Leo Gura

@Outer I can imagine that something like what your video is showing could be possible. That would be an insane degree of consciousness. I haven't yet experienced that on 5-MeO. That degree of consciousness would be inaccessible to all but the most hardcore practitioners. You ain't gonna get that through ordinary meditation or self-inquiry. A massive dose 5-MeO might do it. Or you would have to be a super-yogi, like Sadhguru. Change of the FOV would be something you could get on a high dose of LSD. But that's not enlightenment per se.

The problem with waiting is, you might get run over by a bus tomorrow.

You guys still aren't getting Green. Let go of your preconceptions.

I think the problem is that Ken Wilber got caught up with the stage Orange internet marketers and sales gurus who dominate the self-help field. He hangs out with people in those circles. They helped him monetize his theories, courses, and material. Which is a bad idea because they are shameless salesmen, which cheapens Wilber's message. The marketing and sales apparatus of the self-help industry is very sleazy and manipulative Orange. It's really out of integrity with the material being taught. They will take something like Spiral Dynamics and pitch it to you as a cure-all for solving all of your problems: from losing weight, to have more sex, to earning lots of money. Because otherwise no one will buy a course about Spiral Dynamics. It's too nerdy a topic. Ken Wilber is not a mainstream guy. So trying to mainstream him ruins it. The wisest teachers will never be mainstream.

Even if everything was not one, nothing would still be wrong. You don't need to be in a nondual state to see that even within duality, nothing's wrong.

@Nagma If you're asking this kind of question, then for you, no.

I think you are misunderstanding what Sadhguru meant by 360 vision. It's not literal, it's metaphorical. Your FOV does not change. The sense in which your vision becomes 360 is that you become conscious that the self is not located behind the eyes in the skull, so your consciousness becomes omnipresent. This does NOT mean you can see behind your skull. Its means that your normal field of vision becomes recontextualized in a way that cannot easily be explained in words. In a nutshell, perception becomes Being. You become the entire visual field. You become the world. The boundary between your body or sense of self and the world disappears. You are AWAKE. It's not really possible to imagine what being AWAKE means until you are AWAKE. The best description of it is, it's like waking up from a dream.

@Neptune2020 You didn't get actual Nothingness, you got an idea of nothingness. The two are unrelated. Enlightenment is life-changing, but you didn't even come close to it yet. Keep trying. But drop your idea of nothingness. That ain't it. Also drop your expectation of fireworks. Your intention should be on "what is true". What are you? Not theortically, but ACTUALLY! Find the pure raw TRUTH. Not some idea.

That quote is accurate even from a relative perspective. Obviously "wrong" is relative to one's ego.

Salads are hard to sustain. Meat is a good source of energy. But if you're going vegetarian, you'll probably need a lot of grains. Like rice or quinoa. Or potatoes. Lots of fruits is also good. You gotta experiment and find something you're comfortable with and keep evolving it over time.

Of course And so what?

@cirkussmile That would not concern a badass Egyptian priest.

@cena655 Just notice that there's really nothing "bad" about it. Your mind is just over-reacting and going into hysterics. Take a moment to calm yourself down. Trust the universe. And enjoy being self-less. Tell your body, "It's okay".

It's a really good video. Good food for thought. But also I think he just expected too much of Ken Wilber. Wilber's theories are obviously not going to solve of mankind's political problems. That was never going to be possible. And Wilber's claims of intelligent design are correct, despite the denials from the scientific establishment. Evolution is intelligent. You can discover this for yourself at ridiculously high levels of consciousness. Doesn't sound like Mark Manson has had direct nondual experiences. Or maybe just little glimpses. And OF COURSE enlightenment != moral perfection or emotional mastery. We have talked about this issue to death. Enlightened people can become corrupt and make mistakes.

@Leo-Tzu In the videos I linked in the blog post, they tell you how many cenimeters per year the Earth is supposed to be growing. It's like 10 cm or something similar. And the rate of growth is accelerating. Some of those in-depth videos I linked go into a lot of detail about the mechanics of how this might work, and address all the common objections. Of course that doesn't mean they are right, but it at least shows that the theory has some legs and can stand up to skeptics.

@Leo-Tzu The inner core of the Earth contains more water than all of the Earth's oceans combined within a newly discovered substance called ringwoodite: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rare-diamond-confirms-that-earths-mantle-holds-an-oceans-worth-of-water/ That easily accounts for where the oceans came from. The Earth could be growing from the inside out by some kind of physical, subatomic process. Accumulation of particles from the outside would not account for Earth's growth. If it is growing at all, it's growing from the inside. This actually helps to explain why the Earth's atmosphere keeps from being eroded by solar wind: the atmosphere gets replenished by gasses escaping the core.

@Recursoinominado Sadhguru has several different programs of Hatha yoga. That's what you're looking for.

Well, they are supposed to accrete during the formation of the solar system. That's fairly plausible.

Indeed, it's a very radical hypothesis which would undermine much of existing geology and science. Which would explain why serious scientists would not take it seriously (paradigm lock). The idea is that all planets manufacture their own mass! Somehow... Or, it's an expanding hollow-ish sphere with constant mass. Regardless, if the Earth is increasing in radius at all (whether growing or expanding) there needs to be fairly significant mechanism at work at the core which is as yet unknown. Why would a constant-mass object expand?

@Outer That's fine. You should be skeptical. It's a crazy theory, if true. I am all for putting the theory to the test.

@Outer Yes, I heard the oxygen theory too. But it doesn't seem plausible to me. There seems to be a larger bio-mechanical issue. A two foot dragonfly will not fly, even with more oxygen in the atmosphere. At least that's my guess. Try to imagine a dragonfly with a wingspan of two feet!

Obviously mass of the Earth would be much less. The claim is that the mass of the Earth is growing. The other possibility is that the Earth's center of mass is towards the surface more than to its center, such that expanding radius would lessen gravity. This is the hollow sphere model, which means the Earth's core might be something like light plasma vs a dense iron core.

@AMS Awesome work! Sounds like fun I'm pretty sure this is how our ancestors, like the ancient Egyptian preists might have done it, but for much longer periods of time. Imagine spending a whole year inside a locked tomb. You will get some crazy spiritual insights that way. It's the simplest spiritual technology imaginable.

@dynamics No, hate can exist at any stage.
