“Surrender” it’s amazing how deep this rabbit hole goes and the layers to go through. I always wondered why psychedelic experiences constantly teach me surrender with new challenges each time.
Ommmm . I wasn't on psychedelics when I was enlightened morning of 8.4.2015. I was drinking Chai tea. Sitting in the grass getting ready to do a crossword puzzle. That night I sat under the stars alone. At about 11pm I heard Tibetan music from the heavens that I knew no one else could hear.

Higher awareness will be misinterpreted by those who have not reached higher awareness. The natural way that we determine higher awareness in an individual is by direct in-person exposure. People intuitively know when they are in the presence of someone with high awareness.
Can you please do a video on how a person can get passed the 2nd form of spiritual bypassing? This would be geared towards more westernized audiences. Or a video on how to get past spiritual bypassing in general. Thanks for the wisdom and knowledge. 🙏🙏🙏

Anything and everything about spirituality has been experimented and experienced in the east for thousands of years by countless yogi's and especially in India. As such India is the spiritual capital of the world and a final destination for anyone who is serious about their inner experience.
Once we are born we are here, on a "real" plane of experience that has it's own "laws" of natural (in this case physical) behavior, we are to some degree "stuck." On or "in" our current shared plane called "the physical universe" there are physical laws that apply as long as we are alive as human beings. We can awaken to and "glimpse" our deeper planes or more fundamental reality, but to some extent we will always be limited as long as we are still "embodied" as human physical beings experiencing this physical level of reality. Liberation (nirvana, moksha etc) is possible when we release our embodiment aka "die" and that is the main goal of spiritual effort, but as long as we have this body we will experience the limits and effects of this body. Yes, we can progress and lessen our suffering even while alive, but total Liberation is for the next plane of experience.
I am so scared to continue with this path because I see myself quiting my job and then living on the streets. Somewhere unsafe. I'm frightened that this would cause me so much more suffering. Anyone else feel like this? I live in America
@@myfavoritethings6433no one is saying that. But being homeless with no belongings or distractions allow one to seek enlightenment with full and complete devotion. Why do you think Yogis and spiritual adepts spend long stretches of their lifetimes inside caves or on mountains?
At 55 and just learning this, makes me feel that I have wasted my life in the wrong direction. I wish I knew this at least as early as 21. Now my life seems hopeless.
@@renwickwebster4491 I had the same thought. I’m 65 and I just woke up on May 20. At first, I angry that I had wasted the past 42 years of my life with my attention focused on dealing with two crazy ex-wives. Then I realized that I had to experience that horror to get to where I am today. Now, I’m happier than I ever have been. It was worth what I went through to have the peace that you have now. I have a spiritual family on RUclips that I would be happy to share with you, if you like. They’ve helped me go through my Dark Night of the Soul and have helped me to stop ruminating on the past. I used to say that the sky is the limit. Now I know that I have no limit. Hang in there, everyday does get easier.
Any possibility of translation to other languages? In Brazil there is a lot of spiritual people and I could help with that! Plus: I love the quality of the videos.
Man created religions from its spirituality. Mans ego took over from its internal knowing of this knowledge it didn't understand and created religions for control and power. Spirituality became corrupt into religions. Believe or ELSE. One does not need to 'prove' to another what one experiences in its spirituality journey. Open ones mind and spirit, or keep it closed. Upon you last breath you shall experience truth...
It is nothing but the madhyamacca philosophy of Nagarjuna as propounded in Madhayamacca karika. Many have stolen it and presented it as their own discovery. .
@@lomdi493 Nagarjuna himself being a Brahman need not steal. He would have propounded it as commentary on Brahma Sutra, had there been something to do with Brahma sutra. The concept of emptiness of all phenomena and no-self was not there in any of the earlier traditions. This concept was given by the Buddha during 2nd turning of the wheel of dharma at vulture peak Rajgir. Nagarjuna found it very profound and came up with his explanation of the profound view in his text mulamadhyamicakareka. Then on many others including shankaracharya explained it in their own ways. Any way, there is nothing wrong in it. Good things should be persuaded under whatever name of tradition.
@@theflowoflife4252 Right, there’s nothing wrong with it. It's not stealing as long as credit is given. If you read the works of Adi da, you will realize that he gives credit to whichever scripture he takes his knowledge from. His works are similar to Patanjali, in the sense of systematization. He has collected knowledge from different traditions and grouped them.
This is my first comment on the subject. I woke up sometime between september and october 2022. The purpose of life was very clear to me. Everything got connected, the separation was over. I think i lost that feeling. Thats fine by me but i have some serious doubt about my job and the path isnt clear anymore. Fear replaced love. Any thoughts?
