Can Ayahuasca Give An Intense Spiritual Experience? Sadhguru Answers 

Psychedelics got me back into Meditation and Spirituality.

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.

"Psychedelics can give you a peak into the garden.. but if you want to stay in the garden, you gotta do the work" 🌻🌟

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

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.

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...

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.

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. 🙌❤️

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.

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.

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...

I did one ayahuasca trip in Peru 7 years ago and my life did a 180 degree turn and lead me to India where I lived for 4 years studying meditation and yoga.

If you've ever been curious about who you truly are, then this is something that you NEED to see...

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

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 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 ❤

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.

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. :)

Psychedelics made me start doing yoga, and it also made me vegetarian.

But people who have gone through Ayahuasca treatment, they claim their life has changed in a positive way.

There are times in life when even the smallest words or actions are infused with the most exquisite meaning.🔥

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.

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

it all depends on what you want and your attitude toward it. you could have an intense spiritual experience looking into a glass of water.

This sounds more like an opinion than knowledge. My own experience has been vastly different and profoundly positive ❤

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...

DMT saved my life. It brought me from being an atheist to someone highly spiritual. Made me get off hard drugs and completely change the way I carry myself in every aspect towards the positive. I had a lot of trauma since I was a child and it was holding me back and I was able to work through it because of DMT and mushrooms. I realized the powerful potential with them and respected it. It was absolutely not recreational but 100% therapeutic. When I say it saved my life I truly mean that. I’ve never thrown up. I disagree with this video.

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.

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 🌈 Giuliano

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 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.

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.

really like sadhguru teachings, bit i believe he is wrong about this. he is talking about a culture he knows nothing about. his analogy about the 10 million dólares is completely wrong, not accurate at all.

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

For realized person their is no need to experience of any substance because all is with in oneself

that's the only question I've ever wanted to ask Sadhguru!

Sir you know no more than anyone else. The universe is inside you. People who talk and talk actually have the least to say. True knowledge is silent.

He clearly never tryt it. He shud try it first before he makes his judgement about this 2000 year most holy drink of shamisn, for sure it wil change his mind. But he wil not do that ofcourse, but in his not knowing he is holding people back from spiritual Awakening and that is a sad thing to see happening here. I never became awake if it wasnt for Ayawasca for starting this amazing journey. It gave me my life back. Just see for yourself and then judge, you wil thank me for it :)

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!

Sadguru is not deniying anybody's experience here. He himself said people went into transcendetal states when used pyschedelics in some other videos. All he is trying to say is meditation is the ultimate way beacuse how much ever these substances help u they might have an affect on ur body and nervous system. For example caffine gives u a state of high but, eventually u come back to pre caffine stages and become dull. There are many people who changed their life after doing pyschedelics but, there are also people who did this stuff again and again and became addicts. It is very simple ,do u want a long and sustainble solution or a quick fix. Popping a pill or herb always has affects on body. Its fine if u did it once or twice but, once you start doing every now and then eventually u will stare into abyss and nothing else. u would have ruined ur body by then

ITS CLEAR SADHGURU NEVER TAKEN AYAHUASCA AND SAD THAT HE IS GIVING SUCH CONCLUSION ON SOMETHING HE DOESNT KNOW

It doesn't matter if Sadhguru's done it or not. It is what it is. You may do it in this lifetime or not. You are the devine either way and nothing will change that... Nothing :) Peace and love to you all.

sadhguru is for everything, that is, for every tool,natural or man-made, that can help you to become a better and deserving human to attain enlightment...but of course, the best, the cheapest, the less harmful way to do it is by concentrating on your inner self, not on some exterior forces, tools or substances...because BIO IS BETTER...so don`t get excessively judgemental for nothing 🙏🙏🙏

Ayahuasca helped me a lot to understand my reality. Personally I never experienced it like a new long term reality but I looked for ways to apply those truths in beneficial ways in my actual life. It's not enteriley psychodelic (not recreational at all), to me it was much more mental, which make me question a lot of things I didn't had the courage to do before. Afterwards I felt less fragmented and much more complete. I do believe meditation is the only tool we need but intention is the most important thing when exploring the unconcious. I know this medicine heal people in a wide range of experiences but if you use the tools around you with a strong intention the results will follow. Wishing you all well.

