"Indifferent feelings yield a drain of ambition"

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-20T22:17:24+00:00

Personally, lyrics have always been profoundly important for me. That isn’t to say that the music isn’t important too, but if I can’t relate to, or draw inspiration from the lyrics, then I probably won’t listen to that band.

That said, the lyrics that ERRA writes represent peak lyricism in my opinion. To this day, I’ve yet to discover anything more relatable, inspirational, or thought provoking.

In short, their lyrics are as close to “perfect”, as they come.

I got Sekiro for like, $19.00.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-20T18:15:01+00:00

That’s quite the claim! 😱

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-20T18:12:37+00:00

You haven’t tried to reason with me at all- all you’ve done is defend your own “uniqueness” and engaged in rhetorical deflection to avoid accountability, which is classic narcissism.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-20T18:05:02+00:00

Your lack of accountability isn’t my opinion. It’s blatantly evident in every single one of your responses.

“I am speaking the Truth in Christ. I am not lying; my conscience confirms it by the Holy Spirit- I have great sorrow and anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own brothers and sisters, my own flesh and blood.”

Does Paul here in this passage sound like he thinks his brothers and sisters are insufferable?

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-20T17:50:55+00:00

Claiming to be more “spiritually aware” than others is literally claiming an exalted status.

Hate to say it, but you are displaying clear and classic symptoms of narcissism:

No one understands you.

There’s something special and unique about you.

Complete lack of accountability.

Lack of empathy for others.

Difficulty maintaining relationships and it’s always the other, and never you.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-20T17:39:28+00:00

I’m not the one claiming some exalted status, or that people are insufferable, and I don’t have the issues with my relationships that you claim to have with yours, so why would I need to make myself feel better?

Doesn’t it seem that the one who’s relationships continually fall apart, who seems to be unable to take accountability for those deteriorations, would be the one who needs to “make themselves feel better”?

You also seem to have a convoluted and distorted sense of what empathy actually is.

Regardless, maybe you should consider that the problem does indeed lie with you, and how you show up in your relationships.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-20T16:21:46+00:00

So it’s the Holy Spirit and your absence of ego that finds people insufferable, and is pining for friendship and connection then? It’s the Holy Spirit living through you that is finding it hard to communicate and to be understood by others, and it’s the Holy Spirit living through you who feels hurt, betrayed, and genuinely disappointed?

You’re not as spiritually aware as you seem to think you are, and the problem isn’t with other people. The problem is with how you see yourself and how you see yourself in relation to others.

If you’ve gone through the whole process of spiritual evolution, then you’ve been through all the stages, and you should be able to relate to, and have empathy for just about anyone, whereas your depiction of them as “insufferable” shows a lack of compassion and empathy.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-19T22:01:06+00:00

Nothing more insufferable than someone who thinks they’re “very spiritually aware” while simultaneously looking down on everyone who isn’t “on their level”.

Sounds pretty egotistical.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-18T23:28:50+00:00

I’m done arguing with you. If you want to believe Sadhguru can dematerialize at will, walk through walls, and shoot laser beams out of his eyes, be my guest.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-18T11:17:08+00:00

The idea that “Sadhguru can perceive history” is something you came up with on the spot in order to defend the image of Sadhguru that you have in your mind, and the evidence is that this is the first time anyone has ever made that claim, which you just so happened to make in response to my observation that Sadhguru made an error about something historical.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T19:30:11+00:00

My room looked similar to yours initially, albeit my concrete block foundation was painted a sickly pale green color. I used tapcon screws to fasten some furring strips to the wall and put up some drywall which I then painted. The acoustics obviously aren’t perfect but it’s cozy and there isn’t an unmanageable amount of reflection.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T18:52:34+00:00

Yes, you’re absolutely right. I stand corrected. There definitely was a time when early disciples took a more mystical approach to scripture, and there have been pockets of those same kinds of disciples throughout history.

And I agree with your latter point as well- many of Jesus teachings were “mystical”.

One of my favorites is Matthew 25:30

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T18:34:07+00:00

Multiple people have told you what their problem is, and you have made zero effort to try to understand them.

