typical answer to constructive criticism, just listen, don't talk back, someone is telling You from an outside perspective what is what, You don't listen, you justify on saying "projection", or it is me not seeing it, but You see it, lol.. If we don't recognize this is a sort of game of "It not me, its You", which is all Ego driven, false self trying to protect itself, then so be it... The world over time has continually attacked those that are here to help, and as a result of that, we have the most messed up societies and world ever, and now with our tech, we are the most powerful generation ever, individually and collectively, so that is dangerous, unconsciousness running rampant, ppl not being able to recognize those that are here to help them, full blown blindness to what is due to improper identification with things they are not and ideologies that are made up and false, dangerous times indeed!

There is more than enough food and resources!! If someone goes from making little to know money, to winning the Billiondollar power ball lottery, is there enough resources for them to be able to spend it all? Yes there is, so if we take this and apply it too everyone having the basics, a comfortable House and a bit of property for a garden or yard, clothing and supplies like that, access to transport, security and safety, and a chance to explore life beyond work, eat, sleep do it again tomorrow, to see what is their creative talent and interest, and supply them with top quality medical care, we can easily do this today! People are not being paid fairly for their work, and the corporate CEO making in 10min what another worker makes in a year, is completely unfair, and he/she is not being paid for their so called expertise. I work for a leading corporation, I see what is coming down the line, its the same language and set up with changes coming down and restructuring for all the companies, its like they are reading from the same book, they are all laying ppl off, using tech to making things more streamlined and efficient and such things, but in the end its about the ones in power maintaining power and control over us slaves and such that do the real work.. They never consult the ones on the front lines, they only take data, rework it and make decisions based on data, and not on what really works, so imo they are all stupid and not very intelligence and get paid way too much for it...When covid hit, ppl didn't like it when their garbage wasn't being picked up and/or their groceries and packages were not arriving, they then realized how Important those roles are, and not easily replaceable compared to the corporate power brokers who know nothing and do nothing except repeat and copy themselves...

@Apparition of Jack Yes agreed, that is my understanding as well, Capitalism worked up until a certain point, maybe late 80's or early 90's, then with more and more wealth gap and ownership in the hands of the few, the middle class income ppl are being eliminated, so hence the power is in fewer and fewer hands, and guess what, they never want to lose what they have! Its all a matter of how Conscious one is, we are not a very highly Conscious Society or Humanity, that is obvious when Profit rule over People Suffering things that can easily be fixed! So if we raise Human Consciousness generally, then things will change, systems will change, we will discover again our Human Nature and Humanity, until then, no educational systems, no Economic system, no Government party or policy will change a thing, since that system is corrupted beyond Belief! Can't change what the system with the same system that created and is creating the problem!!

Governments are puppets to Corporate Power and Elites that run the world, they have the True Power. Listen, whatever Government is in place is only in place a short time (4-5 yrs), they cannot change things that much anyways, and the basic policy is this, Protect the Rich, protect the Power Players, the ones that have been on top of the Power Latter for decades, not a few years here and there... And its not about Government and Taxes anyways, the whole system is corrupt, meaning it is against the masses, and for the Few Elites... Everything has to change, get rid of Governments, Taxes, Money System, how we are currently Educating Kids, Universities and Degrees (another big scam), religion and churches (scam city)... all of it has to go, there are systems that can be put into its place and change things, problem is it won't happen fast, nor will those unconscious ppl (the majority) understand or want to change things, fear will rule, and we may die out before all of this can happen anyways (Extinction Event already happening)!

Very Nice and absolutely Correct... I really think the problem is ppl, the ones in charge and the avg person, for some reason cannot see beyond what is there now, ppl are so used to money, having to buy things, "working hard", so called freedoms like freedom of travel and buying what you want, saying what You want, they cannot see other ways to do things, where there is not so much gap between the have's and have nots, and the income gap that we have today.. I used to think $25/hr was big money, now it is nothing, in Toronto You have to make $35/hr just for a basic one bedroom apartment and living expenses, just basic living, and that is a high wage here, very few are making that, min wage is $17.40/hr, so the majority are living of that, with more than one job and basically Modern Day Slaves!!! We could do much much better, as You said we have the resources to feed, clothe, house everyone, we don't because its not Profitable to Do That, which is indication of our General Consciousness level, which is very low, we are still Cave Men Consciousness wise, which is also super sad since all this time has passed...

The process of Life after Physical Death, what happens, a few things can happen! Sadhguru explains a process after death, the river test which decides what happens with disembodied being and decides next birth will happen or will they just hang around. depending on your karmic structure and karma one will either get dissolved in this pool of energy or hang around...

