@Leo Gura have read a lot of books from the hand of Ralston. In one book he mentioned that space doesnt exist. Have contemplated this quite a lot but it doesnt make sense to me. In my experience there is clearly a difference between space and an object.

 

Why it has to make sense, most of things make no sense, we just take them for granted and with time just assume that they make sense.

 I also believe it's possible to self-realize without Kundalini, but i don't think it would be possible to realize the bliss aspect of God without it. 

Hey man, is your Kundalini awake ? if so, what does it feel like ?, I was researching about it and found just misinformation, I think it may be happening to me, but I'm not sure, do you have a recommendation of a book or video about it ?

about teachers, I've been watching Rupert Spira a lot, and he explains evertyhing very well, I had a really hard time understanding all this things, until I find his book

Competing in martial arts is like the exact opposite of what is taught in Advaita Vedanta, Hinduism and those things. Both selfish desire (competition) and violence is included in martial arts

As a martial artist, I can tell you that one's motives change as you develop through time. I started out because I wanted to learn how to defend myself, then I went through a period of thinking I was tough, then I developed a passion for it. There's no ego now, I love the training, the pyhsical fitness aspect, the artistic expression, and the sense of community it provides. I see the same patterns in people who seek enlightenment as well as in artists, philosophers, etc. Most people embark on any type of journey for egoic purposes but those motives transform as the person matures.

Wow, that's kinda black and white thinking man.  Just saying.

@Mikael89 lol most martial arts of the east evolved side by side with non-dual traditions. What in the world are you talking about? WWE perhaps?

I'm about to read a book by a yogi who spent 30 years straight meditating for 8 hours per day. Don't even dare to guess what he became conscious of.

I must say you are good at blue balling lol

@Leo Gura Do you believe that the level of intelligence someone has is proportionate to the depth of awakening they are capable of? 

The word intelligence is confusing to people. Most people think of intelligence as IQ or human mind stuff. That is not the Absolute Intelligence I talk about.

No, I would not equate intelligence with awakening. The wiser you are, the more likely you are to see the need to awaken. Let's put it that way.

God's Intelligence is infinite, but to you this falls on deaf ears. You must awaken to this fact.

He said that full enlightenment is not possible unless you are engulfed in a burning desire for God, which takes over your entire life. That is not the case for me. Not even close.

This is where 5-MeO-DMT (or other psychedelics) can be so useful. They will help you cultivate a desire for God, Love, Truth, and Consciousness -- which will then make you really serious about this work. And then you will get massive gainz!

I don't think Peter Ralston feels enlightened at all. 

His book "The book of not knowing" is a pain in the ass to read, it just feels like mental masturbation, mind games. While for example "The Upanishads", "Ashtavakra Gita" and "Bhagavad Gita" is a joy to read, can't stop reading those kind of books.

Also interesting that Peter competed in martial arts, maybe that is an indication of a massive ego? And I can sense that massive ego when I see him talking in videos.

Competing in martial arts is like the exact opposite of what is taught in Advaita Vedanta, Hinduism and those things. Both selfish desire (competition) and violence is included in martial arts. Next step would be to be in the military and shoot people.

But of course, I could be wrong. I'm not that closed minded.

Well, you are very wrong. Watch out for judgments and projections.

@Leo Gura Yes Leo , maybe it's time to listen some of the fully enlightened masters and stopping fantasizing . Like Osho said '' Yoga is just spitirual gymnastic for the body'' . 

One more time , you are confusing mystical experiences , bliss , infinite love , with enlightenment , you can't let go of that 

Dude, allow some leeway for people to go through a process of discovery and growth.

You're being a flippant harpy.

More compassion, less harping.

I do not confuse mystical experience with Truth/Infinity/Love/Consciousness. Do not confuse 5-MeO-DMT for mystical experience.

Love is not something you let go of. Love is the consequence of having fully let go.

I read the Upanishads -- but most of it was fluff and it was more like finding a few diamonds in a huge pile of fluff on the rare occasion.  I definitely did not "enjoy" reading the Upanishads, but I did it just to know what's in there.  Most of it I could do without frankly.  I found reading the Tao Te Ching infinitely more rewarding than reading the Upanishads, but that's just me.  I do suggest that everyone read the Upanishads though, you should know what's in there.  It is fascinating how these ancient writings talk about stuff that we still talk about today.  It was a worthwhile experience for me, but I had higher expectations.

Leo in a few decades.

Will you resist him because he consumed 5-meo like candies, or will you listen ?

Tao de Ching was the first spiritual book I read, still love it. Its poetic though, not for everyone.
