oh boy, i fear that Sadhguru might get a lot of hate after this. Joe Rogan really pushed him into talking about aliens and other really "out there" stuff that might make him look like a madman to the average normie Joe Rogan viewer.

I think most of the non-fan viewers stopped watching after the first hour of talking about soil. Sadhguru also has such a big audience that it will drown out any negative comments on the clip videos. Also, let's be frank, for the average Western viewer, it shouldn't be a surprise that he is into these things considering the way he looks and dresses. What will the headlines be? "BREAKING: Indian guru believes in mystical things." No, the push back will be from washed-up reactionary YouTubers that nobody cares about.

So three sources stating that life is not heaven but suffering. Where is Sadghuru getting this idea that we are in heaven?

I think youre taking things a bit too literal/serious, these are just ideas and ways of looking at the world. Its not a case of "4 gurus said this but 10 said something else so the majority must be right", Sadhguru and others are trying to make you understand something that essentially can not be communicated through language, he will do it using different metaphors and stories that just make you think. 

Regarding the heaven on earth there has been loads of symbolism around this through history, if you look at Christianity, the garden of eden is pretty much heaven on earth and then humans become corrupted (possible by the mind represented by the serpent), and exiled from it. You can take the whole parable as a metaphor for we could be in Heaven now if we just realise and are content with what we have, which is absolute abundance. This very much is the case in reality. Jesus also said - “Thy kingdom come on earth as in heaven.” Which seems to be about creating heaven on earth rather than being good and going to heaven. I think this echoes what Sadhguru was talking about.

How is nobody here talking about his contact with extraterrestrial life? 

I really think he goes way deeper than people give him credit for.

This is the most open he has been on the subject in an interview.
Also He admits it is untrodden territory even for him

Sadguru Has definitely not awoken to the deeper insights of the universe, he is still so caught up in personal opinion that he doesn’t consider alternative perspectives… it’s clear to see when watching how he can’t directly answer a question as he doesn’t have the intrinsic understanding of the subject..

nother cult leader

Some of these questions are tricky to answer in a way you understand.

I was pleasantly surprised about how much of his personal experience he shared. 

Very enjoyable podcast.

Its not necessarily that 'he doesn't have the intrinsic understanding of the subject'. For example If you can't articulate enlightenment well, then it automatically means that you don't know what enlightenment is? 

We socially created these beliefs, and dynamics where we are attracted to people and believe people more if they are confident in what they are saying, and if they can reason well. Reasoning is mostly used in a social context, of course you can debate with yourself, but most of the time reasoning is used the defend ideas and ideologies. Just because you can reason well why materialism is true, that doesn not mean that it is the case. Being able to reason well doesn't necessarily  mean that you know what you are talking about. 

Just because you can't reason well or can't articulate something well, doesn't automatically mean that you don't know that particular thing.Especially if we are talking about intuitive knowing. Can you articulate me well, how color blue looks like if i have never seen it in my entire life? If you can't, does that automatically mean, that you don't know the concept of color blue?

It is more heartbreaking: the push back is from washed-up reactionary Actualized Forum users that don't care about themselves.

Read his books.

I loved the interview. 

In particular I loved how Joe kept pressing him on the specifics of how to put a traumatized 30 year old on the right path. 

It's something I like about Joe. He's really not afraid to speak his mind and really push to get an answer.

I think it was like 3 attempts to get Sadghuru to answer the question I think they even started changing topics one time and he went back to it. 

And the aliens part was particularly fascinating to me. 

Not so much for what Sadghuru said, which in itself was really interesting, but the fact that you could tell Sadghuru was kind of uncomfortable with the topic.

I think he really contemplated at one point whether he should really answer the question or not.

I'm sure what was going through him mind was not wanting to come across as a psycho since he knew his experiences could easily be chastised. 

I've never seen Sadghuru like that, he typically always seems in control and well prepared for any answers. 

This was a curveball and I loved seeing it. 

And Joe, with his endless persistence, was able to obtain an answer from Sadghuru. 

Props to Sadghuru for saying what he said and props to Joe for being chill about it. 

I love love love that Sadghuru was on his podcast. The world absolutely needs this. 

Joe Rogan has such a huge platform, its so great that such consciousness can be transmitted to so many people. 

It's so important that Joe is interested in such topics.

It really bodes well for the world

Why didn't he answer it the first two times?

And did he give a concrete answer in the end?

Buy his 6500 dollar course.

Maybe he thought it would not come ideal to tell that specially
if Joe might drill deeper. I think Sad did not want to risk patronizing Joe like he does it with others 
like he did it with Wim Hoff.

That course is a whole ass retreat.

His inner engineering course is like 150 to do online.
