@Pernani Lol, what more could you want? Reading books and "scriptures" is also important.

@andyjohnsonman This is explained by the notion of a soul. A soul is an individuated unit of cosmic consciousness which holds data even if you as the body/mind disappear. All souls are still ultimately one so this doesn't contradict nonduality. It just means there are layers to reality you are not aware of yet. Don't hold your body as primary. Soul is primary, body is just a costume it wears. Think of yourself as a hydra creature. Each head is one lifetime. Any head can be lost and the creature still lives on.

All the practices you've been told: Psychedelics Meditation Self inquiry Concentration Kriya yoga Contemplation Solo retreats Dark room retreats Shamanic breathing Etc You just refuse to do them seriously. Precisely because they produce results.

I don't really say anything new. Most of these things have been written in various arcane scriptures which no one bothers to read for over 5000 years. If you care to understand reality in its fullest there is no getting around reading at least 200 books. You're not really serious otherwise. Your curiosity is too weak. If you really cared, reading 200 books would be a small price to pay to understand the whole universe. Yes, most people will never do it. Psychedelics are the next best thing. But most people won't do that properly either. The reason is: you don't really want to know the truth. It's not comfortable or easy.

You will do it gladly. With love. Don't think of it as being the same stuck on a loop. You can make new choices each incarnation. It's like playing a video game. Each playthrough is different. Life's not a movie, it's a video game!

It tends to be ever-increasing. It doesn't make such sense for Albert Einstein to incarnate into a kangaroo. That would be a step down. Consider the possibility that there are higher beings than humans that you can incarnate into after you've maxed out being human. Consider the possibility of an entire chain of beings which are not even physical or part of our universe

Religion is not created by the mystic but by his unrealized, unpracticing followers. It's not about me, it's about you! What will you create? Will you be a devil? Or will you actualize Godliness? Of course ego will come in and corrupt my teachings -- and all teachings. It cannot be otherwise. Wherever there is truth there is devilry not far behind. The devil will never allow a mountain of truth to sit uncorrupted out in the open.

@Shaun But you're also infinitely loving and infinitely selfless so you have no needs, including the need to be free of suffering and manifestation.

@tedens Nah...

You already have! You got bored with that and incarnated into a human. So here you are! And now you want to go back??? What's the rush? After you end all manifestation you will be bored and re-create your human self again a million times over. You'll keep doing this for infinity. The end of manifestation, beginning of manifestation, and the middle of manifestation are all ONE! There is nowhere to go because there is only one place in the whole universe: nowhere. And you're already there no matter where you are. Try as you might you cannot escape from yourself! Wherever you go, there you are! Ta-da!

LOL It will take you 10 lifetimes to achieve Sadhguru's teaching skills.

@Cody_Atzori If you want to take that approach, a better affirmation would: I am God. It could be helpful, but probably not enough by itself. You can't really shortcut the inquiry if you want to truly awaken. And telling yourself, "I am God" would only be effective if you had a few glimpses already of what God is. Otherwise you'll just be filling your mind with wrong ideas of God. The point is that you have to SEE in your direct experience that you are God/nothing. Believing it is not good enough.

I've got a vid called Masculinity vs Femininity. It's pretty good from what I can remember of it And also How To Be A Man Part 2. If Elliot Hulse is using Trump as a role model for how to be a man, God help us all. Trump is not a man, he's a man-baby. Don't be that. Watch my video above.

Mystery Method is ridiculously out of date and cringy as hell. Your best bet would be RSD videos. Game without using routines or canned lines. You gotta be as natural as possible, so your game isn't game but your authentic personality on full display.

Maybe you have infinite lives. After all, God is infinitely powerful, so why would he limit himself to a finite number of lives?

Finally:

If it were 100 years ago, you might have been an actual slave and your kids would work 12 shifts in a sweatshop. Traditional values ain't gonna save you. Things are way fairer now than 100 years ago. Society keeps getting better and better but people still want to go back to the imaginary rosey past which never was.

Consider the possibility that you freely chose to incarnate into your current life. Which might give you a clue about your future. After all, God has infinite free will

@pluto Dude, it will take you 10 lifetimes to reach Sadhguru's level. Such arrogance.

@billiesimon When I said that I was speaking in very practical relative terms. Of course it isn't true in any absolute sense. But very practically, if you want to be a high value man, you gotta teach yourself to be a provider/boss/value-generator. Traditionally the man's role is to hunt and bring home the wild game. Not being able to do so will hit your self-esteem. Again, simply on a practical level. We're not talking about enlightenment here. Just advice for average guys, not woke masters. Teach yourself how to hunt. Not to please the woman or society but to empower yourself. Hunting feels good. Which is why males of our species play first person shooter games. Females don't play such games.

@emind What you're missing is love. Contemplate this: Why shouldn't you be happy that your ex is having sex? She is experiencing love and joy. Your spiritual growth is to realize that by loving her for getting love, you actualize your own love. And thereby everyone loves everyone else. Don't underestimate the power of this. Your job in this life is to love everything until it hurts. Practice generatimg love on her behalf. If you cannot feel love for those who are happy, that's a sign of how much growing up you've got to do. Love her and love yourself. Then from this loving place find a new girlfriend. Remember: You can love people without having sex with them or even seeing them. The key to love is that it is an unlimited resource. You don't need to hoard it or trade it or hold it back in reserve because your truest nature is Infinite Love! Think abundance, not scarcity. Fear is just a lack of love. Ta-da!

5-MeO-DMT is good for that.

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.
