Ishanga

The most wonderful thing in life is that your still alive today right now, via that everything else comes into existence within Your own Experience of it. When dead most of this is gone, at least how it works out in this physical dual realm, the afterlife can be hell or heaven, depends on many aspects!

I remember watching his first few videos, he was giddy, like vibrating on the screen, like he could barely contain the energy and experience he was going thru, of course we learn to calm this and integrate it within our daily lives, he seems like he knows what he is talking about Experientially, not sure if the semi fame and fortune has gone to his head though, time will tell!

May this be a further inspiration for all,”

Oh yes for sure, I've heard him talk about some very esoteric things, and in the Mystic Musings book too, but I don't think he likes to talk about it generally..

Chapple served as master of ceremonies for the evening. Pratima and Navin Doshi’s remarks opening the ceremony praised Sadhguru for his social revitalization, education, and environmental work through which millions of people have been given the means to overcome poverty, improve their quality of life, and achieve community-based sustainable development.

Dr Gabor Mate, world wide recognized expert on Addiction, Trauma and such things, He does Shambhavi Mahamudra, and has done the Inner Engineering course, he was skeptical, then found out!

aren't You the one using lsd regularly and other things, aren't these things illegal? Define criminal, whos the criminal first You or Sadhguru...

his wife did it, and there are other witness to it, so what to do about it when ppl inquiry what happened to Your 30yr old something wife with a young child??? Lol, do You think things through, or do You think You know exactly how people should live and act and be and that they should do exactly what You think is right? Are You sure you have control of your Ego, this is the basic thing to do first, have you even done that, and if not why should anyone listen to You??

This is common, many killers and criminals of all types have women sending luv letters and them getting married to them while they are in prison, Yes its just a signal of how fucked ppl can get, there is a point where it comes down to what a person does does affect how You view them and want to relate to them, I would not be or fall in love with a women that committed murder in cold blood or things of this nature like professional criminals that feed of the weak...

Where is this coming from, giving Will how and why? He's all about You the individual rising in Consciousness, he offers many ways to do this, one does not need to be in his presence or come to the ashram (hence the online programs), one does not have to go any further than the basic Kriya he offers, which is free and available to anyone to use, he offers more than this, so all the options are there, it depends on what One wants out of it, just basic wellbeing or to go all the way..as I said, which You found offensive, was that he actually holds ppl back before they go all the way and dissolve out of this realm completely, so that we the ppl can benefit from having them here on the planet and balancing things out and helping on many levels, and plus for sure he doesn't want ppl dissolving at the ashram that would cause too much drama and name calling and such things...

I don't like the terminology "Loving Yourself", but if by meaning feeling Love, then Yes, when Your feeling Love, then everything You do is Easier, and everything about You, your Body, Mind, Emotions, Intellect etc is enhanced by feeling Love/Bliss, this is proven, and it gives You Clarity and depresses the Ego or keeps it in balance.. The idea is to be "Meditative", as meditation is not an action, its an Experience, but as I said before eveything is a Sadhana in a way, Living Now absolutely, not being ruled by memory or imagination is a Sadhana, and that can be done anytime doing anything, but it won't take You all the way generally, other things have to be done, Kundalini has to rise and such, but one's karmic makeup may determine that and how it works out!!

I can see this for sure, I don't really watch much of Sadhguru's videos anymore, I've seen them all and it becomes repeated after awhile, I've heard all the stories and jokes and the basics.. and from what I can tell this is planned out to be this way as You describe, its done on purpose... If You want the more indepth stuff, there are Sadhanapada programs, and such where Your 24/7 in Sadhana mode at the ashrams, and he is different they say in advanced programs, but yes there is lots of marketing going on, this is needed to change and maybe transform this world from where it is now!

I don't think he said it was a simple transition, before responsibility come Living Now and how past/future is in reality memory and imagination both of which are false realities, then about Acceptance, he talks about that, he says this moment is inevitable, it cannot be any other way, via that understandings one can decrease their stress response, so that sooner or later there is no possible Stress Response in a person, but it takes work, and from all of that Responding become natural, its quite simple and brilliant at the same time...he covers the whole realm of Spiritual Science, but he says not too make it a study or subject matter, doing that will destory it, just use this stuff as tools, to grow each day little by little,,

Resource Based Economy for sure!! I handle it decent, I do preventative stuff daily, much more than before, before I would stretch and workout not just for health but for martial arts purposes and looks, now I don't workout at all, my job is very active, I walk min 10km a day, and up and down and lifting and moving, so that is enough for me, I do 2 stretching routines in the morning, one at home and one at work, short ones, and I use tens machines and chiropractor to help with deeper problems,,, I injest vit D3, vit C, Calcium/Mag/Zinc on the regular, my diet is the worst part of my routine, but I have good genetics, I'm naturally small boned and thin.. I would have liked a few more years of physical youth, most ppl think I am in my late 30's when they meet me, when I say I am 56 they are shocked, probably because I have no grey hairs yet:)

ppl respond to small things, things that they like and dislike, and small communities like their family, friends, social network or favorite hockey team,, its okay but limited to live this way, if You respond to everything that comes into Your Life, then Your Inclusive in Nature, that is Oneness... when You respond to limited things, then Your Exclusive and that is Separateness..

lol until You too luv birds have another fight, then it all goes out the window like it did a couple of months ago, he was praising You, then You put him down in a post and then all he said was that You need more work, and bla bla bla, it was like watching a bunch of bums on the street fighting about a match stick, its too crazy around here at times..that is why i come and go, not here all day debating nothing that means really nothing..
