More than seeking God is they are running from their own minds. Heroin doesn't reveal you God more than coffee or a cigarette does.

How that would look in normal life? For example can you be in that state while in public going on the subway etc?

I see what you are going, you are talking about Bliss states of consciousness Bliss is a state where a lot of barriers are open and dissolved but there is a still a self to operate and function. This is the highest state before enlightment

Don't be so weak and little confident. If people are able to kick 20 year addiction of smack I'm sure you can kick porn and bad food.

That's why Adan and Eve fell from paradise, because they ate the fruit of knowledge (intellect/knowing)

I'm not saying there isn't a self as a motto like the advaita guys. I'm saying there is the possibility of being a self and the possibility of not being a self. Both possibilities are there. It depends how the state of Reality is whether there will be a self or it won't. Maintaining the state of having no self is rare because there is a tendency to avoid dying. From the self point of view I prefer the first one

Seems you guys are just arguing "reality is this way" and the other is saying "no, is this other way". The classic vibrational scale is very accurate, depending on how you vibrate, that´s how Reality is. Reality is not exactly one way or the other, but how you (a part of Reality which is also the whole) can vibrate/be. How you Be depends on many things, what you eat, your thought process, state of the body system...etc. This is why Yogic sciences approaches spirituality from lots of angles just not stilling your mind, there is understanding that a lot of factors come into play and all must be taken care of if one wants to explore and live in the Peak of their possibilities.

Yes, "God" is always still and silent. It speaks the language of eternal sleep and silence. It never moves.

Isn´t self the limitation? No-self is the unlimitation, self is the limitation. If you don´t like the word "self" you could call it structure, the karmic glue or just bubble of personal experience. The problem and I think that´s why you don't like it like that is that there are a lot of people that are saying that there Is not a self or an "I" in their experience but they are limited. This is not because enlightment isn't what it is, is because they are lying and deceiving themselves, they are enlightened conceptually, which is nothing more than an ideology.

God is not 😜

To solipsisim to be real you have to be real first. And you are not, there is no world, you, or others. There is only empty Bliss.

Answering that would be the realm of philosophy, not spirituality. Is like asking "why snowflakes are they way they are?" Who cares? I'm sure there is a mathematical explanation why we see mandalas And patters when we get high and not dog shits or cows. The problem is not that things appear, the problem is that there is a feeling there are You + Things. Therefore "things" become a problem to be solved, answered or "sorted out". There is a self in your experience, remove that and that´s enlightment.

Maybe Consciousness is literally Nothing or Emptiness itself. So it doesn´t need "Something" to project itself to. Is simply pure emptiness. If Consciousness were a thing there would the need of Consciousness (1) + Object/Form (2) But if Consciousness is Nothing (0) there isn´t a need for two things. One thing is Enough. Is not even One thing, is Zero Thing.

Yeap 👏👏👏 Am I the only one who thinks that sad as fuck? Getting entangle with someone for survival. Like sure, it can be useful but don´t call it "Love", so basically Sadhguru is right in that: "most relationships are a conspiracy between two people, a transaction". I see it like this: The forms are consciousness literally. There are not two. For example, hasn´t happened to you that you are in a very concentrated state after meditation (or whatever) and you perceive a sound, in such a way that sound seems like is not a sound, but is literally consciousness. So basically the form (visual instead of hearing) could also be just consciousness. There isn´t really a form, there is just consciousness, and consciousness is able to form itself into a form. For example a Sofa would just be consciousness morfing itself as a Sofa. Or a engine car sound would be just consciousness morfing itself as an engine car sound (consciousness in a certain level of vibrancy) @Breakingthewall Sometimes I think he is a liar but for example this video seems pretty "perfect" so to speak:

LOL, I laughed my ass off with those phrases. Yeah you are right, I have to drop the identity and just not get into this games. @Schizophonia Makes sense. I'll start to behave in overlord ways 😂💪

Because it becomes like a family lol. I've tried to leave several times but they always pull me back

What you mean with that?

As far as I'm concerned Tantra sex is about Love, but almost nobody does it.

What? Yes, the full glass has water in it.

Definitely. "I" is the biggest illusion. Nightmares at night is a consequence of the brain. Nothingness is already the case. Mind creates the illusion that there is something.

I'm sorry I did a similar post a year ago but I really want to make this work...This is what I want to do: I want to live in my village in the mountains and just do yoga and listen to music and create videos and media 24/7, I basically want to create a "vortex" of energy in my home, so what I will offer to the world will be unique and special, I will not listen to podcasts, read books or what videos, just 24/7 focusing on consciousness and from that place creating something unique. The problem is money, no one wants to pay for consciousness, my house is not a mansion and I don´t have a fancy car or beautiful wife so people won´t see my lifestyle attractive in order to pay a subscription. Maybe if I just spent 8-9 months there doing this I would create something fantastic I don´t know...because when I spend just 1-2 days there is like I'm on a psychedelic 24/7...so there are possibilities there + with specific diet and consciousness habits I'd get into high energy states...but I'm still pessimistic that the content would be attractive...because again you see what sells on instagram/YouTube and is not consciousness, is money, material success, and etc. Probably I'll just have to go back to rat race, self-develop in society and one day hopefully I will be able to make this work. Any advice or motivation is appreciated brothers, really truly this feels like my dream and vision. Thank you.

The reason why when thoughts appear I seem to disappear into the thought (therefore creation of suffering), is because fundamentally Thought tells me what I am. The problem is I am not using thoughts or mind as a tool like a mechanic uses a screwdriver, 99% of the time I am using the thoughts/mind as a way to invent myself into existence. As a way to tell me who I am. Only when there is absolute clarity that thoughts/mind can never define me or tell me what I am, then the mind won´t be a problem. There will be distance and clarity on what I am and what is Mine/Just a Tool (the mind).

Light (the so called world) exists, is just that is empty. The illusion exists. It shines, it palpitates with life, it moves. But the core is nothing. I see that as the ultimate blessing of what we are. That the dance of Shakti (femenine), as crazy or chaotic it can become, Shiva (masculine) will always be the still empty core that grounds it. "Life is a dream, but the dream is real". -SG

Yeap, they feel better but divine thoughts are still thoughts. Is just that is better to have a joyful thought than a depressing one. But is still mind, is like identifying with the thought "I am God", or "I am infinite". Sure, is much better to say that than "Life is utter shit I should kill myself", but both thoughts are still not you or represent you. With the depressing thought is easy to see this because the next morning you can go exercising and feel better and not anymore feel bad therefore see how untruthful and unstable that thought was. But with divine thoughts is more difficult to see it, ideological religions work with divine thoughts and people take decades to come out of that delusion.