My experience has been that the initial awakening is wonderful and inspiring, but is soon followed by the process of bringing to the surface all the aspects of self that are still stuck - sort of like pulling out deep splinters that you forgot about - they've been there all along, and your initial awakening stimulated their movement to the surface. There are no shortcuts to this - the best one can do is allow (a small word, but the key to pulling out those splinters as painlessly as possible). Peace be with you :)
@@VelikiGetsbi1 I hear you - identifying with that ego is a hard habit to break - especially since there is no obvious alternative. But it's not you - it's your creation. And once you fully realize that, you can accept responsibility for having chosen this entire experience - your life, your issues, your frustrations, your identity - it's all your creation, and it's not serious- it's simply what a brilliant and eternal being such as yourself does for fun. :D
Reducing the tapas to food, money, and sex is a reductio ad absurdum. Every Soul carries lifetimes of trauma and karma. In addition, most souls are in the state of primal repression. The instincts, emotions, feelings, thoughts, complexes, and wounds are deeply repressed. The unconscious must be made conscious and the energy of the unconscious must be purged and purified. Otherwise you can talk about stages and consciousness and it means absolutely nothing. Also, these stages of life are from one person's perspective. It sounds like Adi Da Samraj's stages. Adi Da was a spiritual by-passer. If the person has not completely made the unconscious conscious and integrated all the issues and energy, the person who created this stage scheme did so with foggy perception and shallow understanding. Yes, the spiritual bypass is real because people do not want to lift a finger for their Soul. The first task is to heal one's self. The 2nd task is to integrate Soul with Spirit.
Instincts, emotions, feelings, thoughts, complexes, and wounds get tackled in the 4th stage of surrender I feel. You let the emotions come, feel them completely and surrender them to this moment. Also, we also have to take into consideration that its easy to have a "victim" ego while making the unconscious conscious. People don't want to take responsibility, and too much responsibility leads to spiritual bypassing.
I can‘t understand anything. Why seek enlightenment? Is it not coming by itself? I do not need all your complex mental concepts. I do my work and try to improve it and make my prayers to our Mahashakti for guiding and protecting me. So, everybody is different and I feel happy without having studied the 108 and more mental buildings which for you are so important.
All these technicalities, stages, 'shadow work', etc. These people are spinning a ball of yarn to sell you a product. Anyone who tries to humiliate or frighten is not helping either. The procedure is very simple, so simple that you can't really charge money for it. So an unnecessarily complex tapestry is created that bedazzles potential aspirants, which can then be sold for a price. We used to sell external idolization in churches, now it is just cheaper to tell people to do it internally (but still pay for the process). 'Bypassing' is nonsense. A transcendent experience naturally bypasses! It's in the definition of the word transcendence, to go above and beyond limitation and constraint! There is no need to ruminate on traumas and compulsions. You don't have to study and beat your head against the wall. Once you see the root to which all these things are attached, they begin to naturally disintegrate on their own. A single near death experience can radically transform a person. They didn't have to go through a lengthy process of consternation. It was automatic and the liberation from trauma was instantaneous. The real magic is learning how to make yourself a lightning rod for such experiences, not sitting around fawning over technicalities.
That's bs. It's vital to acknowledge your psychological needs. Far too many gurus/students have fallen off the path due to a lack of understanding of their own emotions. Also, not everybody needs to go through a near-death experience. They are challenging to come by. Just living a pure life with integrity and proper practice can lead one to rightfully transcend.
@@karmapeople1735 You don't need an intellectual discourse or system to understand who you are. All you need is to observe yourself, silently. I didn't say you 'need' a NDE. The point was that transformative transcendental experiences do 'bypass' automatically, that you don't need to go through stages or a protracted process. Look at Ramana Maharshi. All he did was lay down and fall into himself. No stages, no shadow work, none of that. Transcending does not require a laborious study. You don't need to study sex to transcend it for example, in fact the more you study it the more you get wound up in it. Same for emotional content. Once you see something from a superior vantage point you understand it in its totality. No need to count the hairs on your head when you can see the entire thing from above.
@@shrunkensimon What you're not mentioning is that Ramana Maharishi comes from a Hindu lineage. He believed in reincarnation. Just because you've knowledge about his one life where he gained enlightenment doesn't mean that he didn't work hard for it in his previous lives. Neo-advaita nonsense leads you to big trouble. Look at Papaji's disciples. Many of them were declared enlightened, and they believed in that themselves, only to realise they were not eventually. You can "pretend" to not care about the body/mind but the reality is that you're embodied. Life is happening around and there is suffering, which needs to be addressed and transcended. Also, the intellect is a useful tool. And one should utilize it fully. Yes, there comes a time to drop it, but until then it should be used. Same with any type of knowledge/discourse. They are plenty useful until they are not. There's no one size fits all.
