How do you feel about Nithyananda? Didn't he run away to an island off Ecuador after being revealed as sexually abusive?

Cool share. Noticed he has a video interview at the gas pump: In case anybody else finds it useful to get a feel for an author before diving in.

Nice

Breakfast Muesli with banana, dried goji berries, cashews, coconut yoghurt, honey or molasses, and store bought almond milk Lunch Nothing Dinner Basmati rice with red lentils + Potato, sweet potato, carrot, pumpkin, cabbage Everything organic.

Good stuff.

If you will, for a moment, drop all of the details about your life ("I intuit I will be at X in 5-20 years, I work 26 hours a week, I play music" etc...). Find a quiet place. Sit still. Close your eyes. Ask yourself: Why am I distracting myself? Then remain quiet. *** What comes up? Often the first thing that comes up, the thing that comes up most, or the one you feel most in your heart/body/soul will lead you to an answer. *** Possible follow-up questions (if needed): When I ask why am I distracting myself, do I feel fear? If so, what is that fear?

'I think' = hesitation = you aren't feeling ready to let go And that's okay.

By manifest I mean all phenomena (trees, sounds, light, etc...). By unmanifest I mean that which can't be named, spoken, pointed to (the eternal, the unspeakable, Atman) If the answer is yes, why?

God's Mountain by John Scott and for early civilization and intricate details about the crystalline structure of the universe. Out of Australia by Steven & Evan Strong for a controvertial but possibly ground-breaking take on the origin of humans. The Trap by David Icke for origin of existence in general. Some occasional great one-liners from Yogananda in his talks, see Man's Eternal Quest (Collected Essay series), Bhagavad Gita Commentary. Leo's videos.

Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated

Ah yeah, and: If one human learns not to kill another person, why does God separate itself into more humans who also eventually learn (or not learn) to kill others? Wouldn't God learn its lesson through one human, then be able to automatically apply implement that wisdom to all humans? It's like God is repeating the same mistakes through the vehicle of endless humans/ forms etc...?

Great post ? Questions: If God finds a part where it's divine bliss, why doesn't it just stay in that divine bliss for eternity instead of doing all this creating and exploring and risking the possibility of pain and suffering? When one person is at the peak of an Absolute awakening, and they feel themselves as everything that ever has been, is, and will be, how is it that you could have another person on the other side of the world who also awakens to the Absolute Truth? Are there two separate simultaneous Absolute awakenings, even though Absolute would imply there is only one? Is it true that I will (perhaps some point after my physical / egoic death) experience your subjective reality at some point? Will I repeat my subjective life more than once? And therefore I should make it the best one possible?

Why is useful for stuff. Ask 1000's why's and you may enter the wonderful agrippa's trilemma.

God punishes you by giving you everything you want. !

Yes. Reincarnation is real .

I eat around 3 handfuls a day, more than the recommended. Haven't had any issues.

After many biohacking adventures and a twinkle of insight, my conclusion is that powder-this, supplement-that... You don't need all this garb. Eat healthy whole foods and maintain a calm mind and ya gravy.

Stress is bad for you. Junk food is bad for you.

I don't eat meat because: Eating meat, I take on the emotional and thought energy of the animal which are negative if factory farmed I value the animal's life more than the acquired taste of it (my pallete for vegies and simple whole foods increased enough to where I don't miss the taste of meat anymore, even though it still smells good) Takes a lot work and time for the body to digest compared to fruit and veggies It's not nutritionally necessary (scold me trust-the-science meatlovers )
