to realize Self alot of energy is needed. All pleasure enjoyment zaps energy - from perfumes to sex to computer. Yoga is the preservation of energy. Foolishness is the enjoyment of pleasures.

Again, I see that this place is a slaughterhouse, this world. Jesus says in A Course in Miracles that the Teacher of God does not feel loss when giving up the pleasures of the world, because who would look kindly upon a slaughterhouse? What he really means is that you should use your commitment to let go of pleasures, knowing that pleasures of this world are the chains that bind you to it. And who are you bound to? What are you bound to? You are bound to a slaughterhouse, a place of suffering, death, and decay, a world that was created as an attack on God. A world where the Son of God suffers, has to work, is beaten and bitten. So letting go of pleasures is a thing the Teacher of God does gladly, without any fearing of sacrifice, because what you are truly letting go of is this whole world of death decay. So when you are wise and you know that all pleasures are what's keeping you here, so I will gladly let go of them, because I don't want to be in this hellhole anymore.

Here are the differences between Sri Sri Gurudev and Jesus in A Course in Miracles. First of all, Sri Sri Gurudev doesn't know that life is a dream. He is coming back here to supposedly save people. He doesn't understand that this is all an illusion. Besides that, he offers a lot of useful insights. He doesn't understand this overarching metaphysical truth which changes everything. Jesus is also more advanced in his understanding of what this world, this universe is. He looks at this world very very negatively. He offers an escape from this illusion.

Gurudev would never say that this world was made as an attack on God, that you have to let go of pleasures because you have to escape the slaughterhouse. He doesn't say that this is a place where thirsty creatures come to die. He doesn't also really say that you have to go, oh, well, that's not really true. He does talk about going beyond the intellect, but he doesn't really say it so eloquently. I think there is a difference in levels, where Jesus is a true, true master and Gurudev still has work to do, but he has become a spiritual superstar, so he's stuck, he can't really change, he thinks that he's at the end.

I have to completely and utterly lose all hope in this world. There will never be a relationship that will make me happy and fulfilled. I will never have a good job. I will never have a lot of money. There is nothing, nothing at all, Jesus says, in this world that will bring you lasting joy. There is not a single road here that will not turn into tears. Everything here is the creation of ego, of the devil, and everything here will hurt me. The only escape, the only option, is to let go of all the pleasures of this world, focus on transcending the mind and this dream and awakening all else's foolishness. Fuck Ken Wapnick. He says that you don't have to let go of specific pleasures. That's not fucking true. Literally, Jesus says that you have to let go of pleasures of the world.

Just after restricting sensual pleasures to this extent, I already began to see the positive effects of divine love coming into my awareness, so whoever says that you don't have to restrict your pleasures, you don't have to let go of this world to come back to God, is a damned fool.

I tested it many times and it’s the only way to God.

Every single physical pleasure is an antithesis to God, perfumes, even music in the end, is a pleasure that has to be let go of, it's a thing that zaps your energy, it's a limit unto God's love, I'd say that it can be used in a positive way, but even that in the end is seen as an obstacle. So every single pleasure, perfume, sex, entertainment, food, every single thing is an obstacle to God, they definitely 100% have to be let go of if you want to get enlightened. Those things, those pleasures are chains that bind you to this damned hellhole.

The way you dress does create a specific vibe around you, a frequency, an aura, and you get identified with that aura. That's how you feel. So when I dress extremely stylish, I feel like a rap star. I listen to that type of music. I feel better than others. I feel prideful. I am arrogant. So clothing is very important to keep your ego in check. I'm getting rid of all of my clothing now, just keeping a few simple, natural fiber items of light colors that aren't extremely stylish. They don't even look bad. Just oversized white t-shirts and stuff like that.