Worshipping stones,images, wooden beams,walls, the elements are external worship,better is internal worship where the real you become the worshipped itself,its sacrilegious in most religions except save Hinduism,internal chakra worship is what I mean, good luck
I asked God His name. He answered Fundamentally E. I answered, energy of consciousness that suffuses Everything. Every proton, neutron, electron, quark, spark of light and black hole. He answered, don't forget the science. It was 11.17.2015. EVE aka Ewa Beach, Waikiki early evening. I was sitting under the stars alone. God said, make Israel one. You are Anchor. Behind my eyes my birth last name Wernett appeared. A t spun around and made an anchor. I didn't know what it meant to be anchor. I asked people but they didn't know. I researched. It's the symbols of Christianity before the crucifix. To make Israel one ( means to bring peace and reconciliation between Jew, Christian, Muslim: cousins by Abraham).
How can one pass the first three gross stages of life? I certainly am there. And as you explain, people may, as I have, experience fleeting higher states that they can not maintain. Some of the higher states are certainly intuitive to me but I absolutely am what I would consider, stuck in the lower gross levels. I would say I have an addiction to all three of the lower stages. While I think I have overcome food and sex to a very slight degree, definitely compared to the past at least, I definitely have an issue with money. The lack of and obsessive pursuit of money is an issue. Not even for the desire to own anything but the fear of not having. Which intuitively also doesn’t really make sense to me but it’s a compulsive need to not feel in lack. I go in and out of meditation practice and when I truly think about what I want from life everything points to spiritual awakening. But I am like an obese person on the verge of a heart attack who will not do the work to save their own life. I mean that, although my desire is for awakening I am obsessively attached and distracted by the lower levels of life, especially money, even though I never manage to keep hold of money even if it comes to me. Where can one truly start to get over this madness? Is it simply a case of discipline and commitment to practice?
I am also in a similar state, which I think is pretty much the first way of bypassing pointed in the video. And as they said, we are actually stuck in this constant state of conflict between the human desires and addictions and our spiritual voice or higher self. And as they also explained, this is a battle that at its core is motivated by our seeking to escape the three first stages rather than enduring them, by bypassing and reaching that awakened state which we had experienced but couldn’t maintain, precisely because we haven’t gone through the first stages and learned how we should not try to scape but rather surrender. I think that’s the main lesson I am trying to learn in order to achieve peace within the chaos that can arrive from having these two voices colliding with each other on a daily basis. It’s very nice to know I’m not alone feeling like this and I know we will figure it out by ourselves along the way ❤
@@Josue-47Right… it’s counter intuitive to me to want to go beyond the lower states but then not be bypassing them. I guess we have to learn whatever lessons we are meant to learn. But then how do we go about learning these lessons? This is the loop I feel I’m stuck it. What needs to take place to actually go beyond the lower stages… I’m sure one day or in one lifetime I’ll have the answer one way or another. Good luck brother. May we all find our way.
@@Simonjthomas that’s right sir, I trust these answers will always arrive on the right time, no matter how hard we try or how hard we don’t try. Much love ❤️
@@frankmarrero-n6y the question is how does one ’handle’ them. Before this video I hadn’t heard of Adi Da. I’m interested to learn about his teachings having watched this video. Maybe I’ll get some insight.
There is NO dark side to Spirituality, there is a dark side to religiosity though, that talks the talk, but does NOT Walk the Walk. By definition Spirit IS of the Light, The Way of the Heart, the Ultimate Wisdom We All have. Peace .......
I am not intelligent… rather dumb. This presentation is brilliant… sounds brilliant … like summary lectures orated by great orators like Osho and others. You tubers are thriving on them. Being dumb i don’t understand what is the take home. These web of words give me no practical guidance. May be I am dumb. Can someone help me? E:g Tapas …. means simple attention, minimal energy optimal living. Understood but what next? How do one ( me) handle this stage , what our experienced achievers have advised? Or now I have to continue finding that on another you tube video? Some say find a Guru, others say Guru will come when you are ready … others say all is within you…. Why cant these think tanks …. real achievers be easier to understand ( without charging money -:) ? As at 65 I am still a novice in spiritual journey (that i thought I started at 16) can some wise soul help? Not a lot of time is left at this age and stage. I mean no offense but sharing my thoughts after feeling frustrated and seeking help.
One simple thing that you can do is to train your attention. Train your attention to go inwards, and not to the mind, but further in. How do you do that? Just sit and keep concentrating on your breath. This is where most people screw up. They want to skip the hard part and just want to experience instant enlightenment. But insights take practice, time and mindfulness. That is what the video suggests.
hello namaskaram, please stop trying to seek spiritual growth. you are not dumb, and nobody ever attains because of words or knowledge. just be aware every moment. try. this will take some time. watch your breath. this is all. simply sit silently. if thoughts come on the screen of your mind, watch them like a movie played on the screen. do not judge or react. just be aware. try this for months and see. namaskaram, procheta
Yes i know i am not dumb ( but I call myself so as after listening reading to so many orators over 60 years with no gain what-so ever i better acknowledging myself dumb so as more such world web creators dont throw more webs on me. -:).
