    Revelation of the whole ins and outs of the prayer path. Which means, calling God. For the form of God to manifest in Brahamn (Reality, another name for God). For the Self to manifest inside the Self. That at some point must happen, this must be your determination. Liberation will have to be granted to me.

    @Galyna When doing sport the most important thing is that you ENJOY it. If you have that everything else falls into place, if you don't have that it all becomes dry, without lubricant.

    Never heard about triphala and neem, are you Indian!? I am not sure if Europeans heard of these neem leaves ….

    I'm pretty tenacious in my research of the multiple facets of Awakening and Self-Development. I also did a pretty good job in my Stage yellow Spiral Dynamics, which I'm still enjoying the fruits of. By researching a wide variety of these facets and trying them in myself I have come to discover incredible hidden treasures. One of those is Triphala powder and Neem powder. I mean they are really good, more than what you would expect. They taste horrible though ahhahahah. But they make great healing and vitality to happen in you. If you are interested in buying them, investigate on your own, be careful with the dosage and always listen to your body. Triphala at night, Neem in the morning, is the best secret of the Ayurvedic Tradition, which it's whole Research was on food for Awakening, Happiness and Healing. Pretty cool!

    Have you discovered this facet of awakening? Medicines & Nootropics

    Become aware of how MultiDimensional this work really is.

     

    Let's see if more people give their feedback on the facets they have discovered. I'm excited to hear about you all!

    I need to be the other way around where I take myself more seriously. See, this mindgame is just getting started. Now, I'll be like "that's not funny, grow up", and I'll become some stoic, stuck-up, cant laugh at myself female because the mind told me to change. Geesh, what/who do you listen to....aha...just be. Here we go again, some non-dual bullshit, or is it. 

    I get what you are saying, a sweet balance needs to be struck at every moment.

    Although, Humour is always important. You can be seriously humorous in life.

    Like a Game! You go full steam ahead but you know you are playing and having fun. Both coexist beautifully

    In fact, Leo has an old episode about being humorous which is surprisingly good. This one playful attitude in life can make you happier.

    Lately I've been trying to notice those little beautiful moments in life, with a desire to appreciate them more. I have noticed this new two.

     

    For my 5th year aniverary with my girl, I gifter her a ring and she gifted me a watch. I have to say that the mechanical watch is very beautiful, it is an open design and you can see every little piece moving in perfect rythm and synchronicity. Just watching it work plus the deep significance  it has, lead me to a deep appreciation every time I check the time. So wearing everyday this watch has made me a bit happier in my life.

    I also bought for christmas a good fragrance. Each time I smell it, I feel good. It gives me this good aura of fresh delicious smell. This brief moment of breathing in the perfume, before starting the day, makes me really happy.

     

    Please tell me!! What are the little things in life that make you happy?

    This Body does not build ashrams. There is one all-pervading and all transcendent ashram - where whatever you say is there. Certainly all ashrams belong to This Body. You think that only those ashrams you have built are Her’s. Really the entire world is just an ashram of this body. Where is the second? – MA

    The problem is I could only “fall” for 1h, body is not trained to sit that long, I have various sensations that throw me out from the meditative state. 
    My goal is to train my body three times a week in a gym so it could be very enduring.

    If this is your objective I recommend you to train with intensity rather than frecuency. To sustain long periods of meditation and stillness is easy when you have trained with intensity the day before. Your body will ask you to sit and be quiet, restful.

    This is in fact my routine, a lot of intensity while training, sweating, going a bit beyond my limit and then stop and rest fully for the following days. I first discovered this methodology in an study they did of Gorillas. They found out that  this animals rarely do sport for fitness but when they do, they do it at maximum intensitity, really making the muscle to break and reform stronger. When I put it into practice it worked well with my routine and body type, it may work for you. Maximum body exercises makes the pendulum go to maximum relaxation afterwards.

    Plus food, I am going to eat less meat of any kind.  No alcohol, no sugar, no coffee.

    Yes, this is also very important. I recommend you to follow the Sattvic principle, which means eating pure food, through all senses consuming pure substances. Whatever your diet, try eating that in organic food, it really makes a difference when all those chemicals are not in your system. You may also start converging towards less meat and fish, a tendency to go towards eating less evolved criatures usually helps in this process.

    If you want to boost your progress I recommend you taking a bit of triphala at night and a pinch of neem in the morning. These ayurvedic medicines are able to clean the muscle memory and bioenergy of your own body, among other things. This routine creates a good ecosystem in your body where meditation becomes is easy and stable.

    First of all, congratulations for the introspection. It really felt genuine and authentic.

