Exactly! but he seems to think I don't know what I am talking about it, so therefore I must be nuts to not think Solipsism is the way to be, lol..again if Your the only one in existence. why are you on this forum, and whom are you asking??? Its complete Nut cases and crazy, this is why the world is so nuts and chaotic, in millions of different way ppl are perceiving life in there stupidest ways imaginable, if the is a God we need his help fast lol...

Nice fairy tail lol..Time to get back to Earth, this sort of ideology although true on a Absolutist (see Princess Arabia) level, can be dangerous if not integrated properly when here. You see we have this thing called Language, it allows us to communicate on a basic level, within that language we have labels and names for specific things, Guru is one kinda label, it means dispeller of darkness, it indicates that that person (in the human context) has a higher level of consciousness as to what reality is, compared to other Humans, they are like the fire that warms us when cold, so not everyone is the Guru, you are not the Guru, Your taking the Absolutist level of Understanding and Awareness and trying to apply it here on this Relative level on Planet Earth, which is Dual in nature, the Guru helps us go beyond this perception and find out we can access the Absolute level in Experience but still function if we choose to here on the Dual plane... You on this relative plane are not the only one in existence but the Ego luvs this and it makes the person feel superior and happy in a way when they think this way... If you were truly on the level of Absolute in Experience You wouldn't need psychedelics and such to get there, and imo your attitude would be much different...

Leo looks down on most of us and newbies or ppl that don't know what we are talking about in regards to Consciousness and what it all means, so he probably noticed it but for him its like looking at a kids scribbling on a chalk board, who cares eh...

It can be if they use if for that purpose, but for most "fighters" they just use it too developed bigger ego's and such, but they do get humbled in some way but only by those that are superior fighters in their individual experience.. True Humbleness is when a very good fighter (like Adam Chan above) doesn't use his skills in a situation when he knows the other guy doesn't stand a chance, but he bows out to literally save the other guys ass from a huge beating. Most fighters will not do this, they will fight to prove a point and that is basically Ego.. Bruce Lee had a huge Ego, even though he followed Kristnamurti and his ways, most in the context of how Bruce looked at learning Martial Arts, but he very egoic and would fight at the drop of a hat to prove a point...

my post was nothing compared to the one You started that got locked!

sounds like a dictatorship lol, very good for the spiritually minded and those looking for the end of suffering to follow the dictator and his ways:)

Oh No another one lol... First, if Your a Solipsist, who are you asking for opinions from? I thought being a Solipsist means Your the only one in existence? Where is the logic here????? Second to even think or understand life that Your the only one in existence and imagining up everything else, including me, this is like the dictator that is takes over his own country and is looking to expand his empire for his own needs and takes over other countries, does this sound familiar, isn't this happening in this very day and age?? The Nariscisst luv's this, everythng is about me, and everything around me is made up by me and it gives Your Ego a big boost in confidence and can give you maybe a sense of wellbeing in the beginning I would imagine, since I've never followed this method or ever would!

You admire him too much, what I see You doing with Leo is what You see me doing with Sadhguru, Sadhguru at least has 30+yrs of proof that he is what he says he is, Leo just has a bunch of video's and what he says here on the forum, he hasn't made any real changes in the world on a practical level, Sadhguru has (Rally for Rivers, Cauvery Calling, Conscious Planet/Save Soil, Action for Rural Rejuvenation, Isha Leadership Academy, Inner Engineering Course, Isha Vidhya (isha schools), Isha Gramostovam (celebraton of rural life in India), Prison programs in USA and India, Youth and Truth movement, Isha Samskriti, Tsunami Relief and Rehab, etc etc etc...), so there is no comparison btwn the Two, if You give this list and get someone objective to compare the two and what they have done on the Spiritual stage and Social stage, they will see what is the Truth and who is what they say they are, Leo is of no comparison, not even in the same league!!!

Here Adam does a Q&A for the ppl signed up for his free QiGung course, super valuable advice.. 1) Practice is more imporant than anything, no matter if Your in pain or not, if you don't practice consistently (this is discipline) then it won't work for U! 2) Find a method that works for You, experiment, some methods just resonate more than others, do some research and find what works for You. 3) Everything start from where Your At, baby steps first then go for the end game but You can't get to the End Game on day 1!

I'm interested in someday for sure trying psychedelics, but for now it is not available for me to do so, and I don't think its is a true way to know, is a supplement of sorts but one needs to have stability first naturally and/or via a method that one can use to get their naturally, once that is established then one can go the dmt route and see...Just look at Your hero Leo, you think he is in a stable condition and knows what reality and truth are? I do not think he does, he's not close IMO....

I'm not looking for that sort of Truth first off, I'm looking to establish my Bliss first, I can only go by what feels right...Leo's approach is knowing based which is false, we cannot know reality completely so its a lost path, I can know Bliss, from there I will naturally find Truth, no need to go elsewhere...

This is the problem with Leo's approach, all one has to do is look at Leo himself and see if it works? It doesn't seem to be working for him, he seems miserable, unhealthy and angry or very emotional, so that is the result for the most part generally if people follow his ways... I follow mostly Sadhguru's ways, I do research others, they have similar programs but his seems to speak to me in a way, and his methods and techniques work and are very effective.. I would say generally for the masses, is basic programs (Isha Kriya, and Inner Engineering programs) are Bliss based programs, you start from where you are at, not this Absolutists, solipsism approach which I think is very disempowering and will lead you to what You are going thru...With Sadhguru, he teaches you on many levels, but in essence and imo you learn how to not activate the Stress Response Fight or Flight response in your system, you become naturally Peaceful and Happy, and even Blissful for no reason, then from this baseline point you begin to explore more Potential in Life and go from there... Try it first with Isha Kriya, its free and easy 12 min practice...