Actually you're smart - too many people fall in love with endless streams of words that flatter intellectual vanity but which lead nowhere and reveal nothing. "Fortunate is the man who does not lose himself in the labyrinths of philosophy, but goes straight to the Source from which they all rise" - Ramana Maharshi I recommend Ramana Maharshi (David Godman has some very useful videos about him), and also Nisargadatta Maharaj (his book 'I Am That' is very useful). All the advice one needs is required within their dialogues. Both of those men demonstrated the 'know them by their fruits' litmus test too.. neither charged anything, in fact Ramana never touched money for the majority of his life!
people need to use their eyes and make judgement none of these people look spiritual they are using reaction formation an disassociation against sexuality and aggressiveness they dont have
I am annoyed when a video clip turns out to be a "text content" to be read by the watcher. It defeats the whole purpose of having a video. Why wouldn't you just share a link to a site so that the audience can read the content at their own pace?
I apologize my audio was having issues. I did not realize there was an accompanying audio. But to penalize myself with the embarrassment, I shall not delete my original post, unless the host wants me to.
I suppose it's too much to ask that people refrain from reinterpreting the teaching of Adi Da Samraj to fit their notion of spiritual life. As a four decade devotee of Adi Da Samraj there are a couple of things I can say with absolute certainty; the first six stages of life do not lead to the Seventh Stage of life, or as Adi Da has said "you can't get there from here" and the Guru or Spiritual Master is not optional. Adi Da offers his devotees a spiritual practice that is unprecedented and I would encourage anyone interested in spiritual life to make an effort to study His teaching directly.
You really can’t make a connection between trauma and the other three things you mentioned?? It’s all survival mode trauma. We all go thru this in our lifetimes… The video talks about how these three things are meant to be tamed so that attention may be put into growing from within using the without as a reference point or guide.
I know what it should be, but it must be embarrassing for you if the narrator / robot does not understand the English language, and at the same time purports to be so `authoritative` - Clearly this is not mispronunciation, but misunderstanding of the subject matter. Surely, it cannot be too expensive to hire a competent speaker who is versed in such things?
@@tagomago2178 mate! it's a human narrator - and human's are apt to make mistakes. Just like you made mistake thinking it was AI. Don't be embarrassed. cheers
Well, I dont entirely agree with this. The more we go around in circles with technics and bla bla bla, stages and bla bla bla makes no sense at all. You could spent your whole life trying to resolve or going through the first three stages without getting any result and I don't even mean spiritual result, thats why western society is stuck in self destruction and it is precisely why there is no need to any stage. It is not about quiting your life, its not about being a heremit or having no money, it is about putting everything in the correct place, and again, there is no need for any stage. All of this is because of the terrible missunderstanding of what spirituality is, particularly in western society. When you want to know what one thing is, then find out what that thing it is not.
I would disagree. Going directly after higher states of intuition can lead to severe negative disassociation. I've seen many people stuck in this limbo world. It's a tough place to be in, you're not fully enlightened, nor are you of this world. Your method of Neti-neti (not this, not this) is powerful, but again if you don't purify the mind, your character in this world can suffer heavily, and make those around him suffer too. Purification of the mind comes in stages.
@@solwatch39 as I mentioned above, that's a big confusion about spirituality. Mind doesnt need to be purify, doesnt need to this or that, trying to purify it is an act of violence that's why I said give the correct order to everything. Giving or creating a stage is a way of conditioning and you can be lied by yourself. From my perspective, and Im not saying thats what should be, we just need to be aware of the conditioning of the mind and disolve it in our strong presence, there is a strong vitality inside of us that can be perseived and that has nothing to do with deep samadhi or that kind of nonsense. I don't believe in samadhi, to me thats ridiculous, we are not here to become zombies, I dont believe in those who said that the purpose of live is to get enlightment, its stupid, if that were the case we all would be enlightend before dying. Thats the perspective of someone that doesn't follow any specific practice, doesn't follow gurus, but on the contrary has abondoned all of those practices and masters, I left them behind. Again Im not saying this is the truth, what Im saying is that we love going in circles and wasting time. We dont understand what spirituality is and as you very well said, that is dangerous. Regards my friend.
@@myfavoritethings6433 You remind me of a certain person, Jiddu Krishnamurti. I would have to disagree with you on most of the things you said above, as my experiences have led to me to believe in a different reality. However, to each their own.
@@solwatch39 no, actually the woman they mentioned in the video says the same, but she says you have to surrender, however as I say, I left all the gurus behind because most of them are out of this world. I guess we both agree with the disagree of each othwr.

I am so scared to continue with this path because I see myself quiting my job and then living on the streets. Somewhere unsafe.
I'm frightened that this would cause me so much more suffering. Anyone else feel like this? I live in America
Why would you do that? Who said that spiritual life means being a homeless?
@@myfavoritethings6433no one is saying that. But being homeless with no belongings or distractions allow one to seek enlightenment with full and complete devotion. Why do you think Yogis and spiritual adepts spend long stretches of their lifetimes inside caves or on mountains?
Everyone is looking for reason and a easy way out - don’t fall for the new age philosophy it remains unproven.