I think my mind is feeling sharper, clearer, not only because I enjoy pleasures less, but because of that diet. Just watched a video of Sri Sri Gurudaya where he says how food affects the mind, where a saint ate something different and then he stole silverware, just to illustrate how what you eat changes your mind, and that's so true. When you eat psychedelics, your mind changes a lot, so it's so important to manage what you eat. In The Course in Miracles, some teachers have this reductionist approach that it's all in the mind, it doesn't matter what you eat, but that's just experientially not true, like it matters so so much, just so much. Your whole system changes, your mind changes, psychedelics are the best example of this. I know they would say that, oh, you're just seeing witnesses to your desire to awaken, and I mean, okay, it's still the wisest thing to do, and it still changes your mind and your body. If it was all in the mind, wouldn't David Hofmeister be thin and his body look healthy? If it was all in the mind, no, no, no, food does have an effect. So does the environment, so does the clothes you wear, the food you consume, how you dress, what you watch. There's a reason why Ananda Ma, Satguru and other saints care so much, there's a reason why there's Ayurveda and this whole yogic science. It's not just all in the mind, the mind is very important, but there are many other important things as well.

In life, you constantly are bombarded with decisions, and it's just so important to make the right decision every moment of every day. And why not use every single thing you can to make the better decision? And you make better decisions when you feel better, when your system functions better, when your aura is clearer, when just every little thing, why wouldn't you optimize it? If your goal is so high, like enlightenment, why wouldn't you do that? So what I'm doing now is emptying my closet, leaving just a few natural fiber, light color clothing for the most part, optimizing my diet, eating mainly fruits, vegetables, nuts, juices, honey, vitamins, reducing the amount of sexuality in my life, entertainment, some baby steps, some larger steps. But yeah, the food is so so important, clothing matters too, environment, music, everything is so so important.

Can you be like a stubborn bull and just say it’s all in the mind nothing else matters just meditate and you will get enlightened? Sure and you probably can. Is that 10x harder and creates many problems in life? Also yes.

I see the seductiveness of teachings like Tony Parsons and others, who basically say that there is nothing to achieve, this is already enlightenment, and there is no self to achieve anything. Because underneath this whole spiel, there is an assumption that now you are enlightened, and it's so attractive for the mind, if the mind was searching for a long time, to just go, oh, I am already enlightened, there is nothing to do. It's so lazy, in a sense. It's so seductive, you sort of accept that this is already enlightenment, and that's it, you just go on doing whatever you were doing before. You don't need to let go of pleasures, probably even can't stage a mental, you don't need to meditate, you can just say that you are enlightened, and that thought system is pretty airtight, by the way it is presented, you can go on talking about it, and it will be very difficult to rebuke.

Ok, so this works. A desire for junk food came up. But then I thought, wait, for the same price, I could buy some tasty, tasty strawberries and other berries. It just doesn't make sense to buy junk food. Fruits are so tasty and the best food ever for the human system. It aids in enlightenment, it helps the mind. So it just doesn't make sense anymore to not buy fruits and eat junk food. Even those chips I was eating weren't right. For the price, it's best to just buy fruits. Junk food and fruits have similar pricing, but their nutrition value is like a hundred times better just overall. Better.

so true about promiscuity - when someone is very promiscuous they have no motivation, vigor, joy, energy, care-freeness.  when I abuse sexuality I also just sleep eat sex pc, repeat. 

so true with food as well - need to let hunger come, hunger fire grow and only then eat. fasting so helpful as well, for body and spirit - they are one, when one is healthy other is helped always.

So, looking back on my Enlightenment experiences, what Jesus is teaching, what Sri Sri Gurdaeva is teaching, it's very, very clear to me right now that the core of Enlightenment is the, whatchamacallit, the letting go, the transcendence of desires. Desires are the thing that keep you here. Sexual, food, money, these desires are literally the chains that bind me here. That's the whole, or like the major, the primary goal of Enlightenment, to transcend them, to let them go. And it's so difficult. Those impressions are so deep in the mind. So I'm trying, I'm putting baby steps. It will be a long journey, but yeah, it's all about letting go of pleasures of the world, and then you're naturally meditative, and then you can awaken and come back To Heaven.

Pleasures = chains that bind to this illusion of death and decay. 
 

Letting go of all pleasures = coming back home to infinite Love, God.  
 

Baby steps.