*Wow just yesterday I was thinking how awesome it would be if Sadhguru spoke about ayahuasca , and here it is !! Let me watch the video now* 😍😍😍😍

"Yes it gives you a certain relief, but it does not take you to any place." Sadly, people who use these substances are confused. Taking these hallucinogenic substances isn't a shortcut to the enlightened experience. There is a difference between what you experience with these drugs and what you experience through true yogic practices. If it comforts you, then great. But don't confuse the two experiences. The latter is higher, the rest are distractions.

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)

Psychedelics showed me the door but i now realise the high i get from mindfulness has the power to transcend those experiences. And in fact when trying to experience that sence of inner bliss, which i have seemingly now become addicted to in the unexpected absence of drugs, now I have the drugs again they are getting in the way of that experience. Oh my god for the first time I realise I can and do feel higher without them. Just sitting in that moment. In that feeling I have constructed for myself. Im gobsmacked. This is a revelation for me. Im actually looking forward to being sober so i can get with the mindfulness tomorrow instead of being high on my usual cocktail of herbs and chemicals. Thank you God. Thank you Sadhguru. :) this is so hilarious.

My experience. If wasn't for some substance I wouldn't be here whatching this video. Yes it messes you up but at least you have a chance to see your self from the out side. The only way after the experience is to be in touch with what matters the most. Digest life as is and dance with all the situations that appear in your path. Aho my beautiful friends we are coming with all the tools we have to save humanity or will be to late. Namaste 🙏

It's so great to have different cultures on this planet. You can learn so much from people that is different from yourself.

I can feel you sadhguru. "Eyes closed and not messing with mind."This will give awareness which leads to devotion and there comes a point where we are taught by ourself. What is unconditionality. This shows a path to consciousness. Shortcut only leads to messing up with energy body. Jai shiv sambhoo, Om kali.

I have tried Aya and it does have a profound impact on my life (a glimpse of enlightenment). The experience led other things to happen, after that I have been doing daily meditation and yoga for two years. I have to say I was looking for some "instant" healing in the past, and in the search of it I did get a lot of healing. But it is only after I started discovering my own power, every meditation is a healing now. I threw away the "stuff" I had as I feel I don't need it because I am happy with how I am. It is a very slow process which takes a lot of faith in oneself.

Hilarious. He speaks about it, without experience. But then,....he tells others he can't explain what happens after death, etc, because they have not experienced it, and to talk about it would be folly. I love how he twists words to suit his agenda. He's quite good at it.

Yo you can meditate and do lsd, not saying you should, but the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Psychedelics helped me immensely on finding my path to spirituality without substances

Yes, the answer is yes.

Feeling reborn born physically, mentally and spiritually has its benefits in my opinion

I come from a time when everyone around me was on it.but I was On something else.which all of them wanted.because they knew they go up and down.I'm always like this.enough said.

Sadguru has his ways to answer everything in circles and sound like he know what he's speaking without even having any experience/knowledge.

As the buddha said when asked about the blue water lily enthogen, yes you can practice meditating for many many years and then maybe have one of these intense experiences or you can take an enthogen and have it immediately. I have great love and respect for sadhguru however sometimes I do feel he is quite opinionated. He is still only human and being enlightened doesn't change that, much to the disappointment of the western interpretation of it, but there you go

I do know Ayahuasca and can say it’s 100% not necessary and extremely dangerous. I know spiritual healers who say it does more harm to people than good. Especially since they have to help repair people after they use it. Some people also get demonic entities attached to them during the experience. What I also didn’t know until recently is that It blows out your crown chakra every time, and that takes a long time to repair. People can meditate and with due time get the same effects on their own, especially when it’s combined with certain styles of breath work. Wim Hoff speaks about how he can produce his own DMT naturally. Also, Dr. Joe Dispenza’s meditations can get the same effects happening that ayahuasca can do and you don’t have to worry about demonic possession happening, as you do need to worry about when you do Ayahuasca.

*Some QUOTES Here* “I don’t regret the things I’ve done, I regret the things I didn’t do - Lucas ( Rory Cochrane, Empire Records) “Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” - Unknown “When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.” - Unknown *My passion is Making animated self help videos, I started making them* :) have a look 😊

The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results.