What is the path of Truth and Freedom according to You? And why do You have any credibility compared to Sadhguru, why believe You over him? And how is He a Fraud, show proof via verifiable information sources that are absolutely True??? I've done his programs, sat in his presence for Days, listened to others relate their experiences, used his methods and it all seems legit to me, very effective and he makes more sense than anyone here!

Love is just a sweet emotion or feeling within You, God does not Love, God is not something separate, God is Absolute, and is Everywhere... Value is also a made up thing, no other life form has this thing called Value, only we place Value on this or that, a piece of Turd or a Human Being, it comes from the Mind, which is not God or You... So forget about Value, or some God luv'g Turd like it luv's You, that does not exist... All things have Absolute within it, its just Humans have more Access to Absolute, more capabilities and realizations compared to a piece of Turd, You and others will place "Value" (a unconscious action for most) on capability and realization, that is a choice...

Money, and the idea of having more than others to make Yourself feel "Special" is out of date, no longer works and creates a situations where the majority are suffering while a very tiny few benefit as we see today in the world.. But very few can see another way to do things, all the ones that are supposedly here to help make things better, are still using the same system that has created the problems in the first place.. Our systems are such that the majority of ppl suffer whatever actions, be it corrective actions or otherwise, that come about. But we created these systems in the first place to help society function better for the masses, so its time to change things, get rid of money, capitalism, all isms, and start fresh, so everyone has a chance to live with the basics, food, shelter, clothing, and a chance to find out what we really are, not slaves to a job or corporation, just trying to keep Your head above water daily!!

Hojo has a personal problem with Sadhguru, its not about Sadhguru, its about Hojo. He sounds angry and seems to be so, claims he is not, but deep down he probably is, sounds like he fell into the trap of worshipping him, and then was disappointed by something, hence now he doesn't like him anymore, poor hojo!! Sadhguru only claims to know this life from origin to ultimate, he doesn't claim Enlightenment, and he wants to the ppl of the world to live to higher Potentials, that's it... He's not looking for worshippers imo, Christ did not invent Christianity, Buddha did not invent Buddhism, they all just shared what their experience is, and ppl followed, its the ppl afterwards that create things and then eventually distort it.. Same with Om vs AUM, if its practiced as Aaaa Uuuu Mmmm then shouldn't it be spelled that way??? Hojo represents the crazy in the world, here You have a Being trying to make things better, and he puts him down, tons of other ppl do the same in other contexts and fields of life, they can't see what is what, their blinded by their own prejudices!!!

The world the way it is now cannot sustain 10+B ppl, not with Consumerism as the basis of our Economies, that is for sure, and is why we have the problems we have. If People were more natural, didn't need things outside of themselves to feel fulfilled, etc then maybe yeah we could sustain a population that large, but not today.. The tech created won't help either if the present economic system stays the same as well as the mindset and general consciousness level of the avg person!

Interesting concept, never heard of it before, but I sort of am in that space, I have a child already that is an adult, but I do not want to bring anymore children into this messed up world, for sure, unless the are on the spiritual path from day one, they will suffer allot. The world has changed a ton since I was a kid in the 70's, and its getting worse by the year, so why bring another human to a hell hole that this place is going to be, makes no sense!

The problem with the people today is that "Group Think" or "Group Identification" is running rampant, this is what everyone is doing.. Right now in Toronto the Blue Jays may win the World Series, non fans of baseball are getting on the band wagon because its an association with something bigger than Yourself, You see a Human Being always wants to be more than what they are right now, they want unlimited Expansion, but they are all going about it the wrong way.. Everyone is in tribes, tribalism rules today, and that is why the world is so messed up, and even in Spiritual Communities this problem exists!!

No they aren't, at least they shouldn't be about what You write above.. Sanga is community, a supportive community, its not about "Group Thinking", its not about Thinking at all, and its not about Conformity, its about "hey this stuff has been around a long time and it works, try it out, and we are here to support You", via that the individual comes in contact with the Truth, which is not outside of You but is the very essence of You.. You can do it alone, but that is the slow path, it may take lifetimes (plural). I'd rather do what is proven to work in the past and make it happen within this lifetime please and thank You! As I said before too, the Tradition is not about the Truth, the Truth is found within You, and it is always there, but You don't realize it, so the Tradition (not via teachings, or scriptures, or idolizing past masters) just wipes away what is blocking you from realizing the Truth of what You Are!

