Yes for sure in many ways, but this is due to a very strong Identification with the Mind and Intellect that everyone is having in today's Societies. The Intellects main purpose is to separate or compartmentalize things so You can understand it better, so if You think this Intellect is You, then it is breaking everything and everyone down to pieces when ever there is an interaction, its analysing and reacting and such, so this is very complex and basically demoralizing to say the least, its like trying to know someone by dissecting them, it doesn't work like that.. To really know someone You have to Include them as Yourself, some form of Intimacy (not sexual) has to be formed, and once it is then the relationship gets more intense and personal and alive, if that is not present then being involved with other ppl will feel burdensome for sure!!

Because You have a Body, and Your Identified with this Body (You think this is Me), Time plays a huge factor in your life because the Body shows the effect of Time, if You dis identify with the Body then this goes away Greatly, You will still Use practical time for the purpose it serves, but will not use it when its not needed.. The past did exist but not Now, and the Future never existed, Past is realized via Memory, Future is realized via Imagination, both of these come from Your Mind, Mind is never NOW based, its past/memory or future/imagination based, so when You dis identify with the Mind, the Present Moment takes precedence and the NOW become primary and is felt more Intensely, You still use the past to become Wise (not Wounded) and the Future to imagine and plan, but You still more NOW present to experience the highest experience a Human can Feel!

I've never had a psychedelic ego death since I've never tried anything stronger than weed, but I've had a high realization of my own ego, there is a space btwn what I am (Chitta-Consciousness-Atman) and this self created (Unconsciously) personality and identity that I call Me (Ahankara - The Sense of Identity or Ego) via some teachings I've had and Sadhana practice and Self Inquiry/Contemplation... I would say what is happening with the Psychedelics Ego Death is just a glimpse of it, its like looking over the wall, and the wall is like 100' tall, its a big wall so its a long journey and your at the top looking over it, You've now had a Glimpse of the Chitta/Conscious realm, but when the drug wears off You go back to normal, the Manas/Karma kicks back in, so its not a real Ego Death but a temporary one. This is the problem with ppl that take Psychedelics without any prior training or Sadhana in their past that develops a Stable Base of Emotions and Energy, they take it and it brings them too quickly up the wall, this brings fear in their experience and at that moment of Fear they get a Glimpse of Reality and Consciousness as it Truly is, so it doesn't work, it may inspire or may destroy them, but with the Sadhana method it takes a bit longer but is way more stable..!

It comes with practice, some minds are more easily quitted, others need more time... Another approach is too turn down the volume, observer/observed sort of stuff, where You have a distinct space btwn what is Observing (You) and what is Observed (Not You). The contents of our Mind is not our choice, most of it is garbage, some of it is very useful and its working overtime in this day and age where mind identification is very high, so once a distinct space is created it won't bother You anymore and naturally Your Practice and the sense of Presence gets more intense, the thing is to stay on Track, don't keep going in different directions and starting/stopping, just stick with the practice and/or incorporate other practices that delve deep into different aspect of Yourself a bit better...

Its not really a questions of the Internet itself, its a matter of how Aware You are or how Compulsive You are, as well as how Intense are You of this very Moment and the Life within it! If You were very Aware, then nothing would bind You or no Compulsion would exist in You, You would be very Free in comparison to other Ppl, no addictions, no attachments, just here and now and very Intense about LIfe! The opposite is true if Your Compulsive so it is safe to say that the majority of the population is very compulsive.. I see this all the time, Mothers walking their children in the carriage and focused solely on their phones, heads down oblivious to their surroundings and nature in all its Beauty, I see this everywhere when ppl have nothing to do, and even while driving which is a major fine nowadays! So its all a matter of Consciousness, I will share again one of Sadhguru's shorts, he explains it perfectly in answering a question regarding Technology, it applies here to anything one is addicted too, Low Levels of Consciousness/Awareness is the fundamental reason why the ppl of the world are the way they are today!

Yes exactly, all Leo can do is tell You what he thinks, Capital has two common choices, either to Believe or Disbelieve, neither gets You anywhere, but there is a Third choice, don't do either, just find out for Oneself, via Direct Experience which is all we have, no Experience, no Life...

Very Good Analogy!! Which is more Real, the Seed or the Flower? Its a big wheel of cycles, which is what Life is, a continuous process of change and transformation, Shit turns into Fertilizer so food and flowers can grow, Grossness turns Subtle.. The problem is via our mind identity, it that Authority has become Truth, which is not so good, Leo or Sadhguru or whomever is not the Truth on the Intellectual Level, no on can tell You what TRUTH IS, Truth is the Authority, if You see the wheel, the cycles of Life as it is here, then Truth is revealed, don't go looking for it in some figure, they for sure can help, are the example, provide heat like a fire, that is why they are here, but in the end its Up to You, the Flower to sprout the Seed and see the Wheel for what it is!