I understand where he is coming from but he is being subjective to his experience, which he has none. To truly be objective I think he should try it out and then give his honest objective opinion

I think Sadghuru is a bit narrow minded here. Not everyone can sit there like he did, some people need a spark, a push, an experience to open them up to this possibility of the mystical world.

As much as Sadhguru knows, here when referencing Ayahuasca, an ancient and highly beneficial plant medicine, he knows little but still speaks as if he knows. Somas, his own ancestors knew, in South America it was Ayahuasca.

Unless you’ve ever done Ayahuasca, (Psilocybin 🍄, or LSD) you shouldn’t be opining about how it doesn’t help humans heal PTSD, trauma, depression and addictions.

Ayehuasca changed my life completely, a transformation that changed my perspective and enhanced my relationships day to day, its been 2 years and I still thank myself today for doing it. Stopped drinking, changed career choices, I live with more purpose.

Sadhguru should only opine about ayahuasca after going through a session himself.

Ayahuasca changed my life. Its not without risk, must be respected, and is like tough love.... but can be life changing.

Sometimes if a leg is broken, it needs to get a surgery, so there is no "homeopathy" treatment. Sometimes, when the mind is too much confused and the person is struggeling over Years trying to help himself with Yoga, psychological support and so on, it might help a "push" in a way of a deep diving reset to clear the mind like a restart of a computer. And in this case such psychoedelic treatment like Ayahuasca could help finding the way out from the trap. This shamanic way is seen just like "push", and not getting addicted to it. Its clear after that, the journey starts by beeing conscious, doing Yoga, eat the right non convenience food and take care of the mental Hygiene...

This man is very fixed in his belief and doesn't know what he is talking about.

Sadhguru, you are right & quite wrong on many levels in regards this. Which is a very good thing because it reminds us all that you are human too & know much, but not everything. It is unfortunate that you sound derisive, when I hope that was not your intention, as when you have such power, as you do, it can cause fear & judgement, & we are not called to fear but to love. Of course love & peace are the end of all searching & humans are such that they are curious and seek expansion. How wonderful & awful to be human. How very blessed we are. Sat nam

Thank you

Thank you there is such a trend going on about Ayahuasca for severa years in my life... I have people wanting to get me into it...thank you for saying it's endless puking...everything new and foreign is just very fancy you just become next to god like that... Thank you Sadhguru we have experts in our generation we are lucky.

Ayahuasca gives you a glimpse of what the human mind is capable of perceiving... unconditional love, wholeness, death of ego, connectedness to all living beings including animals, planet earth, demons, aliens, heightened psychic abilities, karma, past lives, becoming one with the food you eat afterwards. There is a consequence...an attachment to the blissful experience, and a drive to get back to that state, while others maybe lost in the past and attached to the perceived negative experience, which can lead to mental problems. I'd like to experience it again without puking my guts out, hence why I'm meditating. Sadhguru has described many of my Ayahuasca experiences in his sessions....I hope to get there again without relying on anything outside of me. 💖

They also whipe the boundaries between authorities like gurus and the ordinary people

Ayuasca goes far beyond physical cleansing, or mere breaking of your conscience, when well conducted, it is a journey into our conscience, where our soul will show us exactly who we are.

If he didn’t try ayahuasca before then obviously he doesn’t know what he is talking about!

Some people may be better off doing it, not to say that they need to. Otherwise it requires an amount of discipline some of us cannot muster.

Namaskaram sadguru🙏🙏

Mate i went into spirituality after my psychedelic experiences abd then kept strengthening along the way🙏🏼

I dont get the comments. He clearly said Ayahu is a total cleanup. Thats what he said and its positive if you ask me. So why so many people feel offended?

You speak wisdom

By all neccessary respect, Sadhguru, in this certain case I would strongly recommend you to do an ayahuasca ceremony with a real shaman first before coming to an incomplete and misleading conclusion. The „high“ as you call it might be of short-term in nature but the experience as a whole is definitely NOT. It can have permanent effects and for most of the participants it is an absolutely lifechanging and positive experience. Reading comments here that due to your video some people will not try it out for themselves worries me a lot as many people certainly would profit from taking part at such a ceremony although for sure it is not for everyone. You are giving the impression it is some kind of a fancy acid trip for fun addicts but be assured that it has absolutely nothing to do with it. The shamanic tradition has over 5.000 years of history and experience which even you could (and probably should) learn from. This video was discrespectful and in the worst case harmful as people who are in dire need for relief are now scared. Please be aware of your responsibility as many people love and follow you! Thank you.

