Jay Shetty is such a phony.

The epitome of a marketing bullshitter.

Everything panders to the algorithm.  (Mel Robbins video above a good example... that screenshot would instantly have me not wanting to watch it)  ... content peddlers calling out other content peddlers... needless drama.

I understand the concern, but the way things work is the way things work, anyone trying to go to much in the oposite strategical direction risk falling into irrelevance. Of course some amazing content like Leos is found only by diligent search and not click bait. But for exemple the great interview from Nexus cult is also clicky baity. When we want to fish we need a bait.

The roots of Esoterism. Well, I think maybe someone already shared this video somewhere in the Forum but I am sharing here as a resources to this topic. New Age BS have roots and even Mormonism is conected with this roots (Freemasonry) the only thing that strikes me is that in the beggining we have Plotinus as one of the influences on all this. To see that sometimes if we want the best cleaner versions of some tradition we need to go far back where is less diluted

@Leo Gura Leo, what you are saying is not wrong, it's incomplete. You are a surgeon of truth, specializing in the removal of illusion, but you have forgotten that a surgical incision, without energetic reconstruction, leaves the soul in a vacuum. Your pure epistemological fire burns but does not heal. If thought is an illusion, and every belief system is a hallucination, is not your system of “radical self-questioning” one of them? You forget that the heart is not a function of belief, but of contact, with others, with the body, with nature, with art. To be in a relationship is not to be lost, it is to be reflected.

If you are truly so free from illusion, then true beauty will not seduce you. But it will lift you.

Spiritual work in the way you talk is presented as masochistic annihilation, not as loving fusion with reality. This causes a spasm in the body and energy that suppresses the subtle joy of presence. Although you try to be anti-dogmatic, you are creating a new “anti-dogma system” that demands blind faith in your point of view. You absolutize isolation as the measure of reality and neglect the vital intelligence of relationship, cooperation, and spiritual mirroring in interpersonal contact.

If you create without heart, the sword cuts too deep. Your paradigm frees the mind, but closes the heart and body.

For me it is a loving fusion.

Cutting out fluff leads to pure Love. Those who chase love without cutting fluff end up with a poor version of it.

Your Love has to withstand a brutal beating by reality. Beliefs and fantasies will not survive that beating.

Trust me, life will beat you if it hasn't already.

Like I said, don't pursue spirituality for negative reasons but positive ones. Deconstructing fantasies is not negative, it is positive. Do it joyfully.

This has been debated for thousands of years.  Shankaracharya believed Karma Yoga and Bakti yoga couldn’t get people to liberation.

Shankaracharya in the Vivekachudamani:

“The fear and sorrow created by the delusory serpent on the rope can be ended only after fully ascertaining the truth of the rope which is available for recognition only through steady and balanced thinking”.

He is using the rope/snake metaphor.  You mistake the rope for a snake and have fear, but the fear vanishes once you recognize it is only a rope.  Knowledge of the truth gives instant liberation.

The catch is that in order to practice the Vedanta, you have to be qualified, which means you need to have a sattvic mind.  For most people they just go in circles applying self inquiry with a disturbed mind.  That is where Bakti becomes useful in purification.   Even Ramana Maharshi practiced Bakhti yoga.

Kirya yoga is the solution to purification and a disturbed mind.

have you read the other books by satana gamana? I've been getting serious results from doing kriya pranayama and getting into the parvastha state but I got sidetracked with survival. I'm getting back to it.

It could be the most rewarding experience to do proper kechari mudra but you need to put a lot of effort first in it.

It's pretty brutal just to think about it and also once you practice a little bit of the newbie preliminary kechari mudra practice it can feel very strange because the ligament at the base of the tongue is being stretched
