@RedLine https://www.shinzen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/FiveWaystoKnowYourself_ver1.6.pdf This will give you a great overview of his practice.

@CVKBT It will definitely clear a lot of misconceptions about what Tantra, Yoga, Kundalini is etc. Wallis has a great youtube channel as well with a lot of valuable information. Once you start to study this stuff you see that so much have come from Tantra, and that Kriya Yoga has a strong Tantrik foundation. Wallis has a youtube series going through all of the verses of an early Tantrik scripture (from the Trika lineage) called Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. It was an esoteric text written probably in the 9th century that has a lot of Tantra Yoga techniques in it. Here (and perhaps in even earlier Tantrik texts) you first start to see the mentions of a central channel, side channels, chakras etc. His book/commentary on the Recognition Sutras is also highly recommended. These Tantrik masters had such quality teachings that they feel really fresh, open and alive even today imo.

@Leo Gura Thanks Leo. Both your latest video (especially the part about love) and this Shunyamurti video has been tremendously helpful and perfectly timed. I am using my time off work (due to corona) spending a huge majority in silence with no external stimuli. Love you.

@Pacific Sage Thanks for sharing

@Guillem12 If Sadhguru said it is useless to learn yoga from a book then Sadhguru is wrong.

@UNZARI Hey. Sorry if this is going off topic but it's very interesting the way you are living. I remember seeing a documentary called Off The Grid: Life on the Mesa some years ago. How does the free food work? What are your obligations to this town so that you can get free food, water and shelter?

Yatzy

Hehe

I have been eating meat the last 4-5 years and have been sick for 0 days. Must be the meat. Wonderful logic, right?

@Leo Gura So what you are saying is I am imagining you completely. There is no your POV and my POV existing simultaniously and overlapping eachother. Because if there were Leo's POV I would have to be aware of it since I am God, and therefore absolutely omniscient. All you are is a sophisticated character I have dreamed up doing all this deep work that is helping me become aware of what I am?

Lol. Hope the Isha kool-aid was yummy

@Galyna Lol the 2008 financial crisis is childs play compared to the consequences of this. Not even in the same ball park. People seem to have an idea that we will close down society and when it is safe to go out we will carry on business as usual. We will likely see a collapse of the whole economical system. It has happened before and now it is happening again. Old structures are wiped out and better structures will be built. Without Order nothing can exist, without Chaos nothing can evolve Civilization is so frail that it can't handle a lockdown for more than a couple of months. We need something better.

@The Blind Sage

@The Blind Sage You watch your fucking tone (love you too btw)

@Arnold666 You disagree that I don't need to calm prana without having "bad experiences"? Same goes for tons of other people btw. Well alrighty then, buddy.

DPT + Bach = Words cannot describe. I did that combo for years. I can imagine an artist like Wagner could have profound effects as well. Listening to true artists can really have amazinh effects and is very underrated as a spiritual practice. I like to walk and listen to Bach and let the music flow through the body. It has healing qualities, no doubt about it.

@Arnold666 Who told you this? That guy from the Kriya Yoga thread? And now you are parroting it as a fact? You don't HAVE to calm the prana. If that's what you gotta do then great, do that. I function great on high prana and I "surely" haven't had any bad experiences. I just know how to balance it, after alot of trial and error. Just because one school says you have to calm prana doesn't mean it is a fact across the board. There are householder paths for yoga focused more on the energy aspects as well. Very sophisticated ones that has withstood the test of time.

@sunny33 It sure is. Look at the threads Leo recently locked and you will see how incredibly sneaky the ego is Lots of "prophets" on the forum.

*sniff sniff* smells like shit in here

Nothing wrong with it, if that's what you feel is right then do it. Then when you have exhausted your desires and start to figure out that no object or person can make you fulfilled you will start figuring out that nothing can make you truly feel complete except oneness.

@Preety_India Have a good day as well

People label a physical or verbal attack as black magick? And no people have very different opinions on what black magick is. Some say it is when you change the material. Some say it is whenever you influence someone's will. So a love spell would be considered a form of black magick or even trying to take on someone's negativity, under that paradigm. Some say it only when you make an attack. So it's a bit more abstract than comparing it to an object like a table.

@Preety_India What are my serious accusations? A majority of my energy practices are from the occult, so please don't make assumptions. You are misunderstanding what I am saying. Let's make 2 examples; 1) If you get triggered and decide to want to get revenge on someone by writing something mean with the intention to hurt another, this proving to be the final catalyst of that person taking their own life or damaging others, or 2) by you putting a curse on someone making them lose their appetite for 3 days not causing a whole lot of damage in the bigger picture. According to you the latter is "black magick" and abuse of spiritual powers while the former is just verbal attack or whatever. Why do you make a distinction between the two acts? The former example does way more damage, but is less severe because it doesn't fall under the umbrella of "black magick" according to you? I am saying it is all Magick (if you want to use that word). It is all spiritual. We are all energy. A "physical", "mental" or "magickal" attack - It's all the same.
