@Ishanga Why tell that story? Does it empower learning? What do listeners get out of such a video? Yes, I was mostly referring to Sadhguru's miscellaneous videos instead of the ones on lifestyle and "spirituality". Overall, his work seems to benefit people, so no problem with that. What is communication? Could be a topic for personal reflection.

For you, it is just a rumour, whether you find the story and its author appealing or not. You might as well tell him to record it before believing in it.

Sharing stories isn't getting an experience across. Banana is not a good pointer to the absolute, nor to "apple".

@Keryo Koffa okay, thank you.

The accuracy of the pointer matters.

What does this mean?

Season 2 is better, though.

Either a bug or unquoting on phone isn't available.

To start with, it'd be useful to become aware of your disposition: What am I feeling right now? What is my attitude and mood at the moment? Is it possible that I somehow generate my own emotional state and overall experience? Is it caused by the current circumstances? Can you create excitement? Intent to do that as a real event with no external stimuli pushing you to react accordingly.

@Ishanga These videos are fine–giving advice on lifestyle. Promoting "faith" is the issue.

Celebrimbor has something to say to the haters of RoP:

Sadhguru keeps talking about weird shit occasionally. Are you just going to take his word at face value?

The cost of honesty.

@Something Funny Fellowship? Yeah, I like LOTR, especially Return of the King. And don't kill me, but I'm also fond of Rings of Power.

By emotion, do you mean excitement?

Discipline is producing an outcome that wouldn't naturally come about as a result of your already established drives.

@mattm33 @Nemra

There's a meme right there.

It depends on how you hold the distinctions. Simply, if you do it, intent has occurred. No emotional component is necessary.

Breaking Bad? You should watch it first.

I wouldn't think of transcending suffering and becoming awakened to one's nature as necessarily the same pursuit. They may complement and empower each other, though. Other than that, if it is coming from some sort of real insight or breakthrough, then I'd say it is solid.

CINEMA

Direct experience and it is not a method nor path. If you'd like "difurcations", the second best is likely the true spirit of zen, which is the most barebones, aiming for a direct realization now.

That such a community exists or can exist is already debatable.

I stumbled upon it yesterday. Looks promising.