At 55 and just learning this, makes me feel that I have wasted my life in the wrong direction. I wish I knew this at least as early as 21. Now my life seems hopeless.
@@renwickwebster4491 I had the same thought. I’m 65 and I just woke up on May 20. At first, I angry that I had wasted the past 42 years of my life with my attention focused on dealing with two crazy ex-wives. Then I realized that I had to experience that horror to get to where I am today. Now, I’m happier than I ever have been. It was worth what I went through to have the peace that you have now. I have a spiritual family on RUclips that I would be happy to share with you, if you like. They’ve helped me go through my Dark Night of the Soul and have helped me to stop ruminating on the past. I used to say that the sky is the limit. Now I know that I have no limit. Hang in there, everyday does get easier.
Wonderful video, thank you
Bhagwan Shri Ramana Maharshi 💛
Like it 🙂 👍 ✨️ 💓 love ❤️ it. I am light ✨️
Any possibility of translation to other languages? In Brazil there is a lot of spiritual people and I could help with that!
Plus: I love the quality of the videos.
Fooling yourself is the biggest and the most widespread bias...
being taught, seeing and knowing the path is ultimately nothing like walking it. Sure helps tho x thank you
Great editing!
Man created religions from its spirituality. Mans ego took over from its internal knowing of this knowledge it didn't understand and created religions for control and power. Spirituality became corrupt into religions. Believe or ELSE. One does not need to 'prove' to another what one experiences in its spirituality journey. Open ones mind and spirit, or keep it closed. Upon you last breath you shall experience truth...
The root of the word Islam is the Arabic islam, or "submission to God's will," from aslama, "he resigned, he surrendered, he submitted."
Ram Ram ~ Sita Ram - Ram Ram
It is nothing but the madhyamacca philosophy of Nagarjuna as propounded in Madhayamacca karika. Many have stolen it and presented it as their own discovery.
.
Yeah, like how Nagarjuna stole it from the Brahma sutras! It's karma.
@@lomdi493
Nagarjuna himself being a Brahman need not steal. He would have propounded it as commentary on Brahma Sutra, had there been something to do with Brahma sutra. The concept of emptiness of all phenomena and no-self was not there in any of the earlier traditions. This concept was given by the Buddha during 2nd turning of the wheel of dharma at vulture peak Rajgir. Nagarjuna found it very profound and came up with his explanation of the profound view in his text mulamadhyamicakareka. Then on many others including shankaracharya explained it in their own ways. Any way, there is nothing wrong in it. Good things should be persuaded under whatever name of tradition.
@@theflowoflife4252 Right, there’s nothing wrong with it. It's not stealing as long as credit is given. If you read the works of Adi da, you will realize that he gives credit to whichever scripture he takes his knowledge from.
His works are similar to Patanjali, in the sense of systematization. He has collected knowledge from different traditions and grouped them.
Bravo, well done.
Perfectly put.
Lots of love and huge respect 🙏 ❤please make a video for 14-21 years old
Thank you 🙏 asangoham
Revealing the “Dark side of Light”.
This is my first comment on the subject. I woke up sometime between september and october 2022. The purpose of life was very clear to me. Everything got connected, the separation was over. I think i lost that feeling. Thats fine by me but i have some serious doubt about my job and the path isnt clear anymore. Fear replaced love. Any thoughts?
Shadow work is a must.
My experience has been that the initial awakening is wonderful and inspiring, but is soon followed by the process of bringing to the surface all the aspects of self that are still stuck - sort of like pulling out deep splinters that you forgot about - they've been there all along, and your initial awakening stimulated their movement to the surface. There are no shortcuts to this - the best one can do is allow (a small word, but the key to pulling out those splinters as painlessly as possible). Peace be with you :)
@@jdchittick tnx for the reply. I will think about it. My ego wont let go of this job related persona
@@VelikiGetsbi1 I hear you - identifying with that ego is a hard habit to break - especially since there is no obvious alternative. But it's not you - it's your creation. And once you fully realize that, you can accept responsibility for having chosen this entire experience - your life, your issues, your frustrations, your identity - it's all your creation, and it's not serious- it's simply what a brilliant and eternal being such as yourself does for fun. :D
Reducing the tapas to food, money, and sex is a reductio ad absurdum. Every Soul carries lifetimes of trauma and karma. In addition, most souls are in the state of primal repression. The instincts, emotions, feelings, thoughts, complexes, and wounds are deeply repressed. The unconscious must be made conscious and the energy of the unconscious must be purged and purified. Otherwise you can talk about stages and consciousness and it means absolutely nothing. Also, these stages of life are from one person's perspective. It sounds like Adi Da Samraj's stages. Adi Da was a spiritual by-passer. If the person has not completely made the unconscious conscious and integrated all the issues and energy, the person who created this stage scheme did so with foggy perception and shallow understanding. Yes, the spiritual bypass is real because people do not want to lift a finger for their Soul. The first task is to heal one's self. The 2nd task is to integrate Soul with Spirit.
