But agree, I was just doing devil advocate. 99% they are shit , and without his position nobody would want sex with them 😅

If you do that, you are a cheater and a fake, and of course you are manipulating. But it's that the case?

The concept here is "manipulate". Implies that sex is a kind of predation where you get sex with the women manipulating them. I see it different, like, I'm giving them energy and life, pleasure and divine connection, same than they to me

Yeah, seems a narcissistic quite toxic

No one of those gurus, like mooji, adyashanti, Ralston, Spira, ram dass, Krishnamurti, Osho, etc.etc were done with the human thing. Maybe andamayi ma was a saint, the other were men with mystical opening in some extent . They had a big influence, very positive, but they were humans. Imagine that someone says that Ramakrishna used to have homosexual sex with some of his disciples. Would you say that's bad? Or ram Dass with his guru. Is that impossible? Why sex is dirty, or wrong? Sex could be, and should be very spiritual and true

Agree, As far as I know, Mooji doesn't preach chastity, and if living close those things happen, what? Another thing is that he is the leader of a sect with levels of power, where people are forced into submission, etc., but I don't think that is the case. If girls appear saying, that guy is toxic, I was in a state of submission, I come from a broken family and he took advantage, then yes, but if they are whole and free people, everything is perfect

I was thinking in jiddu Krishnamurti, quite fake imo, like mostly of the auto proclaimed enlightened

That's the interesting question. I would say that it is the total absence of obstacles in the mind. Enlightenment does not imply knowledge or ability, although it may facilitate it. It is the free mind, which flows without bouncing back on itself. The human mind is almost always, or always, built on a foundation of fear. self-preservation and fear of rejection. We are individuals who want to remain individuals, and the possibility of being destroyed terrifies us. This is a genetic preservation mechanism, without it the species would not have prospered. We are also social beings, part of a hive, and we need to be accepted to survive and reproduce, another instinct genetically encoded by fire. On these bases a complicated mental tapestry is built with many ramifications. The mind identifies in adolescence with the social matrix and goes deeper and deeper with that identification. It is a natural mechanism that makes humanity work as a single being and be able to do things like send ships to Mars. an extremely sophisticated and effective, definitive evolutionary mechanism. The mind takes on a life of its own and separates itself from matter, evolving at ultra-fast speed. We are servants of the mind, supports that give our processing power to the matrix, slaves. It is a trapped life, moved by unconscious stimuli, where every act and every gesture, from the decision to have a son to the slightest thought, are given by social/genetic programming, since both merge. In this panorama, the individual who suffers, in most cases opts for evasion, and in a few, for liberation, and in few manages to understand his chains and break them, and be free ,then the understanding can start.

Could be, I suppose that very serious enlightenment seekers would go to India, they would look for the guru who vibrated at their energy level and if the circumstances were the appropriate, it would happen. But how many gurus are? It's very rare thing. At the end you have to be your own guru, and change your energetic and karmic pattern by actions, meditation and psychedelics. But who knows, maybe in any moment a guru appears. I see it very difficult, if there were gurus in every neighborhood, sure, but that's not the case. Maybe there are 1,2, maybe zero, in all the world

How can a guru cause a change within you? doing what? He can't get into your mind, only you can do it. He could suggest do yoga or meditation, or explain to you some concepts, but what else?

It seems that there is a constant energy that keeps closed. a vibration of the psyche that encompasses the entire pattern of existence that we are. We are like trapped in a bubble, with our energy bouncing off its walls, without being able to perceive beyond. with psychedelics sometimes the walls of the bubble dissolve, and perception becomes limitless. Then you realize that there are many things that blocks, Specifically, the one who blocks is you, but you exist as a stable energetic pattern. it is very difficult to see yourself, to understand your mechanisms. The depth of fear is not easily perceived, it is hidden, beneath the surface. Fear is the great wall, and although it is hidden, it manifests itself in many ways.

Enlightenment is attain something, to remove the veil. It's like a energetic change , something that you do, and action. I don't know in what extent it's possible to do that. . You are what you are, as you said, but the depth of the perception can vary enormously.

In my experience it happens as the guy in the video says, if you open yourself completely to what reality is, you become consumed, you stop being human, it is incompatible. Being human implies limitation. You cannot be human and unlimited at the same time, you can glimpse, but what you glimpse is a fire that would destroy you if you opened yourself to it completely. Having a specific experience implies limiting yourself to having that experience and not infinite experience. With meditation or psychedelics you can partially open your perception, but it is perceived as something radioactive, which burns you inside. It's not just mental understanding, it's opening a breach in the fabric of reality and allowing infinity to shine through. It is another dimension of being totally, something unthinkable. then, after a moment you return to normal perception, and it is unsatisfactory, veiled, but for a while the infinity is transparent in some extent. Then start for fades , and in a couple of days it's totally faded

Here for example. But that's all? Well, it depends, in my experience, enlightenment is the perception of the reality itself as absolute, immutable. The pure light that is everything, the absolute depth that exists, but it was an experience that I'm not having now, then I doubt. If something like that happened 3 weeks ago, it fades, it doesn't mean nothing to me now.

