Leo why did you stop practicing Kriya Yoga?
Leo why did you stop practicing Kriya Yoga?Several reasons which are quite personal to me:
1) Health problems made it very difficult to do it consistently.
2) It just pales in comparison to psychedelics.
3) It doesn't suit my type of mind and philosophical interests.

Sadhguru saying "Drugs will lead to America's Downfall"
Sadhguru saying "Drugs will lead to America's Downfall"Have you met average people who don't do psychedelics? Most of them are complete dipshits.
70 million Americans voted to reelect Trump.
Yeah, dipshits are our situation. Don't blame that on psychedelics.

Sadhguru saying "Drugs will lead to America's Downfall"
Sadhguru saying "Drugs will lead to America's Downfall"Firstly, on a strictly practical level, the war on drugs has been an abysmal racist failure. Countries which decriminalize drugs, even the worst drugs like meth and heroin, end up doing better, having less death, violence, and addiction. This has been scientifically measured.
Secondly, very very very few people will ever be able to develop the intoxication factory that Sadhguru is talking about. Less than 1% of the population will do it. Less than 1% of the population will awaken. For the other 99%, psychedelics are now scientifically proven to provide many benefits such a reducing depression, PTSD, social anxiety, fear of death, addiction recovery, anger reduction, healing childhood trauma, etc. This very important stuff strictly from a medical, social, and political perspective.
Thirdly, psychedelics open the doorway to mystical experience. Most people don't even believe mysticism is real. So they will never discover it through Sadhguru's methods. Psychedelics offer a way to access what Sadhguru is teaching in a more direct, scientific way.
Fourthly, you will never naturally reach the level of consciousness possible via psychedelics using Sadhguru's methods. Never.
Fifthly, of course coke and meth should be distinguished from psychedelics. To talk about these in the same conversation is absurd. We should treat coke and meth differently in that we should help people get off them and onto psychedelics instead. But total decriminalization is the way to go for all drugs. We have tried 50 years of prohibition and it's failed spectacularly.
Sixthly, once you get your hands on the right psychedelics, you will never need to listen to Sadhguru or any guru again. Psychedelics are a far better guru than a human could ever be. The only reason human gurus exist is because the psychedelic guru has been criminalized and demonized. Psychedelics serve an important function in deconstructing the spiritual and religion cults which inevitably arise around gurus. Once Sadhguru is dead, his organization will turn into just another cult religion. And his followers will become devils. Psychedelics are an antidote to that.
Sadhguru sounds wise here, but he's actually being dumb, impractical, and misleading his followers.

Why women share emotions instead of solve?
Why women share emotions instead of solve?A man needs to achieve a material result. A woman wants to relate to others instead.
Because men and women have different responsibilities. A woman usually doesn't have a gun to her head to deliver a material result, but a man does. So for a man sharing feelings is irrelevant. When you are on a battlefield your feelings do not matter.

If the USA is too stuck on stage Orange, then why don't you leave the country, Leo?
If the USA is too stuck on stage Orange, then why don't you leave the country, Leo?@Hardkill As I've told you, you gotta put all this stuff into perspective.
Be careful getting too wrapped up in political battles. That too becomes self-deception when not properly contextualized.
You're gonna have political loses. That's just how society is. You don't win every campaign and things don't go your way half the time. Your worldview needs to account for that.
Society develops at a certain rate that you cannot dictate. Just as kids do stupid things. It's like being a parent of immature kids. You can't force maturity on them. And then this becomes a test of your own maturity. How will you behave when others around you act like children or lose their minds? That's the real test.
Things are just getting real.

If the USA is too stuck on stage Orange, then why don't you leave the country, Leo?How far you wish to transcend all that is really up to you.
You have to decide what you want out of life and how you want to live. No one can tell you. If you want to be wrapped up in political battles that's your choice.

