@Leo Gura That is a possibility which is why Sadhguru for example makes you go thourgh a very long and blithering process before you get intitated into Shambavi Mahamudra. It's to weed out the people that aren't serious and ready to learn the Kriya. This is also the same reason why he and a lot of other spiritual gurus are against psychadelics. He knows that they can be vary dangerous and destabilizing and that especially if it's combined with an energy transmission process and or an intense yogic practice. Sadhguru is so anal about this that you're not even allowed to eat for 5 hours before the intiation and need an even larger gap of 8 hours if you have consumed alcohol or any other drugs. The same goes for when you do the Kriya on your own. Bottom line, yes it is dangerous but that's because intiations are powerful.. Just like psychedelics. What has a possibility to transform your life can also destroy it - it all boils down to how you use it and if you're ready and capable of making use of the tool as it shall be used.

Never said a Guru would. What I was argumenting for was that initiation and energy transmission is real. I agree with you that one should be careful and take full responsibility for one's actions but that doesn't mean that the Guru can't ignite your energies and that it is BS. Two truths can be true at the same time@Leo Gura

@Leo Gura With all due respect Leo but you're wrong on this one. Energy is constantly being transmissioned and it's something you can become conciouss of. You have even said that you have got to experience being a tiger in the past on Psychedelics ( gotten to experience that same consciousness state) and the same thing can happen with a "Guru s " state of concioussness. That's what is being pointed at when they talk about initiation. ^^^ you get intiated ( getting to experience a certain consciousness for the first time) and can then choose to make that concioussness grow and intensify if you nurture it. That's what's refered to as the spark.🔥 I've both experienced the transmission and being the one that transmissions the energy. It's real and a possibility for all who wish to experience it. Don't let your bias against bhaki yoga and worship hinder you from seeing what is actually being pointed at🙏🏻

I have struggled with this for quite some time but I'm starting to get the hang of it. What it always essentially boils down to is if want it bad enough? Is it important enough? If it's not important enough yet, you will to need pendle back and forth many times untill you realize what you actually want. This is what Burning thorugh karma means. Another perspective to look at it from is that you need to be relentless in whatever you're doing. This means unwawering devotion and commitment to whatever you want to do which implies a strong why. That why can be anything though, but it needs to be grounded in something that is very important for YOU. Practice something very small and really stick to it. From that you can then apply that same discipline and emotion to other tasks in your life, like waking up early. Another question to ponder is, is it really that I want to wake up early or is there something else that waking up early allows you to feel or fullfill. Maybe you can fulfill that emotional or practical need in some other way apart from waking up early. Regardless if you want to wake up early or not - figure out why you want to wake up because that will help you develop a good reason why you want to wake up early. Good luck! @Mondsee

@RendHeaven For sure, I've been thinking about you man Miss you

Have you done his Shoonya yoga program? If so, what are the effects you have seen doing the meditation. I've been practicing shambavi for a whole now and it's so powerful.

This is how I have felt numerous times about LSD😂 I think that there are some psychedelics that trigger more of your trauma. For example - LSD is very femenine in nature, atleast for me because it puts me into a no self state.. but because it does that, to me it's actually masculine because it basically fucks me by putting more femenine energy in me ( which I am already resisting within myself) Shrooms don't do this to me for some reason. I heard that people are either shroom people or LSD people. Although this is a generalization - I think there is something to it.

Of my state of concioussness

@MarkKol 😂😂😂

Any books on this? I'm thinking about things related to Leos video on the counter-intuitive nature of life and the theme of things going full circle. Thanks!

It's okey man. I really feel for you because I have been there myself. I approached hundreds of girls and got rejected every single time for many years. Girls have blocked me, unfollowed me and not replied to me more times than I can even remember. You're not doing anything wrong, you're just inexperienced. Keep talking to girls and keep getting rejected- in fact get rejected faster. I don't know how many times I fucked up with different girls and humilated myself in different ways but it doesn't matter. I Keept talking to girls and today I have a girlfriend. Trust the process

No, it's the opposite, although it can seem like you're becoming more selfish you're actually not. The more spiritual you become - the less manipulative you become because becoming more spiritual is fundamentaly only about braking the boundary between you and others. What will happen though is that as you get more conciouss you will at one point or another get more and more connected to truth which might give you the illusion that you're turning into a sociopathic dickhead.

@Leo Gura Can you give some exampels of some of his weird hindu beliefs that you see? I'm genuinly curious.

I've heard Sadhuru mention that some Yogis when they attain Mahasamdi completely dissolves their bodies aswell, only leaving a puddle of water on the ground. He has also mentioned that some yogis can make trees grow just by sitting down and imagining them growing. I don't know any specific person though... except maybe Sadhguru but he is very EXTRAordinary in many ways so I don't know if he satifies you as an example. @An young being

Much love to you my brother. I've confirmed it in my direct experience that it's a dream. Maybe you will come to that insight aswell, or not. Regardless I wish you the best and that you find everything you are seeking for in life.

