    The point of Psychedelics (not stimulants or anything else) is to reach a divine state, and once the substance wears off it is our responsibility to do the work to reach that state of mind while sober and clear headed.

      I somehow agree with you, but not about reaching that divine state. You know why do you enjoy a drink, some smoke or psychedelics? Simply because you somehow get a little distant from your memory. Memory is quite useful but if you always carry the burden on your head peace will be a far off thing.
      Memory is useful when you need it, like if you want to remember something and use it when needed. But if things pop inside your head when it's not needed or your imagination is running wild you get away from the moment, which is all that is. Psychedelics and other similar mind-altering drugs, simply let you stay in the moment.

      @@99shivansh Yes my mistake "divine state" was a bit of a stretch lol. But although I no longer use them, psychedelics don't have the same functions as a drink or a smoke. It is not a pleasure substance. It's very rare for someone to come home and look forward to an intense psychedelic experience. You do not forget any troubles on them rather they intensify it so you can release it. With cannabis and alcohol you tend to be able to numb yourself temporarily. Different from pure psychedelics. But I learned what I had to learn from them and now get to those states sober and clear headed.

      Well i can agree with you largely, peychedelics arent like anything else. Tbh i am grateful, that i did acid. It made me realize how blindly i am living my life and there are literally infinite possibilities when it comes to being life.
      But i can say onething that what sadhguru offered to me is much mch much more than anything i have ever tried. I cant even compare it with psychedelics.

    the reality is, the point of psychedelics is to shock you out of the material obsession, to give you a whiff of the truth, if you can experience the divine at least once, you will be much more interested in self inquiry, isn't it?

      The risk is that psychedelics or the "experience" become the new obsession with an attachment to a false "spiritual" self image. Yes me I know the truth, I saw god, I am not like them, I do mysticism, when in reality it is just a trip induced by a substance. Yes it is powerful in its therapeutic effect and opening. But it does not make one become better in itself.

      @Adam A. The very important point of healing and purifying your mind and body is to sit down and seek inside your head the source why you feel darkness, depressed or frustrated. No mushroom or mind-altering drug will heal you, they're useless, only for fools. The human brain is so powerful, we live in a corrupted society that promotes plants to make you feel better instead of teaching you the power of the meaning of life without any substances. In my opinion, the most greatest form of healing your spirit is to meditate, and seek inside you what hurts you. By all that, you'll be purified and healed. This kind of meditation makes you being honest with yourself, and it can turn life-changing in good ways. Also let me add the fact, the studies claim substances like LSD and mushrooms can damage your brain and make you addicted in escaping reality and shit, and it can trigger paranoia and schizophrenia to people with prediposition. So, instead of risking your mind, just meditate and all problems will be solved. Sadhguru has learned from the mistakes and experiences of others, thats why he is wise and he can speak his opinion about psychoactives. Nobody needs to swallow a chemical to experience the "magical effects" to speak out a so called amazing trip. Geeze.

      @xroselilith0560 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Adam A. You just explained the good side of the psychedelics. Have you done research about the dangers of them? Studies and scientists have already said them. People with prediposition of depression, schizophrenia, and other mental illness, can develop them into worse by using these substances. Check here for example: www.drugabuse.gov/publications/hallucinogens-dissociative-drugs/how-do-hallucinogens-lsd-psilocybin-peyote-dmt-ayahuasca-affect-brain-body
      www.evergreendrugrehab.com/blog/psychedelic-drugs-may-risking-bad-trip/
      The articles explain that its possible for these substances to cause permanent damage to a person's brain. Its naive to tell they are completely safe.
      I'm a patient of natural medicine, homeopathy and doctors never prescribe subtances and chemicals like that.
      Have you heard of people who were taking these substances for a very long time and ended up in asylums? Well, i doubt the human brain can last healthy for long using psychedelics, lets be realistic.
      Its true that psychedelics arent addictive, BUT since they disconnect you from reality, you can VERY possibly get addicted to that alternation. NOTHING that alters your mind so heavily is always positive and safe.

    I remember this video. Each soul has their own path to walk. And none of us know anything. The wise are wise because of their awareness of how little they know. Give 2 people the same substance and you have 2 unique experiences. 1 may find their soul, 1 may find their demons. The worst thing anyone can do is project what's good for themselves on another. Anyone who follows another's path is walking into a trap. Any real help is givin by turning a person away from you into themselves. Each person has thier own unique path to walk. How can you tell them how they should walk it. It's not anyone's right to do so... don't listen to me or sadhguru, listen to your own soul, and whatever you find there, share it, but don't push it on anyone. Namaste.

