It depends of the level of blockage that that person has. Almost nobody has zero blockage, but everyone has some openess, and some people are very open, even they know zero about spirituality. In fact spiritual people use to be more blocked than average, that's why they get into spirituality, because they feel very blocked, and they tend to project their blockage and think that humans are shit, etc. Go to Africa and see a young mother with her kid to make an example. Reality is open by default, everything that exists is open, power, love. A tree, a fish, the gravity, the life, and of course the humans. The most difficult thing is seeing love in war, but life is built upon war, it's something necessary for the creation, that's why if you want to be truly open you need to be a warrior, because war closes you, and you need to face it directly, without evasion. Paradoxical

Nobody knows absolutely nothing about the reasons for anything, what is obvious is that reality exists and flows, then as more open you are and more love flows from you, better. Otherwise you are closed, blocked. If you really realize what reality is, you will see that everything is love in different forms. Love is just the name that we give to the feeling that exists when nothing blocks you, then the existence is love. Hate is not the opposite of love, is just a blockage due fear, aka karma.

Then any mother who loves her son is a wasted life? Or any real friends? love of art, your work, your community, yourself? Thinking that only transcendent spirituality is correct and everyone else is deceived and stupid is very shortsighted. humanity is moved by a real vital impulse.

I don't see silly or game human life if you give your love to others.

I know many people who are very happy with their ego, they think they are very lucky and see the positive side of life, and if you talk to them about spirituality they would think that you are mentally retarded and a looser. they talk about politics, women and other people, they sleep well at night, they love their girlfriend, their parents, their friends, they travel, they like their work and they have fun. I also know people who are completely obsessive compulsive and suffer 24/7. what is the difference? I suppose psychology says that the first are healthy, the latter are sick. I think that being one of those who suffer can lead to more depth, but the most normal thing is that it leads to chronic depression. The difference is how smart you are and how strong is life in you that pulls for breaking that shit that traps you. For me it's much better being one of who suffer, because who is happy is because their positive circumstances, they depends of a very thin floor under their feet, they live In deception. The thing is going through the suffering, not being lucky as a kid

So if they break your bones with a hammer, is it a game? or if you rape your 3 year old son and then you reincarnate in hell. looks like a fun game

There is no death of the ego but restructuring of the ego to make it transparent. We call ego the conscious psychological structure of space-time and our body, our place in society, our options for survival and reproduction. This is real and if it dies, for example in cases of advanced Alzheimer's, you do not achieve any special realization, only become mentally retarded.

the issue of dimensions...there seem to be infinite dimensions of a single reality, but all of them are circumstantial. Let's say that they are different clothes with which reality dresses. The moment you realize that what is circumstantial clothing and what is reality now bottomless, you realize that you and I as bottomless reality are exactly the same, but not the same in another dimension, but in this dimension, and at the same time two different forms that overlap creating a mirage of form. I don't know to what extent you can see this clearly because is not linear , it doesn't fit exactly with the mechanics of the human mind, but you can see it out of the corner of your eye. In the moment that you try to define it logically you loose it because: where are the others forms now? Why I can't see them? The thing is that who ask this is the form, then, for the form the others forms are separated In short, the hard and subtle work of detaching yourself from the form. The form will always be there, but we have to get rid of it and perceive it as clothing, not as essence, then we can understand what is reality.

At first it seems like a very strange idea that something exists, and that you exist, but if you contemplate it it is obvious. There are no limits, so the depth of reality, which is this exact moment, is total. Being total, reality inevitably arises, and reality is exactly you, this is the point that must be seen. The first time you realize this may be horrible because you see yourself as a prisoner in eternity, and alone, but the fact that the depth total changes this perception completely, you are not a prisoner because nothing limits you, and you are not alone because you are not defined, limited. You could say that existence is an instant that does not pass in time, since it has no limits, it does not go from one point to another point, but it is now. Its hypothetical limits would be nothing, but nothing is nothing, therefore those hypothetical limits do not exist, you cannot reach them or come from them, so here and now, you always are. The challenge is not to understand this, but to perceive it, to perceive yourself.

When they say that reality is empty, or is nothing, they mean that it is imaginary, or mental, but I think that does not make sense, since even imaginary is something, imaginary is the same as real. you can say that forms are impermanent, but they exist as forms, therefore they are something. a thought is something, even an empty mind is something. There is always something: existence, therefore, nothing does not exist, it never existed nor will it exist, not even as a concept, it is the opposite of the absolute, it is the anti absolute.

nothingness does not exist, because it would be limited to nothing. If there are no limits, at a given moment, there is something, and then something else, and in the end there is everything

I don't know, but what is sure is that I still have karma. Anyway, I have had much deeper experiences with microdosing than vaping 25 mg of 5meo. I think that experiences with psychedelics have a component of deception, since they are very forced, there is a lot of resistance broken by a substance that continues to resist by changing its form, subtly. If you microdose and meditate for two hours, the opening is natural. The drug helps, it softens, but it doesn't break like a bomb. Anyway, I have never done high doses of LSD, like 600 ug. I want to try that anyday

