someone once told me a quote from their teacher "Psychedelics can give you a peak into the garden.. but if you want to stay in the garden, you gotta do the work" 🌻🌟
this
yesssssss
Kuch bhi
there is no elevator to enlightenment, you have to take the stairs
Doing the work and staying consistent is the key to anything. A quick fix isn’t the answer. Anything lasting requires hard work and dedication.
Psychedelics got me back into Meditation and Spirituality.
it led me on a path of yoga
Destroys ego, makes sense
me too
Ayahuasca has brought me the gift of ashtanga yoga 🙏
big daddy showed me too much light, I am satiated. Yoga is a way of life for me now.
30 years ago I was travelling in Thailand, and at a meditation retreat I spoke with the head monk about this.
I asked 'is it possible to reach enlightened state with psychedelics?'
He answered 'Of couse! But you cannot hold it. You are too weak. To hold it you need to grow the mental muscles. Meditation will build those muscles.' He smiled and chuckled while he answered, every bit the perfect monk presence :)
This seems to be the recommended treatment post a psychedelic awakening - follow through with meditation on a regular basis.
Makes sense. Still there are other ways like for example doing LOTs of psychodelix and some meditation, some Katy Byron, some eckhart tolle some other non dualistic stuff and away we go. Whatever it is it takes a lot of doing nevertheless.
thats so beautiful got me tearin up i wish everything could remain in its vibration

I've done ayahuasca, since I started doing it it has made me change my life for the better. It doesn't miraculously do it for you, you actually have to put in the work but it gives you insight about life in general.
Exactly!
@Gengar Gang search beerbiceps 's ayahuasca experience
Like what?
I want to do it where can i do it please help
Don't question just try it.
Psychedelics don't let me "broken" and they don't make me more "miserable" than before, they actually help me to understand my true nature of existence and help me understand myself in ways that I have never seen before with anything else, after a psychedelic experience I feel better than before because I get knowledge that help me to know how to live a better life
@Shikhar Choudhary I do meditate almost daily, but the most enlightenment experiences that I've had are from psychedelic experiences
@@Alexbordongarrigos same here
@@Alexbordongarrigos Yes going through the front door by silencing the mind (all chatter and judgement) until there is nothing left... but you! That is a challenging task for many, and obviously the more sustainable and powerful way to connect to the divine. So until that happens, the psychedics are gonna give you the back door "instant gratification" version of the experience, which is awesome, but definitely NOT the sustainable way.
Alex, no, they don't break YOU. They SHATTER the reality that you've created over your whole life in an instant. Really, meditation is about slowly taking that reality apart, brick by brick, or with a sledge hammer at times if needed. It's a much more gentle process then a drugs tend to be. Also, people tend to be able to more easily incorporate the lessons learned from meditation vs doing a substance because it's more gradual.
yeah, it just depends how prepared you are for it and if you have a positive subconsious or not, but as someone who has taken them, I agree that you can achieve the same enlightenment and healing through meditiation. we all learn and experience the same thing differently and i think if people wanted to experience psychedelics go them but personally I think deep meditation has done the same for me! :)
Before Ayahuasca, suicidal, after Ayahuasca, not suicidal and full of joy, purpose and direction.. that has been my experience after 15 ceremonies over 10 years.. do it if you are called, blessings to all ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Ayahuasca is divine Gods plant
I need it for glow my perception of my work
Welcom !
I am happy for you
If only Sadhguru knew I found him because of my mystical experience with psychedelics.. 😂😂
LOL!! This is killing!
really?
Ya ,I also think so
You're not alone 🤝😂💯
@@ayusheesaha8118 Have you?? I've done DMT many times. Yet i don't think i can comment on Ayahuasca.
The biggest problem with people is that they are so lazy and complacent they have zero mystical experience. They do not even know this domain exists. So they have no will to meditate seriously.
A psychedelic experience can give you a glimpse that shows you what's possible. It's an immense motivation for many to actually start this journey and to take it seriously.
I agree 100%.
True.. this is me
Exactly. You explain an important factor that Sadhguru missed completely. Psychedelics are not a 100% solution but a catalyst for self-growth. Some people are too stuck in their old ways to listen to any new perceptions, and therefore it must be “shown” to them.

Just came back from an Ayauasca ceremony with a great shaman (& his wife) from Brazil. It was one of the best experiences that I had and established a deep connection with all natural elements & my mom who passed away. Also, the harmony with myself & the planet was amazing :)

Does your life changes or just gave you inner peace
This is the kind of thing only people who have gone through the experience can talk with authority.
Sadhguru has said in many talks about importance of admitting "I don't know" but I haven't seen him say that about any topic. You ask anything and he will have some strong opinions about it.
Psychedelics are not the kind of thing someone can have an opinion of without having experienced
@@shaileshshep Yes and some are quite mysoginistic (when he says women cant go in some temples basically because they are weaker than men and it´s for their safety LOL) but what do you expect from someone that lives in a country that has a caste system like the one in india
Psychedelics is not child’s play. But Mediation leave you with a profound experience and realisations than tripping on either DMT LSD. It just takes time and will give you access organically.

Mother Aya showed me what I was looking for for so long. She did not tell me what is right and what is wrong. She smiled at me and asked me to see a movie. The movie was my life played in backwards. I was able to witness all my actions and the results. She embraced me and I was able to embrace myself with so much love. I did not fall down after my experience nor look for happiness outside. Mother Aya helped me. Like any other spiritual way, mother Aya is also a gift to us mankind.
The way you speak about Mother Aya is beautiful. ❤
@@vidhyareddyn2714 thank you. Come to Thailand and i help you to sit wth her 🙏
He's a wise man but speaking on a subject he truly doesn't know about. Aya is beautiful and helps a lot of people. Even helps them learn to meditate and connect with one's self better.
Have to agree showing his ignorance here, he seems to think its only purpose is the physical purging. I dare say he has probably never had an ego-shattering psychedelic experience. Though im sure hes achieved similar states in meditiation.
@@KairoSage he didnt say only puping 😑 listen properly

@@brianlittrell797 But how do you know he hasnt had any other psychedelic or mystical experiences? Ayahuasca is not the only hallucinogenic on earth, and you can reach higher levels of consciousness without it. He admits that ayahuasca can give you a push in your path, but he also says, correctly imo, that if you havent earned your spiritual knowledge, ayahuasca will just lift you up momentarily and then just bring you down. Ayahuasca, like any other sacred medicine is a tool, not the path, and sadly, for so many lost souls in the world that cling to anything that gives them a momentary sense of relief from their pain, they see it as this end-all-be-all solution that will simply get them to that famous yet so abstract goal: "enlightenment". I think this medicine is amazingly wise and useful, but you reach a point where you dont need to be sitting down purging or shitting ad going through this sometimes terribly hard experience anymore to evolve in your path. If you need it, that is great. But if you feel like you dont need it, that is great too.
I was positively affected for over 3 months after one 12 minute session. I awoke every morning at 5:30 am without an alarm clock absolutely raring to go. It removed all addiction from me.
It’s serotinergic in action

