There's nothing vague about it. Stop mentally masturbating and start doing serious yoga. Yoga is not an exercise of philosophy or scientific modeling.

Numerous studies used to show the Earth was flat. Stop with this silly pop-science. In the hands of a fool, a study can show anything the fool believes.

Change is harder than most people expect. It's not that it doesn't work. It works too effectively. The problem is, you don't really want to change, and you're not addressing the root of your issues. No one has shown you how to actually APPLY self-help advice. So you're lost in theory and improper application. Victim mentality (which is what your entire post is), can be tricky to overcome. Especially when you are first starting out and you're deep in the hole from a lifetime of dysfunctional living. The good new is: the advice works and the end-results you can get are way beyond your wildest dreams. The bad news is: it will take lots of work to actualize it. Redouble your efforts, have hope, and drop your victim mentality. P.S. Getting pissed is part of the process.

@ppfeiff I never said anything against improving one's lifestyle, diet, etc. Those are actually all a function of how one uses one's mind. Nor did I say that the mind is the only role in healing. I said "most", not all. You're the one making assumptions. The way you speak about the "physical" clearly tells me that you believe in physical reality. Otherwise you wouldn't be saying such things. So your level of consciousness is no secret to me.

@ppfeiff I am saying it's possible to cure even things like cancer using the mind. Not always, but possible. Because your mind controls your immune system. But this is something you're not going to understand at your current level of consciousness. Because you still believe in a physical reality. The healing arts are a deep topic which takes years of study and practice to really fathom. And it takes a very open mind. There is a deep mystical component to healing, above and beyond the psychological and "physical" aspects. Stuff like ADHD is definitely a good candidate for yogic healing. No guarantees, but worth a shot. Obviously the psychological and physical aspects should also be looked after. If you're eating bad food, that could be an important factor. But then again, yoga will purify your mind and chakras so much that you should automatically want to start eating healthier.

@lmfao Research the origins of astrology and read some books about what it really is. As with every spiritual topic, don't assume you know best.

I don't distinguish between psychedelics and non-psychedelics. It's all a hallucination. Whatever your present state is, it is chemically induced. Ego is just chemicals at work. Any thought you have is a hallucination. Especially the thought, "But Leo, this is not a hallucination!" P.S. Chemistry itself is also a hallucination.

The idea that astrology is a mass cultural delusion is itself a mass cultural delusion. Oh the irony... Also, don't conflate pop online horoscopes with serious astrology. If you're gonna do astrology, go to a real astrologist.

Don't be so materialist. You've no idea yet what yoga can cure. Ain't so such thing as a "physical body" or "cause and effect". Most diseases are self-created by improper use of the mind.

Speech is freer today than it has ever been in any time in human history. Stop listening to the intellectual dark web crybabies.

Yup, that's exactly how it tends to go. Although 360ug is a massive amount of LSD. A wonderful substance.

@phoenix666 I don't understand why part 1 would work, but not parts 2 & 3. It's the exact same video player. Maybe try Google Chrome browser. Are you viewing this on a mobile device? Try another device/PC.

@kieranperez Test and see. Should be promising.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's set a good example for newbies here. Stop sniping at each other. It accomplishes nothing. Don't make your posts here personal. And any grudges you hold against another member, just drop it.

@Preetom Glad to be of service

Do the hard work.

@WildeChilde Politics is just ego trying to justify its selfish positions. It is never supposed to be fair, honest, truthful, or to end. The hamster spins on the wheel until it's dead. The counter-intuitive move is to rise above the whole dynamic, seeing it as a red herring.

@Durka_Durka You're too focused on action. Don't worry about that. Fixing your self-esteem is INNER work. You don't have to do everything you write. Consciousness is being raised by the exercises. The exercises ARE the action in this case. Stop guilting yourself and allow yourself to just do the exercises without expectations or rules, without needing some kind of outcome. As your self-esteem & consciousness increases, your action-taking abilities will also increase. Action != self-esteem

If you do not become conscious that purpose, meaning, and value are created by your ego-mind, you will forever be a slave to self-survival and never reach the deepest levels of nonduality. It is absolutely vital that you guys become conscious of what meaning, purpose, and value really are. Your entire deluded life hinges on those 3 things. The slate needs to be wiped clean. You need to come face-to-face with the fact that life is utterly meaningless. Only then does spirituality begin. "Living in the moment" or BEING is not a purpose, nor is there any meaning in it. Sit down and contemplate: "What is meaning? Where does it come from?" Another exercise you can do every morning is to look around the room and tell yourself, "Every object in this room is totally meaningless and valueless." Focus on each object and tell yourself, "This object meanings nothing." Then move on to the next object. Don't make any excuses or exceptions for any objects. Don't even make an exception for your body, your child, your cat, your dog, your spouse, your wallet, etc. They are all meaningless.

Realistically, you're not going to know. You gotta keep probing it over and over again for years. Your understanding of the topic will keep deepening. A topic like Fear you could contemplate for decades and still find new insights there. Fear is a huge topic. Fear runs your entire life in many subtle ways. Fear also runs humanity and civilization at large.

@Shakazulu Get to Pranayama ASAP. You're wasting time with all that beginner pose stuff. Pranayama is where the results lie.

@Highest From the absolute's perspective there is no evolution. Everything exists eternally, simultaneously as an infinite singularity. From the relative perspective, human beings perceive time and linear cause/effect. So in this sense there is evolution. Evolution appears to occur inside the dream. This explanation makes no logical sense. And yet it is true.
