I don't know why but I like it

In this video he outlines 30 distinct Awakenings: It's one of my old time favourites

@integral I find it very interesting what he's doing. He made his life purpouse trying to push the age limit as far as possible. It always piques my curiosity how different this man lives, eats and does its own thing.

Yes, that's what my intuition was telling me actually happened. Ken tried it a few times but didn't find it appealing. Thanks for sharing. We're closer to truth now.

Because it's to femenine for your way of doing spirituality and it doesn't resonate. You can't let go and lose yourself, singing, dancing and being feely and vulnerable. Take into account that singing and dancing as a spiritual practice is as old as it gets and there are also very masculine spiritual chantings, like tantric, shamanic drumming and african men initiations. However, as time has unfolded the femenine feels a more natural calling to sing and pray for connecting with the divine.

You are getting creative with your examples lately

@shree I've also experienced Christ and Buddha Consciousness on LSD. I haven't done LSD in a while as I've been more on 5meos this year. However I have to say that my trips are different to yours, it's hard for me to resonate with the way you operate in a psychedelic state. Although the insights and awakenings seem legit.

I think it does and much more than that

This hit me like a truck

@Michael569 Thanks, I'm still very green but I'm trusting the process and feeling into my life. I appreciate your kind words, they are like breathing fresh air

Mind is Infinity Definetely not talking about the human mind, that's the misunderstanding. If you want to understand the ocean, you can't hold it with a bucket

That sounds great to me Keep with that It may take years to breakthrough beyond, but there is no end to beyond, so just enjoy the unfolding. This is what I'm trying to do lately

I've never thought about this. Seems good to me

Kirtans can be very intoxicating by themselves. It's more femenine spirituality and I enjoy them a lot whenever I go

Yes, I also heard the same thing. He used to cook everyday his meal in the ashram kitchen. Many times devotees would go to the kitchen to find him. So it's not that much as the common opinion says but Ramana in the end was a Jnani not a Yogi.

@Leo Gura That was an interesting experiment. I pulled out cash and started playing around with multiplication

I got an interesting insight. To make a full life purpose as the ultimate vision of my life and then a full decade life purpouse. If I have 50 years ahead of myself, I can make detailed plans for my life. It's an interesting possibility I had never contemplated.

I'm not that sure he has never done them. That's the reason why I wanted to see whether it is still the case. If he has never tried psychedelics and just did outward research; then it's pretty irrelevant what more he has to say.

I've also been reflecting about the Rupert Spira cheating controversy. Let's imagine it were true, would that mean that all his non dual awakenings are bulshit? I have to confess that I've never gravitated to his teachings at all but the videos that I saw from him it is also clear that Rupert Spira had some experiences and is in that state to some degree or the other So if we are strictly in the pov of spirituality we can get some pointers here and there from him to realize non-duality. But we must complement it with life transforming human development and maturity. Know that I remembered, I heard some critics about spiritual bypassing on him before. Whatever, my view on the matter had been actualized and wanted to update my take

@Water by the River I would like to see Ken Wilber's current talk on psychedelics. That video is old and gives legit credit to psychedelics more than the cherry picking that you have done. Does anyone know if there are more recent talks or writing on psychedelics by Ken Wilber?

@Leo Gura That was surgically precise

💯

The one making sense of the teachings. It all depends on the quality of my mind, character and consciousness. If this are not in the proper place, not even the best teacher can save me, if those are in the correct place, I'll find my way out of the shadows in every teaching and with even more fervour my own inner self deceptions.