Interesting. After 3 months back to your old habbits you mean?
@@mradventurer8104 nothing lasts forever, not even the universe
On my very second cup, I melted into and became the Universe (or God, or Cosmic Consciousness, you name it) and I knew we are all one, everything is perfect as it is, and love is what allows everything to exist. I felt eternal and infinite love and understanding.
I'm certainly not an enlightened being, but nonetheless that experience saved and changed my life for the best forever.
If that's not an "intense spiritual experience", I don't know what else could be...
yes, exactly the same for me!
Wonderfully put Sir💫
Advaita philosophy of Upanishads say the exact same thing everything is one brahman
True nature is not an experience. It that which sees all experieincing. Mundane and deeply mystical ones both are seen by awareness.
You ARE an enlightened being.
As wise as Sadhguru is, it becomes clear when he speaks about psychedelics/plant medicines how little he understands about this corner of spiritual exploration.
@Shikhar Choudhary Have you ever consumed plant medicine?
@Shikhar Choudhary Well of course it's temporary...it's not meant to induce permanent effects. Psychedelics are like having the feast. Meditation is like having your regular dinner. One isn't sustainable, but that's not the goal of it. Psychedelics are quite empty unless you take the experience and integrate it into your life. Also, you described doing psychedelics before meditation...that likely influenced your experiences with meditation following the psychedelics. Psychedelics help point your compass so you know where you're going once you get deeper into meditation. If your experiences didn't lead you anywhere, then unfortunately you weren't consuming them correctly. This isn't either/or...it's both/and.
True liberation doesn't come through plant medicines. They just 'show you the house of spirituality but they don't truly let you in.' The path of Self-realization and purification is what leads to true spirituality. Drugs just give you some insights, which may be helpful in the beginning processes of self-awareness, but for me and my experience with aya (over 25 times) is that within a week after the ceremonies i was back to not feeling well.
@@benzenner8826 That's your experience with ayahuasca. Many go on to have a much deeper connection to spirit (such as my experiences). As I mention above, there is work to maintain what psychedelics provide, but it is all the same at the end of the day. Our sober minds are just as chemically driven/altered as they are when taking substance. You can walk the road of spirituality through meditation on it's own...or when you learn how to use these tools, you can be airdropped up ahead (or behind, if they are used foolishly).

The same here, Ayahuasca changed my life
After 30 years of meditation I had 5 Ayahuasca ceremonies and this is definitely a shortcut in spiritual life. If you hit a wall in your meditation practice, Ayahuasca will open a complete new world for you.

@@kingofnothing100 i actually hit a wall in my meditation practice
@@kingofnothing100 bro which country do you live in?
If you are already someone walking through life healthy and spiritual the meditation method can get you there without aid. If you are addicted, conflicted, and have a bunch of bad habits and trauma you may need an aid. Psychedelic are great for a first step but the goal should always be to get to those experiences just by you. We have the ability we just have to be still enough and open enough to allow the experiances to enter our heart space.
Mushrooms changed my life and using them in the right context and integrating the experiences has allowed me to reach a higher state of consciousness without needing them! These plant medicines are an important tool mother earth has provided for us. They open up your mind in the long term, not just during the experience.
Just because he speaks intellectually doesn't mean he knows whats best for you do what works for you if psychedelics taps you into yourself keep doing you
Its all fun and games until its not... having a clear mind isn't granted and neither is a good trip, you will seriously damage you're mind state forever if not carful... its comes down too luck pretty much too, don't see many people talking about that fact
Taking mushrooms a few times a decade ago changed my trajectory and enlightened me to see a relationship between fashion and nature that is now the joy of my life and my work/passion. Truly amazing.
yeah take lsd and watch sadguru Video, that will enlight you...
Yes yes and yes!!
With due respect, I have to disagree with some of the points made in the video.
Firstly, Ayahuasca is a naturally occurring, sacred plant herb. Not chemically manufactured or conjured up in laboratories, to be casually abused. Secondly, it's definitely not something to be ingested for your "casual weekend trip".
If the Ayahuasca ceremony is done by trained/ordained practitioners or Shamans, it certainly becomes a sacred doorway for you to explore higher dimensions or hidden parts of your consciousness that requires working upon.
All trips with chemically manufactured substances or even naturally occurring substances done erratically or without guidance, invariably end with a crash or damaging your energy system, as mentioned in 6:07. Not the case with a genuine Ayahuasca ceremony. That danger is mitigated, with an ordained Shaman performing the ceremony. Another key point is-- you surrender to the spirit or intelligence present in the Ayahuasca herb. Which navigates/handholds you safely during the trip and shows you only that which you can handle intrinsically, without any damage to your system or psyche.
🙏When it comes to any kind of physical harm to our body, you're absolutely correct. Modern medical science is saying so. However another thing we have to keep in mind that, if you liked the experience and would like to experience it again, you have to use that catalyst. That makes you dependent on it. After going through it once, the dimension is not open for you permanently.
On the other hand, if you are able to make yourself capable, you can experience that anytime without any outside help. Proper meditation can help you with that. It'll require a lot of effort, but the dimension will be forever open. If you try meditation for couple of months consistently, you can get a small taste of it.
I would like to invite you watch Ayuhasqa experience story from channel called Beerbiceps. 🙏
@@firstoneread6633 beerbiceps jabardast Banda Hai
I agree with you. Sadhguru talks about vomiting and shitting like a caretaker to clean up after a person. He wants you to experience death but still keep your bowels from not reacting? Lol. I've puked and shat and when I was in front of God, that really didn't matter. And the shaman I was with didn't care either. I respect Sadhguru but he speaks profound sounding rubbish.