Honestly, I ve read not a lot of spirituality. It's something that I have in mind constantly but I can't read about it, it absolutely bores me. It seems to me that all the authors I have read are either wrong or do not express themselves clearly. I have read a little by Jurgen Ziewe and it seems interesting, he says that he can visit other dimensions of existence in a real and absolutely clear way. something practical, concrete, without trying to be mysterious. He explains enlightenment quite good imo

Perception without barriers. I still perceive barriers in me and in all of them when I have read them, just superficial perception, but who knows.

Why it's sure that Ramana maharshi was enlightened? Or Ramakrishna, adyashanti, Krishnamurti, etc? Those people were spiritual, they like meditation and yoga, and in their opinion, they were enlightened. What they mean? That they could empty their minds and perceive themselves as pure existence? It's not a big deal at all. Then all of them talked about reincarnation, end of the well, etc , that seems a kind of dogma, and we believe them because they follow a line of though typical in asia, kinda of Buddhism. Maybe they were just scratching the surface,. copying the ideas of others. Many could meditate all day and be happy, what means that? When I was a kid I was very happy playing with a stick for hours, o watching the insects. That doesn't mean nothing . That mean that they can remove the human desire, be calm, equanimity. Good, more happiness, but are they really dissolve the barriers that limits them?

There is not an agreement about what is enlightenment, how deep can it goes. Everybody who do spiritual practices for a while thinks that are enlightened. It's very easy reaching the point that Ralston and those gurus say, remove the identification, then the real being remains. You meditate a while, the mind is empty, and that's it, but it's limited.

Yes, everything is interconnected . The most strange thing is realizing that everything is infinite. No beginning, no end. A particle of sand is the entire cosmos, and me, as a human , the same. Inside and outside are the same. Then the mind stops easily because it realize that it can't encompass the reality, just be open to it. The mind stops elaborating and starts perceiving

That's the cycles. Every time I take a 5meo or LSD trip, what I see is this: the substance of reality, the being, is limitless and structureless, but creates itself in cyclical structures of birth and death that build upon one another infinitely. That is, you as a human are a structure composed of infinite other structures. Each one of them is the infinite being, and in turn is composed of infinite structures. and you as a human are a part of another structure that in turn is part of another structure, to infinity. It never ends. It is impossible to encompass it, or even intuit it. and all those infinite cycles are geared perfectly, coordinated. Infinite intelligence cannot be understood, it is more than a human mind can intuit. The point is that you, as a cyclic structure, are in an infinite evolutionary process parallel to other infinite cyclic structures, like a beehive, or a perfect infinite fractal, and if all that structure is erased, since it is only form, you remain: the unfathomable being, pure existence, where you and me are one. But same time, we are infinite parts that born and die infinitely. Then, be careful, every breath has a infinite butterfly effect. consequences, karma. Do you want to rise, or sink? Maybe you don't care if you are a schizophrenic in a Soviet hospital, or a multidimensional entity in perfect harmony, but reality tends to rise, better take that path imo

Infinity does not mean that everything will happen, since if everything happened, it would end, which would make it finite. infinity is not understandable, since if it were it would be finite

There is a type of tinnitus related to cervical hernias, which are often asymptomatic. It seems that it improves a lot by wearing a neck brace for a few hours a day. I have quite strong tinnitus, a high-pitched ringing. After years of boxing I had 2 cervical hernias, a ruptured eardrum and 3 fractures of the nasal septum (pretty stupid I think at this moment, but what to do? Was addictive) I would say that it is like 30 or 40 bd at some times. Another cause of tinnitus is bruxism, which increases the maxillofacial muscles and tension in the area. If you want to know if the origin of your tinnitus is cervical, lift your head with your hands forcefully to stretch your neck, at different angles. If you notice a reduction in sound, you will know the cause, or one of the causes. In my case the solution is to assume it as a sound that is there and not pay attention to it. On some occasions, on psychedelic trips, it has been really annoying, the reality become tinnitus.

Better than pills is sodium ascorbate powder, cheaper. It seems that it has been shown that taking more than one amount is useless, since the concentration in the blood has a limit. I take more or less 2 grams a day. Linus Pauli was an advocate of taking megadoses every day, he did so until he was 90 years old. I would say that this has a detrimental effect: everything that is not absorbed is excreted through the urine, which makes the pH of the urine acidic. This can hinder the excretion of uric acid, causing blood levels to rise and this is problematic. You can partially compensate by taking 1 or 2 grams of sodium bicarbonate and the same amount of potassium and magnesium citrate. If you do sports, this will contribute to making your body's pH more basic, avoiding lactic acidosis and in general creating healthier and less carcinogenic conditions

I think that You cannot think of infinity like this, since "you" are the result of an apparent duality, perception and perceiver, subject/object, that is occurring in this specific experience, therefore you will only experience this specific experience, and when die, you will disappear. What remains is absolute infinity, which is impersonal and nothing happens to it since it is immutable.

Could be, but cosmos is moving. Seems that infinity can't stop, The fact of being infinite creates a permanent instability that translates into cosmic cycles, and if you do not align yourself with the movement, you are crushed. I am not saying that it is like that since it is impossible to say it with certainty, but it is what I intuit and I act according to my intuition dictates, like everyone else.