Instincts, emotions, feelings, thoughts, complexes, and wounds get tackled in the 4th stage of surrender I feel. You let the emotions come, feel them completely and surrender them to this moment.
Also, we also have to take into consideration that its easy to have a "victim" ego while making the unconscious conscious.
People don't want to take responsibility, and too much responsibility leads to spiritual bypassing.
Thank you ❤
I can‘t understand anything. Why seek enlightenment? Is it not coming by itself? I do not need all your complex mental concepts. I do my work and try to improve it and make my prayers to our Mahashakti for guiding and protecting me. So, everybody is different and I feel happy without having studied the 108 and more mental buildings which for you are so important.
As long as you feel happy
One has to pay for everything..
It's still a curse..
Good at negation and high profile illusionary goals.state your level and experiences during sadhana.
All these technicalities, stages, 'shadow work', etc. These people are spinning a ball of yarn to sell you a product. Anyone who tries to humiliate or frighten is not helping either.
The procedure is very simple, so simple that you can't really charge money for it. So an unnecessarily complex tapestry is created that bedazzles potential aspirants, which can then be sold for a price. We used to sell external idolization in churches, now it is just cheaper to tell people to do it internally (but still pay for the process).
'Bypassing' is nonsense. A transcendent experience naturally bypasses! It's in the definition of the word transcendence, to go above and beyond limitation and constraint! There is no need to ruminate on traumas and compulsions. You don't have to study and beat your head against the wall. Once you see the root to which all these things are attached, they begin to naturally disintegrate on their own.
A single near death experience can radically transform a person. They didn't have to go through a lengthy process of consternation. It was automatic and the liberation from trauma was instantaneous.
The real magic is learning how to make yourself a lightning rod for such experiences, not sitting around fawning over technicalities.
That's bs. It's vital to acknowledge your psychological needs.
Far too many gurus/students have fallen off the path due to a lack of understanding of their own emotions.
Also, not everybody needs to go through a near-death experience. They are challenging to come by. Just living a pure life with integrity and proper practice can lead one to rightfully transcend.
@@karmapeople1735 You don't need an intellectual discourse or system to understand who you are. All you need is to observe yourself, silently.
I didn't say you 'need' a NDE. The point was that transformative transcendental experiences do 'bypass' automatically, that you don't need to go through stages or a protracted process.
Look at Ramana Maharshi. All he did was lay down and fall into himself. No stages, no shadow work, none of that.
Transcending does not require a laborious study. You don't need to study sex to transcend it for example, in fact the more you study it the more you get wound up in it. Same for emotional content.
Once you see something from a superior vantage point you understand it in its totality. No need to count the hairs on your head when you can see the entire thing from above.
@@shrunkensimon What you're not mentioning is that Ramana Maharishi comes from a Hindu lineage. He believed in reincarnation.
Just because you've knowledge about his one life where he gained enlightenment doesn't mean that he didn't work hard for it in his previous lives.
Neo-advaita nonsense leads you to big trouble. Look at Papaji's disciples.
Many of them were declared enlightened, and they believed in that themselves, only to realise they were not eventually.
You can "pretend" to not care about the body/mind but the reality is that you're embodied. Life is happening around and there is suffering, which needs to be addressed and transcended.
Also, the intellect is a useful tool. And one should utilize it fully. Yes, there comes a time to drop it, but until then it should be used.
Same with any type of knowledge/discourse. They are plenty useful until they are not. There's no one size fits all.
completely agree
@@karmapeople1735 or you can make this into a further inquiry about who is the "you" who's embodied and needs to do the work 🙂
Can you please share your knowledge on Bon and Wu Wei way of Law of attraction.
Idk about Adi Da but the rest of the video was great!
Where does the voice over content come from? Maharishikaa Preeti? Seems very similar concepts.
Really helpful thank you.
Yes 😮
Worshipping stones,images, wooden beams,walls, the elements are external worship,better is internal worship where the real you become the worshipped itself,its sacrilegious in most religions except save Hinduism,internal chakra worship is what I mean, good luck
I asked God His name. He answered Fundamentally E. I answered, energy of consciousness that suffuses Everything. Every proton, neutron, electron, quark, spark of light and black hole. He answered, don't forget the science. It was 11.17.2015. EVE aka Ewa Beach, Waikiki early evening. I was sitting under the stars alone. God said, make Israel one. You are Anchor. Behind my eyes my birth last name Wernett appeared. A t spun around and made an anchor. I didn't know what it meant to be anchor. I asked people but they didn't know. I researched. It's the symbols of Christianity before the crucifix. To make Israel one ( means to bring peace and reconciliation between Jew, Christian, Muslim: cousins by Abraham).