@@pinkyghoshonpinkroute it's your perspective I respect it 😂
I met Shiva through my 2nd LSD trip on a mountain. And I also get the point on what Sadhguru is saying. I became tremendously depressed after my 1st LSD experience because I didn't know how to handle it but after I met Shiva on my 2nd, that is where I started building my own foundation back which is far more beautiful than words can express. Sadhguru wants us to get high on our own supply as our body is the most amazing and sophisticated chemical factory on the planet Sadhguru, I'm so grateful that you are here in our time. 🙌❤️
You met Shiva?! Lol you met something you made up. Lol. Even sadghuru said shiva don't exist.
You need doctor, like dude just talked
Wow.. thanks for sharing
♥️
Ayahuasca has been the most healing thing I have done on my earthly journey... You don't throw up every time. Some people never throw up! This is only one perspective...
@Gengar Gang pleasssee
I agree! I only threw up the first ceremony and that’s it. It wasn’t that bad either.
If you eat well or do the diet 2 weeks before... you will go through the experience without suffering too much with the purge. If you eat processed food and drink alcohol you will suffer during the purge. Also, don't use weed for 2 weeks before aya. Força e luz!
Experience is key here, it’s like me trying to explain what it’s like to see with my eyes when I’ve been blind all my life. I’d suggest only talk about what you truly know in your heart.
I’ve done over 50 plant medicine ceremonies (ayahuasca, San Pedro, peyote, Santo daime, psilocybin, Kambo) and very rarely thrown up. I’ve never felt addicted to any of the plants- quite the opposite in fact. I’m forced to feel the emotions and energies in the mind that I had suppressed. Now after all that experience, I have reached a point where my practice is just sitting and not interfering with my mind. It took all that to get to this point of simplicity I suppose. Back then I felt a desperation to get enlightened so I would push myself to the brink with the medicine, thinking I could accelerate the process. But now I realize that just to sit and close my eyes and allow everything to be as it is, is the actual shortcut. Infinite patience leads to immediate results ❤

Lsd allowed me to open myself up to realising the true nature of self, it wasn't primary cause but I believe it assisted me, I don't value the experience lsd gave me above any other experience. The experience of consciousness alone is bliss a million times better than lsd, but I'm glad it put me on the right direction to find salvation through the vedas
@@celticdeamon567 Perhaps you misunderstood me. All of this experience is part of brahman. there is nothing separate from Brahma. Anything that appears separate from brahma is still brahma. This universe is part of Brahma, LSD Is part of this universe. LSD is just one part of brahma's total experience, I have realised Brahma, and I have realised that there is nothing outside of the experience of Brahman. This knowledge along liberated me from needing ANY from of external tool to ease, what I thought was, suffering. I'm not necessarily saying that Brahmah is above LSD, that would make no sense. I am simply saying that LSD Is part of brahmah and does not give as much pleasure as knowing brahmah alone. LSD, psychedelics and drugs are included within Brahmah, but this doesn't make them inherently good things on their own. Rape is included in Brahmah, and nobody can say rape is good, yes? Nor does anybody say that "Brahmah is good" Brahmah is just brahmah, goodness is included within him.
I think, most people understood my message but I should have put it across clearer. LSD helped with removing the ignorance that the mind is the self, this task did not require the knowledge of Atma Bodha, but rather experience from WITHOUT the mind. This is dangerous and I donn't recomend people loosing their minds, unless they're ready for it and skilled. I was. I wanted this experience and have no regrets, where it has leaded me is complete solace and contentless knowing in my true self as tat tvam asi. Exploration begins at realisation.
@@rall4688 now you're talking.
@@badghost12344 anxiety can be seen as either excitement, or nervousness. How you decide you feel decides your feeling. Anxiety is just a product of the mind/body/subtle body vessel in which you temporary posses. You are the awareness of the changing mind and body, you are not the mind and body.
You do not have a fear of death, nor do you have anxiety. When you're in deep sleep, where has your fear of death gone? Why is it not present there? Because the mind is inert. The mind belongs to earth, the witnesser is utterly unnafected by anything. The dreamer only appears seperate just as the reflection of the sun on windows and cars appears to show us many suns, using the intellect through the process of negation (neti neti) there is only one sun. One consciousness, one eternal unchanging Brahmananda upon the lotus that springs fourth so effortlessly
We are from the light, rejoice in your true nature. Let go of attention, and simply be here and now. There is no suffering, there is only being. As soon as the mind superimposes things that you are not, we suffer. Discernment is key. Neti neti.

We drink water cause we are thirsty and need to it survive.

@@stevebirch4897 you got it all wrong,

@@khaswrang7887 People also get addicted to Yoga, and there are all kinds of unhealthy habits of attachment, guilt, and self-abnegation that can come up people's approach Yoga. I'm very pro Yoga and Meditation by the way, but they aren't always consumed like water, even if they are fundamentally water. Ayahuasca is nothing near sweet like Coca Cola, and is just as likely to drag you into your shadow side than raise you up ecstatically. Point being, they are different modalities with different aims, and sometimes, Ayahuasca can serve a beautiful purpose to help people confront and work through trauma, forgive, and connect with a depth which clears space for working in the everyday with a new ambition towards the spiritual. So I would say, Ayahuasca can be like water in many ways - it can clean, clarify, bring tears of healing, revitalise, help flow and move on, connect and carry. It is only superficially comparable to Coca Cola, only in the sense that it changes your state, but even then it doesn't say anything about that state and what happens in it. Anyway, Namaste!
@@khaswrang7887 sadghuru is wrong just look at the comments, for most people meditating or yoga is a joke until they try ayahuasca. People are very unlikely to experience anything profound with just yoga and meditation simply because people are busy working. They have their place just like most of these other plant medicines from the americas.
Those who have not peered through the looking glass cannot form realistic beliefs on what is seen on the other side of that looking glass.
I know a man that took ayahuasca in Peru. This plant showed him a saint (sufi) man in Morocco and said to him that he is his spiritual master. So he made the travel to Morocco and he met the same man showed by the plant.
I know this is unbelievable but it's true
I’ve experienced supernatural things on psychedelics. Makes sense😂
I don't doubt it. I took ayahuasca in Peru and it has forever changed my life
Everyone has their call at certain point.
It can be with sacred enteogenics or meditation. We should respect each other' s path
@@NaturalNutritionist333 can u explain how it changed your life?
@Mizu Ka Can you provide the contact information of the place and shaman your friend went to in Peru?
Ayahuasca is a teacher in the same way that Sadhguru is one.
Thinking that Ayahuasca is THE path is like thinking that Sadhugur is THE path: They are not.
They are just beings (one is a plant, the other a human) with a higher consciousness trying to guide and show the way to those who are seeking.
But ayahuasca alone (or watching Sadhguru's videos and doing mindless yoga alone) will not take you anywhere.
At the end of the day, each of us has to walk our own path.
The work is a personal process - regardless of the teacher.
Guru's (and plant teachers) are just there to provide a map and a clear light so we can walk without falling so much.
That's all.
I've done ayahuasca 50+ times, working at a medicine community in the mountains of Colombia and I have seen both cases:
People who have drank the medicine 100s of times and are still where they started
People who drink it once, do their work, and completely transform their life. (we're talking suicidal people, depressive ones, criminals and more literally turning their life around after a profound experience)
I'm sure the same happens at the Isha institute - there's plenty of amazing people who have grown so much from the practices..
And there's the rest who may be doing the practices but aren't really committed about their internal growth.
Again, you don't need ayahuasca to grow spiritually...
But you also do not need Sadhguru either.
The truth is that in these times, a little help does not hurt.

