Something Funny

Hi @Leo Gura, in the Burgmansia post you mention how psychedelics empirically demonstrate that reality is a hallucination. I assume that the ergument goes as follows: Those chemichals affect our brain chemistry and reality changes with it, therefore reality is not a solid constant but a hallucination. Our sober state is just one of the possible mind states and is not more superior/turthfull to the state mind on psychedelics. In both cases reality is hallucination. My question is how can we know for certain that our sober state of mind is the same and is not seeing reality more accurately to how it is (which would suggest that there's objective reality out there)? A good counter argument I can come up with it is that our sober mind needs to see reality accurately in order to functuon and survive in it effectively. Therefore its superior to hallucinations on Datura and such. How do we know this is not the case? I know there are also other insights from awakenings and stuff that make you think that reality is hallucination but right now I am just interested in this one argument in isolation: do psychedelics really prove that reality is a hallucination?

30-60 minutes every day for one year, according to Leo's video. I haven't read the booknyet, but it will probably have some guideline as well.

I don't like sadhguru

Leo, but you are saying it from the perspective of someone who has tried all of them and lots more. I think there is value in doing just that.

I am also wondering about this. I feel that as a newbie, I will benefit from learning everything from scratch.

Just bought the J.C. Stevens's book. It will take a few weeks to arrive though.

They didn't, there are lots of young people who are right wingers.

Lol, the forum is super laggy today.

@ZenSwiftthank you, not sure how trustworthy chatgpts interpretation is though.

what's that? found it, thank you

@ExploringReality you are right, I actually have it but forgot that there were books about kriya yoga.

Can someone recommend me good resources for learning kriya yoga? A cource / a book / a youtube channel. I've never done it so its hard for me to discern bullshit from high quality stuff.

@Leo Gura what resources do you recommend for getting started with Kriya yoga?

@Leo Guraregarding your last post, maybe it's a pointless question, but do you not consider psychedelics "human"?
