But still I can't experience their pain, can I?

That's a nice way to do it. They will ask you back due to curiosity to tell them the truth, then you can reveal it and the damage will be minimised.

The same goes with expanding your ego. The more you expand it, the more you identify other's suffering as your own. That reduces your own suffering.

You can try expanding your ego the natural way by practicing compassion, gratitude, forgiveness and love in everyday life and doing 5 minutes of meditation everyday. Also, try practicing mindfulness.

That's why the experience is structured to happen only when there is very less egoism.

Not equally real, because there are too many inconsistencies inside a dream and other people exist as long as you are inside the dream, so it doesn't matter when you are asleep but it definitely opens the possibility of the world being a dream, without proving or disproving it. Also, it is dangerous to assume others are not real without waking up.

You are being a monster! The realization at the end could also be a belief and not exactly an eternal truth.

But it can hurt others.

It doesn't matter but as long as you can see people outside of your experience functioning independent or atleast slightly independent of your thoughts or actions, you can infer that other people do exist.

That helps in making your own life better and not doing it makes your friends' lives miserable. If you are following the rule, but they don't, the rule is not necessary to be followed. There is no mistake in pointing it out, but if they don't change or feel offended, and you are annoyed because of that, there is no need to point it out. If they don't change because of your opinion, they are not valuing it, they just want someone to support their biases, so that they can feel good about themselves. You don't have to appease them, you can simply say I am not sure or I don't know what's right. Tell them that. They wouldn't want to hear such things either. Being compassionate with your friends and yourself might help. Be compassionate for your friends' inability to be honest because of their ego and not because of their own will. Be compassionate with yourself, because you don't have to live the truth and get rid of ego, realising it itself makes wonders to your ego.

May I know how you came to this conclusion? @Ninja_pig

Just don't forget to post once you have understood it completely or how much ever you can.

It's natural that ancestors try to teach their children. Actually, everyone can be considered black in darkness. It's just a matter of perception. And darkness in not bad! It's just not ideal for human survival.

Do you suggest any books or videos to atleast try to understand time?

Here's what I think as a better way to understand ego: Imagine your ego is a highly concentrated juice syrup in a bowl full of water. If you don't dissolve in the water, you think you are the sweetest and the most important thing in the whole world. You can remain as such, but if you experience its taste, it tastes so so sweet, that you can't consume it all. So, you dissolve a bit in the water. The more you dissolve, the less sweet it becomes, but the concentration becomes a juice and more drinkable and tastier as well with the correct sugar levels. One time, you decide I am going to dissolve completely in the water and see what happens. That time, you lose the taste, but become a part everything, that is the water. You realise your true nature, which is water, and it feels awesome because you have become a part of something so large. But, still you have lost your sweetness, and decide that you wish to come back to being sweet again. Whether you return to become a juice of whatever concentration you wish or become more concentrated than you already were, is upto your actions.

Whatever suffering it is, when you can share with someone who can identify with it, the suffering becomes lesser. The more you cry, the lesser the suffering.

Suffering is necessary for survival too! If you can't feel pain is affecting your everyday life, you wouldn't take any action to stop it and simply die!

Placebo effect can't magically cure any disease with mind even if you are enlightened or whatever it is. They are useful to boost natural healing process or reduce the effect of auto immune disorders. If that's what you think is Enlightenment, the power to do anything you wish, you may be on a dangerous path. It's having power over your own self rather than on others or your body. Some people surrender their ego so much that they don't care about cancer or even death.

Can Sadhguru be considered black?

As soon as I saw the word black, my mind tried to jump to something negative. The bias seen in history for words such as 'black' or 'dark' still exists in our minds knowingly or unknowingly through culture and language. Also, death being associated with the colour black doesn't help the cause.

We can't take China's population into account, because they can be biased because of national pride. That reduces 1.4 billion from the total. Indians or India too don't like China. So add another 1.4 billion. So, it's more like 2.5/6.5. Also, the YouTube population consists mostly of Indians, Americans and Europeans.

Are there any good not-so-scientific books about time? That would be an interesting topic to read.

Relax, it's off-topic and just for fun!

But human or animals or aliens are not the only self there is.
