I recommend reading the Bhagavad Gita. There is a version of the Bhagavad Gita with commentary from Yoganada where he breaks it all down to fulfill an inquiring mind. The Upanishads appeal to me as well but more from a poetic level.

"One who is devoted to yoga attains peace by renouncing the fruits of action. But one who is not united with yoga is impeller by desires, attached to the fruits of action, and therefore, goes to bondage."

"Knowledge is better than repeated effort, and better than knowledge is meditation. From meditation follows renunciation of fruits of action, and from renunciation there arises ceaseless peace"
- Bhagavad Gita

"Whatever the content of consciousness at the time of death, that is what unites us to prana, udana, and the self, to be reborn in the plane that we have earned. Those who realize this go beyond death. Their children too follow in their footsteps. Those who percieve how prana rises, enters the body, and becomes five fold to serve the Self, they do not die; they do not die. "

"There is only one way to know the Self, and that is to realize him yourself. The ignorant think the Self can be known by the intellect, but the illumined know he is beyond the duality of the knower and the known. The Self is realized in a higher state of consciousness when you have broken through the wrong identification that you are the body, subject to birth and death. To be the Self is to go beyond death. Realize the self, the shining goal of life! If you do not, there is only darkness. See the Self in all, and go beyond death. "
- Kena Upanishad

These thoughts are demonic IMO.


2 live for self is hollow.

Lyfe is about networking and contribution.


The infrastructure of earth requires players with purpose.

Everything lives and everything dies. What we do while we are "alive" defines our time here.

Mediation in itself is a farce.


It's Far East "therapy."

It has 0 contribution to the eco system- it is self serving.


Indian philosophers have never been able to move me.

2 live for self I'd recommend being a politician or banker.

Its like cocaine and high end escorts.

to simplify; like @010101 said the only thing promised is the dirt nap.

What spefically do you want me to say on the subject? He is equating sages with snake oil salesman so I don't see why I would continue to engage with him beyond what I already said
When someone isn’t at peace with their reflection, don’t let their shadow bewilder you

That’s why the good book is the equalizer

that's a perspective

i don't agree with throwing away your own perspective to subjugate yourself to another's

maybe that's the right thing to do for some but me when i don't agree or something seems like nonsense I PUNCH HARDER THAN SKUNT

my thoughts are scripture & just as sacred as anything from any other imagination

if it works it works & what works for me may not work for others

it's crazy to stand up & say you have found thee way

motherfukkers drive themselves crazy trying to follow something that sprung out another humans mind

Yea I was bout to say, it always sounds interesting, but reincarnation is something that seems to mainly/only be found in Eastern traditions. They’re the only ones who got it figured out? :patrice:

the eurasian concept of life being something to escape is what i feel fukks them up

the natural mind simply accepts life is life & that's all there is

I think you should keep that with you always. Belief can only take you so far, and as you probably know, there are people that get caught up in cults and religions blindly following after other blind people. I know I know, who is to say I'm not doing that right now..... From what I understand about yoga, tantra, or really any esoteric system that is supposed to help you go beyond religion, is that you have to gather actual experience of divinity for any of this stuff to stick or have any meaning

It's in other cultures as well. I personally think it's the other way around tho. I think the idea that we are born and die and that's it is a newish concept

@maxamusa I don't know what you mean by demonic. Also there is a difference between self and Self. In those specific works the Self is considered as the all pervasive creator AND substance of reality so what you said doesn't really make sense to me.
