@kag101 what medication is it that is helping you to sleep?

Started kriya yoga 2 weeks ago, it is giving me insomnia, anybody have similar problems?

@John Iverson what is the serious yoga?

@Salvijus this person gave me the instructions of surya kriya, but i had to look up the poses myself. which of sadhguru practices do you think is best for spiritual progress?

@Salvijus well i started doing surya kriya a few days ago and do feel better more mental balance. someone taught it to me through text, so im probably doing a half assed job. i have been doing 3 cycles each morning

@Salvijus have you done any other of sadhguru practices? if so how are they

@zunnyman i think you should just go for the most effective techniques asap and not worry about breaking, there is nothing to worry about. @Salvijus can you talk more about the benefits of surya kriya?

@winterknight do you suffer at all? How many of the fetters in buddhism have you dropped?

Are you in non duality? @Leo Gura my point is peak phycadelic or sober awakening experiences cant be maintained, you will always come back to normality. And if the ego has been penetrated deeply, it will fade away over a long period of time in a non flashy way. I dont think enlightenment is about understanding anything it's about the understander falling away. What is there to this apart from ego dissolution?

Crazy experiences had on phycadelics cant be maintained, they will leave. Crazy sober spiritual experiences cant be maintained they will leave. But you can have a genuine awakening were the ego becomes mortally wounded and it fades away over the course of several years.

@Nahm but you dont know of anybody else who got these results from eating blueberries? What effects did the blue berries have, how do u know it opened troat chakra

@Nahm Is this just your experience or have others got these effects too

@Nahm is that legit?

@Leo Gura which yoga techniques do you think are best?

In my experience sorted or plugged 5meo, slow come up takes about 10mins to hit peak. Smoked hits peak within a few seconds. Smoked is alot more intense peak for me anyway, I prefer smoked alot more, because I don't get nearly the same intensity when snorted or plugged

I have been doing self inquiry for a year and already have a fairly quiet mind, but when I'm stressed thoughts start racing and I can't control them

@AleksM the shit you are saying about stopping thoughts is resonating with me, so you think focusing on the breath to stop thoughts is a better method than asking self inquiry questions like who am I? And should you minipulate the breath in any way, or just let it do what it does ?

@Leo Gura how often do you do psychedelics?

@Leo Gura what do you mean objects dont exist? it doesnt exist as in its a hallucination? but even if its a hallucination it still exists as an experience

It comes down to suffering, if you are suffering it is impossible not to seek happiness, if you are not suffering there is nothing to seek.

even on the deep web 5meo is becoming increasingly hard to come by, few scammers even on deep web selling it

i havent reached enlightenment but have had experiences of it by taking 5 meo dmt. you have no free will ZERO, your body is like a puppet and infinite eternal awareness is the hand up your butt making you move. infinite eternal awareness controls every move the body makes and every thought the mind has. you have as much free will, as a character in a dream has free will. if you experience this state permanently, you wont care about life circumstances or what is happening, because you will experience having no control, and will see you are not the mind and body anyway. but the thing is even if you reach this state, life still goes on, you still do the same shit you have always done, there has never been anybody doing anything from the very beginning only now you will know it

I have taken dmt and 5meo dmt lots. dmt was a cool experience but didnt give me any long term benifits. 5meo dmt has helped alot in dissipating the me feeling from the body and quieting the mind. i dont think your flower analogy works for this situation, because 5meo dmt will speed up the very very very slow process of disidentifying with the body and mind. the reality is we need ALL the help we can get, you could meditate every day from now until the day you die and still not be enlightened. Desire for enlightenment is the most important factor, if you are not willing to try drugs to help you get it, you just dont want it bad enough. you need to be pursuing enlightenment like your life depends on it

the most enlightened person doesn't necessarily make the best teacher, sadhguru for example isnt a good teacher
