I\u2019ll write a few things down as I think of them.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been thinking, from time to time, about my mistakes in the early 2000s, when I wrote commentary on the scriptures and thought that the best thing I could possibly do is to push the absolute limits of my spiritual perception and understanding, in order to be able to write things down \u2013 the exact yoga techniques to be used, the exact levels of purity required for certain things, and so on. This was such an incredibly naive and autistic view of things, I cringe every time I think of it. That would have been absolutely useless, and it reflected only my own desire to do the absolute maximum while I\u2019m incarnated \u2013 touch the utmost limits, write it all down in form of manuals for the future generations of yogis, convey my knowledge to students who will establish a living tradition, so that I would check every possible box and God would let me out on good behaviour. \ud83d\ude42 Occasionally, reality would snap me out of it; for instance, I used to say some of it out loud in front of one of the students, how I would like to have a yacht in order to be able to go to some completely desolate rock at sea, where I would be as far away from humans as possible in order to be able to do things that require long, uninterrupted streams of consciousness; it\u2019s hard for me to even describe how those things work because of the limitations of language. Basically, imagine striking and keeping a single \u201cnote\u201d of energy\/emotion\/consciousness, very narrow in \u201cfrequency\u201d, the way a laser or LED light of a single wavelength is in the spectrum of light, observing what exactly it does in the energy system, how to cause it, how to remove impurities, how to maintain it, how to turn it into something else, and how to extinguish it. The guy I talked to (actually talked to myself with him around, apparently) concluded that this is certain evidence that I\u2019m spiritually fallen because why would anyone want a yacht if not for hookers and cocaine. It sounds funny as hell now, in a sense where you can imagine a mathematician talking about fields<\/a> and trees<\/a> to a farmer, who keeps trying to understand what fields this guy is ploughing and what kind of trees he\u2019s growing, but I didn\u2019t find it funny then \u2013 I didn\u2019t find it anything<\/i>, in fact. My reaction was a blank lack of understanding, a total disconnect between what I thought their problems were and how I can help them overcome them, and what their problems actually were and how they understand the world around them. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessarily bad, mind you. I think it\u2019s actually good that people are confronted with someone who exists in a way so different from them, it pulls them out of what they think is reality and what they think is \u201cnormal\u201d, because you can\u2019t really guide one gradually from one to another by explaining it \u201cin their language\u201d. You can\u2019t explain yoga to a whore using her \u201clanguage\u201d of pimps, drug dealers and \u201cclients\u201d. You need to snap them out of their world and show them that \u201ctheir world\u201d is basically a form of madness and garbage unworthy of attention. The problem is, if it doesn\u2019t work, the whore will think pranayama and vipassana are some forms of kinky sex from Kama Sutra, and conclude you want to fuck her for free, and I would guess that this, oversimplified as it might be, is in fact close enough to the root cause of the issues arising when a very real guru is trying to teach what is usually described as \u201cnormal people\u201d. A \u201cnormal person\u201d, from a position of a yogi, is caught in a whirlpool of insane delusion and attachment, completely ignorant of all reality, with consciousness that looks like content of a garbage can mixed in a blender. From a position of a \u201cnormal person\u201d, a yogi\u2019s motivations are completely incomprehensible, and they keep trying to translate his words into their language of hooker-drug dealer-pimp-cocaine-blowjob-get paid-buy drugs. The difference between a really fucked up human and a human that is so good they are a potential student candidate is, basically, in how long the garbage was left in the sun before it was put in a blender. That, I think, would be hardest for people to understand \u2013 that I didn\u2019t really think that my students were anything special; I thought I could basically take anyone who wants to listen, show them the direction and the technique, and if they practiced it enough, things would start happening that would basically lead them towards enlightenment, one step at a time, where after a few steps your position is quite different from anything conceivable at the starting point. Also, I didn\u2019t care if what they thought and felt is \u201ctrue\u201d; I only cared about the energy frequency and intensity, and whether it\u2019s pointed vertically or not. You see, people in general have very weird notions of what\u2019s true, that basically assume their general picture of reality is valid, and if something deviates from it, it\u2019s false. A yogi, however, knows that only God is real, everything else is comparable to some video game, that is to say it is a persistent, convincing illusion, humans are energetically trapped by investing energy within the illusion, and trying to feed off of diminished reflections of their own energetic investments, and it\u2019s all insanity, it is all false. It doesn\u2019t really matter whether you believe that the sky is blue or yellow; a yogi perceives your beliefs as either useful, if they can cause you to disentangle yourself from the illusion, or harmful, if they promote further entanglement. In a very real way, a yogi knows that God is true, everything else is falsehood and nonsense, and whether you believe in fairies or electrons, it\u2019s all the same to him. If you believe in fairies, he\u2019ll try to talk to you in terms of fairies, if you believe in physics he\u2019ll improvise something in terms of quarks and protons, but what\u2019s actually important to know is that a yogi doesn\u2019t really believe in any of that nonsense, he\u2019s just trying to speak to the patients of a lunatic asylum in some way that would influence their energy system in a positive way, and turn the garbage smoothy in their minds into a coherent-ecstatic energy flow.<\/p>\n I get flashbacks of this when I hear the Russians explaining their position, and then I hear the Americans and their vassals interpret that, translating Yoga Sutra into pimp-hooker language. It\u2019s actually funny in a weird sort of a way.<\/p>\n Putin: \u201cStop trying to make a dirty bomb, it\u2019s going to escalate into a nuclear war.\u201d FML \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ll write a few things down as I think of them.