I was a hopeless alcoholic until I found out about ibogaine. Been sober for almost 8 years now and it's been easy. No AA, no cravings, no struggle, no nothing. I'm cured.
Purge was definitely a big part of the trip. As was being bedridden and helpless for about 3 days.
Primitive stuff compared to what a wise guru can do, Im sure, but there weren't any around.
But people who have gone through Ayahuasca treatment, they claim their life has changed in a positive way.
So do drunkards.
@@beedebawng2556 not true
I have taken ayahuasca for over 7 years now, and I can say: Sadhguru is right. But then, so am I.
It's not for everyone and it requires a lot of care and skill on the part of the shaman in order to really being a healing experience. If you ask me, I'll say it's extraordinary and that everybody should try it; but then again it's not wrong not wanting to try; it's a matter of perspective. My opinion on this issue really doesn't matter, neither does Sadhguru's - only your opinion matters.
If you wanna try ayahuasca, do it; I only strongly recommend you look for a serious professional, research his background and ensure he's serious and a true healer, and only do it if it's in a proper setting and you feel really comfortable - taking ayahuasca is a ritual. I totally recommend against taking it to get high, it was not made for that and will give you serious trouble.
It gives you an illusion of that. But no progress is really made.
@@malathichintala6935 or maybe a glimpse of what your progress could be?
Whether Sadhguru or Ramana Maharshi , they are showing us that the illusory experience of this world is happening from within you. Returning the Mind to its source is the only way to experience the ultimate reality. So everyone must atlast come to this realization. Ayahuasca can be a glimpse but not a solution. As with any substance.
Very well said.👍🙏
Very wise words.
I think people need that glimpse in order to get started on the real work
@@9H9VN9 mind it 🙂 it comes with consequence and not with consciousness.
I like your brilliance. Nicely said
It is all about immense possibilities and not thinking what worked for one is the one and only way it is going to work for others. The point of existence is unity in diversity. You are the same star dust as I am. Aum
I love you but I totally disagree. Ayahuasca has been used for thousands of years. It has only resurfaced because of the need folk has to heal from things that they may not be able to otherwise. I just hope & pray its performed by true healers.
Slavery is used for thousands of years but that doesn't mean it's right.

Peace, health and happiness to Sadhguru and everyone here.
I rarely disagree with Sadhguru, but this is one such moment. In my own experience with various entheogenic compounds, Ayahuasca included, there is indeed the potential for profound, deeply meaningful and outright mystical experiences, but this comes with some caveats.
Ayahuasca and other entheogenic psychedelics are simply technologies, tools that require certain techniques to use. Take a stiff dose of ayahuasca, and you will indeed have quite the experience, possibly even transformative. Take a weaker dose, and the mind is relaxed, vision can turn inward, a deep introspective experience can be had. It takes diligent effort and understanding to apply these substances in different ways, but they have their uses.
My own mystical experiences brought about by psychedelics were deeply moving, reaffirmed my love of life and of all beings in the universe and motivated me to reinforce my meditation and yoga practice. Treating these substances not as magic short cuts to enlightenment, but as tools to help those of us who choose to use them to further our practice opens a world of possibilities.
There is nothing spirtual about it . The very fact that you want to take psychedelics is a psychological aspect that contains desire for shortcuts, quick solutions ,intention. So DMT creates a delusion which makes you feel content but in truth you are under the deeper illusion of mind. You lack the comprehension to understand the profoundness of spirituality.
@@phoenixj1299 Though I see your point, I must disagree on a simple basis - you have no authority over my experiences, nor I over yours or anyone else’s. What works for me may not work for you and that’s fine, but don’t assume to dismiss the whole thing out of hand because of that.
I think Sadhguru is a gifted mystic and amazing human. I love his books and his talks - but I also like it when he talks about things he actually knows about and has done.
How can he have such a strong opinion about something he has never experienced? He compares it with LSD and other drugs, but those are chemical compounds made in a laboratory.
I have never done Ayuhuasa, but I have met many people who have. I don't have an opinion on the experience because I have never done it. All I know is that it is a medicine that has been used for thousands of years and that has helped MILLIONS of people. Not all of us have the pleasure of having a transcendental moment on a hill in our 20's that transforms us into yogis.
I think Sadhguru should save his opinion for the the topics he actually knows about, which is thousands of other things that I would rather hear him talk about.
yah, no doubt psychedelics are a marvelous tools for healing/expansion not to be abused as a source of addiction of/c. I suppose what he is trying to reinforce is that we are capable of having such experiences of a psychedelic nature w/o having to turn to something externally. We can produce DMT naturally too. The layers of conditioning can make it ever so difficult though.
True. I guess he says these things so that people don't think psychedelics are the only way to get a spiritual experience. But I agree there's nothing wrong to try them once in a while. I had amazing experience with them ❤️
@@faizam5789 I'm personally not convinced that you can get there without them. You can certainly access altered states of consciousness.

@@DMTmates who knows tho, maybe...just maybe. the likes of Sadhguru, eckhart tolles, ramana mahirishi and other regular unknowns, are able to facilitate such things at will? I can confirm I do not know.
I did LSD a few times at Uni. Now having practiced Zen meditation for over 20 years I totally agree with Sadhguru.
LSD ain’t ayahuasca!!!
@James Norris Yes it is. I understand that Ayahuasca can get someone suffering from severe depression, (which I experienced for 3 years in my 20s) out of that abyss with a powerful spiritual experience/sense of inter-dependency that has the effect of kick-starting the spiritual process. It needs a highly experienced guide and is not to be played with, especially by spiritual tourists. I used Zen meditation and the Medicine Buddha sadhana to do the same. These practices are a lot safer and you don't have to travel to the Amazon etc to do them, although I assume for the tourists this is all part of the adventure.
@@StimParavane Ayahuasca is not like other “psychedelics.” You would never say it if you tried it.
I agree with the Guru as well. The point of a guru is to eliminate ignorance. someone who is a “dispeller of ignorance” is the direct translation of gu-ru.

