Leo Gura

To me it's not so rare because I've studied lots of various masters. They are all profound in their own ways. If you have not studied many others then Sadhguru will seem rare. But clearly Sadhguru is great.

That's untrue. Don't assume it cannot be known. It can be known. Both are true: you can reincarnate and God has already experienced everything. This is not a contradiction. Whether you reincarnate and as what you reincarnate as will depend.

100% commitment is easy, 99% is hell.

Wisdom comes from connection to God, not academics. Academics are very disconnected, so their understanding is straight-jacketed.

That's a very short limbo. Consider yourself lucky. I get what you mean though. Sometimes loneliness can strike out of the blue.

I've rendered & uploaded this video 3 times now. Each time it fails to process. Each render & upload takes about 12 hours.

Youtube is definitely broken. I'm finding it impossible to upload videos. Every upload succeeds on my end but fails to process on their end. https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/5260978?hl=en I basically cannot upload videos any more unless they fix this. It doesn't seem that they are even aware of the problem yet.

I already uploaded it but YT failed to process it again. Something is off on their end.

If you could, you certianly couldn't explain how you do it via any conventional human paradigm of understanding. It would be a level of connection to God-consciousness beyond anything words could convey. I suspect it is possible. But only for exceptionally advanced yogis. You won't get there through self-inquiry.

Accepting and making sense of it took a long time. It's too amazing to believe. You see it and then you wonder: did I really see that? Couldn't be because it's too good to be true. And yet you know it's absolutely true.

Here's a pointer for ya: The pointer and moon are one

@kieranperez You are not fucked up, you are Love! Love is your soul's truest nature and highest desire. All you need to do when you've feeling down is love more. Love yourself. Love the universe. Love until it kills you. 24 is nothin'! You are a baby yet. Your whole life is ahead of you. You are right where you need to be. Replace your doubts with love and your soul will be happy.

The problem is that's poison to your body and mind. And you're squandering a good opportunity. It's like you go to Disneyland and rather than going on all the rides you lock yourself in the toilet. Technically there's no problem. But it's also a waste.

@Angelite Because I'm not in an abiding state of nondual awareness. I'm sorta semi-lucid but not 100% God-mode lucid. Which is what to me is the ultimate goal. Insight is important and good, peaks are good, but most importantly is the question of your minute to minute lucidity. I believe it's possible to be in full God-mode all the time. When you do 5-MeO it clearly shows you how unwoke you still are. It's a whole order of magnitude more wokeness than ordinary life. It's clear to me that such total wokeness is possible. And I certianly don't have that yet.

Sometimes it can. But meditation is usually more focused on hitting higher states of consciousness rather than addressing buried psychological baggage. There are many layers to your mind which root many of your personal problems which meditation is largely unconcerned with. A lot of Zen masters and enlightened masters can still have significant shadow.

@leintdav000 You have to set your own challenges in school or anywhere else if you wanna be great. Ain't nothing more challenging than a 30 day solo retreat, balls to the wall towards awakening.

I mostly keep to myself. I'm not a very social person. I am happy rolling solo most of the time. A few intimate friends and lovers are no problem. Discussing with them is no problem usually.

Because society makes it easy, herding you into it like a sheep. Now you are on your own. You can actually learn much faster and deeper as an adult. But no one will motivate you. It's all on you. In fact, since you are now trying to move beyond the center of gravity of your culture, they will actively drag you down and discourage you from trying. So it's all on you twice over. Plus you gotta pay your bills, so it's all on you thrice over.

@Lynnel It's tricky for sure. It's not merely a matter of belief. Belief is not what creates your body, for example, but your body IS a hallucination. So this process of creation is not as easy a beleiving whatever the hell you want and it appears. But if you are tripping on psychedelics they open your mind up so much that you can literally imagine a devil and see it materialize before your eyes. But this is not just belief. It's the machinery of Universal Mind which spawns physical reality. You cannot access this machinery easily in ordinary states of human conscious. Because your sense of reality must be maintained to maintain your human life. Your mind works very hard to create a solid sense of "reality" otherwise the game of human life would be up. Fear is pervasive due to the ego's survival function and your belief in death. Growing up is all about learning to master your fear and negative thinking.

Yes and no. Since God is all God ultimately creates all. Since you are God, you create all, including your own suffering. That's the trickery of nonduality. All formulations of it never quite capture both sides of it.

@Shadowraix Yes, my first deepest 5-MeO breakthrough to God took over a year to integrate. It was traumatically profound. No words can do it justice.

Since you are God, you are the only authority that exists. So whatever you hold as the case becomes your reality. If you think you deserve punishment, you will get. If you think some adult is your authority figure, that becomes your reality. If you think you are crazy, you become so. What the psychedelic ultimately shows you is that all of reality is your own projection. So be careful what you think or you just might get it. If you think scary thoughts you will get scary experiences. That's how people create their own living hells. Such "bad" trips as yours are all part of the journey. It was exactly what you needed at this time in your life. The next trip will be different if you've learn your lessons. Such "bad" trips are necessary to teach you the importance of respecting these powerful substances. The lesson is: these are not toys. So next time you will be much more careful with your protocol, attitude, and setting.

Ennegram is also a type, like male/female.

@Aakash Truth is radical. It must be, since is has to account for EVERYTHING! Of course Truth and Love are identical.

Ironically practice can get in the way of spirituality in the same way that religious church rituals do. Yet at the same time, without serious practice you will not get very far. That's what makes this work so tricky. It's a catch-22.