Beautiful
How can one pass the first three gross stages of life? I certainly am there. And as you explain, people may, as I have, experience fleeting higher states that they can not maintain. Some of the higher states are certainly intuitive to me but I absolutely am what I would consider, stuck in the lower gross levels. I would say I have an addiction to all three of the lower stages. While I think I have overcome food and sex to a very slight degree, definitely compared to the past at least, I definitely have an issue with money. The lack of and obsessive pursuit of money is an issue. Not even for the desire to own anything but the fear of not having. Which intuitively also doesn’t really make sense to me but it’s a compulsive need to not feel in lack. I go in and out of meditation practice and when I truly think about what I want from life everything points to spiritual awakening. But I am like an obese person on the verge of a heart attack who will not do the work to save their own life. I mean that, although my desire is for awakening I am obsessively attached and distracted by the lower levels of life, especially money, even though I never manage to keep hold of money even if it comes to me. Where can one truly start to get over this madness? Is it simply a case of discipline and commitment to practice?
I am also in a similar state, which I think is pretty much the first way of bypassing pointed in the video. And as they said, we are actually stuck in this constant state of conflict between the human desires and addictions and our spiritual voice or higher self. And as they also explained, this is a battle that at its core is motivated by our seeking to escape the three first stages rather than enduring them, by bypassing and reaching that awakened state which we had experienced but couldn’t maintain, precisely because we haven’t gone through the first stages and learned how we should not try to scape but rather surrender. I think that’s the main lesson I am trying to learn in order to achieve peace within the chaos that can arrive from having these two voices colliding with each other on a daily basis. It’s very nice to know I’m not alone feeling like this and I know we will figure it out by ourselves along the way ❤
@@Josue-47Right… it’s counter intuitive to me to want to go beyond the lower states but then not be bypassing them. I guess we have to learn whatever lessons we are meant to learn. But then how do we go about learning these lessons? This is the loop I feel I’m stuck it. What needs to take place to actually go beyond the lower stages… I’m sure one day or in one lifetime I’ll have the answer one way or another. Good luck brother. May we all find our way.
@@Simonjthomas that’s right sir, I trust these answers will always arrive on the right time, no matter how hard we try or how hard we don’t try. Much love ❤️
Adi Da points out that if you do not 'handle the first three stages', you numb them." With indulgences and addictions of all kinds!
@@frankmarrero-n6y the question is how does one ’handle’ them. Before this video I hadn’t heard of Adi Da. I’m interested to learn about his teachings having watched this video. Maybe I’ll get some insight.
What exactly is meant by "bodily devotion and surrender"? Please elaborate.
There is NO dark side to Spirituality, there is a dark side to religiosity though, that talks the talk, but does NOT Walk the Walk. By definition Spirit IS of the Light, The Way of the Heart, the Ultimate Wisdom We All have. Peace .......
I am not intelligent… rather dumb. This presentation is brilliant… sounds brilliant … like summary lectures orated by great orators like Osho and others. You tubers are thriving on them. Being dumb i don’t understand what is the take home. These web of words give me no practical guidance. May be I am dumb. Can someone help me? E:g Tapas …. means simple attention, minimal energy optimal living. Understood but what next? How do one ( me) handle this stage , what our experienced achievers have advised? Or now I have to continue finding that on another you tube video? Some say find a Guru, others say Guru will come when you are ready … others say all is within you…. Why cant these think tanks …. real achievers be easier to understand ( without charging money -:) ?
As at 65 I am still a novice in spiritual journey (that i thought I started at 16) can some wise soul help? Not a lot of time is left at this age and stage.
I mean no offense but sharing my thoughts after feeling frustrated and seeking help.
One simple thing that you can do is to train your attention.
Train your attention to go inwards, and not to the mind, but further in. How do you do that? Just sit and keep concentrating on your breath. This is where most people screw up. They want to skip the hard part and just want to experience instant enlightenment. But insights take practice, time and mindfulness.
That is what the video suggests.
hello namaskaram,
please stop trying to seek spiritual growth.
you are not dumb, and nobody ever attains because of words or knowledge.
just be aware every moment. try. this will take some time.
watch your breath.
this is all.
simply sit silently.
if thoughts come on the screen of your mind, watch them like a movie played on the screen.
do not judge or react.
just be aware.
try this for months and see.
namaskaram,
procheta
Yes i know i am not dumb ( but I call myself so as after listening reading to so many orators over 60 years with no gain what-so ever i better acknowledging myself dumb so as more such world web creators dont throw more webs on me. -:).
Actually you're smart - too many people fall in love with endless streams of words that flatter intellectual vanity but which lead nowhere and reveal nothing.
"Fortunate is the man who does not lose himself in the labyrinths of philosophy, but goes straight to the Source from which they all rise" - Ramana Maharshi
I recommend Ramana Maharshi (David Godman has some very useful videos about him), and also Nisargadatta Maharaj (his book 'I Am That' is very useful). All the advice one needs is required within their dialogues. Both of those men demonstrated the 'know them by their fruits' litmus test too.. neither charged anything, in fact Ramana never touched money for the majority of his life!