      Fr man. I think that Psilocybin Mushrooms (and even lsd) can be a very useful tool to help change people's lives for the better physically and mentally in order to lead to healthier, happier, and pure joyful lives. Mushrooms helped this way. I take Mushrooms 🍄 around 1 time around every 2-6 times months so I have good intentions, mindset 😌, and overall readiness for the experience. I take a little note during the experience and then a lot more notes 📝 right after it's over and then I work on the integration for however long I feel I need to work on what the mushrooms counseled me on. I do medication too along with wim hof breathwork (especially when I'm trippingon mushrooms🍄). I honestly think that if most people on this earth (that have the ability to like probably no pscyzophrenics or bipolar people...) does this method or a similar type of method that I do then all war in the world would end and we would have world peace ✌. But everybody has their own beliefs and way that they run their life so I can't and don't want to force this or anything on anyone.

    • @danmackenzie6153

      I think that that sadhguru is actually on track for what most drugs are which is just and enhancer like coffee, energy drinks, cocaine, and for some cannabis and also like dissociatives that kinda just make you feel good (sort of) like alcohol and THC. But for true psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms and lsd(not including cannabis even though in edible form it's really close, but not the same) the "price" to pay isn't there like the rest of the other drugs unless you're literally like taking them everyday or misusing them by somehow just using them as a party 🥳 drug (if you can actually do that without getting freaked out). So that's just about it with psychedelics. If you don't misuse them then the only price you're paying for them is the 💵 it takes to grow them yourself, synthesis them, or even buy them from someone else.

    I have had 8-10 shroom trips till now.
    The maximum dose I had once was 4.5g of African strain.
    What I realised from my psychaledic trip is that if we don't abuse them they are actually far better than smoking, alcohol and even marijuana. It helped me with my addictions, went through the phase of self realization, ego death and got interested in sprituality and mysticism.
    Some chemicals and plants in this world actually do have healing powers. Nature is like a treasure, it's still unexplored.

      @@bekeneel B"H.There is a possibility that he does understand even if he never took DMT,mushrooms,LSD or the newer forms. I haven't heard him more than 8 times,but I have been learning Torah deeply in Hebrew for 42 years very much as well as some during my younger years. I see in him, also having had been merited to teach children for 24 years some very good things. Notice he mentions drugs that are Not mind opening. yet I have heard him in a video explain how he was always considered odd by his father for simply sitting and observing. I have had mystical revelations more powerful at times than LSD (I did LSD 21 times,alone for 6 years). I have known great rabbis who have been on that level and higher most of the time while having their feet strongly planted within the world of action, so it's possible by some Indian teachers too. Having raised 7 children into adulthood and an orphan besides, and as a teacher too, much of what the teacher (And the Infinite One especially) does at times is hide certain aspects to make the student crave it even more to search himself, or is also ready at any moment the teacher sees that the student is receptive it is communicated to him.HOW do you know that any certain teacher is communicating a lesson to a whole group and at the same time communicating something added to the lesson at the very same moment? Imagine if he says "go ahead" and a very large amount of people will not be able to handle it NOW, but might later? Our Rebbe who gave Torah over during4,5,6 hours at a time on the average of 4 times a week to 8 thousand people publkically while people around the world saw it on video and in earlier years via telephone hookup internationally EVEN for decades to his many students in Communist Soviet Union where they had no power to stop him (physically). Now, in Torah it says "The student who relearns his lesson 100 times is not on the level of one who learns his lesson 101 times" ie, went that much deeper. It is learning that the soul thirsts for like a man who has not drunk water for a few days in the heat.You relearn a second time, a third, 101 and each time the same words are the medium that the Infinite One uses to give more.The same can be from doing good deeds, being joyful in worship, and being extremely loving to others, ALL others we will ever meet. The lesson suddenly in the middle of a person singing a Chasiidic melody alone, or with hundreds of comrades all of a sudden G-d reveals more of what we relearned.Its so difficult for a younger person to understand that yes, in your present Carnation you can get to do what you need to do here in this lifetime.So, I am not saying "NO". As King Solomon wrote in the Holy Spirit :There is a time and a purpose UNDER heaven.(But NEVER above heaven,because the whole purpose is ONLY to bring HEAVEN here to physical earth so even the very stones who have a soul level will proclaim along with all the 4 kingdoms of physicality the glory and Infinity of G-d.

