Of course you might have to do some of these ones to get to a point to realize it...but once you do realize it, all tools will be seen as completely imaginary and unnecessary. I realised that... if I don't think, everything that I wanted is right here. If I just do not touch the mind phenomena (thinking, projecting, imagining), and stay Consciousness, ALL IS SOLVED. If you are able to close your eyes and truly truly let go of ALL ideas and intellectual attachments, THAT´S IT. The dream is GONE. All language concepts must be let go, surrendered and seen as mere thoughts, and as phenomena that is different to Experience. This includes: ' I am Alive'. 'I am going to die' 'There is something as reality' 'I am existing somewhere' 'I need to Awaken' 'I am a human existing somewhere' 'Others are existing somewhere else' 'I exist' 'There is time' 'There is something'. 'I am in a certain place on reality, and I can move to other places'. And the list goes on... as you can expect, the mind can create ideas for ever. If you just turn your back to absolutely all ideas, then that's it. You won. You are kidding yourself if you think you can understand the dream, ironically that is MORE dreaming. The way you keep yourself entangled in the dream is by thinking you can understand it or going 'profound' into ti. That is more Maya.

I'm not saying they are not stunning, I'm saying are you actually attracted to them. On another hand, IME, much of the sex quality is actually focusing on the girls pleasure and arousal, not yours. So when you say "but fingering does nothing for my arousal'! I think you are lacking an important point, and is that if you care about growing as a man, you should not care about your arousal or pleasure in sex so much.

You probably are not that aroused/attracted for the girl.

But that is not understanding the dream. That is understating things that exist within the dream @Someone here

Any afrobeats/amapiano fans on the forum? According to Hawkins, the third chakra (Power) is usually blocked by shame. This music is very effective at releasing those knots. I remember 2 years ago discovering this type of music while I was tripping on psylocibin and acid for a few days on a retreat in the mountains. MY life changed for ever after discovering this energies. Particularly listening to 'High' while in the peak of acid while watching the hair of the horses moving by the breeze of the cold air of the mountains...my fucking god. That is being ALIVE. Once you get into tune to opening up/receiving this vibrations, your life will become of another level of intensity. An intensity that frees you from the knots of the ego. Not everybody can appreciate this music. If your energy system is damaged you probably won't resonate with it. Try to listen it to it while sitting on the soil of a mountain and with your hands upwards.

I suggest you to soak it in water at least 6 hours. The last picture don't seem eatable. You will hurt your stomach in the long run eating it like that

I quit eating oatmeal, too much side effects. Is not worth it, get your calories somewhere else

Those men are a generation that probably smoked a lot and also had bad eating habits (not talking about butter but just normalised junk food habits that now are seeing very bad such as McDonalds, processed foods, etc). You can't just compare the lifestyle of today's generation with the generation of people of the seventies and eighties.

Ok, I´lll try. Honestly I already do something similar I usually make myself an omelette of 5-6 eggs at once with around 40-50gr of butter. I´m only missing the onion lol So now saturated fats are bad again ? @Michael569

So lately in the forum the 'bliss' word have been coming up a lot...there seems to be people against it and people saying is the only thing to seek in the path. Here's what I found: Bliss is not just a normal state of consciousness. Bliss feels 'bliss' (or very good), because when the Bliss is being experienced, there is non-localisation of Consciousness. And what happens when there is not a feeling of existing inside anything? That you exist everywhere = Unity. So the 'state of consciousness' of Bliss is not just a dumb empty feeling that feels so good just because of nothing. It feels so good precisely because Unity is being experienced. So when some of you guys say... Ask yourself this question: Are you actually with that understanding or 100 Awakenings reached, experiencing Unity right now? Here's the thing: That dumb Bliss... actually provides Unity 100% of times! It never fails. Is direct. What about the profound data and understanding you have gathered? How many times when you hold those thoughts in your mind, Unity is being experienced? Just some interesting questions I think some of you guys would benefit from... Would love your input on this @Water by the River

It´s not the only game in town, sure. But in my experience is the only game worth mastering. What is the goal of the other game? Where does the understanding or being 'conscious' ends? @Leo Gura It doesn't make sense to me that you say that the end of suffering or bliss, doesn't mean you are Conscious. We are talking about states of Being, right? About Consciousness being on a certain level of activation, of entanglement vs of Liberation. When you say 'one is deeply Conscious', we already then are talking about an individual holding information or data in their mind about something. I get this might be useful for any kind of material mastery, but what this have to do with Spirituality?

Normal sitting meditation is not effective/potent enough as Leo have said (at least it it won't be for most people IME), because it lacks an intensity/concentration/energetic raising aspect, that other spiritual tools such as Yoga or Kriyas can deliver. I agree with Leo in the topic about being in modern society makes almost impossible to 'abide' in an absolute state of consciousness. As much as I endorse and praise the practices I´ve learned this last year, I 98% suspect that it won't be until I go to a retreat/ashram that things will start to become really interesting. I wouldn't call it a waste of time but yeah, most people habit of meditation does seem like a weak spiritual tool. You have to take in mind that just because you close your eyes and sit does NOT MEAN you are meditating. For meditation to happen a certain activation of your energies/consciousness must be there, while at the same time the body completely relaxed. This is why at least in the Yoga tools I´ve learned, meditation is only left at the end, intended to happen as a result of the previous practices that have been done to raise/pump up energy system. At that point when you close your eyes and hold a mudra, bum, is instantaneous. And once the energy system starts to go down you should get up the cushion and continue the day, don't keep pushing it because from that moment it will be a 'waste of time' as you have said. If there is no intensity there will be no awareness, just peaceful resting. (Peaceful resting is nice, but you can achieve that with a massage, no need to meditate lol )