Sadhguru gets that right. The body is intelligent enough to produce sufficient portion of DMT as reaction to asceticism or some sort of sadhana. If you use drugs its always an invasion with more or less bad consequences. The guru does not need direct experience with Ayahuasca because there is an archive in unconsciousness plane where every human experience is inscribed. On certain level you can dwell there and experience whatever you want. This priviledge have mystics all over world to taste the richness of the life and to be able to give it up...
I have experienced Ayahuasca and Mescalin and I am grateful for what I was shown and lessons learned. Amazing experiences.
Can you share your experiences 🙏
Athul James I would love to but it is kind of impossible to do here. I will say though that if one does take these things it is really important to be ready, prepared spiritually and have strength of mind. They are powerful teachers.
How did you experience it...i don't find the way..why don't you guide me?
I had one experience with mescaline. Incredible
Can’t believe he called it addicting tbh, if you have done psychedelics it’s not something that you require on a daily basis 😂
After my experience with Iboga, I actually experienced (not as a mental concept) that half of my breathing apparatus hangs on a tree, literally like Sadhguru says all the time. My Iboga experience actually motivated me to pursue spirituality further and I enrolled myself in Inner Engineering. I have been doing Shambhavi Mahamudra daily for the last one year since and never had any urge to participate in a Iboga ceremony again. So, in my opinion, plant medication can act as the first step in your spiritual journey but a powerful practice like Shambhavi Maha Mudra is needed for you to make real progress. I say first step because I’m sure most people can’t even comprehend what Sadhguru’s actually talking about because they have never experienced any space between themselves and their psychological drama. So they won’t have the motivation to follow through a spiritual practice like Shambhavi because they have never even had a glimpse of what’s on the other side. For example, once you experience something like accessing Akashik records even temporarily, you will become sufficiently motivated to pursue a spiritual practice diligently. That type of experience will stay with you for life 🙂
This is very well said, thanks for sharing and I totally agree - psychedelics can be a great first step.
Iboga is African. Where did you experience it? What is Shambhavi Maha Mudra?
What is akashik record?
Commented just to see the answers to the questions
@@milee105 me too
I drank ayahuasca 25 or so times, there were some great insights and sensations, temporary Unity Consciousness and love/bliss, but overall it left me feeling lower within 5-7 days of the ceremonies because I knew i couldn't sustain the feelings that the plants gave me, I unfortunately had no integration therapists to work with, which they offer at some centers in Peru. My ceremonies with Yage/Ayahuasca in Colombia were powerful for clearing my digestive track though, which may have been helpful then on a physical level because my system wasn't healthy, but there's other ways to heal that, like water only fasting, a lifestyle high in non-refined whole plant foods, and regular herbal parasite cleansing. I think for someone whose just starting on the spiritual path some plant medicines can help 'jump-start' the God within, but in the long-term it's not sustainable. True awakening isn't through plant medicines. It comes through self-purification and many yogi guru mystics teach sustainable methods of Santosha/liberation. One yoga teacher who had lived in ashrams in India once said to me that drugs "show you the house of spirituality, but they don't let you in."
Beautifully said. I think that last sentence is important.
bunch of bullshit. psychedelics are the way. yoga teachers don't know what they're talking about. you yourself admit you didn't even go through the recommended steps.
Yeah, with Plants you don't need Ashrams, Gurus, Priests or anything else, we can experience the real world beyond the veil directly 😉
I agree it's not necessary to take medicine like ayahuasca for a deep spiritual experience. Everything is already there. But in my experience ayahuasca is not only working on a physical level, like Sadghuru says. Mother Ayahuasca is a great teacher and works on all levels. And it doesn't break you, I can be challenging, yes. That's why you really should do it with a great healer, who also helps with integration after the ceremony. It's one way of many, no way is "right" or "wrong". For me working with ayahuasca changed everything in my life, I'm beyond grateful for this medicine.
What will be the amount charge if we go for Ayuhuaska?
I agree with your view- based on my personal experience and through facilitating others🌿
💗💗💗
Thank you for your kind words.
I have seen the great benefits of Ayahuasca, first of all on those that have strong addictions. These plants help you to release all your addiction and is scientifically proven. All plants are here for a reason and it is up to us to be aware about the use or misused of them. I just can tell how many people has healed from Ayahuasca and I’m Grateful.
ok but it will used for Brainwashing too.
DMT showed me that I was a Buddhist and Yogi in my past lives. My ancestors came to me. Now I believe.... Now I know when you're around protecting me... Now I know the essence of who I was , who I am and who I will always be, with this enlightenment is now inevitable.... In this lifetime or the nextsss..
I will be going on a Ayahuasca retreat next month... Looking forward to it. There is so much to be said. Just do it, be an observer when doing it so that you don't fall into a dream state and fall into delusion. If you fall into delusion you will think what is happening is real and be scared. Fear will cause you not to learn what is being taught. There is no good or bad experience. If you go into it with a mindset of compassion and have worked on the wrongs that you've committed no matter how bad they may seem you will be forgiven because they will see what's in your heart.
Slow and steady brings a strong foundation of way of being: Meditation, sound eating, and exercise. Why make it harder by skipping steps and try to jump to a destination faster... the journey is our life.
If it was actually skipping steps believe me I sould go for it, but as Sadhguru said, it is no shortcut, just a heavy cleansing, no consciousness at all in it
@@Omar-bustos1997 It definitely is consciousness. Not 'heavy cleansing'.

It is plausible we evolved with the help of psychedelics. Now more than ever we need their help (again). Most people will fail to find spirituality with such a disciplined approach as meditation. Spirituality by meditation alone is likely a modern concept in the grand scheme.

Psychedelics are just an extension of our subconscious it's just getting dependent is the issue. The less things you need the better but they open doors for many people
Through Ayahuasca I realised that I'm a yogi. I think psychedelic substances can be used to overcome a spiritual stagnancy or help someone become conscious of the spiritual process itself. Problematic is when you keep coming back to them and don't establish a sadhana.