      He does know and is not telling the whole story - Sadguru does not mention, but all Yogis know, is that even after one trip, you give a part of your soul.. In the etheric (on your left side) a darkness grows, even after one trip... Trip,,,Trippp,Trippp and you become totally black when I see you in the etheric, until the soul or higher self is gone.. Also the ONLY real way to see or feel the devine is by going within to find AGAPE or samadhi. Once you have become AGAPE or SAMADHI you will realize that ALL the trips you have taken are a bad counterfeit of the real thing... Im not hear to judge you, I have been there...

Not that I fully endorse psychedelics, but I do not exclude them as being tools, like anything. Risk involved yes. But what doesn't? It is also a risk to hermit oneself for years of meditation. A path can go many ways, and not a single way is excluded because all is learning when the right intention is understood. Psychedelics need to be balanced with integration and other practice, but then they can be quite helpful. Like training wheels, and yes one day they are to be let go of. And if you are serious about asking $95/hr to clean black ooze from someone's aura, then the depth that you have gone within yourself can be much deeper, and so you are not speaking from Christ Light, but righteousness. Ask yourself, but most likely you are taking a past spiritual experience and owning it as something you are now, tho now you speak from a ground level consciousness, not a state of samadhi, or Christ Consciousness, so be careful.

      when you die your third eye (pineal gland) in your brain will produce dmt in order to initiate the transfer of consciousness from your physical to your astral body. By the way, if your third eye chakra is very active it also produces dmt to connect to the mind and emotions. Lucid dreaming the same... its a physical molecule that helps to connect to the non phisical union. Yoga

    I have done psychedelics in my life and had pleasant experiences. Yet, I see them like spiritual fast food. You temporally fulfill an immediate need but ultimately are left unfulfilled. As Sadhguru said, you are the most sophisticated and complicated chemical factory. Through many different practices you can experience the same effects naturally. Just yesterday I had my most profound meditation session yet, it was very similar to a DMT experience. My inner awareness was consumed with red/orange light which opened into a beautiful fractal space very similar to an Alex Grey painting. Then all the color formed the image of a meditating Buddha, I then remembered early in my teaching (if the Buddha shows himself to you, cut off his head for he is not the Buddha), so I cut off the Buddhas head. As I cut off his head, he began to multiply and fragmented into hundreds of Buddha, I kept cutting off their heads and they kept multiplying and turning into clownish Buddhas which were mocking me... then I realized, it was my head that needed to be cut off. So I cut off my head which was an act of killing my ego. Once I cut off my head, I went deeper into the experience "the rabbit hole" and found myself in a new plane of understanding. The ability is in all of us, you must practice the process to obtain the outcome.

      It was windy, raining, and cold out. I spent the day practicing mindfulness, remaining conscious of my breath, and being aware of my physical self and how my body reacted to the elements.
      As the day was coming to an end, the rain clouds broke, the sun came out, and I was drawn to a large stone on the beach which was very different from all the other stones around it. This stone had many straight lines engraved on its surface which crisscrossed, it did not seem to be of natural formation. I was overcome with the sensation to sit on this stone and meditate, without second guessing I sat upon it and began deep breath of fire techniques. My inhaling began to move from deep within and moved up into my higher self, my pelvic tightened, I felt a surge of energy flood up through me and over me, I no longer felt the elements of cold within my physical self, that is when the red/orange light filled my inner self and I was in the flow.
      After I had cut off my head in the meditation, I fell deeper into a different understanding. I found myself on an endless plane of soft blue-white light. I focused on the light and it began to fold in on itself, yet at the same time spilling out of itself. The only thing I can think of close to this would be T1000 dying in Terminator 2, when T1000 is morphing in and out of all the shapes he had taken. Then a blue and white stripped snake emerged and came at me ready to strike. I was not afraid of the snake so it dissolved in front of me and collapsed in on itself. I too was pulled into this vortex and found myself in a deep sense of content oneness. All color had faded, I had faded, everything was nothing, nothing was everything.

