@ElenaO you don’t have to moderate our food as well...

@Azrael why would I want to stop my thoughts? I know how to question them now. Suffering comes from believing your thoughts not having them.

@okulele thanks. which Tibetan Buddhism schools involve creating deities?

@Leo Gura but according to his disciples, yogananda used to also talk with a divine mother in various samadhi experiences. Yogananda was a kriya practitioner if I’m not mistaken.

@Leo Gura how about kriya yoga? Will the intense practice of kriya yoga lead to creating deities?

@Leo Gura are there any specific techniques or yoga methods for creating deities, or is it just intense meditation of any kind?

@herghly it was probably deleted by one of the moderators. They like deleting esoteric threads.

@YaNanNallari you are one of the 99%. If you read Leo’s post he said that you won’t become like Sri Sri Ravi Shankar whilst hanging out on this forum.

@Joseph Maynor @Leo Gura 99% of people in this forum will not reach the actualized.org bar. We should announce that don’t you think?

I would not trust everything you read if I were you. Especially from some yogis. The star of kutasha clearly doesn’t exist. I’ve never heard of a blue star being seen by just concentrating on the forehead. Plus, how could you concentrate on the forehead? You’ll have to touch it and focus on the sensation. Because the forehead produces very little sensation by itself.

@How to be wise I want to start doing yoga to control and harness my energy, but there’s no information on the techniques. Everywhere I go it says that yoga techniques are secret and I have to go initiate at some random centre, or join this club... etc. I want to do this yoga stuff at home. How are you practicing yoga?

@How to be wise The article you posted says that human beings are born with large amounts of untapped energy, and that when someone is passionate about something they throw away a lot of energy, and that leads to their death. Can you see the contradiction there? If we have large amounts of reserves, spending extra energy on passion shouldn’t be a problem. I’m not a big fan of yogis. I read a yoga book where it said that we have 114 chakra centres. Seriously, how did they come to that number? Did they count every one of them?

But if I realise the 'illusion' of the wants, I will not want enlightenment any more. I would much rather stay in the illusion than miss out on no-self experience.

You sound like someone who failed to achieve enlightenment and is now trying to get people to stop working towards it, that way you'll feel better about yourself. I want to be happy so I'm going to start doing self inquiry to get enlightenment. 'I want to be happy' is true for me.

@Leo Gura You can benefit from this thread.

Has anyone seen this video it's extremely funny ?

Is it possibile to contemplate and get answers to any question? Or are there some questions that you can't get answers to? What is the limit of contemplation?

Leo was on the forum less than an hour ago

I stumbled upon it in YouTube

An infinitely long hee...ey is coming.

Guys, why do you even post here. I doubt Leo even looks at these threads...