Its always good to see a man speaking on subject he clearly knows absolutely nothing about! This way we learn to stop wasting our time on them.
Precisely 👍
His description exactly depicts my experience of ayahuasca (around 25 ceremonies) and other plants...it creates a temporary awakening and set me back down into bad places...true awakening comes through self purification and self realization techniques that ancient Yogis teach. Aya overall is not good in my opinion, the first few ceremonies in Colombia did purge my digestive track quite a bit, which was helpful though on a physical level, which is another thing he talks about as well, but there are other ways to do that.
@@benzenner8826 Your experience is very different from countless thousands of other people who have tremendously benefited from ayahuasca. It has helped many people to heal and grow spiritually in a very powerful way. It certainly doesn't do all the work for you. You still need to meditate regularly or do some kind of spiritual practice that quiets the mind and takes you deep within your being. But ayahuasca for the vast majority of people when done with shamans that know what they are doing is very healing and empowering and facilitates spiritual growth in a powerful way.
Let's not throw away the baby with the bathwater shall we

I disagree. Psychedelics are a great way to open your mind to many aspects of our minds and the world around us. You need to integrate these experiences and not just chase them. It is possible naturally but people who are in dark places or are unable to regularly sit with themselves sometimes need a way to see things from the other side.
Truth doesn't care whether you agree or not. DMT creates a delusion of mystical experience with you. From that point onwards you will have trouble differentiating delusions with reality. But it won't be the case if you believe your delusions to be true .DMT makes your spirtual path way harder than a common man.
@@phoenixj1299 this is so narrow-minded. u act like you know what goes on in everyone's head like you are god it's very silly to see ppl say stuff like this. guessing from what u said I don't think you've tried any psychedelics or at least didn't learn from them.

@@jillcoleman2337 He's on Instagram with the below handle
I am not talking from the perspective of someone who has reached awareness, but what you said about Ayahuasca not being a shortcut makes a lot of sense. I think ultimately whether one chooses meditation, Ayahuasca or both is a matter of personal choice/predisposition, but there should always me a proper guide/support to make sure that one understands the experience preventing one from going “crazy”.
Dearest Sadhguru, I wanted to tell you that I follow you a lot and admire you, you are contributing to the growth of my spirit and that of millions of people. I recently attended a 12 day ayahuasca retreat/diet. Having previously participated in a vipassana meditation retreat, I found many similarities between the two experiences. To the point of considering them complementary. From my humble point of view I believe that traditions so different but both so ancient and wise can find points in common having the aim of healing the spirit and the soul. The Amazonian medicine center that I visited has as its objective the treatment of drug addictions for which a six-month retreat is foreseen. The "vomitive" part of the cleanse involves only two hours of the entire 12-day process. The ayahuasca ceremony itself lasts 4 to 6 hours. I agree that the plant elevates the mind and then everything returns to normal. But the days following the intake of ayahuasca are of meditative isolation and silence in the Amazon forest, and, with the help of psychologists, they are used to analyze and metabolize the intuitions that the plant suggests and amplifies. Each era has a different approach to resources. Today in the field of "Western" medical research we are rediscovering how LSD itself can be used in medicine for research on mental disorders. As well as for ayahuasca and addictions. To date, the ayahuasca ceremonies only partially retain the ritual aspect that dates back to more than 2000 years ago. In the center that I visited in Peru it is mostly used to help with the analysis directed by psychoanalysts to overcome addictions to substances such as alcohol, marijuana, etc., as already mentioned. Therefore I can only draw positive conclusions at the regard. Having known people who after the treatment have overcome this problem. Finally, I believe that, like all things, it is the intention with which one approaches this type of experience that makes the difference. Having said that, I will not stop meditating and following your precious advice. Dear greetings. David
This is the first time I see Sadhguru completely wrong. He has no idea what Ayahuaska is, and talks from a place of ignorace and prejudice.
@@debojyol1 I see you guys do not know anything about what you are talking about. First, chemically LSD and DMT are very similar, both are tryptamine-based psychedelics, and high dose LSD can certainly reach or surpass ayahuasca on intensity level. Second, all these chemicals do is silence the default mode network in the brain which in charge of the concept of "I", time and memory, so his analogy stands. Thirdly, meditation practices certainly can reach any types of psychedelic state without tolerance, come up, come down. Don't get me wrong, psychedelics can be beneficial as myself have benefited hugely from it, but as Carl Jung famously stated about psychedelics: "Beware of unearned wisdom", that's why people should practice more and stop constantly looking for a short cut.

This man never say no to any question. Have some humility and say you don't know.

One cannot ignore the therapeutic value of psychedelics in a proper mindset and setting. One shouldn't use it as a shortcut to enlightenment although it's easy to see it that way. This is understandable. But I think psychedelics should be treated with reverence. It's one of the most valuable tools humanity has and we should use it wisely and be grateful this technology exists.
But they are not spirtual.
I appreciate your view on these hallucinogens, however, experience with some of these substances can truly change your life from misery to joy. Not that it should be used constantly, but when someone's mind is so full of constant chatter and their body is incredibly out of balance chemically, this can bring them back to a level playing field, where they may be able to heal. It can be an indication of how the body and the self are different.
More often than not it just ends in addiction though, and most addicts aren't even aware they are addicts. Very rarely in this world has taking these drugs improved anyone's life in the long run.
@@mybluebreeze1995 addiction to what? Ayahuasca/lsd/mushrooms?
People addicted to those psychadelics happen to be very rare.
They aren't very addictive in nature.
There is no need for Ayahuasca, everything can be known in Stillness of the mind "The Creator is with you, with the Presence. Come into this Presence. Come into this Power. Take reprieve here. Take comfort here. Find peace and strength here, for this Presence is not threatened by the world and cannot be destroyed." The Night Meditation - NewMessage org
I disagree. A thousand years of meditation or stillness couldn't replicate the experience of Ayahuasca or any high dose experience with a psychedelic.
I could be wrong, but it sounds like you have zero experience with Ayahuasca etc., and if that's true, you'd be unqualified to advise others on this.
Also, Sadhguru is wrong around 5:30 as psychedelics are NOT meant to be a permanent experience, duh.
See:
"Alienation from nature and the loss of the experience of being part of the living creation is the greatest tragedy of our materialistic era. It is the causative reason for ecological devastation and climate change.
Therefore I attribute absolute highest importance to consciousness change. I regard psychedelics as catalyzers for this. They are tools which are guiding our perception toward other deeper areas of our human existence, so that we again become aware of our spiritual essence. Psychedelic experiences in a safe setting can help our consciousness open up to this sensation of connection and of being one with nature.
LSD and related substances are not drugs in the usual sense, but are part of the sacred substances, which have been used for thousands of years in ritual settings. The classic psychedelics like LSD, Psilocybin and Mescaline are characterized by the fact that they are neither toxic nor addictive. It is my great concern to separate psychedelics from the ongoing debates about drugs, and to highlight the tremendous potential inherent to these substances for self-awareness, as an adjunct in therapy, and for fundamental research into the human mind.
It is my wish that a modern Eleusis will emerge, in which seeking humans can learn to have transcendent experiences with sacred substances in a safe setting.
I am convinced that these soul-opening, mind-revealing substances will find their appropriate place in our society and our culture."