Ayahuasca is not always about purge. It happens sometimes, or it may never happen. Depends on the person. I know a master who drank 1 liter of a very strong Ayahuasca and conducted an immensely beautiful ceremony without any sign of purge. But I saw masters who have been drinking ayahuasca in a regular basis for over 50 years getting out of the temple to puke after only a cup of tea. It's very subjective, then main purpose of Ayahuasca is to transcend to the divine realms, not to purge. Love & blessings 🙏

I’m pretty sure he’s saying that they can help you see different dimensions of life but they won’t help you reach spiritual enlightenment . He would rather you experience awareness over artificial awareness. It’s like becoming a professional chef without having actually cooked, you should move forward with awareness and experience rather than try to speed up the process of enlightenment

Ayahuasca: Like Sadhguru : Comment

How can a anyone tell you what you can and can't experience when you have never tried it yourself, it really annoys me seeing people with such intellect talk about things they have never experienced...God bless 🙌

It seems to me that this man plays a character called 'Sadhguru' in which this person is always right, no exception. If it's true that he hasn't experienced ayahuasca, then surely he can't possibly claim to be right like he seemingly does so. An even wiser man would say that he does not know? I feel energy from his talks that he is using his position of influence to get high off always being the one that is right and getting praise from others. My bet is that he is stuck in what I believe to be the last phase of ego, which is to always be right. If so, he does this to feel grandiose, feel 1-up to his followers to keep feeding his ego which lacks sense of worthiness deeper down. I've also noticed that his entire channel here is just all about being right and the most wise. It's a shame really, I don't get a sense of guidance or grace from him. I have found much more valuable lessons and growth and healing through the teachings and guidance from Alan Watts, Ram Dass and Eckhart Tolle.

Ayahuasca showed me enlightenment, it allowed me to experience it. It then spoke through me and told me “You don’t need anything, you don’t need anything... You don’t need to take anything to be here. This is you.” What an incredible gift it is to meet yourself, and to realise he's always been with you. Everyone’s experience is different and maybe it’s not for you, but I’d be lying if I told you that it wasn’t for me a spiritual experience of the highest order. I’ve adopted a sober lifestyle and have never been more in tune with life and myself. Meditation is the key to yourself and therefore to enlightenment, I won’t argue with Sadhguru about that, but it was ayahuasca that thought me to integrate that. This is a medicine for the body, but it is more importantly and specifically a medicine for the mind which is a gateway to the soul. This medicine doesn't fix the mind but it can set you on a path to doing so. As others have pointed out "Psychedelics can give you a peak into the garden… but if you want to stay in the garden, you gotta do the work" This is also for me the true wisdom of this video.

The whole truth which I realised after my five dmts. Now I do it naturally without karma

I disagree that it is addictive. I disagree that it makes you broken afterward. I had very beautiful feelings and experiences after having the medicine. I think it can help you realize profound levels of understanding. I don't think it's a chemical that beats our mind down. We have natural receptors in our brain for DMT. It is natural for us to connect with that medicine. I have experienced the need for an integration period but I have never felt dysfunctional afterward. I think he paints a narrow picture.

Mother Nature has the answer everybody is different so it's up to ourselves to find which way is best. Live in peace and harmony without addiction 👁️

i was born going to a baptist christian church and when i did ayahuasca i never saw jesus or "God" like i wanted to see what i did see was a lady with wild hair blue skin and her tongue sticking out ,it took me weeks to try to figure out who it was until i saw a picture of the goddess kali, it was kali who i saw...ironic as a christian i did not see my God but i did see a hindu goddess...when i finally found out who she was the whole ayahuasca teaching made since... i let go of all the things that was destroying me in life and was re-born created into a new being...ever since then i have to wonder if in ancient times if hindu monks might not of used the substance in some form....and here's the part that blew my mind the goddess kali showed me at the end that i do not exist....there is only one here ....we do not exist

I only started watching videos like this because of my time with the medicine. For those that can just get to that state of mind on their own and find inner peace, that's great and I applaud them. I wasn't able to and would be dead if it wasn't for ayahuasca. Now that I'm on the other side of the experience, I now can start to be able to try and maintain that state of mind on my own. But some people just need a little extra help.