It seems like our collective lack of development has a genetic component, but why?
It seems like our collective lack of development has a genetic component, but why?I remember Leo shared on his blog an autistic teenager who is currently teaching quantum physics in university. This is proof nature is more than capable of creating a human brain and mind that is orders of magnitude better at understanding and learning, even before finishing puberty. We have seen similarly gifted individuals when it comes to spirituality and self actualization, Peter Ralston for example.
But my question is why does nature seemingly limit our spiritual and psychological capacities? Why is Ralston and this teenager the exception and not the rule? And why doesn’t society acknowledge this as even being a problem? America spends more money on alcohol than genetic research every year, this alone highlights our idiocy.

It seems like our collective lack of development has a genetic component, but why?It's exactly the opposite.
These paths are accessible to almost nobody. A gold-plated Rolls Royce is more accessible to people than higher stages of development.

I love how she understands!!!
I love how she understands!!!That is the bottom line, after all the stories and excuses.
Development is what drives everything. Even the so-called corrupt elites are just products of their society and culture. A neoliberal culture breeds people like Trump, Musk, Theil, Zuckerberg, Tate, lobbists, crypto grifters, and Wall Street wolves.

Christian Democracy - healthy Blue/Green conservative alternative to corrupt TrumpismAmerican Christians are as dumb as humans get and they will act accordingly by supporting the dumbest president of all time.
There is no healthy conservatism in America. It's corrupt and sick.

Hey Leo, I am curious
Hey Leo, I am curious1) Depression is such a psychological thing, so no surprise. Depression is not comparable to a health disorder.
2) I don't buy these claims that psychedelics cure depression. I think these reports are from people who are self-deceived. They will fall back into their depression.
You should assume that most reports of any kind of healing are self-deception.

Affirmative action: US Supreme Court overturns race-based college admissions
Affirmative action: US Supreme Court overturns race-based college admissionsAffirmative action: US Supreme Court overturns race-based college admissions
No more race based admission in college. These affirmative action policies always disgusted me. Right from removal of gifted programs for kids to race(or caste based here in India), affirmative action policies are kind of secretly racist.
If this does not sound racist to you I do not know what will.
Affirmative action policies are discriminatory to students who work hard and excel. They prioritize kids who belong to 40 percentile over meritorious students from 90 percentile. Several Asian students who reported near perfect scores in SAT were left depressed because their scores were not enough for them to make into Ivy leagues.
Affirmative action is never a stage yellow policy to overcome the oppression of the past. It is a knee jerk green reactionary policy (including the removal of gifted programs). The problem with admitting with students with weak scores is that they cannot keep up with the rigid curriculum ,so they tend to drop out or underperform since they are surrounded by over achieving counterparts. This is weird and humiliating in many levels. It is humiliating and depressing for the kids who get admitted into elite schools and for those who could not get into elite schools despite having meritorious scores.
What could be a stage yellow level policy that could replace affirmative action?
Thoughts.

Women are more social because their survival requires it.

Why does practically no one care about Physics^Spiritualtiy?
Why does practically no one care about Physics^Spiritualtiy?Literally Thomas Campbell.
There are wackos, but you will not know about them because what you know is what is popular and mainstream.
But yeah, it is rare because you are asking for someone to master two totally different and even adversarial domains.
It's like you're asking why there are no hippie vegans working in a butchershop, or woke pacificst progressives working in the Navy Seals.
Mastering quantum physics requires 10 years of academic PhD training. And by the time you have invested that much time and money, speaking about God will just get you blacklisted as an unscientific crackpot who no one in academia should ever read, hire, fund, or work with. It would be career suicide. And that 10 years of training will brainwash you so deeply with materialism that you will never understand God.
And it's not like a new theory of quantum physics would be accessible to you or any laymen. So you would find it unsatisying too.

Are girls the lonelier sex?Women need to be more social because their survival requires it.
Women are oriented towards people. Men are oriented towards things and abstractions. So of course a woman will feel more lonely if she is unable to be social. But in practice she will be more social than men and not feel lonely because her entire life already revolves around other people while a man's does not.
