What do you feel when you watch this video? Do you feel compassion? Anger? I feel nothing but compassion for a fellow human being the surely suffer a lot, but i didn't have a family member shot dead by him, what do i know. Do you think it could have been prevented if his brother were more open and loving to him like he shows in this video? For sure, that's why i am committed to living a life full of acts of love and compassion, you never know how deeply you can change someones live with a few loving words.

I loved to read this, i also resonate with his teachings but failed to follow through with his exercises and you are the first report i read about someone who is committed to applying them. Definitely going to try this one. Where did you find this exercise?

Great thread, makes me want to meditate again.

Tell me i am not alone on this. This forum and lots of others like fb groups i am part of seems to be full of non-sense posts that( i guess) were intended to be super deep and profound but ultimately make no sense at all even to spiritual standards. I am not even talking about grammar here, because my english sucks(for writing but i understand perfectly) and i know the limits of language on those topics. But if you are in a forum, my guess is that would make more sense to try to make your message clear. Seems to me that there are lots of spiritual delusion going on (yeah yeah maya, is all an illusion but you still have to communicate).

Isn't everything?

That's not how it works, You don't HAVE to be something to see it in the "outer world", worry, fear or plain curiosity usually do the trick And that's why you don't take a teaching and repeat it without realizing it's truth.

holy shit, this is awesome, i watched a few episodes and found boring, i didn't knew this. And you are right. I also want to to a psychology major lol And i had an insight, that's why i "attract" lots of people with serious mental, psychological and emotional problems. I always thought that if "like attracts like", if i attract lots of fuck up people i also was fucked up but now i understand that this was only half true. Yes, i passed through lots (and still am) fucked up shit but i also have a kind of "wisdom"( still a long way to go)to withstand fucked up situations without losing my shit and possibly be even happy, this represents hope to other people in fucked up situations that feel hopelessness.

Hell yeah, fuck mental masturbation, i want to be unconditional love.

Maybe because according to with his documentary, he was one of the first to bring this east knowledge to the west and westerners see the world vastly different from the easterns. Maybe it is more appealing here in the west to say that yoga will bring you more calmness and thus productivity in work then it is to say that it will bring enlightenment or union with the divine. And then give the true teaching to the ones who takes spirituality seriously.

Yes, you DO have to possess a freaking open-mindedness. I suspect that suffering brought us all here and usually mentally ill people suffer a lot and tend to look for alternatives beyond the common truth. I am particularly interested in this because all my mother family has a serious illness and i suspect that is due to spiritual awakenings that they are ignorant about and fight forever with it.

Of course my unsatisfaction with the subject is a projection of my deep-rooted worries, i am aware of that, but still, seems to be a common thing in spiritual communities and i rarely see anyone talking about it. And yes, it is a distraction, almost everything is, this forum is basically a giant collective mental masturbation space (not saying that i don't like it, i am here for a reason).

You made good points and spoke with kindness, i like you. Indeed, it isn't the first comment i receive about lack of kindness in my words, i guess is a reflection on how i treat myself, in a masculine way, with hard raw facts, works for me and i assume that works for others but i may be wrong.

Probably you are right but i wasn't trying to be mean when i recommended professional help, this seems to be frequent in spiritual communities. How would you say?

Assuming that he isn't just a troll, he seems delusional and made little to no sense at all.

High QI isn't everything and you seem to be in need of some professional help.

I experimented with ayahuasca 9 times in religious settings ("Santo Daime" and "UDV"). When i was doing some research, i found several reports of people who took ayahuasca for themselves in a non-religious setting and it went pretty bad, i read one that the experience went horribly, left most people involved traumatized and one even committed suicide. I am not saying that this will happen to you but maybe there is a reason that ayahuasca is usually taken in a controlled setting with experienced people/shamans. The one time i took a moderate/high dose of shrooms (5g) i found it very powerful and the trip was pretty similar from the ones i had with ayahuasca.

Lots of people next to me seems to be extremely triggered yesterday.

As far as i know, almost everything affects your consciousness, food(big time), people, toxins(air, water, earth, hygiene products etc), environment, water, radiation, medication, nutrients, hell, even planetary alignment( and eclipses) is said to affect consciousness.

@Outer You are in a forum about spirituality and enlightenment, science isn't going to be much helpful. Experience is king.

According to Osho, and many books i read, the chakras location vary from person to person (not majorly but there are minor differences). For instance, most books i read says that the solar plexus chakra is right above the navel but i tend to feel it at least 15cm above, almost where your picture points to. My bet is that it is tour solar plexus chakra and your heart chakra is somewhere in the middle of your chest.

@Cudin @Cudin I think it also depends of the quality of the weed, you said you live in Brazil(me too) and we know that the weed here is usually pretty bad. In places where it is legalized, you can choose a type that's strong, give you less anxiety, or something like this, i also think that it has fewer contaminants. Weed has some side effects like lowering your sleep quality that has so many effects on your life. When i used to smoke, i started to noticed that even days after i smoke, my meditation would suffer, my mind was agitated and a little anxious, it was hard to focus. When i dropped it, i felt a lot of withdrawn symptoms for almost 2 weeks. Have you tried mushrooms? I used to prefer LSD but when i did mushrooms, i loved it and the trip is shorter, which is nice for most people that don't have much spare time. It is also more natural, is hard to find a high grade pure LSD here in Brazil.

I would give him a nice spiritual book.

Sadhguru recommends basically a raw foods diet (with exception of onion and garlic, they make the mind agitated).

Vegetarians that eat only raw foods are rare, as anything, you have to research a little about it because the transition will cause some effects (mostly detox effects) since you are eating the diet that you suppose to eat probably for the first time in your life and your body now its on healing mode (and as all types of healing, you will experience some discomforts). Its not a matter of only take the pasta out of your diet, you actually only eat fruits and raw vegetables (carrots, beets, cucumber, cabbage, greens, herbs, spices etc). I recommend Arnold Ehret books and Dr. Robert Morse and Liferegenaretor channels on youtube. I was a vegan before and i still had lots of problems until i learned about detox/fasting/raw foods, i have never been so healthy, happy, free from aches, pains and i am only in the beginning of the journey, i can only imagine how i will feel some years ahead. It really accelerated my spiritual development, it made me deal with a lot of shit that was being suppressed with food. It is not for everyone, only for those who want to be the best that they can be.