    I felt a lot of empathy with you because I went through exactly what you are explaining. The way I solved it with my partner, was first of all presence. Once I got up to a point of consciousness, my very own presence was able to connect with her and give very little glimpses. This kept snowballing little by little over the years. The final trigger that opened the next chapter for us in this regard was her first psychedelic. We tried LSD in a paradise beach city, while on summer together. This was the first time she had a point of reference of what I was going through. So you don't need to convince your partner to Awaken but she MUST have a Point of Reference. Because the truth is most people can't even pull out from their experiences one single mystical insight or awakening. It's for this reasons that psychedelics offer the most efficient tool for this purpose. When the oppurtunity of doing psychedelics with your girlfriend comes, jump on it. Make sure she grasps the point of reference and be very mindful, allowing her own trip to unfold, while also bonding together from new states of consciousness for both of you. Also tripping with other people can be sometimes chaotic, know that and relax into it, flow with what comes, you need to be her anchor of safety for her to explore. 

    About other people, I did many things but what ended up being the key were Martial Arts. They forced me to fight for my position, to endure pain and to express through my body.

    I'm sure many other options are available, this is just how it happened for me and what I recommend.

    I've lately become conscious of the many facets Awakening has. It's more multidimensional than what I had assumed.

    Awakening being a Perfect Diamond, each Realization a Luminous Facet into the One.

    Diamond of Awakening.jpg

     

    I would like to start with Spaciousness. I had previously experienced this facet but mostly in solitary or briefly. First time I heard of such a facet was from Frank Yang, condensing the whole meditation path into: "Contraction & Expansion" (For neophytes, let's say Concentration vs Relaxation).  Michael Taft meditations really helped me to crack this nut, as the spacious facet in particular is his expertise. I also started having this Sky-like Open Wide Awake State on my Malt Trips.

    However, what surprised me the most was not the facet of spaciousness in itself, but the combination of this particular facet with others, casting light upon the other sides of the Diamond. To experience Consciousness with the flavour of Spaciousness , to experience Oneness with such a Wide Open Mind, to feel Love in such an Expansive state, to exist as Boundless Silence,  to recognise God in such Vastness. These combinations have been particularly inspiring, opening my mind to a diverse variety of flavours that can be combined in the Awakening Journey. 

     

    Some months ago, I started awakening to Symmetry. I find it particularly hard to describe this facet but I'll do my best to communicate it: Exquisite Symmetry has a profound sense of Beauty and Equilibrium. God-Made Balance throughout all Notes in the Infinite Piano Playing inside the Symphony of Reality. Feeling such profound levels of symmetric connection and oneness with existence, a deep desire arose in me to start watching Fractal Art and Infinity Mirrors. Doing so, proved to be more transforming than expected. Allowing regular meditation to go deeper than before while also providing tremendous anchoring. When I started introducing the psychedelic component in my prolonged Fractal contemplations, things made a profound shift into Conscious Aesthetics. A moving appretiation of the Palace of my own Mind and the never ending Beauty of Pure Creativity.

    Symmetry however, did not transform so profoundly other facets, as Spaciousness did, but there was a facet in particular which was extremely enchanced: Self-Awareness/Self-Inquiry/Introspection. As Symmetry started sinking in and expressing through myself, all corners of my Psyche and Mind started shining in the Light of the One. Such Holistic appretiations of the never-before explored facets of myself brought me to tears multiple times. It synergized in such a way where Trascendental and Relative where in Symmetric Understanding and Harmony, moving in One Whole Dance. Blind spots of my human character as well as existential ignorance were brought to light, as all corners in my Symmetric Mind were being illuminated by Consciousness.

     

    Now it's your turn – what facets have you discovered that particularly surprised you?

    There are two kinds of pilgrims 

    on life's journey: 

    the one like a tourist is keen on sight-seeing, wandering from place to place, flitting from one experience to another for the fun of it. 

    The other traveller treads the path that is consistent with man's true being and which leads to his real home, to Self-knowledge. Sorrow will certainly be encountered on the journey undertaken for the sake of sight-seeing and enjoyment.

     

    So long as one's real home has not been found, suffering is inevitable. The sense of separateness is the root-cause of misery, because it is founded on error, on the conception of duality. 

    This is why the world is called du-niya - based on duality.

     

     What is wanted is genuine Awakening, an awakening after which nothing remains to be attained. . .

    you do this by not going into it, but by going beyond it

    Congratulations, that's the facet of awakening!