    Drugs and substances have always been used to experience a deeper or more pleasant reality. Ram Das (Professor Alpert) along with Timothy Leery were the poster children for LSD in the 60's. Ram Das, in his early years before meeting Neem Keroli Baba felt that LSD was the doorway and pathway into Infinity. But he was so disenchanted by the fact that when the drug wore off, he was back to his impoverished state of consciousness. Upon meeting his Guru, he relinquished drugs and replaced LSD with devotion, meditation and service. But even high in the Himalayas, struggling Sadhaks who cannot attain have resorted to organic drugs such as hashish and marijuana but even stronger is soma. Soma is a cactus that grows at extremely high elevations and must be processed properly. Yogis have taken soma and were able to stay in meditation for long periods of time to study their states. Swami Rama observed this phenomenon and was offered soma and tried it. He got sick and had to perform stomach washes to purge it from his system. He was trained to enter into states of higher awareness naturally and by practice and effort. Hey, I never tried these drugs but I am sure they offer some insight but as Ram Das found out, the drugs wear off and you have entered a chemically induced state of awareness that you never acquired the ability to maintain so you fall back into your mundane existence and it might start an endless cycle of drug addiction.That being said, "PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY COFFEE AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

      I somewhat agree but after mushroom trips i have not gone back to where I started even months after not taking them.
      You can definitely retain allot from a single trip, even if it is only a minuscule percentage like 1%.
      It is like going from level 10 to level 100, the next day you do not fall all the way back to 10, you remember what you learned, and saw part of it sticks with you and how much is in part up to you.
      The experiences that are possible are something you can still be learning from 6 months later........
      Maybe there is some small hidden downside to LSD, but from my 2 LSD experiences the after effects and part of it sticking with me were very much like mushrooms.
      On my LSD trip I came to terms with everything I couldnt before and even if that was not completely permanent 100% of the time after he trip ended the experience had a lasting impact and just remembering that experience from years ago still benefits me greatly.
      Sometimes getting out of your bubble even for 3 hours can have a lasting impact on you, and of course there are the people who have their life completely turned around by psycadelics, you hear it with LSD, mushrooms, DMT
      sadhguru is an example of someone who really doesnt need mushrooms or lsd, hes already up there, his mind is already still, he has already found great balance in himself

    Its amazing how many people heard this and just aimed to disagree based on such minor discrepancies.
    Hes speaking above the issue. Its not the drug it's the premise. I loved psychedelics and many other things. However truth is you are not capable of all higher functions when using them.
    He is saying that we seek false enhancement vs the natural enhancement our bodies posses. And these ideas of enhancement come from compulsions. When we think of compulsions as freedom we become misguided. We seek a substance to fulfill vs being fulfilled. Our body is the most advanced chemical factory on the planet it does not need drugs. Simply used in correct proportion they can have some positive effects. However you can achieve these same effects in many other ways without them. If people have a defective state of mind they will become defective. All that is happening is those who seek to justify their defections are angry.
    Just because something is popular or legal does not mean it is okay.
    He used examples of workplace to show that there is time and place that it's not to be accepted without proper caution and rational thinking.
    Any substance being looked to for enhancement of the body and is viewed as needed for the body is a lie.
    The body needs none of it. What it is truly is awareness. Enjoy what you wish if you found a way to gleam insight or pleasure from something enjoy it if you wish. noone can control you. Just be aware that it's a choice not a nessecary thing. That it by default creates a false narrative.
    We can achieve all states of higher consciousness and awareness without the use of any substance.
    We can achieve pleasure and blissfulness without drugs.
    But we do not know how therefore we use them. And people capitalize on that flaw and continue to do so.
    That's what he was remarking about with the legalization and mentions of other substances.

      I think you are missing part of his arguments. He mentions that he thinks it is maybe ok to do until you are 35. As an aging psychonaut that recently tried ayahuasca and microdosing again to gain some clarity in life, I have to agree with the thought that once you get the message, hang up the phone. It just isnt the same as it was in my twenties, before i began meditating and truely working on myself as a person to be mindful and compassionate in everyday life. I never thought I woudl find myself saying that, as I used to advise anyone and everyone to try psychadelics and still am so thankful i had the chance for them to open up my mind.
      Wise men can often see through a question and tell a person what they need to hear, in a different situation i think he could understand how for example lsd therapy or ecstasy for ptsd could be positive, or how certain people need mind expanding drugs to get them out of the rut of society. But there is a much, much larger portion of society that just uses substances to escape, and no shortage of psychonauts and new agey people encouraging psychadelic use, so a bit of moderation may actually not be the worst advice in this particular situation.