No, then how do you know? As a person who's experienced both, experiences of bliss through meditation are MUCH more powerful. Sadhguru has also said a FEW can use this to liberate themselves, but it's also a tiny amount of people who can do this. You don't seem to understand what actual striving for the ultimate gives you. If you achieve the Ultimate nature, you can replicate ANY experience possible, which COULD be achieved by years of Meditation or any Sadhana

I wish he would have Ayahuasca experience - he wouldn't then dismiss it so carelessly. Long time ago I had dismissive attitude as well, but it changed after having actual experience. In my case it took few sessions to tune in and be able to surrender (I think surrender and trust is the key for Ayahuasca; but I guess it is a key to all important things/practices in life). But once I just surrender from beginning - magic happened. I had the deepest, most beautiful spiritual realizations and insights I will never forget. I had my last experience year ago. It was extremely deep and beautiful. I don't want to have another one until I feel that I integrated and understood the lesson from last one, even if it will take 5 or 10 years more. And I integrate it through meditation and contemplative practices. So it's not either this or that - no need to divide, fight, discredit. Just open the heart and mind and see divine in all...
I have tried it once, what a beautiful profound night that was, natures inner engineering minus my bank account emptying out.

As I understood from what Sadhguru says in this video, he is not completely discounting the power of psychedelics. At various points in the video he says, "it gives you temporary access", "it can cause extensive damage", "it's a painful process" etc.
He's proposing that there is a less painful alternative. So all he's saying is that he wouldn't recommend them.
As others have also mentioned in the comments section, he can't straight off say that psychedelics are great because then people will start abusing them .
In India, there's a small sub-culture that takes a unique approach to spiritual awakening by integrating the use of hallucinogens and other substances with traditional methods. Contrary to more extreme practices, they seek to achieve heightened states of consciousness naturally. They emphasize the use of essential oils and healthy traditional herbs that are neutral to one's psyche and brain. This group believes in balancing the potent effects of these substances with the gentle, supportive properties of natural herbs and oils, aiming for a holistic and harmonious spiritual experience. Their approach is thoughtful and respectful, valuing the natural capabilities of the mind and the nurturing potential of the environment, and the theory of absurdity comes into play here, and it's not a practice to be undertaken. It's akin to opening up your brain and filling it with hot boiling oil, and you don't achieve anything but rather cause harm to oneself and the others who are of the same group.
He is absolutely right. Psychedelics put a strain in the body and mind, they tax the system in exchange for a temporary experience. Plus nobody mentions the "bad trip" experience which accounts for a large percentage of these psychedelic trips. Lazy people wanting an easy way in... While sober meditation requires work, it can actually grant existential experiences while enhancing the body, mind and energy system, as well as allowing you to access these experiences at will in an integrated manner. Stop confusing a psychological shakeup with a spiritual experience. But what can you expect from people that identify themselves with the body and mind at most? Remember: anything that is truly worthwhile will require you to work for it wholeheartedly (not just popping a pill lol)
There are no bad trips only learning trips. Sometimes people don’t like what they have to learn
I agree that you shouldn't take anything you aren't ready for or called to but I believe Aya is sacred and connects us to mother nature and the earth in a very deep and healing way. Grounding through meditation is important too on a daily basis but I don't think ayahuasca should be labeled as just a hallucinogenic. It can described as such but it's also a sacred medicine. With its own spirit and teachings. It has a beautiful way of working with the individual and afterwards isn't a come down it's called integration and its peaceful and present.
Psychedelics don't leave me flat far from it, actually guide you back if you get off track. I don't think there is a bad trip, you can overdo it, but it will leave you analysing why this or that was seen or experienced and it helps immensely in appreciating life. It's like a reminder this is what pure love feels like, You can achieve similar with prolonged meditation but psychedelics are just more fun
I can only say that I have benefitted tremendously from ayahuasca and mushrooms in a way that I really dont think I could have done on my own (the purge of emotions they allow in a night would take many years to achieve), having said that they are indeed external tools and we cannot rely solely on them - we need to apply the lessons we learn on the daily life.
Where to find them in India?
Obviously psychedelic uses goes against his interest, his business of spirituality. I was hoping at least he would be like “I dont know”. The fact that he appears to be so sure about the experience suggests that he used it though.
I agree with you thank you
Mullah.. as if his business is going to get affected whether ppl do ayahuasca or not, funny you 😂🤣
@@techacademy9458 good that you admitted, he is a businessman
You seeing a spiritual guide as a businessman shows your mindset and where you stand. He's not against it, anyway. Kindly rewatch the video with a different mindset.n
@@akshayakrishna_1188 you made a claim “he is not against it” without making any point. No substance except I need to watch it again. I can go further but I guess that would be just waste of time.
Everything is about intention and having an open mind about many healing modalities.
Like many ayahuasca has changed my life.
Namaskaram @Sadhguru - may I ask (most respectfully) if you have received ayahuasca from a traditional shaman?
I Am appreciative of you sharing your perspective & if you have not yet had a direct experience with this plant medicine, this commentary is a personal opinion - no different than if an ayahuasca shaman who never meditated shared his opinion on meditation based on how he perceived it to be without ever trying it himself 🙏
We need to be clear about this because many devotees & followers who watch these wonderful videos and attend satsangs may close the door on an experience that I have personally found to be beneficial alongside a daily meditation practice.
I can see how your message may be confused as dismissing a spiritual practice that carries a very long lineage of ancestral wisdom that is intended to expand one’s consciousness at an organic pace, especially when facilitated by a guide who is well trained - similar to the benefits of meditation.
Ayahuasca is not meditation & vice versa, so we cannot compare apples to oranges.
Bless you for your courage to speak on a topic of tremendous spiritual significance & sacredness 🙏
May we all enjoy a prosperous spiritual life, honoring each way of retuning to love 💗
Many blessings & aloha from Hawai’i 🌈

@Gengar Gang Aloha Gengar! I can only share what I have experienced so far in my journey with ayahuasca. One notable improvement I notice are a deeper appreciation & respect for this precious planet we call home. I have minimized lifestyle choices + habits that damage my body as well as the environment while opting to live a life that is sustainable and regenerative. I Am open to share more details if you are curious -- feel free to send me a private message. Many blessings :)

