I often hear spiritual leaders that when you have very light karma , then only you can attain self realisation, but how to actually burn through karma? Most people (including me) are just creating more karma , and I suppose even meditation and self inquiry and concentration , they are karma too . So , how does burn his past karma ?

@Recursoinominado hmmm ..... thank you

@Leo Gura can you concentrate your mind on something for 60 minutes straight? If so, then I think that your ability to manifest a thought would be considerably greater than most of humans?

i think actualized.org used to be in orange and is now changing to turquoise. What are your thoughts?

Leo told in one of his videos when he went for 30 day retreat to pursue awakening and healing , he said that psychedelics are necessary.but I don’t understand if it is necessary then why are there yogis who awaken and do miraculous things just by yoga and meditation ? But on the other side there are their disciples, who do this work for more years than them , but they still do not attain , but I don’t think even if they took psychedelics, they would awaken. I say this because there are lot of babas in India who keep doing weed and ganja , but they are looked down upon(I know it’s only a Stereotype , but I think It has some truth to it.) And they are know for stealing from people in the name of god ? Why are psychedelics necessary, could It be that Leo just did not do the yoga and meditation well enough(I’m of course no one to judge , but it is just a thought , no offence to Leo, I have huge respect for him ) . What is your perspective ?Could it be that psychedelics just work for him. P.S :- I am open minded about psychedelics and their possibilities, nothing against them .

@Leo Gura Thanks , this gave me a deep insight to why psychedelics are necessary. But are practices like meditation , yoga necessary with psychedelics and give extra benefits(cause I do a lot of them and lately during the concentration practice I stopped feeling the sensations of body and it felt like I was moving out from my body( is it safe?)) @nistake i am doing meditation consistently for a year , now I have started the concentration practice from 2 months

Thanks for the advice ???, I am doing all that already , and i am open to taking psychedelics ( of course not now)

So in a certain sense you are saying if we make our nuerochemistry in a such a way with psychedelics, we can jump as high as the kangaroo (symbolically of course ? ) , and I get what you are saying, but then why are there sadhus who do psychedelics but still can’t reach the Ultimate truth? Now those sadhus don’t do 5 meo , but that would suggest that 5 meo is a special type of psychedelics (a magic pill )

But why is that Arnold could bench press 700 lbs after training for a certain period of time , but some people even assisted cannot reach the state which he reached ? Is it because lack of their desire ? Or is their body their body just not fit for that stuff like Arnold’s was ? why are yogis not like us ? Why are we not as special as them?

@Aaron p that may be a possibility, spiritual growth may be different for different people because of their past karma . But if each one of us is god (just unconscious of it) then why are we bound by chains of karma? Of course 5 meo is great and I am not denying its possibilities, but could there be something That there is something better than that which we have not discovered yet , has somebody experimented with something different from meditation,yoga,psychedelics which is even better than 5 meo ?(I ask this because I am 17 and cannot take 5meo ? (just kidding , I am curious ))

@Jacobsrw of course I get that , but I am asking , some people like disciples of enlightened men , they still don’t awaken after 40 years in caves, why is that?

@Nak Khid Thanks for the Advice!

Today , I was watching a Sadhguru video about meditation . in that he said that nobody can do meditation , but one can become meditative . then , he talks about becoming meditative and he said that only by the guru's grace one can become meditative . he then continues and says those initiated by him are so meditative that they change the very nature of inanimate things around them . But what if i dont have a guru , can't i become meditative ? how can i become meditative if i dont have a guru ? will these practices of meditation like do nothing , mindfulness meditation yield nothing?

@Nak Khid sadhguru meditation you are suggesting is Isha kriya, well that video and Shambhavi mudra are online because they are part of inner engineering, they both solely are not that beneficial for me , I have already tried them . But I will surely watch the next video that you have shared.

@LfcCharlie4 Thanks for the Wonderful Advice!!! @SamueLSD lol @Lenny Thanks for the advice !! and especially this gave me perspective....

@Nak Khid well i cant find the video again , but isha official site has given a short transcipt here(its not exactly the same):- https://isha.sadhguru.org/in/en/sadhguru/mission/nobody-can-do-meditation in the video he says that when a person is initiated in a particular technique , the guru transmits and 'implants'and basically prints the technique on the persons energy body , making him meditative . But if the other person tries to the same technique , he might do it perfectly , but he wont get the same results as the one who is initiated (has guru's grace). this is basically the reason that shambhavi mahamudra is transmitted personally and not online .

@nistake of course it is very hard to be in the present moment . That is why I was in doubt about being "meditative" as i thought that i was not meditative as being in the present was hard for me.

@dimitri haha thanks for the advice

@dimitri well of course 5-MeO is the magic pill , but i am only 17 . i know that one should not fully trust sadhguru or Leo , but sadhguru makes a convincing case . I have been meditating consistently for a year , but sill the effects have not fully blossomed , that is the reason i am having self doubts.

i have been thinking that if self love = devotion to god (as we are god )

@Serotoninluv agreed

are there any limits to human consciousness? if yes , then what are they ?

@Galyna try to watch travel documentaries , there you will learn a lot of new words and try to put those words into daily practice

@Chumbimba you can get a decent job by going to college ... but they dont teach well enough . you can do self study+bootcamps + GSOC + hackathons if you want to achieve mastery

yes..