Exactly as he said, its a fine line and most people gets thrown off. No minced words there.

    Person A : I understand and I can let go my attachment to external chemicals and use my own internal chemicals to create happiness.
    Person B : I respect sadguru, but I will let this part of my Ego take over and decide to disagree, because I can't let go of external happiness.
    Person C: I understand, but I am not ready to give up external happiness.
    Funny that in the comments you only have A or B people who agree or disagree, same like in sports, religion and politics.
    People follow this content to feel some spiritual happiness, but when there is something you can't give up you disagree.
    Just observing from a distance I don't judge, agree or disagree with anybody , as e verybody is in his own place on his path.
    But I do notice many people coming across peacefull and kind, yet they miss an entire message which is explained by many examples.
    And the goal only for him was for you to learn how to use your own chemical happiness, instead of needing that external.
    But the ego makes your eyes blind, your ears deaf, becacus some people only hear and SEE lsd is bad, ganja is bad.
    Again this is a trick from your ego. Because you are unconsciously scared of losing YOUr identity your ego starts playing mindtricks with you
    and fights for it's survival of the identity with whatever you can't let go.
    sadguru repeated many times he is not against uses and can't forbid it.
    Also for the people who think he has no expierence with the matter, this is a very blunt black and white judgement.
    It has been proving your brain can create it's own dmt, people can astral project without usuage of drugs. My point is somebody who has practiced meditation
    and being still for years surely is capable of things you can only experience when you are high.
    Usage of external chemicals has helped people get out of trauma or unblock certain thought process which were bad for them, but it is the attachment to keep
    repeating these expierences that becomes the addiction to the external, because it is not used as a pathway to be aware of your problems in a sober state.
    Good luck and have a fun life.

There was no show. The Great Guru in His State of Infinite consciousness was absolutely unaffected by the drug and the dose was lethal, enough to send a brontosaurus into nirvana. Anything compared to the Bliss of Infinite Consciousness is powerless. Sadhguru is talking to the masses. People here depend on him and follow his every utterance. This Great Mahatma is supremely wise and careful. If he emits any inkling that drugs can in some way be beneficial on rare occasions for selected students -- well now, many of his millions will misinterpret themselves to be amongst the select rare students to be awarded the drug experience. Absolutely everything that this Mahatma utters is carefully documented, scrutinized and archived for posterity. And he is cares about his people and would never mislead them. He is a phenomenon leading many people to "The Promised Land of Milk and Honey." All of His ilk are great in their own right and all have a different way of teaching. But He is moving the whole world. He is a World Teacher. An incredibly straight-shooter.

      Why would you think he meant the message for you? In Torah it talks thousands of years about the types of teachers and students. And all teachers in Torah are always students. One type takes in everything and it spills out like a funnel. Some take in nothing and receive nothing. Some will be like a wheat sieve :take in what is there beneficial and "leave the chaff". The chaff might be that G-d gave the teacher a headache, the good student senses that and it will not bother him learning while another sees some negativity. ALL humans while we are essentially souls temporarily working as husband and wife in the body know we all have ego, even the real humble people who do compared to (me) seem not too. We leave that as chaff, and keep to the essential lesson. Then when listening to a teacher a person must become only an ear. Take it all in, don't use your present logic at the moment now.Nor what you have learned until today or realize anew now. AFTER the class the student should use those faculties. We are taught "He(she) who relearns their lesson only 100 times is not like the person who relearns it 101 times.Western teaching gives the facts, if you have a memory or such, its a great help, then you get TESTED,graded and blah blah. The idea is to make the facts, the learning the knowledge of the teacher part and parcel in your very soul and they will become united, learn it yet again 102 times, yet more!Doing this for many decades it works!

    I think a great deal of America's problems are economic, and the result of an improper articulation of land rights. It's the right to exclude others from the natural world through force. We must pay rent for the privilege of merely existing in physical space, or making use of natural resources. The cost of rent (which is from the land, not the buildings) continuously grows. More time, resources and pollution are spent merely to keep up the pace. The works of Henry George have the solution.

    I feel DMT is Unearned knowledge. I felt like people my age (25) that haven't done it were definitely more attached to their personality, which I actually adore. Its beautiful to see people who think very highly of themselves and are left wonder about what lies beyond. It creates a dreamy version of the afterlife that I think DMT can alter in the user due to the fact you will encounter the divine when you go far enough.