That one can Live Life Blissfully, that it is possible to create the experience You want within Yourself, via the Bliss Route one will be more empowered in all areas of their life, physically, intellectually, emotionally, mentally, and it takes the Ego out of the equation for the most part, as when one is in Bliss they see the miracle of Life all around them and within themselves, this Empowers them tremendously and anyone that comes into their lives as well! First BE-->DO-->HAVE, Being is first established and realized by Being Blissful of Your Own Nature!

I remember watching a video with Dorian Yates, he was 6X Mr Olympia, and this was way after his BB career was over, he basically said it was all for Ego, the looking in the mirror, the fan appreciation and the goal of being Mr Olympia which is Egoic in nature, its not really a natural thing to want to be as big and developed as these guys are, its for sure unhealthy, and its not of their own nature to do this, its purely social or its coming from the society they live in combined with their karma and inner needs and such,,, Stallone looked up to Steve Reeves as Hercules, when he was a young Man, it inspired him since he was very scrawny as a young man and didn't have many good role models at home, actually it was very bad for Stallone at home, so he used his imagination in a huge way, it got him where he is and was today, the body icon and inspiration we think of him as, but its socially manufactured I would say 100%, the internal inspiration and such as I said before is mostly inborn within us as a Desire to Expand and Be more than What we are today..how that manifests is completely unique but its influenced and conditioned by our environments! BB I would say when its done to an extreme is unhealthy for us overall, in moderation it is fine and healthy for the body to have stress laid upon it, but looking in the mirror, and constantly comparing your body to others is not so healthy!

The pushing past limits and such, is just another example of Desire process. Whatever label you attach to it, Ambition, Greed, Conquest, Success, Wanting More, etc,,,if you go to the root of it all its about Being More than What You are Right Now, it just manifests differently in ppl depending on many factors... The only problem is a matter of Awareness of it, if Your UnAware then it may be destructive to you (see modern day Ronnie Coleman, can't walk, in constant pain, etc), but if You can Joyfully accept the consequence then do whatever it is, but it may also be destructive to those around you or on a larger scale (see Putin), so in some sense there is a Good and Bad evaluation here, it depends on how on contextualizes it! If Your Aware of this wanting to be More/Desire process, then for sure You will do what is best for You and all around You! Like Technology, none of it is disempowering for You, it is your Awareness level regarding how to use it..Your Karma is that Life is Your Making, take Response Ability for Everything and life Transforms!

Yes Totally:)

I don't think we should be too concerned with how the Universe or Existence Started or how it may End, and this thing about being Nothing or Something always, its something we won't ever know and why do we need to know! Yes for sure we are Infinite Intelligence, its in every cell in our bodies and every cell in existence, we just have to realize for ourselves, this is what Transformation is all About!

Its a very good channel, have watched many episodes and the host seems Authentic and has a different sort of approach on things, high quality channel imo:)

Just thought to share this interesting interview, its with Bhavesh Bhimanathani a Teacher of sorts that I've never heard of, but when it popped up on my Utube I watched and it was interesting, its most everything to do with Hindu Spirituality, very similar to Yoga methods! In this he talks about= -Death, what is beyond -Lokas or other realms of existence - Karma, what it means -Deities what are they and how we can use them -Sadhana, Spiritual practices and such -Enlightenment, what is it and how to get there. lots more..

Yes..There are two types of Karma, Prarabdha and Sanchita, Prarabdha is the whole warehouse of Karma built up for all the lifetimes per say, Sanchita is the allotted karma for this lifetime, if You burn thru the Sanchita this lifetime, you still have to deal with the rest of it, so another lifetime/rebirth will happen, and there is still the karma that is being created right now via all the actions taking place each day,,so its complex..That is why Bliss path is good, if Your naturally Blissful your "What about Me" is lessened or gone, then no more new karma is created.. With Mahasamahdi one burns it consciously thru Sadhana mostly, Sadhguru's wife did this, so that means in a way there is no more karma to deal with, no more Individual Identity at all, the drop in the ocean goes back into the Ocean...

What I find funny is that ppl accuse Sadhguru of beating around the bush, not giving details and such things,,, It all right here, very detailed, very simple to understand, and he relates in modern day language... Pretty easy to understand what is going on.. Desire is here withn Us, like Hunger and the Will to Survive another day, its just that Desire is at another level of Awareness, when You fix Survival Desire will manifest in another way, just see anyone that gets rich or success, does that complete their life? No they want to be more, that is Desire.. The Ultimate Desire is to be Boundless, Absolutely Free, this is very hard to do when there is a Body and Mind Complex to deal with and the Karmic substance mixed into it, so Moksha is Liberation, bursting of the Bubble, most do not want this, they just want a Happy and Healthy Life, it may go on like that, then You die and come back a bit more inline with the Moksha theme...

Yes, for us here as Human, we think we are the lining of the bubble (karmic substance, thoughts/thinking, body, everything we have accumulated) but we are the air inside, so once the bubble is burst (Enlightenment) that is it for individuality, The video I just watched this morning, they talk about Lokas, or other realms, there is a realm where Rishis are, Enlightened being like Sadhguru that were here but are now there, but in these other lokas/realms time/space continuum is different, so its complex as is with everything in existence, all we can do is become more Conscious within ourselves and live to our highest possiblity, if that doesn't bring about Moksha in this life, it will help us in the next one and so forth, living a life of suffering and destruction is not good for us here or there!

