In a sense, yes. Of course every finite experience is infinitely complex. It's not just complex, it's infinitely complex. And yet it's still finite. Obviously not. There is an infinite amount of formed experiences which I have never and will never experience. That is not necessary. I don't need to experience every dog in the universe to understand what a dog is. I can grok dog as an abstraction in one fell swoop. The highest levels of truth are pure abstractions.

And that will always be a trap that I will have to point out until I'm dead. It would be best if you just learned this lesson right now and forever.

Careful This is just a belief. You have no idea what is accurate and what is inaccurate. I've personally verified inaccuracies in his books. It goes against all our work here to blindly believe some dude just because he claims to channel "source". The vast majority of his books are pure hearsay as far as you're concerned.

Just like the mind

There are more problems than that. Don't forget the body's health. Stop framing this as a mutually exclusive thing. You must do both. And don't do psychedelics daily. I only did them daily for specific experiments. I would never make that a chronic habit. That would go against core principles of personal development. -

@Meister_Eckhart How do you know anything? The problem here is that you're taking knowledge for granted. You've never bothered to wonder how knowledge is possible at all and what makes it tick. Spend a few years contemplating that. -

That is not what I said. Go re-read what I said and the context in which I said it. -
His situation cannot be separated from him. Your situation cannot be separated from you. You ARE your situation. And he is his.

If you were in his shoes, you'd be him, and you'd behave exactly as he did. Your attitude is different precisely because you are not in his shoes.

It's experience beyond experience. I am God. The end. -

I'm not attached to it either way. That's right. But there are costs. I never trip to feel good. Ever. Every trip has valuable existential insight. I tend to prefer heavy trips. I don't see much point in micro-dosing. Because it becomes a crutch and you need to rewire your brain thru manual effort to go far in this work. Building concentration ability is crucial for this work. You cannot succeed in this work without it. And psychedelics will not build your concentration ability. You need to reach a point where you can enter samadhi through sober concentration. -
And that is a huge problem. There is a lot more to this work than enlightenment alone. And there is no such thing as one singular enlightenment. There are many grades and qualities of it. Low grades are easy to attain. High grades are extremely rare.

Hehehe... No, they are just clueless about it. They embody their lack of epistemic understanding by being dogmatic and ideological.

You will never achieve enlightenment that way. Only fools say that. Serious people seek it HARD. You can pursue truth without making a religion. You can explore Australia without making it a religion. -
That's why I said to use a few drops of light coconut milk.

Don't trust anyone. Especially your self. -
Lol GOD. IS. EVERYTHING! Without a finite expression God can have no expression at all. All expressions of God must be finite because the infinite is infinitely inexhaustible.

Of course. Because virtually nobody is genuinely interested in pursuing truth. Most people pursue spirituality because it makes them feel good, which is still function of ego/survival. People are not seriously interested in deconstructing themselves and reality. Those folks who get sucked into yoga or a Sadhguru program are doing it out of conformity, not any serious desire for truth. Nobody following Sadhguru is interested in truth. They watch his videos like a monkey who has discovered a shiny peddle. Ha! People are 99% deluded before spirituality and then they become 97% deluded after practicing spirituality. Even deeply enlightened people can still be highly deluded. As I keep saying, none of this stuff is a binary switch. There are many, many degrees and dimensions to spiritual work. Just because someone does some spiritual practices or studies some spiritual material does not mean jack. You should still treat them as though they are deeply deluded. I find that most spiritual people do not take epistemic issues seriously. They couldn't even tell you what epistemology is. Go ask on of Sadhguru's followers about epistemology. You will see they are clueless. The kind of things I talk about are not talked about in most spiritual schools. It is not all the same, as it might seem. Just because someone uses words like "love", "God", "spirituality", "meditation", "consciousness", "awakening", etc. does not mean they are on the same level. These binary words obscure a lot of depth. Never, ever trust that some spiritual person is fully awake. I don't care how many decades of experience he has.

Don't lose sight of the point. The point of skepticism is not an end in itself but a means to arrive at truth. What we really care about is truth. Do you have a pure, genuine desire for truth? If you do, then you will be loyal to that end, not to skepticism. Skepticism is only valuable in so far as it is helping you in your mission to reach truth. If skepticism stops serving that function, then you must discard it. For example, how do you know that your use of skepticism isn't a self-deception? Why do you assume skepticism will lead you to truth? How can you be sure you're apply skepticism properly? Ground yourself in a pure, genuine desire for truth, and the rest will fix itself. -

@Breakingthewall Relying on a chemical to sustain your consciousness is a terrible long-term strategy. You must find ways to get the same effect naturally. Otherwise you will always be a slave to that chemical. -
I don't dispute that.

You can't solve poverty simply by handing out cash. It's a deeper systemic, infrastructural, and mind problem.

Why is it when you google "white dick" and then google "black dick", the black dicks are bigger? Google so bias! Trying to bring down the white man.

A lot of spiritual people are not truly thinking for themselves or contemplating reality, they are just blindly following a new, higher kind of religion/ideology, which easily becomes a cult. I've met western Zen Buddhists whose minds are riddled with Buddhist dogma and no direct experience of God.

Not a good idea to take it daily. Of course vaping harms the lungs.