Before I always had incredible insight with psychedelics, mushrooms, 5meos, LSD, each time it was a new vision, but now what happens is simply a kind of void in which reality flows. I can vape 50mg of DMT, which is the same as 5meo, or LSD, empty and fluid, nothing more, no insight, no hallucination, nothing"divine". The only thing that works for me is taking microdoses of LSD and one or two puffs of weed and meditating long time. The meditation is deeper, and on many occasions, the opening is total, the absolute right behind this experience. Anyway, doing DMT or 5meo, even it's not mystical anymore, seems that makes the barriers bit softer, but other times it only brings a kind of tense vibration, then I'm doing less and less. Maybe the way is stopping it and in some months try again, but really I like the feeling of the psychedelic, not to get understanding or opening, just to make my psyche softer, not so rigid

I think it's for ever. It is a loud sound, for example if I am listening to music with the headphones at high volume, it can be heard clearly. I've gotten used to it, it's the sound of life 😅

What is a mind? Just a movement of reality. Reality always is, then you could call it as you want, the only difference is the state. If you prefer call it no mind instead than silent mind, ok, but the only difference is the movement, the karma. It's extremely difficult to remove the movement, you could do it for 2 minutes, but then it starts again because there are a lot of triggers, for example, that your son get sick. Then, being absolutely enlightened, out of the karma, is a extremely difficult thing, when life and death are the same for you. All the human genetics is yelling to you to move, to suffer. Some of us has a special karma, use to be like obsessive movement of suffering, then you realize that you are in a trap and you try to be free of it, and sometimes you achieve it, then you are again in, you have to be quite smart to really understand deeply what is the trap, how human mind works, then little by little you get openings, pure unlimited present, the heaven. Then you realize that you already are in the heaven but you are creating the hell, and that this is karma, you can't stop doing it at will, but you can realize it, then little by little you achieve more open moments when you realize what you are, the openess, the totality. First a couple of seconds, then more, then some while every day, etc. So it's a state at the end.

A silent mind is still a mind, and a infinite you is still a you. Enlightenment is the liberation of the movement, the opening to the absolute now, and this is a mental state. You could be in enlightened state, and 10 min later lost in the mind. In fact it's how it works.

Enlightenment is a word that describes a mental state.

Enlightenment is the end of karma, it is being here and now absolutely, without the movement that the mind creates. Psychedelics make this possible to be glimpsed by changing the structure of the mind in subtle ways, but never the totally enlightened, it always has a component of deception, even so, if you are smart they can make you understand what you are, how you are causing the movements, what are the triggers in you that inevitably trigger it. It is very difficult to get out of the wheel of karma, at least in most cases. but if you understand the mechanism, you can go out for short periods. then it catches you again

Nice tale, seems that make happy some people, same than all the other religions. People needs logical tales to be grounded and happy , but it doesn't mean that they are true

If that were the case, and you reached a state of total consciousness, you could fly, make planets disappear, create other universes, etc. and it seems that no one can even move a candle flame with their mind

As I see it now, the ego, the separation, is the way that reality has to go deeper into itself. The deeper the division, the deeper reality dive in itself. Pain, suffering, sadness, are really tools of opening that reality creates to dive deeper and thus be able to create more complete, complex, refined, sublime forms. It is something like cell division, reality is divided into two, but they are the same, it creates a kind of psychosis that is the seed of new forms. the necessary pain of childbirth, from which perfection springs.

I think sadhguru simply says that the ego dissolves and enlightenment is achieved, where the individual disappears and reality remains. existence continues, but without the self/other duality, which is the illusion that is created by karma. once this occurs, the following cycles of existence are non-dual, without the contraction of the self. It would be said that consciousness evolves in infinite parallels with different contents. An inevitable quality of infinity is that everything is infinite, that is, this experience is complete infinity, but there are infinitely many parallel experiences in all directions and they all evolve infinitely. In this human dimension we all share the illusion of duality and little by little some are forced to abandon it. All this seems to be a movement of the infinite to create a more conscious experience of itself, for which it must be divided to become aware of its division, and from there it can become aware of its unity. Without the previous division, existence is unconscious of itself in this deep level, it needs division and suffering to gain depth and then dissolve the division to continue evolving infinitely, without the unpleasant illusory duality necessary at this stage. After this, there will be countless and unimaginable processes dictated by infinite intelligence to which consciousness will submit to follow its infinite movement.

The structure of reality is so amazing that seems impossible. A proton is an entity of unimaginable complexity, incredibly stable, but also cyclical. The intelligence of reality only has one limit: perfection

It's not a transcendentalist trap, It is realizing what you are without getting lost in the form. The form absorbs you, obviously it exists and is something, it can be a human, an alien, a cockroach or whatever, but beyond the form is the absolute, your true self, eternal, immutable. You can realize it, its face is behind everything, you can open your eyes and see it, see yourself. This does not mean that you understand absolutely anything, nor why things happen, the forms, what will happen when this form disappears.... but you can see your true face and open your heart to it, to you. there are no several aspects, the aspects are form, and obviously are many, but the absolute is formless, always the same, its light always present

You can try to force yourself a little, 3, 4 day intensive meditation retreats without a phone in the nature for example, then return to the city, and your tendency will become clearer with time
