wow that reminds me of osho so much I hope they can sort the wheat (genuinely good teachings) from the chaff (what made rajneeshes go bad)

I'm in like 40 girls's friend zones. I have a ton of female friends that I get along great with, say hi to and hang out with in classes. I asked one girl on a date recently and got awkwardly turned down. (she said to snap chat her but never answered the question). I'm kind of having a mid life crisis because I haven't had sex in a year and I'm a horny teenager. What I notice happening is that I'll meet an attractive girl through my female friends, talk with them and get along and then I'm their friend, I always fail to make a move, which I don't do because I don't wanna develop a reputation as someone who does that all the time in a small place like high school.

I do know some that are, I tend to be pretty picky though. I don't think picking up hobbies is the solution.

Those are the names of standardized tests which determine getting into college, scholarships too. I was going to just take a basic nootropic stack, as I don't want to risk taking modafinil a lot because I'm worried it would be unhealthy. Should I order modafinil for those tests? they are very important. Would modafinil help with doing questions in a short ammount of time, creative problem solving, & short term memory? Would this be kinda fucked up if it gives me an advantage?

I've just been doing self inquiry constantly every free moment and I feel stuck too, the more I do it the less I know what to do

I did it for the first time today, and I agree, I love it. makes the routine longer but it's worth it. maha mudra felt way clearer and slower(breathing). @BuddhaTree absolutely, KSR is good for techs but not much beyond. @herghly half open, when I did it I could barely see because they were pointed up, so not much need to close them.

It's so hard to not fall asleep!

great post.

@Mart Use kriya bow to build up to being able to do kriya supreme fire, santata gamana's secret power of kriya yoga has instructions also I'm no expert but be careful mixing wim hof with kriya, I wouldn't do it. @MM1988 comprehensive instriuctions, basic theory. You might get some results just doing basic practices. Gamana's books are likely gonna make no sense if you have no basic theory. Question time(just started reading gamana today): Stevens says only to do yoni mudra at night, gamana doesn't specify. Is Stevens full of shit on this one? bc I do kriya a half hour after waking up. Gamana says to sit cross legged, I can't(bad knees). Is it okay to do it in a chair straight back no backrest good posture.

how long are you guys able to do it for? I've done it about 15 times and still haven't gotten past 30 minutes. This morning I only got to 20 because I started feeling really nauseous.

when I drink coffee I shit 2 to 4 times over the next few hours and it hurts. Green tea is enough caffeine if I need it (most of the time I go decaf), so I drink that every morning instead since it doesn't fuck up my digestive system and is healthy.

I've done hella research and can't figure this one out either. I've just continued it because research has shown win hof is extremely helpful(which is basically shorter duration and with pauses where you don't breath.

man I haven't read this whole thread but I just gotta say you should be very careful.(and maybe not do it) Take into consideration that whatever you say will be open for interpretation and most people(almost all) will not hear close to what you're trying to say. Look at contemporary culture. Are you trying to teach turquoise to orange?, it won't work. I'm in highschool too (Junior), and I never talk about spirituality, except my friends know I meditate. I am very cautious that people would take it so wrongly, but it might just be some fears I have taking it out of proportion.

maybe lower doses? Why avoid it?

yes sometimes sometimes

literally same but 6 weeks.

i reccomend you start with the one at the top under meditation and yoga techs categorie on his list, get the 2nd edition.

Daniel Ingram raves about this technique in his book

@Shinyes when he uploaded his live enlightenment experience video and then had to explain it

I've done all the lessons before the omkar kriyas, and still can't hear the om sound or see the light, however it can take years for that to happen i think. My results are still tremendous so don't worry about that and move on. skip to kriya pranayama, no need to wait for the good stuff. nothing dangerous about doing a set f kp1

wasn't he going to have a course on creativity come out like 2 years ago? what happened to that. where do I learn about creativity

mastering the core teachings of the buddha addresses this properly, if you're in a crunch to know about it

check out the kriya yoga mega thread for his daily routine he has recently given very high reviews of how powerful kriya yoga is, so I think it's safe to assume things are going well.

thanks. read over info from the Stevens book and yea he said it takes years before you're ready for omkar and above. Stevens routines are weird, his suggested nightly routine is just maha mudra, short breath kriya, and yoni mudra. no pranayama but ig all those are like it just checked the book list and found that secret power of kriya yoga is by Gamana lmao didn't realize that. Ordering that and others by him