Simple stuff for summer . Simple shirt from Uniqlo, really nice affordable organic cotton. Pants from Calvin Klein. Super comfy and a great colour for summer. The sandals are from bickenbergs The gold chain I got it from craaft uk Really recommend it I've gotten lots of compliments from it

@Water by the River You forget that in this forum a lot of people are too cool for this selfish normie motivation of avoiding suffering/going towards freedom. They already said they don't mind suffering, they are so above of us normies just wanting to be blissed out with our mind totally empty. God! How we dare...choosing as the high goal to be just a simple peace of life as long as everything within is completely 'set up' and at ease. We would sell our brains with all the data and information for just the Empty Bliss. Such a traition to God. How simple we are...how spiritually inferior developed we are for having such selfish simple priority....

The genetic freak started doing yoga with 12 years old from a guru of his town What was I doing with 12 years old? I don't know about you but I was just starting frying my brains out with videogames, porn, and next years drinking and smoking as any of my peers on school. See, there is no question that some people by luck get born in certain ambience that makes them favourable for spiritual purposes, but also, if one does not do the right things, you can't neither expect to get the results. I am not saying that Sahdguru was not born in a privileged ambience, but saying that it is a genetic freak assumes he has something in their brain that you do not have. This is deeply hurtful and damaging for anyone that wants to do anything of value in this work. And the word doesn't even make sense. The skill that influences your state of consciousness or Awakening doesn't have anything to do with genes lmao We getting to a preposterous level of creating and projecting differences on our minds, we starting to attribute memory (genes) to consciousness? Really?

Of what work?

This seems a lot like bro science. But I won't ruin your party, if it's works for ya

Is not about forcing yourself because of morality. Is about if your baseline level of consciousness and energy is in a certain way, the desire and craving of sex is just not really there. @Leo Gura seems to me that What you are talking about is that classical forced renunciation of sex like happens in Christianity or in Buddhist as you say (or in any person that goes to an ashram for that matter). Of course I agree in that sense... probably a good chunk of those people are horny as fuck (although I believe reducing habitual stimuli has to influence in being less horny)

Last week I went to grab some beers with a friend and he likes to buy a pack of smokes when he drinks (he never smokes except in those occasions). I joined him and smoke some too (I quit smoking habit some years ago already). Last week I had some stress spikes due to some unexpected situations and I had the 'great' idea of dealing with that by buying a pack. My god what a devilish shitty drug this shit is. A high that lasts seconds (literally while you are inhaling and exhaling the smoke, nothing else) and makes you actually anxious (nicotine is an stimulant). But at the same time it fasts puts you with mental chains by creating that devilish thought mechanism of 'now you have smoke after dinner, remember', 'now you have to smoke after the coffee, rememeber', 'now you have to smoke first thing in the morning, remember'. If the devil could be a drug it would be tobacco. My god. At least other drugs that might be considered hard or addictive, at least they don't give you this treatment. At least the high does not lasts seconds (minutes if you find 'appealing' the numbing and the same time anxious high that a cigarette lefts you with). This shit should be illegal. Of course I threw the pack with +10 cigarettes left out of the disgust it left me. Absolutely terrible drug.

The whole point of God to create suffering/bliss is so you are constantly inclined to Bliss/Liberation ,imo, is crazy that some of you guys want to 'reject' or 'deny' this rules, by saying there is no difference between bliss and suffering. Of course there is! The difference is imaginary? Of course. But everything is imaginary. The fact that a hammer falling in your hand is imaginary, and a blowjob is imaginary, doesn't prevent that God creates for itself that one thing will be preferable to other thing. Now...if the goal is actually to feel as Blissful as when the hammer is hitting on your finger in the same way as getting the blowjob, then kudos to you, that is next level mastery. But notice that that goal is itself again God wanting to feel good. That craving/inclination is totally inherent to the game, is the foundation of the rules. Is how the dream has coherence. Absolutely any movement of any being in reality is subconsciously aimed to move towards becoming free of the bounds/liberation/dissolution/...etc. Nothing more egotistical than the ego thinking he is above the rules and he doesn't care about bliss/salvation.

I don't recommend it. It will just make it worse ime. But you can try it for a few times , everyone is different

like Leo said, reduce your intelligence/become dumb as fuck when you out socialising , it works wonders ? Tells you a lot about this society btw

Is the ego's nature unfortunately. I´m tired of saying: the mind will always keep you in circles, even if this are refined, profound circles, just elegant entanglement, of understanding and profoundness, one of the sneakiest traps to escape, we all at one point pass through that one.

@Hello from Russia It depends on where you set the bar. If one is talking about blissfulness, mastering the mind-energies, etc...and one is still dominated by the chasing-dopamine-serotonine high of sex like most of us are, then for me that means you are an absolute fake. If something is characterised by this high states of consciounesss, is that they feel way better than sex and thoughts of desire. Much better. So clearly if you a guru knows how to stay or be in those energies/states, their mind/system will not have any motive to fall into the sex game. Let's not normalise it as if is something that can exist while you are supposedly in high states of being. Because if you are having sexual desire it means you already not in that state of being, you have fallen out of it. I mean... @Leo Gura I truly expect sadhguru is not going around fucking hookers under the hood, cause then I´m really would be disappointed ??

What the heck is orange spirituality?
