I don't really know what Sadhguru teaches since most of his advanced teachings are secret. His public teachings are pretty shallow and don't explain much about reality. Mostly what he teaches is a set of practices that you must dogmatically follow and never question or experiment with. To me this is antithetical to serious truth-seeking and there's zero guarantee you'll have any deep or accurate understanding of reality at the end of that path. There's no way to know where all that yoga will take you in the end. It's the wrong question, since he is imaginary. It's not a function of being pure, it's a function of the states of consciousness you access. You can be as pure as you want but if you don't access the right states you will simply not be conscious of what consciousness is capable of. Conversely, you can be impure but still access the right states and therefore understand God more deeply than a saint. Only a moderate level of purity is needed to access the highest states, not anything close to perfect purity. So focusing too much on purity is not a gaurantee either. You could just waste your life chasing that silly ideal.

All of Buddhism, its practices and its attainments, is a fantasy, a dream imagined in the mind of GOD. It is possible to awaken so deeply that you will realize how silly and imaginary Buddhism is, and enlightenment, and the insanely deep dogma behind it and all nondual teachings. No human teaching that I have ever encountered properly captures God-Realization. None of them. All of Buddhism is a dream and no Buddhist comprehends this, even though they think they do, they don't. It is yet another religion/cult invented by very ignorant humans.

The practical benefits of awakening are rather subtle, like giving you a higher perspective on life. You will have a higher perspective on all your human problems like money, sex, relationships, family, business, education, health, politics, etc. But awakening will not obviate the need to take specific action on all those fronts. It's kind of like getting a good university education. It doesn't really solve anything concrete, but it does give you a great foundation from which to approach all problems and projects, so it certainly pays practical dividends for the rest of your life. But it's not as direct as a university education solving your money problems or career problems.

Sure they exist. But they are totally different states of consciousness. There are so many totally different higher states of consciousness and awakening. The purest awakening has nothing negative or dysfunctional about it. You will not be regretting it or feeling negative. If you're feeling at all negative about awakening, rest assured that there exists something higher than whatever you got. Even within non-depresonalized/non-derealized awakening there are many different kinds, qualities, and degrees. And I'm not even sure depresonalization/derealization deserve to be called awakening. It's hard for me to say because I have never experienced those. Alls I know is there's nothing to be negative about. God is all upside.

Keep the discussion classy. Stop the personal sniping.

I am sick of myself.

Great film. The Robert Carlyle character is epic.

Sure. 8 years of anything gets old. You'd even get sick of Bernie Sanders in 8 years.

A key part of spiritual work is learning to accept certain things which cannot and should not be changed. Surrender, acceptance, and letting go are key tools for this issue.

Coding your own website these days is not a good idea unless you need something very unique and specific. There are tons of platforms available that make it easy to make sites with little coding knowledge. But if I was developing a serious custom site from scratch I would use HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript. This is a classic stack that's proven to work very well unless you need something enterprise-level.

With that kind kind of attitude, yeah, I am not surprised you don't have good relations with women. What woman would want to tolerate you? Only a self-hating one. Lol

Where is the fun in stopping psychosis?

It will not solve any practical problems. Dispose of that fantasy as soon as you can. If you have a specific, practical life problem, solve it directly, rather than hoping that spirituality will solve it for you somehow, some day, automagically.

All of my spiritual experience has lead me to conclude that Buddhism is bullshit. But you judge for yourself.

Welcome to life, where most people are dissatisfied with their looks and cannot change it. The notion that you ought to be satisfied with your looks is childish and overly-entitled. You have no such right. You should be thankful that you were not born a crippled bald midget ogre. When you really understand this, you will feel a lot better and get on with life.

I don't think DeSantis is seriously running for 2024. He is just building up name recognition for 2028. This is all just warm-up for him. If Biden manages to win 2024, DeSantis will have an excellent chance of winning 2028 as people will be sick of 8 years of Biden.

There is a big difference between proper and improper use of rationality. Rationality is a good thing when properly used. But it is badly abused in our culture and the academic and scientific communities.

1) Very few Buddhists or spiritual teachers are actually monks. 2) Being a monk is a very rare thing that is not suitable for 99% of humans. Which is why less than 1% of humans are monks. 3) Yes, monks have zero ambition. That's key to being a monk. You are basically deciding to throw your whole life away in order to attain meditative states. This is not necessarily a good thing. You have to want that.

My site is complex and required a lot of custom code. You don't need that for now. Wordpress is a great platform that I use for some of my backend. I used to be a web developer, so I have a lot of web coding experience that most people don't have.

What does programming have to do with your LP?

Sometimes it's hard to say, but I believe that it helped me a lot early on.

It kicks in within 3 minutes. At the 4 minute mark it feels like you are in a new reality, although the room still looks the same. The shift in consciousness is so dramatic that you start to feel sick and nauseous. It feels like you are no longer yourself but some kind of higher-dimensional being.

I will still be doing videos and courses.

Way too early for that. New That will remain a secret for quite a while. Thanks for offering but for now I'm just gonna work with one developer. Perhaps in the future, once I have a solid prototype ready. Not sure yet. I'm not quite ready to finish that book yet. I still need more spiritual experience. I don't want to write my ultimate book and then have to rewrite it a year after it comes out. My ultimate understanding of reality still needs to mature and solidify.

DMSA is clinically provem very effective. But if you misuse it, you will harm yourself. So follow the proper protocol I shared with you.
