    The point is that even when this illusory boundary between the perceived and the perceiver disappears, you still lack insight into the infinity of experiences on infinite levels. For a very simple reason: you still dream that you are a human being, moreover, a person with a name, a history, and plans for the future. Perhaps you have jumped and peered for a moment beyond the prison walls of your own mind. Many here manage such jumps from time to time. But there is still a long way to go before the heavy gates of the mind are opened and you can stroll outside. Yes. Even strolls. First, there are timid walks and quick returns to the familiar. Especially before night. For a long, dark night you want to be safe. Much water will flow in the rivers of the world before you permanently leave this nonexistent prison. Before I myself leave it. From No One to Someone and back to No One. A very long journey, and at the same time, a sudden sigh in Infinity.

    @Breakingthewall The problem is, you don't know who or what you are. You know what you've learned, how you were raised, what you've experienced. A conglomeration of various stories and narratives that make up our persona, dressed in biological attire.
    By seriously engaging in various demanding practices, you can convince yourself that existing in a human body with a very, very limited intake of food and water, with a practically deactivated libido, is not only possible but offers a completely different insight into the nature of existence—even in this extremely limited dimension, that is in our collective experience.
    You'll discover, for example, the self-repairing abilities of the human body when undisturbed. And much, much more. I assure you. It may seem anti human, but... it is actually our future. Someday😉😊

    The lotus position is crucial in the intense breathing kriyas of Kundalini yoga, lasting over 20 minutes continuously, followed by intervals of breath holding, especially on the exhale. When properly performed on a 40-day continuous basis, combined with rigorous eating, drinking, sleeping, and sexual abstinence, they produce very powerful effects of expanded perception, including out-of-body perception. Is this necessary?

    For me, it was a reminder of who I am. It was a great relief to feel momentarily free from this heavy bodily suit. But I'm here for a reason... sort of. In any case, by closing a certain energy loop, the lotus pose enables these experiences. But you have to be very, very careful, both with the lotus and with such practices.
    You have to really want it and understand very well what you're doing and why.
    These are not recreational exercises.

    Btw, you need to be able to sit comfortably in lotus pose in both legs crossings to make changes between kriyas.

     @James123 Citta Vritti Nirodha—the cessation of mental turmoil or fluctuations of the mind—you haven't reinvented the wheel. If you've permanently achieved this state—huge applause from me to you and everyone here who has. Unfortunately, this is impossible to verify, and literally anyone can say, or even easier, write anything these days. Maintaining the state of Citta Vritti Nirodha on a daily basis, in normal human functioning, seems so difficult that even the greatest experts on the subject—yogis, ascetics, and various types of saints—are unsure if it's even possible while residing in a human body. It's quite possible that the so-called Jiva-Mukta, like the fully activated Kundalini energy, is just another fantasy. Besides, is that really the point? It's not difficult to eloquently expound upon obvious truths, especially when everything around aroundo us is ok and things are going according to plan. I wonder, casually, how many of us practice what we preach here in our daily lives—school, home, and work. It's also interesting that you'd have to have a ton of free time, or at least a personal secretary, to post as many as some here. But that's just a side note...

    @James123 Don't you think that a very well-masked form of attachment is, for example, excessive seriousness?

    Take these guys below, for example. Their playfulness with words and form is impressive. I die of laughter every time I watch them🤣🤣🤣

    Or this guy:

    I know, it's a bit off-topic, but I understand what you're trying to convey. I just sense a strange seriousness in you... But maybe it's because of your suit icon😉.