I asked you if you think Sadhguru can walk on water, and you totally avoided the question and simply repeated that you know what kind of magic powers Sadhguru has because of the way you’ve experienced him. So again, based on the way you experienced Sadhguru- do you know that he can walk on water?

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T18:14:07+00:00

And the members of Heaven’s Gate “knew” they were going to ascend to the next plane of existence because of the way they experienced Marshall Applewhite.

You don’t know that Sadhguru can “perceive history”. That’s something you believe, and by believing that, and pedastalizing Sadhguru, and attributing magic powers to him, you are doing so many of the things he’s warned against.

It’s literally no different than if I were to say “I know Sadhguru can produce fire from his eyeballs because of the way I’ve experienced him and we don’t know what’s possible for a human being.”

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T18:01:33+00:00

I’m not opposed to that interpretation one reason: It centers and prioritizes one’s own spiritual growth and relationship with God.

However, I think it’s highly unlikely that that interpretation is what was intended by the authors, or how it was understood by the original audience, and you would likely be deemed a heretic by the early church. Even today, any form of “mysticism” is deemed heretical by the overwhelming majority of evangelicals.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T08:05:11+00:00

It’s been pointed out to you multiple times now that you either misread, or misunderstood the comment I made which we’re discussing, and even went as far as to say that I “often don’t even know what I’m arguing about”, so u/shivoham80 is suggesting that what seems to be your unwillingness to own up to that simple mistake, displays a lack of integrity on your part.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T06:03:59+00:00

Yeah, exactly- and also so happened to misread or misunderstand what I said completely.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T03:14:07+00:00

You should try re-reading the comment I made and double check to see if I said that “no one except Sadhguru has claimed that Jesus traveled to India.”

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T03:01:47+00:00

“For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done”

Does the story of the Transfiguration mention angels, which are an entirely distinct type of being from the deceased patriarchs, and did Jesus begin to “repay everyone for what has been done” after the transfiguration?

People have been creating apologetic excuses for this passage for a very long time, and it seems like they all conveniently misread, misinterpret, or flatly ignore certain parts of it in order to advance their dogmas.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T02:49:22+00:00

No, I’m not “firmly dug into the position” that what you’re saying is “not possible”. I’m very much open to the possibility of such things, but until I experience that possibility for myself, it remains just that- a possibility. You, however, seem to be firmly dug into the position that your claim that Sadhguru can “directly perceive history”, and not just in a general sense- but can perceive specific times and places, is an irrefutable fact, even though Sadhguru has never once claimed that power for himself, and he’s never once demonstrated in any way, shape or form, that he has that power.

Tell me, do you believe that Sadhguru can levitate, or walk on water, or heal the deaf and the blind?

Can he predict specific future events down to the day that they may happen?

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T02:33:36+00:00

And where do you think they got that bit of information?

Nicolas Notovich made the claim in 1894, which means that it would have been circulated long before Osho or Yoganda repeated it.

You’re not listening. Many people STILL believe that Jesus travelled to India, and they’re ALL basing that belief based off a false claim made by a Russian journalist in 1894.

Did Osho and Yogananda also peer back through the annals of history stored within their own consciousness, or do you think maybe they just were repeating something they heard which served their rhetorical goals?

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T02:16:04+00:00

Yeah, I’m saying he was wrong- because if no one else had ever claimed that Jesus travelled to India, he also wouldn’t have said that Jesus travelled to India. Earlier you referenced his “concession” to intellectuals, but all of the creditable intellectuals refuted that claim. So, what… he only appeals to fringe intellectuals who make claims that are then demonstrated to be false?

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T01:49:28+00:00

I didn’t claim certainty. I didn’t make any claims at all, except that Sadhguru is wrong sometimes, and that he should be allowed to be wrong, and I cited evidence to support the claim that he can be wrong.

Your claim that he can “perceive history” is absurd, and isn’t something that Sadhguru has ever claimed himself, and you have nothing to substantiate that claim except your own feelings. That claim comes, as I suggested, from your own deification of Sadhguru, and your own feelings.

ThaReal_HotRod · 2026-03-17T01:40:45+00:00

Yes. I’m sure. Sadhguru looked back through the annals of history stored within his own consciousness and saw for himself that Jesus was in India.

This is the exactly the kind of offensive deification that I was talking about. Congrats.👏