Because you would brake the dream by doing so. Besides that - there are people who have stopped imagining themselves and done things that would seem impossible.. That is because reality is PURE IMAGINATION. The only reason why you need food right now is because you're in a finite state of consciousness which includes the rules of this reality. Saying it's a dream is of course a limited way of looking at reality, but saying it is not is also a limit. That's my point - it has to be both. From one perspective, it very much is a dream but from another it is not. Because from God's point of view everything is everything. So you saying that reality is not a dream is putting a limit onto infinity and that duality will eventually collapse. The reason why we can't telepathically communicate is because you're not consciousness enough to know how to do that. Your objection regarding the fagt that we are in a dream seems to be rooted in your idea that there is an actual physical reality that is not illusiory. You said you know your dear ones exsist and I do not deny that from you. All l I am saying is that everything is everything which means that you are them, you are a dream, you are reality. You are infinity. And the moment you deny reality being anything and try to dissprove reality, reality will show you how it is that thing that you say it is not. Therefore - reality must be a dream

Reality is in fact a dream my friend but I know nothing that me or someone else says will prove it to you. I'll anyway try to adress your points 1: You only need food, water and air in this dream because you're imagining that you need it and that you're doing it. You think that this is reality.. but it's just a hallucination man.. Just like a dream. Think about it. Everything is happening in your head right now - and when you cease to exsist, so does the world to YOU. This reality feels like it's real but it's actually just your own construction. 2: You can in fact be other things than " Yourself" in this dream. There are many stories about how people have left their body and become birds, other people and even objects. Smoke some saliva for example and you might become a table ((: 3: haven't you had dreams that are a continiution of another dream or story before? I have had that happen many times, especially when I was a kid. Also isn't dreames in one sense just a continiution and a made up conclusion about something that you experienced in your life? Many of our dreams in my experience mirror our reality and emerge from all the impressions we gathered in our life. So in one sense.. we are going back to our dream all the time. Because dreams and reality are the same thing. Everything is everything. When you're dreaming you're continiuing the dream in a dream (;

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have always find it interesting to learn more about the mechanics of how we get brainwashed into different worldviews and perspectives. Reading your story thourgh christianty and beyond was very intriguing and helped me gain more perspective on how easy it is to get trapped in different worldview. Maybe you should write a book on it (;

I had this happen once after doing a lot of Shambavi mahamudra and tripping on acid. It was very umcomforteble and I thought I had fucked my life up. It dissapeared after 2 days though.. eventhough it obviously is still here. What helped me in making it stop was surrendering to it and letting it work on me. Just observe the sensation and it will eventually be seen and cease

Fundamentaly life is about one thing and that is trust and ownership. Do you trust others and yourself - if you don't you will always think people or the world is out to get you. Do you own up to the fact that you're responsible to everything? If you don't. - you will belive you are powerless. We can all come up with the most horrific scenarios about of life could be but we can also come up with the best possible scenarios aswell. it's not that reality is this way or that way. Reality will always be everything - it's just that how YOU decide to look at life is how life will be reflected back at you. If you look at life as evil, life will be evil towards you, if you look at life as good it will be good. Which one is true? Both!! If you look long enough all those red flags will become true.. but that doesn't mean that they are true, it's just that from that perspective it is true because if you look at it from another perspective it becomes untrue. So what is actually true? That which is. And because everything is, everything is ultimate truth... So instead of thinking about if things are deluding you, think about if you're not deluding yourself into believing everything is deluding you, because that's what you do You delude YOUR reality, YOUR perspective into exsistence. Don't be afraid if reality is this or that way - CHOOSE how you want to delude yourself

I am in a long distance relationship with a Morrocon girl and she has a lot of stage blue aspects in her. I'm devouted to her and love her very much. My advice for you is to dare to choose love. If you really love her and want to be with her, stay devouted to her in the ups and down of your marriage. If you look at it logicially, it may look like it's going to be very challanging, inconvinient and not going to work but if you love someone or something - you will do everything for that person and relationship.. Is it crazy? Absolutly. But it's the way of the lover - and if you feel like that's your souls path - go all the way! Much love and blessings

Don't worry man, this realization is just an intermediate step to realize an even deeper truth about your exsistence. Right now you're resisting it and by resisting it you are slowly learning to surrender to it. You will let this go eventually as you purify more of your self as a separate self. I've experienced similar states on LSD... in fact this has been historically what happens to me when I take LSD. It almost always puts me in a " no self state" where my ego is searching for balance and itself as my own life or not itself as in that it wants to reach non exsistince. ( which my ego in that state believes is impossible) Always remember to keep your awareness - consciousness itself is curative.. so if that's the case - More consciousness will not sink your life - it will expand and heal you.. Atleast in the long term. YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS. @emil1234

ACCEPT your logic. Right now you are resisting yourself as a not spiritual person which is the opposite of Spirituality. Spirituality is basically boiled down to one thing and that is ACCEPTENCE of your self. You can only trancend something if you love it so if you want to trancend logic - learn to love it instead of resisting it.. and even more so - learn to love that you are resisting logic. LOVE and ACCEPCT everything - That's what spirituality means.

My point☝️

There is no such thing as no reincarnation Try to prove me wrong