I don't think You understand what Spiritual Traditions are all about.. The techniques are not it, the sadhana, the breathing, the guru's of the past, be it Buddha or a Sadhguru of today, its not about sitting in cross legged positions. People get caught up with this stuff in the west because the western mind is surface level Awareness, what it sees, hears, smells, touches and tasting is all it knows, but this is surface level Experience and Living.. True Spiritual Tradition is about Striving to Know Yourself Completely, via that You know everyone else, since we are basically all the same, but in normal existence this is not the avg persons Experience since they are not Aware enough, or their Energy is low intensity, or their Karma rules them, the Sadhana just gets rid of the shit, and that allows Awareness to rise, Energy to be Intense and Karma not to be a problem...

Concerning the "Body" only, ejaculation is healthy if its not overdone and it depends on the age too, younger guys can do it more and need to release it in a way, but the older You get the less it is needed, but yeah its a good stress reliever, its like a dose of Bliss shot into the system, so that is good for You Body wise... But we are not the Body right? So in that context it is not so good to regularly ejaculate, its better to hold it in, preserve it and then let it be transformed into something else described before in other posts, to put it simply as Spiritual Energy! Spirituality is an Existence that is above Survival level of Living, ejaculation is survival level of living, Spirituality is not. The Yogi's and Rishis knew this thousands of years ago...

Yes true, one just has to be open to it or more sensitive too it, the Temples just focus it more in that space so the less receptive ppl can feel it more!

@TheSelf Another way is to as well spend time in temples! Temples are not places of worship or prayer, they like Battery recharging stations, and Temples can be set up for different purposes, the Dylanalinga Temple at Isha is set up for Enlightenment primarily, but it can be used for other things, its is like being in presence of a living Guru, which as well is another way to enhance prana and kundalini in a safe place...

There is no precise answer! Please Tell me the totality of an Atom? You can't, know one can because know one knows, as they are always discovering new things about the atom and quantum field.. And the Atom is one of the smallest things in existence, so knowing the Whole of Existence is not possible. What's possible is being inTouch with the whole of Existence as an Experience, not a knowing... Knowing implies Intellect, MInd/Facts/Comparison btwn this and that, etc...

Existence Just Is, if You try to explain Why Existence then You have to create a Story or Philosophy that has to either be Believed In or Disbelieved In, either way, answering it gets You no closer to touching what Reality/Truth or Existence Is! IMO Existence is ultimately here for Absolute/God to know itself, via the trillions of different and unique/individual life forms and the karma that is created and situations faced by those trillions of forms..via that Absolute can know itself as Potential and Possibility, which are other words for Infinity or Eternity!

Goggins, he luv's to suffer because it enhances his Ego, if he can endure more and more suffering his ego gets bigger and that turns him on! The Monk endures suffering to conquer suffering, to go beyond it, to realize that it is the Body or Mind that is suffering, and that You/Me are neither of those things, so via suffering one learns to not have to suffer because what is You is not capable of Suffering... This suffering path is difficult and dangerous though, the Bliss path is much better and safer/smarter path!

Yes agreed, I was just relating it too siddhis. Ppl in the west bastardize everything from the east, with Tantra they think it is about Sex, but its about using it too transform, but ppl will use it for pleasure and when that happens the ability disappears! Its like the dark side of the Force lol!!!

You cannot be intouch with Truth/Reality and be in a Suffering state, so that is the logic I believe.. Just imagine if You did not suffer at all? I would imagine Enlightenment would happen pretty naturally for You!! Pain is different from Suffering, especially Self Suffering as is the case with the majority of ppl, they do it too themselves, reacting to life, not living life!

I did Security for 20+yrs, seen most everything one can see in that job, worked all sorts of public sites, hospitals, hotels, malls, etc... I trained in Martial arts, taught it too, since 1988, so even with all of that, when stuff was about to pop up of course Your peeked in adrenaline mode and ready to fight or flight, but luckily for Me nothing got too serious ever, lol, but when I got into Yoga and Spirituality yeah I didn't feel like I wanted to do that sort of work anymore, I felt like I was holding back for the other persons sake, not for mine, so that is dangerous, and since things out in the world are getting more messy and violent, ppl will stab You just for looking at them the wrong way, never mind being a security guard and they are drugged up or drunk and you have to deal with it, so for me I just got out of that sort of work because of all the crazy and my internal Experiences coming forth, it was a bad match up for sure.. Today You have to have more of a killer instinct feeling, Yeah You don't want to do it, but if it happens You go all out, and that is no fun to deal with, legally and otherwise!
