mastery."

He literally is. He did a crypto scam and kept the money. You know, performers give you money back if they use it as a prop in a performance. Scammers and thieves keep it in their pockets.

One can call it a Zeitgeist.

@Spiritual Warfare has no idea that women get horny.

Expect a 'once in 1000 years' flood every 10 years. That's climate change.

@Butters that's more of a retro category. I am doubtful the new Leo would put the law of attraction category on the list if he was planning it from the ground up. Too much human bullshit in that category in my opinion. Yet, the Esther Hicks' book is some of the finest bullshit I have ever seen, I've enjoyed reading this book from this category and even found it to be practical.

Discussion of torrenting, profanity directed at a covid denier amidst the peak of covid, calling Joseph Maynor stupid. The last one, I have no regrets about, the guy was total pain in the ass most of the time. The only one worse than him that I can remeber right now was the "stage coral" bodybuilder guy who boasted "I have more upvotes per post than Leo, listen to me."

You are absolutely correct. The tendency is real, but racism is a construct. It needed to be invented and is reproduced through social mechanisms. Yet, to get rid of racism is not to get rid of underlying condition that led to creation of racism in the first place.

You = God Are = God "What is" is God. When you say "I am God" you don't add any new meaning to the "I am, you just underline that God is the isness of anything. You could have said as well "God God God", because everything is God, but that doesn't make for a coherent sentence, "I am God" sounds better.

That's not direct access and neither consciousness work. I doubt Sadhguru would be talking about some new age ideas when talking about multiple lifetimes. You don't even know in what sense he has used that phrase. He could have as well mean the whole evolution of humankind up to this point in a poetic manner. Anything really. And if multiplicity of lifetimes is somehow a thing one can get really conscious of, I doubt that reality matches the map new agers like Newton sell.

yes, and I just wanted to add my point in case someone else reads it and goes, "oh, a shiny concept, must be closer to truth," as it's quite a common trap.

@jakee This is not an explanation, just repeating the same statement in different words. So yeah, if you just want to talk about it and like the terminology of Kastrup, then why not. But to understand such things you need a direct insight. Just don't confuse more sophisticated thoughts for understanding or consciousness and you are good.

You don't really know what Sadhguru is saying when he talks about multiple lifetimes. I for sure don't. He could have meant anything. Who here has a direct insight into such matters?

@Buck Edwards Sadhguru picked up yoga and practiced obssisively with a master since 14, right after finishing education he bootstrapped a construction business and an egg farm business with a friend, then he achieved Enlightenment and went on to become one of the top rockstar spiritual gurus in the world. He doesn't sound like an particularly average person.
