Anything done excessively is never wise. It will backfire. You will find one of the most unwise people within the gaming community. These people loose touch with life and they don't even realise it. It will become an addiction to a point where you can't appreciate anything that is not as exciting, stimulating and distracting as playing a video game. Also it will loose it's excitement very quickly. Years of that and it will become almost impossible to do anything related to spirituality, because at that point you won't have the mental capacity to do any spiritual practice. In moderation it can enrich your life. Treat it the same way as you would treat a movie theatre. You don't wanna be in a theatre and watch movies all day Why go and do a meditation retreat, if i can play a fun exciting video game? That is how a gamer thinks

What? The opposite is the case. Death is the transcendence of separation. The devil is calling oneness death in order to stay a devil

Watched this a while ago and found it quite interesting At around 1:00 Sadhguru mentions love and fear as being reactions to ones environment. And that those are psychological, not existential. And when the Rabbi followed up with the question "Love is not an existential reality?", Sadhguru gave a clear "no". I was surprised to be honest

@Charlotte I am this way too, but mostly it's something that I am not compassionate about. Love is missing in that case, and therefore it feels too much like a duty which causes anxiety

I know, my shirt is enlightened af

"Stop a stop a war", So you mean create a war?

My mother is the opposite, she is busy decreasing it. You gotta put in some real work to keep up with her

That everything is good and that I am God Honestly, i don't even think in terms of good or bad anymore. It's the same with the weather. Whenever I overhear people talk about the weather being good or bad, my mind almost can't make sense of that. A rainy day to me is a rainy day and I enjoy the rain. Maybe a walk, seeing happy people outside that radiate a lively energy (not many of them though, most are zombie-like), a tasty meal, a grounding meditation session etc.

Well, we are not hanging up the whole field of spirituality, just one way of approaching it. It's not a lasting way of going about Enlightenment. For deep quick insights it is unbeatable, but those states don't last. It's like a rocket that no matter how far it goes into space it always comes back to earth. In the long run it kinda feels dissatisfying because those high states and ones current sober state are too far apart. So, the question is how do we close that gap. That's where you start looking for methods which give you "permanent" results. If psychedelics worked in terms of "permanent" Enlightenment then why the need to take more of them? It would be like being in heaven but wanting to take a substance so it becomes more heavenly, but that would mean that you are not in heaven to begin with As Sadhguru said: "the question is how to get there and stay there". To me the staying part is what defines Enlightenment

@impulse9 Nicely put. To be honest i am in the same boat as you. Didn't have nearly as much trips, but I have the same Intuition already

Enlightenment is close, only 1% Attachment

It is you as the finite being that wants physical pleasure, not the Godhead. But you wanna act as the Godhead in favor of the finite selfish being. God doesn't put blow jobs over non-blow jobs, you as a human do. Pure God has no interest in physical pleasure, but you wanna act from that position. It's like asking, why doesn't Jesus help Hitler in his ridiculously selfish plan of extinguishing jews? all ❤️. I might come across too serious and self confident

Because there is a thing called memory If you had those levels of consciousness, you wouldn't need those pleasures anyways. physical pleasure is just a poor substitute for spiritual pleasure

it is your moment to shine, you boomeranged that shit like a god. that quote doesn't sit well with you. but also do you agree to some extent? cause in your latest blog post you indirectly agreed with it

@Goldzilla you are annoying

If you have a well made umbrella for rainy days, then i would consider you as wise

you are conscious that it is real, it's that simple. it is very hard to delude yourself when you are super-conscious. it's like a bank robber trying to rob a bank with bright lights, cameras, alarm, police etc. everywhere

Not really a scam but an attempt. Sold a pair of pants for $220 on grailed, a website for selling and buying menswear. Bit like eBay but more niche. The guy who bought it was in the Bronx, i am in Germany. He told me to ship it without signature. But i already knew what he was up to and that he was trying to scam me. Because you can open a case on Paypal telling them that you haven't received the item. Without the signature it is more likely that they decide in favor of the buyer Lesson learned: if you sell something online, always with Paypal, tracking number and signature
