”So when we say a Spiritual process, we are talking about an Existential Dimension, not a psychological dimension, not a social dimension.” Sadhguru
I shared the following message for video, “Why Positive Thinking Won’t Take You Far | Sadhguru“ (related screenshots of Sadhguru’s key points within this video, toward bottom of this post):
I’m so grateful for this VERY RARE, PRECIOUS, and INVALUABLE outer world confirmation of profound wisdom,
to what I’ve intuitively and strongly sensed for a while, but noticed how I was going against the grain of this world.
This gift 💝 showed up in Divine perfect timing and order.
There have even been many spiritual teachers, healers, and life coaches, who FELT much more left brain, logical mind centered, mostly focusing on the power of the mind, positive thoughts, and manifestations…
though their vibrational frequencies, presence, demeanor, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues, often didn’t match their “right” words.
They were not deeply in touch with their hearts and WHOLE essence as well, which includes ALL aspects, and not just the mind, positive thoughts, and other positive aspects.
And excessive focus only on the positive of Life has caused many to experience—on both the giving and receiving end—“High Vibes Only,” Toxic Positivity, Denying, Pretending, Gaslighting, Stonewalling, Neglecting, Psychological Abusing, Patronizing, Condescending, Guilt and/or Shame Instilling, Isolating, and Spiritual Bypassing.
EXAMPLE: It’s like an often, super smiley (on the outside), mostly book knowledge, NOT fully present, very poor listening, non-Heart centered, non-empathetic, elderly woman “master life coach” basically telling a grown, adult woman (a student) in her 50’s or 60’s—without even acknowledging her willingness to share her vulnerability—“Good girl for not thinking negative thoughts! Remember, we attract what we are, so only think positive!” 😳🤢🤮
Yes, the above is the ultimately neutral emotion of disgust, that I felt at that moment (as a witness), which I fully embrace 🫂, because it’s beyond FAKE, insincere, and disrespectful to those who don’t deserve to be treated that way.
This is similar to naturally feeling disgusted if we were standing in a porta potty that’s packed with 🐂💩 and urine, that’s been marinating in the very humid, scorching hot 🥵 summer for several days.
“Some evolutionary benefits of the emotion of disgust, is to keep us away from, get away from, block off, eliminate or remove things that are potentially unhealthy, toxic, non-beneficial, damaging, or even dangerous, to keep us safe and healthy […]” [paraphrased from consolidated online definitions]
I’ve already shared some observations that this “master” didn’t want to hear; and I have a feeling there will be more to come (or not) in perfect timing. [Update Insights and expanded perspectives about this master life coach, further below]
Wherever I go, I’m often not liked by those who have been very comfortable spreading 🐂 💩, but OH WELL 🤷🏻♀️. I have no doubt that I’m ❤️🔥 meant to IGNITE 🕯️☄️💥🔥.
Anyhoo, Unity Consciousness INCLUDES separation consciousness, since UNION is INCLUSIVE.
So even though OPPOSITES/CONTRASTS/DUALITY/POLARITY come with the package deal of physical worlds…
The Observer 💖👁️👀 within us, as us, and through us, can EMBRACE All That Is, and perceive interconnected Life in a NEUTRAL way, rather than DENY its existence by only focusing on the positive.
After all, we’re not just Spiritual Beings having a human experience, but we’re ALSO physical human as well, existing, Being/being within a physical world.
Therefore, sometimes we will even experience the so-called negative in Life—to include our invaluable, rainbow 🌈 spectrum of negative and positive emotions—and that’s okay.
As long as we allow them to flow through us in healthy ways (rather than SUPPRESS them), and eventually remember to SEE 👁️👀 with CLARITY the BIGGER picture…
We can Be Inner Wisdom, Inner Peace, Inner Freedom, Inner Joy, Inner Creativity, and much more.
We can learn from small children—who have not been too conditioned (contaminated) by society yet—how to Be more AUTHENTIC/TRANSPARENTLY HONEST/WHOLE/PURE/LOVE/JOY/FREE-SPIRIT.
When they’re happy, they smile and laugh, when they’re sad, they cry, when they’re angry, they express (but are also quick to forgive), when they’re hungry and thirsty (to include babies), they want to eat and drink, when they’re tired they sleep, when they’re in pain, they let it be known so that they can be helped, when they feel disgusted by whatever, they often make matching facial expressions, or even shout sounds like, “EW!!! 🤢🤮” 😄
Thank you Sadhguru 🙏, deeply appreciate you. I also enjoyed the bird 💩 and buffalo 🦬 story! 🤣
😘💝💗💓💕🐻🫂

Update Insights
Regarding the example story mentioned above, like everyone else, this “master life coach” is doing the best she knows how from her strongly conditioned, logical mind.
Because she has not deeply healed within herself, she is not able to sympathize with her students, let alone deeply empathize.
When a student has a question, she impatiently snaps with a big smile, and informs the student to get to the point, to just ask their question.
The only man in the group built the courage to be vulnerable, and shared a challenge he was going through.
But instead of taking a moment to basically communicate, “I HEAR you, I SEE you, and I FEEL you”…
she completely disregarded what he said, and went off on some unrelated tangent about being positive (aka Toxic Positivity).
The look on his face was priceless, because he went from a genuinely happy facial expression—proud of himself to openly share—to a look of disbelief and disappointment.
She mostly and literally gives textbook answers from the Instructor guidebook, to include quotes that don’t come off inspiring due to the non-heartfelt way they’re presented.
This reminded me of many Christians (but not all) who memorize, regurgitate, and preach Bible quotes to others, without Being Living Wisdom.
To be transparently honest, it’s very challenging to respect and like her from a human perspective.
And I realized more than ever before, that just because someone has various degrees, certifications, certificates, and other qualifications of this ass-backwards world, doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re truly and/or fully qualified to teach, heal, or coach others.
However, from an expanded, MERGED Heart/Mind perspective…
when I think about a story she shared, how she basically had to grow up fast—be a mother to her mother during childhood—I’m able to FEEL compassion for her.
I can also have respect and admiration for her inner-strength and courage at such a young and tender age, where children are meant to be free-spirited Souls enJOYing Life, without such HEAVY, adult responsibilities.
Plus, she’s been deeply ingrained to pretend from childhood through adulthood that everything’s all sunshine, rainbows, and flowers (a survival technique).
I’m also reminded from within that we can all learn from such Soul teachers who NOT to be, and what NOT to do, as well as appreciate their positive qualities.
Furthermore, sharing truths that need to be heard may trigger others—and may lead to being unpopular—but if the intention is to highly benefit the Self/self/humanity/and beyond, then it’s okay to go against the grain.
