How to be wise

@phoenix666 what is your purpose for doing Kriya yoga?

@cle103 she is clearly wrong about Kriya yoga. It has been practiced for more than a hundred years by some very hardcore people with no problems being mentioned. As for psychedelics, shamans have been taking psychedelics for millennia. Had psychedelics been dangerous, they wouldn’t have continued using it for this long. You’re teacher sounds inexperienced. As for her ‘presence’, if you believe that she is someone very special, your mind will create a feeling of her superiority. When you’re in a no-mind state, it’s not possible to feel someone’s ‘presence’ because you hold no belief that they are any different from you. My adive: become an independent thinker. Don’t trust any person too much. Investigate within yourself where her ‘presence’ is coming from. You might come to realise that you in fact were creating her ‘presence’.

I’ve done quite a lot of research on communicating with deities, but found no tangible information. Can somebody give me a link to a book or videos which talks about the method of communicating with deities.

@Prabhaker wow the prices for these books are simply unbelievable! ?

@Leo Gura do you think ‘dr Phil’ show is orange or green?

@TheSomeBody The Work of Byron Katie

@TheSomeBody no I haven’t. I’m pursuing my goal of enlightenment with another technique.

@Leo Gura You said that stage turquoise incorporates non-duality. But according to Ken Wilber, ‘growing up’ is more or less independent from ‘waking up’. In an interview he said that one can be in the highest stage of ‘growing up’ without ever having an enlightenment experience. What are your thoughts on this matter?

@Rebec if you don’t know what you want, why even look at sadhguru’s course or anything else. First you must ‘figure out’ what you want from life. Only then can you make the right choice about what to do. A general in a battlefield who has no goal will get his men killed.

@TheSomeBody if you mean the life purpose course, I’m still doing it. It takes a few months to work through the whole thing.

@Leo Gura @Joseph Maynor what about Oprah Winfrey show? What stage is that?

@Leo Gura you said earlier that 9/11 firefighters where stage blue. What made you think that?

@White I’ve been doing it for three months. Due to working through so many worksheets, these days I live a significant part of my life being aware of the difference between my thoughts about the situation, and the situation itself. This creates a feeling of bliss on those occasions. About a fifth of the day, I live without any mental chatter. My chronic anxiety that I used to have just three months ago is gone. I have more energy. I sleep less (I waste less energy stressing out). Most importantly, I’m disidentifying from my body. That’s just my progress in three months. In the past I’ve done self inquiry for three full months, and Kriya yoga for another three and a half months. The results I’ve obtained from The Work have very clearly surpassed both techniques combined. If you want to see it working on other people:

@d0ornokey any situation that you are uncomfortable about even in the slightest enters the worksheet and is worked through. In the end, you will be a walking Buddha. @White Don’t underestimate it. Out of all the techniques I’ve encountered, The Work is by far the most powerful. It’s working for many other people as well.

@Leo Gura how do you access infinite intelligence? You’re holding back on that one. When will you reveal it? At least put some books on your book list about it.

@Rebec bad strategy.

@Joseph Maynor Lol, mike pence has been known to kiss Trump’s ass. Very obedient man. Watch this video it’s very funny! ?

@Rebec what is your goal with sadhguru ‘s online course?

@TheSomeBody you will do better looking at Leo’s booklist.

@Bryan Lettner if you relapse, then you pick yourself up afterwards. Simple as that.

@Hansu The reason you can’t look upon reality without thoughts is because you’re attached to thoughts! So to unattach yourself from those thoughts, you need to inquire into them. Once you’ve inquired into thoughts for a few months, your mind will naturally let go of them. Then you can live the rest of your life in the present moment.

The classic shoes thrown at Bush video:

@Leo Gura You said in your blog that homosexuality is a new topic. But the Quran also denounces homosexuality, and talks about the punishment received by the people of Lot for being gay. An angel grabbed the land they were on, flied with it, then dropped it upside down onto the ocean. Homosexulaity is an old topic.

Deep stuff to contemplate “Reality is not an event. It cannot be experienced. For reality neither comes nor goes.”

Nisargadatta: “The absolute doesn’t know itself at all.” ”Beingness is the child of no beingness, the absolute.” ”Something prior to the creation of the body knows that there is a body.” “When you did not have the body, complete satisfaction existed.” ”The arrival of my beingness without my knowing constitutes my parents.” ”The one who observes the being and no being state is the true state.”
