Is Sadguru's Inner Engineering Course worth it?

[Hojo]

@ryokoIll have to look, I think the quote was when I die I am going to come back as a 30 year old. Since you cant spawn bodies I read as a hostile takeover. It will take forever to find as all his videos are similar.

@ryoko If you like Osho, definitely give When The Shoe Fits a read. Especially if you wanna deeper understanding of Tao.

Powerful in what sense?

Concidering his extremely large audience make sense to give people watered down practice just to be safe.

I'm sure the story is different with people around him and his direct disciples.

I just don't like his conservative spirit, to control and safe guard everything in one's spiritual path.

In one of his videos he threatens his disciples saying if go on in the world and try to use your power to heal people or stuff like that I'd make sure you never ever taste again what spirituality is, something like this he said.

But again since he got too many people to manage, this kind of behavior are expected.

What, you didn't do the shambhavi mahamudra program after? You need IE as a prerequisite because if you do shambhavi mahamudra without some basic understanding and get into Kundalini awakening it can destroy your life. It is really that powerful. I talk here about first hand experiences but I know you won't believe me.

You just did a precourse and want to judge about sadghuru programs? At least take shambhavi mahamudra course. Even if you have more peak spiritual experiences than anyone participating there the difference is, that Kundalini activations or even awakening is another beast. And shambhavi mahamudra and other courses of sadghuru focus on that.

Although they did welcome donations, which I did give them

Exactly. It wasn't for free, they just wanted you to descide how much you want to give as a thanks giving. If you were to abuse their generosity and use them as slaves to do you massages, they would discontinue helping you. And you'd feel it deeply in your conscience that it's wrong not to give something back in return. Especially if you can afford it. If you're broke then it's a different story. But even then you'll give something in return, even if it's just a fig, even if it's your last bowl of rice. That's just the natural Order of things that honors Love. And if you don't honor love, love will not come in your life.

A distorted opinion, these people were genuine, i could feel the richness of their souls and fullness of their hearts. They helped me because they saw me for who i was and felt me. They had everything they needed and more.

They had no need for money whatsoever, they were naturally abundant.

I have no problem believing this.

That's probably bs. We are all codependent. If you don't give something in return with money, then you give something in return with your service to them. Otherwise you have a slave-master relationship, not love relationship.

Yes that's what i meant they lived so deep in the jungle that money wasn't used, they never had used it, its the younger family members who came and took the money or gifts, sometimes they come back with gifts of their own or if the elders ever needed anything from the outside world.

I was really inspired by them and how they lived brought them so much peace that they were the poorest people i ever met (money-wise) yet richest in all the other ways that truly matter. They showed me what true abundance and free living was.

The moment you start thinking independently, the connection breaks, it stops working. This is like occult. I'll admit that. He's doing shady stuffs without your consent. It's a sophisticated tool for submission and slavery.

That's wholesome, I'll admit.

No. I did a live event too.

But the online videos were useless.

The live event was legit, though not as good as Kriya yoga.

If you like Sadhguru then skip the online course and do a live event. That's my suggestion.

You cannot skip this inner engineering online course, only if you take the total engineering program, there you have the first day inner engineering and the 3 other days shambhavi mahamudra. 

If you did not do shambhavi mahamudra then you missed his whole work. It's all about this one yoga exercise. Please check that out or you really missed sadghurus whole creation. It's like if someone judges your work but only saw your book list and one random video of how to be funny or something.

I second this @Leo Gura

Don't get your panties twisted.

I didn't miss anything.

[TheSelf]

@Leo Gura Sadhguru is too cautious regarding giving legit advanced practices, this is not a behavior of ancient gurus, some could say cause of larger crowd of disciples... but what do you think the actual reason could be?

A proper IE program should've been like 4days long with 5-7hours each day. If you do the introduction at home, then the program is 2days long.
