All those are common abilities for advanced yogis. You guys still aren't getting it.

Sadhguru could easily get more laid than an RSD instructor if he wanted to. And he would know how to fully enjoy it too

That's too deep and complex of a topic to address here. Holotropic Breathwork & psychedelics are two simple and highly effective techniques, out of many others.

A very good question. You should contemplate that deeply. Might even lead to an enlightenment experience or two

"Great wisdom looks like stupidity." -- Lao Tzu Indeed, you are very wrong. But I will leave it to you to figure that out. The things being spoke here, none of you are prepared to comprehend yet. Your minds are too closed. You are wasting your time with this mental masturbation. Go self-inquire! Maybe in 20 years you can come back here and understand.

It's really a no-brainer. Humans are not meant to eat wheat. It's empty calories with no nutrients, it's hard to digest, and all modern forms of wheat have been genetically engineered to be extra-resistant to bugs, so they are even harder for humans to digest. Many people allergic to wheat amd don't even know it. Wheat makes you sleepy and lazy. If you don't eat wheat or sugar, it's almost impossible to get fat.

@hundreth I cut out dairy, whey protein, and certain meats, and nearly all my acne vanished forever.

I highly doubt you've experienced true enlightenment. There is further to go!

@Ether Discover for yourself what is being pointed to.

You spend all week there, 24/7 Yes, they provide rooms and food. Usually it's two people per room on separate beds. Although often you can pay extra for a private room. I usually pay extra. 17 should be fine

@Ether After enough observation of the present moment, eventually something POPS: you never existed to begin with.

@Ether Enlightenment is nothing other than the eternal emptiness of the present moment. All you gotta do is focus your attention on it. It really is that simple. But when you focus your attention on it steadily for a very long time, something POPS!

Good for them

@Caterpillar You'd be surprised how much girls are attracted to high consciousness. Deep down it's what they've always dreamed of in a guy without knowing. You just still gotta be proactive with attracting them. Don't expect to just sit like a yogi and have them flocking at your feet. Although on second thought, if you really were a serious yogi, you'd have hot girls flocking at your feet!

@Mart You're talking about an affirmation, not a mantra. Affirmations do work. But they require daily practice for months really, to drill it into your mind. And you have to do them with really feeling and conviction, not in a piddly half-hearted fashion. REALLY picture yourself being confident until you make it a living reality (for at least 5 minutes).

@Blissout I spoil you guys with too many answers. That's the problem.

@CruellerSloth As Sadhguru says, "All business is the business of growing human consciousness." (paraphrasing) The only question is, how consciously do you want to do it?

That is something you should contemplate. The issue of finding truth is a very tricky one. It requires years of contemplation. Don't expect anyone to give you an answer because it's not about having an answer, it's about becoming aware of the traps and fundamental issues of how the mind works. You should be EAGER to contemplate this stuff and find your own answers.

She will pay the cost for that for the rest of her life though. Personal development is a long-term investment. Yes, to onlookers it will at first seem like you're wasting your time. Until years later when your entire relationship to life has been transformed and you're chill as a cucumber, meanwhile they are stuck with all their old neurosis, their life full of suffering and drama. Of course if you focus only on work, you will get more work done. But work never ends. You are a hamster spinning in a wheel.

@RossE Life is exciting as fuck. There's too much to do an not enough lifetimes to do it all! What is the point of all your development and spirituality if you're not becoming more conscious of the awesomeness of life? Yes it's meaningless in the end, but you already knew you would die since you were a kid and that didn't stop you from living. So just pick a mission for yourself and get to work on it. The point is to DESIGN your life any way you want! Go be a skydiver or pornstar or whatever. Life is the ultimate sandbox MMORPG. Why do you need some sort of externally enforced meaning? Create your own! Be a creator! Be an artist. The problem is that you haven't designed your life purpose.

For you, it may be 10 years

@username I am generally open to all techniques. It's just a matter of limited time and energy. I already have a backlog of techniques and things to try out. Years worth. So I have to be very selective.

@username No, I personally don't get into that kind of stuff. Not because I think it's necessarily BS, but because my focus is on figuring out reality from scratch for myself. I don't like depending on any guru or any technique or anyone. My premise is: whatever is ultimately true must be achievable independent of any human teacher or teaching. For me, the most powerful method is solo-retreats and psychedelics. Nothing is as direct as that. With that said, I have studied hundreds of different teachers. So I am not opposed to learning from people.

If they shared more than 2%, you'd think they are batshit crazy. We are in the Dark Ages still. The world at large isn't ready for these kinds of teachings. Look at Teal Swan for example. She needs security guards at her meet ups because people do death threats to her. Why? Because she talks about New-Agey stuff that pisses people's paradigms off.

Yeah, I see a lot of that in the pickup community. Because pickup doesn't address any deep inner deficiencies. It just masks the problem by getting you laid. It's like a Band-aid on a broken leg. I know guys who've been with 200-300 girls, but inside they are immature, insecure children. This all goes back to the point about success being a false metric of inner growth. People confuse success with development level so easily. And it's very easy to trick yourself into believing that your success = development. Because you want to believe it! Success is actually MUCH easier than development. Success in life merely requires excellent manipulation skills, which are not that hard to acquire in many cases. You can manipulate a child into trading you his ice cream cone for a rotten banana peel. But that won't grow you. In fact, it actually sets you back because the only reason you'd want to manipulate that child in the first place is because of some deep fear or insecurity you have which you don't want to face. It's very easy to run away from your inner issues by having sex with many hot girls, going to clubs every night, and getting absorbed in PUA theory & bro-culture. PUA is really not much different than radical Islamic fundamentalist groups: young immature wounded men acting cocky, learning to assert their power over others because they got nothing better to do. But hey, that's how some humans grow up.