For me this video was the piece of the puzzel that was missing for the moment.
Just be.
Om Namah Shivaya
people need to use their eyes and make judgement none of these people look spiritual they are using reaction formation an disassociation against sexuality and aggressiveness they dont have
Nothing have dark side of sprituality.
Is enlightenment even possible??? I don’t even know what the term means.
A mind state beyond thought process.
What happened to the male narrator?
I am annoyed when a video clip turns out to be a "text content" to be read by the watcher. It defeats the whole purpose of having a video. Why wouldn't you just share a link to a site so that the audience can read the content at their own pace?
I apologize my audio was having issues. I did not realize there was an accompanying audio. But to penalize myself with the embarrassment, I shall not delete my original post, unless the host wants me to.
Can in small age god be achieved?
God ❤yayy I love you
❤
Who is the narrator of the video????
Andrea Giordani
@Asangoham thanks for amazing videos love them ❤️ 💕 💖
and "orgies are very rare".... just from time to time.... the usual
I suppose it's too much to ask that people refrain from reinterpreting the teaching of Adi Da Samraj to fit their notion of spiritual life. As a four decade devotee of Adi Da Samraj there are a couple of things I can say with absolute certainty; the first six stages of life do not lead to the Seventh Stage of life, or as Adi Da has said "you can't get there from here" and the Guru or Spiritual Master is not optional. Adi Da offers his devotees a spiritual practice that is unprecedented and I would encourage anyone interested in spiritual life to make an effort to study His teaching directly.
Its not just money , food and sex tho there other attachemtns , theres trauma
You really can’t make a connection between trauma and the other three things you mentioned??
It’s all survival mode trauma. We all go thru this in our lifetimes…
The video talks about how these three things are meant to be tamed so that attention may be put into growing from within using the without as a reference point or guide.
I guess it can be said that "evil" people crave to attain more (and more) power out of a NEED to connect to a source/God?
Esa es la voz de Lilith!!! mi amorcitoo!.
Venkataraman got enlightment at 16. And that nulifies this dark BS. 😂❤
30:39 The casual state? - What was that about paying attention
I know what it should be, but it must be embarrassing for you if the narrator / robot does not understand the English language, and at the same time purports to be so `authoritative` - Clearly this is not mispronunciation, but misunderstanding of the subject matter. Surely, it cannot be too expensive to hire a competent speaker who is versed in such things?
@@tagomago2178 mate! it's a human narrator - and human's are apt to make mistakes. Just like you made mistake thinking it was AI. Don't be embarrassed. cheers
There are many teachers
Well, I dont entirely agree with this. The more we go around in circles with technics and bla bla bla, stages and bla bla bla makes no sense at all. You could spent your whole life trying to resolve or going through the first three stages without getting any result and I don't even mean spiritual result, thats why western society is stuck in self destruction and it is precisely why there is no need to any stage. It is not about quiting your life, its not about being a heremit or having no money, it is about putting everything in the correct place, and again, there is no need for any stage. All of this is because of the terrible missunderstanding of what spirituality is, particularly in western society. When you want to know what one thing is, then find out what that thing it is not.
I would disagree. Going directly after higher states of intuition can lead to severe negative disassociation. I've seen many people stuck in this limbo world. It's a tough place to be in, you're not fully enlightened, nor are you of this world.
Your method of Neti-neti (not this, not this) is powerful, but again if you don't purify the mind, your character in this world can suffer heavily, and make those around him suffer too.
Purification of the mind comes in stages.
@@solwatch39 as I mentioned above, that's a big confusion about spirituality. Mind doesnt need to be purify, doesnt need to this or that, trying to purify it is an act of violence that's why I said give the correct order to everything. Giving or creating a stage is a way of conditioning and you can be lied by yourself. From my perspective, and Im not saying thats what should be, we just need to be aware of the conditioning of the mind and disolve it in our strong presence, there is a strong vitality inside of us that can be perseived and that has nothing to do with deep samadhi or that kind of nonsense. I don't believe in samadhi, to me thats ridiculous, we are not here to become zombies, I dont believe in those who said that the purpose of live is to get enlightment, its stupid, if that were the case we all would be enlightend before dying. Thats the perspective of someone that doesn't follow any specific practice, doesn't follow gurus, but on the contrary has abondoned all of those practices and masters, I left them behind. Again Im not saying this is the truth, what Im saying is that we love going in circles and wasting time. We dont understand what spirituality is and as you very well said, that is dangerous. Regards my friend.
@@myfavoritethings6433 You remind me of a certain person, Jiddu Krishnamurti.
I would have to disagree with you on most of the things you said above, as my experiences have led to me to believe in a different reality. However, to each their own.
@@solwatch39 no, actually the woman they mentioned in the video says the same, but she says you have to surrender, however as I say, I left all the gurus behind because most of them are out of this world. I guess we both agree with the disagree of each othwr.
Why are you using a British equivalent of English
