Ishanga

Yes exactly !!

Doctors super surprised how Sadhguru could perform the activities he did while having 2 brain bleeds happening and severe pain, and talk about his ability to recover from this and Brain surgery much faster than expected...

Yes I think So! Desire is the same meaning as Life, Life means the expression of the Absolute, so for that too happen Form has to be present, we are the highest Form on this planet in that we are the most capable Expression and Experientially. So Desire is about Being More than what You are Right Now.. If You are Broke, You want $10 to feed Yourself, then when You feed Yourself You want something to drink, then after You drink you want to sleep lol, then tomorrow You want $20 to do more of this cycle, then You become a Billionaire one day, and You want to be a multi Billionaire after that, so its just a matter of where it manifests within You and in where You feel Lack. If you lack in Love, Love in Your currency, if in Power then Control is Your currency, if In boredom then Excitement is Your Currency and on and on it goes..Spirituality is about becoming totally Free and Unbounded, Liberation which is what we really want, to expand Endlessly and Be Boundless!

Sadhguru shared a real incident about his brain's medical test.

Wrong.. " Swami Rama's abilities were tested scientifically at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas in 1971. The tests demonstrated his ability to produce different brain waves, control his heart rate, and create temperature differentials: Brain waves Swami Rama was able to produce alpha waves, theta waves, and delta waves at will. He could stay aware throughout and describe what was happening in the lab. Heart rate Swami Rama voluntarily stopped his heart from pumping blood for 17 seconds by increasing his heart rate to 300 beats per minute. Temperature differentials Swami Rama was able to create a temperature differential of 5 degrees Celsius between two areas on the palm of his right hand. He was also able to raise and lower the temperature in adjacent muscles by 10°F. Swami Rama's abilities were widely reported in the media and increased interest in his teachings."

I find it sad in a metaphorical way because it just leads to ignorance and that leads to suffering and more suffering leads to me having to deal with it everyday lol... A suffering population means more bullshit to deal with everyday in real life functionality... it gets old after awhile:)

I create my Experience Consciously or Unconsciously, I create the world around Me situationally, I create my reaction or response to the world around Me, I create the Intentions then the Actions that come from the Intentions.. I am the Creator and a piece of the Creation at the sametime.. You create by becoming Conscious of the Foundation of what You Are, and that is what we there before creation happened, a Grand sort of Intelligence beyond calculation, emotion, intention, intellect, ideology and such, its so grand it can do trillions of things within a cell within what we consider one second...

Predictions coming from Hindu Text, the Gita and other texts...that appear to accurately describe present day events and technology!

The only thing I would say is that a Being is an embodiment of the Absolute, which is Us in its highest form at least as far as we know... There isn't just One Being, there is no Being in Absolute, because Absolute/Brahman/Shiva is not an entity or form or embodiment or physicality, or any concept we can imagine. Its just a Potential/Possibility Realm, so since Duality/Karma has to exist as part of the Potential equation, we are here to work it out and play the game as BEINGS, with Individual Karmic makeups and conditionings, free will, consciousness/unconsciousness etc so Absolute can experience itself in trillions/limitless ways...that's my guess:)

See told You so lol, they don't see it, nor do they want too, just ridicule anything outside their belief system, sad really:(

Incorrect, this is the wrong interpretation of Peace, Peace does not mean just sitting around doing nothing, it means You are no longer a slave to outside situations, you accept what is as it is, Your Responsive, not reactive, and You realize that Life is found in Present Moment Awareness, this brings a certain Realization of Life that brings Intensity of Experience in an Empowering way into Your Awareness/Perception, this invigorates You and gives You the Energy and Awareness to actually BE more than what You are right now with no chance of Suffering the consequences, Your full strides walking forward, not two steps forward one step back via the suffering route...

This is a balancing act, one is walking a tight rope, one day they can do it, the next they cannot, and then one day they can't walk that path anymore, so its not a stable path for sure.. First make it impossible to suffer, feel pain yes, pain is healthy, suffering is not, so make Your self Peaceful of Your own nature, then the intelligence within You that is available to You always, that is beating Your heart, managing Your blood pressure, making you breath while in deep sleep (virtual death), you have more access to this while in Peaceful/Blissful states then Life Potential Opens up to You in a million ways...

Not so, this is just conditioned into Us so we remain slaves to a system for the elite to benefit from, that Suffering is necessary and a part of life, that is not so.. One can travel the path of Peace, Clarity and Bliss and do all things necessary for life to go on and advance and be much more beneficial to the masses but they internally are unaffected by it via any outcome, and know Reality as it is...that is not possible via the Suffering route..

Yes that is why I said one can use it, but its a dangerous path, most do not travel it well with desired results, do You really want to suffer every moment of everyday??

The Movie Heat with Al Pacino and Robert Deniro portrays this well, Pacino is the cop Deniro the bank robber, both have crews, both are super intelligence, determined, self centered, focused, extremists in a way, both full of intensity, its just a matter of belief systems and loyalties that separate them....