Thank you so much for this beatyfully crafted reply. I totally agree with you. 🙏
Not at all. You don't need to experience death in order to know that falling from Eiffel tower hurts you. There is nothing spirtual about it . It only makes the spiritual path harder than any common man. It makes your mind control you than the other way around. You will face incredible distortion on reality. The very fact that you want to take psychedelics is a psychological aspect that contains desire for shortcuts, quick solutions ,intention. So DMT creates a delusion which makes you feel content but in truth you are under the deeper illusion of mind. You lack the comprehension to understand the profoundness of spirituality.
@@phoenixj1299 aloha Phoenix! I appreciate your care in expressing yourself. Have you experienced this plant medicine yourself?
Instead of discouraging people to go for the experience. I would have appreciated more, if he had spoken about working with your shadows for a while before going for the ayuaska experience. Well! What I read between the lines is If everybody can experience higher states consciousness for themselves, by consuming a halucegenic then we probably won’t need a Sadhguru!
When you're using hallogenics all the time, it's not healthy. Is it? You're depending on something to help you grow spiritually and that's also a kind of addiction and attachment. Whereas SadhgGuru is a guide. You don't have to 💯 percent agree with him on everything and don't have to be dependent on him but you can of course take his words of wisdom and seek the truth for yourself. You can automatically experience a lot of things in this case whereas on those methods, you NEED these herbs which gives you some experience.
@@akshayakrishna_1188 and what is wrong with nature dependance? u are depending on nature to live, to breathe... people have been using substances for a looong time, in times where listening to inner self was easier (because there was no fast city life) and there is no better way to explore inner and outer universe!
Dear Sadguru, you have so much to learn on your path to enlightenment.
lol
Qué se puede esperar de un gurú multimillonario...
@@margrethafner1440 totalmente de acuerdo. Además, se le ve en la cara cómo le gusta el dinero
Right?! He seems a bit triggered too!😮
Iol😂
Ok, I adore Sadhguru and I am a medicine woman and I must say he is very much speaking on something he obviously has ZERO experience. And the plants rarely make someone so disoriented that they soil themselves and we don't run around with buckets. We lay gracefully and experience. Yes, there is purging and believe me, we eat mostly non-food in USA and our alimentary cannal does need purging and so do our toxic emotional states as well. I personally have been in ceremony with people who have ended years long addictions to multiple, harmful street drugs with no withdrawals. So while there is definitely need for Sadhgurus ways, consecration and teachings, there is also space for plant medicines. And they often spark the desire for the practices Sadhguru shares with the world, which leads us to a place of striving foe enlightenment. So in my humble and personal EXPERIENCE in this matter, they can and DO work very integrally. And btw, some people never purge by vomiting or diarrhea, some cry, some laugh, some sleep, etc.... Grace to all and may we all choose what is best for our own path in this beautiful time and space ❤ And I would add that I have been with SG in shambavi since 2019, and have added other practices of his to my daily rituals and they very much work together with the plant medicines I share with those who need it. And I tell them of my guru also, many have cleansed and also taken IE...
Well said
What I grasp from this video is and imo, if there exists a different dimension of consciousness in us, it can be better reached without external stimulation or help, because it can only be reached by being natural and by disconnecting consciously the senses from external world, and slowing down the cycle of emerging thoughts. No ayahuasca can replace the space that we can create by being natural and master of senses.
You are on a right path....
Well, DMT exists within you naturally 😉
Ayahuasca has compound called DMT ( dimethytriptomine) which is found in pineal gland .but DMT levels in enlightened beings' pineal gland is many times more than normal people.
It is this compound DMT which takes you to the experience which happened to Sadhguru on chamundi hill in 80s

Yeah, which is why doing it without any external chemical intake, and working from within yourself can only lead it to be a full fledged living experience

This is what happen when people comment about something they have no idea how they work on it, to comment on something at least they have to try first.
10:48 "You want to promote your compulsiveness as consciousness" - SG
So true,I can see now how I get mixed up compulsiones for consciousness. Thank Sadhguru for bringing clarity to the my life, to the world🙏
It's not compulsive because usually people do these substances just a few times. They do few times because they bring back knowledge and wisdom from those altered states. Sadhguru is missing the point: people take these substances, not to feel good, but to reflect and discover what will make them feel good (after they are sober). They are not supplements or something to take regularly.
Understand that this medicine may be the only way to actually get enough people to care about eachother and the planet before the damage is permanent. Many people wouldn't be looking into peace, love, unity, healthy food, meditation and yoga if it wasn't for psychedelics. Do you blame them for using the tool to get there slightly faster? Why do you care about how people work with their spirituality? You think that using this is like a dependency, but these substances are not addictive and mushrooms are completely natural. You could introduce them as microdoses and call it food... As far as I know you are all about eating healthy food, right??
I really don't think you have any idea about what you are talking about, everyone who has experienced these beautiful medicine knows that you haven't tried it, because your conservative and closed minded opinions about them clearly show that. And why do you speak about stuff you have no experience with?
Will always love your wisdom and videos, blessed be
☮️❤️
Yes they help people see something they may have never seen before, AND yes it can become compulsive later on! We want this ecstacy but dont know how to manifest it naturally. That is what I think he's trying to communicate.
You want to promote..... this point hit me hardest as well!
@@rodrigoneves3628 Totally agree with you
I have participated in a few ceremonies and never need to do it again. The one ceremony brought me directly to the light and the love I felt must have healed my nervous system because my bulging disk pain that was severe, for 2 years. Completely went away.
I now know the love of the Divine truly exists and now I focus on the inner journey but without this…. Would this have happened? I can’t say but it was a huge benefit to me.
It also got my brother off heroin and meth.
Some people don’t take the time to do the work yage suggested and keep going back. That’s when I think it becomes an issue.
Sadghuru is on a different level of highness you can't achieve with drugs. But drugs can give you a glimpse of the highness that can be achieved from yoga.
If he is naturally so high then what do you think will happen if he takes ayahuasca?
@@Izakokomarixyz it would disturb his natural highness. He has no reason to take it. I took ayahuasca a lot of times and it is very profound but he is still on another level. Ayahuasca is medicine. He doesn't need it because his mind is very healthy though practice. I think we would just trip like everybody else is when taking ayahuasca.
For those who use drugs like this, the experience becomes the truth. For those who put in the hard work in finding the truth, the truth becomes the experience.
Before my first LSD experience I was an atheist, depressed and with an unhealthy body and mind. I was already watching some videos of Sadghuru, but I didn't understand everything. After that LSD experience I knew there is a soul and higher worlds, I turned around my whole life, got happy healthy and finally understood the other videos of Sadghuru that where too far out there for me before.
So glad to see all these souls challenging this guru . He is talking about things he has no experience with . Aya is magic ,and very wonderful .
I only buy from a reliable source on IG and no other. They have been delivering without disappointing
hes not wrong.
aya is tool. there are many.
