  1. Yesterday Sadhguru had a Mahasatsang in Delhi, I was present there, towards the end of the questionnaire, a meditator asked about psychedelics and ayahuasca retreats. Sadhguru made 3 basic points as far as I can remember (when comes to naming he just named LSD, I believe its very well possible he isn't aware of 5-Meo's existence) 1. The high is always on and off, what you seek by psychedelics is just the high and you try the justify it in the same way any alcoholic would, "see I'm always high, no chemicals". He was very much against chemicals in every way and said that its all physical no matter what. What we're talking of is transcending it. 2. He said there will be consequences of this, he didn't mention what though. 3. And lastly he said if you think you're going to get Liberated by psychedelics, Best of Luck. So yeah, thought I should share this. Edit : He also said another thing and he says this many times that if you use chemicals the next generation is going to be 'lesser' than you, which is a crime against humanity. Now I don't how what exactly he means but probably he's referring to some kind of genetic changes I believe.
  2. Overall, I really can't tell for which way it is for me*, cause there are many other factors at play. But definitely post the Kriya, when you finish with the practise, it's gone.
  3. I see this coming out a lot, there are individualities to be broken beyond the body and mind. That's the whole point of attaining liberation,Moksha, so that you don't have to do this again and again. Else if you were to just die and that's it, then it wouldn't have been a problem, lets just happily wait for death but that's not so. Sadhguru is a sorta a trusted source here so if you were to just go by what he says about himself and his life and lives, then you would know what's this is about. Dhyanalinga was all about this, Sadhguru had to take birth 2 times for him to complete its consecration. See this video, sadhguru talks about this very often and so does Advaita. About Dhayanalinga.
  4. Everything set up as said. Started, after about 5-7 minutes I started having a lot of tingling in my hands, by 10 minutes I had severe pain and tension in both my arms(particularly in wrist and palm) . But I continued till like 20 min when I could no longer bear the pain. It took 10 minutes for the pain to fade and about an hour for me to return to normal motion, my hands were trembling a lot. Same thing happened today. Is there something I can try? Also I've been reading about hyperventilation and how it stops blood flow to brain, is there anything to worry about?
  5. Indeed, he really is beyond, the subtle things he says, subtle statements which we can just take for common good old wisdom at first have such profound meanings. Yes I intend to really go deep into Karma, but for now I have limited my theoretical intake, it's just been too much. Thanks for the insights.
  6. Yes, very well put. Also the thing is in all of Spirituality, as in a traditional sense the only goal is Moksha, Liberation, and the way sadhguru explains about Karma, it looks like its way more than just your mind, and I believe there are levels of individuality beyond your body and mind, as the 5 Koshas that Sadhguru explains, and to transcend them you need to do the stuff, the necessary Sadhana. Nonetheless we don't know what exactly is Sadhguru's perspective in its totality on this matter, all we can do is maybe have both and see for ourselves.
  7. Ahh, that's good to think of. If only just being was that easy. Yes, I've come to the same. I think now the best I can do of fasten my pace and involve myself more to make up for what's gone. Thanks
  8. OK time wasted is time gone, no problem nothing can be done now, more you'll think about that wastage more you'll waste and so on and so on. But when I make good choices, when start working on, in very subtle ways and very subtle decisions do so, everything is fine. Then this Immense wave of regret kicks in for me, that things are working good now and maybe the decisions I made now could've been made a month, 6 months, an year ago. Its really, simply depressing and no matter what logic and explanations I impose on myself I just can't stop this. What should I do?
  9. Now this is just a intellectual conclusion from my side from all the stuff I've come across till date. As God is infinitely loving, infinitely good, infinitely ecstatic. Maybe, we like these qualities over their "negative" counter parts, because that's our nature, love is our true nature, its what we are, when we experience these emotions to their fullest, maybe we are experiencing our true self, we're resonating with it, that's why we value them over the negative stuff. Now that's just something I've come up with, after questioning the same thing.