I posted a thread today about Hindu and everything spiritual, they talk alot about what happens at Death in Detail.. With Sadhguru he doesn't like to talk about things that are not in ppl's experience, but he wrote a whole Book on Death, so its there..Basically if You get to Moksha, there is not individuality left behind, you merge with the Absolute, so that is Enlightenment, he says most that get Enlightened at the same moment they leave the body and merge, but there seems to be realms above this one, he doesn't talk about those too much, but others do. The whole game of it is too stop the Dying and Rebirth cycle, allot of this has to do with Karma, which is the residual effect of all the actions you performed in the past lives times and this one, there are lots of actions You are performing right now that are unconscious too You, if You gain higher Consciousness then You dissolve all Your karma and are Enlightened, only the Masters can stay behind to do some work here...

Thanks.. There's allot of repetitive threads going on, and this is just not about this forum, ppl throughout the ages have been asking the same questions, putting up the same discontentment's, arguments, the difference is we are super spoiled today and we don't realize it, this is on some fronts the greatest time to be alive since most everything is already provided, those that are not provided for its not because we cannot provide for them, its because we don't have the Care in our Hearts to do so, and its not profitable, but because of all of this, we have forgotten all the already Established and Proven ways to live to our higher Potential, and try to do it ourselves because we think we are so smart lol, just start doing some Yoga, You will find it and be that much better for it...

Memory fading is actually a gift of sorts, but as with everything (Duality which is actually Oneness) its a dbl edged sword.. Again no one mentions Free Will, Choice, Determination, Response Ability, You have this, but very few exercise it because they are not Aware of it, they look outside themselves (Drugs, Sex, Psychedelics experiences, etc) for an Experience to give hope or distract from Suffering.. Only those that are Suffering are here I think, and post what You posted above, those in Bliss are not really posting here and do not post these sorts of posts, so its a reflection of that.. Anyways, if You remembered all Your Lives, then it would burden You too much, since this one life is already probably doing that (if not You then it has for many), so its Life's way of starting from Scratch in a way, you still have all the tendencies that remain from the previous ones, but You can start absolutely fresh, and be a Fresh Life, that is our Choice and is available to All who Seek it!

Why is Existence Looking upon itself? Why is Mind reflecting upon itself? We use different words to describe the samething, but there is an underlying question! Its great to realize that something is reflecting something, but How and Why? Its Existence/Mind/Consciousness/Absolute via Experience and Expression knowing about itself I would say, we here are just One way that this is happening, in an Infinite Universe as we are living in (we know not where the Beginning is, nor where the End is) this has to be the case, we cannot be the only ones in the entirety of it all, but there is a Matrix set up, boundaries are here, Duality is here, as if no boundaries are present, then no Experience or Expression can happen hence no way for Absolute to know itself.. Can Absolute know itself in Absolute without Experience and Expression (in all the Trillions of ways just on this planet alone, never mind the entire Cosmos)?? Please if You know how share:)

This concept of Synchronicity is akin the the concept of Inclusiveness or Oneness, if everything in a fundamental aspect is One and Inclusive (including all) then it is automatically in Sync with one another, as mentioned before we just can't perceive due to too much thinking (survival instinct gone wild via our intellects) and our identification with it (I think/believe this is Me). Simple example, the tree is half of Your lungs, no trees, no 02 no air no way to breath...so everything is like this.. If You eat Food, where does Food come from? The Earth right, so Your Body is just a Food/Earth Body, do You know this? No Food=No Body, so Your intimately connected to the Earth, but don't know this via the above identification problem.. All of the above is happening in millions and billions of ways every moment of everyday of Your Life, within You and outside of You, something is monitoring this complex system of sorts, its a Grand Intelligence, far beyond anything we can think of or conceive of. Why is it you weigh roughly the same everyday, why is gravity as we know it consistent as it is?? We as Humans can come intouch with this Intelligence and live to a higher Potential via the Experience of being Intouch with it, that is Spirituality in a nut shell...

@Vercingetorix Yes it is! First it sets up a Separation of sorts, btwn You and what is Creation and all the Intelligence and Beauty that is behind that, it makes the connection to it seem that much further away, in reality it is all within YOU, its just a matter of seeking to find it and getting over this super strong Survival Mechanism/Ego complex that we have ingrained within Us. Second, it may make You shift Responsibility for Your Life to something else, this is very dangerous, You are the Only one Responsible for Your Life, Your Karma is Your Making, Karma is not reward or punishment system, Karma is like the Software in a computer, You have not consciously programed it to do what You want, so in essence life is being lived by accident, when You added the element of Consciousness, then control and Free Will come back into Your Life, Your destiny is now in Your Hands, How You want to be within Yourself is up to You, not someone else or some Entity elsewhere..