    It says a lot about Americans' level of impatience and need for instant gratification when they think that taking psychoactive drugs is more effective than training your mind. Or when a psychonaut thinks that doing LSD for 5 minutes is just as enlightened as a monk who’s done 10,000 hours of controlled breathing. Meditation has a slew of other developmental advantages besides just the mystical experiences, including improved focus, improved patience, better temperament control and empathy with others, and stronger brainwaves. The states induced by psychedelic drugs are first of all, outside external sources, not things manifested naturally and organically from the mind itself. It’s the difference between taking steroids vs learning how to train. Secondly, the states induced are always inherently different bc through meditation monks practice mind purification (getting rid of past trauma, impure thought and actions), so when they have these mystical experiences it’s often the most unfiltered reality, while through drugs especially with un-purified minds who don’t even have the patience for daily mindfulness, the psychedelic experiences are filtering through a lot of ego, suppressed emotions, fears and anxieties-causing those "bad trips" that psychedelic users talk about. Lastly, in meditation higher realities of consciousness is a controlled state of being like choosing to open your eyes or close it, with drugs it’s merely a trip that you are brought along for, whether you like it or not. Meditation trains you to control your reality and experiences it as you please. You are the ultimate master, and your heightened sense of consciousness follows you as you go. In LSD or mushrooms, the drug controls you. You are going along through your trip as a passenger until the buzz of unnatural amounts of DMT subsides. And for many people who’ve tried both, they claim they’ve never experienced full enlightenment through drugs. At most, the trip was just seeing the door, but true enlightenment was walking through it.
    I hope that younger people will find the patience to actually learn discipline. And not try to rush everything. Sometimes things that are worked for are better appreciated when obtained than things you can buy from your dealer at an EDM concert.

    I love the mystical stories here aimed at appreciating the culture of discipline AND the keen observations about psychedelics not being the same as hard-to-kick, addictive narcotics. It would seem that in order to navigate a very gloomy, capitalist world though, that humans need a much more brilliant balance than just purely traditionalism or magical modernism. Maybe the original "enlightened" beings were those who stumbled across naturally occurring psychedelics and just so happened to be living in a more open and majestic environment. Maybe from their offgrid, tax free, time alone and in the womb of the wild they were able to divine exact methods for aligning Self with Nature. Maybe psychedelics are a sacred and powerful item, a tool most will not be able to wield properly without abbrasive training and DISCIPLINE. Just as most will not reach the esteemed plane of a guru in this one lifetime... 🤷🏿‍♂️

    What he's talking about is becoming RELIANT. I'm all for psychedelics. I know how to take them and get positive results. So this is from someone who has used them for enlightenment. It's interesting. What GOT you to that point soon becomes in the way within that single trip so why wouldn't it happen over time? Same with weed, it helps you higher your vibration until a point to where it actually gets in the way. And I love it because you're not meant to rely on that forever and that's what I feel will happen over time. Humans are humans of habit. So once you've gotten your inspiration or whatever it is you feel you've gotten.. began taking the responsibility to reach that point SOBER. It's the way it's meant to be.

    Very political answer. We all know that he’s knows a lot more then he is saying. I have heard him in another instance say that he knows a few people who have undergone life changing experiences because of lsd experiences long in the past. There is a video of this out there if you look hard enough. In this video though I 100% respect the message and position because of who he is and what he represents. But anyone who reads this please understand that phycedelics are in no way similar to other drugs that cause chemical dependency as Sadhguru explains the dangers of in the video. It is literally impossible to become dependent on most phycedelics for many reasons. One being the insanely quick tolerance build up. A normal phycedelic user does it no more then a 0.5 to 4 times a year. I personally had a few experiences and have now decided that I don’t need any more experiences. And it’s now been over 6 years since I last used any kind of phyc drug. Psychedelic drugs can be dangerous when used irresponsibly but in no way can cause dependency. They are the absolute best way without a doubt that an individual can have an experience which breaks metaphysical barriers such as negative though patterns, addiction, depression and more. With just one trip, for many people, if enough is taken and is done responsibly entire lives can be dramatically changed in profound ways. The exact kind of ways that would make you be more intrigued to watch Sadhguru meditate and search for truth and answers to the endless questions that the trip trigger. I urge anyone who wants to have an experience with the potential to re- set and re-direct your entire life in a direction towards spirituality or more so towards spiritually please look deeper into phycedelics. In 100 years or so maybe shorter maybe longer people are going to be wondering why we didn’t take advantage of phycedlics sooner and ridiculing those unaware of the profound benefits and not in support.