Yes, but then all of what You have wrote is dogma too, if I collect every post you have written and put it in a book, what is so different from what Sadhguru is doing? Why would I read Your book over his? You say I should go read someone elses work? I have lol, i've researched many paths, on a logical intellectual level, what Sadhguru says still makes more sense and his practices are effective... If you do not see this point I am going to make right now then you never will, I've been saying this here for a long time, "We are not Talking about Spirituality, Truth, Reality, Infinity, God, Absolute, in a direct way, we are talking around it, it is like we are looking at a pool of water and imagining ourselves swimming in it, but in reality we are not Swimming at all, as we are not in the pool! So it is like this here, all this writing and talking and debate means very little, it can only inspire that is all.."

This is common among Ppl, they like the Sleep state of more than the waking state because in waking state everything is bit more real and its mostly about Suffering, we've developed a Society where the majority are suffering being spokes in wheels of having to endure situations that we don't want to be in, while a small minority benefit from it, so dream state is much more appealing than waking state since dreams for the most part are more pleasant!

If this is so, why did I start a thread on Adam Chan and Daoism/Qi Kung and try to focus ppl in a method of that nature? If I am so into Sadhguru (which is okay as he is a top level source of how to evolve and live to higher Potentials), why would I share Adam Chan's stuff, why would he even register on my radar? You do the Shambhavi right, how do You do that, claim its powerful and then put the man the created it down, none of it makes any sense, and then You want me to follow your Truth and get into it, same with crazy Davino, why would I follow Your examples, you haven't shown me a reason too in any way, no one here has really, especially Leo, for me he is one of the worst examples of someone to follow or really listen too...

Your Forgetting I'm GOD, what is there to do or know when I am GOD! My recommendation is that You all do You All, I'll do Me, don't worry about Me, just worry about Yourself and Your own lives, helpful tips here and there are okay, but don't try to change anyone, just for the most part concern Yourselves on your own stuff when someone obviously is not willing to take your advice! I'll probably stop posting here soon, its getting to become a negative aspect of my life experience, this happens on all the forums, ppl getting into clicky groups and gang up on others that are different, plus this place repeats itself too much...

Oh My your worse off than I thought, feeling sorry for You man, hope You come back to earth someday...

On a Basic Level I agree with You! But where I live to have to go to another store to shop and to be very picky and choose what companies I will support and not support because they are adding to the destruction of the planet or whatever, its just too much really.. I have a hard enough time getting thru a day at work, I'm mentally and physically exhausted, and getting around Toronto is the worst, traffic here is the most frustrating thing, I Know this sounds like a little thing, but it reality it is not, this city is so congested and full of construction and lack of space and such that just living here makes one exhausted on many levels, I'm not able to do my practices because of this, I can't do proper Shambhavi Mahamudra practice and asanas when I'm tired mentally/physcially, it won't work that way.. So I try to make my life less and less complicated, by picking and choosing how I bank, where I shop and such activities, although I agree with the idea of it, its not practical for me in this situation and moving away for now is not a choice..

I think the Momentum is already swing so strongly in the direction of things getting worse overall on all levels of Society on a World Scale that there is no much anyone can do, be it the President of the USA or anyone really, the world is very Insane, but this Insanity is considered Normal and it therefore accepted wholeheartedly, I'm a part of this insanity too, but at the least I know that, many many do not, that is the whole point of Spiritual Paths, to get us out of this situation and on a path of Possibility and Potential, but I don't see much hope for this world, we think we are doing better but i just don't see it, where I live things are getting worse (Toronto Canada) on a weekly basis..

Don't Talk about Enlightenment, there are no Enlightened Beings posting here, so how do You talk or discuss something that You have no experienced... There are allot of Awakened People, yes for sure that is why we are all here, something has woken up within Us and we are curious to share and learn, this is all good, but when You talk about things that are not in your experience and above Your level of Awareness it leads You to develop Belief Systems within, identifying with Ideologies and this is not the way imo.. The way has already been firmly established long before any of Us were born, find one that works for You and Your unique Karma and such, follow it and a quality Guru and Your on Your Way.. First get Happy naturally, then talk about other levels of Awareness and Enlightenment, if the Happiness part is not settled then your not even at 0 so no point in discuss level 10 when Your below 0

I take the elections seriously when it is time to vote, for Us here in Canada our national election is next Year... But to discuss it like it is done here to Death, its overboard... I am up on World Events and Situations, I have many sources I refer to in that manner, so I know what is going on in Europe, Asia, Middle East and so forth, but in the end I as an individual cannot do anything about it, my vote and for whomever won't change a thing, the system we are involved with is very corrupt and dysfunctional on all levels, our Governments, Financial, Educational, and Health care systems are Dysfunctional, and talking about it and debating about it what to do won't change it.. This idea that my power lies in my vote and my voice is false, nothing has changed, only a grand catastrophe of sorts will make change Unfortunately, until then my main concern is my own Awareness, Health and Security and that of my Family...

almost half way there boys, keep it up, in record time too, lol...

Yes, every few weeks a stupid Solipsism post will pop up, its ground hog day around here for sure!

So just to logically break this down and show You and others the problems, You say everything is God/Absolute, this I can agree with, on a Fundamental Level this is True, but Sadhguru cannot lead me to God, he's a recognized Guru, You have more intuition than him and think Leo is more capable, Lol, okay now I really know where we stand:) This is complete Delusion but that is okay, to each their own...:)

You call me Sick, and this sort of stuff will go on and on, while the rest of the world is just struggling to survive! What is sick is that the real attention is not on what it should be, saving this world from basic suffering issues that can be solved because we have the ability and technology to do it, we just don't have the Will or Awareness to do It! Profit and Power always Wins today, at the expense of the masses, that is what is Sick!
