How to be wise

@Outer I wonder if a pen exists when you’re not looking at it.

@Nahm honestly I don’t understand when people say ‘there is only being’. What is being? And don’t expect me to understand ‘god, superposition, nothingness.’ Please talk from your own direct experience using only your words. @Truth Addict but did it really happen? I’m starting to doubt it did.

@Nahm are you saying that what I’m seeing right now is not true.

@Nahm if the present does not exist then what are you and I experiencing? @Truth now is what I’m experiencing all the time. ‘2 seconds ago’ is just an image in my mind. @Truth Addict ‘the past happened in the past’, is that true?

@Ether @aurum @YaNanNallari @dorg @Faceless @Viking @Joseph Maynor @vanish Vsauce also talks about this:

@Faceless Do you also think that the past didn’t actually happen?

@vanish how do you determine if something is true? What is your criteria?

@Ether meditation is what led me to this doubt. I’m not really ‘thinking’ about this too much. I’m consciously aware right now that I have direct experience only of the present, and all my notions of the past are thoughts in my mind happening right now. So I just consciously asked, did those images about yesterday actually happen? Are they true? @vanish but all notion of the past is coming from your memories. Can you show me any proof that 1 hour ago actually existed?

In that shopping video, Leo lists the top five problems as: wheat, dairy, corn, soy and artificial ingredients. And yet, he missed the most dangerous food of all: fast food. Fried chicken, fries and cheeseburgers are the cause of most obesity in the world. And yet, according to Dr Leo, if you stop eating wheat and sugar, gaining weight will be very hard. I would suggest that you stick with the advise given by doctors and well known health professionals, for your own very safety.

@MM1988 an addict can’t stop his addiction even though they usually want to. If this guy was enlightened, he didn’t even want to stop drinking. Becoming enlightened makes you care less about the body.

@MM1988 they are not addicted to alcohol. They drink it for fun. They can stop anytime they want. Alchohol addicts can’t.

@Shakazulu have you seen Leo’s blog video?

@d0ornokey the book ‘Loving What Is’

@robdl we’re not talking about being ‘content’. We’re talking about making the prison cell into paradise. Imagine that!

@egoless This is literally what the people who did ‘The work’ said. But this technique is little known about. If more people knew it, emotional mastery would be a very common thing. Check out Byron Katie’s YouTube channel or website for more info. Also her book ‘Loving What Is’.

It is said that kechari mudra will sky rocket your pranayama and meditation practices. But how long does it take to achieve? I’ve been doing talabya Kriya for three months with little results. Is it necessary for success in yoga?

@MM1988 It’s not dangerous. It’s just breathing! Why do you want to do alternate nostril breathing if you won’t do yoga. It won’t have many benefits. If you’re not going to do yoga, then don’t do it!

I was wondering what it would be like if you were given the chance to be permanently tripping on 5 meo dmt. How significant would that be? Would anymore self-actualisation work need to be done? Is there anyone alive today or ever who has had that ability?

If you want results from meditation, this is the best you can hope for:

@Leo Gura he gave a long explanation why he thinks that book is not good. I don’t know, but it was pretty convincing.

@Leo Gura in the book ‘Kriya yoga exposed’, the author reveals a secret Kriya technique which no Kriya guru has ever mentioned. It will take you straight to Sahaja samadhi. Worthwhile to check out. Also he reviews most of the Kriya gurus and their way of teaching, including the book that you recommend. Unfortunately, he didn’t give that book a very good review. A lot of the techniques in the book you recommended are flat out wrong according to him.

@Leo Gura but isn’t the consciousness level you receive from 5 meo different from that of mushrooms and dmt. Are you saying that those other psychedelics don’t give you an experience of total enlightenment?