    Any sort of recollection or review of past, which all that stuff is based off of is unnecessary,

    It is not recollection of the past, if you are bleeding from a cut right now you heal yourself that is all simple. It may be of some use to know how it happened and all of that but the point is in the now dealing with your shadow as it manifest or triggering it and what comes dealing with it. You are certainly not going to nondual out the shadow, because they are different facets to the work. You may be too engrossed with the awakening and think it is all possible by it, oh certainly but it's easier to climb the everest without rocks in your backpack but surely some have done but there are just more efficient ways of doing it than just awakening and going higher and higher.

    When someone is so messed up in their mind stuff then spirituality is not yet for them, first get that right, get to a stable platform of Peace.

    The problem is you think shadow work is for broken people that are not spiritually evolved. That are some unconsicous thoughts picked up from socierty that psychology and so on are to fix yourself when you are broken, wrong. Many saints do have shadow even though they are extremely conscious! Many saints have personality disorders, even though they are enlightened! Charles Manson is absurdly conscious, much more than you and me together and he's still insane, psychopath and with murder tendencies. From this misunderstanding came all the sexual scandals and unintegrities from masters, because they fail to understand the shadow and think that by being spiritual they can bypass it.

    No, that's spiritual bypassing, search and investigate this term. It's an important lesson that everyone painfully learns in the path. When the shadow slaps you in the face after some time of spiritual fantasy. With time you will remember this conversation we are having and everything  will make much more sense.

    when that is gained then one can begin a spiritual path per say, until then, its all mind work, ego discovery and things of this nature which imo are not real or true spiritual work, just as we are not talking about Spirituality here, we are talking around it. 

    OKay now we are getting somewhere. THe problem is you don't see how all this points connect together. You are just talking about awakening and that's fine but you don't get that there are unvoidable secondary works that need to be done in parallel with your sadhana. After awakening deeply for many years, your shit will come to the light. Then you will clean it, use sadghuru's tools if that works for you great. From that cleaning, your human character will evolve and you will become mature, growing up (which is essential in yoga also). Hence the three main facets of the work that go in cycles are Wake up, Clean up, Grow up. But you think that just by the first one you are set and done, well theoretically yes but in practice one in a million do so, it's very hard to climb mound everest being a child with a backpack full of rocks, but some have done it that I guarantee you, there you have your point. The question is if that will be you?

    On 17/1/2024 at 3:40 PM, Ishanga said:

    Think what You want about Sadhguru and what he is or is not, at least he admits all the talking, interviews and events are circus, as well at least he shares methods and technologies for one to get to a point of gradual Realization

    Sadghuru is very legit and I respect him very much. He just has some blind spots, as everyone, I'm trying to make you see them, that's all. Because I have studied hundred of masters deeply, practiced dozens of religions, read numeral books about psychology and personal develpment. The full round spectrum. That's why I can share with you things that most people can't see.

    if your into talking and think this is the be all end all then good luck:)

    Lol, of course I'm not that naive. This is talking from direct experience, real talking.

    "One day the 'kheyala' (spontaneous upsurge of divine will, see first post in page 5) came to inquire,

    'How does this happen? (what causes things to happen as they do?)' and this body's mouth pronounced the answer, 'things, events, situations occur due to the interplay of 'mahashakti (divine power) and 'ichcha-shakti' (will power)'. Normally in a human being there is the interplay between these two forces. The 'will power' plays with one's desire, and the 'divine power' stands above one's desires and doubts and carries out the inevitable results of one's karma and 'sanskars' (Repeatedly skiing down the same path on a mountain creates a deeper and distinct line in the snow, called Sanskars in sanskrit, being the mountain your mind and psyche and each time you ski down an action). The 'lila' (divine play) of 'mahashakti' indicates permanence, unrestricted manifestation and absolute power to do anything. The nature of 'ichcha-shakti' is to exert intelligent thinking in order to fulfill desire. In other words 'mahashakti' denotes an absolute power beyond the ever-changing mind, whereas 'ichcha-shakti' denotes the exertion of individual will power within the context of the ever changing desires of the mind due to a sense of incompleteness and need.


    On the path of 'sadhana' (spiritual practice), once success is attained by conducting activities perfectly with one's will power, then the play of divine power is experienced by oneself. At that stage all diversity in the world starts to dissolve into one undivided state of being and nothing remains for the 'sadhak' (one who does spiritual practices) except the single objective of one's goal. One has to wait for the final grace of 'Mahashakti' for merging into absolute Unity, as no final solution is possible by 'ichcha-shakti' alone. Just as no smoke can be seen without fire, so also these two complement each other as different aspects of the Supreme One."