Start another Thread, ask another question, read all the answers, feel the same way as before, sit and veg then repeat cycle.. Sugarcoat Modus operandi

@Javfly33 Nice sharing, have not seen that One.. The Non Dualist here will say this is all gibberish, not needed, too much work, everything is just appearance bla bla bla, but they don't see it or realize it.. Sadhguru is not just about Enlightenment, being Blissful and such, he's about the Mechanics of Life, experiencing all that this Life (Potential) has to offer, and how to navigate thru it, so You just don't disappear and are no good to the ppl left behind here, so that is why I like him so much, he's logically/intellectual correct, Energetically highly intense, always Blissful and Laughing, and walks the walk, doesn't just talk about it like many here...

I've watched him over the years, he's very very Intellectually Identified, he's all thoughts and thinking and calculating, dissecting things up but then trying to put it all back together with a set of scissors, that is why he had a mental breakdown, feel sorry for ppl like that too!!

Yes, SJV says most ppl at the moment of Enlightenment die, and many realize Enlightenment at the moment of their physical death or maybe they are having a Samadhi moment at the moment of death but its not Karmically Enlightenment level of realization.. What I find interesting is that SJV has said that one can be Energetically Enlightened, like their Kundalini has hit and is staying at the Crown Chakra but they are not intellectually Enlightened or something along those lines...

Wrong again... Morality yes its relative to one's culture, what we think is wrong another culture may embrace as right, so in some cases Morality is relative, but most all cultures believe the Killing or Stealing from another for one's own good is Morally wrong, and that is what most criminals are up to, but every action, every decision p[l are making can be logically justified today, a rapist can justify his actions of rape against women but that doesn't mean his actions are Moral, is it right to use a woman for Your Own sexual pleasure against her Will? No it is not.. Criminals are doing just that performing actions, justifying it to themselves but using others for their own good and purposes..

@mrroboto You are Correct. Just the using of the label "God" is a misnomer, Call it something else, but we are all a part of the essence that created everything and was there before everything was created, call it Absolute or Brahman or Shiva, but yes we are here as an Expression of this Absolute, so Experience can come Alive and Absolute/Life can experience it self. Absolute is the well of all Potential and Possibility but there is no Expression or Experience there, but the Potential has to be expressed doesn't it? We are doing that here, so it is a game of sorts, we have Free Will to determine how we respond to this game and experience it!

True! Ppl talk here say this and that, they say they have suffered that is their Truth, but when they write about it here, share their suffering its just a Story to the rest of Us reading it, like a philosophy no different.. So the essence of it is this, once it is in YOUR EXPERIENCE then it is Truth and Reality, that is the only thing that really matters is Your Experience, and it only happens within YOU, no where else, this is the only aspect of Solipsism that is true on a Experiential level.,, Suffering can be used, as anything can be used to bring You to Your Higher Potential, but Suffering is not a Higher Potential at all, its a lower Potential, because the Experience of Suffering disempowers You, Bliss Empowers You so that Your Potential is more revealed to You then hence Transformation is upon One, so Bliss is the safest Path, get Blissful of Your Own Nature and then see the World/Life open up to Higher Potentials..

Life is the Expression of Absolute, its Potential being played out in real time here so its a game of sorts, with Free Will access, choose how to experience Life (BEINGNESS), then go out and perform Action (Doing) and get results (Having), but nobody does it this way, the usually DO to HAVE to get some sort of sense of BEING, but it never works like that, so one continues to search (Gather/Accumulate) ppl, places and things to feel complete and whole but this is just ego and survival mode seeming different somehow, not real Spirituality in any sort of way! So we have what we have today, you have Normals which is ppl that go out and work and have families and live a simple sort of Survival Life, or then You have the Crazies that cannot live the Normals life and go nuts, some are in great positions of Power and use it to their own advantage, causing massive suffering to millions, they are unconscious of Reality and care only of what they want, this is very very anti Spirituality, its not close to Human Nature level, its below Animal Nature Level..

@Javfly33 From what I understand Samadhi is not Enlightenment either but its the step just before Enlightenment happens, and there are 7 different types of Samadhi but Yeah its a no mind thing in basic terms, just pure Perception and Clarity arising where Life is found in the NOW moment, all else is irrelevant..

No, completely off base here with this. Life is not Infinite Love, Your just lacking in Love that is why you put it up on a pedestal.. Love is Inclusion, its Me including You as a part of Myself, its a Sweet Emotion that Humans are capable of Experiencing to a high degree of Intensity, Life is not this, Life/Absolute is all Possibility and Potential, but don't call a Serial Killer Love, call it Hate, which is also another Potential, opposite of Love but Possible to be existing and expressed.. As Humans we can choose where to Vibe and be within Ourselves, do You want Love or Hate, with Love there is great Bliss attached to it, that is why You want it, if Love meant great pain and suffering You would not want it, we call that Hate, that is why the Serial Killer does what he does, he Hates his victims and uses them for his/her own pleasure..
