@SuperfluoThis is nothing but fantasy, but imagine the emptiness it is, you want to be material and self-aware. part of zero. it creates space, time, combinable matter, something we call "life." that life continues to recombine, increasing its complexity in an improvised but very deliberate way. from the animal, after some billions of years (nothing important for infinity) it passes to the semi-animal, which is out of place. begins to recombine into a new type of non-physical evolution: purple-red stage, etc. Your engine is suffering. for infinite emptiness, suffering is the same as anything else. It is what you have perceived to work. and here we are you and I trying to open our mind to infinity. The ego is the mind of the animal, wonderful tool for survival, but now, when the survival is done, it's time to transcend it.

what works best imo is a combination of daily meditation and doing 5meo dmt , low doses every 10 days or like that and sometimes total breakthrough. everything you have in mind about enlightenment is not. It is about emptying yourself and dissolve the i (very difficult without chemical help for me, for now). To get to this only by meditating, millions of people have always tried to do it, and almost no one achieves anything more than going around in circles. 5meo is essential. Learn about non duality helps to free the mind too

And what about the girls with whom he had sex taking advantage of the fact that they had idolized him? nice attitude, very noble??

because the ego is a survival program. food=good, hunger=bad, be leader of the tribe is good, get kicked out of the cave in winter is really bad. These are basic examples, but from the base it develops in millions of subtleties that the coexistence in such a complex society of the human being creates, until forming an independent entity, with an apparent life of its own

Absolutely. The old woman maybe was the forestluvs guardian angel

The next realization should be that you are not thinking of your friend. if you take the perspective that your friend does not exist, nothing exists, and you are not thinking about anything. It is the void creating patterns. the issue is not to think this, it is to perceive it

The best for humanity is that politicians say that they want, spiritual master wants you to wake up. i have listened to shadguru many times and I always see that he treats you like a child. waking up is not for you, for you there are certain practices to live better. true awakening is for higher beings, like him, who remembers his reincarnations in which he had a guru, and that is why in this life he has awakened without a guru, and the superpowers..... do you believe it? It's your decision.

shadguru is not addressing people interested in yoga or meditation, but rather expresses what it should be like for the general population. He is the messenger of common sense, and everyone listens to him because he is enlightened. It seems very good to me, but this is not a spiritual teacher, he is a politician with ideas of how society should be, who tries to influence the mundane. he is a confucius more than a lao tzu. but he says that he is an enlightened man as humanity has not known ... and I do not believe it. I listen to him and I don't listen to the truth, I listen to opportunism, intelligence, preparation, staging, oratory ... politics. on this specific issue of homosexuality, according to no publicity. but in bolliwood they don't stop making movies where they show heterosexual relationships. Shouldn't they also do them in which homosexual relationship is shown? or should they be private?

the ego feels horror in the border of the void. Nothing to do, no place to go, no improvements to achieve... immutability, the opposite of ego. it is impossible to enter it with your ego intact. 5 meo in low doses is a perfect tool to put you on the edge of absolute emptiness. your ego will scream. in this link they explain well this matter of the void https://paulbrunton.org/notebooks/23/8

The only bad entities are in your mind. understand them, accept them, and then transcend them. don't waste your money on superstition

look at the difference. leo: he is a spiritual master right? their job is to help you to awake. tells the truth. It is the truth.he has the serious willing to do not deviate from the truth, it's obvious. He doesn't care what you're going to think he cares about the truth. shadguru: he wants you to feel good, when he gives his opinion, he does it carefully, he does not want to offend anyone. He treat you as a kid, with condescension. He knows that in India the homosexual issue is delicate. it is perceived that he has advisers and that he takes an intermediate position. He is the leader and visible head of a huge organization that operates in the material world, has power, influence. drop stories of supernatural powers to be deified. He has a concrete, very defined plan in the material world. it is not truth. it's politics. another dimension. Maybe I'm totally wrong but looks so obvious...