    The tagline was his insights on psychedelics and the question was about micro dosing LSD yet he rambled on to talk about Olympic athletes dying (who died from steroid use having nothing to do with psychedelics), caffeine, cocaine, and other things also having nothing to do with psychedelics. People have also died from motorcycle accidents and yet I don’t hear him judging motorcycle riding (which he does himself).
    When asked about what it is like to die, a wise Zen master answered “I don’t know? I have never died.” Clearly Sad Guru has never tried psychedelics and therefore has no business talking about it.
    Many people’s lives have been saved by psychedelics because it contributed to their healing of trauma and depression infinitely faster than years of meditation might. Ram Das (who has a lot of experience with psychedelics) answered the question concerning psychedelics with much better clarity when he said that they will introduce and show you the mountain top or the Christ consciousness but will not keep you there.
    I like to think of psychedelics as a crutch. I will use just one metaphor about crutches. When my children were learning to walk as babies, they used crutches (like a sofa, chair, or table) to help them stand and balance enough to walk. They might have walked without them but the crutches were helpful as they began walking. That said if they were still dependent on for years after they began walking, that is an indicator of a dependency and the same is true about psychedelics (even though they typically do not cause chemical but only psychological dependencies). At some point, a wise person realizes that there is nothing outside of them that they don’t already have within.

I can prove to you continues use of dmt and lsd that none of that is true. I would say mohammed ala jesus god buda and vishna indian god and egyptian gods all have control over us. Like a narcissistic partner or mother we are manipulated through love and fear if we dont adore and worship these so called gods. Thst exist in every culture in humans. Some stories say we come from aliens like the dogons in africa. Other stories come shamans in south and central america were a beast came from the cosmos and has render us by giving us humans the mind of an alien who is vicious. This guy michu kako and other scientist that i admire like neil degrassy and Richard dawkins are married to science as a religious person is married to their beliefs. Even though science is healthier atomic bomb comes from science. They are going to be stopped in their dead bed like Chris hitchens and captured by gods aliens or elves or jokers who once they send us to sleep they say deja vu deja vu bye 👋! The agenda behind is because we are food for them. So is up to each one of us gay straight black white cristian muslim indian native hindu or whatever you are . death is the only thing we all have in common and if we dont find out how we can take control of our body and life we will be sent back to this reincarnation while the beings continue to benefit from our slavery. Not to mention the slavery we alresdy live in this earth inthe rat race. I know im close to the truth. I havent been able to smoke dmt properly i have it but i been burning it and wasting it. I contrary to joe roegan or terence mkenna have no interest in talking to light beings unless it involves my total freedom here on earth and in the second attention our eternal soul. Good luck my fellow slaves. Ps.. I dont know it all... But this guess is pretty close. We humans will find more truth in a ceremony of mushrooms dmt or lsd than science or religion.

    Love the discussions . Not sure I agree with Sadhguru on the 10 to 15 years cocaine being legal. I believe, "too much of anything, turns anything bad. Just because something becomes legal doesn't mean doctors Taxi drivers and pilots will start using. Rule #1 Too much of any good thing turns it bad. What most don't understand is people will do what ever people want to do. Right or wrong left or right up or down for a good reason or not. I believe it all starts with "GOOD PARENTING" weather a person will grow and mature and do good deeds in he or she's life. What a man can do or what a man cant do. That is the question.

In North America, we have to take a good look at how sick our society is. There is so much that can be done to teach people they have the power to change the lives they hate without resorting to alcohol, sugar, drugs or other harmful practices.

One is an integrated part of yourself that sustains itself by itself more easily, while the other is an invading force that is more prone to resistance and delusion.

      Sadhguru always says he wants people to drop their nonsense, and that is often exactly what psychedelic experiences do for people. Psychedelic drugs aren't a tool for generating well-being, but for destroying the veil of ignorance which makes people incapable of being aware of anything besides the mundane world. No amount of yogic practice will benefit a person who has not glimpsed the presence of transcendent divinity in their experience - only after bearing witness first hand to the true depths of their ignorance can such a person begin to truly seek to overcome it through yogic practice.
