I can tell you one way they aren't similar. I don't think Netanyahu is going to be ordering Jews to gas camps in fact if he ordered any race to gas camps i would see your point of view. But he's not a sick monster. Yeah maybe he's aggressive but he's not looking to erase all gentiles. So please - shelve the Hitler comparisons.

Don't let him deter you from the facts that you stated. Hezbollah or should i say Hellzbollah, is responsible for the destruction of many cities and has massacred many. They deserve what Israel is giving them.

That is why Israel is doing this so im glad it is appreciated. Stay tuned for more.

Lol. So Israel finally does something and everyone wants to cry about it.

Ask yourself why is it wrong? One God or One Singular Conscious entity dreaming up this whole thing. Dreaming up self and other ..dreaming up everything. Why couldn't that be possible? Well..it turns out that not only is it possible but it IS reality. Very funny thing

Love it!

Isn't this subjective though? This is your take of reality. I hope you see the vicious strange loop - forcing one back to relativity. Even my comments now are not objective. It was true whomever said the only objectivity is subjectivity.

All that stuff to me shows either: 1. He's completely awake and just wants to deceive everyone in his dream to make more money for himself in his own dream. 2. He's not awake and caught up in the the whole idea of there being one objective reality with one objective outcome and this is how it is. In Truth if he really wanted to be honest he would tell his students that everything is subjective and everyone is God creating their own reality on the fly. This however, can be very damaging to his career and identity so he dare not go there.

The US had a lot of sympathy for Israel establishing a Jewish homeland in 1948. A lot of this was due to the holocaust. There was a religious and biblical connection that was made with Israel being able to return to their homeland. The concept of Israel as a democratic state aligned with American values. The Zionist movement in the US and the large population of Jews in the US. Jewish organizations lobbying which has been stated already. Israel was viewed as a possible ally against Russia post Cold War.

Wanna know the Truth? Yeah - your life experiences build up to that - but really only deep suffering is what is channeled into Truth or awakening. It is the discovery of what we call "no self" (in Buddhism) that ultimately leads to awakening. After that you can have a series of awakenings but, at least for me no self was the beginning of the event you are describing - concluding with total Oneness (otherwise known as Absolute Solipsism) watch out for that one.

I admire you friend.

Yeah but what if you once made millions, let's say developing a new innovative web site and product during the .com boom- but now you are bankrupt working at walmart because you lost everything. Would you suffer then? It's very different from working at Walmart when that's all you knew.

@Breakingthewall One thing i do want to add is that there may have been times where he witnessed or even performed miracles via mysticism but that is only a temporary state of Consciousness while he is still in finite form. So his behavior now doesn't mean he didnt walk on water and now turned it into some sort of twisted wealth building scheme to feed his work addiction.

Wisdom is attained through life experience not awakening. I hate to use the Mario metaphor but inside the video game Mario can still gain a lot of wisdom through his experiences in the game. But one day he breaks completely out of the game into a whole other reality. That changes his perspective on the game now. He knows it's just a game.

Yeah all that crap would be some type of God complex or like you said part of his addiction to work, wealth, and power. I don't disagree. If he truly had mystical insights into the nature of reality but then fell subject to the traps of being in the human mind and body ~ well then I'd say he's human.

Have you ever seen a dog throw itself off a bridge? Have you ever seen a cat slit it's wrists or call into the suicide hotline? ..well...the reason is they don't have the capacity to self reflect. Yes - they can feel sadness and even depression. But they aren't able to step outside themselves and become self aware that they are depressed. But yes I think it's relative to what your definition of suffering is. But I would say keep it simple. Pain is pain and suffering is suffering. Ask yourself why you are suffering? Maybe you can't prevent your hand from hurting if you stick it on a hot stove, but you might be able to prevent the suffering from it. If your definition of suffering is the screaming in anguish then yes you are correct that is a form of suffering if looked at in that context. But real suffering to me is when the human mind self reflects and inflicts mental torture on itself - thinking and creating a personal hell for itself because it doesn't have a perfect world of pleasure.

I would say make it a priority above all else..above investing - above building wealth - to be at the gym 4-5 days a week. But to muddy the waters further sometimes our job (survival needs) might not afford us the time to care for our physical (and mental) health. Is it fair that our health must suffer in exchange for putting food on the table? Someone like Sadhguru has no excuse to make time for fitness. But for many it's not so easy.

Mine too.

I think any guru still should put health and fitness first. I do. I'm 54 and i work through a lot of pain daily. It's rough but one has to stay active. I'm sure others have it a lot worse than me. I know you're a lot younger but it doesn't make the pain any better. At least you should recover quicker. Look guys - I'm sure Sadhguru is the real deal but at the end of the day he is still in a finite, human form and subject to this limitation. Awakened or no, one has a choice to nurture their body or let it go to hell. The latter ends in only more suffering than suffering through the aches and pains of strength training and cardio. So we have to weight the pros and cons. Of course sometimes we also can be subject to illness or addictions which could take us away from caring for our bodies and this could be the saddest part. So if you have your health and your mind, consider yourself blessed. And you don't need to be an enlightened guru - you just need to take a step back and appreciate what you have.

It's purely ego but knowing that - hell yeah why not? We are playing the ego game right? Or are we being righteous? Are we trying to act with wisdom and against the ego to further align with Truth and Love? If the latter going back doesn't matter. But if the former - well- fuck man game on.

Dude you ARE Leo. Just let it flow so you can awaken for Christ sake.

Well if they're governing the Middle East as well as you say they are then I give them an F. What about Lebanon. Israel is clearly operating on its own here.

Absurd.

That's precisely why I don't think Iran will intervene. However if Iran simply looks at history it can see the the US will ultimately remain passive until the final moment. It comes down to Iran being scared. And that's pretty much what Israel is taking advantage of right now..

No..it's just observation. Animals live purely in the moment. That's plain to see. Suffering is purely psychological. I think we agree there. Yet pain that lingers can turn into a sort of lamenting for a human where for an animal it is let go for what it is. Just pain.