It seems that he does not understand that if homosexuality has been demonized for hundreds of years, it is not enough to eliminate the law that punishes it. He does not stop repeating: what do you care that others know what you do in your private life? you don't have to go showing off either. looks like my grandmother when one of my cousins claimed that he was gay! a supposedly wise guy does not understand that a significant percentage of the population has been harshly repressed, humiliated, blamed, condemned to lies and concealment, to shame and madness. is this guy an enlightened sage? he talks like a right-wing gym bro in a tavern. very little human quality. I already know for sure: fake

Well, it is quite obvious that in countries where homosexuality has traditionally been stigmatized, condemned and even imprisoned, it is necessary to give a voice to the homosexual community. not "promoting" homosexuality as the backward shadguru says. no one becomes homosexual for promotion. Shadguru can be calm, his subjects will continue to be just as virile despite the fact that homosexuality is visible

because you have to offer your life to God. it is not enough to have a deep realization. You have to live with the certainty that everything that has happened to you in life is what had to happen, and that everything that will happen, the same. you have to let go of control and embrace life and death. This is not achieved with psychedelics, it is an act of love and surrender that must be renewed every moment. In other words, you have to trascend your ego

it is completely obvious that he is a politician. has it helped people? of course. I am not saying that he is a bad politician. the best politician in the world if you want. Enlightened master? Could be , but i feel the smelt of the fake in every word

it's another ego disguise, like being rich, or handsome. you can say: I love unconditionally. I give myself to others and to the world, I plunge into death with the joy of surrender. that is beautiful. say: I know the truth, I am a wise man, I have had mystical experiences and I know that I am God .... Only concept , nothing. As moksha said, surrender to don't know is the only thing that we could know

imagine that a smart guy wants to become a star. You can set up a music group, or perhaps, if you are an Indian and you know that enlightened people are idolized in your country, choose this route. It is not difficult to learn in depth the theory of spirituality, surround yourself with advisers for costumes, appointments, practices, erc. they can be authentic practices and wise quotes. With money you have the best creatives, plus you are smart and creative too!. a beard, a turban, gestures of grim condescension ... and the world is yours!

collective suicide of all humanity = absolute good

I've been close to where you are. A hell. you're smart, you know what's wrong with you, but it's impossible to get out. if it is not one thing it is another. For me the most beneficial thing was something very material and very simple. go away. pack my suitcase, and somewhere else, disappear, not talk to my family or friends in years. Never see a movie, never read novels, never smoke weed. . in short, flee from mental masturbation as if it were the devil. go to the real thing . the change of place, or continent if possible, does a kind of alchemy that helps you get out of the loop. I know this is a simplistic and prosaic advice but it has worked for me. the other option, to continue in the same line, is very dangerous. you have to act, mental changes are not enough (imo), you have to take charge and fight for your life as if it were a fight to the death (it is)

@RedLine mmm logic says otherwise. the suffering of living beings in general is a tool for survival and evolution. if you burn you move away. the human has another type of suffering, the mental one. more ego, more suffering, less ego, more happiness. It seems like yet another evolutionary tool to guide the monkey along the path it must follow. The problem is that the monkey is often so stupid that even though it is burning, it goes further towards the bonfire, but on other occasions it looks for a way out and finds it.

the child thinks that things should have been differently. that life has been unfair to him, he feels an imbalance, he feels anger and hatred. it is wrong. things are as they are. how should they be? as they are. the child (me, you, anyone) must put aside child tantrums, and accept reality as an adult. Not so easy. In some ways, it's enlightenment

@SM-OConnor ego reaction. feels threatened and affirms its existence. He does not care if it is with fear or sadness, the important thing is to exist. who feels lonely ?God obviously not. It is the ego thinking that if it is alone in the middle of nothingness, what an unbearable loneliness ... for an ego. The first time I experienced that loneliness, the ego's reaction was the same: there could be nothing worse. infinity is eternal life imprisonment in immobile solitude. The Hell. it's how the ego interprets glory. significant

the ego is you, the person, the i. the separate individual who becomes aware of himself and distinguishes between himself and what he is not. We usually call ego to the social ego, the concept we have of ourselves, our place in the group. but it has more layers. the last is the being that has to survive. without ego there is no separate you, you are the reality. there is no difference between life and death

Hard to think about it because pure consciousness does not have attributes, but pure consciousness is also this, with all possible attributes, which are really nothing more than an idea. There is no why or how, there is only this, which seems something but is nothing ... let's enjoy the party

@Danioover9000 Thanks for the answer. You are right, each person is different. I ve been having trouble sleeping for approx 3 years and they have disappeared since I started doing 5meo. There were blockages that generated anxiety and 5meo has helped to release them. even so I see the danger it can have if you use it for something else: if you are unhappy as a human and want to completely transcend the human with 5meo. I believe this can create a serious energy imbalance that can lead to disturbances. I am not sure about this but it is my impression. I think 5meo is a huge help but you have to do the work, not a substance