  10. Let's see. I'm on the path.
  11. What exactly does Sadhguru wants us to Do to realise ourselves, does he want us to do self-enquiry, does he want me to just continue my kriya and wait, what exactly should we do according to him to get the answers? Now. I'm realising even after watching hundreds of his videos I still don't know what to do according to him, there's just no How, absolutely nothing, maybe just a hint or 2 doing self-enquiry and kriyas, NOTHING ELSE, NOTHING and since I've been initiated into a kriya by him it becomes important to know what does he want me to do. So what have you been able to make out of his talks, what should I do?
  12. I believe for the same reasons that all physicists, mathematicians don't. And one more thing I would like to say is that please never think that scientists want to know the truth, they just like what they are doing, if someone wants to become a physicist, it doesn't mean he is seeking existential answers of life, he just loves the subject as it is.
  13. And what if I die before that? And what exactly is being Spiritually gifted?
  14. Nope, I did IE in a center near me. I was being truly true and serious, maybe, yes, I was serious, right? ?
  15. Already did it, what's next? How long have you been doing it? In what ways more conscious? What about mind chatter? I don't want moksha, I just want understanding, knowledge of the world. Even in this video Sadhguru doesn't tell a bit of how, just continue my practises and suddenly one day I'll realise I'm God, wow, firstly millions of people around the globe have done IE, I don't know how many of them realised. Other than that I'm pretty sure if I go at this pace I'll surely become a devil because being a God seems unreachable. Exactly. It looks as if I'm being tricked into serving the world for fucking no reason. I would love being loving and compassionate, but forcing myself in that I don't see why I would do that or pretend to do that.
  16. I agree, if someone isn't following someone other than Sadhguru in consciousness work, Sadhguru says a lot less but he definitely says what is needed. He has said several times that why he does that it because it isn't anyhow useful in you true growth, you'll just end up imagining stuff. But if you're following other stuff then what he says becomes even more profound from what I've found. JK is a true intellectual GOD. Sadhguru recently talked about JK where he said after his short encounter with his material how it changed him and how when his daughter's schooling time came she was sent to a JK school, but he said that people who can make true growth from intellectual teaching of JK are very rare, like fewer than a few thousand in entire world and they probably won't be interested in spirituality in presence of science.
  17. I can feel you, like really really closely. Sure, will check it out.
  18. I do have a lot of concentration issues, a lot in fact. But when it comes to learning and memory I don't think I fall behind anyhow, definitely I believe that I'm not able to perform as good as I can due to my compulsions, both physical and mental. So yeah, for me concentration issues are a thing. Do you do something to deal with compulsions, or any other things that come with OCD. I was diagnosed and put on Escitalopram, but I put it off after a month as I had no benefit from it, further I learnt that extended usage of SSRI's isn't good for brain, as I'm only 15 I don't have any plan do be on meds for the rest of my life, so discontinued them, so any personal tips would be appreciated(maybe PM me) . Thanks.
  19. It's like, I'm still at the bottom. I still don't feel like I've made any growth in what we call the basic meditation or controlling / observing your thoughts, I'm still completely bothered by them. I have watched hundreds of videos on the topic, now I'm doing my Shambhavi Mahamudra kriya, but I still just can't deal with them, it's always on, and I believe 90% of my confusion originate from this chatter, but at the same time I value this thought process of mine, all of my ideas ,understanding I believe stem from these very thoughts, what should I do, just what to do, how to just be an observer to these thoughts as they say?
  20. Thanks a lot, I can relate and will try in my kriya. I don't know why but it feels like it'll help. ☺ K, I'll try that more throughout day, better than having unwanted thought. Okay, I'll try to do so, but it's hard not to label them, it just happens automatically I guess it'll take some time, cause I would say till now I haven't continued it over a period of time.
  21. I'll check that out. I've learnt it's futile cause it freakin doesn't work, for me personally, it makes me go crazy.
  22. In Bhava Spandana, how can Sadhguru initiate about 2 thousand people into a non-dual experience at once, Shambhavi initiations are one thing but this is just... Is this common?
